1
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:10,592
What's that?
2
00:00:10,593 --> 00:00:12,177
You have sharp ears?
3
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:16,056
Good hearing has nothing to do with this
4
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:18,600
This is all about the tremors
5
00:00:18,601 --> 00:00:21,311
Your whole body
6
00:00:21,312 --> 00:00:25,734
Feels it on its own
7
00:00:26,651 --> 00:00:29,863
Why, isn't that the green young master
Chasing after his lady cousin?
8
00:00:31,156 --> 00:00:32,824
I misjudged you.
9
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:36,326
I had no idea you were so well-endowed.
10
00:00:36,327 --> 00:00:39,204
- Come now, you know nothing
- Enough of your chatter.
11
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:41,415
Let me teach you a thing or two
Hear me well
12
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:45,961
Long and large is not all there is to it
13
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:50,549
A pickaxe is too much for gathering clams
14
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:54,887
Throw a bucket into a spring
Blow upon it softly
15
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,431
Press your lips to it
Sip, sip, sip
16
00:00:57,432 --> 00:01:00,351
Now why tease us so, Director?
17
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:05,482
So it's a watermill, is it?
18
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:08,150
Splash, trickle-trickle
19
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:10,235
Creak-creak
20
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:15,532
Pounding away nicely, I see
21
00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:17,494
"A flower must be held gently."
22
00:01:17,994 --> 00:01:20,205
"Grip it too hard and it shall break."
23
00:01:20,830 --> 00:01:21,831
At this rate,
24
00:01:22,832 --> 00:01:25,209
how is the iron ever to grow hot?
25
00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:27,087
Trying to plow a parched field, are we?
26
00:01:29,172 --> 00:01:32,091
"Young master, care to see for yourself?"
27
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:33,009
All right!
28
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:37,096
In he goes
29
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:40,057
In he goes to see for himself
30
00:01:40,058 --> 00:01:44,520
The proud pestle springs upright
Rises and falls, creaking all the while
31
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:47,940
In he goes to see for himself
32
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:51,652
Splash, trickle-trickle, creak-creak
33
00:01:51,653 --> 00:01:55,239
Pounding away nicely, I see
34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,407
The green lad is nowhere to be found now
35
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:59,952
- No matter the hour
- Not here…
36
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,204
No matter the place
37
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:05,916
Even in the palanquin
38
00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:09,546
As it sways and bounces
39
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:13,675
In he goes to see for himself
40
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:17,595
"My lord, how many women have you held?"
41
00:02:19,055 --> 00:02:20,306
Who counts grapes…
42
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:24,309
as he eats them?
43
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:27,521
Now that's a fine answer
To a foolish question
44
00:02:27,522 --> 00:02:29,649
"I had heard the rumors,
45
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:33,027
but are you really such a lecherous man?"
46
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:34,696
And what do the rumors
47
00:02:36,364 --> 00:02:37,407
say of me?
48
00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:41,494
Come now, need you ask?
49
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:46,623
"They call you
the Gentleman of the Night."
50
00:02:46,624 --> 00:02:47,500
How fitting
51
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:50,377
"The Gentleman of the Night"?
52
00:02:50,378 --> 00:02:52,629
Indeed, he's a true gentleman
53
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:54,883
Strictly for adults
54
00:02:55,758 --> 00:02:57,218
A true gentleman…
55
00:02:59,929 --> 00:03:01,806
takes pleasure
56
00:03:02,932 --> 00:03:06,102
in enlightening worthy minds.
57
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:07,937
Tonight…
58
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:13,192
I shall teach you
and delight in a gentleman's pleasure.
59
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:14,027
There we go
60
00:03:18,948 --> 00:03:20,074
Here are…
61
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,912
the teachings of Xunzi.
62
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:33,463
Adrift and floating, softly afloat
63
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:39,009
It feels as though walking upon the clouds
64
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:42,721
Then crashing down to earth
65
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:46,309
Ah, was it but a dream?
66
00:03:46,809 --> 00:03:50,480
Ah
67
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:57,820
Have you awakened from the dream?
68
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:02,866
It vanishes like foam
69
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:07,079
Elusive as a shadow
70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,458
After all that chasing and circling
71
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:15,504
- You only find yourself
- Yun!
72
00:04:15,505 --> 00:04:20,008
- Where you began
- Yun!
73
00:04:20,009 --> 00:04:22,929
- Love
- Yun!
74
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:26,974
- Love
- Yun!
75
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:31,645
What is this thing called love
76
00:04:31,646 --> 00:04:36,108
That it lives in dreams
77
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:38,695
And it lives on
78
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,490
Upon waking
79
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:46,744
Why does it cling to you
80
00:04:47,745 --> 00:04:52,417
So cruelly to the bitter end?
81
00:04:52,917 --> 00:04:56,671
Love
82
00:04:57,171 --> 00:05:02,051
Love
83
00:05:05,179 --> 00:05:12,227
My love
84
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:18,234
THE SCANDAL
85
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:34,082
As the Left State Councilor
must have told you,
86
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:35,168
I shall be
87
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,879
staying in this household for a time.
88
00:05:38,921 --> 00:05:42,967
But whatever the reason,
perhaps this too is fate.
89
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:47,096
Tell him I have heard enough, Eun-sil.
90
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:50,600
- My lady says--
- I could not properly see you home,
91
00:05:51,976 --> 00:05:53,353
and it has weighed on me.
92
00:06:00,443 --> 00:06:03,863
I merely wished to know
whether you returned safely.
93
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,949
If you would turn your face from me so,
what am I to do?
94
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:11,287
Have I perhaps caused
some misunderstanding?
95
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:16,167
Tell him there is no misunderstanding.
96
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:20,046
My lady says there is no misunderstanding…
97
00:06:24,592 --> 00:06:26,259
The day I first met you,
98
00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:28,596
I found this where you had been standing.
99
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,730
I shall accept your thanks
in the form of a letter,
100
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:42,609
for there are
too many eyes and ears about.
101
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,946
My husband
could not stop praising your cousin,
102
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:47,447
and he is not a man of many words.
103
00:06:47,448 --> 00:06:49,117
My lady!
104
00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:50,910
Her Ladyship approaches!
105
00:06:52,703 --> 00:06:54,163
For heaven's sake!
106
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:56,582
Please do not do this, my lord.
107
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:58,209
Give it to me, I beg you.
108
00:06:58,793 --> 00:06:59,836
My lady!
109
00:07:00,336 --> 00:07:01,920
They have been discussing literature…
110
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:02,922
All right.
111
00:07:06,008 --> 00:07:07,884
Your Ladyship.
112
00:07:07,885 --> 00:07:10,471
Lady So, good to see you.
113
00:07:13,057 --> 00:07:17,395
I spotted you from afar
and was so delighted I nearly ran over.
114
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:20,440
Shall we?
115
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:25,110
I am most excited
about today's poetry gathering.
116
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,487
If that proves too difficult,
117
00:07:27,488 --> 00:07:29,115
then I shall write to you first.
118
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:43,463
Surely you will answer me?
119
00:07:47,008 --> 00:07:48,508
Fine, I will.
120
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:49,969
Now, please.
121
00:07:58,769 --> 00:07:59,854
Oh, here.
122
00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:08,196
Are you all right?
123
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:11,406
I saw you here
on my way to the rear garden
124
00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:13,576
with the Lady of the First Rank.
125
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:16,704
Do not worry.
126
00:08:17,622 --> 00:08:19,749
She did not see anything.
127
00:08:25,963 --> 00:08:28,257
You can tell me anything and everything.
128
00:08:28,883 --> 00:08:31,469
Forgive me. The truth is…
129
00:08:45,566 --> 00:08:47,109
Regarding what happened the other day,
130
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:50,655
I ought to have come to you sooner
and offered my thanks.
131
00:08:52,448 --> 00:08:53,574
Yet I was delayed.
132
00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:28,359
One can feel a mother's heart in it.
133
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:33,573
Now, allow me to recite a poem I wrote.
134
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:38,535
Though the full moon has waned
135
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:40,787
My beloved is still yet to return
136
00:09:40,788 --> 00:09:43,206
The endless clatter of the loom
137
00:09:43,207 --> 00:09:45,459
Fills this lonely heart
138
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:04,604
Were you
139
00:10:05,688 --> 00:10:07,231
intending to help me again this time?
140
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,025
Because you were lonely?
141
00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:11,568
How fares it?
142
00:10:11,569 --> 00:10:13,195
It is going so easily
143
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:16,240
I almost feel bad for you.
144
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:18,784
You sound fairly confident.
145
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:21,996
Then when you feel
the task is almost complete,
146
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:24,581
would you come see me for a moment?
147
00:10:24,582 --> 00:10:25,416
Why?
148
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,501
Do you mean to rehearse
149
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:30,046
before giving me the reward?
150
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,214
Late into the night
151
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:34,716
would be even better.
152
00:10:34,717 --> 00:10:36,510
I look forward to it greatly.
153
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:46,937
Here.
154
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:16,926
Here they are.
155
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,517
You have copied the introduction
156
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:27,395
most diligently.
157
00:11:30,272 --> 00:11:33,817
"A girl, upon reaching the age of 10,
must refrain from venturing out."
158
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:36,361
"At 15, she must put her hair up."
159
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:38,948
"And before 20, she must marry…"
160
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:40,658
Yes.
161
00:11:41,409 --> 00:11:42,868
She ought to come into bloom.
162
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:45,413
Yes, indeed.
163
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:47,997
Come now, take it.
164
00:11:47,998 --> 00:11:49,500
Take it. It's all right.
165
00:11:50,042 --> 00:11:51,042
You!
166
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,379
The lady herself promised me a reply.
167
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:55,381
Why are you meddling in this?
168
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:58,884
It's all right. Just take it.
169
00:12:03,431 --> 00:12:04,265
Damn it.
170
00:12:28,998 --> 00:12:32,167
A husband may take a second wife,
171
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:35,003
yet nowhere is it written
that a wife can marry twice.
172
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:38,215
Should a woman's conduct
defy the will of heaven and earth,
173
00:12:39,216 --> 00:12:40,760
she shall be punished by the heavens.
174
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:44,889
I received your reply.
175
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:46,766
Thanks to you,
176
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:50,394
I learned what it is women study
and commit to memory.
177
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:52,730
It was most enlightening.
178
00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:57,901
Should a woman's conduct
defy the will of heaven and earth,
179
00:12:57,902 --> 00:12:59,570
she shall be punished by the heavens.
180
00:13:00,529 --> 00:13:02,573
Should she stray from
propriety and loyalty…
181
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:06,952
In the rear garden,
I saw a pair of cuckoos.
182
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:10,998
The male and female sat side by side,
singing so affectionately together.
183
00:13:12,249 --> 00:13:15,878
As I stood there listening, spellbound,
to the love song of such humble creatures,
184
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,255
I found myself envious.
185
00:13:22,343 --> 00:13:25,596
Should a woman's conduct
defy the will of heaven and earth,
186
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:28,015
she shall be punished by the heavens.
187
00:13:29,225 --> 00:13:31,352
Should she stray from
propriety and loyalty,
188
00:13:32,269 --> 00:13:34,647
her husband shall cast her aside.
189
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:14,687
Eun-sil.
190
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:21,693
Eun-sil, you are snoring rather loudly.
191
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:22,736
Is that beef?
192
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:51,765
Yesterday, I took a stroll with In-ho,
and we spoke at length.
193
00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:54,809
I did not pry too deeply
194
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:57,354
for fear of wounding
the young master's heart,
195
00:14:57,938 --> 00:15:01,232
yet it seemed he keenly feels
the absence left by his late brother.
196
00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:02,067
My lord.
197
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:06,155
Though I know it presumptuous of me,
198
00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:11,118
I found myself wishing I might fill
that empty place, however inadequately.
199
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:17,123
Should a woman's conduct
defy the will of heaven and earth,
200
00:15:17,124 --> 00:15:18,626
she shall be punished by the heavens.
201
00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:21,211
Should she stray from
propriety and loyalty,
202
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:24,131
her husband shall cast her aside.
203
00:15:34,516 --> 00:15:35,351
Oh, dear.
204
00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:38,978
What did you say your name was again?
205
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:41,273
What? You don't remember?
206
00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:44,526
Chil-seong. It's Chil-seong.
207
00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:47,946
That really hurts.
208
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:48,906
Was it?
209
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:52,952
For a servant's name,
yours is not so bad either.
210
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:55,871
No.
211
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,875
At birth, they called me Basket.
212
00:16:01,085 --> 00:16:03,252
Then Dog Balls.
213
00:16:03,253 --> 00:16:05,713
After that, Straw Mat.
214
00:16:05,714 --> 00:16:07,174
Because I was beaten in one so often.
215
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:14,014
You find that amusing?
216
00:16:14,598 --> 00:16:17,351
Then who gave you the name Chil-seong?
217
00:16:18,102 --> 00:16:18,936
My master.
218
00:16:20,729 --> 00:16:21,605
Lord Cho Won.
219
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:25,066
I had seven different masters,
220
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:27,860
and each one had a different family name.
221
00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:29,571
Hence the name, Chil-seong. "Seven Names."
222
00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:33,367
He named me that and said the Cho family
223
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:36,411
must be the last house I ever serve.
224
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:39,289
Yours is a pitiful fate indeed.
225
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:41,667
Wait, move.
226
00:16:43,419 --> 00:16:44,253
Oh, no.
227
00:16:46,213 --> 00:16:47,756
Oh, dear.
228
00:16:51,385 --> 00:16:54,471
For heaven's sake!
You should have taken better care of it!
229
00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:00,811
My lady.
230
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:02,854
Who is there?
231
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:05,190
Who else would it be? It is Eun-sil.
232
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:07,776
I have something for you.
233
00:17:14,616 --> 00:17:16,076
Where on earth have you been?
234
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:34,928
A letter came for you.
235
00:17:37,473 --> 00:17:38,474
Letter?
236
00:17:40,768 --> 00:17:44,146
Should a woman's conduct
defy the will of heaven and earth,
237
00:17:44,813 --> 00:17:46,398
she shall be punished by the heavens.
238
00:17:47,441 --> 00:17:49,485
Should she stray from
propriety and loyalty…
239
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,787
Here, put this in and deliver it to her.
240
00:18:01,205 --> 00:18:02,039
Huh?
241
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:14,759
All right.
242
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,928
I'll prepare a tonic
of pomegranate and velvet antler.
243
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:19,098
Have her take it
before going to bed each night.
244
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,768
You must not miss a single day
245
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:25,854
if you are to make your body fit
for childbearing.
246
00:18:27,898 --> 00:18:30,025
Thank you, my lord.
247
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:34,738
Thank my wife for it.
248
00:18:35,322 --> 00:18:36,532
Isn't that right, my lady?
249
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:03,225
A woman must keep her countenance proper,
guard her chastity,
250
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:05,476
and conduct herself…
251
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:08,272
She replied to a blank sheet?
252
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,899
So she is not even reading them.
253
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:13,861
How lovely! My lady!
254
00:19:14,611 --> 00:19:15,696
How about this one?
255
00:19:20,075 --> 00:19:21,160
My letters.
256
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:25,371
Do you even read them?
257
00:19:25,372 --> 00:19:27,416
Were you always so cruel?
258
00:19:29,209 --> 00:19:33,129
How can you send only a reply
without even trying to look into my heart?
259
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:34,089
You, sir…
260
00:19:36,216 --> 00:19:39,386
have disregarded
every earnest plea I made.
261
00:19:40,262 --> 00:19:43,557
I, on the other hand,
have kept every promise I made to you.
262
00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:51,231
Have you no pity for my heart, woman?
263
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,509
Tie it up tight.
264
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:22,221
Just take that one with you.
265
00:20:42,699 --> 00:20:43,659
Here we go.
266
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:01,593
Mother.
267
00:21:02,302 --> 00:21:04,805
I shall soon follow you,
268
00:21:06,682 --> 00:21:07,933
my dear husband.
269
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:09,851
Easy now.
270
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:15,022
I did not know your masters had gone
to hold the rite ending their mourning.
271
00:21:15,023 --> 00:21:16,274
Dear me.
272
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:19,027
We were given all this fine liquor.
273
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:23,532
- My, what a waste.
- What is that? Liquor?
274
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:29,829
- Hey! Wait!
- Hey!
275
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:31,497
What are you doing, you fool?
276
00:21:31,498 --> 00:21:33,499
Chil-seong,
I thought you were better than this!
277
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:35,251
Well, what else can I do?
278
00:21:35,252 --> 00:21:37,754
I cannot defy my master's orders, can I?
279
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:41,507
Listen, all of you!
This soil shall be as rich as can be.
280
00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:43,759
You ought to plant
something here next year.
281
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,219
- Good heavens!
- Wait!
282
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:47,221
Why would he throw such fine liquor away?
283
00:21:47,222 --> 00:21:50,266
Just keep pouring it out,
just as your master ordered!
284
00:21:50,267 --> 00:21:52,768
- Go on.
- Pour it in here.
285
00:21:52,769 --> 00:21:54,854
You are not disobeying a thing!
286
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:57,690
- Come now.
- Go on!
287
00:21:57,691 --> 00:22:00,319
- We have some ritual food left, don't we?
- Yes!
288
00:22:00,986 --> 00:22:04,531
Chil-seong, you rascal!
You are one fine servant!
289
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:42,462
Chil-seong, you rascal!
You are one fine servant!
290
00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:52,931
Let's see.
291
00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:11,324
I have this face,
292
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,411
and I even paired it with sweetness.
293
00:24:17,706 --> 00:24:20,459
What more am I meant to do? Darn it.
294
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:43,648
I received your reply.
295
00:24:44,274 --> 00:24:46,525
- Your handwriting is as beautiful…
- You're a fool.
296
00:24:46,526 --> 00:24:48,277
How could you still continue to write
297
00:24:48,278 --> 00:24:49,987
after receiving such an absurd reply?
298
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,948
Why do you torment me so?
299
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:04,168
Yesterday, I took a stroll with In-ho,
and we spoke at length.
300
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:06,087
I knew I was right about you.
301
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:08,964
Deep within your heart
302
00:25:08,965 --> 00:25:11,301
lies such gentle kindness.
303
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:14,637
But hearing you say
304
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:18,557
you wished to fill that empty place
for my brother-in-law,
305
00:25:18,558 --> 00:25:20,393
I find myself envious of him.
306
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:24,022
It is terribly wrong of me
to feel this way, is it not?
307
00:25:33,448 --> 00:25:34,699
My lord, whom I long for,
308
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:37,827
please appear before me.
309
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:40,997
My heart is in such turmoil
310
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:43,416
that I cannot sleep at all.
311
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:47,170
Please appear to me at least in my dreams.
312
00:25:47,879 --> 00:25:51,174
MY LORD, WHOM I LONG FOR,
PLEASE APPEAR BEFORE ME
313
00:26:07,774 --> 00:26:11,486
I HAVE READ IT
314
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:16,116
Eun-sil, are you there?
315
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:26,293
Eun-sil.
316
00:26:32,507 --> 00:26:34,968
Do not be alarmed, my lady.
It is I, Cho Won.
317
00:26:38,555 --> 00:26:39,889
I have come
318
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:41,890
to see you.
319
00:26:41,891 --> 00:26:44,019
What scandalous words are these?
320
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,478
Please return at once,
321
00:26:46,479 --> 00:26:48,940
and I shall pretend
none of this happened tonight.
322
00:26:49,691 --> 00:26:50,525
Do you mean to say
323
00:26:51,693 --> 00:26:53,695
you did not wish to see me?
324
00:26:54,487 --> 00:26:57,032
How could a gentleman learned in propriety
325
00:26:58,325 --> 00:27:00,744
ask such an insulting question?
326
00:27:02,537 --> 00:27:03,622
Are my feelings…
327
00:27:07,083 --> 00:27:09,252
truly an insult to you?
328
00:27:17,927 --> 00:27:20,764
Knowing now that our hearts feel the same…
329
00:27:23,391 --> 00:27:25,018
how could I…
330
00:27:25,518 --> 00:27:27,687
How could I keep myself from coming here?
331
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:30,315
That is why
332
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,444
you answered
my letters as well, is it not?
333
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:37,447
I have
334
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:40,950
read your replies.
335
00:27:43,286 --> 00:27:45,372
My lord, please do not do this.
336
00:27:49,250 --> 00:27:51,628
Why must you be so cruel to me?
337
00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:56,299
This is a bond
that can never be fulfilled in this life.
338
00:27:58,385 --> 00:27:59,928
Why do you keep longing for it?
339
00:28:10,438 --> 00:28:11,523
Then in the next life…
340
00:28:13,983 --> 00:28:16,069
will I be allowed to reach you?
341
00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:21,866
If so, then…
342
00:28:25,578 --> 00:28:27,163
send me there at once.
343
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:32,919
Otherwise…
344
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:43,221
I shall reach you…
345
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:48,768
in this life instead.
346
00:28:52,313 --> 00:28:53,523
Just as I am now.
347
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,209
Tonight…
348
00:29:19,674 --> 00:29:21,384
we shall meet in our dreams.
349
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:25,096
We must.
350
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:55,543
She falls so easily,
it is almost disappointing.
351
00:29:59,547 --> 00:30:01,758
I wonder if she will
cry herself to sleep tonight.
352
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:22,778
Madam.
353
00:30:22,779 --> 00:30:25,073
Lord Cho Won is here to see you.
354
00:30:37,001 --> 00:30:39,128
You told me to come
once I felt I was close.
355
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:42,632
So though I knew how late it was…
356
00:30:44,717 --> 00:30:46,927
I came nonetheless. Forgive me.
357
00:30:46,928 --> 00:30:48,680
You must be quite certain of yourself.
358
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:54,811
I was just with the widow.
359
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:57,272
Just the two of us.
360
00:30:58,022 --> 00:31:00,692
Very… privately.
361
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:03,903
How remarkable you are.
362
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:07,407
There must have been
at least ten pairs of eyes watching.
363
00:31:10,285 --> 00:31:11,619
What is there for me to fear
364
00:31:12,662 --> 00:31:14,789
when I have set my mind on something?
365
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:18,084
That woman
who once seemed all edge and steel
366
00:31:18,668 --> 00:31:21,337
now rests so sweetly in my arms.
367
00:31:23,006 --> 00:31:24,090
In your arms?
368
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:26,467
The widow?
369
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:29,971
It was the embrace of a man
she had never known before.
370
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:31,848
She melted right into me.
371
00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:37,228
I almost smiled
372
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:39,731
without meaning to.
373
00:31:41,858 --> 00:31:42,775
Until now,
374
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:46,237
I had moved only as planned.
375
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:48,948
But I nearly…
376
00:31:52,285 --> 00:31:53,494
gave myself away.
377
00:31:58,166 --> 00:31:59,208
Gave yourself away?
378
00:32:00,376 --> 00:32:01,376
What do you mean?
379
00:32:01,377 --> 00:32:02,545
What do you think?
380
00:32:09,844 --> 00:32:12,221
My dazzling little performance. What else?
381
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:15,141
Now I am curious
382
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,394
what exactly you did to her.
383
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:25,026
"If only I could reach you
in the next life,
384
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:27,946
I would go there…
385
00:32:30,156 --> 00:32:33,201
this very moment."
386
00:32:33,993 --> 00:32:36,663
At last, I have met a man
387
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:39,707
who leaves me breathless.
388
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,678
I longed so dearly
389
00:32:52,845 --> 00:32:54,722
for your great hands.
390
00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:01,479
And I too…
391
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,733
longed day and night…
392
00:33:08,194 --> 00:33:10,697
for your breath upon me.
393
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:15,827
Hearing such words,
394
00:33:16,452 --> 00:33:19,539
I feel I shall spend the night
thoroughly drenched.
395
00:33:53,906 --> 00:33:56,534
"My thighs seem to part
of their own accord,
396
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:59,078
yet there is no husband
to pound between them."
397
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:03,331
I long so dearly for your great hands.
398
00:34:03,332 --> 00:34:04,834
"Come visit me once."
399
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,796
"And scold
this drenched little thing of mine."
400
00:34:11,674 --> 00:34:12,966
BUN-HUI
401
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:14,510
"Bun-hui"?
402
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:28,399
You see?
403
00:34:30,151 --> 00:34:33,279
You ought not have left
after merely brushing her shoulder.
404
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:39,035
It came from the Tobacco Shop.
405
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:41,496
From So-ok's mother.
406
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:48,044
There are women all across the land
407
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:51,421
who still pine for me.
408
00:34:51,422 --> 00:34:53,965
She is simply one among them.
409
00:34:53,966 --> 00:34:55,635
You see,
410
00:34:56,803 --> 00:35:01,307
women are exceedingly displeased
by talk of other women.
411
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:03,017
So,
412
00:35:04,268 --> 00:35:06,187
did it trouble you so?
413
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:08,606
Look at you.
414
00:35:10,691 --> 00:35:11,567
There is still
415
00:35:12,902 --> 00:35:14,654
bitterness lingering between your brows.
416
00:35:16,489 --> 00:35:19,033
It's a pity I cannot imitate it for you.
417
00:35:24,288 --> 00:35:26,207
As an apology,
418
00:35:27,875 --> 00:35:28,835
I shall
419
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:31,587
give you this letter.
420
00:35:32,255 --> 00:35:35,466
I suspect it shall prove more useful
in your hands than mine.
421
00:35:38,678 --> 00:35:41,639
The daughter of the woman who wrote it.
422
00:35:42,223 --> 00:35:43,266
Teach her with this.
423
00:35:44,183 --> 00:35:46,561
Nothing could better prepare her
to be a fine concubine.
424
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:49,856
Just have her recite these words,
and your husband
425
00:35:51,357 --> 00:35:52,775
shall be greatly satisfied.
426
00:35:57,488 --> 00:35:58,573
Very well.
427
00:35:59,907 --> 00:36:01,659
I shall put it to good use.
428
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:03,744
I believe
429
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:07,206
there may be someone
who needs it more than So-ok.
430
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:11,919
What if I gave it to that widow?
431
00:36:15,047 --> 00:36:15,923
Well,
432
00:36:16,465 --> 00:36:20,344
it belongs to me now,
so I need not ask you.
433
00:36:26,392 --> 00:36:27,310
Oh, dear.
434
00:36:29,228 --> 00:36:32,647
You swallowed rather hard just now.
435
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:36,152
You must be quite flustered.
436
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,199
It's a pity I cannot imitate it for you.
437
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:44,243
Certainly not.
438
00:36:45,661 --> 00:36:46,495
I was merely
439
00:36:47,997 --> 00:36:49,915
imagining how overwhelmed she would be
440
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:52,501
by my manly charms
upon reading that letter.
441
00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:58,716
I only hope she does not faint outright.
442
00:37:03,763 --> 00:37:04,764
Gye-hwa,
443
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,933
are you there?
444
00:37:07,642 --> 00:37:09,143
You called for me, madam?
445
00:37:09,977 --> 00:37:11,853
Take this letter at once
446
00:37:11,854 --> 00:37:13,856
to the Left State Councilor's
daughter-in-law.
447
00:37:17,318 --> 00:37:18,277
Gye-hwa.
448
00:37:19,153 --> 00:37:20,528
Did you not hear me?
449
00:37:20,529 --> 00:37:21,447
I did, madam.
450
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:24,283
I shall come in then.
451
00:37:44,804 --> 00:37:46,597
I am rather curious
452
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:49,850
how that widow shall respond
after reading those words.
453
00:37:57,858 --> 00:37:59,568
If you want me to call it off,
454
00:38:00,611 --> 00:38:03,781
I shall stop the letter
before it reaches her.
455
00:38:04,782 --> 00:38:05,950
Just say the word.
456
00:38:06,617 --> 00:38:07,660
What shall I do?
457
00:38:12,832 --> 00:38:13,666
Well?
458
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,673
By all means, see it through to the end.
459
00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:54,540
Where is…
460
00:38:55,249 --> 00:38:56,083
Here it is.
461
00:39:00,212 --> 00:39:04,675
KWON GEUM-HO
462
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:41,337
You there.
463
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:48,469
Are you not Gye-hwa?
464
00:39:49,512 --> 00:39:50,846
Yes, madam.
465
00:39:58,479 --> 00:39:59,438
Come along now.
466
00:40:06,862 --> 00:40:09,782
So she sent you out in the dead of night
467
00:40:10,533 --> 00:40:12,785
merely to return Geum-ho's belongings?
468
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:14,787
Yes, madam.
469
00:40:15,287 --> 00:40:18,999
She said it was far too precious to delay
once it had been found.
470
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:22,128
I see.
471
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:24,129
Mrs. Gang-hwa,
472
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:27,173
hold onto it
and give it to Hui-yeon in the morning.
473
00:40:27,174 --> 00:40:28,217
Yes, madam.
474
00:40:37,643 --> 00:40:39,019
Is that a tobacco box?
475
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:41,272
Yes.
476
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:45,776
How thoughtful of her.
477
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,612
She still remembered
to send something for me as well.
478
00:40:49,655 --> 00:40:50,948
Bring it inside.
479
00:40:51,657 --> 00:40:52,491
Yes, madam.
480
00:40:53,367 --> 00:40:54,910
You may go now.
481
00:40:56,036 --> 00:40:56,871
Pardon?
482
00:41:35,326 --> 00:41:36,160
Madam.
483
00:41:36,785 --> 00:41:38,244
It is Gye-hwa.
484
00:41:38,245 --> 00:41:39,413
Pardon the intrusion.
485
00:41:50,132 --> 00:41:51,509
My apologies, madam!
486
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:53,260
The Lady of the First Rank
487
00:41:53,928 --> 00:41:56,430
took the tobacco box with her.
488
00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:02,435
And the letter inside it as well?
489
00:42:02,436 --> 00:42:03,270
Yes.
490
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:06,272
The fault is mine.
I do not deserve to be forgiven.
491
00:42:06,273 --> 00:42:08,692
I shall accept
whatever punishment you give.
492
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:11,820
Gye-hwa.
493
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:13,614
Yes, madam?
494
00:42:15,783 --> 00:42:18,452
Have I ever punished you?
495
00:42:33,509 --> 00:42:35,302
Prepare a proper gift
496
00:42:36,387 --> 00:42:37,930
for Her Ladyship at once.
497
00:46:39,922 --> 00:46:44,927
