Original subtitles

The infinite universe has a planet that resembles the Earth.

On that planet, there is a country named Joseon.

If the name sounds strangely familiar to you,

you are mistaken.

Two women are born on the same date by chance.

And accidentally, their fates go different ways of life and death.

That is where this story begins.

I am telling you once again. This story is fiction.

(Prohibition of Marriage)

- What does it say? - What is it?

- What is happening? - What is that?

What is it about? Someone should explain.

- It says they will forbid marriage. - What?

It has been only a short while since the Crown Princess passed away.

How can they select a spouse for the royal family already?

They are going to prevent my daughter from getting married!

Prohibition of Marriage? What does that mean?

So,

speaking of this Prohibition of Marriage,

The royal family orders it when they select...

the queen and the royal concubine.

To put it simply, they are saying they will go first,

and they will stop every woman at a marriageable age...

from getting married.

That is what it means.

What? Then I cannot have a bride?

If we cannot get married, I cannot meet my groom!

And at this age,

a boy and a girl should not even sit together when they are over age seven!

A man and a woman cannot meet freely...

to get intimate.

Before they get married, they cannot even hold hands.

And they prohibit marriage?

That is not fair.

I want to learn about predicting marital harmony. What do you think?

Forget it. They prohibited marriage!

You can predict marital harmony when people get married.

Then they will come to you and pay money to see if they are compatible.

Now, all the fortune tellers who predict marital harmony will go starving!

Are you not spiritually powerful?

And yet, you know one thing but not the other.

Even if the country publicly prohibited marriage,

it cannot ban the love between all men and women.

- What? - Just wait and see.

The more the country forbids it,

the more love will be in the air.

As long as we are in the center...

of the relationship between two people,

we will be able to make a living one way or another.

Goodness. I am too big of a coward to trick others.

Do not drag me into it.

What? How is this tricking others?

It is only natural for a man and a woman to live together.

It is this country that is crazy for banning it.

Goodness.

If I dare say,

I am only a messenger of love for young men and women.

Catch him!

Catch him!

Though it may look like a dangerous task,

it is quite rewarding.

I will not be able to get married in this lifetime.

So here goes my one shot at life!

Come on!

If you would like, I could find you a bride.

- A bride? - A bride?

With this money,

I could even set up a secret wedding.

What? A wedding?

Is she serious?

Then...

- Search for him. - Yes, sir.

For now, keep the money.

Let us meet again, all right?

- What? - Is he crazy?

I might get married.

- What? - What is wrong with you?

Goodness.

Oh, did I not help you two get together last time?

What is with those looks? Oh, my.

Is it too dangerous?

No!

(Prohibition of Marriage)

(Prohibition of Marriage)

Gosh. Is this true?

The King is such a tyrant.

Do you not agree?

He prohibited marriage.

Every queen selection gets canceled.

He does not have a son either.

It has already been seven years since young men and women...

have not been able to love.

- Gosh, I cannot do this anymore. - She is right.

- My daughter might become a virgin ghost. - Gosh.

How frustrating.

Look. I gave birth to her, my daughter.

Is she not beautiful?

But she will go to waste.

- You are right. - Gosh.

When on earth will she be able to get married?

(The Forbidden Marriage)

Ye So Rang is released from prison.

(Jeonju Government Office)

When will you stop scamming people?

I need money to live a decent life.

This will help you settle, right?

Old man. Where did you get this money?

I saved up from the scams you...

It is the money from predicting marital compatibility.

With this money,

I can even find a store in Valley Insa.

Valley Insa?

Let us go to Hanyang.

Hey, did you not refuse to go to Hanyang?

You are not mentally stable, are you?

How much longer will you wander around?

Gosh.

(Episode 1)

Must we really go this far?

Yes, we must really go this far.

Mixing drugs inside the king's tea...

is a serious crime that is graver than any other crime.

Think of all the years we have served him.

Even if I were to lose my tongue...

or become a eunuch for treason, I will do what I must.

But you are already a...

Never mind.

Do not fear.

It is a decisive step for this country, Joseon.

Where is the child ready for today?

Come forth.

My name is Cho Ran.

Nobody in Joseon can beat Cho Ran...

when it comes to the techniques in bed.

If it is her, tonight will be the grand day for him.

It is said that even old men within an inch of their life...

will produce a child with this.

But His Majesty is not an ordinary man.

If we fail tonight, His Majesty is either...

a eunuch or a homosexual.

What? This man is the King?

Who is she?

She is replacing Court Lady Sun Hwa, who is sick in bed.

Her name is Cho Ran.

She will serve you tea that will help you fall asleep.

I see.

There you go.

I heard a cup was enough to make men hot and bothered.

If you are feeling hot,

I will help you undress.

Well then, we will excuse ourselves now.

Ja Yeon.

Ja Yeon.

Please think of me as Ja Yeon.

Who are you to dare say that name?

Is there anyone outside?

- Darn it. - Gosh.

My goodness!

- Oh, no. - Oh, no.

Who was it that did this?

Please kill me.

Tell me.

Why did you do such a thing?

I beg of you.

Please get married already.

I guess you have lived long enough.

Would you like to end it here?

Lee Shin Won of the Department of Justice. It has been a while, Your Majesty.

Leave us.

What if they end up in a sword fight?

No way. They have known each other for years.

Goodness.

I have returned after accomplishing the mission as ordered, Your Majesty.

Today's report is quite aggressive, no?

Do you see me as a madman and a tyrant too?

Right now, yes. I quite do.

Your Majesty. I understand what you are worried about.

But please consider the pain your people are going through...

because of the seven-year-long...

Prohibition of Marriage.

Do you also believe you can get married once the Prohibition of Marriage ends?

You are still looking for her, right? The lady who had disappeared.

So the only person who can understand me is you.

Shin Won.

Even if everyone points fingers at me,

please stay by my side...

until the end.

I will fulfill your command.

In the end, we returned to this place.

Gosh. Are you happy even in the state we are in?

What is there not to be happy about?

We have our seed money.

Let us go.

Hanyang, I am back.

It is cheap. It really is.

Our products are good quality.

- We have abacuses. - How nice.

How do I look?

- Goodness. I told you, did I not? - Anyone here?

You should have just listened to me. Gosh.

Anyone here?

Yes, I am right here.

I am looking for a vacant store in Valley Insa.

Right.

What kind of a store do you have in mind?

- I am thinking of running a tea house... - Yes?

in a quiet place.

- Oh, a tea house? - Yes.

If it is a tea house, there are several near here.

- Why not have a look? - Let us go.

It is this store right here.

As it is right in front of the capital,

numerous people come and go.

Excuse me?

(For urgent sale: A heartbreaking closure)

Here it is. What do you think? Nice, right?

(A tearful closing sale, Everything is 1 yang.)

(Farewell to marriage sale)

(The owner is crazy! The store is closing.)

Okay.

It is this one.

Do you want to look around more?

No. We will take this place.

(Aedaldang)

"Aedaldang," is it?

Are you going to read marital compatibility here?

What if some men and women fall in love and get married?

You will get arrested right away.

So what? Are you going to inform the State Tribunal?

My job ends once we settle the payment.

Darn it.

By the way, did what happened yesterday already spread?

Unexpectedly, the stores ran out of stocks of Viagra.

Gosh. And what is more, is that...

What is it?

There are rumors that the ghost of the crown princess,

who had died miserably,

possessed the palace and stopped all youngsters...

from getting married.

Did you not tell me His Majesty sees things?

Ghost, my foot.

His Majesty has simply not let go of her yet.

Like you, sir?

Yes. Like me.

So, did you just send off the girl who had visited your chamber...

last night?

I did not know whose orders she took.

How is that important? Goodness.

I heard Saracen envoys had secretly come and gone...

from your chamber with drugs.

Should I have that investigated first?

And so? How far did you go with her?

Grandmother!

Gosh. I am just worried, you know?

Worried about how healthy your body is...

and if the rumors in the streets are true.

What rumors?

It is nothing.

Goodness. The queen's quarter must be filled as soon as possible.

Only then will I be free of such worries.

You know what will happen...

if you carelessly fill that spot, do you not?

Your Majesty. Due to the long years of prohibiting marriage,

the birth rate has hit rock bottom.

The government...

should be providing bridal chambers for newlyweds,

not prohibiting marriage.

How can we discuss the future...

when no babies are being born?

Please proceed with a queen selection as soon as possible.

The rumors among the eunuchs...

A mad tyrant.

A man desiring a man. A homosexual.

A eunuch who cannot fulfill his duty.

But it is a relief, is it not?

Your Majesty is none of the above.

Maybe it is you, Minister of War,

who sees me in that light?

I am only passing along what the people gossip about...

when they gather late at night every day.

If you just lift the prohibition on marriage,

everyone will be at peace.

There was not a thing I could do about it.

How come? Do you not have that thing attached to you?

Minister!

Youngsters these days...

are busy preparing for exams and swamped with work...

that they do not have the energy to spare for marriage.

From what I see, nothing will change...

whether Your Majesty lifts the ban...

or not.

Why do you take it for granted that...

you can take away the rights of the people?

Listen, everyone.

As a matter of fact,

the marriage prohibition should not last any longer.

At any cost, I will welcome a queen this year...

and lift the prohibition...

of marriage.

It will already be the 3rd queen selection in 7 years.

You canceled...

the last selection without much reason, did you not?

However, that will not happen this time.

How could you be so sure of what may happen?

You speak as if this selection...

will become canceled as well, Minister.

Not at all. I speak out of concern for your well-being...

and out of my deep loyalty to you, Your Majesty.

My well-being, you say.

My well-being...

Your Majesty.

Where are you headed?

Should I not overcome the matters of my own well-being?

I will go to the Crown Princess' Palace.

Your Majesty!

(Gyeonghoeru)

What is all this?

Come with me.

Heon.

Goodness.

Please just call me by my name once.

Yi Heon.

Heon.

Heon.

How could I dare to call you by your name?

Crown Princess.

Why do you not open yourself up to me?

How could I relieve tension...

when showing my loyalty to you?

Loyalty? Gosh, I do not care for such things.

I prefer adoration. And most of all,

a woman's love and affection for her husband. Something of that sort.

Ta-da.

Today, I prepared a sweet drink.

I wanted our relationship to become sweeter as well.

You always cherish me. I am grateful...

and truly sorry.

You are loved...

because you are lovely.

Even such beautiful affection...

can be misunderstood by others.

When a husband loves his wife?

You must not reveal...

even the slightest weakness, Your Highness.

The water is calm.

But waves are what keep the ocean from turning rotten.

Underneath the calm surface,

the water may be rotting away.

If authority is stagnant, it also rots.

You need a wave to turn the tide.

A wave to change the nation is necessary.

However, those without a tether may be swept away in the wave.

So, do you mean you do not have a tether?

How about I become your tether?

I will do it.

Your Highness.

You must keep your adoration and political matters separate.

If I do get swept away in a wave that sweeps the palace...

and drift far away from you,

please do not worry and take care of yourself.

Why would we...

drift apart?

Then promise me.

That you will take care of yourself.

Does this mean you cannot promise me?

Please take care of yourself, Your Highness.

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

Your Highness, you must not be here.

Out of my way.

- Your Highness, you must not be here. - Out of my way!

Your Highness!

I am that woman's husband. Get out of my way.

If you lay eyes on the body of the sinner who has committed suicide,

it will bring you bad luck.

Who are you calling a sinner?

Suicide?

This has to be...

Your Highness.

murder by strangulation.

This is murder!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Let go of me!

Who dared to kill the Crown Princess?

Who dared to...

Princess. Why are you lying here?

Please open your eyes.

What am I to do?

Is anyone out there?

Bring the royal physician!

Why are you lying here like this?

You cannot leave like this.

Ja Yeon, please open your eyes!

What do I do?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. Please do not do this.

You must go back.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

I must overcome all of it.

Those who do not know what happened may say that.

However, we are not those people.

Do not go inside, Your Majesty.

Get out of my way.

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty.

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E01 'The Forbidden Marriage' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(Jaseondang)

Princess.

Come here, Princess.

This was definitely suicide.

She never adjusted to life in the palace.

The deposed princess was disloyal to His Highness by dying before him.

She must never be forgiven.

Who?

Who says I will tolerate this?

Who?

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

Were you not just here?

Princess...

I am right here!

You were here, just now!

Ja Yeon...

Your Majesty.

Yes, Shin Won.

The Crown Princess was here just now. Did you not see her?

I swear, she was here a moment ago.

Your Majesty.

You said you would choose a queen...

and repeal the Prohibition of Marriage by the end of the year.

If you keep seeing the late Crown Princess,

you will not be able to remarry.

You must let her go and move on.

I am afraid I would not be able to do it in this lifetime.

In this lifetime, you are doomed to failure anyway.

Even if you shower ladies with the most expensive jewels,

you cannot win their hearts.

Come with me.

Let us talk over a cup of tea.

I will teach you how to win a woman's heart.

There is no woman I fancy.

Liar. How dare you try to swindle us?

There is no way you bought that for your mother.

- Not a chance. - She is clueless, after all.

I think she is a charlatan.

No, I am...

Oh, dear. No matter how hard you try, you cannot love a woman.

What can you do?

Even when this all passes...

No. Even after a thousand years, it will not change.

You fool. You have no idea how painful it can be.

So they are like you?

Do not deceive yourselves any longer.

Accept yourselves for who you are and love yourselves.

Loving yourselves is more important than anything else in the world.

That is right.

Thank you, old man.

Hey, wait up!

What is their story?

That old man must be the real deal.

Yes! Gwaeng Yi the Pickax never disappoints!

With his psychic abilities alone, he can pick your mind apart...

and figure out exactly what you are thinking.

All right. If you have any questions about your love life,

come to Aedaldang. Come to...

(Aedaldang)

You fool!

Hey, you have zero psychic abilities.

I told you not to give fake readings that do not even make sense.

You forget things time to time, so your abilities come and go.

My gut instincts are usually a lot more accurate.

Why are you suddenly yelling at me?

We are inside the Capital now.

- We are no longer vagrants! - Gosh.

And I told you we should not accept customers during the day.

Why tout on the street? Do you want me to get arrested?

My heart was pounding like crazy because of you. I nearly lost my wits!

You are going senile due to old age. Do not blame it on me.

Anyway, that fine young man swings that way?

What a shame.

You see, back in the day...

I was a lot more handsome than he is.

Let me slap you in that handsome face. Come here.

- How dare you. - Come here. Now.

Oh, excuse me.

Is this Aedaldang?

I heard you were looking to hire someone.

(Tea House Aedaldang)

Your name is Hae Young.

You worked at a restaurant in the past,

and you took a little break from work.

Oh, it is extremely hard to get a job these days.

Ten years ago, you became obsessed with erotic novels...

and read everything you could get your hands on.

Well, let me see.

Oh, "My Scholar From the Star."

"The Heirs of the Saracen Empire."

"Royal Concubines of the Sun."

Oh, please do not get the wrong idea.

This necklace means that you passed the interview.

Pardon me?

Of course, it is a permanent position.

Nice!

Thank you! I will work very hard!

(Hae Young got the job at Aedaldang!)

(Aedaldang)

It is risky to love at a time when marriage is prohibited altogether.

We really needed an employee well versed in love.

Keep this in a safe place,

and you will meet a man who will change your life for the next 30 years.

Is it true? Thank you very much.

All right, next.

How is your tea?

Would you like a compatibility reading?

- My gosh. - I want a reading too!

I hear...

all the young ladies in town disappear at night...

and return home at dawn.

Where are they going in the middle of the night?

- What if... - Is that true?

I hear people gather together every night and talk about me.

You mean, how they call you a crazy tyrant?

No, not that.

Oh, they say you either cannot get it up or like men...

I must find out whether people are truly saying such things about me.

You wish to find out yourself?

Hello, welcome to Aedaldang.

I hear you give such accurate readings.

Yes! How did you know?

"Aedaldang?"

Hello, welcome.

- This place looks suspicious. - This place looks suspicious.

You have come to the right place.

All right. If you draw just one more line here...

(Age: 24)

(Age: 34)

Look. Now, you are 34 years old, not 24.

You are in your 30s. What does that mean?

You have passed age 25, which means...

you can get married.

Oh, but would people believe me if I told them I was 34 years old?

Of course!

Just tell them that you look younger than your age.

I must say, it sounds like marriage fraud.

How come the end of the marriage prohibition is nowhere in sight?

Come on. Do you still not know the reason?

They say the King either cannot get it up...

or likes men.

So which one is it?

I think...

it is the former.

His thing must be completely useless.

That is why the prohibition order has been in place for seven years.

Let go of me.

I should show them.

- No! - Shall I take it out and show them?

Please, no.

What do you say? We charge two yang for writing your love letter for you.

It includes the express delivery service.

I will go with that.

What if you get caught?

They inspect every piece of mail to catch the ones who send love letters.

Countless couples all over the country are happily married thanks to me.

I never get caught!

The criminal must come out at once!

I see. You must be the notorious matchmaking swindler.

Me?

No, I am not.

- Get her! - Yes, sir!

Are you okay?

This woman...

Did I just run into the arms of an investigator?

Gosh, I am ruined.

Of course. It is her.

Oh, no.

My Lady.

Where are you going in such a hurry?

Darn it!

I cannot believe this.

What is going on?

Excuse me.

You are under arrest.

But why?

You dare to insult the King?

Hey. Let me out!

Gosh, you are so loud. Quiet down!

A fraud matchmaker.

How did you end up committing such fraud with everything happening these days?

Master.

Do you know of the Moonlit Matchmaker?

It is said that the Moonlit Matchmaker...

tied a red thread around the pinkies of fated lovers.

But how could a law of the land...

cut that thread?

You mean to say a fate once decided cannot be severed?

All I did was follow that thread to find people's fate.

I have never done anything harmful.

What is your name?

I am called So Rang.

Connect fate?

Some things just cannot be done, no matter how hard you try.

I can tell that you also have a deeply hidden lover...

you have not seen in a while.

You wench! Who are you trying to defraud?

You dare to defraud an investigator of Department of Justice?

You will end up in big trouble.

Marriage may be a crime in current times,

but it is not a crime to love someone.

If it is, then you too, are a criminal.

Is your heart not full of love for someone too?

Anyone who lives in Joseon...

is a criminal,

just for loving someone.

Until you repent for your own crimes,

you will never be released from this prison.

What? Wait...

Gosh, that was an amazing line.

"Anyone who lives in Joseon is a criminal,"

"just for loving someone."

- What is this? - Then,

can men like us also find love?

Who are you?

If love is a crime, then we are criminals.

- We are forlorns of this nation. - I am Wang Bae.

(Forlorns, people who have never properly spoken to someone of the opposite gender)

I am Oh Duk Hoon.

(Forlorns)

What are those punks playing at?

To meet like this is quite special too. Could you listen to our concerns?

Hey, do not talk to them.

They ended up in here for peeping at women washing their hair at the stream.

We were not peeping!

We were not peeping. We went there to wash up too.

Get your heads out of there.

But... Gosh.

I wish everyone would leave me alone.

Gosh, how pretty.

- Goodness. - How long has it been?

Gosh.

She is very pretty.

How do I get out of here?

I came all the way here...

for that petty criminal.

Your Majesty, you must head back now.

Let us go.

You!

Do you know who I am? How dare you lock me up here?

I am...

the Moonlit Matchmaker.

- The Moonlit Matchmaker? - The Moonlit Matchmaker?

Is she possessed by a spirit?

She must be a powerful fortuneteller.

How can spirits come and go from her body?

I, Moonlit Matchmaker, declare.

The Prohibition of Marriage will end within the year!

The Prohibition of Marriage will end!

Then will a new queen be selected this year?

However,

unless the ghost of the Crown Princess is not washed away from the King,

the new queen's life...

will not be safe either.

Then, you will become...

forlorn souls forever!

- No! - No!

That woman is a fraud.

Do you believe what she is saying?

I, Moonlit Matchmaker, declare.

Unless the Prohibition of Marriage is abolished within the year,

this palace will face a big disaster.

This nation...

will see a battle of forlorns!

A battle of forlorns!

Shin Won.

Later, at 9 p.m...

Listen up, criminal.

His Majesty has been informed of your crimes.

What?

What?

His Majesty will question you in person regarding your crimes. Be prepared.

The King himself?

Excuse me.

Why would I meet the King?

Is it a normal thing for lowly people like me...

to face the King over these things?

Excuse me.

You cannot face His Majesty in this state.

You must change your clothes first.

Get down.

Oh, right.

Sit up.

I hear you have spiritual powers.

Well, I would not put it that way.

It comes and goes.

I hear the Moonlit Matchmaker possessed your body earlier.

That is...

I did not intend for it to happen, but it did.

Raise your head and face me.

Do I really have a ghost haunting me?

He is the King?

Oh, my. He is handsome.

But his face...

looks haggard for he has been losing sleep for days. Hence the sad eyes.

But he truly has a fine face.

No, I mean... In conclusion,

this is the face of a heartbroken man.

Ghost, my foot.

He thought he saw things, but it is all in his head.

As for your question,

there is a ghost.

I bet you cannot fall asleep at night.

Ghosts and spirits are most active at night.

You do not have a serious illness,

but I bet you have a hard time swallowing food.

And do you not see or hear things from time to time?

Whenever that happens, you must feel severe pain in your solar plexus...

as if you have been hit with an iron hammer.

Yes. It hurts. It is very painful.

The late Crown Princess shows up in my dreams,

but I cannot hear what she says.

What is she...

trying to tell me?

I would be a real psychic if I knew that.

What was His Majesty's name?

Yi Heon? "Heon?"

I saw her face in my dream.

However, it was so blurry.

If you truly possess the power to communicate with the dead,

can you summon her spirit in front of me?

Pardon me?

The thing is, her corporeal body is already gone.

Then how am I supposed to believe that you truly have such powers?

Well...

You must have lied about having such powers!

No, I did not lie. No way!

Although I cannot physically show you the late Crown Princess,

I may be able to let her spirit possess my body.

What is happening?

Goodness.

Your Highness.

How have you been?

Crown Princess, is it truly you?

First, allow me to greet you properly with a deep bow.

My body...

and bones have disintegrated into dust.

So has my face.

My corporeal existence has now disappeared without a trace.

However, my spirit still lingers in the corporeal realm...

for my pain...

is too great.

You are in pain? What is wrong?

Seeing you hurting because of me...

pains me so much.

I died...

and left you alone like this.

My sin is too great to be forgiven.

What can I do to make up for my sin?

I am truly sorry.

What are you talking about?

It is all my own fault for failing to protect you.

I have been wandering in this realm...

for I was too worried about you.

- Now... - Now,

please let me go.

Let you go?

Where will you go?

You must let me go.

So I can leave this realm and ascend.

I wanted to see you,

even if this was the only way.

Now, you must let me go.

Forget me and do not long for me.

Would I be able to do that in this lifetime?

Spirits cannot linger in a living body for a long time.

I...

must go.

Do not leave yet. Hold on.

Please do not leave me. Stay just a little longer.

Do not leave me. Please...

- Do not go... - Your Majesty.

Her Highness the Crown Princess must have left my body.

Your Majesty.

I want all of you to leave at once.

Then what will happen to me now?

Lock her up again.

Pardon me? What? Wait.

Wait, I mean...

You are sending me back to jail? Wait, Your Majesty!

You must have something else to say to the late Crown Princess.

I will relay your words to her, Your Majesty!

Let me go!

Hey, what happened?

Do not talk to me!

See? She is a fraud.

Did something happen?

Sir. Investigator Lee Shin Won!

Lee Shin Won?

Lee Shin Won?

What is the matter?

Investigator, is your name Lee Shin Won?

The eldest son of the family living in the willow tree house?

How did you know? People did call me like that in the past.

Oh, I am...

Lee Shin Won, the eldest son of the family living in the willow tree house.

If you underestimate my powers,

Then you will pay dearly!

How does she know that you see ghosts?

I thought it was just my illusion.

Your Majesty!

- Withdraw the Prohibition of Marriage! - Who is it?

I asked, who is it there!

Your Majesty!

- The Crown Prince has depression... - Go away.

- As soon as possible... - Go away!

- Please select the Queen! - Your Majesty!

- Please withdraw the prohibition. - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, do you remember me?

- Crown Prince. - Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

They say a body is hung in the Crown Princess' chamber.

How many days are left until the anniversary of the Crown Princess' death?

If we cannot find who committed the murder before that,

another woman's body will be hung in the Crown Princess' chamber.

It has already been six years.

Every year, on the same day, in the same spot,

a woman's body is hung.

We could not save any of them.

In the last selection, the Internal Court decided on...

a candidate, and she died.

So you canceled the selection...

as if it was your intention.

The Prohibition of Marriage itself...

is something a traitor would design.

The Crown Princess is not someone who would commit suicide!

(Geunjeongjeon)

Please allow me to have her funeral!

Please...

Your Highness,

it is not allowed to have a funeral for someone who committed suicide.

I want to see my father and hear what he says.

I am the one who helped him to ascend the throne.

So you do not need to hear it directly from him.

My word is what he intends.

What are you doing?

Take the Crown Prince to his chamber now.

Father!

If I catch all the traitors,

then would the sounds I hear stop,

and the ghosts I see disappear?

Shin Won,

I must be crazy.

I feel glad to see the ghosts.

You are agonizing so much.

How about keeping her at hand?

She looked like she could practice a bit of sorcery.

You can keep her by your side...

and comfort the spirit of the Crown Princess who died.

I will disguise her as a court lady,

so that she can enter the palace.

But we are doing this...

as a process to let the Crown Princess leave.

Do you think you can do that?

Shin Won, you told me that I have to forget.

Can you escort that girl when she goes in and out of the palace?

As you know, this palace is...

kind of dangerous.

I will follow your order.

You can come out now.

My spirit is still staying here...

because it is so painful.

Seeing you tormented because of me...

is so painful.

I have been wandering because I was worried about you.

Now, you should let me go.

You should forget the feeling of missing me.

Follow me carefully. I will show you where you are going to stay.

(Gyeonghoeru)

Crown Princess.

You are here.

I must be crazy.

I am longing for a ghost.

(The Forbidden Marriage)

I have to work as a court lady now.

I have to enter the palace as one.

It surprised me!

- Whose stomach grumbled? - Are you hungry?

Does the Crown Princess say she feels hungry?

He must be so lonely to miss a dead person.

You need to make him forget her, even by cheating.

If they find out I cheated, they might put me in prison.

I need to get him on my side first.

If you finish that drink, we can be friends.

Were you supposed to marry someone in the past?

Ye Hyun Sun.

Is it the name of someone you know?
