1
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:44,920
CAPTIVATING THE KING
2
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,046
FINALE
3
00:00:47,089 --> 00:00:48,215
Come on now.
4
00:00:49,466 --> 00:00:50,592
Your Royal Highness.
5
00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:53,637
Forgive me,
6
00:00:55,138 --> 00:00:57,219
but being His Majesty's gidaeryeong
is enough for me.
7
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:03,397
Who gave you
the permission to take it off?
8
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:10,362
Your distasteful habit
of not listening while I am being civil
9
00:01:11,154 --> 00:01:14,283
slipped my mind.
10
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:17,035
Do not just stand about!
11
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:19,329
Strip her of this unseemly men's attire.
12
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:26,044
Let me go!
13
00:01:28,964 --> 00:01:31,717
Here comes His Majesty.
14
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:42,310
Your Majesty.
15
00:01:47,983 --> 00:01:49,026
Mother.
16
00:01:50,027 --> 00:01:51,862
What is going on here?
17
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:56,533
Greetings, Your Majesty.
18
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:14,676
Order them to let go of the gidaeryeong
19
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:16,428
right this instant.
20
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:17,429
Your Majesty.
21
00:02:17,512 --> 00:02:18,972
Please allow me a moment.
22
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:22,476
I was about to have her
try on the perfect outfit
23
00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:24,770
I bestowed upon her.
24
00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:30,734
If you do not order them
to release her, I will have to.
25
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:34,696
Shall I have all your servants
dragged out of your quarters?
26
00:02:45,916 --> 00:02:46,916
Senior Court Lady Han.
27
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:51,004
Release the gidaeryeong and leave.
28
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:07,187
You may leave as well, Mong-woo.
29
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:10,649
Yes, Your Majesty.
30
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:15,445
Word has it
31
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:19,199
that the Qing Emperor
wants to play baduk with her.
32
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,707
I will relieve you of this distress.
33
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,087
Appoint the gidaeryeong as a concubine.
34
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:34,589
Not even the Emperor of the Qing
35
00:03:34,673 --> 00:03:38,552
can summon the spouse
of Joseon's King at his will.
36
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:47,519
That idea eluded me.
37
00:03:49,271 --> 00:03:50,397
All the better,
38
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,942
I could make her the new occupant
of the queen's quarters.
39
00:03:54,443 --> 00:03:56,528
What do you think, Mother?
40
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,120
How is it that you are responding
to my concerns with a jape?
41
00:04:05,203 --> 00:04:06,747
Were you not japing?
42
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:10,208
In that case, let me be clear.
43
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:12,626
I will not
44
00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:16,047
send the gidaeryeong
to the Emperor of the Qing
45
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:19,092
or appoint her as my concubine.
46
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,225
If you thought you could control me
47
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:30,145
by using the gidaeryeong,
48
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:31,897
I advise you to perish the thought.
49
00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:32,981
Do you think
50
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:37,027
I want that wicked and deceiving wench
as your future spouse
51
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,737
out of my fondness for her?
52
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,574
You must sire a son
who will inherit the throne
53
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:44,659
and preserve your legacy.
54
00:04:45,368 --> 00:04:47,162
I already have a son.
55
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:49,289
The Crown Prince is the late king's son,
56
00:04:49,372 --> 00:04:50,999
not yours.
57
00:04:51,082 --> 00:04:53,794
Do you not remember
how the late king persecuted us?
58
00:04:53,877 --> 00:04:55,557
The apple does not fall far from the tree.
59
00:04:56,797 --> 00:05:01,009
If he ascends to the throne,
a bloodbath will be inevitable.
60
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:05,806
That will happen when I am dead and gone.
61
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:08,391
There is nothing I can do about that.
62
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:15,357
If that is what you truly want, then fine.
63
00:05:17,192 --> 00:05:18,652
I will no longer
64
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:20,946
reside in the palace with you.
65
00:05:21,947 --> 00:05:23,532
If I leave the palace,
66
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:29,538
the whole nation will learn
that you are the most undutiful son.
67
00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:31,748
Do you truly believe
68
00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:35,001
your authority will hold
even while going against my will?
69
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:43,635
It will not do
70
00:05:44,928 --> 00:05:46,930
to have you leave the palace.
71
00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:53,645
I shall ieo myself.
72
00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:54,997
IEO: RELOCATION OF THE KING'S RESIDENCE
73
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:56,106
Your Majesty!
74
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:57,941
Promise me one thing.
75
00:05:58,024 --> 00:05:59,024
Do not…
76
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:02,404
summon the gidaeryeong
77
00:06:03,154 --> 00:06:04,739
under any circumstances.
78
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:08,618
Gidaeryeong Kang
should only answer to my calls.
79
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:21,464
I shall leave now.
80
00:06:33,977 --> 00:06:37,147
How could you
treat your mother so harshly?
81
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:51,077
How could you be this cruel
to your own mother?
82
00:06:56,458 --> 00:06:57,458
Were you hurt
83
00:06:58,543 --> 00:07:02,297
because of my refusal
to appoint you as my concubine?
84
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:06,384
If you had ordered me
85
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:10,221
to abandon my current post
and become your concubine,
86
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:13,058
I would have resented you
87
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:15,560
and cut you out of my life.
88
00:07:20,857 --> 00:07:23,276
I almost stepped right into trouble.
89
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:26,445
To speak the truth,
90
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:32,243
my mother's words
did sway me for a moment.
91
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:37,374
What made you change your mind?
92
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:40,043
I selfishly desired
93
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:43,880
to have you confined to the palace
so you would only see and think about me.
94
00:07:45,674 --> 00:07:49,552
It seemed as if my mother
had seen through me, which shamed me.
95
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:52,597
And only then could I think straight.
96
00:07:58,228 --> 00:07:59,938
When were you planning to tell me
97
00:08:00,522 --> 00:08:02,649
that the Emperor had summoned me?
98
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:06,361
I was never going to tell you.
99
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:09,489
I have no intention
of sending you away anyway.
100
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,411
- Your Majesty.
- My mind has been set.
101
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,121
Do not try to argue with me.
102
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:29,092
Your Majesty.
103
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:33,471
If you do not send
Gidaeryeong Kang Mong-woo to the Qing,
104
00:08:33,555 --> 00:08:36,766
they may use the execution
of the Principal Director as a pretext
105
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:38,435
and pressure you further.
106
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:44,357
I cannot sacrifice the gidaeryeong
107
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:46,860
to evade their unreasonable requests
and interference.
108
00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:49,988
Punishing the Principal Director
109
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:52,449
has improved public sentiment,
110
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:55,785
but there is another challenge
that is yet to be overcome.
111
00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:01,958
It is Gidaeryeong Kang Mong-woo.
112
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:07,213
Your Majesty, I implore you.
113
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:09,716
Send the gidaeryeong to the Qing
114
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,760
and issue a decree
for the selection of the queen.
115
00:09:12,343 --> 00:09:14,596
If you select a new queen,
116
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,348
the people will trust
and follow you wholly.
117
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:19,350
Only then
118
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:23,354
can we abolish the Border Defense Council
without the court's resistance
119
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:27,734
as you have desired and reform the court.
120
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:31,321
Please reconsider your decision.
121
00:09:47,545 --> 00:09:48,630
Master Choam.
122
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:50,548
Thank you.
123
00:09:51,883 --> 00:09:53,510
I did not make the request for you.
124
00:09:54,302 --> 00:09:57,597
I only offered His Majesty my advice
125
00:09:58,181 --> 00:10:00,391
as I did not think
you should remain by his side.
126
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:04,229
That was why I asked you to advise him.
127
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:06,815
Without sincerity,
128
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:09,651
no advice can bend his will.
129
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,323
I do not know
130
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:18,827
what decision he will come to.
131
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:21,496
His Majesty
132
00:10:22,205 --> 00:10:26,209
knows the truth in your words
better than anyone.
133
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:28,419
Though it may take some time,
134
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,589
he will make the right decision.
135
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:42,976
Your Majesty, it is me, Sang-hwa.
136
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:44,144
You may enter.
137
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:58,575
How did it go?
138
00:10:59,534 --> 00:11:01,619
I conveyed your order
to Senior Court Lady Han.
139
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,557
I told her that should a rumor
that the gidaeryeong is a woman spread,
140
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:06,499
she would be expelled
and punished severely
141
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:09,263
as the Queen Dowager's quarters
would be assumed the rumor's origin.
142
00:11:09,711 --> 00:11:11,629
She said she would take it to her grave.
143
00:11:13,798 --> 00:11:15,633
Is there any news about Jung Je-pyo?
144
00:11:16,134 --> 00:11:17,844
After voyaging across the nation,
145
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:20,367
he has been staying
in Iksan Magistracy for the last few days.
146
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:24,350
Observe the people he meets
and their topics of discussion
147
00:11:25,476 --> 00:11:27,020
and report back to me.
148
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:28,271
Yes, Your Majesty.
149
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:47,205
Your Majesty.
150
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,043
I have a question.
151
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:51,753
What is it?
152
00:11:54,005 --> 00:11:56,049
Punishing the Principal Director
153
00:11:57,634 --> 00:11:59,636
equates to declaring war against the Qing.
154
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,097
But they offered peace
155
00:12:03,181 --> 00:12:06,559
by requesting you to send me
instead of invading with their troops.
156
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:08,686
It is strange.
157
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:16,110
It means they cannot mobilize
their troops at their will.
158
00:12:18,446 --> 00:12:21,324
They would have to engage
with the remaining forces of the Ming,
159
00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:24,452
and the young Emperor and Prince Rui
160
00:12:24,535 --> 00:12:26,955
may have begun their struggle for power.
161
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:30,208
Your Majesty.
162
00:12:31,459 --> 00:12:33,127
I will go to the Emperor.
163
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:38,132
I will look into the situation
they are in.
164
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:42,553
Did I not tell you already
that I would not be sending you away?
165
00:12:43,554 --> 00:12:46,057
Do you think they would accept that
without a challenge?
166
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:50,812
Finding a way to take advantage
of the situation would be preferable,
167
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:51,896
would it not?
168
00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:54,273
Do you think they will not
see through your intent?
169
00:12:54,816 --> 00:12:56,609
They will consider you a spy,
170
00:12:56,693 --> 00:12:58,486
keep their eyes on you at all times,
171
00:12:59,070 --> 00:13:01,114
and find any means to persecute you.
172
00:13:01,197 --> 00:13:03,032
Why do you insist on taking the risk?
173
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:06,244
Because I would be leaving to play baduk
174
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:08,830
and it would be the Qing Emperor
I would converse with there.
175
00:13:09,664 --> 00:13:11,290
Should I earn his goodwill,
176
00:13:11,374 --> 00:13:13,793
I would gain means
to aid you and this nation.
177
00:13:14,377 --> 00:13:16,921
There is no reason for me
to hesitate or dread it.
178
00:13:23,344 --> 00:13:24,721
- No.
- Your Majesty.
179
00:13:28,099 --> 00:13:30,435
There is another reason I must go.
180
00:13:35,565 --> 00:13:36,691
I wish to see
181
00:13:37,525 --> 00:13:39,068
my long-yearned father in Beijing.
182
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:06,304
I failed to protect you three years ago.
183
00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:09,974
But even after three years,
184
00:14:11,476 --> 00:14:14,479
I am no different
in that I still cannot protect you.
185
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:22,070
Why must I, even as the king,
186
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:28,117
face continued failures in protecting you?
187
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:36,375
Your Majesty.
188
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:45,593
You have my approval.
189
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:48,388
You may leave to the Qing.
190
00:14:57,355 --> 00:14:58,523
Thank you, Your Majesty.
191
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:03,653
I shall…
192
00:15:05,863 --> 00:15:08,366
live up to your expectations.
193
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:40,022
Do not make those faces.
194
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:42,608
I am not going there as a criminal
195
00:15:42,692 --> 00:15:44,652
but as the Emperor's guest.
196
00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,279
They may call you their guest,
197
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:48,656
but who knows how they will treat you?
198
00:15:49,699 --> 00:15:50,825
My lady.
199
00:15:50,908 --> 00:15:54,662
Does that mean
you are going as the gidaeryeong?
200
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:58,291
I must step down from the post when I go.
201
00:16:00,334 --> 00:16:04,589
And yet His Majesty gave you
his approval for you to go to the Qing?
202
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:06,632
I asked for his approval myself.
203
00:16:07,425 --> 00:16:08,945
I would like to see my father as well.
204
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:15,558
I might as well take this opportunity
and join Lady Hee-soo
205
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:18,561
to see how Bun-yeong is doing
and go sightseeing in Beijing.
206
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,159
I will be traveling
with the envoy's group,
207
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:23,858
so I can only take two other people.
208
00:16:23,941 --> 00:16:25,735
Then Jageunnyeon should stay.
209
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,279
Yes, it would be better for us to go.
210
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:30,990
There will be loads to pack.
211
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:33,034
When are we leaving?
212
00:16:34,076 --> 00:16:36,204
We will be leaving in a month's time.
213
00:16:37,622 --> 00:16:38,622
A month's time…
214
00:16:41,626 --> 00:16:44,795
I cannot send Mong-woo to the Qing alone.
215
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:48,799
How about you select a few men
from my unit to watch over her?
216
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,677
There is someone
more suited for that role.
217
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:54,388
Do you mean Chu Dal-ha?
218
00:16:58,893 --> 00:17:00,453
I shall order the Chief Royal Secretary
219
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,272
to prepare a royal decree
granting him amnesty.
220
00:17:03,773 --> 00:17:06,192
Go and deliver it
as soon as the document is prepared.
221
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:07,777
Yes, Your Majesty.
222
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:40,476
I hear my days in exile came to a close.
223
00:17:42,144 --> 00:17:43,145
The gidaeryeong
224
00:17:43,771 --> 00:17:45,606
will be leaving for Beijing.
225
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:50,528
His Majesty granted you amnesty
so you could watch over her.
226
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:07,545
What is it?
227
00:18:08,045 --> 00:18:09,297
I apologize,
228
00:18:10,381 --> 00:18:12,633
but could I ask for a few days' time?
229
00:18:13,676 --> 00:18:15,720
I must tie up a loose end.
230
00:18:15,803 --> 00:18:17,138
It is Yoo Hyun-bo, is it not?
231
00:18:20,349 --> 00:18:21,892
Do you plan to kill him?
232
00:18:27,565 --> 00:18:29,942
Killing an exiled criminal
for personal reasons
233
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,236
is against this nation's law.
234
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:36,949
You would be committing another crime
against His Majesty despite his kindness.
235
00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:45,665
You have three days.
236
00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:47,710
That is it.
237
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:10,441
I was wondering where you went.
238
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:12,693
I see you went to get some wood.
239
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:16,197
It was so cold at night
240
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:19,158
that I almost froze to death.
241
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:20,993
Start the fire to heat the floor.
242
00:19:21,619 --> 00:19:23,996
There will be no heating
until winter frost sets in.
243
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,291
Do remember this is not some
luxurious residence, will you?
244
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:28,833
Good grief.
245
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,755
That little brat…
246
00:19:42,431 --> 00:19:43,431
What is it?
247
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:48,896
Over there.
248
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:51,022
What?
249
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:53,359
What was it?
250
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:54,443
Someone I know
251
00:19:55,569 --> 00:19:59,031
was standing there just now.
252
00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:00,199
Over there.
253
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:02,827
Goodness.
254
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:04,245
Someone you know?
255
00:20:04,954 --> 00:20:05,996
Unbelievable.
256
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,208
This is not some market in the capital
where people can bump into each other!
257
00:20:09,959 --> 00:20:11,043
Wait.
258
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:14,463
He was there just a moment ago.
259
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:15,798
Step away.
260
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:17,550
Stop playing games
261
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:18,676
and go back inside.
262
00:20:19,427 --> 00:20:21,762
You will be flogged
if the magistrate sees you.
263
00:20:21,846 --> 00:20:22,846
Do you understand?
264
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:29,437
Get back inside.
265
00:20:43,033 --> 00:20:44,201
What is this?
266
00:20:44,827 --> 00:20:46,537
It is your meal.
267
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,831
That was not the point of my question.
268
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:52,251
Did I not give you money
for food yesterday?
269
00:20:52,334 --> 00:20:54,712
Do not put on such airs
for some petty change.
270
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:00,134
You bastard!
271
00:21:01,218 --> 00:21:02,928
Do you know who I am?
272
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:06,724
You can have this lousy food.
273
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:13,397
I will head straight to the magistracy
and inform the magistrate of this!
274
00:21:15,816 --> 00:21:17,401
Acting like a nobleman
275
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:19,675
when you are but a traitor, are you?
276
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:22,484
I knew it. It really was you.
277
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:29,575
I was worried that I might not
get to kill you before leaving,
278
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,286
but the heavens are on my side.
279
00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:39,001
Your knife is rather small.
280
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,338
You should have brought a longer sword.
281
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:46,425
This will be more than enough
282
00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,386
to kill a mangy hyena.
283
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:51,930
If you kill me,
284
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,184
you will die as well
for murdering an exiled criminal.
285
00:23:55,809 --> 00:23:58,687
Killing a murderous runaway
is an exception.
286
00:24:00,481 --> 00:24:04,318
When I go to the Underworld
and meet that wench, Hongjang,
287
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:05,778
I shall have to ask her this.
288
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:11,033
"How did you end up taking a lover
as lowly as Chu Dal-ha?"
289
00:24:49,697 --> 00:24:51,865
You will not be meeting Hongjang
in the Underworld
290
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:56,120
since you will fall straight
into the burning pits of hell.
291
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:23,981
Lord Kim.
292
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:25,899
What brings you here?
293
00:25:30,612 --> 00:25:34,742
Did you come knowing that
today is my last day in the palace
294
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,702
serving as the gidaeryeong?
295
00:25:39,955 --> 00:25:42,332
Yoo Hyun-bo died.
296
00:25:45,836 --> 00:25:48,148
He seems to have run away
after murdering his exile overseer
297
00:25:48,172 --> 00:25:50,257
and met his end at the hand of a bandit.
298
00:25:58,557 --> 00:25:59,558
Are you all right?
299
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:04,438
Yoo Hyun-bo
300
00:26:05,814 --> 00:26:07,983
persecuted and harmed Hongjang,
301
00:26:09,151 --> 00:26:10,986
but he was her only kin.
302
00:26:13,447 --> 00:26:17,284
I thought I would be in agony
for the rest of my life,
303
00:26:18,327 --> 00:26:20,412
unable to decide
whether to forgive him or not.
304
00:26:24,625 --> 00:26:26,710
I did not expect it to end like this.
305
00:26:30,881 --> 00:26:32,090
When are you leaving?
306
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:43,018
I shall bid my farewell
to His Majesty tomorrow
307
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:44,728
and leave the day after.
308
00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:49,149
I wish you
309
00:26:50,234 --> 00:26:51,401
a safe journey.
310
00:26:54,571 --> 00:26:55,823
Thank you.
311
00:26:55,906 --> 00:26:57,115
Please do not worry.
312
00:27:13,507 --> 00:27:15,008
Your Royal Highness.
313
00:27:15,592 --> 00:27:18,428
I wanted to see you for the last time
before I left the palace.
314
00:27:25,352 --> 00:27:26,352
Master.
315
00:27:29,648 --> 00:27:32,818
I shall remember all your teachings
until we meet again.
316
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:40,659
I shall also look forward to
317
00:27:42,244 --> 00:27:43,579
our reunion.
318
00:27:51,837 --> 00:27:53,505
Please give my regards
319
00:27:54,089 --> 00:27:55,883
to my sister in Beijing.
320
00:27:58,427 --> 00:28:00,846
Yes, Your Royal Highness. I shall.
321
00:28:02,222 --> 00:28:03,724
Please stay strong and healthy
322
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:06,351
until the day we meet again.
323
00:28:07,895 --> 00:28:09,229
I will, Master.
324
00:28:47,684 --> 00:28:48,894
I am back.
325
00:28:48,977 --> 00:28:51,980
Look who we have here, my lady.
326
00:28:55,025 --> 00:28:56,026
My lady.
327
00:29:00,822 --> 00:29:02,157
How did you manage to return?
328
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:06,787
His Majesty granted me a pardon
329
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:08,830
so that I could escort you to Beijing.
330
00:29:10,123 --> 00:29:12,834
But something feels so off about you.
331
00:29:13,335 --> 00:29:14,628
You do not have the look
332
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:17,547
of a haggard criminal
who suffered a punishment.
333
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:18,715
Am I wrong?
334
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:20,175
I must agree.
335
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:23,053
You look as bright as the moon.
336
00:29:23,136 --> 00:29:26,181
Dal-ha, shining like the moonlight.
337
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:38,735
Yoo Hyun-bo died.
338
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:42,048
He seems to have run away
after murdering his exile overseer
339
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:44,157
and met his end at the hand of a bandit.
340
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:48,620
How are you feeling?
341
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:53,500
Are you all right?
342
00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:58,213
Do not worry about me, my lady.
343
00:29:58,297 --> 00:30:00,132
I feel fine and at ease.
344
00:30:04,011 --> 00:30:05,091
That is good enough for me.
345
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:24,656
My lady, you should come out for a moment.
346
00:30:25,282 --> 00:30:26,992
Why are you acting so fussy?
347
00:30:48,055 --> 00:30:49,055
Captain Joo.
348
00:30:49,598 --> 00:30:51,433
What brings you here?
349
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:53,018
His Majesty summons you.
350
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:01,902
I was getting ready to go to the palace.
351
00:31:02,736 --> 00:31:04,112
Please allow me a moment.
352
00:31:04,613 --> 00:31:06,114
I shall prepare myself and come back.
353
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:07,908
Wait.
354
00:31:14,748 --> 00:31:16,833
What is this?
355
00:31:17,334 --> 00:31:19,294
His Majesty has bestowed upon you
a set of attire.
356
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,380
Get changed and come outside.
357
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:22,464
I will be waiting.
358
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:38,939
Look at this, my lady.
359
00:31:42,109 --> 00:31:43,485
What is the matter?
360
00:31:44,069 --> 00:31:45,529
Do you not like it?
361
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:49,407
That is not it.
362
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:51,575
I like it.
363
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:54,871
I wish
364
00:31:55,622 --> 00:31:57,958
His Majesty would not send you away.
365
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:01,253
Jageunnyeon.
366
00:32:01,878 --> 00:32:03,255
I know it cannot happen.
367
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:06,633
I am only saying how I feel.
368
00:32:53,763 --> 00:32:54,764
Your Majesty.
369
00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:35,931
You did not summon me to Yeongchwijeong,
370
00:33:36,681 --> 00:33:39,768
so I was afraid
I would have to leave without seeing you.
371
00:33:41,228 --> 00:33:42,479
I did not summon you
372
00:33:42,562 --> 00:33:45,941
as I was afraid my resolve
would waver upon seeing you.
373
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:52,739
How come you summoned me today?
374
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:56,701
I summoned you…
375
00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:02,624
because I wished to spend the day
wholly with you.
376
00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:08,755
A whole day for us
to be an ordinary man and woman.
377
00:34:17,806 --> 00:34:19,015
Will you join me?
378
00:35:18,158 --> 00:35:20,076
Do you know how to skip stones?
379
00:35:33,882 --> 00:35:36,343
The best stone for this game
380
00:35:38,219 --> 00:35:40,096
is a flat stone like this one.
381
00:35:42,557 --> 00:35:43,557
Here I go.
382
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:51,608
Give it a try.
383
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:10,669
You sure have a talent
for all games with stones.
384
00:36:51,668 --> 00:36:52,836
Your Majesty.
385
00:36:53,420 --> 00:36:54,546
I am fine.
386
00:36:57,173 --> 00:36:58,173
Here.
387
00:37:13,273 --> 00:37:14,566
Are you all right?
388
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:17,694
I am.
389
00:37:23,366 --> 00:37:24,367
Let me.
390
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:55,398
What thought has you smiling thusly?
391
00:37:58,568 --> 00:38:00,236
I was reminded of a past event.
392
00:38:01,571 --> 00:38:02,571
Years ago,
393
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,116
when you ascended to the throne
394
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:08,119
and I was jailed in the State Tribunal,
395
00:38:08,203 --> 00:38:09,245
I had a dream.
396
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:14,000
I dreamt that you came by
397
00:38:14,083 --> 00:38:16,044
to see me while I was sleeping.
398
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:20,256
It was not a dream.
399
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:25,595
I did visit you then
without anyone knowing.
400
00:38:31,351 --> 00:38:35,188
No wonder it felt so real.
401
00:38:35,271 --> 00:38:37,357
There are requests I must make to you.
402
00:38:40,485 --> 00:38:41,861
No matter how upset you get,
403
00:38:43,279 --> 00:38:46,282
do not go against the Emperor rashly.
404
00:38:48,701 --> 00:38:50,578
Seeing your eyes go ablaze
405
00:38:52,747 --> 00:38:54,624
might make the Emperor fall for you.
406
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:03,258
If you do get to play baduk
with the Emperor,
407
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:06,469
remember to lose one out of three games.
408
00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:10,473
Having the Emperor
insist on keeping you until he wins…
409
00:39:13,142 --> 00:39:14,435
will not do at all.
410
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:22,569
Yes, Your Majesty. I will remember.
411
00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:26,739
Do you have any other requests for me?
412
00:39:26,823 --> 00:39:28,116
No matter where you are,
413
00:39:33,621 --> 00:39:36,249
do not forget that you are my gidaeryeong.
414
00:39:41,754 --> 00:39:44,424
I have a request to make as well.
415
00:39:49,345 --> 00:39:51,764
Even if days go by without mongwoo,
416
00:39:52,807 --> 00:39:55,226
do not be upset or harass Captain Joo.
417
00:39:56,936 --> 00:39:58,980
Do not shed tears at the sight of mongwoo
418
00:40:00,106 --> 00:40:02,567
or stay all alone in Yeongchwijeong.
419
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,360
One more thing.
420
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:08,948
Do not leave the queen's quarters
vacant for too long.
421
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:11,826
The court will be concerned…
422
00:40:32,931 --> 00:40:33,931
What else?
423
00:40:35,725 --> 00:40:37,477
Is there anything else
you want to tell me?
424
00:40:43,733 --> 00:40:44,733
Your Majesty.
425
00:40:47,612 --> 00:40:49,322
Why do you not ask
426
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,367
for my name?
427
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:00,291
You said it is the rule of your baduk bet.
428
00:41:01,542 --> 00:41:04,545
You only tell your name
to the opponent who beats you.
429
00:41:06,047 --> 00:41:07,882
I have not beaten you yet,
430
00:41:09,217 --> 00:41:11,094
so how could I ask for your name?
431
00:41:18,226 --> 00:41:19,560
I promise
432
00:41:21,062 --> 00:41:22,730
to return safely
433
00:41:23,856 --> 00:41:26,150
and give you a chance to win against me.
434
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:31,364
Here is my promise.
435
00:41:34,033 --> 00:41:35,994
I will beat you when that day comes
436
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:39,622
and have you say your name.
437
00:44:09,313 --> 00:44:12,316
I will not come to Yeongchwijeong
until Mong-woo returns.
438
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,902
Shut the gate to the place
until I command otherwise.
439
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:53,149
Are you doing well, Mong-woo?
440
00:44:53,691 --> 00:44:56,402
It has already been nine months
since you left for the Qing.
441
00:44:56,903 --> 00:44:59,071
There have been
many events, small and big,
442
00:44:59,155 --> 00:45:01,699
in and out of the palace
while you were gone.
443
00:45:03,242 --> 00:45:06,871
His Majesty has ordered us
to find a way to right the wrongs
444
00:45:06,954 --> 00:45:09,040
that are harming our people.
445
00:45:09,624 --> 00:45:11,792
What do you think that means?
446
00:45:11,876 --> 00:45:13,419
He is referring to the wrongs
447
00:45:13,502 --> 00:45:16,005
regarding the tribute offering
and the military service.
448
00:45:18,090 --> 00:45:19,300
Do you assume
449
00:45:19,383 --> 00:45:22,279
the noblemen will also have to pay taxes
to be exempt from military service?
450
00:45:22,303 --> 00:45:23,888
His Majesty said it was unfair
451
00:45:23,971 --> 00:45:27,558
for the commoners to suffer alone
while the noblemen made no sacrifices.
452
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:33,981
The court and the scholars
will be against this.
453
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:38,194
Even the scholars' resistance
will not work on His Majesty.
454
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:41,757
After the Chief State Councilor
and Right State Councilor
455
00:45:41,781 --> 00:45:43,621
requested to be dismissed
and left the capital,
456
00:45:43,991 --> 00:45:45,469
His Majesty appointed
the Left State Councilor
457
00:45:45,493 --> 00:45:46,869
as the Chief State Councilor,
458
00:45:46,953 --> 00:45:48,639
the Inspector General
as the Minister of Personnel,
459
00:45:48,663 --> 00:45:51,582
and the Chief Royal Secretary
as the Minister of Rites.
460
00:45:51,666 --> 00:45:54,210
The palace and the court
must right their wrongs
461
00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:56,045
for the people to follow.
462
00:45:56,128 --> 00:45:59,340
Therefore, I will right the wrongs
of the royal family as well.
463
00:46:00,633 --> 00:46:02,134
Expose all the crimes
464
00:46:02,218 --> 00:46:04,679
of members of the royal family
and their relatives
465
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:07,765
who went against the national law
and monopolized the salt manufacture
466
00:46:07,848 --> 00:46:11,477
or stole lands that were cultivated
through people's hard work and sacrifice.
467
00:46:12,019 --> 00:46:14,772
And see to it
that they are severely punished.
468
00:46:17,108 --> 00:46:20,361
My brother requested to be dismissed,
but His Majesty disapproved.
469
00:46:20,444 --> 00:46:23,614
He was offered the position
of the governor of Gyeonggi Province
470
00:46:23,698 --> 00:46:25,324
which he surprisingly accepted.
471
00:46:25,825 --> 00:46:28,911
The days he used to be called
one of the Three Hwans
472
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,414
are long behind him.
473
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:35,668
His Majesty is reforming the court
with a strong initiative.
474
00:46:35,751 --> 00:46:37,128
But what questions me the most
475
00:46:37,628 --> 00:46:40,756
is that he lets Jung Je-pyo,
the Supreme General of the Privy Council,
476
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,216
abuse his powers and seek more
477
00:46:42,717 --> 00:46:44,760
with the Qing as his trusted patron.
478
00:46:49,306 --> 00:46:51,559
The Third Minister of War is here,
my lord.
479
00:46:52,351 --> 00:46:53,602
Welcome, Myung-ha.
480
00:47:03,529 --> 00:47:05,906
Were you writing a letter
to send to Beijing again?
481
00:47:06,699 --> 00:47:10,036
Why do you continue to send one
when you have not received any replies?
482
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:14,040
Must there be a reason
for a friend to send a letter to another?
483
00:47:16,959 --> 00:47:18,836
After I heard the news
of the Princess's return
484
00:47:18,919 --> 00:47:20,963
after the sudden death of Prince Rui,
485
00:47:21,047 --> 00:47:24,175
I have been hoping Mong-woo
would accompany her.
486
00:47:24,967 --> 00:47:27,053
But you heard the rumor too, did you not?
487
00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:30,431
They say Kang Mong-woo
may become the Emperor's gidaejo.
488
00:47:30,514 --> 00:47:32,743
GIDAEJO: A GOVERNMENT POST
FOR THE EMPEROR'S BADUK COMPANION
489
00:47:32,767 --> 00:47:34,769
I cannot sit back and watch that happen.
490
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:37,897
What could you possibly do
491
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:39,982
when even His Majesty has his hands tied?
492
00:47:40,066 --> 00:47:42,276
That also upsets me.
493
00:47:42,359 --> 00:47:45,780
He locked up Yeongchwijeong
and forbade us from mentioning Mong-woo.
494
00:47:47,615 --> 00:47:51,535
He does not seem like the man
who favored him more than anyone else.
495
00:48:35,162 --> 00:48:37,623
Have you been well, Your Royal Highness?
496
00:48:38,207 --> 00:48:40,501
How did you know I was here?
497
00:48:40,584 --> 00:48:44,088
I went to the temporary palace
to uphold a royal command to greet you,
498
00:48:44,713 --> 00:48:46,549
and your maids directed me here.
499
00:48:47,716 --> 00:48:50,511
Did the King order you to find out
500
00:48:51,178 --> 00:48:52,847
whether I am dead or alive?
501
00:48:54,098 --> 00:48:56,100
Of course not, Your Royal Highness.
502
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,062
His Majesty is constantly concerned
about your well-being...
503
00:49:00,146 --> 00:49:02,982
Tell him that I am well.
504
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:07,069
Your Royal Highness.
505
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:09,363
Forgive me,
506
00:49:09,446 --> 00:49:12,199
but His Majesty charged me
to ask you a question.
507
00:49:12,867 --> 00:49:15,452
It has been months
since you went away for a retreat,
508
00:49:15,536 --> 00:49:17,329
so when might you be returning to the...
509
00:49:17,413 --> 00:49:19,039
Why are you asking me that?
510
00:49:19,874 --> 00:49:21,417
Tell the King to come by himself…
511
00:49:24,253 --> 00:49:26,839
to have me consider
the matter of my return.
512
00:49:42,605 --> 00:49:45,566
Your Majesty,
I come bearing an urgent matter.
513
00:49:46,275 --> 00:49:47,919
I was on my way
to the Directorate of Training
514
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:49,361
and the Royal Commandery Division.
515
00:49:49,445 --> 00:49:50,445
What is the matter?
516
00:49:54,241 --> 00:49:55,284
Your Majesty.
517
00:49:56,452 --> 00:50:00,206
The Qing's envoy has reached
the Mohwa Guesthouse.
518
00:50:00,289 --> 00:50:05,419
I was wondering if I could go welcome
the envoy and his party.
519
00:50:05,502 --> 00:50:06,545
Your Majesty.
520
00:50:06,629 --> 00:50:09,340
Two officials dispatched to Uiju
have received
521
00:50:09,423 --> 00:50:12,176
and accompanied the envoy
ever since his arrival there.
522
00:50:12,259 --> 00:50:15,346
There is no need
for the Supreme General to join them.
523
00:50:16,931 --> 00:50:18,057
Your Majesty.
524
00:50:18,724 --> 00:50:19,767
I have known
525
00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:24,605
the Qing's current envoy for a long time,
and I am on good terms with him.
526
00:50:25,272 --> 00:50:27,358
I only seek to prevent
any discomfort to you
527
00:50:27,441 --> 00:50:30,110
before your departure
from the palace tomorrow,
528
00:50:30,736 --> 00:50:32,363
so please give me your approval.
529
00:50:33,781 --> 00:50:34,823
You have my approval.
530
00:50:35,407 --> 00:50:37,409
As Princess Jangryeong
will need to be escorted,
531
00:50:37,493 --> 00:50:39,495
take Third Minister of War
Kim Myung-ha with you.
532
00:50:40,287 --> 00:50:41,455
I shall, Your Majesty.
533
00:50:52,132 --> 00:50:53,133
Your Majesty.
534
00:50:53,217 --> 00:50:56,178
It is clear that Jung Je-pyo
volunteered to go to the Mohwa Guesthouse
535
00:50:56,262 --> 00:50:59,348
to satisfy his selfish needs
by colluding with the Qing's envoy
536
00:50:59,848 --> 00:51:02,726
and to inform the matters
of the Joseon court to the Qing.
537
00:51:02,810 --> 00:51:06,230
As his reliable patron,
Prince Rui, is now long gone,
538
00:51:06,313 --> 00:51:08,023
he seeks to contribute to their court
539
00:51:08,107 --> 00:51:12,444
and prove to the Emperor
his competence as a spy.
540
00:51:16,198 --> 00:51:18,117
Your concerns are duly noted.
541
00:51:21,578 --> 00:51:22,997
I have a plan in mind,
542
00:51:24,915 --> 00:51:26,041
so do not worry.
543
00:51:28,961 --> 00:51:30,796
Make way!
544
00:51:33,173 --> 00:51:36,093
Even a snail is faster than you lot.
545
00:51:36,593 --> 00:51:37,636
Go faster!
546
00:51:43,392 --> 00:51:45,519
Hey, what do you think you are doing?
547
00:51:52,735 --> 00:51:55,015
I will leave you behind
if you do not come to your senses!
548
00:51:56,030 --> 00:51:57,990
Let us go. Hurry.
549
00:52:06,874 --> 00:52:07,875
Is Se-dong here?
550
00:52:08,751 --> 00:52:09,751
Goodness.
551
00:52:09,793 --> 00:52:11,754
Welcome, my lord.
552
00:52:12,338 --> 00:52:13,338
Oh my.
553
00:52:14,048 --> 00:52:15,549
I hope you have been well.
554
00:52:15,632 --> 00:52:17,593
I am here to see the gidaeryeong.
Where is she?
555
00:52:18,385 --> 00:52:20,137
Sorry? What do you mean?
556
00:52:20,220 --> 00:52:21,889
I know she is back.
557
00:52:21,972 --> 00:52:23,140
Do not play dumb.
558
00:52:24,475 --> 00:52:27,561
We are not playing dumb...
559
00:52:27,644 --> 00:52:30,230
Must I search the place
for you to tell me the truth?
560
00:52:33,108 --> 00:52:34,108
Lord Kim.
561
00:52:45,662 --> 00:52:46,662
Lord Kim.
562
00:52:48,123 --> 00:52:49,375
It has been a while.
563
00:53:01,553 --> 00:53:04,014
How come you returned without a word?
564
00:53:04,098 --> 00:53:06,350
Has your father not returned with you?
565
00:53:07,601 --> 00:53:09,645
He is still in Beijing.
566
00:53:10,145 --> 00:53:12,773
Master Chu said he would stay by his side,
567
00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:15,442
so only I accompanied
Bun-yeong back to Joseon.
568
00:53:17,277 --> 00:53:20,406
So you do not plan on
informing His Majesty of your return.
569
00:53:22,408 --> 00:53:26,036
Nothing good will come of
letting him know.
570
00:53:28,622 --> 00:53:29,832
What will you do now?
571
00:53:31,083 --> 00:53:32,709
After I see Her Highness and Bun-yeong
572
00:53:32,793 --> 00:53:34,837
safely return to their respective posts,
573
00:53:35,629 --> 00:53:37,047
I will leave again.
574
00:53:38,340 --> 00:53:39,341
Until then,
575
00:53:40,592 --> 00:53:42,386
please do not tell anyone.
576
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:23,427
My greetings to you, Your Majesty.
577
00:54:24,178 --> 00:54:25,596
My name is Bun-yeong.
578
00:54:27,514 --> 00:54:30,225
It must have been very difficult for you.
579
00:54:32,519 --> 00:54:35,772
Your detailed reports
on the Qing royal family
580
00:54:35,856 --> 00:54:37,774
benefited me greatly.
581
00:54:38,901 --> 00:54:41,445
I did not consider my task
to be a difficult one.
582
00:54:42,112 --> 00:54:45,532
Ever since you executed your kin,
the Principal Director,
583
00:54:46,033 --> 00:54:48,327
Prince Rui began to fear you.
584
00:54:48,869 --> 00:54:52,498
"There is nothing stronger than a monarch
who has won the people's hearts."
585
00:54:52,581 --> 00:54:53,874
He spoke thusly
586
00:54:53,957 --> 00:54:57,377
and recognized Joseon as a nation
the Qing could no longer meddle with.
587
00:55:02,549 --> 00:55:03,592
Indeed.
588
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:08,597
I shall reward you.
589
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,099
You may request anything you would like.
590
00:55:15,395 --> 00:55:19,900
Though I have committed a grave crime
of taking Her Highness's place,
591
00:55:19,983 --> 00:55:21,818
you have forgiven my crime
592
00:55:21,902 --> 00:55:23,320
and spared no effort
593
00:55:23,403 --> 00:55:26,573
to have me return safely
after Prince Rui's sudden demise.
594
00:55:27,824 --> 00:55:30,369
You have already shown me
great generosity, Your Majesty.
595
00:55:31,745 --> 00:55:33,288
I do not wish for more.
596
00:55:34,623 --> 00:55:35,999
I am proud of you.
597
00:55:37,709 --> 00:55:39,920
I will never forget your contribution.
598
00:55:46,593 --> 00:55:49,137
Please give my thanks to the Emperor
599
00:55:50,097 --> 00:55:52,933
for the safe repatriation
of Princess Jangryeong.
600
00:55:56,311 --> 00:55:59,189
He asks you to convey his gratitude
to the Emperor.
601
00:56:01,149 --> 00:56:04,152
Now that you have your princess back,
602
00:56:04,236 --> 00:56:05,988
it is your turn to return the favor.
603
00:56:06,071 --> 00:56:10,158
When will you send back the criminal
who committed a crime against the Emperor?
604
00:56:13,912 --> 00:56:14,913
Wait.
605
00:56:15,414 --> 00:56:18,375
Who is the envoy referring to?
606
00:56:19,084 --> 00:56:21,587
The criminal?
607
00:56:22,254 --> 00:56:23,797
He did not mention this yesterday.
608
00:56:26,049 --> 00:56:28,530
He is asking when you will relinquish
the criminal to his care.
609
00:56:28,594 --> 00:56:29,886
I will do so now.
610
00:56:32,681 --> 00:56:33,724
Take him.
611
00:56:36,310 --> 00:56:37,352
Arrest the criminal.
612
00:56:38,145 --> 00:56:39,229
Your Majesty.
613
00:56:39,896 --> 00:56:41,231
No!
614
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,487
A criminal?
615
00:56:48,614 --> 00:56:50,407
I, a criminal?
616
00:56:51,575 --> 00:56:52,575
Your Majesty.
617
00:56:53,243 --> 00:56:55,370
There must be a misunderstanding.
618
00:56:56,121 --> 00:56:57,122
No.
619
00:56:57,205 --> 00:56:59,416
This is a command
from the Emperor of the Great Qing.
620
00:56:59,958 --> 00:57:01,668
Heed well, Criminal Jung Je-pyo.
621
00:57:01,752 --> 00:57:03,837
"Evidence surfaced
that proves that Prince Rui
622
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,131
had plotted treason
before his sudden death.
623
00:57:06,715 --> 00:57:09,277
Prince Rui's loyal subject, Jung Je-pyo,
shall return immediately,
624
00:57:09,301 --> 00:57:11,970
confess his crime before the Emperor,
and receive his punishment."
625
00:57:13,305 --> 00:57:14,305
Take him.
626
00:57:16,850 --> 00:57:18,518
Your Majesty.
627
00:57:18,602 --> 00:57:20,395
Let me go!
628
00:57:21,396 --> 00:57:22,396
Let me go!
629
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:24,358
Your Majesty!
630
00:57:24,942 --> 00:57:25,942
Your Majesty!
631
00:57:31,406 --> 00:57:32,616
Your Majesty.
632
00:57:34,284 --> 00:57:35,911
I am a man of Joseon
633
00:57:37,037 --> 00:57:39,414
and your loyal subject.
634
00:57:40,207 --> 00:57:43,961
The Emperor of the Qing
has no right to punish me.
635
00:57:44,044 --> 00:57:45,712
Do you not agree?
636
00:57:48,173 --> 00:57:51,343
It has been countless years
since you have not been a man of Joseon
637
00:57:52,803 --> 00:57:54,304
but a man of Qing.
638
00:58:01,853 --> 00:58:04,690
You told me those very words years ago.
639
00:58:05,899 --> 00:58:07,192
Have you forgotten already?
640
00:58:08,527 --> 00:58:11,113
The horrific deaths met by Joseon's people
641
00:58:11,697 --> 00:58:14,950
and the cruel treatment
suffered by the captives
642
00:58:15,450 --> 00:58:18,537
are solely on Joseon's King and its court.
643
00:58:19,329 --> 00:58:22,624
I have been the Great Qing's loyal subject
for many years now,
644
00:58:22,708 --> 00:58:24,960
but I cannot hold my head high
645
00:58:25,544 --> 00:58:27,546
from the shame
of being formerly of Joseon.
646
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:35,012
Your Majesty…
647
00:58:38,056 --> 00:58:39,141
Your Majesty.
648
00:58:40,017 --> 00:58:44,521
I have committed
an unforgivable crime against you.
649
00:58:45,022 --> 00:58:46,606
Please.
650
00:58:46,690 --> 00:58:51,570
I plead with you to punish me instead.
651
00:58:52,070 --> 00:58:55,198
Please do not hand me over
to these outlanders.
652
00:58:55,282 --> 00:58:56,324
Please, Your Majesty.
653
00:59:02,456 --> 00:59:05,167
I sincerely wish
that I could punish you myself.
654
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:09,379
It is unfortunate that I cannot…
655
00:59:13,508 --> 00:59:15,969
as you were never my subject.
656
00:59:20,432 --> 00:59:21,432
Your Majesty.
657
00:59:28,815 --> 00:59:30,233
Your Majesty.
658
00:59:34,613 --> 00:59:36,573
Your Majesty!
659
00:59:36,656 --> 00:59:37,783
Take him away.
660
00:59:39,493 --> 00:59:40,535
Your Majesty!
661
00:59:41,161 --> 00:59:42,662
Save me!
662
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:46,166
Save me, Your Majesty!
663
00:59:47,042 --> 00:59:50,170
Your Majesty, please!
664
00:59:50,253 --> 00:59:51,546
Your Majesty!
665
00:59:56,093 --> 00:59:57,427
You did so well.
666
00:59:58,428 --> 01:00:00,055
I am so proud of you.
667
01:00:00,555 --> 01:00:02,015
You did great.
668
01:00:03,225 --> 01:00:07,562
I will not go anywhere
and live with you and Father.
669
01:00:08,563 --> 01:00:09,856
Stop crying.
670
01:00:09,940 --> 01:00:12,943
Why are you crying
on such a happy occasion?
671
01:00:13,026 --> 01:00:14,194
My goodness.
672
01:00:14,778 --> 01:00:17,072
Let us all head inside.
673
01:00:17,155 --> 01:00:20,158
I am going to prepare a feast tonight.
674
01:00:20,242 --> 01:00:21,242
Gladly.
675
01:00:25,205 --> 01:00:26,498
His Majesty charged me
676
01:00:26,581 --> 01:00:31,294
to grant Bun-yeong and the two of you
a large residence and great fortune.
677
01:00:31,878 --> 01:00:34,881
If you so wish,
he will award you a government post.
678
01:00:35,423 --> 01:00:36,423
My goodness.
679
01:00:37,008 --> 01:00:39,052
Such a suggestion alone
fills me with gratitude.
680
01:00:39,136 --> 01:00:40,220
Unfortunately,
681
01:00:40,303 --> 01:00:43,682
I have lived my entire life as a shoemaker
682
01:00:43,765 --> 01:00:45,809
and I intend to live as one
for the rest of my life.
683
01:00:45,892 --> 01:00:48,603
The residence, fortune,
and the government post
684
01:00:48,687 --> 01:00:50,564
are of no use to me.
685
01:00:50,647 --> 01:00:53,441
On top of that,
if Lord Kang returns from Beijing,
686
01:00:53,942 --> 01:00:55,402
he will require my services.
687
01:00:55,485 --> 01:00:58,697
I wish to stay here in case that happens.
688
01:00:59,948 --> 01:01:01,366
Right. What about Bun-yeong?
689
01:01:01,867 --> 01:01:05,912
If you have a wish,
ask His Majesty for it.
690
01:01:05,996 --> 01:01:07,747
He will probably grant it.
691
01:01:08,832 --> 01:01:11,835
No, Father.
I will follow your will as well.
692
01:01:14,838 --> 01:01:17,424
I understand.
I will convey your message to His Majesty.
693
01:01:19,259 --> 01:01:20,260
Let us go in.
694
01:01:25,557 --> 01:01:26,892
What will you do now?
695
01:01:30,645 --> 01:01:33,148
I will leave the capital upon daybreak.
696
01:01:34,232 --> 01:01:36,526
May I ask where you will be heading to?
697
01:01:38,445 --> 01:01:42,240
I am considering Master Choam's house,
a place where I have stayed before.
698
01:01:42,908 --> 01:01:44,159
I have no set plans
699
01:01:44,242 --> 01:01:46,578
for where I will go or what I will do
700
01:01:47,537 --> 01:01:48,872
after that.
701
01:01:51,458 --> 01:01:54,211
Wherever it may be,
please send word from time to time.
702
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,255
Sang-hyo is gravely worried about you.
703
01:01:59,299 --> 01:02:00,899
Do not look forward to it all that much.
704
01:02:38,171 --> 01:02:39,256
Hey.
705
01:02:40,924 --> 01:02:42,634
What has you so deep in thought?
706
01:02:43,260 --> 01:02:45,595
Let us head inside
for the morning assembly.
707
01:02:45,679 --> 01:02:48,723
There will not be one,
so there is no need to.
708
01:02:49,349 --> 01:02:50,684
What do you mean by that?
709
01:02:51,851 --> 01:02:54,437
I was wondering where you two were.
710
01:02:57,816 --> 01:02:59,276
I am going home,
711
01:02:59,359 --> 01:03:01,079
so if anyone looks for me,
tell them I left.
712
01:03:01,152 --> 01:03:04,281
Are you not attending
the assembly, Great Lord?
713
01:03:05,198 --> 01:03:06,616
Have you not heard the news?
714
01:03:07,450 --> 01:03:10,203
His Majesty has suddenly postponed it.
715
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:16,251
Myung-ha.
716
01:03:16,918 --> 01:03:19,045
How did you know
His Majesty would postpone it?
717
01:03:22,882 --> 01:03:24,175
Here he goes again.
718
01:03:44,988 --> 01:03:47,157
Give that to me. I will carry it.
719
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,243
No, it is fine. This is nothing.
720
01:03:51,494 --> 01:03:53,204
Then let us rest there.
721
01:04:14,351 --> 01:04:16,061
There is not a single speck of cloud.
722
01:04:16,728 --> 01:04:18,646
That is fortunate.
723
01:04:19,189 --> 01:04:22,317
This journey would be harder if it rained.
724
01:04:26,613 --> 01:04:27,822
It is fortunate indeed.
725
01:04:31,618 --> 01:04:33,286
Stay here, my lady.
726
01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:36,998
I am going to look for a spring
and get some water.
727
01:04:37,082 --> 01:04:38,625
Be safe.
728
01:04:38,708 --> 01:04:39,708
All right.
729
01:06:19,184 --> 01:06:20,185
Your Majesty.
730
01:06:20,268 --> 01:06:22,103
What took you so long?
731
01:06:22,187 --> 01:06:24,397
I have been waiting for you for hours.
732
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:28,485
Did you know
733
01:06:29,944 --> 01:06:31,821
I would come by this place?
734
01:06:49,672 --> 01:06:52,008
There is nothing I do not know about you.
735
01:06:56,971 --> 01:06:58,806
Myung-ha told me
736
01:06:59,641 --> 01:07:01,559
that you would pass by this place.
737
01:07:06,689 --> 01:07:09,734
Were you truly planning to leave
without seeing me?
738
01:07:16,783 --> 01:07:17,867
Do not tell me…
739
01:07:19,244 --> 01:07:21,037
you have found another lover.
740
01:07:25,500 --> 01:07:27,877
I have no room for another.
741
01:07:31,589 --> 01:07:32,757
How is it
742
01:07:33,424 --> 01:07:35,009
that you are still alone, Your Majesty?
743
01:07:35,510 --> 01:07:38,388
What do you mean? I was never alone.
744
01:07:41,474 --> 01:07:42,642
I always had you…
745
01:07:44,477 --> 01:07:46,271
in my heart, Mong-woo.
746
01:07:51,568 --> 01:07:52,569
To tell the truth,
747
01:07:54,362 --> 01:07:55,738
I thought a mongwoo
748
01:07:57,615 --> 01:08:00,618
just might grant me a chance to see you.
749
01:08:00,702 --> 01:08:04,539
So you were planning to wait
until there was rain?
750
01:08:04,622 --> 01:08:06,499
And here I was, dying to see you.
751
01:08:09,419 --> 01:08:11,379
I guess you did not miss me as much.
752
01:08:18,886 --> 01:08:20,305
Whether mongwoo,
753
01:08:21,014 --> 01:08:22,307
snow,
754
01:08:24,058 --> 01:08:27,770
sprinkle, or leaves fall from the sky,
it does not matter anymore.
755
01:08:30,690 --> 01:08:33,151
I will no longer wait for you…
756
01:08:36,529 --> 01:08:38,050
while aimlessly looking up at the sky.
757
01:09:15,026 --> 01:09:16,069
Bollocks.
758
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,364
What took you so long?
759
01:09:19,906 --> 01:09:20,990
Lady Hee-soo
760
01:09:21,741 --> 01:09:24,577
has waited dearly for His Majesty.
761
01:09:29,499 --> 01:09:30,583
I am sorry.
762
01:09:35,046 --> 01:09:36,339
Please do not cry.
763
01:09:39,217 --> 01:09:40,760
Why are you crying?
764
01:09:43,221 --> 01:09:46,766
Because I could not be any happier!
765
01:10:25,638 --> 01:10:26,723
Prepare yourself.
766
01:10:28,266 --> 01:10:29,851
I will beat you this time
767
01:10:29,934 --> 01:10:32,103
and have you say your name.
768
01:10:36,858 --> 01:10:38,317
It is Kang Hee-soo.
769
01:10:56,169 --> 01:10:57,378
Kang Hee-soo.
770
01:11:03,593 --> 01:11:07,180
So that is the name that I longed for
and sought after even in my dreams.
771
01:11:10,892 --> 01:11:11,934
Hee-soo.
772
01:11:14,228 --> 01:11:15,396
I will no longer
773
01:11:16,397 --> 01:11:17,940
be separated from you
774
01:11:20,735 --> 01:11:22,779
and spend the rest of my life with you.
775
01:13:02,295 --> 01:13:07,300
