All language subtitles for Flower Crew Joseon Marriage Agency E08

Gaettong.

Go.

I said go.

Go! Go, you jerk!

Why are you here?

Why did you show up now?

You must have been doing well.

How could you never get in touch?

How could you not
write me a single letter?

Go.

Go, you jerk!

Hit me harder.

This won't do. Hit me more.

Did you really try to

abandon me and run away?

Then did something come up?

Some relatives I had never met
suddenly showed up.

They told me

I was an aristocrat.

That's a relief.

Gaettong.

I knew my Su would never abandon me.

I was sure something had come up.

And I was worried
something bad had happened to you.

Do you know how worried I was?

I'm relieved

that you're fine.

I'm so relieved.

I'm sorry, Gaettong.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll find a way

to come back to you.

When everything settles down,

let's get married again

like we promised.

Go inside.

Okay.

Bye.

Mr. Matchmaker.

Why are you back here?

The queen selection process will begin
soon, and you'll get married.

She is finally pulling herself together.

Do not sway her any further.

I'm not trying to sway her.

I'm trying to hold on to her.

For what?

I'll keep her by my side.

-Your Majesty.
-I did consider giving up on her.

I ended up as the King,
although I didn't wish to.

If I kept her by my side,

she'd become unhappy.
So I tried to tell myself

I should let her go.

But I can't.

No matter how difficult it may be,

I want to be with her.

I must take this path
however impossible it may seem.

My love for her

will never change.

Stop coming back, okay? It's getting cold.

I won't change my mind.

I'll be back again tomorrow.

So please,

help me.

I finally found Su,
the one I've been longing for.

Shouldn't I be happier right now?

You finally found Su,
but you don't look so happy.

Has my Su left?

What did you two talk about?

Doesn't he look amazing in that robe?

He was glowing.

That was an expensive robe he was wearing.

It would've been a waste if he didn't.

Well...

With Su back,

what will happen now?

What do you mean?

Now that you found Su,

you'll go back
once you find your brother too.

Go back to where?

Where else?

Where you belong.

I'll forget about you becoming
a noble lady. Go to bed now.

There is a problem.

I keep thinking

this is where I belong.

What? "My Su"?

After I fed, dressed, and taught her,

how could she
wag her tail and say, "my Su"?

I shouldn't have taken her in,
to begin with.

I'm not trying to sway her.

I'm trying to hold on to her.

For what?

I'll keep her by my side.

Your Majesty.

Must you take that difficult path?

It doesn't belong to you.

So

handle it with care.

How dare you?

Did you ask around?

Yes.

Lady Yun Su-yeon from the tea ceremony
turns out to be

the daughter of Lord Yun Dong-seok,
the former superintendent.

-However...
-However?

She is said to have fallen ill
and gone on pijeop with her father

a few years ago.

That was the last anyone heard of her.

PIJEOP: RESTING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

I think that's about all the information
we can get.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Don't put it like you earned it.

I can't believe how you say one thing

and go back on it the moment after.

Do you not see this?

You clearly said to me

you were giving me another chance.

I did promise you a chance,

but that didn't mean
I'd turn you into a noble lady.

I have no reason to do so,

nor do you have the capability
to become one.

That's the second chance I need.

Why?

Because your beloved Su came back?

You thought your husband ran away,
then he came back wearing a fancy robe.

Did that change your mind?

-It's not like that--
-Then what?

You said you'd always live as Gaettong
to find your brother.

Why did you change your mind?

That's because...

Now that you found Su,

you'll go back
once you find your brother too.

Why are you so sure

I can't do it?

Just because I was born like this,

can't I

even dream of becoming
something like that?

Even people's hearts
belong to different classes.

Did you not know?

Big Sis!

Big Sis!

Do you know what this is?

It's called sugabu,
and it was imported from Russia.

Su means exquisite, ga means
beautiful, and bu means silk.

An exquisitely beautiful piece of silk.

What do you think?
Don't I look so stylish?

Anyhow,

I will not give up.

What's with her these days?

Did you two fight?

She keeps pestering me

for something that she should not covet.

Both are incredibly stubborn.

They are like two peas in a pod.

If Three Months doesn't listen to you,
just fire her.

This arrived in Mapo Port earlier today.

It is the only white porcelain jar
of its kind in Joseon.

I saw that porcelain jar
at a different store just now.

And it's cheaper there.

Gosh, what are you talking about?

I'll take two yang off for you.

I'd like to buy this.

And I will pay the full price.

My gosh, sure.

Then I'll go get some wrapping materials.

Why pay more on purpose?

A product's value is decided
by the person who prices it.

Look how flawless it is.

Isn't this beautiful?

Such a noble being

since birth.

You are full of thorns
and are about to burst into tears.

To my eyes,
that's more beautiful than this.

No! My porcelain jars!

Run.

Gosh, my jars!

Eunuch Jang, what is the matter?

The fish porridge I had for breakfast

seems to have gone bad.

-I apologize, Your Majesty.
-I'll attend the jocham by myself,

so go relieve yourself first.

I apologize, Your Majesty.

JOCHAM: A QUARTER-MONTHLY MEETING
ATTENDED BY ALL OFFICIALS

Do you think these pieces of paper

can help me understand His Majesty?

I am sorry, Your Majesty.

Only two officers have the character
"ho" for "fox" in their names.

And one of them was off that day.

The one who was on duty that morning

was Yun Seong-ho.

Why are you drawing a circle
around those squiggly letters?

You don't need to know.

I may not know anything else,

but I sure know the character for "fox."

What do you think?

I can write those squiggly letters too.

SLAVE

Go get ready to greet the guest.

Is there anything you need?

No pay, hard labor. Just put me to use.

But please reconsider making me
a noble lady in return.

Big Sis, everything is ready.

And he calls me stubborn?

Please begin.

That's Lord Kim of Namsangol.

His wife passed away three years ago.

I do not think it is right
for him as a man

to consider getting remarried

only three years after
his wife passed away.

This one divorced his wife
a little while ago.

He is the son of the former
Minister of Personnel.

Instead of having a title of his own,

he seems to be relying
on his father's position,

which tells me that he is incompetent.

This is the last one.

Doesn't this seem familiar?

Can we eat something before we go on?

This isn't going to work.

If you tell us the type of man you want,

we will try to find someone.

I just want

an ordinary man.

Thank you for trying.

Gosh, she is quite picky.

Does this run in the family?

We can't really say she is picky.

She is asking for someone flawless,

as if she is looking for someone
who doesn't exist.

Come on, why would she do that?

Maybe she just finds it difficult.

It was tough to get another chance,
so she doesn't want to ruin it.

Hey, Three Months.

People say, "Practice makes far-fetched."

You aren't so bad.

You mean, "perfect"?

What should I do now?

No pay, hard labor. Just put me to use.

That won't work on me.

Just ask me to do whatever you need.

Hey. Where are you going?

Have I been left behind again?

Something is definitely going on
between them.

Your Majesty, these are petitions
from all over the country

asking you to name Lady Im
as a virtuous woman.

This is how everyone feels.

Do not put this off any longer

and please erect a gate on her behalf

to honor her fidelity.

What Her Highness said is only fair.

Please grant your permission,
Your Majesty.

-Please grant your permission.
-Please grant your permission.

You're working as a matchmaker?

You, Gaettong?

I sure am.

He can get quite cranky,

but the job pays three times more
than the Public Clinic.

It includes room and board, it pays a lot,

and I'm paid upfront too.

What do you do?

Recently, a woman who will soon be named
as a virtuous woman came by.

The King is supposed to give her a gate
as a prize or something.

His Majesty is so odd.

She has already suffered enough.

And her prize is living alone
for the rest of her life?

That's not a prize. That's torture.

After all, he has such beautiful women

anywhere within his reach.

He would never understand.

He knows.

How do you know how the King feels?

What?

Oh, I just thought he might.

I apologize.

I just remembered

something interesting.

Your Majesty,

please do not give your permission.

My nephew's wife is definitely
good-natured and respectful,

all deserving to become a virtuous woman.

But I am worried

this will make you question my loyalty.

Please do not grant your permission.

Now that Councilor Ma has said that,

who is going to go against him?

That is absurd.

How can I be suspicious of anyone
for recognizing a good deed?

I should, of course,

grant my permission.

However,

I wish to congratulate her myself

on such an honorable affair.

Your Majesty.

My niece-in-law
is from a mere aristocrat's family.

It is inappropriate for a mere woman

to be granted an audience with the King.

What could be inappropriate

about recognizing a good deed?

If you are so worried,
I will see her in your company.

Come to the palace in three days.

You have

my royal permission.

-Thank you for your generosity.
-Thank you for your generosity.

I can't believe
you still haven't found her!

A mere woman does not have
so many places to hide.

I apologize.

She may abandon everything else,
but not her child.

She will try to get in touch
with Hwa-jeong at any cost,

so keep your eyes on her.

Yes, my Lord.

Go ahead and take it off.

What... What are you doing?

I have to wash that, so take it off.

You wore that yesterday too.

Forget it. Get out.

Come on. Hurry up.

-You can't!
-I can!

Help me become a noble lady. I need to.

Why do you keep saying no?

I want to be with her.

I must take this path
however impossible it may seem.

No matter what you say,
it just can't happen,

just as we can't make the sky fall apart.

Will the sky have to fall apart
for me to become a noble lady?

Do you

even have any idea where he lives?

It's The King Has Ass's Ears
all over again.

Fine,

I'll just do it myself.

I'll rip the sky apart.

My Lady.

Can you give me a hand?

Are you all right?

Yes, I am all right.

I have a question.

How can I become
such an elegant lady like you?

Hold yourself back.

"Hold myself back"?

Hold yourself back
even if you get pricked by a needle

a hundred times a day
while embroidering things.

Hold yourself back
even if your back is killing you

or your mother-in-law blames you
for your husband's death.

Even if you see a man that you might like,

you hold back by all means.

How do you hold back
from all those things?

When you think you can't hold back
anymore, drink that.

It is very strong. One sip of it

takes a load off your mind.

Now I can see

why you didn't want to become

a virtuous woman.

This is how tea should taste.

Do you think
that will make you a noble lady?

Why can't I become one?

Would you like to see
my tea-preparing skills?

Gaettong, you...

This is alcohol.

Do you get hiccups?

Startle me.

Hiccups go away when you're startled...

Do you want to stop your hiccups?

Then promise me
that you'll me a noble lady.

Gaettong, you...

Promise me.

-You...
-Three Months, are you there?

Gosh.

Why? Why are we hiding?

Yeong-su keeps bossing me around.

We're doing the Bakseokgol lady's
damjang today, remember?

See?

DAMJANG: LIGHT MAKEUP
THAT BRIGHTENS UP THE SKIN

That's strange.

She said she'd be in here.

Is anyone here?

Three Months, don't you dare

pull a prank on me.

I must be imagining things, I'm sure.

Of course, it's just my imagination.

You...

What did you just do?

It was to stop your hiccups.

You asked me to startle you.

And I couldn't think of any other way.

Still...

Your hiccups stopped anyway.

This wouldn't have happened

if you just promised me

that you'd turn me into a noble lady.

Is she just reckless

or is she heartless?

What the hell did you do, lip?

I'll find a way

to come back to you.

When everything settles down,

let's get married again

like we promised.

Su.

I'm supposed to marry you.

If I feel

kind of happy now,

that's weird, right?

Yes.

That would make me a bad person.

There you are.

Were you hiding because
you didn't want to do errands for me?

Mr. Matchmaker,

what is this scent?

Something smells lovely.

Right?

It's a perfumed sachet Big Sis got me.

By the way,

why is your face so red?

I tend

to have a lot of heat in my body.

Good job.

Even if it is to help His Majesty,

this is...

You may leave.

Still...

Leave!

What is all this?

Portraits of officials?

While we thought
he was spending time with women,

we were giving him time to study--

These are the police officers
who were on duty that day.

Thank you.

Let me know if there is anything else
I can do for you.

I don't know about anything else,
but when it comes to luring women,

you have my admiration.

I'm not sure.

I don't always succeed.

Which of you is Yun Seong-ho?

That's me.

Roll up your sleeves for me, will you?

Sure.

The rest of you too.

You may leave now.

There was blood
under Kkultteoksoe's fingernails.

He must have gotten it
while trying to defend himself.

Therefore, the culprit
should have scars from it.

But here is the question.

Who can freely walk in and out of
the Police Bureau

and get the case closed this easily?

We must find out who got killed

in order to find out
who killed that person.

Find out if anyone who holds
the junior third rank or above

or anyone in the royal family
died recently.

If it even made Councilor Kang
take action,

it must be someone very important.

All right.

What's gotten into you though?

You volunteered to help me
even though I never asked you to.

It's full of mysteries,
so it's piquing my curiosity.

Leave it to me.
I will satisfy your curiosity soon.

Then I'll

just step out again
to work on Jeong-suk's case.

Why aren't you asking again?

I'm sure you need my help.

Your answer will be the same
even if I ask you again.

Am I wrong?

That woman refused
the virtuous woman title and ran away.

What does she look like?

Does she come across as heartless enough

to abandon her own child?

Come and find out for yourself.

Do find a nice man for her.

She wanted that so badly
that she ruined her child's bright future.

Don't jump to your own conclusions.

We all have a story to tell.

A woman who abandoned her own child

can never justify what she did.

-Young Master.
-Young Master Jun!

Let go.

Your mother abandoned all her children

and ran away to go live with another man.

She utterly destroyed our family.

Let go. I said, let go!

Why are you doing this to me?

I said I will take
the civil service examination.

Men can be forgiven for their infidelity.

However, women's infidelity is
documented and criticized

for generations.

How will you take the civil service exam?

Father.

You won't be able to do anything.

Forget obtaining a position in government
or even getting married.

This is all your mother's fault.

If you need someone to resent, resent her.

Burn everything.

-Yes, my Lord.
-Yes, my Lord.

This is about a woman's marriage,

which will make or break her life.

I just need you to check
whether he visits this kisaeng parlor.

Well, I told you that I don't know.

That man...

He visits this kisaeng parlor
once every three days.

He always looks for a kisaeng
named Mae-hwa.

Last night,
they even spent the night together.

He even promised to make her
his concubine.

Is that enough information?

Where did you get that information?

I just heard it through the grapevine.

It's nothing more than useless gossip.

To me, it is useful.

Would you sell your information to me?

It'd be even better
if I could buy you as well.

Is something

bothering you?

One of our clients

is waiting for her fiancé
who is far away at the moment.

But apparently,

she can't stop thinking about a man,

who is all prickly toward her

but is always there for her
at the same time.

She said that she keeps on forgetting
about her fiancé who is far away.

Ma'am.

Don't you think it's absolutely horrible?

It is, indeed.

Right?

Her heart is telling her the answer,

yet she refuses to listen.

What a foolish lady.

Please tell her

she will be heartbroken later on,
just like I was.

You think so?

MA

What is this?

It is my gift for you.

-You didn't have to...
-It is too small for me.

I think you should wear it.

I'm not sure if I can accept
something like this.

In return,

I'd like you to do me a small favor.

I heard Lord Yun Dong-seok is
in Hanyang at the moment.

He has been wandering around
the mountains and valleys.

He is in Hanyang now?

My daughter must be worried.

Could you please deliver
that letter to her?

How could you steal
from someone who is asleep?

-Darn it.
-Run!

Those punks.

Look, wake up. Mister!

An egg thief will steal an ox later on
because of your inattentiveness.

Gosh, I was fast asleep.

Oh, boy. What's with all this noise?

I saved you.

What? It's you again?

Goodness, I don't need this.

Mister.

If you keep losing things like this,

you'll end up losing
what is truly dear to you later on.

Once you lose something,
it is very hard to retrieve it.

So keep this someplace safe.

On top of the wall
at the back of the annex.

It is where we used to leave
each other letters for fun.

You can leave the letter there.

You're right.

That looks pretty good.

-Come on.
-Right?

Try it.

Gosh. Take one.

All right.

-My gosh.
-Are you done?

Goodness, be patient.

Here you go.

Oh, my. What are you talking about?

FLOWER CREW

That darned accident.

Stay focused, will you?

You're the one
who brought all of these burdens.

"Burdens"?

There's Three Months,
whom you said you'd keep for three months.

And that lady who is picky
because it runs in the family.

We need to find someone for them
and let them go.

Right?

I should find someone and let her go.

What else?

You don't want to
keep them here for life, do you?

Yeong-su.

If I continue to think about an accident,

why would that be?

Did you get into an accident?

I mean,

if you keep thinking about an accident,

it might be some kind of a warning.

A "warning"?

A warning that it's an accident-prone spot
and you should avoid it.

That's why you keep thinking about it.

An accident-prone spot.

Not Councilor Kang, not the widows' town,

but she went to Hun's?

Yes. I couldn't check her face
because it was covered

by her long hood.

But the long hood was definitely

embroidered with a peony blossom,
the Ma family's emblem.

It looks like she asked him
to find her another husband.

Are you saying
she tried to get married again,

knowing that it will ruin our family?

What do you want me to do?

I don't care where she is.

You will make sure

to bring Hwa-jeong's mother
in front of me tonight.

Yes, my Lord.

The Gate of Three Honors is
just an excuse.

We all know that his ultimate goal is

the queen selection process.

I can't believe
we have to let him have his way.

Goodness.

This is all because

the Crown Prince was killed.

He was attacked by some bandits?

Does that make any sense to you?

Be quiet.

That hasn't been publicly announced yet.

Pour me another one.

My Lord, I'll bring more liquor.

Yes, go ahead.

That'd be great.

The Crown Prince?

The only ones who died recently are
the Crown Prince and the late King.

His Majesty passed away in his palace,

but the Crown Prince
passed away outside of the palace.

Which one do you think it is?

And he was allegedly attacked
by some bandits.

Doesn't it all fit together?

The Crown Prince.

How dare anyone attack the Crown Prince?

That's what makes this more interesting.

What more should I find out?

That's all I need today.

Then you should go.

I have a lot to do too.

Is he at the kisaeng parlor or something?

Why isn't he coming back?

Where were you?

Rock Head,
I don't know what to do with you.

MA

-Gaettong!
-No!

SLAVE

I may not know anything else,

but I sure know the character for "fox."

SLAVE

You are...

Where in the world were you?

I've been worried sick about you.

What is this?

I was afraid someone held a grudge
against me.

This is exactly why
your niece-in-law ran away.

Darn it.

Who did you bring back?

Bring the right one immediately.

Search all you want,

but you won't be able to find her.

Why you little wench.

Do not lay a hand on her!

Do not lay a finger on this lady.

When you should be helping your family,

all you ever do is get in its way.

How do you call yourself my son?

You are the one
who is meddling with my business.

If you ever

lay a hand on my people,

I will not just sit around doing nothing.

Let's go.

"My people"?

Why are you sulky this time?

Do you think I'm a nuisance?

After coming to my rescue like that--

Just what were you thinking?

You almost got hurt!

Why are you getting angry at me?

It's not like you're the one who got hurt.

If you keep thinking about an accident,

it might be some kind of a warning.

A "warning"?

A warning that it's an accident-prone spot
and you should avoid it.

With Su back,

what will happen now?

What do you mean?

Now that you found Su,

you'll go back
once you find your brother too.

Go back to where?

Don't get hurt.

Pardon?

If you get hurt,

who would do all the delayed work?

We're short-handed as it is.

Why does he have to be so mean?

Don't you worry. I'll never get hurt!

I'm a high-wage worker, after all.

Wait for me!

Do not lay a hand on her!

Do not lay a finger on this lady.

I'd never seen that girl before.

-Hyeon.
-Yes.

-Find out who that girl is.
-I will.

Also, find Hwa-jeong's mother
by all means.

We have only three days left now.

-Understood?
-Yes, my Lord.

Poison? Who did you buy this from?

There's this one guy
who ran away recently. Must be him.

-His name is Kkultteoksoe.
-Kkultteoksoe?

The only ones who died recently are
the Crown Prince and the late King.

And he was allegedly attacked
by some bandits.

Doesn't it all fit together?

Someone with enough power to cover up

even the assassination
of the Crown Prince.

The fox police officer...

It was not "fox."

The character means "slave."

Hyeon, my father's henchman.

We must find out who got killed

in order to find out
who killed that person.

Who benefited the most

from the Crown Prince's death?

It is my father.

My father is at the center
of all these incidents.

My father was not after
just an ordinary girl.

He was trying to kill

the King's fiancée, Gaettong.

What brings you here

at such a late hour?

Your Majesty.

Do you still wish
to proceed with the marriage?

Yes.

By doing this, you will deceive
everyone in Joseon.

If anything goes wrong,
no one can be safe.

Do you still intend to do this?

Yes.

Fine.

In that case,

let me take care of this marriage.

I'll make sure you can return to Kim Su.

Are you sending Gaettong
to the palace too?

They will groom you into a noble lady
within the next 15 days.

Councilor Kang's daughter is here.

Is marrying the King that important?

All you do is collect information
at kisaeng parlors.

What would you even know?

We only have two days left
to bring her to the palace.

Don't do anything.

You don't want to lose Gaettong as well,
do you?

Just quit if you're going to keep this up!

But I'm giving you a warning too.
For being so stubborn!

A matchmaker should never

let his personal emotions
affect the client's marriage.
