(THE FOLLOWING IS A FICTION STAGED IN THE PAST.)

(IT IS UNRELATED TO EVENTS IN HISTORY.)

- His Majesty is... - No need to let them know.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Hello.

"When the cock crows..."

"and you're awake, brush your teeth,"

"comb your hair and don your robes and cap."

"Then open your books and enter the presence..."

"of the sages and wise men."

"Confucius is seated,"

"and Yan Hui and Zengzi attend before and behind."

A scholar must sit erect,

compose his body and recollect his mind...

as luminous as the rising sun.

Seeing the Crown Prince focusing on his study...

warms my heart.

My goodness.

What did that mean in the book...

- about dressing properly? - "Dressing properly?"

(DON YOUR ROBES AND CAP.)

Do not...

Do not mock me for asking something simple.

It even says to laugh three times.

(LAUGH THREE TIMES.)

How can they be doing this? This is ridiculous!

Your Majesty!

We don't deserve your mercy!

That... That loser.

You should teach your pupil,

not pretend to teach.

You shouldn't pretend.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

My goodness.

It was a joke.

You did nothing wrong.

The wind is at fault for appearing without warning.

Your Highness,

what is that?

A paper that flies through the sky.

It's an air-paper.

- Hello! - Hi!

Have a great day!

Who's that young man that everyone makes a fuss?

What? You don't know who that is?

He's born to succeed. He's meant to be big.

He'd do anything for money!

He is Sam Nom!

"Your eyes are as brilliant as black pearls."

"Your nose is as sharp as the crescent moon."

"Your lips are red like a pomegranate"?

Who is it?

Who is seducing my sister with these terrible lies?

I don't know, Your Highness.

I only pick up the letter...

that's placed at the promised time and location.

"I want to meet you before the end of spring."

"May I wait under the tree in Mount Mongmyeok?"

Go to Mount Mongmyeok...

You must go to Mount Mongmyeok today on his behalf.

That's right.

Did she reply that she also wants to meet?

Her class is way too...

It's impossible since she's too high-class.

- You must take care of it. - That's right.

What do you mean I should take care of it?

I wrote the letters on behalf of you,

but I thought your feelings were sincere toward her.

Was I wrong?

I wondered how high-class she was,

but it was a man.

Your letter touched my heart.

Especially this part. As I was reading this part, I got so...

emotional.

When you feel that way, you should just cry.

What?

It's okay. I understand everything.

Why did you want to meet me?

You must know that all of this is pointless.

How can you stop your feelings just because you're not allowed...

to love each other?

Instead of staying here like this,

let's forget all the biases in this world today...

and make a memory that we'll remember forever.

Let's go.

Welcome.

- Oh, no. - Goodness. What an idiot.

Clean it up, you fool.

Gosh, that was hilarious.

Why are you laughing over such harsh curse words?

Goodness, you're being ridiculous.

That was hardly a curse word.

It's love that reminds you of your grandmother.

I mean, that's how people live.

My grandmother never used to say swear words like that.

I see you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

- Silver spoon? - Yes.

It means you were born in a wealthy family...

and lived a very comfortable life.

Come with me.

I must find out which family you come from.

Wait. I'm going to relieve myself here.

Are you going to watch me?

You can do it with me if you want.

Ouch, my back...

What are you trying to do?

- Are you injured at all? - I'm asking why you pushed me.

Well... It's...

Snake.

Do you want me to break your neck or what?

A snake!

- Get down on your hands and knees. - What?

I'll pull you up from above, so get down.

Push me up first.

- Then I'll pull you up... - Get down.

- I'll go up first. - Get down!

Let's just stay here together. Someone will pass by one day.

I'm sure somebody will pass by.

- Gosh, seriously! - Goodness!

I'm going up... I'm out.

Look.

Go find a branch or something.

What are you thinking now?

Silver Spoon. I'll send someone to help you shortly.

You!

How dare you do this to me?

Do you think you can handle the consequence?

Yes. I'll do anything you want if we meet again.

If you want me to be your dog, I'll be your dog.

I'm deeply sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Wait!

Hey. Wait!

If we give one to the hungry rioters,

they would ask for tens and hundreds more.

In the end, it won't be just the rice storage.

They'll try to invade your palace.

There could be an assassin coming into your room...

just like 10 years ago.

You still have difficulty sleeping through the night.

Please don't doubt my loyalty, Your Majesty.

Please entrust all the affairs to me,

and focus on staying healthy.

Are there any other questions, Your Majesty?

No.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Finally, he has paid off all his debt.

What are you planning on doing with me?

Listen to me.

It's true that I sold you,

but don't forget. I assure you...

it's much better this way than that way.

Gosh, seriously. Where are you selling me?

Open this. Please open the door!

Excuse me. What...

What... What is this place?

The Office of Eunuch Attendants!

This is a place where we make boys eunuchs.

You make them what?

Eunuch.

You'll have to be prepared.

After a simple test in the morning, the torturous training begins.

Who are you?

Silver Spoon?

Master Jung?

Oh, boy.

It's nice to see you,

Puppy.

You made it out safely.

Silver Spoon. Slap me.

Just slap me and let's forget that day ever happened.

It's not nice to hit a puppy.

You need to be nice and play with it.

I'll be seeing you around,

Puppy. Go on.

Go on.

Attention.

Eunuchs...

have the important role of managing...

the royal family's household affairs.

We share...

a common fate to protect the royal family.

If...

you do anything to disgrace...

the reputation and tradition of the eunuchs,

you must pay...

with your life.

Do not forget that!

Yes, Master!

Pass.

Undress.

Pass.

Pass.

What are you doing? Take off your pants.

Pardon?

This is bad.

The royal physician said to come. The Queen has fainted!

What?

- Let's go. - Yes, Master.

Master.

Master!

You need to finish this first.

- Hong Sam Nom. - Yes?

More than half is on "Pass", so you pass. Here.

- Pardon? - Take it.

Thank you.

Are they trying to kill me or save me?

What did you do that the elders hate you already?

That is where you will reside for the time being.

Jahyeondang.

(JAHYEONDANG)

Who lives...

there?

Nobody lives there.

Byung Yun, are you inside?

Puppy?

Do you know him?

How was your trip?

It was not bad.

I heard...

the Queen is pregnant.

Is everyone talking about it?

Perhaps, you should stop...

coming here for a while.

Do you think...

I'll be safe if I stay quiet?

This is no place for a eunuch trainee.

Return to your lodge.

There is no room for me there anyway,

thanks to somebody.

But...

who exactly are you?

Are you a palace guard or a eunuch?

You keep showing up everywhere.

And who are you?

Are you a ghost who lives here?

How dare you try to touch him?

Pardon?

It's okay, Chief Kim.

Goodness.

Look here.

Silver Spoon met a new lover...

and is so happy now.

Our poor Master Jung...

Chief Kim.

What is the best for a disobedient puppy?

I need more drinks.

- Strict training... - Right?

Like this.

Roll to the left. To the right.

Sit.

Stand!

Bark!

This is how you do it.

That's right. I'm leaving the palace anyway.

Why should I refrain myself?

Oh my goodness.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - This is for you.

- Congratulations. - Please take this.

What should we do here?

Right. You help cook jeon.

You go help them cook over there. Go on.

Master Sung, you're here.

- Good work. - Well...

We need you to help cook chickens, too.

Good. We have one person left.

You take up the job.

Go around and you'll find a door to the mountain.

Yes, Master.

Is the chicken coop in the mountain?

You'll see when you get there.

I'm tired of this.

I wish I were struck by lightning.

My wish came true...

after all.

- Let's have a toast. - Let's do that.

Look how happy they are.

You need to drink when you feel happy.

They are not happy because they are drunk.

They are happy because they became...

your people now.

Those who couldn't pass the gate made a line that's as long as 4km.

Naturally, they should be happy.

Listen, everyone.

I hope you enjoy yourselves...

under the beautiful tree.

Let's have a toast.

My goodness!

What are you waiting for? Go catch him!

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

Put down your swords.

He is the Crown Prince.

Your Highness.

What brought you out of the palace?

I can't miss any feast with drinks and music.

The Queen's baby...

is my younger sibling.

Is it weird that I want to celebrate it with you?

Thank you, Your Highness.

Why are you all so serious when you're having a feast?

We had an unwelcome visitor who caused a commotion.

How can we blame the officials for the people's poverty?

The King who couldn't control the officials is to blame.

It was just a joke.

You all look so serious.

Now, let's celebrate the Queen's pregnancy.

Would you pour me a glass?

Your Highness.

May I pour you a glass of wine?

It's been a while.

Yes, Your Highness.

I meant to visit you upon returning from Qing.

You didn't have to.

You and I are not that close.

You are still a bad liar.

And you are still cold towards me.

Does that bother you?

I can't say it doesn't.

- You were my... - I was your friend.

He's better than the Crown Prince to be a crown prince.

The only thing Yoon Sung isn't better than him is...

the fact that he was born in the Kim Family.

That is all.

(8 YEARS AGO)

So what did you think?

I could read the charisma of a royal family member.

However...

There is one thing...

What is it? You can tell me.

Actually,

he's destined to die young.

I also felt an uncommon energy...

from one of his friends.

He has the face of someone who is destined to become a sage king.

He was wearing a headgear embroidered with a crane...

Tell no one what you just told me.

Or else, you'll lose your life. Do you understand?

Yes, my lord.

Do you know what it is?

It's a rare chicken from Premier Kim's house.

Premier Kim?

Put it away.

Gosh. You still don't know how to appreciate a gift.

What did you say?

It seems you're upset about something.

Here. Feeling hungry when you're upset makes you even more miserable.

Do you feel miserable when you're hungry?

Not everyone feels the same as you.

Don't judge other people by your lowly standards.

I've never been hungry before.

You may have never been hungry before,

but it looks like you've been heartbroken many times.

What?

It's easy to help those who are hungry.

But it's hard to console...

those who are heartbroken...

because they tend to pretend that they're okay.

That's enough.

How about sharing affection...

with someone rich in heart?

All right. The richest person in heart...

across the entire country is me. I give you this...

as a piece of affection.

Are you Hong Sam Nom?

Did you really write this?

This... This is...

How dare you...

mock me by writing a love letter on another's behalf?

How dare someone like you...

How dare you mock me, the Princess?

Pardon?

The Princess?

I've committed a mortal sin!

So you know.

Your Highness!

Yes.

I will kill you as you request.

Stop.

Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU

Your Highness!

You will hurt your hand.

Give it to me.

Young.

What are you doing?

Drag him to the Department of Justice!

- Yes, Your Highness! - Yes, Your Highness!

Please do not do that!

I don't want things to get blown out of proportion.

Then...

What should we do about him?

Will you feel better if you kill him here?

You're not someone who can harm others.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

I sincerely apologise.

I didn't think that writing love letters on someone's behalf...

could hurt another's feelings so much like this.

I really didn't know.

I apologise...

from the bottom of my heart.

Everyone is at his feet and he can have everything,

but he looks as though he longs for something.

"How could a lowly man like myself fill that void?"

You may have never been hungry before,

but it looks like you've been heartbroken many times.

All right.

The richest person in the heart across the entire country...

is me. I give you this...

as a piece of affection.

Your Highness, I can stamp it myself.

You don't have to check it...

"Pass"?

What brings you here, Silver Spoon?

What about you?

What are you doing here?

I'm working.

But seriously,

what exactly do you do?

- Do you wish to know? - I do.

You went from a eunuch to a palace guard.

And now, you look like a playboy.

Be careful, Silver Spoon.

Of what?

You might upset the higher masters...

for playing so much.

I am concerned as a friend, so heed my warning.

You're so thick-headed.

A friend?

Since when were you and I, friends?

If we are not friends, what are we?

Master and Puppy.

Will you stop calling me Puppy?

I'm Hong...

I have a name. Hong Sam Nom.

Do you call Sam Nom a name?

Silver Spoon.

What about you? What is your name?

What is a boy doing with these?

You are so strange.

I don't like it at all.

What are you...

Goodness. If you don't want to tell me, just say so.

(LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT)

This is a letter to the King.

Please relay it to the eunuch at the Daejeon.

Yes, Your Highness.

This is my last job of the day.

Should I just do as I was told?

- Are you all right? - Watch where you're going.

I apologise.

- These are appeals for His Majesty. - I am...

Your Highness, I heard His Majesty took long...

to write his response after reading your letter.

(CONSORT PARK)

Is that true?

Yes, I am positive, Your Highness.

I even smell the nice scent in the letter.

Your Highness.

I guess...

I should stop bothering him now.

He must have wanted...

to relay...

his thoughts clearly through you.

What are all these?

They are letters that Consort Park...

asked me to destroy.

Were you the courier of the letters?

(THE COURIER OF THE LETTERS)

His Majesty is so mean.

How can he always send...

blank responses to her letters?

These are not His Majesty's responses.

Consort Park's letters never reach him anyway.

Not this time.

His Majesty ordered me directly to deliver it to her.

If he were going to send the same blank letter,

why did he call me personally?

Why do you think he did that?

How did you deliver her letter to him?

Well,

I sneaked it into one of the appeals.

And yet, he sent...

a blank letter?

Yes.

You nipped any little hope that remained...

in her.

Consort Park's health is not well.

Please visit her residence.

The Queen is sensitive because of her pregnancy.

I will wait for a good time...

and think it over.

What are you afraid of?

What are you so afraid of that you cannot do anything?

No.

You will not do anything.

You did the same...

when Mother passed away, too.

Father.

Why did Mother suddenly pass away?

The Queen...

passed away due to an unknown illness.

That is all.

I have heard what the palace workers are saying.

They say it was not an illness!

Who murdered Mother?

Young.

You must not say that out loud ever again. Understand?

Father.

Please uncover the truth.

Please find them.

Please punish those who hurt Mother!

Young!

You could not do anything.

You did not do anything and told me...

to just wait.

Even though nothing was going to change...

Even though it was useless,

you had to do something instead of shaking in fear.

Because you are...

the King of Joseon.

Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU

Since she asked me to burn this,

I shouldn't keep it.

Why can't you burn it? It's not yours anyway.

I know.

It breaks my heart because it smells good.

- Are you saying it's scented paper? - Yes.

It smells like a sweet apple.

My goodness!

If you have something to say, please just say it.

How...

How did this happen?

Silver Spoon, I've figured it out.

The blank letter wasn't blank. It was a secret letter.

- What? - In any case,

I'll tell you later.

Hey.

Consort Park,

half of me hopes you'll read this letter.

The other half hopes you will never find out.

I am an incompetent king, a powerless husband...

and a faint-hearted father.

I beg for your forgiveness...

for expressing my feelings only this way.

Waiting for the day...

when you finally read the letter,

I go to Ae Ryun Garden...

where we used to walk around every single night.

I'm so glad...

Consort Park was able to find out...

about His Majesty's true feelings.

I wonder...

why the King tried to be so secretive.

His Majesty is the one who rules over the world.

What is there to hide or hesitate?

I have not realised it until now.

He is not only the King with a crown on his head,

but he is also the husband of his loving one...

and my father...

who cannot be replaced.

All you ever say is "It cannot be done, Your Majesty."

You always oppose my opinions.

You keep saying that what I say is all wrong.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

Hear me!

It is not my decision that you do not like.

You do not like my sitting on the throne.

- It isn't true, Your Majesty. - It isn't true, Your Majesty.

As you all may know,

our country is facing many difficulties...

due to my incompetency.

As I bemoan this situation,

the Crown Prince shall take the throne in the interim.

Crown Prince, tell me what you think.

I may appear...

to be a grown-up because of the attire,

but I am still a mere child.

Why are you giving hardship that I cannot handle...

when I am afraid to leave the nest?

Like father, like son.

Look how he's shaking in fear.

I feel sorry for him.

However, on second thought,

there is no reason...

I cannot do that.

Your Majesty.

It would be...

my great joy...

to obey your command.

Proceed with the Crown Prince's coronation!

- Your Majesty... - Aside from military forces,

the Crown Prince will...

- take over all authority... - Your Majesty.

Choosing an interim king is...

an important decision as the nation's reputation is on the line.

Thus we must receive...

approval by Qing.

Please understand, Your Majesty.

Please delay your decision, Your Majesty.

- Please revoke your royal command. - Please revoke your royal command.

Silver Spoon.

What are you doing here?

What about you?

I'm on an errand.

Have you seen the Crown Prince?

I heard he was in here.

What?

No.

Thank goodness.

I was so nervous.

What are you doing in here?

This is the library for the Crown Prince only.

Come out if you are done.

Come out now.

Yes, Master.

Silver Spoon.

You heard him, right? Let's go.

Only the Crown Prince can come in here.

What are you waiting for?

Let's go now.

Let's go before we run into the Crown Prince.

Why do you not tell him?

He'll find out eventually.

I am concerned as a friend,

so heed my warning.

A friend?

Since when were you and I, friends?

If we are not friends, what are we?

What about you? What is your name?

You asked...

what my name is.

Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU

Lee Young.

That is my name.

Silver Spoon.

This robe.

Look at this.

Isn't this the Crown Prince's robe?

Yes.

My gosh. What if someone sees?

This is a place only the Crown Prince comes to.

What...

How...

How...

Silver Spoon. How...

Your Highness! I have committed a mortal sin!

Goodness.

Do you mean it?

Pardon? No, Your Highness.

Please spare my life, Your Highness.

Shall I kill you or spare you?

Are those the only two options?

We are...

friends after all.

Excuse me?

Isn't that what you said?

You asked what we are if not friends.

When we are alone, you may...

continue to treat me as a friend.

How are you preparing for the reception of the envoys?

I was trained at the eunuch training institute in Qing.

I prepared every little thing...

from the beddings to all the food...

according to the envoys' preferences.

Your confidence makes me worry even more.

They are here.

(THANK YOU FOR COMING ALL THE WAY HERE.)

(WE WILL DO OUR UTMOST TO MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME.)

I am the envoy serving the Emperor's command.

I should be able to speak your language for diplomacy.

Of course.

It has been a long time.

Welcome.

You must be tired after a long journey.

This way, please.

(HE IS GREAT.)

Right before your performance begins,

a palanquin will be waiting at the back door.

Sneak out of Jagyeongjeon...

and get in the palanquin.

Excuse me.

What?

How could that happen?

I'll go look around.

- Oh, my gosh. - Goodness.

Goodness.

Oh, my. Eunuch Hong, you are unexpectedly sly.

He just barged in. I wonder what he wanted to see.

You are mistaken. I was looking for the dancer...

for the solo dance performance.

Do you mean Ae Shim?

- You are right. - She was right here just now.

Where?

Isn't this her stage outfit for her solo dance?

- Yes. - Yes.

This is her outfit, is it not?

Stand up.

You must be aware of the significance of...

the last performance.

Do your best to help him.

It is very important to him.

Many are trying to ruin the event. It must be hard.

But it's the King's birthday festival.

Who would dare to do that?

There are some people...

who are waiting...

to find fault with the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince prepared for this with all his heart,

but there seems to be a problem.

There is music without a dancer to dance to it.

My goodness. That is what I am saying.

It must be because of his lack of experience.

Please forgive him.

This amuses me.

Let us see how capable the Crown Prince of Joseon is...

to the end.

Mother, you are the Queen...

and I am the Crown Prince...

Why is that necessary?

Did someone say it is against the law...

if we walk barefoot in the rain?

Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU

There will be...

a celebratory speech for the King.

I cannot hide my joy...

that I was able to offer His Majesty...

a successful festival with music and dance.

Thus, I shall give someone the honour...

to give the speech full of all people's hearts.

Premier Kim.

Come and accept this honour.

"The King has edified us for 30 years."

"We congratulate on the King's birthday."

"May the King live as long as Mount Nam stands."

"The subjects have realised his great intentions."

"The King's greatness cannot be surpassed."

"We are moved by his grace and shout as follows."

"May the King remain the sole light of the East..."

"forever and ever."

You don't have to see blood to win.

Why would you need poison...

when you can kill with just honey?

It was not a feast to just eat and drink.

What do we do now?

He got us.

He totally got us this time.

Long live the King!

- Long live the King! - Long live the King!

Long live the King!

- Long live the King! - Long live the King!

Long live the King!

- Long live the King! - Long live the King!

Who is she?
