Original subtitles

You...

Do you recognize me?

Prince Eunseong.

Ghost Mask is the younger brother of Prince Chuseong.

I thought you died ten years ago.

You survived like a rat.

You are the rat, not me.

That was quite a scene

when you ran away, framing an innocent person.

It was nice meeting you in a while.

Goodbye.

What are you waiting for?

Kill everyone!

Drop your sword if you wish to live.

Do you...

Do you really think you can kill me?

Move aside.

I will kill

anyone who blocks my way.

I said to step aside!

Is that why you killed them?

Whom are you talking about?

Prince Chuseong?

Min Yu-hwan? The Queen?

Yes, I killed them. I killed them all.

So what are you going to do?

Even the King himself cannot stop me!

Says who?

What?

How...

Stop.

Drop your sword, Jeong Gi-jun.

It is over, Councilor Jeong.

-I said to drop it. -Stop now.

Stop what?

What did I do so wrong?

I did it for the sake of this country.

To protect this country

which my father's father's father built with great effort.

To set it this nation,

which you are ruining by

trying to care for those ignorant peasants, right.

I sacrificed myself

and volunteered to be the evil.

Did you say those ignorant peasants?

They make up this country.

Not me nor you. They make up Joseon Dynasty.

Everyone here makes up Joseon.

Sure.

This is why we can never

be on the same side.

Your Highness.

-Move. -Let go.

Lieutenant Gang.

-Move. -Let go.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Councilor Jeong confessed everything and died.

It is all thanks to Master Gyeon.

Master Gyeon?

What do you mean you will be a bait?

I will wear a Ghost Mask and make him confess.

-It is too dangerous. -That is why I am volunteering.

I want to pay for

what I did to the King and the Princess.

I want to clear my father and friends' names.

If it were not for him,

we would have been fooled by Councilor Jeong's tricks again.

Where is he now?

He's probably with the King.

You are more handsome than him.

You are beautiful.

Jeong Gi-jun, Park Sun-jae, and Hwang Gu-sun

slandered Prince Chuseong and Lady Han.

They made the jirashis to denounce the Royal Family

and faked the voice of the subjects.

They committed countless evil deeds.

Thus, the sinners will be deprived from their positions

and put to death.

Also, all their family members will be demoted

from their status to slaves.

They will also be deprived

and be exiled to a remote area far away from the capital.

The weather is so nice.

Hey, I am back!

-Hello. -Look.

Look. What do you think about this drawing?

It looks beautiful.

It is such a nice day for a new start.

Those who needed to leave left, and those who needed to stay stayed.

-You went through a lot. -You too.

Let us display the books.

We need to sort them out in colors.

-This one is famous, so... -Se-ho.

Se-ho.

Mal-geum.

Goodness.

Mal-geum. I missed you so much.

You smell so nice.

How are you feeling?

I feel much better now.

Thank you.

Thank you for being alive.

Thank you

for helping us punish Jeong Gi-jun.

I thank you for everything...

and I am sorry.

It was something that I had to do.

I will discuss you and your brother's reinstatement soon.

Thank you, your majesty.

Now,

my brother will finally be in peace.

You want me to go volunteer?

You have not visited there for a while.

It is your promise with the subjects, so you should keep it.

We will accompany you.

Shall we?

What took you so long?

Yeong-sin, come and put these in.

What are you doing?

Mother.

Hyemyeong.

Mother.

Are you...

really my mother?

I am sorry.

I am sorry...

Mother.

It still feels like a dream to me.

Where have you been all these years?

Prince Eunseong helped me.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Where are you? Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Prince Eunseong.

My brother asked me to help you.

Your Highness, you need to hurry.

Let us go back now.

Mother.

Keep this with you.

I will not return to the palace.

I do not belong there.

Why do you say so?

The Prince...

Do you not miss him?

It is too late...

to show myself and tell him I am his mother.

That will only hurt and confuse him more.

Mother...

What do you mean?

I do not know

what you are saying now.

-Hyemyeong. -No.

No, Mother.

Please come with me.

Please take good care of the Prince.

Mother.

The Princess met her mother?

She does not wish to come back.

She must have been hurt a lot.

She is being

considerate for her son.

Your Highness, something bad happened.

The Prince went to central palace.

Prince.

Hyemyeong.

Where is Mother?

Did you not say she was ill?

Did you not say

it was why she could not see me?

Is she staying outside the palace?

Where is Mother? Tell me, Hyemyeong.

I thought about it

over and over last night.

I think

I understand how you feel at least vaguely.

Thank you.

Can I...

visit you from time to time like this?

He seemed very nice.

Master Gyeon, you know.

-Your Highness. -Do not call me like that.

The Princess misses you a lot.

She thinks I am dead anyway.

It will be better for her if I stay dead.

It all started from my mistake.

Blame me

and do not forsake the Princess.

He seems to care a lot for you.

I decided not to dwell on the past.

So I hope

you do not suffer because of the incident anymore.

I will leave for Jeonju.

It will be uncomfortable for the King and the Princess

if I continue to stay at the capital.

I will order them to prepare for your move.

I am sorry, Father.

Gyeon U, can I talk to you for a second?

Sure, come in.

Is something the matter?

Are you okay?

What?

I mean,

if you leave for Jeonju,

you might not be able to see the Princess again.

I wonder if you will be all right.

Cheer up.

It is the dried persimmons I took from you last time.

Why did you not eat it?

I am okay. You enjoy it.

Eating sweets is best when you feel down.

Thank you.

Cheer up, Gyeon U.

Dried persimmon helps you fall asleep easily.

Do not forget to eat it before you go to sleep.

So I hope

you do not suffer because of the incident anymore.

Master Gyeon.

Lieutenant Gang.

Are you here to see the Princess?

No,

I just came by for one last time.

What do you mean?

I'm leaving for Jeonju tomorrow.

Please take good care of her.

You should see her in person...

How could I dare see her?

It will be too hard for her

to see me.

-Mater Gyeon. -Please

take good care of her.

I will get going now.

So you are leaving.

Are you not coming back to the capital at all?

You guys can visit me in Jeonju.

It is just that I feel bad that we will not be able to see

each other as often as before.

Me too.

Goodness.

Master Gyeon.

Please do not leave.

-Do not go. -Do not leave.

Master Gyeon.

Thank you.

-What? -Never mind if you did not hear it.

I am getting drunk. I am drunk...

How could I dare see her?

It will be too hard for her to see me.

Are you inside?

Yes.

It feels strange, right?

Yes.

I did not know my room was so big.

What is the matter, Lieutenant Gang?

I have thought long and hard about

if I should tell you this

or not.

Lieutenant Gang.

When my mother passed away,

you said this to me.

You need to keep smiling for happy occasions to come.

I want to bring you back your smile.

But

I don't think...

it is something I can do.

Master Gyeon is leaving for Jeonju today.

Get off already!

-Stop it! -Get off!

You are a slow runner.

Do you think this is funny?

Let go!

Let me go!

Now, explain to me.

Can you just pretend that

you haven't seen me just this once?

Just once.

Please, Master Gyeon.

Master Gyeon is leaving for Jeonju today.

I found it on my way here.

Are you here to see me?

I just happened to pass by.

I know you came to see me with flowers.

Why are you staring at me?

Because you are so lovely.

Do not go.

Do not go, Master Gyeon.

Your Highness.

I have not forgiven you yet.

I hate you.

I resent you.

But...

I need you.

I am not happy...

without you.

Stop right there.

Oh, no.

What is going on?

What is wrong?

-Arrest him. -Yes, sir.

Make way.

You sinner.

He deserves punishment.

-Goodness. -He deserves it.

What is the matter?

Someone just stole something from me.

Where was he headed? I shall run after him immediately.

It is you.

You stole

my heart

just now.

-You look so beautiful. -Gosh.

-You look amazing. -Do not say that.

It is deer antlers.

I thought it would be great for your son.

You did not have to prepare this.

My son is taking the state exam this time.

No, thanks. My son is healthy.

This is the latest edition imported from Japan.

I bought this for you thinking it would look great on you.

Oh, dear.

My goodness.

I do not have any other intentions. Please take it.

I feel uncomfortable whenever I receive gifts.

If you do not like this, shall I prepare something else?

It is not a big deal that my son is becoming the Princess' husband.

Why are you doing this?

It is making me so uncomfortable.

What is wrong with all of you?

If he becomes her husband, he can never be an official.

You are right.

They say

the Princess has the most influence in Joseon.

They say

the Prince cares dearly for his sister.

But it is not like she would grant a position if I ask.

She is not someone who would do that.

I hope you are not mistaken from what I said earlier.

I never thought the Princess' husband is nothing.

It is nothing indeed. He will be only her husband.

He cannot become an official.

My gosh.

When will the wedding be by the way?

I guess it will be soon.

"The ruler must act like a ruler.

The child must act like a child."

"The ruler must act like a ruler.

The child must act like a child."

This is the teaching of Confucius in ruling over a country.

I hope you become a right king

and lead a country to be where

the subjects, parents, and children

behave accordingly.

Yes, master.

By the way, are you going somewhere?

You're saying it like it is your last advice.

Today will be your last lesson from me.

Are you going somewhere far away again?

Will I not be able to see you again?

That is not the case.

We will see each other often.

Do you not smell something burning?

See, my heart is burning.

Will you marry me?

It is so cool.

-It is amazing. -Right.

Do you want me to propose like that?

No, I do not think that will work.

Then how about this?

If you drink this it means you will marry me.

Was I not so cool just now?

No?

How about this?

Do I want to marry you?

-Gosh, seriously. -Why? What?

-Is it really necessary? -Of course.

You have no idea how women feel.

How you put it is the most important part in a proposal.

You have to choose the right words to impress her.

He does not know anything.

Actually, how you put it does not really matter.

Even if it is not something cool,

even if it does not make sense,

it is fine as long as it is sincere.

-That is it. -She is right.

-I guess I was not sincere. -Mal-geum, good.

That was cool.

Master Gyeon.

I'm not going to walk you

to your residence from now on.

Why? Is something wrong?

-Yes. -What is it?

I feel so bad

whenever I have to say goodbye like now.

I want to

wake up with you,

eat with you,

and laugh with you.

I want to live with you.

Will you

marry me?

Sorry.

Pardon?

I am sorry,

but I cannot take this right now.

Your Highness.

You want to become a physician?

I have seen a lot of ill subjects while volunteering.

I wondered how I could help them

and treat their illness.

I came to a conclusion that just volunteering was not the answer.

I do not intend to stop your dream.

-We will get married first-- -I plan to go to Qing.

I heard they have more various ways to treat patients.

I can learn about the Western medical practices as well.

Your Highness, there is no need to--

I really want to do this.

You understand, right?

I was wondering how to tell you this anyway.

I feel much better now.

Goodness. Stop laughing.

This is so frustrating for me. Is it that funny?

You proposed and got rejected.

Of course, it is funny.

She never lets us down.

That is so cool of her.

This is driving me crazy. It is not like I can stop her from going.

If you cannot stop her,

-you should let her go. -Whose side are you...

Goodness.

Look at those stars.

They look so pretty, right?

Well... Why are you all outside?

We are talking a walk.

At this hour?

How did it go?

What do you mean?

You proposed to her today.

Did it go well? Shall we set the date?

Gosh, no. I did not.

What do you mean you did not? We saw you buy the rings.

Why? Did she reject your proposal?

Not at all.

You went to propose and came back drunk.

-Gosh, he got dumped. -That is not it.

Mother, Father,

I am too tired. I will go in first.

No way. That will not be the case.

Is it right to let her go?

It is not right. What about me if she goes?

Master Doggy.

What should I do?

Do not lay your eyes on others.

Master Gyeon.

Promise me that you will never lay your eyes on others.

What are you saying so randomly?

I am saying

not to lay your eyes on other guys in Qing.

Focus only on your studies and come back.

I will wait for you.

Thank you very much.

Are you not going to promise me?

Yes, I promise.

How can I like another guy when my boyfriend is so handsome?

You will go to the Qing to study medical techniques?

I wish to help sick subjects.

I understand your point,

but I cannot send you off to somewhere far away like Qing.

I will train competent people to help the subjects instead.

I want to do it, Father.

You cannot do it yourself.

You need to get married soon.

Must I get married and raise children

just because I am a woman?

I do not want to live like that.

Right.

You should not give up on your dream just because you are a woman.

Mother.

Gosh, it is so heavy.

I have a very picky taste.

I am not sure if the food would suit me.

-What is that smile? -Nothing.

Can you speak in their language? I cannot.

Did you just swear at me?

It means "Have you eaten?"

I know you made it up since I do not understand their language.

-No. -Whatever.

-Gosh, just focus on packing. -Okay.

What are all these?

This book will help you the most in learning their language.

This map lists famous restaurants around the area.

-Restaurants? -When I studied abroad there,

I enjoyed going to these restaurants.

I marked the location,

so it would be easy for you to find them.

Thank you for your concern.

The most important thing is left.

This... Can I have it?

I have mine as well.

I took the original drawing and made a copy.

Look at it whenever you miss me.

Make it obvious that you are taken.

Be healthy and safe.

ONE YEAR LATER

There are many interesting treatments here.

They also have unfamiliar medicinal herbs that do not exist in Joseon.

I plan to talk to Father and import some of them.

There are many guys who like me thanks to my beautiful looks.

But I am focusing only on my studies, so do not worry.

Oh, right. There is also sad news.

I gained weight recently

because the dumpling restaurant you recommended is so delicious.

So Yeong-sin keeps teasing me.

This is all your fault.

I hope you are doing all right.

I will go back as a great physician soon. Wait for me.

I miss you.

I miss you too,

Your Highness.

Master Gyeon!

Master Gyeon!

I am hearing things now.

Master Gyeon!

Your Highness.

Master Gyeon.

Let us

get married!

Master Gyeon.

Gosh.

You must have eaten a lot of dumplings.

You became heavy.

We met after a long time, and is that what you have to say?

You are dead meat. Come over here.

-Gosh, Your Highness. -Stop right there.

-Goodness, calm down. -You...

Do not be like this again.

You did not miss me, did you?

I missed you.

What are you waiting for?

Gosh, come on!

Me too.
