THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGION AND INCIDENTS

PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

EPISODE 9

This is the right address.

I think it was set here on purpose.

If she's being this thorough about hiding, it'll take some time to find her.

This made me confirm two things.

One is that Song Jeong-hye is with Lee Lim,

and the other is that even though it's work,

it's nice to go somewhere far with you.

Wherever it is.

Do you get tutored to learn phrases like that?

Surprisingly, I taught myself.

I guess this is why everyone...

Everyone commits treason?

Are you mad?

Do you think doing that is okay?

I mean, it's why everyone in the palace loves you.

You know how to joke in difficult situations.

I shouldn't have begun saying that. We don't have time.

That's what I was thinking.

You thought of a lot of things

in a short time.

Why would you make a joke like that?

It's a joke only I can make.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd be so startled.

I don't even know how to comfort you.

There's a person I like,

but his past is so dramatic. He's a victim of treason.

Your earth is still flat.

Yes, it's as flat as a thin pancake.

I guess you were troubled

since Song Jeong-hye

will have the face of my mother,

right?

I thought that maybe you'd want to see her.

Not at all.

Like how Yeong and Eun-sup are different people,

she is not my mother either.

The face is just a symbol of a person.

Then let me ask just one question.

How do you go back and forth between the two worlds?

Both you and Lee Lim.

I've answered all your questions until now,

and I will continue to do so.

Except for that question

you just asked.

All right.

Then it's really true that it's your first time dating?

That one's an exception too.

Shall we go now?

It's suddenly getting cold, don't you think?

In this world, we say that men should always keep their word.

Don't you say that in yours?

Oh, do you say that here?

Who's the girl you made steak and rice for?

I thought you had one question.

You didn't even answer one question so far.

I attended the Naval Academy.

You're the only woman in my life.

You have quite a wit.

I see that you don't.

You looked good in the navy uniform.

Why are you holding my hand?

Did you make steak and rice for Koo Seo-ryeong or not?

You didn't prepare the rice in that uniform, did you?

I barely made it on time.

Listen carefully, and keep this in mind.

I eat bread from this bakery every morning.

The bread here tastes exactly like the bread at the Royal Court.

Why would I need to keep that in mind?

I'm a busy person. Why did you bring me here?

You spread the jam pretty thoroughly for a busy person.

Bread should be eaten with jam.

So why am I here?

Keep in mind that it tastes great without jam as well.

And what I'm about to say now is even more important.

From now on,

you must be the real Unbreakable Sword.

You must've lost your mind.

Can you turn around a bit?

That looks like Yeong's coat.

100 percent cashmere.

The Unbreakable Sword?

I will do as you order.

I didn't want to brag about myself,

but I'm actually skilled at dealing with problems at the Public Service Center.

What should I do first, Your Majesty?

You're here.

Did you eat dinner?

I sent you a lot of clothes. Why did you come wearing that?

Don't waste your money.

I didn't wear expensive clothes even when we had rich in-laws.

That's a really long time ago.

You're right.

I brought some boiled fish.

Why don't you have just one bite with me?

How can I eat at this hour?

Just one bite, then.

But Mom.

You really didn't send me that newspaper?

It's salty. Eat that with rice.

And I really didn't send it. What kind of newspaper was it?

Never mind.

I guess my secretary made a mistake.

Lots of stuff gets sent to my office.

Is everything okay at home?

It's always the same, you know.

By the way...

About that dead Lee Lim...

Did he have a hidden child or something?

Don't be ridiculous.

He died the year after he committed treason without an heir.

Right?

But the customer who left the umbrella at the store

came to get it a few days ago.

He looked just like Lee Lim when he was alive.

So I thought

maybe he had a son.

Mom, you'll get in huge trouble if you say things like that.

The King doesn't have an heir yet.

A bastard of the traitor?

If you spread rumors like that,

it'll be the end of me.

Your daughter is the Prime Minister, you know.

I'm going to go and change.

All right.

I didn't tell anyone. You're the only one I told.

I really won't tell anyone.

YEONGSIN DRAGON SEES HOPE FOR THE FALL BASEBALL SEASON

Stay right here, okay?

I'll come back for you soon.

I'll be back soon, okay?

Today is the 6th day of the former King's funeral.

After his coronation, King Lee Gon

began his first duty as King, mourning his father's death for 26 days

-according to court laws. -Father...

The public is watching the young King's formality

-with a sad heart. -Father...

Father...

A black plum blossom on a white background...

-Father... -The people,

the wailing...

That boy who was crying...

That was really you?

Are you really

Lee Gon?

He heard my wailing.

A lot more people

have come over to this world than I had thought.

Answer my question, asshole.

Hands off, unless you want to die.

One thing is for sure.

You are the reason why I must return to my world.

It seems like

I am your king.

Can I ask

what else you remember besides the wailing?

A particular location

or person.

Help me,

then I will help you.

Whatever you're looking for,

I'm sure I'm the closest person to it.

You want to help me?

Then get lost to where you came from.

You too.

If I spot you again, I'll arrest you

for illegal firearm possession.

Don't worry.

He left as a detective,

and as a close friend of someone.

-But Your Majesty-- -I know.

Lee Lim brought him here, like the one in the basement.

He only remembers the emblem, so I guess

he came here when he was little.

Why bring a child here?

He must have

needed his parents.

Whether it was his parents in this world or ours.

I'll investigate this world while you're away.

Why did you call me outside?

-It's cold, let's-- -I met Eun-sup just now.

But he wasn't Eun-sup.

I guess you already knew.

Sin-jae,

how much have you seen?

What about you?

How far have you gone?

The science fiction you were talking about

was that jerk?

Do you really believe everything that jerk is telling you?

Yes.

-I do. -Why would you believe him?

-What do you believe? -Everything.

I believe everything.

I'll explain everything I can to you.

I actually need your help--

You must have lost your mom.

I'll find her for you.

Sin-jae...

Sin-jae...

Doctor!

Doctor, he's awake! My son is awake!

Can you see me?

Can you recognize me?

My baby, Sin-jae...

AUTOPSY REPORT

Cheers!

You did a great job, Eun-sup.

Congratulations on becoming a civilian.

Thank you, it's an honor.

You gathered for me on your day off.

Wow,

look at the marbling of the meat.

The meat is unbelievable.

How can it be so tasty?

You only need to flip the beef over once.

-Chief, enjoy your food. -Yeah.

Eat up.

Why aren't you eating?

You should eat too.

Congratulations, sir.

What? I'm two years older than him.

Oh, right.

Yes, that's right.

Hey, is Sin-jae coming or not?

I'll try messaging him again.

He's coming. He has to. We're eating barbecue.

You got Jangmi's message, right?

We're celebrating Eun-sup's discharge.

-Where are you? -Hey, Eun-sup!

Congratulations on your discharge!

Thank you. The world is my oyster now.

It's all mine.

SATURDAY CONCERT

A police officer visited the care center.

They sent the officer away without causing suspicion, so it's fine.

But Jang Yeon-ji caused some trouble and is in jail right now.

I canceled the service for the phone we gave her,

and I'm working to retrieve it.

And...

And?

That jerk Kim Gi-hwan disappeared.

I'm still looking for him.

A crack...

I hate that.

I suppose this is just for

answering the calls that you are waiting for.

Take your own life.

It is a suicide order.

VIOLENT CRIMES DIVISION SQUAD 3

PERSONAL INFO LEE SANG-DO (AGE 45)

This is a cooperative investigation that only we can do.

Keep shaking while you're being shaken.

Make a crack to regain balance...

Weren't you taking the day off?

You said you're going to play golf.

Yes, in the afternoon.

KU Group's legal team wants an interview with you.

Are you playing golf with them?

KU Group promised that they'll hire one million new recruits

during the first half of next year.

The King took all the credit for winning the war.

We should at least resolve the employment problem.

If that's the only reason, there's no need to meet them.

You said you wanted to know where Congressman Park's photo came from.

When are you free?

Chairman Choe was asking for your visit.

I guess he's bored.

Tonight.

The sky bestows the heart upon us,

and the ground

helps the spirit.

The sun and the moon are formed.

As the mountains and streams form,

lightning strikes.

A sage...

Sage...

Sage...

Sage...

A sage is moved

to defeat the evil of the mountains and streams.

Uncle.

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Your Highness.

Do you know

what the phrase on that sword means?

Yes, it states the duties of a king.

So will Your Highness

fulfill all those duties?

A sage is moved to defeat

the evil of the mountains and streams.

Wield it with deep thoughts

and make things right.

Do you remember my voice?

I remember yours.

You'll need to do a better job hiding.

I've just found out

that you're in the Republic of Korea.

You're wearing the shoes I bought for you, Prime Minister Koo.

You bought it for so many bitches that it became a trend.

They say even ex-husbands can be useful somehow.

That saying was right.

I'm a bit late in thanking you.

That photo of Congressman Park was useful.

How does KU get photos like that?

Can you not? You just sat down...

Don't ask leading questions.

What kind of wife spies on her husband 24 hours a day?

Just tell me why you called me here.

Isn't it obvious?

I was thinking that maybe I would get something in return for what I did.

How about a special pardon for Christmas?

I've been good.

Don't you know

that Santa doesn't give presents to guys

who commit a breach of duty, embezzlement, and diversion of funds?

Wow, I'm so disappointed.

I even donated to summer church camps.

I saw your photo with the King.

You were totally clinging to him.

A Prime Minister wiretapping the royal court?

That's treason, you know.

Don't blackmail me.

I still have the files from wiretapping you.

Guyeon tunnel project

seems to be the fishiest.

You're really scary.

I was just saying that because I'm worried.

Are you really trying to become the Queen now?

Can't I?

Greed is the most sincere emotion.

What's so bad about staying true to my emotions?

I wanted to become an announcer,

I wanted to get married to a rich man,

I wanted to become the Prime Minister,

and now I want to become the Queen.

There's no limited term for the Queen.

The King of the Kingdom of Corea accepts the people's decision

and allows Prime Minister Koo to form the Cabinet.

I...

came a very long way.

I climbed up here from the very bottom.

How can you be so ambitious your whole life?

I'm sincere about everything.

My greed and my ambition, too.

Don't even dream about a Christmas present

and just wait for Buddha's birthday.

Let's go to church instead of a temple.

Take care of that deal your legal team offered first.

And one more thing.

I keep getting mail from my mom, but she never sent any.

Are you getting blackmailed?

It could be a negotiation.

Find the ones who participated in the treason 25 years ago.

Why would you negotiate with the traitor's followers?

You want to catch the traitors to become the Queen?

And you want me

to do that for you?

If rumors spread about me trying to catch those traitors

a year before my term ends, I'll be finished.

This is what you're doing on your own.

If you want to at least go to a temple.

Is this how you ask for a favor?

Promise me we'll go to a temple, then.

Wow, this thing is pretty smart.

I only ordered food a few times, but it recommends the stuff Mr. Lee likes.

Enjoy your food.

Thank you.

Hey, where are you?

I'm here by the...

I'm here too.

Next to you.

Right here.

You found your way easily.

This place is a popular dating spot.

I guess you came here often in your world.

Of course, I've been here.

I knew it.

With who?

The Minister and Vice Minister of Land,

Infrastructure and Transport, four secretaries,

the mayor, directors, and section chiefs of Seoul--

Let's eat.

Couples in the Republic of Korea spend time near the water like this.

When they break up, they push each other.

This is pretty nice.

Alcohol, stars, water, chicken

and jealousy.

Everything is perfect.

Eat up and regain your strength.

And have a good trip.

You said you receive administration reports every Friday.

And today's Thursday.

You remember that?

What kind of condition is that?

Do you realize you're a bad boyfriend?

I'm risking punishment for leaking the case info by giving you this.

But I think the answer to this is in your world.

This person is dead in my world.

He is the son of the master Lee Gu-yong.

Your Majesty!

I already know the answer.

I've met him in person before.

You met Lee Sang-do?

Lee Sang-do

is alive?

Yes. I'll take care of this.

I'm giving you a job too.

I'm leaving Yeong here and taking Eun-sup instead.

What do you mean?

Lee Lim is here right now,

in the Republic of Korea.

Then you shouldn't leave.

If he's here right now.

I have to go. I should go and guard the path between our worlds.

He must be caught

in my world.

That is why I'm leaving Yeong here.

In the worst-case scenario,

the only one who can kill him in this world

is Yeong.

So,

this was really a matter of life and death.

I'm sorry about causing trouble

in your world.

I was pretending to be okay,

but I'm not okay.

You'll be back soon, right?

I'll be back soon.

It'll be like visiting the next town over.

That's how quick I'll be.

No way.

Don't come near me.

That's never going to happen. Do you know how long it took for it to grow?

I never grow my hair long.

You could grow it long during your vacation.

I'll just say you felt too lazy to cut it.

Should I just cut off your whole head instead?

We could just get rid of your head instead of your hair.

Can't you keep such thoughts just in your head?

Click, click, click.

You only think about the future, right?

People like that

can't win against people who only think about the present.

Sub-captain Seok, head to the bamboo forest near the race tracks right now.

His Majesty will be waiting for you there.

Take only a few guards, and don't get curious about anything.

Don't ask any questions.

It's the King's orders.

Your Majesty!

Captain Jo!

This man participated in the treason.

Lock him up in the deepest basement of the palace.

And I forbid you to make any records about him

or mention him to anyone.

-Yes, Your Majesty! -Yes, Your Majesty!

I'm telling you this in case you think that this is the end.

This is only the beginning

for those who committed treason.

This is the appropriate

and right measure.

JO YEONG

Why does it feel like I'm joining the military again? My gosh.

Put on a bulletproof jacket as soon as you get there.

It's not for your protection, it's for you to protect the King.

You must protect him with your life, all right?

This seems too thin. Can it really stop bullets?

I should wear three of these.

-Captain Jo? -Yes, sir...

I mean what?

Are you going home right away?

When should I make the report on what happened while you were away?

A North Korean accent?

North Korea?

The Northern region?

The North...

Winter is coming.

Pyongyang University?

Seok Ho-pil?

He must've been named after a TV series character.

Sub-captain Seok,

what I say from now on is top secret.

Yes, Your Majesty!

First, place guards around the bamboo forest.

Stand watch starting today until I give further orders,

and arrest anyone who appears.

Be aware especially of a man in his 70s.

Secondly, bring me all the security footage taken

near the events I attended during the past year.

As soon as possible.

Excuse me, Your Majesty, but...

Are you the one giving orders

and not Captain Jo?

Yeong is taking care of something more important.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Yeong, bring your laptop. It's your laptop, you understand?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

That's what you should say.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Lady Noh, His Majesty is here.

Did you even know that I came back?

Your King has returned to the palace, but you didn't come to see me once.

Well, you left without seeing me, Your Majesty.

I sent the vice-captain

and I received the report that you arrived.

I saw your face too.

You may leave now.

Oh, no.

Look how rough your face has become.

Did you stay up every night worrying about me?

Is that why?

My goodness.

I've been at peace since you weren't here.

I slept soundly from early in the evening.

There must be a lot of work to catch up on.

You should go now.

Why do you keep telling me to go?

Why aren't you asking me anything?

I was going to tell you everything

if you asked me where I was.

I already know.

I know

where you're going.

You're chasing your destiny, aren't you?

This is a secret between you and me, right?

-Your Majesty. -Carry on with your work.

Yes, Your Majesty.

All right, let's finish up.

Your Majesty, is there something you'd like to order--

No.

My goodness!

How can you make such a mistake?

How could you

when you don't even have

the guts

nor the caliber?

Until I give further orders, put him under house arrest

and forbid him from entering the palace.

He is to be forbidden from

contacting and meeting anyone else from now on.

SEOUL JONGNO POLICE STATION

Sin-jae went on vacation?

He's using all 21 days in one go.

You don't know what's going on either?

I'll try calling him.

Is something going on at home?

My gosh, maybe his mother...

Hey, stop it.

I'm just worried.

I think it's because of her.

Sin-jae.

Hwa-yeon, this is Tae-eul.

SIN-JAE

I knew today was going to be my lucky day.

We have a precious guest even before opening hours.

Detective Kang, I guess you're feeling a bit down.

They say sharing your sadness with someone makes it better.

Do you want to share it with me?

If you want to do some sharing, why don't you share some peanuts?

The food here is too expensive.

I'm so upset that you're worried about the cost of our food.

Why are you so humble?

Anyhow, thank you for visiting when you're having a rough time.

You made the right choice.

Stuff like this

can be comforting when things get rough. Here.

You can have all the food you want with this.

Here.

Do you accept payments in installments?

And count this one out, I didn't open it.

Why did you come here then?

Someone I know calls me their brother.

That person is really smart and persistent.

The only place I can stay hidden from that person is here.

Hey.

Bring some peanuts to room nine.

Do you need anything else?

Let me use this room for a few days.

I'm on vacation,

but I have nowhere to go.

If you're on vacation, just go somewhere nice and warm!

Damn it.

My gosh.

Where are you going?

To church.

For evening service.

Why can't you just ask me for money instead!

Damn it.

JO YEONG

Who's the one who said,

"Yeong is simple, and I'm good at math"

and told me to bring his laptop as if he could find out the password right away?

It may seem like I'm having a hard time unlocking it, but it's a misunderstanding.

I'm just checking the court's security levels.

Yeah, right.

But what's in it? Why are you making such a fuss to unlock it?

Your Majesty, Prime Minister Koo is here.

The end-of-year report.

Is it that time of year already?

Yes. A year passed by so quickly.

Do you want anything for a late-night snack?

Sweet potatoes.

I'm on a diet right now.

I'll be off, then.

Hello, Your Majesty.

Welcome.

We have heightened the security at the palace.

Captain Jo will be with us the whole time.

As you already know,

we'll be staying up all night since I'm receiving a year's worth of reports.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Sin-jae? He didn't come here.

Didn't he go to work? Why are you looking for him here?

That's classified information.

Just call me if he comes here.

Okay. But Tae-eul,

isn't Eun-sup

acting strange these days?

Eun-sup? Why?

I didn't notice anything weird.

It feels like

he's not as handsome as before.

He looks a bit lame.

What's up with his hair?

You really have a strange taste.

Let's meet at the hotel from now on.

Na-ri and Eun-sup are going to fall apart at this rate.

What do you want?

Can you sell this for me?

I heard you know a decent place that pays you well.

Yeah, I do.

I've been selling so much stuff that the owner thinks I'm a corrupt cop.

Anyway, I'll sell this for you, so let me use the hotel room too.

-I need a place of my own. -His Majesty isn't in there...

You're here.

But what do you want to get with the money from selling this?

I need revenue

to gain mobility.

DRIVING TEST VEHICLE

The driving test will begin now.

-You don't have a license? -Congratulations. You have passed.

SOCIAL SECURITY CARD DRIVER'S LICENSE

I took the test.

I usually pass any kind of test I take.

I got perfect scores on CSAT.

I don't know what that is,

but why don't you have a license when you took the test?

Because I couldn't turn right or left.

A man should always go straight.

I have a good enough reason.

But why are you trying to go when you can't even turn left or right?

If you're thinking of it as an overseas trip, you better stop.

You'll get caught when you open...

Should I just rip your throat?

If you lose your voice...

Hey!

Hey.

I know you care about King Arthur,

but you won't be as sincere as I am for my siblings.

Well, King Arthur told me

that this is how I can protect my siblings.

Are you doing well, Jo Eun-sup?

If we're to maintain the budget for education,

we need drastic changes for the medical sector.

Do we really need to choose one?

The department is stating that we need to lower the welfare budget

and increase the budget for factors such as technology and service.

For national interest.

Medical service and education are the people's rights, not benefits.

Let's move on.

There's a supplementary budget

of 5.2 trillion won for restoring the disaster area.

Yes, it's been designated as a special disaster zone

and we're doing our best to restore and help people to live their daily lives.

Great.

Did that traveler return safely?

Is work boring?

She returned to her daily life.

DONGNAE PENITENTIARY

I hope she had a good time in the Kingdom of Corea.

I'm much more productive after I eat something spicy.

I work faster, too.

Yeong, let's eat.

Wow, how can you sweet potatoes for every meal?

Effort never betrays you.

You need kimchi with sweet potatoes.

DELICIOUS KIMCHI

Do you know about this combination?

Head Court Lady Noh always gave these to me.

It's really tasty.

Yeong.

Let's hurry up and eat.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why aren't you eating?

I'll gain weight if I eat three times a day.

Aren't you getting married, Your Majesty?

That was a rather random question.

Why?

-Do you want to marry me? -Can I?

No.

I already proposed to someone else.

What's the next agenda?

Wow.

This world is very aggressive.

I told you, we're closed for today.

You need to make an appointment first.

He's here for me. You can go home now.

All right.

I guess the sweets aren't helping.

Or have you just realized that they don't help?

Have a seat.

I want to get some sleep.

Can I get a prescription?

Not without an examination.

Don't turn me into a real quack and just sit down.

I'm not the type that goes on about your subconscious or whatever,

so don't worry.

I believe a quick diagnosis and the right medication is better.

Like a cold.

Can't you just introduce me to a quack?

I came here because even alcohol isn't helping.

Are you sure?

Maybe you just didn't drink enough.

Are you sure you're a real doctor?

Wow.

This is amazing.

Wow.

Eun-sup?

Take that off.

The King never shares his belongings with other people.

Damn, you're so cheap.

I wanted to get some skincare, too.

By the way,

how did you unlock Yeong's cell phone?

Like this.

Have you still not unlocked his laptop?

Should I give it a try?

I appreciate your sense of challenge.

But security in the Royal Court isn't something that simple.

Wake me if you do unlock it.

Then I'll give you one too.

This is a special skincare product

made especially for the King.

I unlocked it.

J, and then 13 zeros.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten, eleven, twelve. And another zero.

"Jo" as in trillion, and "Yeong" as in zero.

We didn't take any photos together.

It's too cold outside now.

You should grow here from now on.

What did you plant?

Seeds I got from your world.

But it's not sprouting.

Is it being shy?

Listen up.

I am your King.

I order you to grow well.

I order you to sprout and bloom

in the garden of the woman I like. It's a King's Order.

And you're still saying that it's your first time dating?

Of course. That statement is never going to change until the next life.

The seeds I scattered in that strange place...

Didn't they sprout?

I told you.

There's no wind, sunlight, or time there.

I was just asking.

Did you try going to the edge?

I tried to, but I couldn't reach the edge.

I shouldn't stay there long.

Even if I spend one day in there,

two months flow by outside.

Then

if you're in there, you won't grow old.

Hang on.

Then I could actually be older than you.

No wonder. You seemed to be getting younger these days.

Even if I can have eternal life in there,

I'll come to you.

If I'm late, it's because I'm on my way.

Don't think about coming to me. Think about going together.

Don't go somewhere nice without me.

I think I'm going to miss you so much.

Can't you

come with me?

Can't you live with me

in my world?

I'm adding one more of the 17 things.

Don't ask me to come with you.

What about this world?

What about my dad?

And Na-ri,

and the station?

Saying that just puts me in a tight spot.

What was that?

-Did you just stop me from talking? -No, I stopped myself.

This is what we do when we have

too many things to say.

That's the law in...

I have to follow the law.

I'm a civil servant, you know.

I'm seeing

something beautiful again.

What?

Was I mistaken?

Haesong Bookstore,

May 27, 2022.

2022...

Is it an error?

Tae-eul wasn't

wearing that on that day.

What is this?

Did you retrieve the cell phone?

I'm on it.

I've been investigating other stuff these days.

You know, Kang Sin-jae.

I heard that he went to see Song Jeong-hye's son at the cinerarium.

And the cop that visited the care center before...

It's a bitch named Jeong Tae-eul.

I looked into it, and she's the one who caught Jang Yeon-ji.

She's looking for her phone, too.

Kang Sin-jae...

The wrong move I made.

And Jeong Tae-eul,

the move I didn't make.

Don't worry. I'll find it first.

Should I just bury them both somewhere?

Just get rid of Jang Yeon-ji,

and don't do anything else.

I need to leave again.

I think my nephew will know by now.

That bookstore you asked me to find, Your Majesty...

There is no Haesong Bookstore registered anywhere in this Kingdom.

I looked online, and even through used bookstores, but there's nothing.

And this.

I got all the security footage of the event you asked for.

Good job.

Keep looking for the bookstore.

Look for ones that closed in the past, too.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Back then, he was in the Republic of Korea.

So if the time stops again,

he's in the Kingdom of Corea.

We're closed today.

I'm sorry.

The door was open.

Yes. I'm waiting for a delivery.

If there's anything you're looking for, I'll get it for you.

Oh, it's all right.

I was just thinking of looking at medical books if you have any.

We don't have medical books here.

Nobody comes looking for them.

Oh, I see.

But

have we met before?

I've seen you.

You're a member of the royal family.

Sometimes I forget that.

Sorry for the trouble.

You come here every year without telling me in advance.

Because you're here every year as if we've made a promise.

Have you found any answers yet?

I found a symbol,

but I'm having trouble with it because the solution isn't good.

I'm sure you will be able to solve it.

You've always done so.

Uncle,

do you believe in fate?

It's a hard concept for a math and science person.

It's not something clear.

People usually tell fate to move aside and challenge it.

Should I fight against it?

You can never know what will happen in life.

But if there is a place you want to reach

even if

your life may be at risk,

that is fate.

The footsteps you take

by risking your whole life is what's fate.

Is there a place you want to reach?

Yes.

There is.

Then you just have to go there. You don't need to fight.

I hope there is a beautiful lady there.

You should really get married this year.

If I find the solution,

I will visit you again with a woman who argues that the earth is flat.

All right.

I will be waiting, Your Majesty.

It's the first sunrise of the new year.

Lieutenant Jeong Tae-eul,

happy New Year.

Lee Lim

has finally come over to the Kingdom of Corea.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020

It's the King!

I'm sure

he is watching me.

But he isn't in the videos.

Why?

What have I missed?

Then

if you're in there, you won't grow old.

This

doesn't make sense.

No way.

He's...

delaying time inside that place.

Someone who does not age.

A near-immortal life.

That is what you want

to achieve.

Eternity.

Traitor,

Lee Lim!

Subtitle translation by Ju-young Park

"Traitor Lee Lim." Is this true?

You're still alive.

I'm looking forward to the next time we meet.

Those with the same faces...

The other day, you asked me how far I've gone.

...are stealing...

I tried calling his name. The name that I remembered.

...their counterparts' lives.

Lee Gon.

Is there something going on that I don't know?

Can you really do it?

And for some people, it gives them the courage to face their fate.

Prince Imperial Geum.

Can you really abandon everything in this world

and become the Queen of the Kingdom of Corea?
