OUR BLOOMING YOUTH
THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, INCIDENTS, AND RELIGIONS
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS WERE CREATED WITH PROPS AND VISUAL EFFECTS.
How could you let such a thing happen?
Who was the one who told me to lead the interrogation?
How dare you make me listen to that disgraceful curse
from that filthy shaman?
It was you wasn't it, Lord Cho?
Your Majesty, how could you be swayed by the words of a heinous killer?
They are just the remnants of a band of thieves.
The remnants of a band of thieves?
You arrested Song, the leader of the thieves, 10 years ago
and received merit subject land and slaves.
So how are there thieves still left?
Are you sure you subjugated them?
That's not all.
Everyone here is in on it.
Who are you people?
You were named merit subjects and get monthly paychecks,
so what have you been doing?
Is your country Joseon or your family?
I heard everyone in the Cho family
is working in a government post.
I heard the storage in Bukchon where you live
reeks of rotting meat and fish.
What have you been doing
other than increase your fortune and power?
Tell me what you've done for me
or the Crown Prince or the Grand Prince.
Your Majesty. Of course, we feel terrible as well.
Lord Cho!
Not another word.
I do not want to hear anything from you.
If anyone talks
about what happened today at the interrogation or spread rumors outside the palace,
not only will he be severely punished,
but his family and relatives as well.
We will do as your ordered, Your Majesty.
Bing me Sun-dol.
Pardon?
Bring me Go Sun-dol.
Stop!
How dare you try to hurt my friend and apprentice.
You are so dead.
It's too dangerous.
You can't. There are two of them.
SONG, GA, MYEOL, LEE
I have to go see His Highness.
But he was kicked out.
Did you get hurt?
Are you okay?
Yes, Master.
You must've been afraid.
You must've been lonely.
Yes. I was afraid and lonely.
You must've felt frustrated because you didn't know who to fight.
I can't fight a ghost, can I?
It's not just Crown Prince Hwan they are after.
They are trying to curse the entire royal family
so that they can take over Joseon.
Can I start working in the East Palace again?
I think that's not a good idea.
Even though I said that
I really wish you were here right now.
I'm on my way, Your Highness.
I will stay next to you.
How could the shaman talk
about the Song family of Byeokcheon?
I know.
The fact that the murderer is
a shaman of the Office of Shamanism.
I wonder why Song's ghost possessed her
when he died over 10 years ago.
What happened to the plum tree in the palace?
It was struck by lightning?
Right when the shaman was trying to curse His Majesty.
Didn't it look like a ghost's curse?
Gosh, watch your mouth.
We must establish a directorate
and reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case from 10 years ago.
We must ask His Majesty to reopen the case?
Lord Kim, doesn't the case from 10 years ago bothers you?
His Majesty is keeping the Cho family in check,
so this is our chance.
I'm not sure who did it,
but it's certain that this is a chance to weaken the Cho family's power.
All right.
I think you all want to know what this means,
so gather around.
What this means is that
the Song family will destroy the Lee family.
It means something like that.
Who are the Song family?
It's the Song family of Byeokcheon.
The leader of those thieves.
Then who is the Lee family the Song family is going to destroy?
My gosh.
The King, Crown Prince, Grand Prince, Princess and their relatives
are all in the Lee family.
So the shaman of the Office of Shamanism was possessed by the Song family ghost
and killed all those people to curse the royal family?
And right before I came here, I heard that
the plum tree in the palace caught on fire.
What is plum tree in Chinese characters? "Lee."
The Song family ghost showed an example.
I will burn you all
like this plum tree.
There were rumors about the Crown Prince being cursed.
Is it really true?
Gosh, what is going on in this country?
-Did something happen? -Weren't you with Eunuch Go?
He's already on his way to the palace.
Everything's a mess here.
These papers just fell from the sky.
Here.
SONG, GA, MYEOL, LEE
How could only the plum tree catch on fire
out of all the trees here?
Does a ghost really exist
and did it strike the plum tree on fire
so that I and my family can see?
That's not possible.
A living human being must've done it.
Your Highness, this smell...
It's similar to the smell of gunpowder which was used in Gaeseong
when they trained the soldiers.
It's probably sulfur.
But the fire couldn't have lasted that long with sulfur alone.
I'll go ask the master of Manyeondang tomorrow.
What is going on?
They were the soldiers who guarded the shaman.
They died last night.
Show me their bodies.
I chased after the man who shot the arrow,
but I lost him because the other guys showed up.
How many of them are there?
Who are they getting their orders from?
Have you looked into the peony?
All I heard is that it could be from South East Asia.
I heard that they brush oil
on the dried petals and burn them.
South East Asia...
Your Highness, Section Chief Han is here.
Enter.
There was a clear bite mark from a snake on his neck and shoulder.
I'm thinking it's the same snake that bit
the shaman at the interrogation.
It's strange, isn't it?
And a bloody dagger was found in the prison cell
where the shaman was held.
She must've used it to carve the letters.
I guess there's no way to find out
who gave the dagger and snake to the shaman.
Are you still chasing Oh Man-sik who messed with the prayer?
Yes, Your Highness. He had an older brother who passed away.
His sister-in-law and nephews live in Inchang so he visits there often.
I have one of my men undercover,
so if Oh Man-sik tries to reach out to them,
we'll be able to catch him.
We must catch him.
He may be involved in what happened.
Were you surprised?
He wanted to see the interrogation, so...
He already saw it. There's nothing we can do.
It's not your fault.
How is he?
He's just in shock.
He'll get better with a little rest.
I will brew some medicine to help him calm down.
Thank you.
Mother.
Who are the Song family from Byeokcheon?
Do you know who they are Ha-yeon?
You must get some rest.
-When you get better, I'll... -I want to know now.
Is the Song family even alive?
Or have they become a ghost?
Not knowing is scarier.
Do you know, Court Lady Han?
Ten years ago,
a band of thieves rose up in rebellion in Byeokcheon.
Song was the leader of the thieves.
How could a mere thief become a ghost
and curse the royal family?
What happened to him?
Lord Cho, who was the Minister of Defense back then,
went to Byeokcheon himself and subjugated the thieves
-And Song also... -That's enough.
Yes, Your Highness.
Did grandfather subjugate them?
Mother, since grandfather subjugated them,
he'll also stop Song's ghost, right?
I am Song and I came back because innocent people in Byeokcheon
were killed wrongly.
I may have become a ghost,
but my soul sits upon the throne.
The Song family will destroy the Lee family
and become the king!
You filthy thief!
He's still alive. How tenacious.
He slaughtered and kidnapped the nobles,
women, and children. What else is there to say?
I can't believe the soldiers and the shaman
were all bitten by a gloydius saxatilis.
Read it.
It's Sim Yeong's second autopsy report.
The coroner checked the number of wounds
and if any of the wounds contributed to his death,
but he was clean aside from the bruise on his neck.
The bruise was blackish red, his eyes were closed
and his mouth was open.
If someone killed him beforehand and made it seem like a suicide,
these symptoms cannot appear.
It was definitely a suicide
and the suicide note was in his handwriting.
Since the students at the Confucian school testified,
it was definitely a suicide. They said he kept searching your house
for something after your family passed away.
Is there anything you can think of?
What is this...
Sim Yeong left these behind.
The suicide note and the jade bracelet were on the floor.
Keep them safe.
But I'm not sure how to explain this.
Yeong's hair was white?
No, that's wrong. It changed out of the blue.
Yeong didn't have black hair when I left Gaeseong.
Do you remember?
The shaman also had white hair.
What is going on?
The shaman used to come to Gaeseong to pray.
First the peony petals,
then the white hair...
And the gloydius saxatilis that killed the messenger and hurt me.
It must be the doing of the same person.
And another thing.
The ghost's letter.
The shaman knew about the ghost's letter.
Do you think
the remaining thieves of Byeokcheon are behind everything?
Is anyone there?
Hurry up.
Is anyone there?
Let me down.
Won-bo.
Take a look at this.
There really were
some thieves left after all.
What do we do?
That shaman was also part of the thieves.
When she was cursing the king,
wasn't it as if Song had
return from Byeokcheon?
Gosh, he's going to come back as a ghost
to slice my throat
with a sickle, Won-bo.
Our family isn't the one
Song is cursing, isn't it?
Pardon?
Oh.
Right.
You're right, Won-bo.
He cursed the Lee family,
not the Cho family.
I can't believe I missed that.
But
why is he cursing the royal family
instead of you and me.
Isn't it only natural to curse the person
-who killed him? -What?
But you were the one who...
Without the King's orders, how could I have gone
to Byeocheon to subjugate him?
Right. The King's orders.
He was the one who ordered us
to hang that horrible man alive.
We're fine.
Everything
was His Majesty's will.
The Lee family. Yes.
So whether it's a ghost or not, what does it have to do with our family?
Right.
Anyway,
His Majesty just disgraced our family.
What do you think will happen?
Well, do you have any other plans in mind?
Of course I do.
A crisis is an opportunity.
I'm worried His Majesty
might reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case.
It won't happen.
I'll make sure of it.
I'm actually more afraid of the thieves than His Majesty.
If there are thieves, I will find them
and stop the reinvestigation from happening
so don't worry about anything. Understood?
Yes, Won-bo.
Gosh, Won-bo. Damn you, Lees.
What am I supposed to do with this?
Dictation.
What is that?
You will write what I say on the ground.
-With this stick? -Yes.
Go ahead. I will write it down.
You are a rude lady.
"A rude lady."
You are an awful lady.
You are a ridiculous woman
who counts her chicken
before they hatch.
I am a man who has an ideal woman.
How could you be so cold-hearted
like an icicle on the North Pole
and just say whatever you want before leaving?
Is this for the Minister of Personnel's daughter?
I can still see those arrogant back of yours
which makes me so angry
and my head is about to burst.
The Minister of Personnel's daughter? I don't care.
A lady who only has a pretty face? I care even less.
Myeong-jin doesn't wait for someone like you.
Myeong-jin is a loser.
Someone warm and kind.
Someone who will appreciate what I'm worth.
Someone who has beautiful
and special eyes.
Myeong-jin is crazy.
I hate you, so go away.
Go far away!
Did you get all that?
I haven't learned properly, so I couldn't write it down.
Why weren't you able to say anything in front of her when you're so good at it?
Good question.
Why do you think I wasn't able to?
Because you were afraid your mother might smack you with a pestle?
My gosh, you are such a wise apprentice.
How did you know that?
But Master, your emotions were good.
I mean, you seemed a little crazy,
but you said everything you should've.
It makes me feel refreshed like I drank a cup of iced water.
Since the marriage is off anyway, if you run into her
tell her everything you just said now.
Try me.
If I run into that icicle lady again,
I will humiliate her good.
Will you be able to do that?
Of course.
My apprentice, write this down.
Yes, Master. Just start talking.
Myeong-jin is brave.
He is indeed a great man.
Myeong-jin is brave.
He is indeed a great man.
Well, look at you.
You really learned all the letters?
Yes, Master.
If you tell me to memorize something, I memorize it.
-You is your master? -You are.
Who's your apprentice?
Of course, it's you.
Oh, hello.
Eunuch Go.
I came by to ask you something.
Come on in.
Lightning struck and the plum tree caught on fire.
And it smelled like sulfur.
But there's no way a fire will last that long with just sulfur alone.
If it's mixed with something and brushed on the tree,
it could be possible.
What if it was mixed with niter?
What's a niter?
It's used to make gunpowder.
And one more thing. Maybe beeswax?
Isn't beeswax used to make valuable candles?
If those three things were mixed
and if someone lit the tree on fire when the lighting hit
it could've fooled people into thinking that it was the actual lightning.
Wow. You're good, Myeong-jin.
But
who could get those three ingredients?
I should return to the palace.
I should get going too.
It may be His Highness' orders, but nothing's free in the world.
His Highness wants everything handed to him on a silver platter.
Gosh.
So would you like me to go to the palace
and tell him that?
Well...
No, of course not.
My master likes to talk to himself
so that's what he was doing.
Myeong-jin does that out of habit sometimes.
Well, it's almost lunchtime...
I'll buy lunch in His Highness' stead.
Oh, I'm very grateful.
I prepared something in advance because I knew you were
-such a generous person. -Prepared what?
Master Kim!
Come on in.
I hope I came at the right time.
Perfect timing.
I knew you were going to treat us, so I ordered beforehand.
Gosh.
-Thank you, Scholar Park. -Thank you.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
It's delicious.
I thought I won't be able to have any lunch today.
Does His Highness not give you anything to eat?
Of course, not.
The royal kitchen is overflowing with food,
but I'm just a mere eunuch of the East Palace
who only gets this much salary.
If I miss lunchtime, no one will get me lunch.
And His Highness makes me run so many errands.
Go here, go there.
Do this, do that.
After I run all his errands,
sometimes I find myself drinking a bowl of water for dinner.
But he never once asked me
if I had dinner.
-What did I tell you? -Gosh.
What do you think, Scholar Park?
Everyone looks up to him calling him "Your Highness,"
so how could he know what the lowly people are going through?
I think His Highness has a lot of problems.
Have a drink.
Here. Let's all have a drink.
He has a lot of problems.
His Highness is traveling in disguise?
Manyeondang...
For the time being, put everything aside
and follow Go Sun-dol.
Find out where he goes, what he does,
and who he meets.
Do not miss him for a second.
Do you understand?
Yes, My Lord.
Beeswax is quite valuable,
but you can buy it at the market pretty easily.
He could get niter from the Weapons Bureau.
But what about the sulfur?
We'll find out once we question the merchants.
I'll try to find out
who bought the three items around the same time.
How long will it take?
I'll figure it out in five days.
Be careful. Do not get hurt.
Yes, Your Highness.
You'll need it.
You lost three nyangs, didn't you?
I will be rooting for the War Department today.
I bet three nyangs on your team.
Right.
When I heard you were playing,
I bet on the Crown Prince's guards.
I am very quick on my feet.
Then...
But I'll take this
since refusing would be rude.
I like money.
You came such a long way.
I should give you some allowance for your travel, my nephew.
This is about showing the power of our family.
Of course I'll travel as far as I have to.
What did you say?
The Confucian scholars did what?
Your Majesty, we're here to give you a piece of advice.
Long ago, thunder and lightning
were considered omens of the sky.
Please see to the revelation
and try to understand what the sky wants
and stop the disaster.
The lightning bolt that struck the plum tree
is obviously the sky punishing us.
So we are begging you to respond to the will of the Heaven
and fulfill the late King's duties.
Long ago, a benevolent king...
Seongju Magistrate Cho Du-won.
Yangju Magistrate Cho Won-young.
Jeolla Commander in Chief Kim Hyeong-woon.
Half of them are from the Cho family
and the other half are the in-laws or cousins of the Cho family.
They're all related!
All this came
from that great Cho family.
Fine.
How shall I repent my sins
for my virtue to reach the sky?
Lightning bolts are a sign that
God is angry at us.
His anger has reached the plum tree in the palace,
so of course there's a reason why it happened.
-How strange. -Watch your mouth.
During the reign of the late king,
sometimes there were thunder and lightning without reason.
And even if God is angry at us,
how could you blame His Majesty?
This country is overflowing with corrupt officials who don't know shame.
If God is punishing this country,
he must be punishing them.
Your Majesty.
Please show compassion for the people who are trembling in fear
after the terrible disaster.
Please show compassion for the people.
By doing gamseon...
GAMSEON: REDUCING THE NUMBER OF SIDE DISHES
Why you...
Please show self-restraint in front of God,
Your Majesty.
Gamseon...
Lord Cho! What you're doing is blasphemous.
How dare a subject ask His Majesty
to do gamseon!
Your Majesty, this is nonsense.
Do not listen to them.
If I do gamseon...
If I do that,
will I be able to repent for my lack of discretion
and calm those people outside?
-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty
Your Majesty.
Gamseon?
And it was Uncle who made the suggestion?
Yes, Your Highness.
They are so vulgar, aren't they?
It's not new that they're trying to control His Majesty
by using the power of their family.
His Majesty will accept the gamseon in the end.
No one can beat them.
It's good. It has a clean taste.
His Majesty wasn't the only one
who has been enjoying the delicacies.
Understood?
-Bottoms up. -Cheers.
Gosh, you truly are amazing.
We were almost fired after what happened at Byeokcheon,
but you are the one who turned that into an opportunity to
strengthen our power.
Won-bo.
I will always look up to you.
Not this one?
I will always trust you.
You give it to him.
He's eating it.
Won-bo.
Tell Cho Won-bo that
I have repented
after eating this meal with five side dishes.
The power His Majesty is wielding
was given by me and my family.
I was just letting him know that he should never forget it,
so please don't worry, Your Highness.
I heard he overturned the royal table in rage.
The royal table shows what is going on
in the eight providences.
He shouldn't be ignoring the efforts of his people.
I'm sure His Majesty learned his lesson.
You must not mess with the Cho family.
It would be best
if you keep that in mind, Your Majesty.
Excuse me.
Where's the Weapons Bureau?
-Turn right at the corner. -Thank you.
I'm here under the orders of the Crown Prince.
Did anyone take niter from here recently?
Wait here.
You're sure it's him?
Yes.
I'll take this ledger to His Highness.
Why would he?
Thanks to you,
my mother's back pain has gotten better.
My mother wants to treat you to a meal, so please come visit us.
I'm afraid your mother's back pain might come back,
so please tell her she doesn't have to cook for me.
Thank you.
Any other suggestions?
Eunuch Go.
What brings you here?
Nothing. It's nothing.
It can't be nothing.
Are you under His Highness' orders?
No.
I left the palace for personal reasons and saw you while I was passing by.
Yes. I was passing by.
Take care, Section Chief Han.
His Highness will be so heartbroken
when he sees this ledger.
Did you look into who bought sulfur?
We went to every apothecary to find who outbought the sulfur.
Did you ask around the marketplace?
It's in progress.
There are a lot of merchants who sell beeswax in Hanyang.
But if we find someone who bought sulfur and niter,
we won't have to ask around anymore.
Isn't that right?
He was a big spender. He paid me good money
and took all the beeswax I had.
May I take this ledger?
But which department are you from?
Oh, I had no idea you were here under His Highness' orders.
By all means, take it.
-Goodbye then. -Bye.
Gosh.
Oh no. It's a mess.
Are you okay? I'm sorry. I had a lot on my mind.
You should watch where you're going.
It will take forever
to tack these up again.
Forget it. You can just go.
I'm sorry.
When will I stack all this?
Gosh.
Who did you say?
The one who bought beeswax, niter and sulfur at the same time is...
It's true.
I got the ledger from all three places.
Let me see. I must check for myself.
Beeswax, niter, and sulfur.
So it wasn't the lightning bolt that set the plum tree on fire.
It was him?
What are the soldiers doing here?
Do not leave a single person out.
Mother.
Mother.
What do you think you're doing?
I am under His Majesty's orders.
His Majesty's orders?
Do you even know who I am?
Sinner Han Jung-eon. Come on out and receive His Majesty's orders.
-Father. -His Majesty has ordered that Han Jung-eon
is to be taken to the Royal Inspector's Office
for mocking and insulting the royal family.
What are you doing? Arrest him.
Yes, sir.
Mocking and insulting the royal family?
Explain what's going on right now!
Get out of the way.
Stop!
I'll explain.
Your Highness, what are you...
What brings you here?
Nothing. It's nothing.
Was he spying on me?
You want to know why your father is under arrest?
As you know, when the shaman talked about the curse,
the plum tree in the palace was
struck by lightning
as if the curse was coming true.
Plum tree is "Lee" in Chinese characters,
so it shows that the shaman's curse is
the will of God.
But that wasn't the truth.
The burning plum tree wasn't
God's doing, but a human's.
He used niter and sulfer
to blow up the tree as if it was stuck by lightning
and coated it with beeswax so the fire won't go out.
It burned for so long that it was strange.
Don't you think that's very creative,
Lord Han?
I heard a servant of yours bought
beeswax as per your orders.
Is that true?
No, Your Highness. It was under my orders.
I needed the beeswax for something else. My father has nothing to do with this.
But I heard Lord Han was the one who took niter from the Weapons Bureau.
Yes, Your Highness.
And you also went to the apothecary
to buy sulfur.
Yes, Your Highness.
You bought niter and sulfur which are used to make gunpowder
for personal reasons?
Surprisingly, everything you bought
was used
in an incident
that threatened and curse the royal family.
What do you think, Lord Han?
No one would do that unless they plan to commit treason against the royal family.
-My Lady. -My Lady.
No, Father.
How can you even say that word?
There is no greater sin than treason.
Treason is never accepted by heaven and earth
and is never forgiven by the descendants.
The one who leads the treason will be executed
and this family will either become slaves
or be exiled.
It's only right that his whole family is wiped out.
You must know that
that is the law, Section Chief Han.
Your Highness, please give me time to reinvestigate.
I will prove my father's innocence.
Is His Majesty's orders different from what I said?
No, Your Highness.
Stop.
Open the shed.
Pardon? Why?
I will show you that Lord Han
and Section Chief Han is innocent.
What an outstanding candle made of high-quality beeswax.
You needed the beeswax to make these candles
and a wedding is a village feast.
I guess you were planning to throw a big party for your son.
Fire pouches for the firework festival.
That's where the sulfur was used.
Then there's only one thing left.
Lord Han, where's the niter?
Special Capital Magistrate Min
asked me to get niter
to repair the roof tiles.
He was very fond of the pavilion his ancestors used to cherish,
so he used to take good care of it
when the roof was damaged due to heavy rain.
That's why he needed the niter.
I was going to send it with Seong-on
when he was supposed to visit Special Capital Magistrate Min.
But due to his death,
it never found its owner.
Did you hear all that?
Does this prove their innocence?
Yes, Your Highness.
Now tell me.
Who
sent you?
Your Majesty, I sent the soldiers of the Royal Inspector's Office
as per your orders to Lord Han's house.
You must punish them according to the law.
Tell the person who sent you what you saw today.
I will let His Majesty know that Lord Han is innocent.
Yes, Your Highness.
Let's go.
Your Highness.
I thought you didn't trust me anymore.
A wise young man once told me, "Mu-shin-bul-lip."
Without trust, we cannot stand.
If you must abandon something,
the first thing you should abandon
is the soldiers, then the food,
but trust is something you must never let go of.
I'll be able to protect the country that way.
Protecting my country and protecting my people are no different.
Is it Go Sun-dol
who said that?
He also said "Bul-sil-gi-chin."
A great future King
should never lose those close to him.
If I didn't want to lose you,
I had to trust you.
You must've contemplated a lot
about why we would've needed
niter, beeswax, and sulfur
to believe me and my family.
There was a ledger for sure.
When did this get swapped?
Gosh. Oh no. It's a mess.
I ran into a merchant on my way out.
He must've swapped the ledgers.
Someone was following me.
Who do you think took it?
Lord Han's enemy and the King's father-in-law, Cho Won-bo.
If he really was the one who swapped the ledgers,
he must know what they mean.
And if he knows what they mean, he must've already taken measures.
He's not the one to miss an opportunity.
And he never hesitates when there is prey in front of him.
-Lord Han and Seong-on are in danger. -Then you believe that
Lord Han is innocent?
If Lord Han and Section Chief Han are innocent,
they must've needed
beeswax, niter and sulfur for something else.
I wonder why they needed all that at the same time.
Your Highness, if you open the shed...
We'll be able to know
why they needed them.
-But what if when we open the shed... -And we don't find what we're looking for?
It will be the same as ending his political career
and his family will be destroyed.
Then Cho Won-bo and his family
would have gotten rid of their enemy and have more power than ever.
Your Highness.
Do you really not trust them enough
to open the shed?
Just like you said before,
if I didn't get that ghost's letter...
Your best friend will stab you in the back...
When I became the Crown Prince, I decided to let go of all my friendships.
If I didn't get that ghost's letter...
I would've opened that shed
with the trust
of my old friend Seong-on.
I will open that shed.
I will trust
Lord Han and Seong-on.
Will you
be my friend again?
Your Highness.
There wasn't a single moment
when I wasn't your friend.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I can't stop crying.
It's a miracle.
Two people meeting, trusting and depending on each other.
Yes.
That is a miracle.
I'm planning to make that miracle every day.
I will have a friend, I will trust in that friend
and I will protect him.
SPECIAL THANKS TO YOON SEOK-HYUN
OUR BLOOMING YOUTH
Will you be my friend too?
His Highness, the future king,
is someone who can't even keep his private and public life separate.
Using the misfortune of the royal family...
-Why are you looking at me like that? -Bring him to me alive.
I will do as your ordered, Your Majesty.
All the cases are pointing to Byeokcheon.
Enter.
The Crown Prince can't be involved in political affairs.
I hear you're from Byeokcheon.
