(The child actors were filmed safely.)

(The animal scenes were staged, in compliance with animal welfare guidelines.)

What I fear is...

the sadness my lover will feel

after hearing about my death.

In any situation,

these bracelets will connect us together.

Consider it a token of my affection before the wedding.

W-Why are you not killing me?

This is humiliating.

Just kill me!

Because...

I promised not to take anyone's life

with this sword.

Because we weren't destined to be apart yet,

the moment the sun and the moon become one,

Inyeonok's miracle happened.

(Episode 12: The reencounter with the world)

We took care of the Chief State Minister,

but until the abdication process is completed,

we cannot ignore the opposition's movement.

Are you suggesting using the military force?

It was Prince Seonghyeon's idea, not mine.

Shedding more blood when we achieved our goal

is no different than what His Majesty did a decade ago.

I thought our great cause was to create a different world.

What a dangerous comment.

We do not have time to get sentimental.

We must eliminate potential resistance, as Prince Seonghyeon ordered.

With the Hongmungwan official Jung Su Gyeom's lead,

the officials of three ministries and

Confucian scholars are heading to the King's Palace.

Jung Su Gyeom, you said?

Your Majesty!

Please withdraw your abdication!

Your Majesty, the abdication was planned by an evil force

that is trying to shake the country's foundation.

Why do you play ignorant of Prince Seonghyeon's impure ambition?

Please listen to our plea, Your Majesty.

Please listen to our plea, Your Majesty.

Catch her!

But your foolish decision is...

hastening your death in the end.

It is finally time to go, Sun Chaek.

It is Prince Gyeongseong.

Catch that bastard.

Catch him, I said!

If you want to live,

drop the sword and step aside now!

Prince Gyeongseong,

how are you back here?

How dare you bandits...

come inside the Palace?

We were ordered to kill anyone

who goes against the King.

Is this...

truly what His Majesty wants?

Step back if you do not want to get hurt.

Stop!

Are you all right, Sir?

What are you doing here?

It was Prince Gyeongseong's order.

Prince Gyeongseong has returned.

Prince Gyeongseong...

What is taking him so long?

I will stop by somewhere briefly.

Prince Seonghyeon will be here soon.

Where are you going?

Because your son is facing trouble,

you are not going to him, are you?

The Chief Secretary cannot even handle his son.

If Prince Seonghyeon found out, he will not be able to live

even if he is the Chief Secretary's son.

Say that again!

Your Excellency.

I think he is here.

Arrest everyone!

Thanks to you, I took a nice trip to the border.

What the hell are you saying?

You said even sworn enemies

should greet each other properly.

Are you mocking me right now?

I no longer have any guilt or empathy

for you because of the past.

Soldiers!

Take this traitor away!

Yes, sir.

Let go.

Let go. Let go of me.

How dare you!

Prince Gyeongseong, you bastard.

Let go! Let go of me!

Let go!

Let go, you bastards!

Let go. Let go!

Prince Gyeongseong...

It really is you, right?

This isn't a dream, right?

I came to believe in miracles.

I knew you'd come back.

Thank you for staying alive.

What took you so long?

It is not fun if the male lead comes back too easily.

Father, Mother!

- Sun Chaek! - Sun Chaek!

- Sun Chaek! - Brothers!

- Sun Chaek! - I thought I would never see you.

We are okay now.

You went through a lot because of your foolish father.

Thank you.

I am sorry about what you went through.

Are you all right?

I am so happy to see that everyone is all right.

We are basically a family now.

That is right. Yes.

Let us have you return home.

Home... Home...

Let us go.

Go home and wait for me.

Where are you going now?

I need to stop by somewhere.

I need to see this through.

Your Majesty.

Bring a physician!

Will he recover?

He was exposed to highly toxic incense for a long time.

It will take a long time for him to detox completely.

Your Majesty.

Are you awake?

I am sure they said you were dead.

Are you back as a ghost?

I almost died, but I made it back alive.

I cannot believe it. I cannot.

You resented me in the past.

That is why you are visiting me even after your death. You!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Please calm down, Your Majesty.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I-I am sorry.

I... I...

I took your mother's life away

and I put...

blood on your hands. I did.

I am sorry.

Please... Please spare me this once.

P-Please spare me this once.

T-This once.

Prince Gyeongseong.

Spare him.

I will do anything you want me to do, Uncle.

Please. Please spare him this once.

Spare me this once, Prince Gyeongseong.

This once. Spare me this once.

Where are you going in such a hurry?

Are you running away by chance?

What are you saying?

What else could I be saying?

- Arrest her. - Yes, sir.

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Let go! Let go!

Do Hwa Seon! Do Hwa Seon!

Let go of me! I did nothing wrong!

Let go of me!

- Do Hwa Seon, you... - She's still talking down to me.

Bye.

Let go!

I-I think there is a misunderstanding.

This is a misunderstanding!

Prince Seonghyeon. Please bring Prince Seonghyeon!

Because of old grudges from the past,

I also have not been able to look upon the King favorably.

I have no choice, even if you call me an old lady in the back room.

But seeing the bloodshed in the Palace again,

I need to make a decision.

For the sake of the country in crisis...

and the faltering King,

I want you to step up, Prince Gyeongseong.

I will also contribute the support needed for that process.

Can I dare ask you to be my friend?

I would like to see you often.

It feels like a dream.

I have a friend now.

Make it quick if you have something to say.

For a very long time,

I've been fond of you.

Because...

you were my shining female lead.

I thought I had no one,

but I had made a true friend.

So, I was happy.

You are determined to turn me into a bad person.

That is your problem, My Lady.

You only care about your feelings, and you cannot read the air.

Yes, because I can't read the air,

I really believed you wanted to be my friend.

I was happy and...

I had opened up to you about things I couldn't with no one else.

And I was nosy for no reason.

And then...

I almost drowned to death.

I thought someone else was the culprit

and got kidnapped without anyone knowing and almost died.

You kept surviving amazingly every time.

Since when...

did you change so much?

You haven't always been like this.

I never changed.

I have always been the same. But...

I changed things up since you barged into my life.

It was my fault in the end.

I'm sorry...

for barging into your story.

But hurting others is never acceptable under any circumstances.

Please admit your wrongdoing and stop now.

Why should I stop?

As I watched you easily achieve something that requires a lifetime effort

with a smile,

do you know how miserable I felt?

You're wrong. Not a single moment was easy for me.

Do you only pity yourself and think others have it easy?

Do not try to lecture me.

Someone who tries to hurt others out of envy

doesn't deserve to be the lead character.

Because you'll no longer be cheered on by the people you love.

Why do you...

Why do you keep...

saying such strange things?

Might as well strangle me or kill me.

Just make up your mind!

Confess what you tried to do

by forming the Heuksa Clan!

Heuksa Clan?

What are you talking about?

You are the one who mocked and deceived His Majesty!

Ever so kindly, this man whom you sent

confessed to everything.

My Lord,

my apologies.

I do not know him.

My Lord.

Come on.

Why are you trying to frame me like this?

You dare cast out a man who sacrificed himself for your cause?

What right do you have to stand up there and ask?

I told him to do it.

This is why you tried to cover my eyes and ears.

The ones who had a deep and dark desire

to betray me by my side for a long time were...

You bastards were the ones.

However, if you confess to your crime now,

for the first and last time,

I will spare your life.

I will not punish your children, either.

Your Majesty,

I fell for Prince Seonghyeon's sweet talk

and committed an unforgivable sin.

Please kill me.

I also foolishly participated in achieving the wrong cause.

Prince Seonghyeon also framed the Chief State Minister for treason.

He is right.

He tried to cut out Your Majesty's

eyes, ears, hands, and feet.

Please kill me.

Please kill us.

I should behead all of you

and destroy three generations of your families,

but since the leader was revealed,

I will keep my promise.

However, other than your lives being spared,

do not expect to be forgiven in other ways.

How despicable.

Who is forgiving whom?

You took the throne by killing your family.

Did you expect to become a sage king?

You are not a king. You are an animal!

You bastard!

This bastard...

Cut his head off immediately.

Right now!

What are you doing?

I cannot follow that order, Your Majesty.

What?

Please do not repeat the same wrongdoing.

One's nature never changes.

You expect an animal to forgive?

A dog passing by would laugh.

You bastard. You bastard!

You cannot, Your Majesty! You cannot.

Get out of the way!

Move. I will kill that bastard-

After you took the throne that way,

have you felt at peace even for a day?

Once your life is stained in blood,

you cannot go back. I know it better than anyone.

Even if you struggle your whole life,

it's a shackle you cannot escape!

It will create another grudge that will come back to haunt you.

Please end the cycle now

and only look ahead, Your Majesty.

Please sleep soundly, even for a day, Your Majesty!

Take care of the rest...

however you want, Prince Gyeongseong.

Where are you running off to?

I am not done talking!

You bastard!

I will rip him apart and kill him...

Let go. Let go of me.

Stop right there!

I need to tear that bastard apart.

Everything is over.

Do you want to live and die as his hunting dog?

That is what I chose to do.

You must pay for your choice as well.

It is unfair.

How could this world be like this?

I will rip all of you apart!

Let go! Let go! You bastards!

Let go! You bastards...

Go on and walk by.

Take me away now!

Someone told me...

that revenge is...

for the ones who cannot go back.

That means you have a chance.

A chance to turn your life around again.

I thought...

I should tell you this.

Hold on.

I came to tell you something.

Please tell Prince Seonghyeon this.

"I understand your resentment.

But do not become like the one you hate."

I want you to move on from the past

and find a new life.

I hope my sincerity reaches you.

At least, I can tell you do not mean it.

"Gumaengjusan."

I did not say that saying to you.

You said it to me.

Tell the actual person who told me that.

"This is not the end of me.

I will make sure to come back."

Tell her that.

What a nice day,

Lady Sun Chaek.

You proved yourself to be a true fan.

I admit it.

Thank you for giving me the chance.

Are you sure you won't regret staying here?

Even if you reach the ending

and this world ends?

What do you think?

Do you like it?

It seems like spring has arrived in Hoseondang, Wife.

Why do you talk like that?

And "Wife"? Calling me that...

I love it so much,

Dear Husband.

We should have a wedding before spring comes.

- Wedding? - Yes.

We need to announce that we are officially married.

- If we rush it, we can- - Hold on.

Don't you think the wedding could wait?

Is there an issue?

The ending.

Everything concludes...

when you reach the ending.

To be honest,

there's something I didn't get to tell you.

Do you have a secret lover?

Or a secret child?

I do not care about things like that.

N-No, it's not like that.

It's something even more unbelievable.

What is it, Father?

You will be repenting your wrongdoings starting now.

Please straighten your back.

- Gosh... - Father, do it properly.

You know I have a bad back.

You will start the silence training, too.

You are being too harsh to your father.

Who do you think I take after?

You lost your composure. We will start all over.

(Do not enter)

I am back to being alone with nothing.

I hope we catch 10 sea bream.

Sea bream is not in season.

I-Is that so?

What would you like to catch, then?

I want to catch crayfish and cry.

Cray. Cry.

So, we are inside a novel,

you came from a different world,

and if this story ends,

this world will disappear?

Yes.

And romance novels like this...

usually end when the lead characters marry.

That is the reason you want to delay the wedding?

To prevent this world from disappearing?

Do you expect me to believe that?

I know it's hard to believe.

But it's true.

I want to be with you forever.

But I'm afraid that decision will result

in this world disappearing and tear us apart.

Whether you are the real Cha Sun Chaek or not,

I do not care.

Because you captured my heart

by being audacious like no one else,

my life completely changed.

Through you, I realized fate is

a miracle created by strong desires.

- No! - Move!

I put my life that felt like a punishment behind me

and started to dream of my future with you.

All of this was possible because you came to me.

You saved me...

and changed me.

So, from now on,

my trust and common sense

only dwell with you standing in front of me.

Prince Gyeongseong.

Even if this world disappears,

I choose to be with you.

If I can be with you,

I won't be afraid even if everything ends.

At this very moment,

I'll only look at you, my most precious one.

Wedding gift for sale!

Wedding gift for sale!

Wedding gift for sale!

Wedding gift for sale!

Aigoo, no one here wants to buy a wedding gift.

Should we go to another house?

Wedding gift for sale!

Wedding gift for sale!

You made it. Please come inside.

We have some hot meat and delicious wine.

I already had plenty of meat and wine.

What are you doing?

Lay out the straw mat.

Yes.

All right, all right. Since we want to digest,

let us lie down here

and rest a bit.

Aigoo, sit down, sit down.

Come on now.

It is better to lie down inside.

Gosh, brothers!

Please use your muscles.

I know.

Use your head if you do not have muscles.

What if I can't get married because of my brothers?

That cannot be.

Father, Father.

The gift carrier needs to come in.

This will take all night at this rate.

Father.

We need our secret weapon.

Secret weapon?

No, no...

Father.

Please.

Come inside now.

The Cha family had this wine for generations.

It is a 30-year-old mountain ginseng wine.

M-Mountain ginseng...

W-We will not be tricked by a mountain ginseng wine.

How about...

a cocktail made with mountain ginseng wine?

Cocktail?

If you come inside, you will be able to try

the famous cocktail immediately.

C-Cocktail? M-Me?

Yes, yes. I-I am coming. Cocktail...

Yes, let us go in. Let us go.

Come on in.

For Prince Gyeongseong and Cha Sun Chaek to live happily ever after

and for everyone's longevity.

Cheers!

Cheers!

We will create a wave starting from the right.

If anyone refuses to do it,

we will start from the top.

All right. Start.

All right. Let us start.

Brother-in-law, I have no ill feelings.

This is good for your vitality.

First beating!

First beating!

This is good for blood circulation.

Second beating!

No...

- Gosh. - Go easy. Easy.

This opens your eyes wide.

Third beating!

Third beating!

We will beat you as much as we love you.

Stop beating him, brothers!

He barely managed to make it back alive.

What if he dies again?

Sun Chaek, sit back just for today.

Yes, Sun Chaek.

This is good for your husband.

Sun Chaek, people do not die so easily.

Do you really think so?

You beat me 35 times in total so far.

Have you been keeping count?

The more you hit me,

the more you will see me privately.

I plan to live a long life, thanks to you.

Let us meet up often... often...

often for a long time.

What are you doing? Put him down.

Does it hurt a lot?

You know, Prince Seonghyeon.

I heard the boat he was on

headed for exile caught in a storm and sank.

That also...

must be the ending Prince Seonghyeon chose.

What do you think my ending would be like, then?

After seeing how you made a big decision regarding Prince Seonghyeon,

I became curious about the world you will create.

However...

I will put down that sword...

going forward.

I am not sure if I have told you this before.

I inflicted an unbearable wound on you as a child.

I am truly sorry.

This is my apology as your uncle.

So pretty.

My Lady!

My Lady is so pretty.

So pretty.

So beautiful!

So handsome...

The person who catches my bouquet

will be the next person to have a wedding.

I'll toss!

Over here!

She's happy. She's smiling.

You know...

can I have your first night one more time?

You are so forward and not shy.

You sure are my bride.

Aigoo, My Lord!

Oh, my.

(The End)

It's really over.

Mo Eum!

Let's eat before we start the group project.

You know the new snack bar nearby, right?

Join us quickly.

Okay, I'll be there.

(The Obsessive Tyrant - Spinoff)

The story continues to unfold.

(The Obsessive Tyrant - Spinoff)

I'll get you! I'll get you!

I got you!

Aigoo, what is all this ruckus?

They are destroying everything in the house.

Play gently. Gently.

Why aren't you stopping them? What are you doing?

Seriously. How pathetic.

As you can see, we are playing with them.

Playing with them is not easy.

Take your uncles' attack!

Sun Chaek,

will you really have 12 children?

Would six not be enough?

Gosh, Father.

Look how nice and lively this is.

The more grandchildren you have, the better, isn't it?

We lose. Spare us. Please.

We lose.

Can you not return to the Hoseondang?

I did not hear that.

Gosh, let me do it.

No. I want Father to do it for me.

How stubborn.

Gosh, you little.

Not too bad, right?

Okay, let us see.

I cannot believe I am seeing the mighty

Prince Gyeongseong braiding his daughters' hair.

You will have to live longer.

In my old age, I want to travel and

and live a consistent life as I always have.

Hold tightly.

Hold tightly!

Gosh, no! Hold tightly!

Hold on. Let us switch orders.

Sir!

Here.

Wow, they look tasty.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Let us go, guys.

The handsome lord is back.

You should see me often to grow fond of me.

Forget everything else.

Only remember this one name.

Cho Eun Ae?

Yes, that is correct.

(Cho Eun Ae)

I will teach you again if you forget.

I love it so much.

The scary prediction said everything will end once we reach the ending.

But it meant that one story needs to end to start a new chapter.

You became the lead character in the life I gave up on.

I'm so proud of you.

I cheer for your future that will unfold.

- You're the lead character of this world now. - You're the lead character of this world now.

I did nothing, but the day is already over.

Loving someone even if you know the ending.

When did you come in?

I do not remember the last time we had an intimate moment.

What if someone sees us?

They probably were watching from the beginning.

Courageously not giving up

on your fate although the ending was predetermined

keeps us alive forever in a happy story.

It will be just the two of us from now on.

Don't disturb us.

(Thank you for loving "The First Night with the Duke")
