THE FOLLOWING FICTIONAL DRAMA IS BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS

Is this what you want?

Let go of my hand before you regret it.

Regrets are for humans.

Ghosts don't have regrets.

What's this?

What happened?

What's wrong?

EPISODE 6

Filthy, promiscuous jerk.

I was right, you can't be him.

You can't be.

What are you doing?

Dad.

You never wanted to learn sword fighting.

What made you change your mind?

I now realize I need the skills.

Please teach me.

Go easy on me.

Did something happen today?

Nothing happened. Nothing.

Why do you look like him?

Of all men, why do you look like him?

Who...

are you?

Why are you growing on me?

Why do you make my heart race?

Why are you still up?

I should not have done that.

I don't know what to do with this feeling.

How long have you been here?

Long enough to hear you repeat the same thing 17 times in your sleep.

What did I say?

"It can't be.

I was right.

I was right.

I was right."

How did you know?

What do you mean?

That you're gonna get smacked.

Why don't you listen to me?

Mom.

You should get married instead of wandering around at night.

I can't stand it anymore. Pack your things.

I need to see the Queen and talk about the marriage proposal.

-I can't. -I can't either.

-I mean it. -Oh, I mean it too.

Then, give me four... Three... No, two days.

I need to make up my mind before dating or marrying someone.

Please, Mom. Give me two days.

There is something I must take care of.

It's not possible, Your Majesty.

The South is suffering from floods.

But the Yeoju and Gyeonggi-do areas have suffered from years of drought.

Every province has their own problems.

We cannot give one special treatment.

He's right, Your Majesty.

If we dispatch a special task force to the South,

my ministry will end up spending the entire budget.

Don't you care if the South is flooded

considering you have property in the Gyeonggi-do Province?

Minister Seong.

You're turning a blind eye to the victims.

Your reputation will be ruined.

Nobody here ever lets me do what I think needs to be done.

Can't you be more creative than opposing for opposition's sake?

I beg your mercy.

All they do is go against my orders.

They are always at each other's throats

except when they have to say, "I beg your mercy."

I don't think this is a good time to discuss the offerings.

How did it go with the thieves?

Speaking of which, I have something we must discuss.

I'll meet with you in an hour.

Is anybody here?

Hey, ghost!

What? Wasn't yesterday enough?

It wasn't. I need to know more about you.

Am I that charming?

Enough for a noble lady...

to shamelessly flirt with me?

You're right. You're charming.

You're handsome, have a sweet voice, and beautiful eyes.

Just like the Prince.

You must be him, right?

Did you get injured? Is that the reason you can't remember?

Nonsense.

If you're not him, prove it.

Do whatever it takes to prove me wrong.

I think you should try harder.

Figure out what you have to do...

to get an answer from a man.

Go learn what others do.

Is this the best you can do to win my heart?

Why did you want to meet me here?

When I first saw the drawing of the thief,

he didn't appear to be a stranger.

I have never seen him before.

But why does he look familiar?

Then I realized his face is...

similar to the late King's.

If my assumption is correct...

that would explain the hide-and-seek he's been playing.

It can't...

It can't be.

He's dead, right?

We saw the corpse.

His face was severely injured.

Of course, because he was stabbed and pushed off a cliff.

No one could have survived.

If he's still alive...

we'll be dead.

If he's alive...

we can kill him again.

How many are there?

Quite a lot.

I'm guessing around 30.

Other ports, including Mapo and Yanghwajin,

are under scrutiny.

Fortunately, they aren't openly conducting the searches.

I thought the soldiers would be here.

The King is suddenly acting strange.

He has sent aid to the flood victims in the Southern provinces.

Why has the King suddenly become so generous?

Any idea why?

Perhaps he wants to play the role of a good king.

Welcome, sir.

Don't be shy. You have to be upfront.

I have a mistress, but she doesn't seem to know how...

to dress properly. So I want to give her some advice.

Oh, how sweet you are.

All right.

I used to mix mung bean powder with red bean powder,

and put it on my face.

But it made my face look pale. It looked unnatural.

You're right.

Add a little safflower powder.

It'll give you a rosy complexion. Look at my face now.

Safflower powder.

Don't forget this skirt.

I've never met a man who doesn't like this.

Even noble ladies wear this.

Take a look at my hair.

It's curled hair.

It's quite in fashion.

Can I touch it?

Sure you can.

Touch mine, too.

I see.

What are these?

What's up?

What's up?

What up?

What up?

What up, Mr. Lee?

Since when did I become Mr. Lee?

Well, please come here and take a seat.

I thought you were busy.

Why are you out here again?

How can you say that to me?

I'm here to work.

At a Gisaeng parlor?

Your drawing is fabulous.

Are you drawing Chinese roses?

Okay, then...

This is a wash drawing.

WASH DRAWING (SUMIE): A DRAWING PAINTED WITH BLACK INK

But they're roses.

It's not that...

You said it's a wash drawing.

You said it's a Chinese rose.

Since the King sent rice to the Southern provinces,

we can focus on the other areas.

He sent aid to the flood victims in the Southern provinces.

The areas that need our help the most are Yeonwha, Hoyeon, and Jeongseon.

There are 100 houses in total.

There are so many.

Do we have enough shells?

We can't leave only rice.

We should leave these shells too.

Then people will think,

"Oh, the shell guys came to us. Thank God."

The people we helped will be a great help when Yeok...

takes the throne.

Isn't that so, Yeok?

Be a good king.

A good king?

If you become a good king...

you can stand proudly at the late King's tomb.

The late Prince will be...

proud of you.

That's why you want to become a good king?

Open the storage house. My men brought rice.

Nak-cheon, we should get going.

Okay, right.

Do you think I'm pretty enough now?

Wait.

Have you been drinking?

It wasn't a drink. It's medicine.

Medicine that cures skin rash.

What do you want?

I want you to come with me.

Do it here.

Still not tempting?

Hey, are you going out? In broad daylight?

If you hang out with her, you'll get caught by the King.

I heard she is close to him.

She is determined. She always gets what she wants.

I can't get rid of her with just words.

-Do you need to take drastic action? -What are you going to do?

I'll listen to her first.

And...

There's only one way to get rid of a woman.

Annoy her.

Okay.

Do whatever you want.

Today I'll be...

yours completely.

Why are we hiding?

What are you doing?

Something good.

Hey.

You look better now.

Be careful when unpacking the stolen goods.

Im Sa-hong probably bribed most of the vendors.

In ten days, my people will leave for China with the delegates.

The stolen goods will be sold there.

Where's Nak-cheon?

Kwang-oh, do you want to make a bet?

-Who will move this rice faster. -I'll win.

I'll bet one piece of silver.

-I'll bet two pieces of silver. -Wait.

If you want to help me, just keep away from here.

You're right.

Hey, move faster!

Try to remember. You'll soon remember it.

Do you remember this place?

You, me, and Seo Noh promised to become friends...

sitting down right here like this.

Do you remember?

We sat here in a line and promised each other, hands raised.

Come on.

I hereby swear that I'll be a sincere and faithful friend

with nothing to be ashamed of.

You immediately said yes after I suggested becoming friends.

Because you kept whining and were stubborn.

There's another place I want to take you to.

What about this place?

You crossed the river while carrying me on your back.

You lied and said that I was heavy.

So I slapped your back.

It was my head.

You can marry me.

But you should know it won't be an arranged marriage.

I'll marry you because I like you.

This is where I got...

a proposal from him.

He said he wanted to live together... happily like best friends.

-What are you doing? -Not here.

What the heck are you doing?

Are you wearing that as a pendant?

I gave you a ring.

I made a promise on the ring.

See.

Are you're happy now?

Must I be the Prince...

in order to see you?

Must I be the Prince...

in order to see you?

I deeply appreciate what you said

during the last meeting.

I was impressed with your opinions on the budget plans.

Speaking of which,

I decided to give you a token of my gratitude.

Our King drew these for you.

He hardly slept at night.

I want to set up a relief agency with the sales from these drawings.

So I'd like you to take my drawings and pay me good money for them.

Your Majesty, how do we dare put a price on your drawings?

Yes, he's right. How--

It's an order!

I just hope that...

you pay me well for the drawings.

I beg your mercy, Your Majesty.

Please, take a look.

I'll take this one, Your Majesty.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.

-Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty. -Thank you.

Deputy Chief Park.

My apologies, that already belongs to someone.

Is the drawing special to you?

Special...

I'll give it to someone as a gift.

Yes, Your Majesty.

It's been a while, Queen Mother.

You must be busy since the King has also been busy lately.

It's welcoming news that the King is trying something new to help his people.

But...

why do all the officials...

look so depressed?

They are also his people.

I hope our King keeps that in mind.

As long as...

they keep in mind that they serve the King and that they're his people...

the King won't forget that they're his people.

Is that so?

I'm more than happy that you serve our King.

Where are you going?

It's my turn.

It would only be fair to go where I want to go as well.

It would be fair to at least walk at my pace.

You said it's a wash drawing.

You said it's a Chinese rose.

Is the painting special to you?

I'll give it to someone as a gift.

I heard he was attacked by a gang while he was in exile.

Is that right?

PRINCE JINSEONG RESTS HERE

It was all thanks to you.

Of all the noble ladies, I had a really nice time today...

with Jwauijeong's daughter.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid he'd rise from the dead and hurt you?

As you have seen, we have shared our hearts.

Not only that, we shared our warmth...

and our breath.

The dead man is probably wondering...

if you really believe that I am Prince Jinsoeng?

Or are you trying to flirt...

as an excuse to seduce me?

How dare you!

Don't you think...

you should've ignored him for his sake?

Don't you think so?

He may have been your first love and your fiancé...

but are you his?

How do you know he misses you?

Listen carefully.

My name is Nak-cheon.

I have a woman too.

If you really care about the Prince,

don't insult him by chasing after...

other men.

Don't you feel sorry for him?

The Prince who liked you is gone.

He's dead.

My name is Nak-cheon.

I have a woman too.

If you really care about the Prince,

don't insult him by chasing after...

other men.

Yeok, you're soaked.

-You may catch a cold. -That would be bad.

Rest well, Yeok.

You're late.

Yes.

What happened?

With?

Suk-hee told me everything.

What do you want to know?

That lady...

came here, right?

What will you do?

-Nak-cheon. -I was angry.

She got close to my brother...

of all men, when I was going through living hell!

I wanted to torture her.

So...

you spent the whole day with her.

And...

you kissed her.

How sweet your revenge is.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

It's not a big deal.

But I want to be rid of her.

Chae-kyung.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I don't know what I have done.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I don't know how this can be.

Get up. Your clothes are getting wet.

Chae-kyung.

Chae-kyung.

Brother, it's me. We have to go now.

-Hey, there! -We must leave. Brother.

Brother.

We have to run.

Stop!

Jump.

-Chae-kyung. -Prince!

-Chae-kyung. -Prince.

Chae-kyung.

Tell me what happened.

Why were you wet...

what were you saying?

I saw a person who looks just like the Prince.

Yeok?

Who was it?

He said his name was Nak-cheon.

The other day at the inn...

you must have seen him briefly.

What's wrong...

my wife?

So you ran out of the room...

after him?

He had his eyes, his voice

even his gestures were similar.

I was mistaken.

I wanted to prove that he is the Prince.

Then...

were you crying because you found out he wasn't Yeok?

I don't...

know how to stop crying.

Was it because of his harsh words, or...

was I shocked that he wasn't the Prince?

Or did I--

I must have gone crazy.

I was completely out of my mind.

I don't know...

if I have any right to cry like this.

I feel terribly sorry for him.

I feel so sorry for him, Your Majesty.

You lost him?

Did you just say you lost him?

I'm sorry.

But don't worry.

Now that I know he's in Hanyang, I'll catch him no matter what.

You don't have to catch him.

Kill him when you find him.

You'll be saved only when you kill him.

I got it.

Nak-cheon.

What happened?

Why are you being so reckless?

Was she worth chasing after?

You're out of your mind.

Do you want to be killed?

Do you want everyone to know who you are?

If you can't cut her off...

I will.

Don't forget how far we've come...

to get here.

I saw a person who looks just like the Prince.

Who are you?

It's too easy if I really died.

You'll live with pain that is far worse than death.

Your Majesty, are you all right?

Wait.

Queen.

Queen Mother.

What brings you here?

I wanted to get some fresh air and ended up here.

Are you on your way to give the King his medicine?

Yes.

I think he got caught in the rain when he left the palace.

The rain...

has just stopped and the air is still cold.

Don't stay out for too long.

You should get going now.

I received a message from Myung-hye that you might be here.

Do you know how startled I was?

I'm sorry...

to make you worry.

Why are you so reckless?

You must wait for a better time.

You lost your son...

while waiting for a better time.

I will...

do it my own way.

I realized hiding or running away...

isn't my way of doing things.

I've missed you.

Yeok.

My son.

Mother.

Wait for me.

I will soon be by your side.

What do you think?

Doesn't he look like him?

Who are you talking about?

Prince Jinseong.

What was his name?

Nak-cheon.

Yes, it was Nak-cheon.

I was told he has met Chae-kyung.

SEUNGMYUNGPAE: TOKEN OF KING'S ORDER

If necessary, use the palace soldiers and officers

as many as you need.

I'll find him and kill him immediately.

No.

Bring him to me.

I want...

to see him for myself.

How did he get to meet this man already?

We need to hurry.

He may have given you the token,

but if you call on the soldiers, Queen Jasun will find out.

Wouldn't that complicate things?

Let's take advantage of Chae-kyung.

The King told us that she already met him.

She must still have feelings for him.

She will walk right into our trap.

Your Highness,

I know you are disappointed.

So I came here to beg for your forgiveness.

Please don't be too angry at me.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry for confusing you with someone else.

I lost my mind...

because I've missed you so much.

I'll tell you again.

Don't get caught or reveal yourself.

We're not trying to be heroes.

We want to inspire hope.

Let them know that God didn't abandon them.

Let them know that the shell guys are always here for them. That's all.

We'll keep that in mind.

I'm coming with you.

Hey. You can't.

Should I hide behind you forever?

Are you ready?

Yes.

Let's go.

Don't take your eyes off Shin Soo-geun's daughter.

-What are you waiting for? -It's...

Hey. Are you afraid of heights? Jump.

Get her! We should go after her.

Have you forgotten you could get into trouble?

You...

Have you forgotten you could get into trouble?

I heard...

she is your friend.

Friend?

Do you even know what I went through because of her?

She meddles in everything I do.

I told her to keep away from me many times.

But she didn't listen and got me into trouble.

Prince.

I told you to mind your own business!

I told you not to come around anymore.

I did this alone.

It's my fault.

Please punish me.

What are we running away from?

Some people are chasing us.

Have we done something wrong?

Even though we didn't do anything, we might be killed.

What are we running away from?

Have we done something wrong?

-Even though we didn't do anything-- -We might be killed?

It's you.

It's you.

Why did you lie to me? Why did you tell me it's not you?

I know it's you.

I know it's you.

Didn't you miss me?

If we're together, we'll keep getting into trouble.

Did she get caught while helping him escape?

The King is calling you to the palace.

Tell me what you know about him.

I know nothing.

The Prince should show up, and this will all be over.

It could be a trap set to hurt him.

Why are you trying this hard just to catch him?

Forget about my promise to wait for you.

Come here if you wish. I will welcome you wholeheartedly.
