Why did you do it?

I loved you...

I loved you so much...

How could you?

Episode 3

Wol Ryung... I'm certain that Wol Ryung is back!

Wol Ryung! You came back...

Who... are you?

I made mogwort soup, eat this for now.

Little fellow...

You have Wol Ryung's eyes.

Is that so?

I'm not sure of that.

What his face was like... What his eyes looked like...

The way he smiled...

I can't remember any of it.

I had told him to stab your heart with that.

Because Wol Ryung could have lived if he had stabbed you.

But... why didn't he stab me?

He said you were the woman who made his heart flutter for the first time in a thousand years.

He probably couldn't hurt you only to survive alone.

That was Wol Ryung's love.

Now it's your turn to hold on to this dagger.

Because it is the last possession left by Wol Ryung, who loved you and believed in you fully.

I wanted to kill him.

I may give birth to a monster child...

it'd be better to kill it.

I had truly decided to do so myself.

Aigoo! It must have been hard to travel such a long way.

Have you been well? (speaking Japanese)

Did you have any difficulties?

That a human is such a weak and feeble being...

Such a foolish being that realizes the worth of something precious too late..

As such, I don't deserve to be forgiven.

I let my loved one down into the abyss of despair.

This poor wretch who even wanted to kill his child, please don't forgive her.

Because I will be the one taking responsibility for all these sins.

Please... take care of this child.

Don't make him live a sad and lonely fate like Wol Ryung.

Please let him live plainly among humans as a true human's child.

It is the last request of this foolish mother.

Let him live as a human's child...?

As a true human's child among humans...

Haha! That's right, hahaha!

Please eat as much as you would like.

Here, here!

Chunho, give me some water.

Aigoo, that's refreshing!

It's a pity that you cannot drink any wine.

Can't be helped. They oversee the salt trading rights of the area.

I have to get on their good side.

Things haven't changed. They can't say no to free food or free women.

The ambitious and self-righteous are more of a headache.

Those with greed for money are easier to deal with.

Wait...

Do you hear a sound?

What sound are you talking about?

I think I heard a child crying.

I don't hear anything.

No, I'm sure I'm hearing a baby crying.

Please stop for a moment.

Aigoo.

Isn't that a baby crying?

-Why would there be a baby here? - I know, right?

There, over there!

Ah! Over there...

What is it?

What is it all of a sudden?

What is this? Isn't it a baby?

What kind of terrible person would abandon a baby in a river?

My sentiments exactly.

Aigoo...

You've got yourself a load of good luck. You just picked up a fortune!

You've gotten yourself a load of good luck.

Who are you?

I'm So Jung. Let me take a look.

In my travels from here to there, I have learned how to read the signs from the heavens.

If you, my Lord, happen to take this

child and raise him, you will be blessed with a huge fortune.

Huge fortune?

From your face, I can see that you are bound to control a great fortune.

However, right now, whatever you try isn't going the way you want...

Then, if I take and raise this bundle of good luck, everything will go well?

Can you promise me that this bracelet will not come off until he is 20 years old?

What is this?

It's to ward off evil, so to speak.

Ward off evil?

If you raise this child without taking off this bracelet until he is 20 years old,

the accumulated karma will make you prosper in everything you do.

Are you expecting me to believe such nonsense?

The woods, trees, and winds present here

will all become witnesses to what I have said.

Ohh...

You are quite lucky, Master Park, to have found a bundle of good luck at a picnic!

While we're at it,

I'll come up with a name for him. Since he was abandoned in a river, how about the name Kang Chi?

Kang for river, Chi for abandon. Together, Kang Chi!

And give him Steward Choi's last name, and call him Choi Kang Chi!

Sirs, I haven't even gotten married yet.

Choi Kang Chi, what a great name!

What do you think, Master Park?

It was a mysterious place, a dangerous mountain forest that didn't easily allow the approach of humans...

but another legend was just beginning, called...

Kang Chi...

Choi Kang Chi.

So what did he do?

Did he raise the child that was thrown away in the river?

Of course he raised him!

What about that nobleman?

Did he really become a rich man?

Of course! Of course he became a rich man!

That nobleman who took and raised that child abandoned in a river,

after that everything he touched turned

turn to gold! Pure gold. He became the richest of rich men.

He became the owner of the most expensive inn of the region,

called the 100 Year Inn!

There are more than 100 servants working at the inn,

and there are over 10 apartment buildings to house the guests

with over 50 rooms.

There are two stables for cows and also two stables for horses.

There are baths full of fresh water where the customers can relax.

And in the kitchen of each guest house...

all kinds of delicacies are prepared to satisfy the guests.

Wow! That sounds yummy!

Not only the guests from the eight provinces,

but also guests from Ming and Japan flock to their gates!

If he's that rich, he must have a lot of gold and silver.

Oh my... There's more than just gold and silver.

In all of the 12 storage rooms,

all kinds of treasures are overflowing.

Wooow...!

So at one point, there were a lot of thieves there.

You thief!!

But after they got guards,

no thieves ever came in again.

That's not all...

I did wrong.

Please have pity on me.

Just this once, please forgive me.

Master, what should we do?

Are you the one who tried to steal from the 100 Year Inn?

My Lord!

I have committed a horrible sin.

I have an elderly mother, a wife, and seven children to feed.

They've already gone five days without food.

I wasn't thinking straight.

I truly have committed a horrible crime.

Please spare me, my Lord!

Use one bag for food, and use the other bag for planting.

If you bring me the crops after farming, I will buy them from you at a good price.

T-Thank you.

How can I

ever repay you?

Live well.

It will be payment enough if you live well.

From now on my life is dedicated to you!

Whenever you will ask me to give my life to you, I will give it!

The generosity and kindness of Master Park of that inn was so great.

Thanks to him, less and less people went hungry.

The people in the surrounding areas came to respect Master Park greatly.

Wooooow!

So, what do you think? Should you grow up to be someone with good character and generosity like Master Park?

Or shouldn't you?

We should!

Ah! I have a question.

Yes?

What happened to the baby from the river?

What?

I'm talking about the baby Master Park found floating in the river.

I'm curious about what happened after that? What happened then.

Well the thing is...uh...the thing is...

Kang Chi!

Kang Chi, where are you? Choi Kang Chi?

Kang Chi Hyungnim? He isn't here.

What do you mean, he isn't here?

I told him to finish the work in the storage by the hour of the horse!

What's the matter?

Is Kang Chi Hyungnim in trouble again?

He is! He's in a huge trouble indeed!

What?

Are your ears stuffed or something?

I told you to bring out Kang Chi! Why isn't anybody responding?

Why are you searching for Choi Kang Chi?

Who would you be?

I am Park Tae Seo who is in charge of the inn.

Why are you causing such ruckus at our inn.

You really need me to spell out to you why I'm here?

Who do you think is responsible for making their faces like that?

Are you saying that Choi Kang Chi is responsible for this?

If you know it already, bring him here right now.

Either I'll strangle him myself or take him to the authorities; it ends today!

I understand, so go back for now.

I'll contact you again after I find out what happened.

Contact my ass!

I'm not taking a single step until that bastard comes before me.

What are you doing?

Bring Kang Chi here NOOOOW!

Wow....

Our lady is so beautiful.

So, today's visitor is the lady of Magistrate Oh of Sambong?

He's not a magistrate; he's an assistant minister now.

An assistant minister? Then, about Junior Rank 2 then.

Yes, he recently received the appointment from the King, and the whole family will be moving to Han Yang next month.

That's why they are hurrying the marriage.

If he wants to start a life in Han Yang, he must need money for politics.

That's why he needs father's money.

And that must be why they are rushing this marriage.

Wouldn't you agree, Kang Chi?

Have you no respect to call me by my name? I'm 2 years older than you!

So what? The way you act, you're like a little brother 2 years younger.

How is it that the older you get, the more boring you are?

You used to be so cute, following me around calling me "brother, brother."

Back then, I was childish, but now..

But now?

Soon, I will be a daughter-in-law of the household of an assistant minister.

Why bother? How are you going to handle being in a position that doesn't suit you?

What do you mean, that it doesn't suit me?

As far as I know,

you're someone who can't stand to lead a boring life.

You won't be happy at such a boring place. I know you too well.

You shouldn't be here acting like this.

The lady's mother will be here soon.

Oh my!

How could this happen, really?

My lady it's your mother, your mother!

Miss Chung Jo, the Madam is here.

Chung Jo, it's your mother. Are you in there?

Chung Jo?

Ah, yes Madam.

The Lady is still getting ready.

Hurry. Hurry, go out this way.

Are you serious?

As you said, this marriage is arranged for the benefit of the two families.

Are you

serious about this kind of marriage?

If you wait a bit longer, she'll be ready soon, my Lady.

Move aside.

Mother..

I was just about to head out.

Was it Kang Chi? Did he come here again?

That's impossible.

I have not seen a hair of older brother Kang Chi.

I just had the window open because the spring wind felt nice.

When there's talk of marriage, you should avoid even the spring wind.

How many times did I tell you that this marriage is just as important to us as it is to them.

Even though you and Kang Chi grew up like brother and sister,

Kang Chi's station is much lower than yours.

You are old enough to differentiate between the classes. Do you understand?

I understand, Mother. Don't worry.

I asked them to get tea ready on the patio.

Lady Gong is waiting outside. Greet her properly first,

and bring her there.

Yes, Mother.

Ah, Tae Seo.

Did you forget already that mother said not to come here?

How could I forget? I wasn't visiting, I was just passing by.

Then...

What I said is true! I was just passing by.

Ma Bong Chool of Nolmokjae is here to see you.

Just make them leave quietly.

We have an important guest in the main building today.

Do you guys have a death wish?!

W-W-What?

What did you say?!

Kang Chi!

You guys!

Do you know what this place is?

What do you mean, "what is this place"? It's the 100 Year Inn.

Then who am I?

Who else are you, you're Choi Kang Chi!!

Ah...you know well.

Then you must know this well, too.

That those who enter the 100 Year Inn and cause trouble and mayhem,

I, Choi Kang Chi, will punish and beat them all to dust.

What did you say? Beat us? This bad mouthing kid.

Look at you talking, when you're nothing but an orphan who was brought in.

Listen here! Be careful what you say!

You have such a nasty temper for someone without any roots.

Counting on Master Park's support, you've been acting up like a madman.

Now you've become a bastard that pesters the good folks like us!

Hyung-nim!!! Hyung-nim!

Choi Kang Chi!

I won't make this long.

Shut up and leave before I count to 3.

One...

Did you just kick me? Ahh... You bastard!

Why are you like this? I said to send them off quietly.

Two!

I told you there is an important guest here, Kang Chi. Stop this!

Three!!

I told you to stop!!

You bastard!

You stop as well!

I'm the one who was attacked! Didn't you see it yourself?

Will 10 yang be enough? - What!?

How is 10 yang?

Hey, Park Tae Seo!

Ah do you think 10 yang will cover all this?

20 yang.

Then that will clear all this up.

You bastard! Is 20 yang a dog's name?!

By the way, I wonder how much this is?

I guess I'll have to add 10 more. 30 yang?

Do you want to die!?

I understand, 30 yang. Is that it?

Are you crazy!? Giving that guy 30 yang!

You're the one who made the 20 into a 30 yang, so shut up.

I shall do what the young Master has said and accept the 30 yang.

50 yang!

50 yang? 50 yang??

Let's change it to 50 yang, but...

What?

If you can drag me to this broom, then we'll give you 50 yang.

Kang Chi!

Doesn't 50 yang sound good to you?

How about 50 yang if you bring me here on my knees?

Doesn't that sound good?

How is it? You want to try?

Didn't you guys hear him? He gave a clear order.

Hurry and catch that guy!

Choi Kang Chi...

I made this tea with the first blossoms of a lotus flower.

Everything you say and do is pretty like a lotus.

No compliment can be too good for you.

Ahhh... you son of a bi***!!!

Once in a while there are some loud guests here that cause a ruckus.

Guest rooms and private quarters are separated. So please do not worry.

Kang Chi?

Yah! Choi Kang Chi!

What are you doing...?

50 yang guys! 50 yang!

It's 50 yang for us!

We finally caught him!

What are you guys doing?! Hurry and get him! It's 50 yang!

Stop right there!

What is this ruckus?

Ah, Lord...

Kang Chi, are you ok?

Kang Chi you troublemaker! Stand up!

The 50 yang Kang Chi promised.

Since he's on his knees and bowed his head even, are you happy now?

Of course, my Lord.

Than... I guess we can take it...?

If that is all, please leave.

Aigoo of course, we should leave now.

Nooow, let us go!

You bastards!

Why are you yelling, when you didn't do any good?

Just ask for forgiveness!

What was it this time?

Pardon?

When you fight like this, it's one or the other.

He's done damage to our inn, or you've seen him bother a weak man.

Which one was it?

As a man, I can't make any excuse for my action.

It's all because of my temper and lack of self-control.

I did wrong!

Who can blame a youthful fist fight?

But, Kang Chi... You're an adult now. Soon, you'll be the steward of this inn,

assisting Tae Seo. You should have handled this more wisely.

I have no words to say Lord.

Then, stay there until the hour of the dog, reflecting on your actions today.

Let us leave now.

Grow up, please. Will ya?

For how long will we let that child be?

Did Lady Gong go home?

I begged for forgiveness and sent her home with some silk.

I'm so embarrassed and ashamed.

I beg you, please send that child Kang Chi away from here.

Please?

There is less than a month until he turns 20.

When this month ends,

Will you then send him away?

Dear.

I feel ominous about that Kang Chi.

Since the day you brought him here, I felt it.

An orphan child?

Right when our first child is to be born?

I couldn't possibly abandon him just like that.

I won't allow it.

I refuse!

I cannot give shelter to a child I don't know.

What if he brings the opposite of good luck?

We haven't heard anything from the ships to Ming for two months.

Moreover, our family fortune is dwindling down.

Dear...

Oh no! What to do! His head is bleeding.

Aigooo...

What happened here?!

I'm sorry my Lord, I accidentally

and it suddenly it fell on his head.

My lord! The baby!

Husband...

What have you brought into the house!?

This is too ominous.

Please send that child out now. Now!

Dear!

Hot water! Hot water!

Aigoo, hurry!

My lady!

What should we do, my Lord? The Lady is having a difficult delivery.

The Lady and the child could both be in danger.

It is a type of exorcist.

If you do not take this bracelet off until the baby turns 20, and you are the one to take care of him,

Then you will have good fortune in anything that you do.

What are you?

Are you really a buddle of fortune?

Or are you a cursed baby?

My Lord! A baby has been born!

It's a son!

Is my wife alright? Is she alright?

Yes, she is fine! The lady and the baby they're both fine!

My Lord! My Lord!

Important news has just come in!

The boats that you thought were lost at sea have returned!

What did you say? The boats have returned?

All 3 of them?

Yes, my Lord! All of 3 of them came back!

Now we can live happily! We can live!

If you take care of this child.

Then everything you do will be succeed.

Let the wood, trees, and winds.

Be the witnesses to my words.

Chung Jo!

What are you doing here? Don't you know women are not allowed in the guest house?

So you're saying that you won't eat?

If you were going to bring me food, you should have brought me chicken.

Why did you do it?

Even if you do that, the marriage wouldn't be called off.

You know that.

As you live, there are times when you have to do things you don't want to do.

It's the same with this marriage.

If you like it, you like it. If you hate it, then you hate it. Why should you do something you don't like?

You have to be patient and make sacrifices to protect something dear.

What is the thing that needs to be protected?

Family.

I may not be a strong girl,

But if my marriage can secure my Father and my family's well being,

moreover, if it means the 100 year inn will grow bigger,

then I'm fine with it.

I can do that!

The 100 Year Inn, you, the Lord, and everyone here, I can protect you all.

I will protect you all! I'm strong, and you know it, too.

Of course I know.

But there are some things that can't be done with strength alone.

Strategic partnerships and politics are such.

Without all of that...

What is in your heart?

Do you even like me?

Kang Chi..

You don't have to say anything. Just answer my question.

One...

Two...

Three...

One...

Two...

Three...

♫ Love hurts...♫

♫Like a cold♫

♫Tears are bitter,♫

♫Because I am lovesick♫

♫Even if I only look from far away,♫

♫The person who made me smile♫

♫The one who made my frozen heart♫

♫Melt slowly, slowly with the warmth of love♫

Ah, the night is kind of cold. We should go in.

♫Love hurts...♫

♫Like a cold♫

♫My tears are bitter, because I am lovesick♫

♫My heart is calling only you,♫

♫Only you,♫

♫Like a scream♫

♫Although it hurts, and hurts, and hurts like this,♫

Ahoooo!!

There is less then a month until he turns 20.

Let's keep him for one more month.

What if something were to happen during that time period?

What will you do then?

Don't tell me you don't know that the child Kang Chi has feelings for our daughter Chung Jo?

Chung Jo and Kang Chi grew up like a sister and a brother since they were little.

What you are worried about will never happen.

But something has happened.

If you won't do it, then I guess I have no choice but to send him away myself.

No good.

What do you mean by that?

You don't have any dating luck.

Men need to have some fat in their face.

They should have broad shoulders.

Then, girls will fall for them.

You're so thin and weak-looking.

But grandma, I'm a woman.

It's even worse. Even worse.

What man will fall for you when you go around looking like that?

Girls need to be delicate and feminine to get guys.

Girls need to be delicate and feminine to get guys.

What?

I can't look any more, one coin.

I think my fate is to live alone and die of old age.

Delicate and feminine?

What medicine will help me to become like that?

Don't get so concerned over a bad fortune teller's words.

I'm only asking this because I'm really curious.

A girl who can use arrows and swords . . .

is that really not charming to men? Is that true?

I'm not sure.

That's it. Of course.

No, that's not what I meant.

I'm alright. It's okay. Don't comfort me.

I'm going to die old like this anyway.

I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me.

Even an old shoe has a matching pair.

Why would a human being be matchless.

Elder, do you know how to tell fortunes, too?

You have a really bright and innocent soul.

Ohhh, you do know!

Can you see? If I have a destined pair or not?

Lady. - Shhh!

Quiet!

Ah let's...

let's seeeeee...

What is it?

Is there really no one? Am I going to die alone like that other grandma said?

It is not like that.

That person will appear soon.

Really?! When? Where!?

What kind of person is he?

If you could avoid him, it would be better to.

What? But isn't he my soulmate?

Isn't a soulmate something the heavens decide?

If I said I wanted to leave him and left, how is that a soulmate?

If you meet him, it may be unavoidable. But you can choose your fate.

Although it is fated to meet with this person, if you do not accept him then it may not happen.

Fate will end there. That's what I mean.

Is there any other way?

A good luck charm or something like that?

I had a close friend long ago who met a woman he shouldn't have met.

In the end he died.

There is no other way to stop a relationship between a man and a woman, except to avoid it.

In the end, what you're saying is that I'll live my life alone until I die?

Isn't that so?

You really have a good character, Miss.

If you wait, a much better fate will come to you.

Forget it. There is no need to comfort me.

A peach tree with a crescent moon hanging from it, is a bad sign for you.

No matter what, you must run away from the soulmate you will meet there.

Do you understand?

Where are you going suddenly?

There is someone I must meet. I may not come home tonight.

I understand.

Since Tae Seo is here there is nothing to worry about, so focus on your travel.

Hurry and ready the horse.

Yes, Lord.

I shall return.

What is all this?

They're the accounting books for the last three months.

Look through all of it it today, and make sure all of the calculations are correct.

Ah!

Why are you like this?

This couldn't be a punishment from yesterday, could it?

Because of you we lost 50 yang.

Since you lost it, shouldn't you pay it back?

Ah, at least give me work that involves my strength, Tae Seo.

Should I clean the stables?

Or, should I clean the 12 storage rooms?

Sit.

Don't move until you've finished all the work. Understand?

Do you understand? What an unforgiving guy!

I care about you, so I'm letting you off easy.

Don't complain, and finish all the work today, Okay?

Ah Ta-Tae Seo-ah!!

Gob Dan.

What are you doing here?

Sir, Lord Park Moo Sol of the 100 Year Inn is here.

Long time no see!

Thank you for traveling this far.

I couldn't wait a minute after I got your letter.

It's so nice here when that Kang Chi is so quiet all day.

I bet he is sleeping right now

Kang Chi, you rascal...

Chung Jo?

It's me. Are you inside?

Chung Jo?!

Gob Dan!

What is going on? Why did Chung Jo ask to meet here?

Did something happen?

She is waiting inside.

Please go on in.

Chung Jo?

Chung Jo, it's me. Where are you?

Chung Jo!

Madam.

There's nothing wrong about old proverbs.

They say you should never take in a child to raise as your own.

You're just the case.

What are you saying?

How dare you like my daughter, when you don't even know your own roots?

How can you approach Chung Jo with such a dishonest heart?

Please forgive me, Madam.

But...

I don't have any dishonest feelings for her.

If it's not that, what is it?

I'm being sincere.

What?!

What did you say? Sincere?

I am a lowly being without any roots,

but I still have sincerity.

That's why...

Shut up! You have a death wish tonight, don't you?!

Are you there?!

Yes!

What do you mean Bi Joo has been creating trouble?

He was an assistant minister in Han Yang, why so suddenly?

It was not sudden.

Since about 2 months ago, starting in Jin Joo area.

there have been strange murder cases.

Recently, It has moved onto the southern province.

So they have sent two men to investigate.

And what happened?

Even those men were brutally murdered.

Near Yeosoo, where your 100 Year Inn is located,

their bodies have been found.

Do you think that has a connection to Bi Joo?

For many months now,

his men have been taking over businesses in the southern province.

Those who stand against him have all been eliminated.

This has happened to Lee Gap Soo.

This also includes Choi Jun Mok and Nam Gil Man.

They have all been killed without a trace, and their sales rights

have been taken.

Then..

I think that you may be next.

Your 100 Year Inn.

Sir, we are finally here.

The bodyguards that are visible are about 10, so

the number of those moving unseen must be triple that.

That means at least 30 men are moving unseen.

Their murderous energy is really something.

Pick between the two options.

You will either leave the 100 Year Inn on your own accord,

and never come back again.

100 Years Inn is my home and my family.

Where do you expect me to go?

Please take back your order!

I guess there is no other choice.

If you won't leave on your own, then I'll be forced to make it impossible for you to ever return.

Listen here...

Roll him up

and beat him until the mat is in pieces. After that, throw him out on the streets.

But, my Lady, the Lord is away from the house.

I will talk to the Lord myself.

If the Lord finds out this low class jerk has feelings for our daughter, he will be in shock.

Kang Chi, the Lord will feel betrayed after the trust he had in you.

My Lady. My lady!

I don't want to do this, but it's an order from the Lady.

Don't blame us.

We have done what Father has told us, so let's go back for now.

About earlier today...

How could there be a moon on a peach tree instead of peaches?

Is there a deeper meaning behind it?

Those people's words should go through one ear and out the other.

I want to do that too, but I keep thinking about it. So what am I supposed to do?

That thought keeps going through my head over and over.

Ah, it's people.

I will attack from below, and you from the top.

Don't be like this.

I don't want to fight you hyungs!

Are you sure he's not really some kind of beast?

He got beat up so much, and yet he can still stand.

Capture him without hurting him.

Yes, sir!

Who are you?!

That is what I should be asking you?

Who are you to be doing this

to an unarmed man.

Don't get involved with this. Just go on your own way.

First, identify yourselves.

Are you the ones who are responsible

for the murders in the southern province?

I clearly told you to go on.

I'm sorry, but whatever I start, I finish it until the end.

And who are you!?

My sword will answer that.

I have already sent two people I trust.

I would like to leave those 2 people close to you.

How is it?

Chung Jo?

Is that you, Chung Jo?

Don't worry,

I, Kang Chi, will protect you.

♫Love came to me like spring rain,♫

♫And soaked me with moisture♫

♫My heart that was frozen,♫

♫You made it silently melt, and woke me♫

♫A hazy feeling,♫

♫My hidden feelings,♫

♫Although I know love and can feel it,♫

A crescent moon hanging from a peach tree.

The person you meet there, you must reject him, no matter what.

♫Love, only like the beginning,♫

♫After letting me to be born once again,♫

♫I'm smiling,♫

♫Today again, and tomorrow again,♫

♫I miss you,♫

♫I feel you,♫
