THE TALE OF LADY OK

There was a man I loved
before I got married.

He was a spectacular artist
who brought comfort to many.

Also,

he would sneeze
when there was pine pollen.

Pardon?

Oh, my gosh.

When did you find out?
Was it when I hummed?

It came out instinctively.
I realized it too late.

What? Memory loss?

Am I supposed to find that a funny joke?

I am sorry.

What about your performance in Qing?

Do not worry about that.
It is all right. I postponed it.

You have to be fooled.

Director Chon is dead.

What on earth are you saying?

The performance ordered by royal court.

He killed himself and came here

knowing that he could never reverse it

for the sole purpose of protecting you.

Why did you not stop him?

Why did you let him do that?

How could I? It was three to one.

What do you mean?

What? I thought you found out.

Do-gyeom and Do-kki are not
all in on it, are they?

What?

It is all right.

I do not think Lady Ok found out.

I think she did.

"Do-kki, go and bring Master Yun-gyeom."
That is what she said!

Gosh.

- Oh, there he comes.
- Gosh.

What happened?

- She found out.
- Gosh.

You look pale
as if you were at death's door.

She must have really scolded you.

She scolded me so much

that I almost wet my pants.

What did she say?

It is exactly what we expected.

She told me to leave.

You cannot do that.
I will try to persuade her myself.

No, do not do that.

She does not seem to know
that we are all in on it together.

I told her that I fooled the two of you,

so try not to be discovered.

Pardon? I would rather
be discovered at this point.

I have not said a word
for fear of slipping up.

It is as though my mouth is sealed shut.

My heart races
at the thought of being caught.

I may really die. I am serious.

If Mak-sim finds out I fooled her…

Finds out what?

What on earth?

What are you hiding to be this startled?

If you do not tell me,
I have no choice but to tell Lady Ok.

Where could she be?

Lady Ok!

- Hey!
- Mak-sim!

- Do not do that.
- Lift her up!

Please do not do that.

No, Mak-sim.

Oh, my gosh.

My goodness.

How could you look exactly like him?

It is as if they made
you two out of a mold.

When I first saw him,
I thought the world was fooling me too.

I know.

I am sorry.

You are him, are you not?
The person who gave her the gat ornament.

Artist Chon Seung-hwi.

Do you know me?

Of course I do.

My dear Baek-yi liked you so much.

Anyway, we must keep this a secret
no matter what.

Of course, my lord.
I did not hear anything.

She may catch us gathered around.
I must take my leave.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Gosh, look at that. Even his walk is
just like Master Yun-gyeom's.

Gosh.

Mister, show me this one.

This way.

All right.

Welcome back, dearest.

I thought you were angry and went home.

A guest visited me.

A guest?

Hey!

Hey! What are you…

Where did everyone go?

I am the one running around everywhere.

But I get this feeling
that I am the only one

who does not know the important things.

Hey, why did you come down here?

Mind your own business.

Who are you?

Oh, me?

I am Man-seok, a servant
of Director Chon Seung-hwi here

and the commander
of the art troupe, Yudam Group.

My hobbies are...

Enough.

Where did you first meet?

You must answer at the same time.

One, two, three.

- Ikcheon.
- Ikcheon.

Ikcheon.

Did you come up with this scheme
when you ran into one another there?

No, my lady.
We only came across one another there.

Tell me the whole story.

Man-seok said that Yun-gyeom went to Qing,

so we went there.

I must have eaten something bad in Qing,

so I almost died because
of all the vomiting and diarrhea.

- Oh, my. Really?
- Yes, it was bad.

I was dying to tell you
so many things, but...

What?

- Read the room. Gosh.
- Read what?

Go on.

Did you do this because you did not
meet Yun-gyeom in Qing?

No, I met him.

Then, why did Master Yun-gyeom not come…

Do you recognize me?

Yun-gyeom.

Let us go home now. Please.

Yun-gyeom!

Why are you doing this?

Did you also turn your back
on Lady Ok like this?

Keep your voice down.

If I get caught now,

everything I have prepared
may go to waste.

What on earth are you preparing?

Do not try to learn more about it.

Is this why
you did not return for seven years?

I know that the great cause is important,

but how could you abandon your family
as the eldest son?

Father has…

passed away, Yun-gyeom.

So, please go back with me.

Lady Ok is going through such an ordeal.

SEONG YUN-GYEOM

I am not Seong Yun-gyeom.

I do not have a wife, a brother,

or a father.

What?

I cannot go back anymore.

Just think of your brother…

as dead.

SEONG YUN-GYEOM

And I ran into Director Chon again
on my way back.

Director Chon and I were
on our way to our performance in Qing.

We have time to go to an inn
and have a bowl of rice soup.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How did it go?

Well…

Gosh, he must not have found him.

He did,
but Master Yun-gyeom did not want to come.

What? Why not?

Come inside, Do-kki.

- Let us go as well.
- Wait.

- Wait.
- What?

Can you please help us?

- Hey.
- Are you not her friend?

Can you not go and show your face briefly?

If you make them think he is alive,

Lady Ok will not become a widow.

Enough with this nonsense.
You should go. Go inside.

Do-kki.

- That is such nonsense.
- Wait.

Let us go. Do not look back and go.

- Man-seok.
- Yes.

Let us postpone our performance.

You know we cannot.

How can we postpone
the royal court's orders?

We cannot get away with it

with some beatings
like the time in Jeolla Province.

If I tell them that, I will be beheaded.

Do you want me to die?

Give me the word, and I will die.

Die.

What?

Not you but me.

If I die, I cannot perform.

Then they will understand.

How can you say something so awful?

Wait, are you…

Do you mean it?

You will act dead and come with us?

There seems to be no other way.

Can you not postpone
your work for a while?

It is the king's order.
We cannot postpone it, my lord.

Please stop him.

We would be asking too much of you.

Just accept the help
while he is offering it, please.

You had better stop!

Does this seem
like a joke to you right now?

Do I seem like I am joking?

I would not say this if I did not have to!

Thank you for your offer. It means a lot.

I will return
and protect my sister-in-law,

so go before it is too late.

Come on. Let us go.

Please get up.

We are dead if we miss the boat.

Please, Director. Please.

Please come to your senses!

I am doing it of my own volition,
so do not feel burdened by it.

To be honest,

you may be her friend, but I do not get
why you are going to such great lengths.

I have loved her for a long time.

Since long before she got married.

I cannot stand the thought
of her going through an ordeal.

Are you really sure about this?

We did it.

Mak-sim, we are coming home
with Master Yun-gyeom!

What if we get caught? What then?

You know we will be all dead
if we get caught, right?

Well, if I say that he is my brother…

we will not get caught.

Yes, he looks exactly like him.
How will anyone find out?

My occupation is to reenact
other people's lives,

so I am sure I will not get caught.

You can fool everyone else
but not Lady Ok.

What will you tell her if she asks
why you did not return

for the past seven years?

Does anyone here know the answer?

He can say he lost his memory.

- Give it a rest already! Please!
- Why do you keep getting on my nerves?

- Let go.
- Why you…

But there is one issue.

If my memory serves me right,

Lady Ok said Yun-gyeom
has a scar on his shoulder.

But I do not know what it is.

Oh, well. This will not work, then.

She will check the scar first.
What will you do?

Can he not just put some mark on it?

- How would that work?
- Why not?

It is not a scar.

It is a brand.

Fortunately, I know what it looks like.

The character sim, meaning "heart."

Here.

How can you do this?

What…

- What do you want me to do with this?
- Give it to Father.

Tell him…

that the body was not found.

Thanks to Goo-deok,

I was able to see Father once again.

Take good care of him by his side.

I am counting on you.

How could you go this far?

How can you give up
on your life as Chon Seung-hwi like this?

Does your life as an artist
not mean anything to you?

It is just that Goo-deok means more to me.

Please, my lord. Please reconsider.

I feel like I will not be able to go
if I hesitate any longer.

Gosh.

Then, what about me?

If you live as Seong Yun-gyeom…

you will never see me again.

I can come and see you.

Gosh, stop crying!

Stop right now.

HEART

Here it is.

Are you sure that you want to do this?

If you do this,
you will not be able to reverse it.

I am doing this so as not to reverse it.

The man who abandoned his family
for his own work is not my brother.

This man, who sacrificed his life for you,

is my brother.

Thank you so much, my lord.

I agree.
No one would go to such great lengths.

If you had not come, she would have
had to hold an unknown man's funeral,

stayed a widow at the ancestral shrine,

and given up her legal advocate work.

My lady, do not worry.

You even had a feast, but no one knew.

We will not be caught.

As long as I say that it is him,
he is my brother.

I am so grateful

for how much you all care about me.

However,

I cannot accept this.

Then,

are you going to cast him out
when he has nowhere to return to?

How can I do that?

He gave up on his lifelong dream
because of me.

It would only be fair
if I gave everything up too.

Once my affairs are in order,

we will leave Cheongsu County.

- Pardon?
- My lady.

You worked so hard for this family.
How can you leave?

Exactly.

I worked so hard for this family.

As the eldest daughter-in-law,

I cannot let
anything happen to our family.

I cannot let our whole family
conspire to live a lie.

I have been a daughter-in-law
Father would be proud of.

And I have been a wife
my husband would be proud of.

I have been proud

that I fulfilled my duties
in every situation.

But I have let a man,
who is not my husband, into my room.

My lady, that is...

You must take charge of the family now.

My lady.

Stop the repair
of the legal advocate's office.

It would be right…

to close this place down.

- My lady.
- My lady.

Hey, do something. Come on.

My lady.

I am sorry. Please do not be angry.

I am not angry.

You went to such great lengths for me.

You are not even a good liar.

It must have been hard to hide it.

You may leave, my lady.

Honestly, I have never thought
about a life without you,

but if it is really what you want,
I will gladly let you go.

If it is a choice that makes you happy,
I will always support it.

But if you are leaving
because it may harm our family

or because it is the right thing to do,

I cannot let you go.

I understand what you are saying.

I am so sorry for breaking your heart.

I am sorry for causing trouble
while leaving you in the dark.

Your wife may see us.

I understand, so you may stop.

Gosh, you have a big appetite.

Do you have a beggar living in your belly?

Be honest. You came here
with the goal of being caught, right?

She found out before I came.

Yes, Lady Ok suspected it
and sent Kkeut-dong to Hanyang.

Gosh, what do we do? She sounded like
she was really going to leave.

So what if she leaves?
That would be better.

It would be far better than
always worrying about being discovered.

Yes.

Rather than the family being ruined here.

It will be awesome if she can
travel the country and be happy.

- Why yes.
- Why yes, indeed.

- Like this.
- Like that.

- What to do?
- What to do?

- Ongheya
- Ongheya

Hey, man.

You just met Mak-sim.
How dare you sing with her?

Would you like to come with me?

- What?
- Oh, my.

To where?

Traveling around the country.

I am the director's servant,
so I will serve him my whole life.

What about you?

Oh, my gosh. You are right.

Now that I think about it,
I must go with Lady Ok as I am her maid.

Yes.

What is she saying? Mak-sim!

I am going to pack.

Have you lost your mind?

Stay right here.

I will pull your tongue out.

I am eating.

Give it here.

Dearest.

Do not call me that!

Then, what should I call you? Goo-deok?

I must speak formally while we are here.

How could you do this to your father?

Have you even thought
of how he must be feeling?

Why do you always
only think about other people?

You are the one who gave up
your whole life for someone else.

Three times.

I have asked you
to leave with me three times.

But you refused all three times. Why?

You had to protect
your precious family here,

and you had your dream.

I thought you were stuck here.

But no, you cared more
about this place than you did about me.

That is why I came.

To protect what is precious to you.

I can give up everything
as long as I have you.

But I told you that I did not want that.

What can we do now?
We have reached a point of no return.

All right.

You must be happy
to leave with me as you wanted.

As Chon Seung-hwi who is acting dead
and the runaway slave Goo-deok,

let us be on the run
for the rest of our lives.

How happy we would be.

I hope we do not kill each other.

But we do not have to leave.

Everything you care about is all here now.

Because I care about everyone,

I must leave.

Do you think it is easy
to live a life of lies?

I deserve to die
for living a lie as it is.

So how can I put my family
in danger as well?

All right.

Let us say that you can
visit your family every now and then.

What about your work?

Are you sure you can quit
being a legal advocate?

That was…

the real Lady Tae-young's dream anyway.

Why did you give this to my husband?

Were you trying to kill him?

Yes.

Is he not the one
Ok Tae-young cherishes the most?

The brother-in-law who aced the state exam
that she raised like her own son.

How could you?

Since I failed in tearing her body apart,
I wanted to tear her heart apart

so she could learn
what living hell is like.

Please stop!

- Do you not have arms?
- Right?

You talk too much. Is it yours?

Have you seen Lady Mi-ryeong?

Oh, my. Is she not inside?

Mi-ryeong is not in her room?

No, she is not.

She is not anywhere in the house.

She must have gone to her mother.

We came from the legal advocate's office,
so we do not know.

- I will ask at the slaves' quarters.
- Yes.

No, it is late. I will go myself.

Hey, Kkeut-dong.
Do you know where Lady Mi-ryeong is?

Well, you see…

What is wrong? What happened?

Well, Lady Mi-ryeong has been arrested.

What are you talking about? Why?

Well…

They say that she murdered her mother.

What are you talking about? A murder?

Well.

You know, Lady Mi-ryeong…

I heard that she killed her mother.

What?

I do not know what is going on either,

but they say

that her mother returned
to seek revenge on Lady Ok.

Lady Mi-ryeong approached
Young Master Do-gyeom intentionally

to marry him.

And the problem is,

Young Master is the only one
who did not know anything about this.

She wanted to tell you.

She was going to leave after that,
but I stopped her.

Since she purposely approached me,

she must not have loved me either.

How could she confess her wrongdoing
and try to leave so easily?

Young Master.

Do you think she really killed her?

As soon as day breaks,

I will go and find out
what exactly happened.

I do not think I can go.

Young Master.

CHEONGSU COUNTY

Is it Lady Song?

No.

It is the body
that you brought for examination.

I see.

Using chemical examination,
we were able to find

a slave's brand from the mangled face.

Is it…

Dol-seok?

It was Dol-seok.

Lady Song did it. I am sure of it.

She was the one who branded him.

I know. We received
an anonymous letter yesterday.

"The deceased is Dol-seok,
who was Lady Song's slave.

She murdered Dol-seok out of a grudge.

So we went to arrest her."

"But she was already dead."

How are you feeling?

Do-gyeom must

know everything now.

I do not wish to live any longer.

Why on earth

did you go to your mother by yourself?

Tell me.

Tell me everything.

Mother…

gave poison to Do-gyeom.

She tried to kill him and his brother.

And

that is not all.

- No!
- Mom!

My baby.

How did you find this place?

You should have been dead a long time ago,

but you managed to survive
by siding with Ok Tae-young.

How…

How could you do this as a human being?

How could a human...

This is a handkerchief
with Seong Yun-gyeom's name on it.

But there is a brand on his face.

You can just mangle up his face.

Did she kill…

all the mountain dwellers?

So? Did you really kill your mother?

Yes.

How?

I fed her poison.

No.

Your mother was…

strangled to death.

I understand that you hate her,

but how could you do such a thing?

What…

What on earth caused you to be so cruel?

What is

tormenting you so much?

It should have been mine.

It should have all been mine.

Mother.

Do-gwang.

If my son had been alive,

I would have been the one there.

If my son had been alive…

I would have been happy too.

I envied her.

I was suffering so much
because that wench made me lose my son.

But even her husband returned.

I could not stand her being so happy.

Please stop, Mother.

That is

what Do-gwang would want too.

Please stop me.

I cannot stop myself.

Let us go to the government office
so you can turn yourself in.

If you tell them the magistrate's crimes,

they will consider
the extenuating circumstances.

I will…

I will do my best as your legal advocate.

Whether you are exiled or imprisoned,

I will take care of you
for the rest of my life.

Yes, I will do that.

So…

can you go and get some water for me?

That was

the last time I saw my mother.

When I brought the water,

she was already dead.

I am rather glad it happened.

It is finally over now.

Mother must be at ease as well.

So I must receive the punishment…

for my mother's crimes.

No.

Your brother was punished
for your parents' crimes.

Do you think
I will let you also be framed…

for your mother's crime?

So the magistrate teamed up
with Lady Song to kill that slave

and made it appear as though it was
Lady Ok's husband to make her a widow?

Yes.

He wanted the Memorial Gate
to get a good performance review.

Did Lady Song not insist
that it was not revenge?

I heard that it was
not her daughter that killed her.

- Who is it? The magistrate?
- Let go of me!

- Well.
- I am innocent. Why are you arresting me?

Since he has been arrested,
those involved will be revealed.

Let go of me!

What are you looking at?

Get out of my sight!

How dare you raise your voice
after killing someone?

Says who? Who said I murdered...

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

My lady. My lady...

Legal advocate. Be my legal advocate.

I have a legal advocate.
Let go of me, brutes.

Will you?

Did you not want to reconcile with me?
Did you not forgive me?

I refuse.

Why you wench…

My lady, please. Please help me.

Please, help me.

But for old time's sake,

let me tell you what your crimes are.

Article 420 of criminal law, imprisoning
and interrogating someone innocent.

Article 104 of civil law,
damaging property.

Article 407 of criminal law, arson.

Also…

article 305 of criminal law, murder.

You deserve to be beheaded.

No.

No.

No!

Come on. Let us go now.

Please wait for me. Slow down.

Why do you walk so fast?

Listen, I must act as your husband

while we are together,
do you not think so?

As a husband, I cannot let my wife

go to a dangerous murder scene by herself.

And now that I am good at fighting,
you can use me as your guard.

Once this is resolved,
I am going to leave Cheongsu County.

Your first case was
your sister-in-law's brother.

Now, your last case concerns
your sister-in-law.

How meaningful.

Can you play the role of the eldest son
of the Seong family while you are here?

Of course. Just tell me what to do.

Could you console Young Master Do-gyeom?

So you are saying
that this is poisoned wine?

Did I almost die?

Yes.

It is not easy to live
as Ok Tae-young's husband, is it?

Where to now? Why?

Why? What are you looking for? What is it?

Why? What is it?

The military officers that came to arrest
Lady Song for killing Dol-seok

must have come from that way.

So,

why are there footprints over here?

The magistrate was at the office
at the time of her murder.

But he may have ordered someone to do it.

Who would obey that order so willingly?

Why not?
Plenty of people would do it for money.

Commander Ji.

He could have done it.

What is that?

Just a moment.

Whose is this?

It is not Commander Ji's.

During the feast,

I saw you wearing this ring, my lady.
But it is mine.

What? You stole that, dearest?

No, my lord. That woman gave it to me.

What did she get in return?

Well, I…

Why did you go to Lady Song's house?

You went there?

This ring was found there.

I heard that you would not go outside.

I had far too much on my mind,
so I have been reading books.

You were reading.

Smart men sure are different.
One should drink to clear one's head.

Here.

Oh, did you hear?

Your wife saved our lives.

I told Lady Ok that she should not leave
if she does not wish to do so.

Good.

I agree with you.

No one will be caught if I am not here.

Since she is not a widow anymore,

it will be all good if I leave.

She will probably want to leave with you.

Let us talk about that
after we bring your wife back safely.

Are we talking about that again?

Are you really not going to visit

your wife?

She approached me intentionally.

I was fooled into marrying her.

If I had not been fooled,
this would not have happened.

Oh, I am sorry.
That reminded me of myself.

You said that
she approached you intentionally.

She may have approached you intentionally,

but if she had not seemed sincere,

Lady Ok would never have allowed you

to marry Lady Mi-ryeong.

It may have been to do
what her mother ordered her to do,

but she must have given you
all her heart to marry you.

And both you and your sister-in-law
felt that genuineness.

As the murder of Song Mi-ok

is connected to the Memorial Gate case,

the royal inspector,
who is dispatched here,

will proceed with the trial himself.

Not only did Cha Mi-ryeong
confess to murdering her mother,

but she also testified that she hated
her mother to the point of murdering her.

So there is a motive.

Now, the legal advocate
may make a defense.

Cha Mi-ryeong confessed
to feeding poison to her mother,

but per the report,

her mother's cause of death
is strangulation with a rope.

Not only did Cha Mi-ryeong
not know the cause of her mother's death,

but she does not have any wounds
inflicted by the victim.

Then, why did she confess
to murdering her mother?

My mother, who committed murder,
took her own life,

so I was going to receive the punishment

for the crime she committed.

Before Song was murdered,

she murdered slave Dol-seok and others
with Oh Dal-seong,

and she confessed to using
Dol-seok's body to turn me into a widow.

Please summon Oh Dal-seong who is
arrested for the murder of Dol-seok.

I do not know
what she is talking about, my lord.

How dare you lie in court!

It is the truth!

There was a body by the office one day,

and there was a handkerchief
with his name on it.

I told you many times!

Was Song not the one
who made that handkerchief?

I do not know that.

Inspector, when Oh Dal-seong found out

Dol-seok's body was being re-examined,
he was afraid

that he would be revealed
as her accomplice if she was arrested,

so he murdered her and sent
the anonymous letter about her crimes.

This is ungrounded slander and conjecture.

Did you write this?

Yes, I did.

He acknowledges that this is a document
of Cheongsu County's government office.

Compare the handwriting
with the anonymous letter

sent to the provincial office.

No! I did not write that.

How dare you!

How could a government official
commit murder of a subject?

Handwriting can be forged,
can it not, my lord?

Then,

who did you make an agreement with?

An agreement?

How did you find out?

I heard your conversation

with Song during the feast at my house.

Did you

act like you forgave me

to invite me to the feast?

You manipulative...

Watch your words!

Inspector,

Oh Dal-seong

fell for Song's offer of a Memorial Gate.

In order to satisfy his selfish desires,

he committed ruthless murder

and insisted that the body was my husband

to turn me into a widow.

He also hired abductors
to violate and humiliate me.

That is not true!

It is not me that hired the abductors…

If I agreed to send the bribery…

he said he would provide abductors
and get me a Memorial Gate.

Who is it?

Who made you sign such an agreement?

Well…

I would like to question Ji Dong-chun

who is arrested for Song's murder.

He has been arrested?

That makes no sense, my lord.

How can a man like me
get him a Memorial Gate?

What agreement? What abductors?

I do not know what on earth this is about.

Of course, I did send him some men.

That is what I do.

But how can I know what they did there?

I cannot possibly know everything.

You do not know each other?

- No.
- No.

- I do not know him.
- I do not know him.

Even though the officer,
who had been following Oh Dal-seong,

saw the two of you meet many times?

Well, I suppose we are acquainted.

But does that prove that I killed

that woman called Song?

Inspector,

I request Hong Su-hui of Cheongsu County
as a witness.

I simply went there to return the ring.

I knew it.

Why are you dragging her into this?

Then why do you look so anxious
as if you have

done something wrong?

I think I saw…

the murderer.

- What?
- Then you should have told us!

Please.

If you draw
a composite sketch and testify,

I will tell Young Master Seong to help
Young Master Ung-yi with his exam.

I want to be
the head of Mother's Sanctuary too.

Gosh, dearest.

All right.

It is that man.

He is the murderer.

Are you certain?

Yes, I saw it with my own two eyes.

To be honest, he has a mug
that one could never forget, does he not?

No, my lord.

I really do not know about this.

If you do not remember,

let me remind you of that day.

Why did I accept this?

Lady Hong, who came to return
the ring she had received from Song,

was going to go inside to meet Song

when Cha Mi-ryeong left the room
to fetch some water.

But when she saw
Ji Dong-chun enter the room,

she left the place out of fear.

And Ji Dong-chun, who entered the room,

brutally strangled Song to death.

Mother!

Are you saying he was

still there
when the military officers arrived?

If the officers arrived a moment later,

Cha Mi-ryeong would have been
killed by him as well.

That is ridiculous speculation.

This is a drawing
of the footprints behind the door.

Compare these with his shoes

and compare the wound on his hand

with the skin
under the late Song's fingernails.

But…

Also, seven years ago,

this man received severe punishment

for abducting and confining children
to use them for illegal mining,

but he committed another crime
instead of atoning for it,

so he must get additional punishment.

No.

I really did not do it. Say something.

He made me do it.

- Are you crazy?
- Look here!

Incarcerate Oh Dal-seong
and Ji Dong-chun this instant.

Do not give them a drop of water until
they confess to the additional crimes.

My lord, I did not do it. I did not do it!

- Father.
- Father.

No. Please, no!

Why you…

How dare he.

No.

Cha Mi-ryeong is not the one
who murdered Song.

She is the one who actually testified

against Oh Dal-seong and Song
regarding Dol-seok's murder.

Moreover, she told me about the abductors
so that you could capture them, my lord.

Therefore, I implore you

to please acquit Cha Mi-ryeong.

Cha Mi-ryeong,

you are acquitted, so you may return home.

Oh, my. My lady.

You have all been through so much.

I am proud of you.

I could not even imagine using footprints.

Enough with that.

Let us go.

Dearest.

I am sorry I am so late.

- Let us go.
- You worked so hard.

- Hey, Kkeut-dong.
- I am so exhausted.

You were awesome.

Because of his record of embezzlement,
Oh Dal-seong was

about to be dismissed.

Through Commander Ji, someone approached

these magistrates who were
at risk of being dismissed

and sent abductors in exchange

for bribes.

I suppose Commander Ji

is someone's faithful enforcer.

But do you think he would
actually say who is behind him?

He did not talk
in the mining case seven years ago either.

Perhaps you can let him go
and have him followed instead.

You,

can you persuade Oh Dal-seong?

You know what happens if you say anything.

It was nice to see

your family all together at the trial.

I will report everything
about the murders being committed

in order to obtain the Memorial Gate.

I will make sure to make
the review process stricter

so that there will be no more
innocent widows being murdered.

But if you reveal this
without catching who is behind it,

those men may go into hiding.

It would be nice to punish
the criminal for their crimes,

but would it not be
more meaningful to stop them

from committing any further crimes?

This is all because you gave me
a justifiable cause.

I am just grateful
that you inclined your ear

to a lowly woman.

My lord, Oh Dal-seong killed himself.

What?

Oh, my. Lady Legal Advocate.

I will keep my eye on you.

Do not point your finger at her.

- Who the heck are you?
- I was just happy to see you.

Long time no see.

What the heck?

You are handsome.

"Ok Tae-young, the eldest daughter-in-law

of Seong Gyu-jin,
the former magistrate of Cheongsu County,

has worked very hard to resolve

the Memorial Gate case

that caused the deaths of many,

so she is deserving of a reward."

- Of course!
- Of course!

"As a reward for that,

an Honorary Gate will be built
in Cheongsu County

to let everyone know of her good deeds."

"And each house will receive
one pil of cotton cloth."

"And Ok Tae-young will receive

ten pil of colored silk."

- Ten pil? Nice!
- Oh, my goodness.

An Honorary Gate in Cheongsu County?

I know.

It will be harder to get a Memorial Gate,

so how lucky we are.

- You are right.
- So,

she saved her sister-in-law,
caught a murderer,

and raised the reputation
of Cheongsu County.

Lady Legal Advocate resolved
her last case in a grandiose manner!

Make some noise!

I say, "Lady," you say, "Legal Advocate."

- Lady!
- Legal Advocate!

- Lady!
- Legal Advocate!

Make some noise!

Louder!

I had a hard time losing the tail.

The Memorial Gate plan
was foiled because of her,

so Left State Councillor
is very disappointed.

I understand.

When he was Minister of Defense
seven years ago,

he lost the gold mine because of her.

Still, what a relief that you
and the councillor did not get caught.

I have been released,

and Oh Dal-seong took his own life.

I warned him countless times.

That if he ever became an obstacle
to your endeavors, he would…

not live.

You know well.

You could not even get rid of a girl.

Get rid of it.

I have kept you waiting.

No, my lord, not at all.
Please have a seat.

Yes.

What are you doing?
Stand up and greet him properly.

Gosh, apologies
for my daughter's rudeness.

I am not superior because I am privileged,

but I feel responsible
because I am privileged.

My dream is to become a legal advocate.

Even when someone is wronged,

they cannot make a claim

because they do not know
the law or how to read.

I want to help those in need.

Perhaps…

being a legal advocate has…

become my dream, not yours…

seeing how sad I am now, my lady.

Where on earth are you taking me?

You are leaving,
so you should say your goodbyes.

I told you to stop the repair.

Oh, this?

I did not do this.

Thank you so much, Lady Legal Advocate.

Thanks to you, my daughter,
who was sacrificed

for a Memorial Gate,
can finally rest in peace.

Other bereaved families
have come by as well.

My lady.

- Hello, my lady.
- My lady, thank you so much.

- Thank you, my lady.
- Thank you, my lady.

Thank you, my lady.

You are the pride of Cheongsu County,
Lady Legal Advocate.

My gosh, thank you so much, my lady.

We received this special favor
thanks to you.

Thanks to you, the world is worth living.

We respect you, my lady.

Congratulations.

You asked why I killed Chon Seung-hwi
and came here.

Because I wanted to see you
happy like this.

You have something to tell me.

Tell me when you are ready. I will wait.

Once.

Just once.

May I be selfish just once?

About what?

Can you…

be my husband and live here with me…

while I do what I want to do?

You say…

that everyone must be treated equally,

so why are you so harsh on yourself?

Do not just help others,

stop sacrificing, stop forgiving,

and please do what you want to do.

You know that…

I am the slave girl Goo-deok.

I respected you
even when you were a slave.

You learned how to read,

and you plotted an escape
by making money selling peanuts.

Instead of living the life you were given,

you poured waste water on your master
and ran away from that life.

You worked so hard to build
the meaningful life you have now.

You deserve to do what you want.

This is your life.

Then,

what about your dream?

You gave up everything for me.

How can I be…

the only happy one?

No, I just jumped
on the best stage of my life.

I became the hero of the story
and am married to you now.

You could say I accomplished my dream too.

If we ever get caught,

we may both have to face death,

but if I can live as your husband
even for a day,

I do not fear death.

No, I would actually have no regrets
if I died right now.

These past few days with you

were the happiest I have been in my life.

So let us not get caught.

Just as you live
as Tae-young, not Goo-deok,

I am not Chon Seung-hwi

but Seong Yun-gyeom now.

Now, call me.

Who am I?

My husband.

THE TALE OF LADY OK

There is a hole in his ceiling?
What do you mean?

I do not know.

Then, where should I sleep tonight?

You two are married,
so you should share a room.

Oh, my gosh.

I had hoped that you would
have at least one good night's sleep.

Why do you live such a difficult life?

I am…

your husband.

We will never be caught.

We will do it perfectly without a hitch.

All right, repeat after me.

I am the best. I am amazing.

Will you give me a wedding gift?

What if they are slave hunters?

What if she is looking for me?

What if she sees me with my husband?
