I'll make you own so many things.

You must own many things for me to own many things.

Do you know why?

Because you...

Will be mine.

Episode 4

I'm very concerned about the King's health, Queen Dowager.

His health is the health of the kingdom.

This tea tastes great.

Because of you, my standards on tea are going up every day.

I'll keep bringing good tea to you if you want.

You're the only one I trust.

Your grace is eternal, Queen Dowager.

How old is your daughter again?

Why are you asking about her?

I'm just an old woman who is counting her days until death.

So I get very concerned about young people who haven't found their right match yet.

My daughter has already missed her window for marriage.

I'll find another nice girl for you, as my daughter isn't good enough.

That's why they're a match made in heaven.

You know how Prince Wolgang is...

Your daughter would be too good for him actually.

You can't!

Can't you see those? You'll get hurt if you try to enter this place.

This place is well-guarded by its spiritual defense perimeter!

Is that so? What should I do, then?

Who are you?

'Who are you?'

Who the hell are you? This is our territory.

Don't you know that you can't cross into other ghosts' territories like this?

I know that. But I was so curious.

Curious? About what?

Do you know the man who lives here?

You mean, Lee Rin?

- I don't know the name. - Then what about him?

I think, that man...

That man what? You're frustrating me to death!

You're dead already! How can you die again?

I think that man saw me.

See? He can see us.

That can't be possible.

He wouldn't just ignore me after seeing me.

I think so too...

So we must confirm.

How?

I have an idea.

Today's a nice day. Where should I go to hang out?

Let's start.

Have you ever seen an angel?

Why would an angel be in the world of humans?

I know a lot about angels.

I heard there's this spring where angels come to wash themselves.

It's the Suseongdong Valley at Mount Inwang.

I believe they'll be there at noon today!

That was a good meal!

I think something good happened to Wolmae.

The food was so good today!

- You need to be more perceptive! - Why?

The blacksmith came back last night.

The blacksmith... I should've known...

Now I'm going to get a stomach ache.

I'm going to use the bathroom.

Are you leaving?

Yes, I must go find someone.

Hold on.

Is that so? Then you must go find that person.

I'm just telling you this because you might not know how things work in this city.

The capital is a very scary place. People will even try to steal your nose!

Pardon?

This is something that'll protect you.

Like this. You can protect your nose.

My nose isn't here!

What do you think? Don't you think this would come in handy?

Only five coins.

We cook rice up in Mount Baekdu too. I have the same thing.

Goodbye.

It must be true because the ghosts were talking about it!

An angel has come down indeed.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

My Prince!

My Prince!

My bracelet!

What is this saying?

The King has given his orders. We don't have time for this.

The one who is in defense must make his move first.

Where's the Taoist priest?

He dares to say that he can't follow your orders, my King.

What?

He has lost his mind.

Arrest him at once! I'll cut him into pieces!

It's the King's order. You should've gone to the palace.

The human nature dictates...

That when one easily gets what he wants, he is never grateful about it.

You must make them work for it.

That's the only way for them to realize how precious it is.

I'm a loyal servant of our King.

I'm doing this so that his pleasure of having me around will increase.

Mr. Priest!

He's here.

You bastard!

How dare you disobey the King's order?

A lowly Taoist priest like me would never do that.

Shut up!

Who do you think you're talking to?

I...

Only did this for you.

You're truly making a fool out of me!

I'm just a lowly Taoist priest.

It hasn't been very long since Sogyukseo was demolished because of the Confucian scholars.

Those traitors are waiting for their chance to strike you, my King!

So I...

I didn't want to put you at risk by being around you.

Is that really why? Because you were worried about me?

I'm your loyal servant, my King.

Then what about me? I need you.

You must abandon me.

You can't rely on my magic too much.

That's the only solution right now.

And if I'm not abandoning you?

My King...

What happens if I don't abandon you?

It'll be very rough for you...

I'm a king.

Do you think I'm so powerless that I can't even keep a Taoist priest around me?

Of course you can't!

You're a king in name only.

A list of candidates fit to be the minister of protocol, my King.

Please take a look and endorse.

What are you doing? You need to endorse it as they want.

My King...

Listen carefully...

I... I will...

I'll rebuild Sogyukseo and allow the practice of Taoism

to pray for a prosperous monarchy.

So I hope everyone here will be on board with my plan.

That shouldn't be done, my King! Please retract your orders!

Sogyukseo? Nonsense! (Sogyukseo: A government agency that administered Taoist rites)

It hasn't been a while since people even lost their lives to destroy Sogyukseo.

I think the King is trying to expand his power with this as his excuse.

We can't give in!

What should we do, Mr. Prime Minister?

Say something!

I knew this would be happening.

Don't you know that we don't have time for this right now?

What are you talking about?

I guess you really don't know.

Just tell me.

Have you ever heard of the place called Maeranbang?

Maeranbang?

People say that place is full of treasures from around the world.

They're also displaying a phoenix from China today.

And all you're doing right now is slaying those straws.

That's why I always say you have a bad taste in things.

A person with bad taste like me won't know the difference anyway.

I'm not going.

Have you ever heard of the Longsword then?

I believe it's the sword used by the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

I heard you can fight off an army of 30,000 with that sword alone!

It's also at Maeranbang right now. Aren't you curious to see it?

I'll get ready right now. Just wait here for a bit.

Why are they always hanging out there?

I'm about to miss a great show! Damn!

Of course.

The best player of the kingdom can't just stay in his house all day!

I might become a ghost while doing all this to avoid them!

Stop!

He's right there!

My Prince!

Damn it...

Where are you going, my Prince?

What just happened to us?

I think it might be because of the pepper seeds!

- Damn those pepper seeds... - What can we do?

Let's just run.

We can't fly anymore?

- I don't know! - What can we do?

Is this it?

This way, please.

Let go of me.

Shut up and come with me.

Otherwise, I'll report you to the police!

You're illiterate, aren't you? This is for men!

It's not meant to be used by a bitch like you!

Look, all I'm here to do is to find a person.

Do you think this is my first time dealing with someone like you?

Stop being a nuisance. Just give this up and go.

All I need is a minute. I just need to find the owner of this...

Looking at those nice things will only make your poor life more miserable.

Those are the things that you'll never have no matter how hard you work!

You're better off not looking at them to begin with.

So just go. Go!

Find, I have bad taste in things.

So I have no idea how precious those things inside are.

All I need to do is find the bracelet that was given by my sister.

I'm here to look for that bracelet, so excuse me...

This bitch...

You should stop.

My Lord.

Do they not get tired?

Where is he? Where did he go?

- Did you really see him coming this way? - Yes!

You brat! You're driving me crazy!

My Prince!

We might get caught. So be quiet.

Were you also kicked out by that big guy?

Hey, can't you hear me?

It's so nice and quiet in here! Just how I like it!

You're looking down on me too, aren't you?

You think I have bad taste in things too! You little punk...

A punk?

Yes, yes... She's a ghost too...

A ghost?

Hey, I'm not a ghost. I'm human!

Touch me!

What's going on?

Touch me!

What a coward. The capital is full of them!

Hey! You have to open the door!

Sold!

The northern wind blows through tree branches...

As a bright moon shines in white snow.

As I lean on my longsword on the border far away from capital...

A long whisper, a loud scream...

I shall not be scared of anything.

Who is that?

I believe he's related to Park Soo Jong, the Prime Minister.

Your family can get you a cushy post within the capital.

Why are you volunteering for a post far away?

My brother thinks that a soldier in the capital isn't a real soldier.

A real soldier should protect this kingdom's borders, like General Kim Jong Seo did.

He's finally here.

He wouldn't be Prince Wolgang if he doesn't show up here!

I'll take my leave.

She shouldn't do that...

When a woman makes the first move, it'll make the man more hesitant.

Did you see?

He looks a lot like the former king.

I wonder who'll go to heaven first...

It'll be very interesting to see.

Mr. Prime Minister!

The best way to survive for members of the royal family who never made it to be king...

is keeping a low profile away from the public.

That's been the case so far. But not anymore.

Prince Wolgang needs to be in the spotlight

in order to ensure his own safety from the King.

It's time for the real dragon to wake up.

Sogyukseo can't be brought back, my King!

Please remember that Sogyukseo is against

everything that this kingdom stands for!

Please say something, Mr. Prime Minister.

It wouldn't be like him if he doesn't oppose.

Let's hear what you have to say.

Sogyukseo should be rebuilt as you wish, my King.

Mr. Prime Minister!

You should rebuild Sogyukseo as you wish.

But...

For the person in charge of Sogyukseo...

You should name Prince Wolgang.

Look.

A phoenix that only exists in legends?

I'm dying of anticipation!

Indeed.

A girl...

Why is there a girl in there?

There's been a mistake. I apologize.

Hey, isn't this marvelous? This is more than just a phoenix!

It's half-animal, half-human!

That's true!

Half of it is a girl, the other half is a phoenix!

We're looking at a magical beast!

Excuse me, would you please open this door?

Hey, look! The beast can talk too!

Open this door!

This is the Prince!

He looks ominous.

He's the reason why bad things are happening to this kingdom!

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen!

Just hold on. I'll let you out soon.

My back...

You wretched punk.

I'm afraid you don't know...

I'm not someone you can just hurl down to the ground.

Then do you have specific people you can hurl down to the ground in the world?

I see. Is that how your lot lives?

You can just beat and hurl anyone who's beneath you?

That bitch! Does she know whom she is speaking to?

She's a lowly pariah. She doesn't know any better.

Arrest her and show her justice!

'Without compassion, it's not human.'

You're not human if you don't have any compassion towards those who don't have much.

How would you be any different from a beast

if you can't understand others and have tolerance?

We need to think whether the beast is not inside of this cage

but outside among us.

It's a talent in itself to only talk about boring stuff.

You're not popular among women because all you do is recite boring things from books!

You may think as much as you want.

Put yourself in their shoes!

Maybe you can go think inside the cage.

Goodbye.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Where's my bracelet?

What bracelet?

The one that you picked up on the street!

Give my bracelet back!

A bracelet?

Ah, the bracelet.

When did I pick up a bracelet?

Are you playing with me?

It's a very important thing to me. So give it back!

There's no evidence that you're the true owner of the bracelet.

I can't just give it away like that.

Prove that it's yours. Then I'll give it back to you.

Out of my way.

That ridiculous punk...

Let go of me if you don't want to get hurt!

What an annoying girl!

My Prince!

Why are you so loud?

Don't you know that I like peace and quiet?

Well... Something big just happened.

The King is making you the head of Sogyukseo!

You have terrible taste, Mr. Prime Minister.

Why did you recommend a punk like me to the King?

I don't know why you still cling onto someone who just isn't capable.

Why do you say such atrocious things, my Prince?

You're the rightful heir of our former king, no matter what people say.

Stop talking about that!

You still can't see?

I'm not someone you want.

I can't guarantee your safety if you continue to waste your time like this.

You should speak the truth.

You're not concerned about my safety.

You just need another shield for your own safety.

Aren't you trying to use me as your shield to fight against the King?

Anyway, please just leave me alone.

Do you know why I'm supporting the rebuilding of Sogyukseo...

even though I'm the one who advocated for its disappearance?

I'm so desparate, to the level that I'm even willing to try their dark beliefs.

If their dark beliefs are necessary

to maintain the peace and safety of this kingdom...

I'll gladly comply.

Please understand where my loyalty lies.

I'm going to beg to the King to retract his order.

My King!

Kim Sa Soon was in my dream last night.

He approached me with his head in his hand.

He said he'll do the same to me.

No, he said he'll do something more atrocious.

Why am I not getting any better?

Why am I having nightmares again? Why?

The treatments so far have been temporary fixes, my King.

I can get to the bottom of your illness once Sogyukseo is rebuilt, so please wait.

Wait?

Do you think I've waited this long to hear that again?

My King, it's very saddening, but there isn't anything I can do anymore.

So please kill me.

Will...

Will Sogyukseo really solve the problem?

It'll be full of shamans with only the cleanest spirits.

They'll be shamans with energy of water which will quell your energy of fire.

Those three shamans will cure your illness.

How can lowly shamans cure me?

I'll transfer the bad energy that's around you into them.

Where is he?

- Hey! - Who are you?

- Let me see... - Who are you?

Where is he?

Damn it! Where is this thief?

Just you wait until I get you!

Hiring notice for Sogyukseo?

The capital is going to be full of weird shamans!

But if every single shaman of this kingdom comes here...

No ghost will dare lurk around the capital!

Do you actually believe in ghosts?

Is it true that every shaman of the kingdom will come here for this?

Really? Really?

My sister...

You imbecile!

Grandmother...

The head of Sogyukseo...

What kind of weird things have you done to get recommended for such a dirty post?

Do you perhaps have your eyes on the throne?

That's not the case.

I've never had any desire for the throne.

Please trust me.

The King is already burdened with the concerns for his subjects.

He doesn't need any more reason to be concerned.

Do you understand?

Then...

What should I do?

My existence itself makes the King concerned.

What should I do then?

Live as if you're dead. Live as if you don't exist.

The entrance exam for Sogyukseo is helping my business!

Excuse me.

Me?

Where are you from?

Well... I'm from Mount Gyeryong.

Mount Gyeryong!

Do you know what kind of place the capital is?

The capital?

The capital is a very scary place. People will even try to steal your nose!

This is something that'll prevent that.

I'll give you a special price at five bronze coins.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You punk!

My god is furious with you!

You'll repent for your sins of trying to trick my god in hell!

Stop! Calm down!

I didn't do something that bad! I'm not that bad of a person!

Please, sit down.

I'll give you everything I have. So please don't be angry.

This won't happen again. I'm sorry.

So, today's the application deadline?

Yes, I need to submit my name, my birthday, and my hometown.

But I'm illiterate...

You don't need to know how to write. All you need is my beautiful writing!

Of course! You failed the civil servant exam so many times.

You should be capable of at least that much!

Why are you attacking my most vulnerable spot?

It doesn't seem like it hurts anymore!

You've been paying attention to me! Maybe she likes me!

Have you lost your mind finally?

I'm right. She likes me!

Next.

Born in the year of Shinhae...

And you're from the Mago Tribe of Mount Baekdu?

Yes, sir.

The exam will be in nine days. Don't forget.

Okay.

Next.

Sister, I'll come to you if you don't come to me.

I'll come find you...

So don't run away, okay?

Sister...

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

My King.

That's enough. You're my brother.

So...

Do you still see ghosts these days?

I'm asking you if you still see ghosts these days.

Can you really see them? Can you?

I can see them. I'm not lying.

What's the matter?

My King, there's Handmaiden Kim.

Handmaiden Kim? She is...

The Handmaiden of the Queen?

She is giving you a deadly glare right now...

Shut up! She's dead!

But I can see her...

She says she has something to say.

She wants to talk about the day when mother died...

My King...

I can't help it!

Do you still see ghosts?

I can't see them.

I don't expect a lot from you.

It's fine if you're incompetent. It'd be better if you don't read books.

I'll even forgive you if you embezzle money. But...

You must always speak the truth.

You can never tell me a lie, no matter how small it is.

I shall never lie to you, my King.

I...

I'll only tell you the truth always.

I trust you.

So about being the head of Sogyukseo...

Please retract your order.

I can't be the head of Sogyukseo.

I'm not capable of carrying out the important duties for the kingdom.

So...

Please retract your order, my King.

You should try it.

This is your chance to prove yourself to those who've looked down on you for being nothing.

Start attacking.

Stop defending and start attacking!

Attack now!

It's a King's order!

Attack me.

If you let me beat you...

You'll have to give up your title as the best swordman of the kingdom!

Good to see you! Give me my bracelet!

You should know where you belong.

I'm always the same.

My feelings for you of the past decade won't change that easily.

I'll be protecting Prince Wolgang from now on.

Open your mouth.

How do you know, my Prince, whether she has the spiritual power or not?

He's the head of Sogyukseo, who'll be your judge today!

That can't be possible. Prince Wolgang said he can't see ghosts!

He definitely saw.
