Madam...
Madam, she's only still an apprentice palace maid and she lost her judgement
when she saw a human being was dying.
Please have mercy on her this one time.
Quiet! Do you want to be cast out too? Is that what you want?
I don't want to see you anymore. So get out, all of you!
Now!
Madam...
Madam...
Chief Eunuch, I have a favor to ask of you.
I just heard about it a little earlier too.
I can't do anything about what the Chief Court Lady does. This is under her authority.
But you're the manager of the royal kitchens. That child had a situation where she had no other choice.
I can understand your heart that wants to protect your underlings, but
because of that I can't do something outside of my jurisdiction.
Then at least make it so that the Royal Guards will let go of this incident.
If we cast her out from here, that's the end of it. But Royal Guards will charge her for breaking into the palace.
Please prevent that at least.
She's lived in the palace for over 10 years.
Even if she is cast out, must she be cast out from the prison cells of the Royal Guards?
Let her be cast out from the room she's lived in for 10 years.
Okay, I will try to do that somehow.
Madam, this is something that happened because of me.
I lost the golden pheasant and I encouraged her to go out of the palace.
I lost the golden pheasant and I encouraged her to go out of the palace.
The Chief Court Lady will punish you separately.
I'll receive any punishment willingly
but please save Jang Geum. Jang Geum didn't leave the palace because she didn't know better.
Isn't the Chief Court Lady assuming that? Isn't that why she gave such an order?
Do you expect me to tell her everything including
that you went out, and because of you we had to
lie to the Head Court Lady to get the pass to go out and that we lost the golden pheasant, given by the Emperor?
Are you saying that we have to confess it all?!
But it all happened because of me.
Yes, the start was you, but it was Jang Geum's responsibility for not coming back on time.
Yes, the start was you, but it was Jang Geum's responsibility for not coming back on time.
You forget this matter now and don't think to make it a bigger deal
by telling anyone else about it, understand?
The Chief of the Royal Guards has decided to make the incident as if it didn't happen
since you told him that you'd cast her out yourself.
Please don't let this happen again.
Yes. Thank you.
Pack up and leave tomorrow morning when it's light.
Madam.
The way I feel right now, I'm holding back the urge to strike your calves until they bleed,
so don't say anything and leave.
Let's go.
I had a close friend when I was younger, in my palace maid years.
She was a child that was very curious and affectionate like you.
We had linked fingers promising each other to become the Head Court Lady of the Royal Kitchen through our combined efforts.
But while that child was helping someone she was framed
and she was cast out of the palace with the state of her life and death unknown.
At that time I couldn't be of any help to her.
None at all.
If she is still alive, that child even now somewhere,
she will be giving strength to someone. I've never once doubted that truth.
I'm sorry for not being able to help you.
Blame me...
Madam, please save Jang Geum.
Is someone killing her?!
It's the same thing as dying for her. Please save her, Madam...
I can't live without Jang Geum, either.
If you just save her, I'll do everything you ask. Madam... Madam...
Silence!
You have an iron heart. You taught us that
being faithful to a friend is as important as not betraying His Majesty.
You're being too harsh by doing this. Jang Geum was only trying to help Geum Young.
It's because of me.
It's my fault for not returning by the designated time. It was your job to bring
the golden pheasant to the palace on time, preparing the birthday table and you've superbly accomplished that.
Wait, Jang Geum! Wait!
Head Court Lady has taken back her order to cast you out of the palace.
But instead... instead...
You are to go to the herb garden.
Is that true?
Yes, Madam.
Why did she change her mind?
Actually, the Head Court Lady of the Royal Kitchen and Court Lady Han made a plea for her to the Chief Court Lady
and they both agreed not to receive payment for 3 years.
Madam...
The Chief Lady asked, "Will you two both give up being paid for the next 3 years?"
And they replied, "Yes." I'm going to serve the Court Lady Jung as my mother.
I don't know why they bothered.
Being expelled out of the palace and going to the herb garden are the same thing.
But she still remains as a palace maid at the herb garden.
Yes, I heard that it's a vegetable garden attached beside the palace.
They say that it's place where they try to grow rare medicinal herbs from the Ming Empire or other kingdoms to the west of Ming
So what about working there?
But I heard that only people who have committed crimes go there.
But you said they grow medicinal herbs there...
They do, but they've never succeeded once, and the people who work there have no interest.
They say that even the officials don't stop by there that often.
So there's no one who gets pushed out there that manages to make it back to the palace. In a word it's being thrown away.
Well, it is true that if she can't participate in the upcoming Competition,
she won't be able to become an official lady of the court.
Then she'll be working in the fields for the rest of her life as an apprentice palace maid.
Actually, seeing as how that child is of low birth she's only finding her path.
What did you say?!
So what are you going to do staring at me like that?!
You... will be hit by lightning. If you don't get struck by lightning,
I'll become the lightening and follow you for the rest of your life!
Because of me, you have...
Why do you cry so easily?
I can't do anything more, so from now on you have to take care of yourself.
You may think it's better than being cast out of the palace right this minute so your mind may be at ease,
but as you know already, for a palace maid
the herb garden is a place of abandonment.
And of course, you won't even be able to participate in the upcoming competition.
If you can't take part in the competition you won't be able to become an official palace maid.
Whether you'll throw away your diligence since you won't need to work diligently
or having been abandoned as a Palace Maid of the Royal Kitchen will you quit trying.
That's for you to decide.
I'll do no matter what it takes to make sure you can come back.
But as you know already,
for a Palace Maid the herb garden is a place of abandonment.
And of course, you won't be able to take part in the upcoming competition.
If you can't take part in the competition you won't be able to become a Palace Maid.
Whether you'll throw away your diligence since you won't need to work diligently
or having been abandoned as a Palace Maid of the Royal Kitchen will you quit trying.
That's for you to decide.
Is anyone here?
Who the...
Ouch. Aigoo, aigoo.
Hey, what are you all doing? It's snack time.
Let's go... wake up...
Go ahead and drink...
I'm a newly arrived Palace Maid from the Royal Kitchen.
Where's the overseer who's responsible for this place?
Overseer? Which overseer?
You seem to be workers here but
why are you drinking at this hour of the day instead of working?
Why? Do you want to join us for a glass?
What?
If you don't want to, then you could come pour us a glass.
Excuse me.
Why?
Do you know where the overseer is that's responsible for this place?
I'm not sure.
I'm a Palace Maid from the Royal Kitchen but since the overseer isn't here what should I do?
There are some palace maid's residences over there so you can stay there.
Wait. Aren't you a worker here?
I am.
Why is no one working in the fields
and why are the fields such a mess?
Work? What work? The only work here is killing time.
Then when can I see the Officer in Charge? (Byuljae)? [Byuljae - A noble man of Rank 6]
I haven't seen him for 3 months either.
When it's about time that you could forget, he does stop by once in a while, but even if he did come there's nothing to do.
Look here.
Look here. Look here.
You wretch!
You wretch! Get up right now!
Ah, cold! What the...!
Why you...
Even though I haven't gone through the ceremony, I'm a Palace Maid.
How is it that a servant laborer only drinks alcohol every day?!
Can't you get up right now and start working?!
Can't you take this hoe and get up immediately?!
Start by pulling out all the weeds here!
Why you ... those are medicinal herbs!
You told me to pull them out.
This is bupleurum falcatum. This is Polygonum multiflorum.
This is Lycoris radiata! And this is...
It's Napa Cabbage.
Napa?
It's good for inflammation of internal organs.
It clears the mind and it's good for constipation.
It's especially perfect for quenching thirst after a day of drinking.
For quenching thirst...
Why you...!
Pull all weeds out this instant and gather all laborers here by 1pm. (Mee is actually the time between 1-3pm)
Do you understand?!
Look here, look here... what's wrong?
Look here! Please help! Help! Please come quickly!
Look here, look here ... she fainted.
Look here. What happened to her?
Bring my acupuncture box quickly.
What are you doing? Bring it here right now!
Where...?
It's in that medicine storehouse. Hurry!
That's right. That's right. Vomit it out...
Pound her back. What are you doing? I told you to pound her back.
Move your hands.
That's right.
You can stop now. Move her inside.
And boil some beans and have her drink that water.
Is he a doctor?
Huh? That person is Clerk Jung. (Deputy Rank 6 - Deputy Rank 8 of noble birth)
Huh?
I didn't recognize you as the Clerk (Jooboo - low ranking noble) and I was rude. Please forgive me.
Then will you listen to me from now on?
Yes, go ahead and speak.
Don't do anything.
Huh?
Don't pace around here as if there's hope in this place.
Either sleep or drink all day. Just don't do anything.
Don't do anything.
Don't pace around here as if there's hope in this place.
Either sleep or drink all day. Just don't do anything.
Lt. General, is your arm all right?
Yes, My Lordship. I'm sorry for having caused you worry.
No. You're a civil servant of rank yet you work as a Royal Guard, training them
and doing special tasks when you're not on shift. You're working very hard.
Not at all.
So did you find them?
According to one of the Japanese men caught at Sampo, he said there were five spies sent to sketch
a map of the capital and palace. But we've only caught three of them so far.
The safety of the palace cannot be guaranteed until we catch the remaining two.
The Japanese have come in as far as inner land of Jeolla-Do.
Their action is very suspicious.
Yes.
But don't overwork yourself
and start again when you've completely recovered.
- Yes, sir. - Then...
Sir.
Did you look for her?
We've searched all over for the woman matching the description given by the physician,
but we couldn't find that kind of woman anywhere.
The Royal Food Services has called asking us to pick up the seeds.
Those darn, useless seeds.
I'll be back.
It's 2 nyang 5 don (unit of coins), right?
Yes, it's correct, Sir.
Your wife has to come for us to feel assured.
What do you mean?
You always give her less than what you receive from us, making us look like we swallowed the rest.
You always give her less than what you receive from us, making us look like we swallowed the rest.
Aigoo, how could that be, Sir?
Ahjussi.
Jang Geum! My heart crumbled when I heard you were sent to the vegetable garden.
Talk specifics outside later ... so where are you from?
I'm from the herb garden.
Herb garden ... I don't know why they keep sending these
to that place when they never succeed.
Sir, I'll treat you to a drink later.
Let's go.
Is your health all right?
Yes.
Is everyday life okay for you?
Yes.
Sleeping fine?
Eating well?
Why did you ever want to come into the palace? Look at your suffering now.
If you had just stayed home you could have met a nice man and married. Wouldn't it have been nice?
Did you happen to hear any news about the Royal Kitchen?
I do meet the Royal Kitchen Court Maids from time to time.
How are they doing?
They said that they were doing well.
I heard the girls who entered the palace at the same time as you are having a competition in 3 months or something like that.
So they're going nuts learning to cook now.
They said they have a competition in 3 months?
That's what they said.
Forget it. That's the best thing to do.
It's only one life either way.
No matter how great a person is, who has lived twice? Who?
There's no such person.
Hey, if possible it's worth doing. In the middle of the night...
...last night I was doing that ... I was breathless.
Have another glass.
Let's eat.
Why is this all?
I don't know. I just brought what they gave me.
There should be 2 nyang 5 don. Why are you giving me only this?
Really? Could that be?
Now you don't even bother to give any excuses and you're lying to my face.
Why? Now you don't even give that kind of effort?!
Okay, okay, I'll tell you!
I wasn't going to tell you this but I met Jang Geum at the Food Services today.
You did?
She's so thin and seemed very weak.
So I gave it to her to buy some rice cakes.
Really... she seemed that pitiful?
If wind blew, she could've flown away.
Why did she ever enter the palace in the first place?
I know... why did she? Why?!
Yes, I know, why ... and you think I'd be fooled like this?!
-Here! Here! It's here! It's coming out! -cough it up quickly!
Whose are you trying to rip off, whose?
Please take a look at these. Are these aquilaria agallocha seeds?
Yes, it seems so...
Please take a look at this Are these agastache seeds?
No.
Then are these it? Here.
Yes, that's right.
Take a look at these, too. Are these astragalus seeds?
Yes, that's correct.
Hey! What are you doing right now? I told you clearly not to do anything!
I can't do that.
What? You can't do that?
No.
How come?
You and I are being paid to do the work for the country
and if I don't even do this, I'll go crazy.
Though you may find comfort in hopelessness, I can't.
I must hang my hope on growing one bunch of medicinal herbs or one blade of grass!
"I'm nuts, so don't touch me."
I was like her at first. I caused a problem at the previous place and was chased out here.
For a few days I was planting seeds and watering them like a mad man.
That's right! You did.
Aigo, how bad must it have been for Court Lady Lee from the King's Palace to commit suicide!
Then, shall we make a bet on how many days she'll last?
That sounds good!
How about two bowls of rice wine?
Two bowls of rice wine? Okay, you're the witness.
Sure.
Atractylodes rhizome only grows in mountains. It's roots are used to stop diarrhea.
Atractylodes rhizome only grows in mountains. It's roots are used to stop diarrhea.
Dodder grows only in the middle of bean fields and are used to quench thirst.
Scallion is used for bronchitis, bowel problems, and rhino-sinusitis. But it's dangerous to use it with honey?
Scallion is used for bronchitis, bowel problems, and rhino-sinusitis. But it's dangerous to use it with honey?
Okay, so you shouldn't use scallion with honey.
Astragalus grows in plains and fields
and all parts of the herb are good for the body both internally and externally.
Yes, that's fine.
She's been going at it some time.
It's because she's still young.
She won't last a month, so just wait and see.
I think she'll last longer.
Anyway, if you lose, you have to buy the rice wine!
Is there any other way to plant the seeds other than to cover with dirt?
There are many ways. You can throw them in a line on the ridges,
or you can throw them on the furrows.
As for the depth there are ones you just throw or some you cover lightly with dirt.
There are ones that you bury deep also.
That's weird, then how come they only spread these on top of the dirt all these years?
That's probably how the Ming Empire did it.
What is it anyway?
Astragalus seeds.
We've been trying it for 20 years but it doesn't grow here!
It'd be good if we can grow it in this kingdom. Astragalus is used in all types
of medicines because it's good for your body inside and out!
Why don't you be a doctor, then?
Everyone knows what astragalus root is because of what happened.
What happened?
People thought sophora flower was astragalus
so they put that in their tonics.
An envoy went to the Ming Empire during the previous King's time
and he told the people that it wasn't astragalus
so they couldn't put in sophora,
and since we don't know how to grow astragalus, the price went through the roof.
So how would you feel to know its efficacy and yet not be able to afford it?
So how would you feel to know its efficacy and yet not be able to afford it?
It's that expensive?
Of course! The price is whatever the seller wants.
Then we should grow it here.
Like I said, we've been trying it for 20 years but it doesn't grow!
Then I'll use this.
Use what?
Use it as my goal. I'll set my goal to grow this astragalus herb.
Why?
You said it's hard.
What is she saying?
โช Would you come, would you come, would you be coming? โช
โช Would you go, would you go, would you be going? โช
โช I wait, I wait, but we cannot play. โช
โช We cannot, we cannot, no, we cannot be. โช
โช Eh-ya, dee-ya, eh-ya, Nananiyo, You cannot come, so take me instead. โช
โช Eh-ya, dee-ya, eh-ya, Nananiyo, You cannot come, so take me instead. โช
โช We cannot, we cannot, no, we cannot be. โช
Wait!
What is it?
Aren't these...
-Aren't those astragalus sprouts?! -Yes, they are!
Here too!
Over here too!
-It's astragalus! It's something to celebrate... -Astragalus!
Excuse me. Where should I pull out the weeds?
And where should I?
This has always failed too but where should I plant these?
Me too, can I have about 2 roots worth, what do you think...?
And I'll can take this crooked one!
Food Services had extra seeds, so I brought them here.
And a Royal Kitchen Palace Maid gave me this to hand to you
when I told her I came from the herb garden.
Jang Geum, are you well? We're all doing fine.
I'm begging the Court Lady Jung to bring you back, so just wait.
Everyone is working hard preparing for the competition.
Dried seaweed should have big leaves and darker ones are better.
And it can't become too easily broken into pieces when put in water.
For Cucumbers, there should be bumps sharp enough to almost hurt when you run your fingers across them for it to be good.
It should be dark and shiny.
I'm not sure what will happen to you, but I'm sending you my notes in the thoughts of being together with you
so don't give up and keep training for it.
Male octopus has softer skin and tastes better than a female one.
If the size of the sucking-disks on the legs are in an orderly fashion
then it's a male, if not, it's a female.
You can tell a clam's freshness if you hold one in each hand and strike them together and it makes a clear sound.
You can tell a clam's freshness if you hold one in each hand and strike them together and it makes a clear sound.
The thorn from the tip of an eggplant should be sharp enough to pierce your finger...
Palace Maiden! Palace Maiden! There's big trouble!
Palace Maiden, come on over here quickly!
Just look at these!
What wretch did this?!
I know, if I catch this wretch I'm going to break his legs!
Even though we're outside of the palace, we're attached right next to the palace
so it's hard for regular people to come in from outside. Is it not one of us?
Are you saying that we did this?!
No, that's not exactly what I'm saying...
It's the same thing!
Now that I think about it, you're suspicious. Us men are people that leave after our work is done.
Only you and the Palace Maiden remain here.
And of course the Palace Maiden wouldn't have done this!
What?! Then are you saying I did this?!
Stop it!
That's enough. You shouldn't be suspicious of each other.
It was probably an animal.
But it doesn't seem like an animal did it.
I know! Shouldn't you tell the Officer in Charge and have the Royal Judiciary Office catch the culprit?!
Why are you looking at me again?!
When did I ever look at you?!
That's enough. We can just plant the seeds again.
Palace Maiden, what are we going to do now?
โช Would you come, would you come, would you be coming? โช
โช Would you go, would you go, would you be going? โช
โช I wait, I wait, but we cannot play. โช
โช We cannot, we cannot, no, we cannot be. โช
What are you doing here?
I thought it was strange last time so I was standing guard.
But what are you doing here, Sir? You should have left the palace by now.
I came because I was curious too.
Sir... who is it?
It's you?
Why did you do it? Tell us why you did it!
If you've worked here over 10 years, you should know better...
You'll know what kind of herbs they are and how important they are.
So why did you do it?
That's enough. It looks like he's determined not to speak,
so I'll tell the Field Manager tomorrow and it seems like he'll have to be passed to the Royal Judiciary Office to talk.
You go back and get some rest now.
You can leave now.
Why did you do it? Tell me.
I know what hardships your family is suffering.
If you had stolen them and sold them I'd understand.
But having raked them upside down I can't understand it. Why did you do it?
I've done a terrible thing against you and the Palace Maiden.
So?
I was going to be merciful if you had a situation but there's no other way it seems!
Except but to turn you over to the Officer in Charge.
Okay, I'll take care of it, so you can go back now.
Sir, this is a medicinal herb that the Court has been waiting for a long time now.
If he has raked over such a precious herb,
I believe that he should be turned over to the Royal Judiciary Office and be investigated.
I said I got it...
And I couldn't report it last time because it was all raked over
but Palace Maid Jang Geum had succeeded in growing astragalus after much effort.
We ought to report this to the court quickly.
How long has it been since you came to the herb garden?
A little under a year now.
They were able to grow astragalus to that point from time to time
but it's something they couldn't grow any further due to insects or rot and we were unsuccessful.
If we make a report now and you can't succeed later
how do you expect to handle the aftermath?
Let me know when they grow more.
Yes.
And how were you still there until so late,
in that place where there were only palace maids?
Huh?
According to the law, all men without night-shift jobs must leave the palace at sunset, so why did you
According to the law, all men without night-shift jobs must leave the palace at sunset.
What kind of absurd activity is that even if it's an herb garden?
I'll let this go this time but don't ever let it happen again!
Do you understand?
Yes.
You can go back now!
Sir.
What happened? Did you turn him in to the Royal Judiciary Office?
The officer in charge will do that. And I guess we'll find the reason later.
And Food Services said more seeds came in, so you can pick them up.
Yes.
Are you doing well?
Yes.
You must be busy preparing for the competition.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to be.
Oh, I'm practicing diligently too for it with the notes that Yeon Saeng sent me...
How can you chat so long when you're working for the court?
I'm done now, so let's go.
Yeon Saeng gave me this just in case I met you.
Keep it up.
You're the Clerk Jung, right?
Yes, and?
The officer in charge wants to see you for a moment.
Go ahead and accept a glass first.
If you have received it, you should drink it. The whole court knows how good you are at drinking.
I'm sorry that I pointlessly raised my voice to you earlier.
I'll get right to the point.
This matter...
pretend not to know.
If you told people hastily, you and I would be definitely kicked out of our positions,
and we'll face great harm. Do you understand what I'm saying?
It's the work of superiors who we can't do anything about.
And what does it matter to us if we succeed in growing one useless herb? Isn't that so?
And what does it matter to us if we succeed in growing one useless herb? Isn't that so?
But Sir, it's something that doesn't grow in Korea so it's sold for a very expensive price
and it's used widely in medicine so the money going to Ming to import it isn't small.
Do you want to be framed as having been intimate with a palace maid in the herb garden and get kicked out?
Do you want to be framed as having been intimate with a palace maid in the herb garden and get kicked out?
So don't concern yourself with this anymore
and just continue drinking all day. I'll pay you for this. Understand?
Did he understand?
Yes, there should be no problems.
Besides, he's a person that's lost his desire and temper, so you don't have to worry.
Is that so?
But is the success of the astragalus such a
big blow to His Lordship Oh Kyum Ho?
Didn't you know? Except for the small amounts
coming through The Ming Empire, the rest of trade
is monopolized by Merchant Choi Pan Sul.
And how is that related to His Lordship Oh Kyum Ho?
If His Lordship helps merchant Choi Pan Sul keep his monopoly
then Choi Pan Sul earns the money and supports His Lordship Oh with it.
But if astragalus herb starts to grow in this country
all that money would disappear in a moment.
Yes.
So whoever comes to the herb garden, you take care of things well there
and soon enough, good things will happen to you too.
Yes.
Sir! Sir!
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Sir! It's big trouble! Someone took all of the seedlings this time!
Is that so? That's me!
Excuse me?
Who is Clerk Jung Woon Baek?!
That's me.
Arrest him right now!
What is it?
A report came in that he took astragalus seedlings
from the court and sold them outside the palace!
What?! Sir!
That's me, I said.
But is it true that you were successful with astragalus?
Yes, that's true, but how could Clerk Jung...?!
Let's go! Yes!
Sir! Sir!
Is it true that you sold astragalus seedlings?
Yes.
And you spread the rumor that an official in the herb garden was selling them?
And you spread the rumor that an official in the herb garden was selling them?
I think so...
You think so?
I was so happy, and after a few drinks...
Then you really succeeded in growing the astragalus?!
Yes. A new palace maid from the Royal Kitchen Jang Geum,
tried planting it different ways and she succeeded in producing seedlings.
What a wicked man you are! If that's the case
you should've told the court immediately to benefit the people!
How can a king's servant smuggle out the court's precious property and sell it off?!
Well, left as it was the officer in charge wouldn't even look at it anyway
and even when I caught the person who raked it all up and turned him over, there was no punishment so I sold them outside.
That way, it would spread faster throughout the country.

Officer Jin, what is he saying?
Did you know that they had succeeded in growing astragalus?
How come there's no answer? Did you or did you not know?!
I will not overlook this negligence of duty of yours!
How can you be so sloppy in taking care of the issue?!
I'm sorry. Officer Jin told me there was nothing to worry about.
I heard he was kicked out of the Royal Clinic because of his drinking problem.
Did you think that threats would work on that kind of person?!
The court has already found out so we can't do anything about astragalus.
Give it up and try to find another way.
Yes.
Just make sure our names don't come up by managing Officer Jin well!
Just make sure our names don't come up by managing Officer Jin well!
Yes, Your Lordship.
So how did you do it?
Yes, since it normally grows in deep mountains, it seemed that
it wouldn't grow well with too much light or too much water.
I've written down other details.
Good work. People have been crying out for a long time because of the high prices of astragalus.
You have helped us in the Palace to lay down one worry.
We have reported your merit to His Excellency, the Minister of Industry,
so you can expect good things to happen soon.
But, Your Lordship...
Yes, what is it?
What has happened to the Clerk?
I'm not sure...
-Sir! -Sir!
Why did you do it?
Was it because the officer in charge didn't treat this incident properly?
Then you should've officially reported it to the Bureau of Inspection and Public Affairs or the Royal Judiciary Office.
I heard you went around the stores giving the seedlings and yelling for drinks.

How come you know what I did while I was drunk better than I do?
Sir, if you keep this up, you'll be kicked out of this place too.
I heard your wage was lowered again because of this.
You worry too much.
Sir!
Stop looking at a person you don't like with such a bad expression on your face. Look over there behind you.
I think she came to see you.
Jang Geum!
Yeon Saeng!
Jang Geum, you... you...
They say for you to come...
Don't you get it?
Can't find what you're looking for?
