(All characters, places, and incidents in this drama...)

(are fictional and unrelated to historical events.)

I heard there's a girl His Majesty almost married.

I need you to take care of that girl.

Find her.

I don't think they're just here to steal your stuff.

Wait.

Stop.

What do you think you're doing inside my house?

How dare you thieves try to steal from an aristocrat's house?

Guards, over here!

Let's move out.

Come out.

It's all right, you can come out.

Are you okay?

A petty thing like this won't scare me.

What brings you here, by the way?

I came to take you for the debt you owe me.

Will you sell me to a courtesan house?

Don't be ridiculous.

I doubt there will be a courtesan house...

that will accept someone with your temper.

Then what will you use me for?

I'd like you to work for me as a matchmaker for now.

Seriously? Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?

- Did I pass? - You failed.

Those dirty hands that do anything that they're ordered to do.

That forehead that bashes anyone without any hesitation.

That hairdo, which is indistinguishable from a man's.

You've failed in everything.

Are you mocking me right now?

However, your sincere attitude towards your customers.

Let's say that's one thing you've passed in.

Why is it so hard for you to make a compliment?

Can I start work at Flower Crew tomorrow then?

I can even start today.

However, there are a few conditions.

What conditions?

First, you're prohibited to work on any side jobs...

outside of the work at Flower Crew.

That's insane. I make quite a profit through woodchopping...

Second, you must obey everything that I tell you to do.

- Third. - There's more?

If you do anything wrong during your three-month apprenticeship,

you will be fired anytime.

Seriously, I can't believe this.

Why on earth would I work...

under such unfair and unreasonable conditions?

Forget it. I decline your offer.

Goodnight.

I'll help you find Kim Soo.

I'm sure we'll be faster than the government office.

Are you sure you can really find him?

Then I have a condition too.

Gae Ttong.

Gae Ttong.

You know that old lady's tavern?

The food over there is so filthy...

- that it's hard to believe. - At least it tastes good.

- Look. - Oh, no.

I guess she was kicked out.

- That poor girl has nowhere to go. - Gosh.

I heard the groom ran away with all the money.

She must've been kicked out immediately.

- Gosh. - Poor thing.

I wonder where that poor girl is right now.

I didn't really notice it back then,

but this is one fancy mansion.

My gosh, you have flowers inside the house?

This is the nicest place I've ever been to.

You must be filthy rich.

Where did you get this?

It's so beautiful.

What's that room for?

"Authorized Personnel Only"?

Come here.

This room?

Oh, my! Is this my room?

My gosh!

I did request that you provide me with room and board,

but I wasn't expecting such a nice room like this.

Although I was still hoping it'd be somewhat nice.

Well, this is good enough!

It'll be just for a few days.

Sure thing. When my brother is back,

I'll leave right away even if you ask me to stay.

You have a brother?

Yes, he'll be back soon.

It's getting late. You should get some sleep.

Gosh, that cranky man.

Fine, I won't talk to you either!

By the way, those men dressed in black earlier...

What? Did he evaporate into thin air or what?

What are you doing at my house?

Had he not come to my rescue at that moment,

it would've been so dangerous.

Thank you!

They were trained assassins.

What were they doing there?

(Episode Three: Longing)

(The Third Flower: Zinnia)

What are you staring at? It's all dark.

My gosh, why does your face look so dark today?

It'll look a lot better if you take off that strange-looking thing.

I have to say, we're in deep trouble.

What is going on?

Yes, let's go.

They used to get no customers because of us.

Now, they'll become rich because of us.

This is all because of that guy, Lee Soo or whatever his name is.

His name is Kim Soo.

Still, that's a lot of people.

The temporary examination is being held.

What is that?

A civil service examination held to celebrate the new King.

What was that? Only a country bumpkin would talk like that,

but it sounds familiar.

What are you doing here?

But what does the civil service exam have to do with you guys?

Hey, you...

What is the fastest way to success...

for scholars of humble origins?

It's marriage.

Now that they have the title of passing the civil service exam,

they want to sell themselves when they're worth the most.

All the sellers and prospective buyers are here. Hence the crowd.

Hoon.

He'd like a word with you.

This lady. This one. And this one too!

You said no to everyone...

and picked this ugly stone head?

I said we should hire a female matchmaker who's competent and nice.

She seems to be competent and nice.

And she's a woman, so I hired her.

We have a thing called class.

We've lost all our clients because of that wedding that was called off.

And you want to hire the culprit?

Why is that Gae Ttong's fault?

The groom ran away because that stone head is cursed with bad luck.

Young Soo.

What?

Being hit by a stone is painful even when you're a stone head.

Stop hurling stones at her.

Hoon, please.

Fine, whatever. If you hire her, I'll leave.

Make your choose.

"Make your choice."

You get everything wrong. It's quite the skill.

Just for three months.

She'll assist us as an apprentice for just three months.

I'll let her go if you still don't like her after those three months.

I'm on board.

You're sure, right?

Don't change your words later on.

(Authorized Personnel Only)

Hey, Three-Month Temp.

Only authorized personnel can enter this room, okay?

Ko Young Soo.

Pretty ladies are always welcome here.

Why are you just standing here?

Lee Hyung Gyu, the scholar in Yangsagol, would like to see you.

- The King has a cold? - Yes, Your Majesty.

The court lady said...

that His Majesty even skipped the royal lecture and breakfast...

and is staying in his bedchamber.

Get ready. I shall go see the King.

If I cannot win his heart by throwing women in his way,

I must charm him with my motherly affection at least.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Let His Majesty know.

Let His Majesty know, now.

I sincerely apologize.

His Majesty has ordered us not to let anyone in.

What mother does nothing when her son is ill?

Your Majesty, I will look after you.

I apologize.

I was worried that you might catch a cold from me,

so I...

Yes, I understand.

You seem very ill.

I will just leave, then.

- Sir. - Let His Majesty know.

His Majesty is already in his bedchamber.

Wait, no...

Where did His Majesty go?

That's...

- While I was dozing off... - Eunuch Jang.

- Have you lost your mind? - What should I do, sir?

This isn't good. I should go...

- and let the Queen Dowager know... - If you go there now,

all of us will be dead meat.

- We'll all die at this rate anyway. - Right.

We must find a way to survive.

Do not let anyone in and stay here.

I will be sure to bring His Majesty back.

Where are you, Your Majesty?

He is still young. Why is he such a weakling?

Tell the Royal Infirmary to prepare cold medicine...

No, tell them to prepare the medicinal tea for cold as well.

For His Majesty, right?

No, not for him. It's for me.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will inform the Royal Infirmary.

I'm getting the chills. I must've caught a cold from him.

My gosh.

Your Majesty.

Take it slowly, please.

You must look after your health as you get older.

(Flower Crew)

Sir.

Sir. It's me, Kim Soo.

Sir, please let me in.

Sir...

Where are you, Gae Ttong?

People say a great fortune lasts for three generations.

So will Flower Crew's good looks.

You're being silly. By the way, is that boy a new member?

Is that a boy or a girl?

Do all three of you have to be at the interview?

What's the big deal?

It's just matchmaking, after all.

- "Just matchmaking"? - "Just matchmaking"?

What I mean is, I can't wait to see how you prepare for...

this important event in people's lives.

You only get married once in life. It, of course, requires many steps.

I bet 5 yang that you'll be fired within 15 days.

Listen up.

First, the bride and groom hire matchmakers...

to discuss the wedding procedures.

Second, the groom's father sends his son's time and date of birth...

to the bride's house.

Third, the groom sends a gift box to the bride.

Fourth, the wedding ceremony is held.

These four steps need to be taken without any mistake...

for a marriage to take place.

Learn these steps by heart, apprentice.

There will be a test later.

The lives of aristocrats are so complicated.

There will be a test.

Go buy some cold sikhye for your superiors.

Gosh, what should I do with that tiny...

He's so annoying.

Once my brother comes back, he'll teach that boy a lesson.

Hoon came out of His Majesty's private home?

Yes. Even though it wasn't confirmed,

I definitely saw the shadow of another person too.

Did you get caught?

Luckily, he didn't seem to recognize me.

Should I go back there and check?

That's not a good idea.

Now that he's become suspicious,

he'll start digging for the truth.

We'd better lie low until it's safe again.

What is it that he's planning to do?

Here comes the groom!

Welcome the groom!

It's Lord Choi's first son's wedding!

Here comes the groom, Lord Choi's first son!

It's Lord Choi's first son's wedding!

Here comes the groom, Lord Choi's first son!

Gae Ttong.

Do you know why you need two people to get married?

To share their burdens with one another.

It's too difficult to carry all the burdens on your shoulders alone.

Let's live together.

It's Lord Choi's first son's wedding!

Here comes the groom, Lord Choi's first son!

Soo.

I'll find both my brother and you.

I'll find you both and put things back the way they used to be.

So come back soon.

Kim Soo, you jerk!

Gae Ttong.

Gae Ttong!

Gae Ttong!

Gae Ttong!

- Your Majesty. - I saw Gae Ttong.

I swear it was her.

You must go back to the palace.

Let go, Father!

Do you intend on...

killing us all?

Are you not feeling well?

His Majesty is suffering from a cold,

so I visited his palace.

I'm afraid I caught a cold from him.

What if he brought a nasty disease from his private home?

How is His Majesty doing?

Who knows?

He didn't let me see him, saying he didn't want to spread his cold.

Are you saying you didn't see His Majesty's face?

Why is mine so small?

His name is Lee Hyung Gyu.

He got into Sungkyunkwan, where only the rich can go,

and he was the council leader there.

In addition, he won first place in the last civil service exam.

He is not only good-looking but also smart.

Just like me, I guess.

Have you ever even taken the civil service examination?

Or do you hide it from us because you fail every time?

What would I go through all that trouble for?

Anyway,

after his father, who was the Second Deputy Director, passed away,

his mother became the head of the household.

In the end, her son won first place in the civil service examination.

What an incredible lady.

That's all.

You guys take it from here.

I'm going to go enjoy the flowers with Seom Seom.

Wait.

I thought he was a good-for-nothing who hangs around courtesan houses.

- I didn't know he had such talent. - A good-for-nothing?

How dare you call him that?

Hey, Three-Month Temp.

I'll make sure you're fired within 15 days.

I'll go get the painter then.

Why would he get so upset?

Buying and selling all rumors in Hanyang.

That's what Joon does.

I'm relieved that he's useful in some way.

About those marriage steps you explained earlier...

How far have we come now?

We haven't even started yet.

What?

Thank you for coming all the way here.

No problem. Congratulations on winning first place in the exam.

I was lucky, that's all.

I got a message from the painter that he can't make it.

What should we do?

I'll do it.

Do you think painting a portrait is so easy?

Make him paint it tomorrow.

I really think I can do it.

Please help yourselves.

This is the tastiest dried persimmon I've ever tried.

There's more. Please eat as much as you want.

You insisted on meeting us in person,

which made me trust you even more.

What are the things you're looking for?

Well...

A girl from a prestigious family would make us uncomfortable.

I just want a kind-hearted girl.

What do you think?

I'm fine with any girl as long as you like her.

You two are so generous.

Can you smell it?

It's money.

Take this job by all means. It's a piece of cake.

People often lie.

But their eyes always give them away.

Her eyes are shaking because she's lying.

By any chance, do you already have a girl in mind?

Of course not.

Hyung Gyu is a naive young man who has never even seen...

a woman's face properly.

Is that so?

Biting down on her lips means she's hesitant about something.

Touching his sleeves means he's feeling anxious.

Did you get those clothes tailored?

As you can see, we're not in a situation to afford that.

Although they lack in quality, my son and my clothes...

have all been made by my own hands.

Is that so?

How do you do your housework?

I haven't seen a servant around.

I do all the housework myself as well.

Why do you ask?

I'm purely asking as a formality, so don't mind.

Then we'll look for a proper match and be in touch.

I'll look forward to it.

Miss, I look forward to seeing you again too.

He will find the perfect match for your son.

We should call Do Joon.

What is it this time? I thought things were going well.

I'm afraid we've been fooled.

Your Majesty,

Her Highness is here to see you.

Buddha, Goblin, or Deity,

whomever it is, please help me.

Open it.

Your Highness.

Commander of the Royal Guard.

Congratulations on your reinstatement.

I still have many things to learn.

By the way, what brings you here?

I heard His Majesty caught a cold.

Are you here because of that too?

Let's go inside.

Open the door.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

What brings you here, Mayor?

I heard you caught a cold.

You should leave now since you've seen his face.

His Majesty needs to rest.

Your Majesty.

If you keep going out like that,

you may get into big trouble.

Do you understand?

Thank you for your concern.

Your Majesty.

Do you intend on killing us all?

Stop crying.

It's my fault.

Why in the world are you hesitating?

Don't you know what it means to arrange a wedding...

for the first-place winner of the exam?

Arranging a wedding for a top groom like that...

means more clients will come pouring in like before.

I mean, horses of people.

It's "hordes of people."

I know that too. I know.

- I just feel like I'm in chaos. - Do you mean "confused?"

Lee Hyung Gyu chose us intentionally.

Because we're so famous?

We are famous. For almost going out of business.

We can't demand a high price considering our current situation,

and he knows we'll find the perfect match...

in order to restore our reputation.

So he chose us on purpose.

What's the problem then?

We can just find him that perfect match.

Lee Hyung Gyu already has a woman.

Come on. How could you be so sure about that?

The mother and son had different sewing techniques.

They had different ways of arranging things.

And he had a mark on his ring finger.

We must find that woman first.

This is a serious situation.

How could something like this happen?

The Inspector General, Department of Justice, the Ministry of Rites...

They are all being filled with men appointed by the Mayor of Hanseong.

At this rate, the land of Joseon...

may actually fall into his hands.

As for now, don't you think it's important to find out...

who killed the Crown Prince?

He is correct.

Something must be done before the mayor's power grows stronger.

If you try to do things recklessly, you'll always get in trouble.

Be patient, and take your time.

Second State Councillor,

do you have some sort of solution then?

First of all, we must make the young scholars of Sungkyunkwan...

and the new government recruits to side with us.

My goodness.

They're just boys who haven't even taken the civil service exam.

- What power do they have? - Do not...

underestimate the shallow waters.

Those young scholars of Sungkyunkwan...

will start making big ripples soon.

How will we make them side with us then?

The most effective way to harmonize in politics...

is through a wedding, don't you think?

No matter how much people prioritize rules and justification,

nothing compares to family.

If it were me, I would look for the council leader of Sungkyunkwan,

who came in first place in the recent temporary exam.

You should also look for...

young female relatives who have the potential...

to be wedded to the new government recruits.

Have patience and wait.

Then that girl...

will help bring us to the top.

Over there.

I'm sure he will try to meet her at least once.

You must tail him carefully.

Hey, wake up.

He came out.

- Wake up already! - Where?

- Master. - It's been a long time.

Let's go inside.

- Master. - Yes.

Yes, let us go inside.

Wait right there.

This isn't a place for young people like you.

What do you think you're doing?

Come on, don't make me use force on you.

Get out of here!

Those punks.

My goodness, I was denied entry!

Me, Ko Young Soo!

How dare they send me away?

A courtesan house, did you say?

Is she a courtesan then?

No, she's not.

I looked into it, and it turns out he's quite famous among my friends.

Once every six days,

and for exactly 30 minutes,

(30 minutes)

he has a drink alone and leaves.

Maybe he just went because of the pressure of the exam.

Are you sure there's a woman?

I told you, you're wrong.

Let's just take this case, okay?

No. Keep following him tomorrow.

Hoon, come on!

That guard at the entrance scares me.

This is an arrowhead that's distributed in the market.

I heard practically every place in Joseon uses this arrowhead.

We know where to start looking, so that's good enough.

How will you track them down?

Since arrowheads are highly prone to theft,

they usually mark them with numbers on spots that only they know of.

Here it is.

I heard some strange rumors though.

Apparently, the Second State Councillor...

is secretly looking for this.

The Second State Councillor is after this too?

Goodness, couldn't you say something or knock before opening the door?

I didn't know you were in there.

What's up?

This arrowhead... Where did you get this?

Couldn't you sell it?

I knew it. It looked defective.

If you want to know, you'll have to pay me.

I'm not telling you anything for free.

I found it in the forest in Yongsagol.

I heard bandits used it to catch wild boars.

This arrowhead was made to harm people.

Did someone get hurt? Who?

Anyhow, do something for me in return for answering your question.

I love high-risk, high-paying jobs,

but getting paid without doing work always leads to problems.

So please teach me how to become a good matchmaker.

I need to know how to do the job in order to keep the job.

You need to read "Master Zhu's Family Rituals".

"Book of Fortune".

"Physiognomy".

"The Great Ming Code".

"The Great Code of Administration".

And this book contains...

information on all the single men and women in Joseon.

Theory-wise, that should be enough.

I never said I wanted to study.

You said you wanted to learn how to do the job as a matchmaker.

Then you must memorize those first.

I've always been curious about something.

Why must you do all this?

With Lady Oh...

and with the scholar, Lee Hyung Gyu.

And with me as well.

Why persist while risking being criticized, threatened,

and sabotaged?

It could be nothing, you know.

Hey, apprentice.

In this country,

once you get married to someone,

the marriage cannot be annulled in most cases.

Although most people get married without even knowing...

what their spouses look like.

Hence, we must observe, listen, and inspect...

as thoroughly as possible on their behalf...

in order to find good matches.

However, we couldn't do that with your wedding.

Sir.

Thus, you are my flaw.

You're wreaking havoc on my matchmaking career,

which was once flawless.

Right. I am wreaking havoc on your flawless life.

I truly apologize.

So I'd like you to move out of my room as soon as possible.

Got it?

I can fire you anytime as you're just an apprentice.

I will move out. I told you that my brother will come back soon.

I looked into it and found out that a man named Kim Soo...

left the palace around 4am.

Kim Soo?

Isn't that the name the King used prior to coming to the palace?

Did he sneak out to find the girl whom he almost married?

They say blood is thicker than water.

What if she conceives his child?

All our plans will go down the drain.

That is why...

we must take precautionary measures.

Where is the court lady whom we sent to the bedchamber the other day?

I turned her into a slave for I was utterly baffled by what happened.

Please summon the royal physician.

Your Majesty, the Queen Dowager would like an audience with you.

She may enter.

Mother, what brings you here?

I heard that she dared to wound Your Majesty.

A wound?

- What do you mean? - Take a look.

This is...

- Just once... - Why are you being like this?

It is nothing serious.

How did this happen?

Eunuch Jang.

It must be from the night...

when Court Lady Lee came into the bedchamber four days ago.

Why did you not report it to me?

I sincerely apologize.

Mayor, why are you being so harsh to Eunuch Jang?

I should have been more careful, so please stop.

We ought to punish her for trying to harm Your Majesty.

It is only right that we follow the law and punish her accordingly.

- But... - Your Majesty.

We should follow his advice.

Court Lady Choi, catch her and bring her in at once.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Mother, we must not do that.

What are you doing?

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I'm heading out to meet someone.

This is our arrowhead.

This can't be a knockoff though.

Then do you have any idea who might have stolen this arrowhead?

Yes, there is someone I'm suspicious of.

I was right.

This is the arrowhead we lost about two weeks ago.

I bet it was done by the rogue,

whom we haven't seen in the past few days.

- "The rogue"? - He used to work for me,

but he stole some things a few times...

and sold them secretly.

That's probably when the arrowhead was sold off as well.

I yelled at him a little because of it,

and he ran away with our money.

Where does he live?

It'd be wise for you not to go to his place.

- Oh, no... - He's gone!

- My money! - My goodness.

- No! - I can't believe this.

- How could this happen? - What do we do now?

- My money... - No!

I worked so hard to earn that money!

- When did he run away? - My gosh...

- Goodness. - What should we do?

- My money. - I'm doomed.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I'm heading out to meet someone.

- Gosh. - Oh, dear.

What happened?

Did you also pay him and ask him to find someone for you?

Then you're doomed too!

Gosh, my sister...

What do we do now?

Then what about my brother?

My brother... How am I going to find him now?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Help me.

Please save her.

Your Majesty, harming the king's body...

is an unforgivable sin.

It was only a little mistake.

That's the weight the king carries, Your Majesty.

A word you say and a cough you give...

can kill or save the people in the palace.

Do you realize the weight...

of your throne now?

The groom's birthday...

The ceremony...

Yes?

It's a high-return task with little risk and down payment.

Are you interested?

You said I couldn't take any side jobs.

I'm making an exception because I have too much to do.

This is a down payment.

Why are you making a down payment this time?

So what's the task?

Get these books from the library.

All of these?

I can't even read these letters.

Come back before you find all those books,

and I'll take the money back.

Why do you need all these at this hour?

Are these even letters?

- My money! - Did you also pay him...

and ask him to find someone for you?

Then you're doomed too!

My brother... How am I going to find him now?

Let's live together.

You can let me carry your burden on my shoulders.

Let's do that...

and live together.

Why does everyone...

leave me behind?

I haven't...

I haven't taken a single day off. I've been working so hard.

Give me back my money!

You're selling a dress from your own wedding that was called off?

- Gosh. - This totally ruined my day.

Why...

Why does everyone do this to me?

What did I do? What did I do so wrong?

Why does everyone do this to me?

How am I...

supposed to live now?

Just because she's called Stone Head...

doesn't mean her heart is made of stone.

Cry as much as you want.

Why is there so little food today?

I wonder that too.

I found it. I know how to find that lady.

Can I borrow some clothes?

- Is he here? - Let's hurry.

- You look beautiful today. - How are you?

- Let's go! - Wait for me!

My dear. Aren't you going to get up?

If I get up, will you play with me?

Just so you know, I say no to anything not dirty.

Come on. The sun is still up.

Right?

A man shouldn't undress a woman while the sun is still up.

I respect your noble choice.

Then please respect my choice as well.

Our new member looks absolutely gorgeous in that robe.

Where is Scholar Lee?

Over there.

Are we just going to sit here like this?

With no beautiful women or music, this is no fun.

I'm leaving.

- Seom Seom. - Joon.

If you're going somewhere fun, take me with you.

Joon.

I thought maybe we'd find a clue if we drank at the same place.

I guess you can be of use sometimes.

- Pardon? - He's not here for the courtesans.

You've been hiding a lady all along.

What are you talking about?

I just came here for some fresh air and drinks.

Please keep it a secret from my mother.

Why have you been hiding this?

What can I do?

My mother, who raised me,

will never let me marry that lady.

So please forget the whole thing...

and find a lady my mother would like.

No problem.

Well...

Wait!

Wait for me!

Boss!

Boss!

Are we really leaving like this?

He said it's fine.

Do you really think this is fine?

You told me to be our clients' eyes and ears.

I am being our client's eyes and ears...

and looking for a nice lady.

What do we do with that lady then?

It's none of our business.

Then why did you look for her in the first place?

I just wanted to see...

if it'd cause us any trouble.

Didn't I already tell you this?

In Joseon, no marriage can be undone.

Is this what you meant by that?

I thought...

a matchmaker's job was to find couples destined for each other...

no matter how hard, bothersome, or unprofitable it was.

I thought that was what you meant.

Those two love each other.

People's hearts change in an instant.

How could I believe in petty love that I cannot even see...

and proceed with a marriage?

You don't believe in things that you can see.

You only see things you want to believe.

I just thought you were a bit cranky,

but it turns out you really have no heart.

You're just an apprentice who can be fired at any time.

Know your place and stop trying to intervene.

Since I'm an apprentice who can be fired at any time,

let me just say this before you fire me.

One day, you'll be taught...

a serious lesson because of that mindset.

Don't regret it later.

I can't stand this, and I quit.

What use is it if he's the best in Hanyang?

He's a lowly scumbag.

I hope Flower Crew is ruined!

Smiling Gae Ttong,

crying Gae Ttong.

Gae Ttong.

Mom!

Kang!

Kang, don't go.

- Don't go. - I will never...

go anywhere without you.

I promise I'll find you.

Gae Ttong!

- No! - Gae Ttong, I'm here.

- Mom! - Gae Ttong, I came for you.

- Seriously. - Get off her.

I came to see you!

You fool!

I told you to clean the toilet, yet you're doing this again?

- Stop it! - No! Gae Ttong is waiting for me.

You fool! You and that darn Gae Ttong.

Your sister is dead!

Goodness, you idiot!

- I told you... - What's all the fuss about?

My lady, it's just...

He's a bit slow-witted,

and he calls every young girl he sees Gae Ttong.

It's his dead sister.

I will scold this fool for good, so...

Get rid of him!

What good is a servant who can't even properly work?

Go and sell him immediately!

What? Master, but still...

No.

I didn't put you in charge of the household...

to be bothered by a lowly servant.

You must learn how to get rid of useless things as well.

Servants tend to act foolishly...

and frustratingly often.

Consoling them and disciplining them well...

is the job of us masters, don't you think?

Since you gave them to me,

now, I am their master.

So please let me take care of this.

I believe you're ready to take on more important deeds now.

If only she had been born a son, she would've done greater things.

My lady.

How could you be so sloppy and humiliate me like this?

Lock him up for three days and don't give him any food.

He'll become obedient once he's hungry.

My lady, but...

- That's too... - Gae...

- Gae Ttong! - Seriously.

- Gae Ttong! - Shut your mouth!

Gae Ttong! How many times is this?

I'm sorry, my lady.

Get on your knees and raise your arms!

Where are you, Kang?

You're alive, right?

Your Majesty, the Commander of the Royal Guard is here.

Let him in.

How did it go?

She will be kicked out of the palace tomorrow.

Luckily, her life has been spared.

Commander.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What do I have to do...

in order to stop my people from being hurt?

You must do nothing.

Since His Majesty isn't familiar with the official affairs,

I will appoint the new officials on his behalf.

First of all, considering all of his contributions,

I shall appoint Mayor Ma Bong Deok...

as Chief State Councillor.

How could the Mayor of Hanseong...

suddenly be promoted to Chief State Councillor?

Can you believe this?

I'd rather see His Majesty abdicate the throne to you.

(Abdicate: To give up the throne)

This is the Hall of Convenience.

Watch your mouth.

Do as she says.

I think it was the Three-Month Temp.

Here. Hoon, did you see the Three-Month Temp?

I'm sure it was her.

What about her?

I think I saw a bunch of men dragging her to the tavern.

Hoon.

- He did not abandon me! - You were in on this scheme too.

I want my money back. Give me back my money!

My apologies.

I think I saw a bunch of men dragging her to the tavern.

What? Who are you?

What do you want? Who is this punk?

Sir.

- Let's go. - What?

Goodness, we were so excited to see her. What is this about?

This is simply rude.

Hey, identify yourself first!

I'm her husband.

(Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency)

We will proceed with Scholar Lee's wedding as planned.

Will you tear them apart?

Then why don't you persuade them yourself?

How about you leave if you can't make it happen in three days?

Who knows how long that feeling will last?

What if the Second State Councillor's daughter becomes queen?

You can't afford to lounge around.

There is someone I must meet.

How about we become in-laws?

Who is it for? You're looking at it so lovingly.

Catch him no matter what. Bring him here at all costs!

What would you have done if something had happened?

Are you worrying about me?
