All language subtitles for [English] My Dearest episode 11-resync

This drama is imaginative, based on historical facts. Most of
the details and characters' emotional portrayals are fictional.

Have you lost your mind?

There's a better shortcut,

but why are we going this
way, full of bandits?

Why? Just why?

Hyungnim, just forget about
that Gil Chae or japchae woman.

Look at me! I'm totally fine.

Is Jong Jong the only woman in this world?

She is just one of the many Jong Jongs!

However,

my body and mind

all belong to you,

but does any of yours belong to me?

That would be...

Here?

This.

Here.

And, lastly,

here.

(My Dearest)

(Episode 11)

Bring it here.

- I almost starved to death.
- Young Lady...

I mean, Madam.

You can take your leave now.

Jong Jong, you leave, too.

What a brash bride.

That was supposed to be my...

I will become a good wife.

Please trust me.

Wife.

What are you thinking so deeply about?

Is Lee Jang Hyeon still not here?

Crown Prince, there are
tons of work to be done,

but why is there a delay?

Hurry up and summon Lee Jang Hyeon,

the one who is familiar with the work.

He says to hurry up and
summon Lee Jang Hyeon.

Jang Hyeon stayed behind in Joseon
to bring high-quality papers.

But I have not heard from him.

I am also waiting for Interpreter Lee.

The skin of otters, musk
shrews, and geldings,

otters' gallbladders, swords, honey,
and other integuments and seeds.

If you go now, when will I see you again?

I will make sure to come back to
Joseon and fulfill my duties as a son.

Yes.

By the way, I heard Yong Gol Dae
offered you a Grand Red Dragon Coat.

It is because they are too primitive
and foolish to know better.

I told them no one can wear dragon embroidery
on their clothes but you, Your Majesty.

And how did they reply to that?

They seemed to understand.

To my surprise, they like to see Joseon's
subjects showing solid loyalty and

women protecting their chastity.

They seemed to think Qing should
also learn such things in the future.

They liked it?

I heard they also liked it when
you provided military provisions

by using mixed grains as well.

Because they were rushing us, I told them we could
meet the deadline if we mixed in other grains.

And we were able to get along.

It was different from when I was in Joseon,
listening to news delivered to me at the palace.

From experiencing them firsthand, it was
not like we could not get along at all.

Therefore, I-

Crown Prince, do you think I am blinded
and deafened from sitting at the palace?

Qing's emperor sent me a secret letter.

He criticized me because the court
officials sent their adopted sons

instead of biological sons as hostages.

But you say you can get along with them?

If so, what have you been doing in
Shenyang until matters worsened this much?

Five loads of dried chestnut powder,
three rolls of red silk fabric,

paper-

Your Highness, Interpreter
Lee Jang Hyeon is here!

Your Highness, please accept my greetings.

Have you been well, Your Highness?

Why took you so long?

Just as I thought.

Where else would that bastard go?

Did something happen in Joseon?

This time, you look like you
lost a woman you long for.

What a sly snake we have here.

Yes, I lost her.

This time...

I lost her for good.

I also lost...

my family jewels, forever and ever.

But still, life carries on

even without it.

Things you cannot live without?

Such things do not exist.

Life carries on one way or the other,

just like that.

What a sight you are.

I knew you'd get burnt by a woman one day.

I'm sure it was nice seducing young
ladies with your unmarried talk.

This is why your karma from relationships

cannot be evaded even if you

hide in the deepest mountains.

Just stay in bed since
you had passed out drunk.

It's better for you!

Ryang Eum's gone, too. So
let's quit that business, too.

Geez.

We need to go.

Huh?

Let's go.

Gosh, my goodness!

Aigoo.

Ryang Eum is not even here. Must
we do this crap again by ourselves?

Talking about Ryang Eum again?

Do you miss Ryang Eum that much?

Did I say I miss him?

You can try sending him a word, then.

Tell him you miss him to death.

I said I don't!

Are you following me around?

Sounds like it's a woman.

No way!

Are you actually the one following me?

Let us see who catches more.

P-Please save me!

Run! Run.

Get them!

Get up. Get up now.

Let's go, let's go-

Stick together.

Hyungnim!

Hyungnim...

You are not catching and selling
prisoners of war, are you?

Please look the other way regarding today.

I request of you.

Aigoo, Hyungnim.

Hyungnim, Hyungnim!

Eat up.

Hurry up and eat.

What happened?

Just how did you-

It's nothing. Eat up. Eat all you want.

Gosh, seriously. You scared the kids.

I really thought...

I was going to die if
I got caught this time.

But who knew I would meet you two here?

Whoa, I guess it is not my time to go yet.

During the war, when
the barbarians invaded,

all the Uiju people
sought refuge in my house.

I do have to live up to
my name, Gu Yang Cheon.

So I could not ignore them.

Everyone died.

Ning Gu Chin ran away.

He's probably dead.

Anyhow...

how did you two become bastards
who catch and sell off captives?

Come on, you know we are better than that.

Cut off each one's heel and
send them back to their owners.

Yes, sir!

Please help me! Please help!

Please help!

Help me!

Let go!

If you cut off their heels,

they will decrease in value.

It is such a waste.

I am sure you can sell
them for at least 30 nyang.

Thirty nyang for such weak ones?

There's no way!

- I think I would be able to sell them for that much.
- Help me!

If I cannot,

it would not be too late
to cut their heels after.

Instead,

if I do sell them for 30 nyang,

just give me three nyang.

I should gain something
in return for the work.

Hold!

If you're lying to me,

I will cut off your heels!

Thank you for helping.

I did not help him. I granted your request.

By the way, can you really sell
those captives for 30 nyang?

What I'm saying is,

how will you sell them for 30 nyang?
There are more than just a few.

This is so ridiculous and absurd.

Did you mean to spend
our money to buy them?

Did you think I was the god
of business or something?

How-

How on Earth can you sell
those gents for 30 nyang?

Huh?

Actually.

Once they put on some weight,

would they sell for at least five nyang?

Hey, look.

Hey, look.

Did you really sell them for 30 nyang?

- Yes.
- As I thought,

you are better than most at doing business.

Now, then.

Send them in.

You can sell them for me as well, right?

P-Please sav...

Please save me...

Come this way.

You can have your baby here.

This place is safe.

That man over there will
protect and guard us.

A misfortune after another, more
trouble as you go in deeper,

making matters worse.

Since kids are half of adults,
they can be sold for 15 nyang each.

Twelve kids. It's 180 nyang.

Right. It's 180 nyang!

Gosh, it's better for you if I catch you!

The best thing for you is
for us to catch you! Aigoo!

- Noona!
- Jung In!

Jung In!

Don't you think Ryang
Eum's too sentimental?

Gosh.

Hyungnim, did you promise to open up
Wooshimjeong in Namwon for me or not?

I did.

But after spending all this
money, when will you ever-

Gu Jam.

Looks like someone is here. I will be back.

Wait-

I heard all about you.

Send me to Joseon, too.

If you kill me, I cannot send you.

P-Please save me.

If you do not help, we will all die.

Please, I beg of you!

Please help us!

Please help us...

Save us, please...

This is all because of Ryang Eum.

Now that I think about it, you
cannot say no to Ryang Eum.

I mean, when he looks at you with
those teary eyes and pretty face,

you just cannot handle his charm.

Gosh, he's as cunning as a fox.

Instead of doing this, since we are
together after being apart for so long,

let's have some serious fun.

Let me pour you a shot.

Since we are all together now,

Let us earn a big fortune
just like we did in Uiju.

With me in this shape? No way.

Hyungnim, when did you ever make money

using the back of your heels?

Hyungnim, you only need
to tell people what to do.

We will make a big fortune and

Gu Jam can open up Wooshimjeong in Namwon.

Yes!

And let's build an even larger inn in Uiju.

Aigoo! I have not seen Jang Hyeon
hyungnim this decent for a while.

I thought you would die from heartbreak
after losing Young Lady Gil Chae.

Hey!

I'm Lee Jang Hyeon.

Do you think I'm an idiot who
cries out loud, whining, and

throws himself a pity party
just because of a woman?

So, he does know.

Sure, I will have to build a relationship

with the ladies in Shenyang today as well.

You may come in!

The barbarians' bald heads were shining!

You have to go far with me today,
so please don't hold back and drink.

What did she say?

She says she wants to have fun all night.

Let us go now.

Have a sweet dream.

Jong Jong.

Namwon's Wooshimjeong is mine now.

Should I tend to you, sir?

Sounds good.

Shall we move elsewhere, then?

Sounds good.

Should I just pour you drinks?

Sounds good.

Sounds good, sounds great.

Sounds good.

Can you...

call me an ugly piece of rock?

"Hey, you ugly piece of rock!"

Say that to me.

I had gone to Uiju.

But it was already

after you were taken.

I arrived too late.

No worries.

You had a woman?

Is she pretty?

Not at all.

Why are you clinging to a woman

who is not even pretty?

She's just...

a great person.

Just like you.

Thank you.

For staying alive.

It looks like...

you had wronged me greatly
in your previous life.

That must be why you are

my lifesaver in this life.

Right?

I think the flowers will bloom.

You love another woman besides me, right?

I can tell.

But just for today...

Is there anything you like?

Not sure.

So, how did a noblewoman end up

getting her hands on doing business?

You must have made big money
since you are in a good mood.

A person from the palace
came to check out our knives.

From the palace? Who came?

It was Royal Concubine Jo.

She asked how I ended up doing business,

so I told her everything that
had happened, one by one.

It's weird, isn't it?

After you left Hanyang,

that woman is the closest thing to you.

The fact that I have to at
least look at her every day

to endure this is...

so strange, isn't it?

How dare you flirt in front of Wangya♪? (King or feudal
lord who received the noble title from the Emperor)

Pull yourself together now. Come on.

Please help! No, no!

No, no! Please help!

P-Please help! Please!

Wangya wants high-quality tiger fur.

Tiger fur is hard to find, though.

You are the only one I can ask about this.

Please help!

Yet again.

She is too jealous, it is a problem.

What is the matter?

Hey!

You cannot look into the
courtyards carelessly.

I'm counting on you.

- Be quiet!
- Let me sleep.

Stop exaggerating.

I will bring a new towel.

Don't go.

I will be right back.

You saw Yeong Rang?

- So while we are on the topic-
- So what?

We cannot. We better not!

Hyungnim, saving runaway
captives is one thing,

but bringing someone out
of the royal court is...

Don't even dream of doing it.

Right.

You do not have to do it
if you do not want to.

Gu Jam is right!

Are they not women who have been
tainted by the barbarians already?

They will be mistreated even
if they go back to Joseon.

Why risk our lives to save them?

Do not do anything unnecessary.

Why won't you eat?

Do you not like the porridge?

Eat.

Just have a bite.

Aigoo, this is driving me nuts.

Gosh, don't cry-

Let me...

see the baby.

No need.

Gosh, how dare a woman who
was with the barbarians?

There.

Just have a bite.

And don't cry.

She's sleeping?

She's sleeping.

Don't wake up.

There you are.

Keutse and I were captured together.

You know, too, right?

Keutse used to work the fishing
nets, so he was built like a giant.

But he got caught while running away

and got caught again trying to run.

First time, they cut off his ears.

Next time, his heel was sliced.

And the last time he was caught,

all of his strength left his body, and

he was just...

a skeleton who can only stare.

I also...

did a lot of bad things

and saw all kinds of bastards,

but the barbarians are different.

They make me shiver.

So, do not risk your life unnecessarily,

trying to save women who
took to the barbarians.

- You got it?
- I don't.

I will have to help Yeong
Rang escape if she wants to.

What did you say?

It is Yeong Rang, you know.

(Yinzhen or Prince Xun (Wangya))

Thank you, thank you!

Do you happen to be...

interested in selling the Joseon
prisoners of war you have?

I will sell them for a good
price and get you a great profit.

All of his female Joseon servants
bed Wangya and tend to him.

So he will not send them back, no
matter how much money you offer.

Brilliant and Bright Young Rang.

Jang Hyeon orabeoni?

Do you want to run away from here?

I will help you if you want to.

You just never listen.

Runaway prisoner hunters
come here sometimes,

so we have to be careful.

You got it?

Just send me to Joseon, please.

My bride is waiting for me.

He said he will bring all of you, too.

How tiring.

I'm so tired.

Han Ya, hurry up.

I do not think...

I can do it, after all.

Next time...

they said they would cut my hands off.

Joseon's high-quality
paper is very popular.

I am counting on you.

I am on my way to sell
high-quality paper from Joseon.

Halt!

I will be the decoy.

A prisoner of war!

- Hurry up and go!
- Yes.

What are you doing here, old man?

You came.

Wow, Jang Hyeon, you still got it, huh?

Gosh, why is he not coming?

- Hyungnim!
- Hey, hurry it up.

My, Orabeoni.

Once they find out you ran away,

they will be hell-bent to find you.

So you must cross this river today.

Brace yourself.

Orabeoni, have you cured
your illness down there?

What?

You do not really like me anymore, right?

You would not want a girl
who has been tainted.

Tainted?

You know what I mean.

The barbarians already...

Will you say you've been
tainted when a dog bites you?

Just because you got hit by a crazy person,

will you say the spot you got hit is dirty?

A man in the right mind will never say
you've been tainted for such a reason.

So, once you get to Joseon,

try to meet a man who is in the right mind.

Not an emasculated guy like me.

Orabeoni...

Yang Cheon hyungnim fought with his life
on the line to send you back to Joseon.

At least consider his efforts,

and you have to live a good life.

Yes.

Done.

Yeong Rang, go now.

Please...

get there safely.

The messenger who came this time

apparently mentioned a
matter to the eunuchs.

What is this matter you speak of?

"Since your country is not working hard
to return prisoners of war who ran away,

your king must go to
the Emperor in Shenyang

and report to him directly in
person," is what they said.

They are trying to summon
me to the Qing Dynasty for

failing to catch and return the escapees.

They are using our failure
to return the escapees

to bring upon a disrespectful act!

They are trying to bring down our
nation's sovereignty one more time!

- He is right.
- Yes.

Do not speak so hastily!

If this matter gets leaked, there will
surely be a commotion among the people.

It must not be talked about carelessly.

How strange.

The Crown Prince is appeasing
Khan, even by learning Manchurian.

But why does Qing still urge us to
send back the captives who ran away?

Is the Crown Prince unaware of my suffering

due to the matters regarding
the runaway captives?

Could Crown Prince be...

only trying to save himself while
being wary of the barbarians?

Your Majesty,

show our sincerity by sending
back the escapees for now

and calm them down.

Yes.

Catching and returning
prisoners of war who ran away

is a terrible thing to do...

but how can we evade it?

Hasten the task of
catching the escapees and

send them back with the
messenger on his way back.

(Notice)

Escapees shall turn themselves in.

Those who do not turn themselves
in and those who hide escapees

will be punished strictly
under the same rule.

But those who report such
people will be rewarded greatly.

Wait, w-will you really get
rewarded for reporting escapees?

Aigoo, you want to report people who risked
their lives to escape for some money?

I didn't say I'll report.

I was just curious about it.

The entire country is
trembling with shock again

because of the matters regarding
sending back the escapees.

Although my people risked
their lives to come back,

how would they have known how strict
the Mt. Namhan Fortress Accord was?

As escapees are tied up
like bandits and sent back,

some hang themselves to death and

some even try to postpone the departure
by cutting off their own limbs.

Additionally, officials feel cornered by its
urgency that they falsely arrest their relatives.

However, the Royal Court is
unable to distinguish each case,

so, many are taken to
their death begrudgingly.

I risked my life to escape!

Alas, my people suffering
through this crisis

may criticize and resent me.

But it is my wrongdoing, so
how could I escape their blame?

However, please recognize my sincerity and

do not try to scatter or disobey the order.

Behave so that our 200-year-old

royalty and country can continue
on its thread of lineage.

This is my wish.

Aigoo, my son! My son!

I might be late tonight from
drinking with my superiors.

Or should I just come home
early and rest with you?

What do you mean?

You have to get on your superiors'
good side to be even more successful.

And if I'm more successful?

We will be richer.

And if we are richer?

Being richer is nice, so why ask?

I will also work hard to gain favors
from the madams of high ranking.

So, do not sit there quietly with a long
face, and be sure to enjoy yourself.

- All right?
- Yes.

Being rich is good.

I will be back.

Sending the escapees back could not be
helped as they threatened us to do so,

but for their wives and children,
reduce their sentences and show mercy,

displaying a good king's grace.

Also, if the country provides
the cost for buying them back,

the people will not resent the court
even if the cost is paid back later.

Spy Jeong Myeong Su's camp and
find out the appropriate cost

to buy back our people.

My Lord.

You should have let me know you are here.

I cannot bother you when you
are writing an appeal letter.

By the way, what are you appealing for?

They are arresting
runaway prisoners of war.

Do you know what the barbarians are after?

They are making the people
of Joseon fight against,

strike at, and hate each other.

But there are still many

who seek to work with the barbarians
in the future in the Royal Court.

Though I know no one waits for or

wants to read my appeal letter anymore.

Who else would be able to
bravely request His Majesty to

stop catching escapees, but you?

I am helping Gil Chae out.

So, you just go your own path, My Lord.

When I see you work hard
and ponder for the country,

I am happy and proud.

I want to play with you, Grandpa-

Come on now! I told you
to go play elsewhere!

Hey, now. I told you to go play elsewhere-

Gosh, my goodness.

- Arrest the escapee!
- Yes, sir!

O-Oh, my-I-I am not one!

- I-I am not one!
- Grandpa!

Madam, Madam!

Madam!

What is the meaning of this?

Take him!

Madam, please help.

Aigoo...

- Please help!
- Oh, no...

It's not me! I'm not the one!

Madam, did you know he was
an escapee and hid him?

I did not hide him.

I also did not know he
was an escapee at all.

If you are found to have hidden an escapee,

you have to pay for the consequences.

Do you know who Captain
Gu is to interrogate me?

I will go back now because I am not guilty.

My, what do I do?

Madam, please help me.

If I get sent back again
this time, I will die.

You deceived me, and now
you want me to help you?

Do you know how much
damage you have done to me?

I do not care if I die,
but please save my Da Jim.

You knew about it, did you not?

You accepted us, knowing
we escaped from Qing!

You better shut up!

You intended to deceive me.
How would I know?

Actually, this is what you planned
to do from the beginning, right?

If I get sent back this time, I will die.

Wangya keeps pestering me to bring back
the female captive who escaped last time.

But how could I catch her when
even the Joseon's king cannot?

You are right.

I am right?

Do you think you will be unharmed
if we cannot catch the escapees?

My goodness. You are really inflexible.

Do you think other Wangyas' attendants

catch those same escapees
and bring them back?

If not, then?

The madam you saw earlier.

She is gorgeous, right?

If I can bring such a woman,

he would forget about the escapee.

It is not like there is no way.

If they take us to Qing, Da Jim will die.

What does it have to do with me?

Please release the young child.

Even if you take him, he will
only be another mouth to feed.

If a young kid dies on the way,

they will not care that much.

That one looks similar.

Yes.

- Bring him.
- Yes.

Right?

My, I forgot something.

- One second.
- I will wait.

Who is going to take care of him now?

Stop crying.

Even if you cry, your
grandpa will not come back.

You are alone now.

You have to carry on courageously, okay?

Let's go.

Grandpa...

Don't go, Grandpa...

Madam!

Eat to your heart's content, Hyungnim.

Because you and I have to live
a long and cozy life together

until our hair turns gray.

What is wrong with you?
You are being gross.

Did you hear the news?

Joseon is turned upside
down to catch the escapees.

They said they are bringing
them back to Shenyang soon.

Hey.

Just eat the food. Just eat.

Hyungnim.

Such a thing will never
happen to you again.

Just count on me.

She is not at the markets.

Gil Chae disappeared?

They said she left the smithy
in the afternoon for sure.

But she did not come back.

Unni...

I will also look for her.

- Let us go.
- Yes.

Let's go.

Did she mention she
would stop by somewhere?

Jong Jong! Did Jong Jong disappear, too?

Madam!

My Lady!

Madam!

Madam!

Madam!

Madam! Madam!

Madam.

What is going on here?

Could it be Young Master Jang Hyeon again?

Shut your mouth!

I just thought, perhaps...

Hey, how did it go?

Aigoo, go on and report to His Lord.

Move aside! Why are you standing around?

Madam.

Open your eyes, Madam.

Hurry up! Hurry up, now!

What is going on?

What is this?

Where on Earth are we?

Madam, please look after yourself.

Get back!

You also escaped after getting caught
by the Qing army before, right?

That is why we are taking you back.

W-What do you mean?

I was never a captive.

So, let me down right now! Right now!

If you get down here, you end up like that.

Shall we let you down?

Along with the returning messenger,

escapees and naturalized citizens
caught in Joseon are coming.

This time, the Emperor has ordered
Joseon's subjects to watch the punishments

being carried out on
Joseon's escapees in person.

You heard, right?

Prisoners of war are coming from Joseon.

However, there is a court official who
refuses to watch them being punished.

Sure, I will fill in for his spot.

Will you do that?

What is so hard about that?

If I do not watch them,

- will the prisoners not get punished?
- Well, that is-

I really cannot tell what you are thinking.

I will go ahead.

Madam.

They are coming.

There are quite a few...

♫ The warmth that filled this heart ♫

(My Dearest)

♫ Spreads further ♫

♫ As if you understand my sad heart ♫

♫ He encourages me more warmly ♫

♫ Be my star, embracing this life ♫

♫ How can I let go of your warm embrace? ♫

♫ Be a ray of light in my exhausting life ♫

Help me out, please.

We can save them.

Save them?

It is too late. Wangya already
took a liking to your madam.

I will accompany Ryang Eum.

Give up. They cut off your fingers
and toes if you don't listen.

Do you know Sir Lee Jang Hyeon?

I will kill you for sure today.

If you think so, slash
me right here and now.

Your husband will come for you?

No husband ever came to get his wife.

Please do not forget.

Please endure to the end.

My responsibility is to protect you.

♫ No matter how dark it gets ♫
