Original subtitles

Let me see your face.

I am sure.

Like you ordered, I let him in for now.

50 SHADES OF THE YOUNG LADY

You are amazing.

What is your secret to writing so many books?

I get inspiration when I look at beautiful women.

And tonight, I might be able to finish a book thanks to you, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

SECRETS OF THE FEMALE TRANSVESTITE OF SUNGKYUNKWAN

THE PRINCESS' PRIVATE LIFE

What is this?

"The Princess' Private Life"?

I never had you in mind when I wrote that book.

It is just a novel. Please do not take it the wrong way.

It is all right.

-No! -No!

Please... No...

I said it is all right.

I am not that narrow-minded.

You might not like what you read.

What's the matter? You're making me curious.

It is not fun to read at all.

It is a piece of garbage. Gwang-su wrote it.

Please kill him.

Gosh.

I cannot fall asleep when I am curious about something.

It might be harder to fall asleep if you read it.

You must have read it.

No way. I do not read things like that.

You did. That must be why you are being like this.

What is the matter?

Master Min!

No.

Min Yu-hwan?

He's in the capital?

He must have heard that the Princess is residing outside the palace.

He came to die of his own accord.

How shall I deal with it?

He cannot meet the Princess.

However,

bring him to me alive.

I have a lot to ask him.

Follow me quietly.

-It is dangerous. -I need to talk to him.

-It may be another trap. -I do not care.

I do not care even if it is a trap, so let go!

Then I shall go with you.

I cannot let you go alone.

That was a bad move.

Do you think so?

Why is the princess still staying outside the palace?

I only laid the groundwork of my plan.

It is not fun to let the other know your entire plan.

Being too complicated

is not fun either.

Does she irritate you a lot?

I shall remove her soon.

So do not worry.

Please hurry.

It is getting harder to hold in.

I have

brought him.

Good job.

Why did you release that butcher?

We searched through the butcher's,

but could not find a single piece of evidence

that proves his involvement in the jirashi incident.

I cannot keep the innocent in prison. You know that.

Jeong Gi-jun.

It has been a while.

The dethroned queen is alive?

The Princess has her jade ring.

The dethroned queen had that ring ten years ago.

There is no way.

We saw her dead body.

But we could not check her face.

What if that dead body was not her?

What if she was not attacked by wild animals?

Why did you come to think so?

I think

Master Min has found her.

Do you mean the Princess' teacher?

Ever since he came back from his investigation,

they often meet in secret.

That brazen girl must be planning to bring her mother back in.

She wants to kick me out and put her mother on my seat.

The King must not...

He must never find this out.

Eliminate both the Princess...

-and Master Min. -That is not important now.

If she is really alive,

we need to find out

who saved her for what reason.

Have you been well?

It must have been tough to live with a price on your head.

Why did you not come visit me earlier?

We have a lot to talk about.

Your Majesty, the Queen is here to see you.

Let her in.

What brings you here?

I heard

you have not been sleeping well these days.

I brought lotus leaf tea.

I have had enough tea already. Leave it and go.

Is it because of the Princess?

I am very much concerned about her as well.

She is there to take a rest,

but I feel anxious to leave her outside like that.

I will guide and teach her.

Why do you not bring her into the palace now?

-My Queen. -Yes, Your Majesty.

If you are that anxious and worried,

take this tea and have it yourself.

You may leave now.

I have a lot of work to do.

The way he looked at me

was like a freezing wind.

I must have lost his favor that night. I am certain.

What should I do now?

What if he tries to avoid me?

Your Highness.

Do you remember what the shaman told you? It is tonight.

-Where is my order? -It is coming.

-Enjoy. -Thanks.

Here. Thanks for the food.

-Excuse me. -What?

Let us go back.

Everyone must be worried by now.

Are you going to stay up all night like this?

You should go back.

You go.

Do you believe he will come back?

You know that he went with the guy with a scar.

Just report this to the Office of Investigation.

Whether he came back to see you or harm you, they might--

I cannot do that.

His limbs will be torn apart if he gets caught.

I cannot put him in danger.

What if you get hurt?

What are you trying to do with a wanted person?

What do you know?

What makes you think you can say such things?

I just do not want you...

to be in danger because of him.

I do not want you...

to be in pain anymore.

Here you are.

We should go.

His Majesty is waiting.

She went to the rental bookstore with Master Gyeon.

Why did they not take someone from the Office of Investigation?

They said they would be back soon.

They did not want to draw people's attention.

Why are they not back yet?

Is there really nothing between him and the Princess?

Last time, they were found in the same bed--

Stop that nonsense.

Your reckless words may bring bad luck.

But seriously! They are suspicious.

Shut it.

The talk about him becoming her husband is giving me a headache.

I do not care who she is. I will kick her out of our house.

Where did my Gyeon U go?

My apologies, Your Majesty.

It is fine.

I am the one who is giving you trouble.

Please do not say that.

I am not sure if keeping her outside like this is a good idea.

Bring her in and move her marriage forward.

That will be

the only way to protect her.

Hide all these 100 talismans in her bedroom.

Then His Majesty will care less about the Princess.

It will lead him to focus more on you.

This must not turn out to be another failure.

Since the Princess is outside,

this will be the perfect chance.

Sister.

Mother.

Queen.

What are you doing in the Princess' room at this hour?

I missed her, so I thought

visiting her room would make me feel better.

I see.

I guess we shared the same thought.

We came because we missed her too.

Is that right?

It is surprising that we shared the same thought.

I will send you a message as soon as they are back.

Please do not worry.

Father.

My apologies.

It is all my fault.

I will bring you in.

Come back to the palace.

Chief Scholar Gyeon.

Send her in when everything is prepared.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What happened?

I told you already. We were at the rental bookstore--

People from Office of Investigation went to the rental bookstore first.

What is it that you are hiding?

Tell me the truth.

I have...

nothing to say.

How is Her Highness?

She wants to be alone.

The Princess' lover?

I only read it in the jirashi.

The guy's name is Min Yu-hwan. He went missing three years ago

while doing a secret investigation.

He went missing?

Yes, it is because he got caught taking bribes.

He must be still on the wanted list.

What do you know?

What makes you think you can say such a thing?

I will bring you in.

Come back to the palace.

She wandered around late at night?

I forgave her for running away during her probation.

Now, she is getting out of control.

Seeing how Master Gyeon stayed quiet,

there must be a reason.

What is she up to?

I think we better hurry with her marriage.

If she has a husband,

she will have someone to lean on.

Then she will stop causing trouble.

Choosing her husband is not easy either.

They will try to put up someone on their side as her future husband.

The King visited Chief Scholar Gyeon's house today.

The Princess disappeared without a word again.

People from the Office of Investigation searched everywhere.

She must have lost her control after seeing someone she has been waiting for.

Now,

it is time we show them what we prepared.

Where are you going?

Are you going to find him?

I need to meet him.

I do not know when I will be able to come out again.

This may be the last chance to meet him.

-Your Highness. -Let me go, Master Gyeon.

Please.

The Princess will come back

and I shall start looking for her future husband.

There will be a ban on marriage

throughout the nation until she gets married. Prepare for her wedding.

Your Majesty.

You will not need to look for the candidates.

What do you mean?

The Qing Dynasty

has suggested a royal marriage with the Princess.

If Qing and Joseon become allies through a royal marriage,

it would be perfect for us.

He is known to be a competent person trusted by the Emperor.

It will be a great advantage for the nation

if such a man becomes the Princess' husband.

How could you suggest sending our Princess to such a far land?

It is a good way to calm down

people's anger against her.

Minister of Defense.

-That was out of line. -What?

Your Majesty.

Marriage is very important in one's life.

And it is the Princess' marriage.

Please consider this matter carefully.

It is right to be cautious,

but I am worried if she will miss the right timing.

Please

think of the Princess.

I disapprove.

I cannot send her to the Qing.

They seem to have something in mind

seeing how they are trying to rush her wedding with the Qing.

I will never approve this.

They are up to something suspicious.

I am worried.

Why are they after the Princess?

Are you saying you could not change His Majesty's mind?

It was impossible to begin with.

Just

ask him to do the husband selection.

It is not over yet.

It is just the beginning.

He insists on

sending her to the Qing.

Councilor Jeong said he would find a way.

He could just send her

to an island or to the countryside.

It is strange that he is trying to send her to the Qing.

Does he have another intention?

50 SHADES OF THE YOUNG LADY

"50 shades of the young lady."

-What do you say? -Goodness!

What do you take us for?

How dare you recommend that disgusting book to us?

What?

Disgusting?

Even the daughter of Councilor Jeong

borrowed this book in a hurry.

Da-yeon?

Really?

Sure. It must have been so fun to read.

She even paid the late fee.

Da-yeon, that brat pretended she was aloof.

Look.

Goodness.

You are here.

Please come inside.

This way. I'm sorry this place is so shabby...

Come inside.

-Go inside first. -Yes, master.

It is hard to find him without any clue.

Having his portrait may help you find him.

He could be put in danger if the Office of Investigation

finds out he is in the capital because of me.

Se-ho and Gwang-su are trustworthy.

Mr. Hwang as well.

I don't think I can do this.

Then what about the man with the scar?

We can draw his portrait.

Since they went together, looking for that man

could lead us to Master Min.

Please go inside.

We cannot drag time here.

Will they be here again?

If the Office of Investigation comes,

don't tell them that we were here.

Goodness.

It is done.

Who is it?

Just drawing his face scared me.

Let us hurry.

Who is he?

Gyeon U, it is time for your herbal tonics.

Son?

Where did he go again?

Goodness.

He would not have gone to meet the Princess, would he?

I cannot believe this.

Must I guard Gyeon U's house?

The Princess will be returning to the palace.

-It is just for today-- -That

still irritates me.

What?

Lady Da-yeon.

What brings you here?

Are you here

to see Gyeon U?

Should I answer?

As a second lieutenant, I cannot let anyone inside.

Am I

just anyone?

It is not that--

Da-yeon.

What are you doing to my guest?

Let us go in.

Goodness.

Like brother, like sister.

Are you here to greet the Princess?

I heard she returns to the palace tomorrow.

Should we not make up before she leaves here?

What is wrong with you?

Let go of me.

The Office of Investigation must know of this.

-Goodness. -No.

The Princess leaves here tomorrow, so just pretend not to know.

So why did she take my son with her?

Do you think it is only the Princess who will be punished?

Master Gyeon will be punished too.

Are you threatening me now?

It is a favor I am asking you.

You must not tell anyone

that she sneaked out.

-Let go. -Goodness!

Well

It would be great if you would forget what you have just heard.

He was forced to go with her as he is too nice.

If it becomes a big deal...

Do not worry.

Why would I tell others

something that could harm Master Gyeon?

-Thank you. -Mother.

Da-yeon is not like that.

She is too kind

that she came to make up with the Princess

even though she did nothing wrong.

You flatter me. It is nothing.

Drink some tea.

Have you seen this man?

Have you seen this man?

The Princess went outside?

Did you not know?

It seems like she left a while ago.

You should hurry

before you get in trouble.

Have you seen this man?

No.

Whom are you looking for desperately?

Your lover?

No.

Did you fall for me?

Why are you staring at me?

What is wrong?

Have you seen this man?

Yes.

-Put it over there. -Okay.

Are you inside?

Hello, my lord.

I see the pigs have become chubby.

You are here.

Are the meats fresh today?

Yes my lord. They are very fresh.

Welcome.

Are they your company?

What shall I get for you?

We did not come here to buy meat.

Do you know this guy by any chance?

I heard he comes here often.

I am not sure.

Try to remember.

I think I have seen him here a few times.

I do not know.

Take another look at the picture.

I have so many people who come and go.

I am not smart enough

to remember every customer.

It's not the kind of face that you would forget that easily.

Well, he does not know.

Let us just buy some meat and go for a picnic.

I will treat you, so do not be so disappointed.

What will be delicious?

My lord, it is this way.

Let us go.

Look at all these parts of meat. They look delicious.

They are not fresh.

I want to have a closer look.

We will get going then.

By the way,

I hear a strange noise on the floor.

I have beef as well.

Which part should I give you?

Right.

Shall I have some cow liver then?

By the way,

you need to fix the floor.

I guess so.

This part. You need to fix this part.

Goodness.

What are you?

Why are you doing this to me?

Goodness.

Stay still.

Where is he?

Master Min.

What about Min Yu-hwan?

I killed him before leaving.

My apologies.

Hide yourself until I give you a new order.

I am innocent.

My gosh.

-What happened? -I came to buy meat

and the floor made this weird creaking noise.

I had no idea a dead body was under the floor.

This way.

Your Highness, this is my close friend.

He was placed in the Office of Investigation after passing

the recent state exam as the youngest candidate.

I am Gang Jun-yeong, Your Highness.

Do you not know how to smile?

Do not be so serious.

You look like you are taking on all the burden in the world.

She is a poor lady.

She looks bright, but she must be hurting so much inside.

Please take good care of her.

Min Yu-hwan was found dead

in the base where they made the jirashis?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I do not know why they were after him.

Your Majesty,

Second Lieutenant Park is here to see you.

Let him in.

Your Majesty,

the Princess disappeared.

What?

Master Gyeon went out with the Princess

leaving us unnoticed.

Master Gyeon?

Our men were arrested,

and Wol-myeong is on the wanted list.

What shall we do now?

It is nice.

Something is wrong.

Look!

Come help them out!

Apparently, the Princess

has been out with Master Gyeon.

I thought things were getting hard for us,

but the Princess is helping us out.

The wind is blowing in our direction, so we need to set sail.

Prepare thoroughly

so that things go as we planned.

It is all over now.

I thought...

I would be able to meet my mother this time.

You do not have to hold in...

if you want to cry.

Think that I'm not here.

Master Min brought

Mother's jade ring.

He promised me...

he would come back with her no matter what.

There must be a way to find her.

I shall help you from now on.

But

you must go back now.

Your Highness.

If you are reading this now,

I might never be able to see you again.

Three years ago,

I went to get her,

but it was after she disappeared.

WANTED, MIN YU-HWAN

Why is he wanted?

-I do not know. -Maybe he did something wrong.

I tried to hurry back and tell you this,

but I had to run away as I was being framed.

Now,

I know who chased me and framed me.

-Mother. -Take her.

-My baby. -Mother.

-My baby. -Mother.

Mother!

Father, please save Mother.

Mother is...

Go back to your room.

Father.

Your Majesty, please hurry.

We have found evidence for treason.

Father.

Your mother has committed a crime.

Do not look for her anymore.

Father.

What has she done?

What did she do so wrong that she is expelled?

What are you doing?

Take her immediately.

Let go.

Let go.

Let go of me.

Jeong Gi-jun.

Be careful of that man.

Your Highness.

What are you trying to do?

We have no evidence or witnesses.

You cannot do anything only with that letter.

Then what do you suggest me to do?

Just stay quiet pretending not to know?

You must if necessary.

You can win every battle

if you know yourself and the enemy.

It would not be too late

to take action

after finding out what exactly happened to your mother

ten years ago.

Your Majesty.

Dethrone the Princess.

-Dethrone the Princess. -Dethrone the Princess.

Your Majesty,

sneaking out of the palace without permission was not enough,

but she went outside again and cannot be found now.

You cannot be silent about this anymore.

Please dethrone her.

-Please dethrone her. -Please dethrone her.

Your Majesty,

please dethrone her.

-Please dethrone her. -Please dethrone her.

Please dethrone the Princess.

Your Majesty, Second State Councilor Jeong is here to see you.

Let him in.

Please dethrone the Princess.

-Please dethrone her. -Please dethrone her.

Your Majesty,

please dethrone her.

-Please dethrone her. -Please dethrone her.

The Princess is wandering around the Office of State Records?

Did you read the state records?

It was ordered to put in silence for 100 years.

-If you are caught... -I might be killed.

You know well.

Do not attempt to know more.

Forget everything you have found out.

Do not ever hang out with the Princess.

You do not deserve to be the Crown Prince's teacher.

I will dismiss you from your position.

I need to find Mother.

She must have heard something from Min Yu-hwan.

I have his letter that he left behind.

Are you not curious?

The Qing's Prince is coming here to see you.

I am not going anywhere. I cannot.
