1
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:11,927
‎Madam! Come take a look!

2
00:00:11,928 --> 00:00:15,015
‎-You won't find it cheaper!
‎-Best you'll find, I tell you.

3
00:00:20,395 --> 00:00:21,271
‎Master.

4
00:00:29,362 --> 00:00:31,322
‎Welcome, madam.

5
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:35,326
‎I mean, Master.

6
00:00:39,956 --> 00:00:41,416
‎The weather is quite warm.

7
00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:44,044
‎I find myself rather damp.

8
00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:47,422
‎Shall we begin?

9
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:55,865
‎Can a painting truly capture it all?

10
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:58,867
‎I am rendering it as soft and smooth

11
00:01:58,868 --> 00:02:01,453
‎as a freshly boiled egg,
‎peeled just moments ago.

12
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:02,455
‎Rather than me,

13
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:05,291
‎be sure to capture him well.

14
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,794
‎What sort of man is he?

15
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,922
‎A man blessed beyond measure
‎below the waist.

16
00:02:11,923 --> 00:02:13,799
‎As you well know,

17
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,010
‎that is not something
‎one acquires through practice.

18
00:02:16,553 --> 00:02:19,681
‎It is something one is born with,
‎as is everything in this world.

19
00:02:20,181 --> 00:02:22,684
‎He was abundantly blessed, that one.

20
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:26,563
‎But his blessings did not end there.

21
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:30,233
‎The tip of his tongue…

22
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:35,697
‎was as smooth as silk.

23
00:02:36,447 --> 00:02:38,575
‎And those great hands…

24
00:02:40,243 --> 00:02:43,288
‎Just thinking of them
‎makes me tingle down below.

25
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:49,168
‎Be sure to capture
‎the look on my face right now.

26
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:51,170
‎Do not concern yourself with that.

27
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:52,546
‎Keep going. Do not stop.

28
00:02:52,547 --> 00:02:54,966
‎It feels as though
‎he is beginning to move.

29
00:02:56,217 --> 00:02:57,927
‎My hand moves of its own accord,

30
00:02:58,511 --> 00:03:00,138
‎as though possessed.

31
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:15,653
‎Who on earth is this man?

32
00:03:17,071 --> 00:03:19,157
‎If he's so generous with his blessings,

33
00:03:20,408 --> 00:03:22,410
‎I'd like to meet him myself.

34
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:24,746
‎I'm afraid that will be difficult.

35
00:03:25,705 --> 00:03:26,622
‎Why?

36
00:03:26,623 --> 00:03:30,126
‎Because I may soon make him rue the day.

37
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:33,253
‎How dare he trifle with my only daughter?

38
00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:34,964
‎What a scoundrel.

39
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:37,759
‎Would you like me to step in?

40
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,930
‎If you wish, I could meet him myself
‎and teach him a lesson.

41
00:03:50,813 --> 00:03:55,943
‎THE SCANDAL

42
00:03:55,944 --> 00:03:57,153
‎You have been upset

43
00:03:57,862 --> 00:04:00,406
‎because I never sent word
‎after that day, have you not?

44
00:04:01,032 --> 00:04:03,117
‎I would be lying if I said I was not.

45
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:08,289
‎But I never meant to deceive you.

46
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:12,252
‎I simply found myself
‎growing more and more fond of you.

47
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:19,467
‎I have done a great deal of thinking.

48
00:04:22,136 --> 00:04:24,555
‎You lied to me,

49
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:27,016
‎and I was betrayed.

50
00:04:28,059 --> 00:04:30,228
‎I could not forgive you
‎without a second thought.

51
00:04:34,315 --> 00:04:37,443
‎But when I heard
‎that my sister-in-law had passed,

52
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,613
‎you were the first person
‎who came to mind.

53
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:44,784
‎I realized I did not want to lose you.

54
00:04:51,332 --> 00:04:52,292
‎However,

55
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,086
‎I cannot be an unfilial son.

56
00:04:56,379 --> 00:04:57,839
‎Since my brother passed,

57
00:04:59,507 --> 00:05:01,884
‎my mother has placed all her hopes in me.

58
00:05:05,054 --> 00:05:06,139
‎Compared to my brother,

59
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:09,017
‎I cannot measure up.

60
00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:12,979
‎But she still believes in me.

61
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,024
‎I cannot fail her.

62
00:05:18,276 --> 00:05:19,485
‎I am sorry.

63
00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:21,904
‎You are lying.

64
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:27,618
‎-You simply dislike me.
‎-No.

65
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:30,038
‎That is not true.

66
00:05:31,706 --> 00:05:32,874
‎I…

67
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:39,380
‎I do not dislike you.

68
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:41,507
‎I…

69
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:45,928
‎What happened to your face?

70
00:05:47,263 --> 00:05:48,389
‎Did you run into something?

71
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:50,807
‎I…

72
00:05:50,808 --> 00:05:52,727
‎Surely no one would have hit you.

73
00:05:54,812 --> 00:05:56,064
‎Well…

74
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,921
‎I was taught this is how it is done.

75
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:23,174
‎Miss.

76
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:26,511
‎What have you been learning?

77
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:30,348
‎-Did you not like it?
‎-No.

78
00:06:35,978 --> 00:06:37,188
‎I liked it.

79
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:44,277
‎Young master,
‎we shall see each other again, right?

80
00:06:44,278 --> 00:06:45,154
‎Of course.

81
00:07:16,811 --> 00:07:18,728
‎Eun-sil, was it?

82
00:07:18,729 --> 00:07:20,064
‎Yes, madam.

83
00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:22,775
‎Eun-sil, dear.

84
00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:06,944
‎Young master.

85
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:15,745
‎Over here.

86
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:17,163
‎Here.

87
00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:27,757
‎Young… Young master.

88
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:29,800
‎What are you doing here so late?

89
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:34,680
‎I was gathering my lady's clothes.

90
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:37,557
‎Even if they're to be burned,

91
00:08:37,558 --> 00:08:40,519
‎she should at least be dressed
‎in clean clothes when she goes,

92
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,938
‎so I mean to wash them.

93
00:08:44,607 --> 00:08:45,566
‎And these?

94
00:08:46,484 --> 00:08:48,945
‎Mrs. Ganghwa told me to throw them away.

95
00:08:53,491 --> 00:08:54,450
‎You seem busy.

96
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:57,954
‎I must keep busy.

97
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:00,456
‎Good night, sir.

98
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:26,542
‎Keep your mouth shut. Understood?

99
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:33,966
‎Madam.

100
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:38,679
‎Thank you.

101
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:35,068
‎If you are so curious,

102
00:11:35,069 --> 00:11:36,403
‎why don't you come inside?

103
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:37,279
‎No, I couldn't.

104
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:40,533
‎Good night, my lady.

105
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:20,072
‎Catholicism.

106
00:12:26,662 --> 00:12:27,913
‎Here, have a look at this.

107
00:12:29,248 --> 00:12:31,584
‎Her Highness will be
‎seated here in the center,

108
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,922
‎and we will fill this space
‎with musicians and dancers.

109
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:40,550
‎Just look at this clear view.

110
00:12:40,551 --> 00:12:42,803
‎Surely she will be pleased,
‎wouldn't you say?

111
00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:46,931
‎Yes, I am certain she will.

112
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:49,059
‎Of course, the banquet itself is
‎what matters most.

113
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:53,063
‎Whenever I think about it,
‎it gives me quite the headache.

114
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:54,899
‎I know that is false modesty.

115
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:59,320
‎Your talents have always been exceptional.

116
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,239
‎Why else would you have been sent here?

117
00:13:04,825 --> 00:13:08,120
‎If only His Majesty thought so too.

118
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:11,040
‎By the way…

119
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,500
‎-Yes?
‎-Given how busy you are,

120
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:16,712
‎I doubt you summoned me
‎all the way here just to show me this.

121
00:13:17,421 --> 00:13:18,339
‎Right.

122
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:22,885
‎A royal decree has arrived for you.

123
00:13:35,439 --> 00:13:36,398
‎Well…

124
00:13:38,817 --> 00:13:41,987
‎To be honest, there is something
‎I have long wondered about.

125
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:48,034
‎It is not that I look down on you.

126
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:49,036
‎It is just…

127
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:55,792
‎I mean, everyone knows
‎the sort of things you write.

128
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:58,003
‎They ought to incur His Majesty's wrath,

129
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:02,550
‎yet somehow
‎you still receive royal summons.

130
00:14:08,722 --> 00:14:11,475
‎How on earth did you
‎come to stand at His Majesty's side?

131
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:14,228
‎I do not stand at his side.

132
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,399
‎I am merely

133
00:14:19,149 --> 00:14:20,651
‎being punished there.

134
00:16:40,791 --> 00:16:42,126
‎You have returned.

135
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:01,603
‎Did your business go well?

136
00:17:08,152 --> 00:17:09,194
‎I'm sorry I'm late.

137
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:13,032
‎I meant to wait up for you.

138
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:14,908
‎Forgive me.

139
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:19,705
‎You must have been quite exhausted.

140
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:22,708
‎You were snoring.

141
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:28,380
‎Snoring?

142
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:32,551
‎That cannot be.

143
00:17:33,802 --> 00:17:35,137
‎Do not be embarrassed.

144
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:42,061
‎Even if thunder rolled from your nose…

145
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:47,691
‎in my eyes,

146
00:17:48,192 --> 00:17:52,112
‎neither Yang Guifei nor Xi Shi

147
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:54,865
‎could compare to you.

148
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,618
‎Please do not jest so.

149
00:17:58,577 --> 00:17:59,787
‎I am not jesting.

150
00:18:00,704 --> 00:18:01,663
‎I mean it.

151
00:18:20,849 --> 00:18:22,309
‎Rest easy.

152
00:18:26,897 --> 00:18:28,816
‎I shall retire to the outer quarters.

153
00:19:25,455 --> 00:19:26,790
‎What a state for a lady's face.

154
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:39,803
‎I thought you knew proper script.

155
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:43,055
‎Why are you writing in vernacular script?

156
00:19:43,056 --> 00:19:45,434
‎I know it all too well.
‎That is why I feign ignorance,

157
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:47,894
‎lest it cause trouble.

158
00:19:47,895 --> 00:19:51,398
‎Can knowing too much ever cause trouble?

159
00:19:53,817 --> 00:19:55,986
‎It is a petition
‎to be submitted to His Majesty.

160
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:58,404
‎It ought to be written this way.

161
00:19:58,405 --> 00:19:59,864
‎To His Majesty?

162
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:03,744
‎The Left State Councilor's wife asked me

163
00:20:04,578 --> 00:20:06,371
‎to submit a petition for her.

164
00:20:07,497 --> 00:20:08,665
‎How admirable.

165
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:12,794
‎You are truly
‎the finest woman in all Joseon.

166
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:15,380
‎Spare me the flattery.

167
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,054
<i>‎Could even a flower in full bloom</i>

168
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,515
<i>‎have been as fair as she?</i>

169
00:20:26,808 --> 00:20:30,019
<i>‎She looked ever so serene</i>

170
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:35,066
<i>‎when she arrived in a white palanquin,
‎clad in mourning robes</i>

171
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,402
<i>‎before she had worn her bridal silks.</i>

172
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:41,156
<i>‎Longing for the husband
‎she had never even met,</i>

173
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:45,410
<i>‎she devoted herself wholly
‎to virtue and filial piety.</i>

174
00:20:46,161 --> 00:20:48,747
<i>‎At times, I could not help but pity her.</i>

175
00:20:54,002 --> 00:20:54,919
‎Lady Cho.

176
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,880
<i>‎Yet as a fellow woman,</i>

177
00:20:57,381 --> 00:21:02,386
<i>‎I believe her virtue deserves
‎to be honored and made known.</i>

178
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:06,264
<i>‎Thus, in the hope that she may serve
‎as an example to all women,</i>

179
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:10,185
<i>‎I humbly submit this petition,
‎though I have no ties to her</i>

180
00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:13,146
<i>‎either by blood or by marriage.</i>

181
00:21:17,484 --> 00:21:18,943
‎Did you pressure her into it?

182
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:19,903
‎Pardon?

183
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:22,405
‎Whatever are you talking about?

184
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:23,614
‎Did you not ask Yoo's wife

185
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:26,118
‎to petition for Hui-yeon
‎to be recognized as a virtuous woman?

186
00:21:29,621 --> 00:21:32,582
‎Is there anyone in Hanyang
‎who does not know her reputation

187
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:34,959
‎for wisdom and virtue?

188
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,337
‎I merely thought that
‎if she could be of some help,

189
00:21:38,338 --> 00:21:39,339
‎I should…

190
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:48,890
‎I did not do it for myself.

191
00:21:50,183 --> 00:21:51,852
‎I did it for this family.

192
00:21:53,353 --> 00:21:54,771
‎Since Geum-ho died,

193
00:21:56,106 --> 00:21:57,524
‎what is left

194
00:21:58,608 --> 00:22:00,902
‎of this family?

195
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:02,696
‎My lady!

196
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:05,532
‎We did not lose only Geum-ho.

197
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:08,577
‎We lost the pillar…

198
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:11,955
‎of this family.

199
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:15,541
‎If Your Lordship
‎will not step in, then I shall.

200
00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:18,753
‎Is that not the only way
‎to ease Geum-ho's grievance?

201
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:20,672
‎The one with a grievance is you,

202
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,216
‎not Geum-ho.

203
00:22:27,012 --> 00:22:28,971
‎We have yet to recover Hui-yeon's body.

204
00:22:28,972 --> 00:22:30,390
‎Show some restraint!

205
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:34,269
‎Geum-ho…

206
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:38,565
‎keeps appearing in my dreams.

207
00:22:40,942 --> 00:22:43,111
‎My son comes to me

208
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:45,280
‎and weeps his heart out.

209
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:48,575
‎He does not say anything.

210
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:51,453
‎He only weeps.

211
00:22:56,541 --> 00:23:00,003
‎Should we not at least raise
‎a Memorial Gate for his wife's virtue?

212
00:23:02,005 --> 00:23:04,257
‎It is the only thing

213
00:23:05,675 --> 00:23:07,636
‎I can do for my son, my lord.

214
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:09,888
‎My lady.

215
00:23:14,518 --> 00:23:16,686
‎Father, it is I.

216
00:23:31,409 --> 00:23:32,327
‎What is it?

217
00:23:32,953 --> 00:23:34,412
‎Has something happened?

218
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:39,376
‎What is that in your hand?

219
00:23:51,054 --> 00:23:54,391
‎I found it in Hui-yeon's quarters.

220
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:05,610
‎INTRODUCTION
‎TO ESSENTIAL CATHOLIC TEACHINGS

221
00:24:09,656 --> 00:24:10,949
‎It's a book on Catholicism.

222
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:29,133
‎Do you truly mean to tell me

223
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,302
‎you did not know Hui-yeon was a Catholic?

224
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:32,553
‎I didn't know!

225
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:34,555
‎I really don't know anything!

226
00:24:34,556 --> 00:24:35,764
‎Mrs. Ganghwa.

227
00:24:35,765 --> 00:24:36,891
‎Yes, madam.

228
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:39,560
‎I care not if she can never walk again.

229
00:24:39,561 --> 00:24:41,604
‎Beat her until she opens her mouth!

230
00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:42,480
‎Yes, madam.

231
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:44,566
‎Madam!

232
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:46,902
‎Madam, it's true!

233
00:24:47,485 --> 00:24:50,780
‎I cannot tell you what I don't know!

234
00:24:53,658 --> 00:24:54,492
‎Fine.

235
00:24:56,077 --> 00:24:57,662
‎Then let me change the question.

236
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:00,790
‎What was it that
‎you carried out of her room?

237
00:25:01,499 --> 00:25:02,334
‎Pardon?

238
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:06,587
‎The more you lie,
‎the more beatings you will earn.

239
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:07,797
‎Tell the truth.

240
00:25:11,635 --> 00:25:13,637
‎Well, those were…

241
00:25:15,138 --> 00:25:18,225
‎You seem reluctant to answer.

242
00:25:23,104 --> 00:25:24,438
‎I'll tell you!

243
00:25:24,439 --> 00:25:25,565
‎I can tell you!

244
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:27,901
‎They were…

245
00:25:29,152 --> 00:25:30,403
‎They were letters…

246
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:35,158
‎Lord Cho Won sent her.

247
00:25:36,284 --> 00:25:37,202
‎Cho Won?

248
00:25:37,786 --> 00:25:40,413
‎You mean Minister Yoo's brother-in-law?

249
00:25:41,915 --> 00:25:43,041
‎Letters?

250
00:25:44,626 --> 00:25:45,669
‎Mrs. Ganghwa.

251
00:25:46,253 --> 00:25:47,336
‎Yes, madam.

252
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:49,546
‎Go fetch every cane in the house.

253
00:25:49,547 --> 00:25:53,801
‎I have a feeling
‎there's much more to hear from this one.

254
00:25:53,802 --> 00:25:54,678
‎Oh…

255
00:25:56,096 --> 00:25:57,055
‎Oh, dear.

256
00:26:10,443 --> 00:26:12,987
‎Madam, please spare me!

257
00:26:12,988 --> 00:26:15,406
‎I didn't do it because I wanted to!

258
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:18,867
‎Minister Yoo's wife ordered me to,

259
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:20,412
‎and I had no choice!

260
00:26:21,454 --> 00:26:22,997
‎I'm telling you the truth.

261
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:23,915
‎Who…

262
00:26:25,583 --> 00:26:26,876
‎Who ordered you?

263
00:26:28,503 --> 00:26:29,796
‎Minister Yoo's…

264
00:26:31,673 --> 00:26:32,841
‎wife.

265
00:26:52,402 --> 00:26:54,112
‎Who does that man look like to you?

266
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:56,448
‎Hard to say.

267
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:00,785
‎It cannot be,

268
00:27:01,745 --> 00:27:03,163
‎but is it Lord Cho Won?

269
00:27:05,749 --> 00:27:06,624
‎Good.

270
00:27:07,417 --> 00:27:08,667
‎That will do.

271
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:10,837
‎I got my money's worth.

272
00:27:15,633 --> 00:27:17,093
‎There was a man

273
00:27:18,219 --> 00:27:21,806
‎who went about scolding women's
‎secret places with his great hands.

274
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:27,604
‎They say more than a few women
‎soaked their undergarments because of him.

275
00:27:28,855 --> 00:27:31,524
‎Was his pounding truly so remarkable?

276
00:27:33,026 --> 00:27:34,069
‎And just then,

277
00:27:34,694 --> 00:27:38,031
‎there happens to be a woman of Bukchon
‎who has not been seen of late.

278
00:27:43,787 --> 00:27:46,873
‎Perhaps she sits across from that man,

279
00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:50,877
‎legs spread and breath coming fast.

280
00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:58,635
‎Where might that woman be?

281
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:03,598
‎-Be sure the man looks exactly the same.
‎-Yes, ma'am.

282
00:28:04,265 --> 00:28:06,100
‎Take particular care with the man.

283
00:28:06,101 --> 00:28:07,185
‎-Yes, sir.
‎-Yes, sir.

284
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:14,734
‎Good.

285
00:28:28,289 --> 00:28:31,083
‎Madam! Where are you?

286
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:32,377
‎I'm here!

287
00:28:33,628 --> 00:28:37,131
‎It has spread beyond Bukchon
‎to Jungchon and Namchon as well.

288
00:28:37,132 --> 00:28:40,926
‎The problem is that the rumors
‎are taking a rather strange turn.

289
00:28:40,927 --> 00:28:42,929
‎The timing is just too perfect.

290
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:45,557
‎The Left State Councilor's
‎daughter-in-law…

291
00:28:49,477 --> 00:28:51,145
<i>‎There was a man…</i>

292
00:28:51,146 --> 00:28:52,771
<i>‎"Come visit me once."</i>

293
00:28:52,772 --> 00:28:55,774
<i>‎-…who went about scolding women's…
‎-"And scold this</i>

294
00:28:55,775 --> 00:28:57,110
<i>‎drenched little thing of mine."</i>

295
00:29:04,492 --> 00:29:05,535
‎Your Ladyship.

296
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:07,662
‎It is too scandalous to repeat.

297
00:29:18,298 --> 00:29:19,132
‎Madam.

298
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,885
‎There you are.

299
00:29:22,886 --> 00:29:23,969
‎Hello, madam.

300
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:25,721
‎I rushed over the moment I heard--

301
00:29:25,722 --> 00:29:29,100
‎We both seem to be busy,
‎so let us dispense with pleasantries.

302
00:29:30,977 --> 00:29:31,811
‎Right.

303
00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:35,148
‎Why did you spread those rumors?

304
00:29:36,232 --> 00:29:37,066
‎Pardon?

305
00:29:38,193 --> 00:29:39,485
‎What do you mean?

306
00:29:39,486 --> 00:29:41,237
‎Was it my cousin you resented?

307
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:47,035
‎Or the Left State Councilor's
‎daughter-in-law?

308
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:50,121
‎If neither,

309
00:29:51,372 --> 00:29:53,958
‎have I done you some grave wrong?

310
00:29:55,168 --> 00:29:57,836
‎A wrong? No, madam. Of course not.

311
00:29:57,837 --> 00:29:58,755
‎Then what is it?

312
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:01,591
‎Why would you do such a thing?

313
00:30:02,217 --> 00:30:05,637
‎Is there something you want from me?

314
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:11,100
‎Madam.

315
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:13,895
‎I do not wish for much.

316
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:17,356
‎I only want So-ok to be
‎the young madam of this house…

317
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:21,194
‎No, I mean, a concubine
‎and live comfortably. That is all.

318
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:24,364
‎But if Lord Cho Won's visits
‎to her quarters

319
00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:26,157
‎were to get her cast off,

320
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:28,827
‎would that not break her mother's heart?

321
00:30:29,619 --> 00:30:30,745
‎So,

322
00:30:31,746 --> 00:30:34,165
‎could you simply promise me
‎that So-ok will never be

323
00:30:34,874 --> 00:30:36,292
‎turned out of this house?

324
00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:39,254
‎That I have nothing to fear?

325
00:30:40,296 --> 00:30:41,130
‎Please?

326
00:30:44,092 --> 00:30:45,843
‎So this is blackmail.

327
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:47,469
‎And from the likes of you.

328
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:50,014
‎Mrs. Ganghwa! The palanquin is ready!

329
00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:08,574
‎A merchant's nerve

330
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:10,450
‎is something else indeed.

331
00:31:10,451 --> 00:31:12,786
‎Gather up every copy you have put out.

332
00:31:12,787 --> 00:31:14,663
‎They must not spread
‎beyond the city gates.

333
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:17,249
‎Yes, I'll collect every one of them.

334
00:31:17,250 --> 00:31:19,376
‎Every last one.

335
00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:21,921
‎Leave quietly. Do not make a sound.

336
00:31:22,589 --> 00:31:23,506
‎Yes, madam.

337
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:32,181
‎Let us go.

338
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:54,829
‎There is

339
00:31:56,331 --> 00:31:58,333
‎something rather amusing
‎circulating in Bukchon.

340
00:31:59,959 --> 00:32:03,087
‎The man described and depicted in it

341
00:32:03,963 --> 00:32:05,798
‎does seem familiar.

342
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:13,681
‎But I pay it no mind,
‎so you need not worry.

343
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:16,684
‎You already told me

344
00:32:17,852 --> 00:32:20,480
‎of your cousin's indiscretions after all.

345
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:23,232
‎Even if

346
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:27,320
‎those indiscretions happened to involve
‎someone in my house…

347
00:32:30,698 --> 00:32:32,700
‎What good would come
‎of dredging them up now?

348
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:37,288
‎Oh,

349
00:32:38,247 --> 00:32:39,082
‎of course.

350
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:43,794
‎I do find it rather galling that
‎you knew something and kept it from me.

351
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:45,837
‎But I shall not ask for an explanation.

352
00:32:45,838 --> 00:32:46,714
‎Instead…

353
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:50,718
‎just see to it that what Eun-sil delivered

354
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:53,554
‎is dealt with properly.

355
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:55,848
‎One more thing.

356
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:59,852
‎I need a Memorial Gate for Hui-yeon.

357
00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:04,023
‎If only you would exert yourself

358
00:33:05,775 --> 00:33:07,193
‎a little more on that matter.

359
00:33:12,156 --> 00:33:14,534
‎Am I asking too much?

360
00:33:16,911 --> 00:33:17,996
‎Not at all.

361
00:33:23,918 --> 00:33:24,919
‎This is

362
00:33:26,587 --> 00:33:28,047
‎a most interesting place.

363
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:45,648
‎It doesn't hurt, right?

364
00:33:49,652 --> 00:33:52,195
‎Isn't that your mistress over there?

365
00:33:52,196 --> 00:33:53,573
‎Move a little closer to the side.

366
00:33:54,741 --> 00:33:56,867
‎It's only a few steps,

367
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:59,328
‎yet she always insists on
‎riding in a damn palanquin.

368
00:34:00,997 --> 00:34:04,041
‎Easy! I told you to move gently!

369
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:06,127
‎Sorry. Does it hurt that much?

370
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:08,795
‎What, did you think
‎it'd only hurt a little?

371
00:34:08,796 --> 00:34:10,757
‎It feels like
‎my calves are being torn apart.

372
00:34:11,591 --> 00:34:15,386
‎I'll move like a snake,
‎nice and smooth, all right?

373
00:34:15,887 --> 00:34:17,680
‎So you won't feel a thing.

374
00:34:18,264 --> 00:34:19,723
‎Nice and smooth.

375
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:22,435
‎Just hurry up.
‎If I'm late, I will only get an earful.

376
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:24,187
‎All right.

377
00:34:24,812 --> 00:34:26,229
‎Silk for sale!

378
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:29,609
‎-Nice and smooth like this.
‎-Fine silk!

379
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,444
<i>‎Why is there still no word</i>

380
00:34:32,445 --> 00:34:34,739
<i>‎from the one who promised to come soon?</i>

381
00:34:35,364 --> 00:34:37,199
<i>‎I have something to tell you,</i>

382
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,618
<i>‎so I wish you would make haste.</i>

383
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:41,579
‎My lord, may I come in?

384
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:30,127
‎Did you make all of this yourself?

385
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:31,838
‎Mrs. Asan and I prepared it together.

386
00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:54,693
‎Come and take a look!

387
00:35:54,694 --> 00:35:56,486
<i>‎I have an idea. Here.</i>

388
00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:59,282
‎Like this. Well?

389
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:01,617
‎What do you think?

390
00:36:02,285 --> 00:36:03,911
‎I cannot see a thing.

391
00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:07,165
‎How about now?

392
00:36:10,042 --> 00:36:13,211
‎There are countless things
‎that can only be seen today.

393
00:36:13,212 --> 00:36:15,047
‎Today comes but once, does it not?

394
00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:17,341
‎There are many places I wish to take you.

395
00:36:20,052 --> 00:36:22,680
‎This will do. There.

396
00:36:26,809 --> 00:36:28,393
‎Come and have a look!

397
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:30,980
‎Buy some taffy! Fresh taffy!

398
00:36:31,689 --> 00:36:33,940
‎Good sir! Have a look at this taffy!

399
00:36:33,941 --> 00:36:36,944
‎Come now. It's nice and sweet!

400
00:36:42,575 --> 00:36:43,409
‎My lady.

401
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:15,106
‎The stones are quite slippery.

402
00:37:15,107 --> 00:37:16,943
‎Here, this should help.

403
00:41:55,513 --> 00:41:56,972
<i>‎There will come a day…</i>

404
00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:00,935
<i>‎when I look back on this night.</i>

405
00:42:03,646 --> 00:42:06,649
‎I fear the memory may fade.

406
00:42:13,822 --> 00:42:14,990
‎It frightens me terribly.

407
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:18,702
‎Are you such a coward?

408
00:42:49,066 --> 00:42:51,860
‎Why do you suddenly look so sad?

409
00:42:55,447 --> 00:42:57,074
‎I am so happy that…

410
00:43:00,828 --> 00:43:01,704
‎somehow…

411
00:43:05,833 --> 00:43:07,251
‎it makes me uneasy.

412
00:43:45,247 --> 00:43:47,541
‎I want to etch into your heart

413
00:43:51,795 --> 00:43:53,922
‎how much this night means to me.

414
00:43:56,759 --> 00:43:58,260
‎Will you let me?

415
00:44:02,473 --> 00:44:04,183
‎Etch it deeply.

416
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:07,853
‎I wish to hold on to it.

417
00:44:23,702 --> 00:44:26,288
‎Are you truly going to see His Majesty?

418
00:44:26,830 --> 00:44:29,166
‎Why? Do you not believe me?

419
00:44:29,792 --> 00:44:30,751
‎No.

420
00:44:31,835 --> 00:44:32,711
‎It's only that

421
00:44:33,629 --> 00:44:36,507
‎I feel there is still so much
‎I do not know about you.

422
00:44:38,509 --> 00:44:40,426
‎I shall be back before you go to sleep.

423
00:44:40,427 --> 00:44:41,804
‎Nothing will happen.

424
00:44:46,058 --> 00:44:48,143
‎I have agreed to go work with her.

425
00:44:49,144 --> 00:44:52,189
‎It seems safer to go with her

426
00:44:53,232 --> 00:44:55,025
‎than to stay here alone all day.

427
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:59,571
‎When you say work, do you mean farm work?

428
00:45:00,155 --> 00:45:01,115
‎It's all right.

429
00:45:02,741 --> 00:45:04,909
‎As you said, nothing will happen.

430
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:06,327
‎Even so, how could you…

431
00:45:06,328 --> 00:45:08,996
‎I'll be with her the whole time.

432
00:45:08,997 --> 00:45:10,790
‎I won't let her do any hard work,

433
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:13,001
‎so just be on your way, young master.

434
00:45:16,797 --> 00:45:20,634
‎Come now. If you're to be back
‎before she goes to sleep, you must hurry.

435
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:36,233
‎Wait, my lord!

436
00:45:47,828 --> 00:45:48,912
‎Well, I…

437
00:46:06,472 --> 00:46:09,349
‎I have pressed my heart into these words.

438
00:46:09,975 --> 00:46:12,728
‎Please keep them close.

439
00:46:15,522 --> 00:46:16,815
<i>‎Then can you write</i>

440
00:46:18,942 --> 00:46:22,571
‎a heartfelt account
‎of the sound of that widow's door opening

441
00:46:24,406 --> 00:46:25,866
‎after 20 long years?

442
00:46:26,783 --> 00:46:29,828
‎Can you prove it to me in writing?

443
00:46:56,313 --> 00:46:57,397
‎I will be back.

444
00:48:02,921 --> 00:48:05,047
‎I was cutting away like this,

445
00:48:05,048 --> 00:48:07,758
‎then I ran out of strength

446
00:48:07,759 --> 00:48:10,137
‎and fell right on my bum!

447
00:48:22,649 --> 00:48:24,109
‎You have arrived in good time.

448
00:48:26,695 --> 00:48:28,614
‎At Your Majesty's command,

449
00:48:29,156 --> 00:48:31,157
‎I, Cho Won, have come from Hwaseong.

450
00:48:31,158 --> 00:48:34,244
‎I received your reply
‎to my secret directive.

451
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,245
‎So,

452
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:38,832
‎the construction
‎is progressing swiftly in practice?

453
00:48:39,416 --> 00:48:40,625
‎It is, Your Majesty.

454
00:48:40,626 --> 00:48:43,169
‎Most notably, the craftsmen's productivity

455
00:48:43,170 --> 00:48:44,879
‎has risen considerably.

456
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,382
‎I suspect that since wages are now paid
‎according to ability,

457
00:48:48,383 --> 00:48:51,469
‎they take pride in that distinction alone.

458
00:48:51,470 --> 00:48:53,304
‎And I trust it may also serve

459
00:48:53,305 --> 00:48:56,557
‎as motivation
‎for those beneath them to strive harder?

460
00:48:56,558 --> 00:48:57,434
‎Indeed.

461
00:48:58,852 --> 00:49:01,145
‎I believe the work may well be completed

462
00:49:01,146 --> 00:49:03,774
‎years ahead of the original schedule.

463
00:49:05,192 --> 00:49:07,861
‎Provided the high officials
‎do not stir up any trouble.

464
00:49:09,571 --> 00:49:10,488
‎Now,

465
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:13,533
‎I summoned you in such haste
‎for another matter.

466
00:49:21,958 --> 00:49:23,669
‎The Left State Councilor's daughter-in-law

467
00:49:24,336 --> 00:49:26,588
‎returned to her hometown
‎and passed away there.

468
00:49:28,090 --> 00:49:32,135
‎They have yet to find her body,
‎as no one knows exactly where she died.

469
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,346
‎I wish to commend her filial devotion,

470
00:49:35,347 --> 00:49:38,224
‎but the fellow insists he will not have it
‎unless the body is found.

471
00:49:38,225 --> 00:49:40,686
‎How am I to overrule such stubbornness?

472
00:49:42,145 --> 00:49:45,649
‎I hear her hometown lies
‎near the construction site in Hwaseong.

473
00:49:47,025 --> 00:49:48,902
‎Do you think
‎you could search for her remains?

474
00:49:59,579 --> 00:50:01,289
‎As you command, Your Majesty.

475
00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:13,385
‎-Goodness.
‎-There.

476
00:50:17,931 --> 00:50:21,184
‎Look, go have something to drink
‎and rest a spell.

477
00:50:22,310 --> 00:50:24,438
‎All right? Go on.

478
00:50:50,088 --> 00:50:52,047
‎I will be back in a moment.

479
00:50:52,048 --> 00:50:53,049
‎All right.

480
00:51:21,995 --> 00:51:23,871
‎A bumper harvest!

481
00:51:23,872 --> 00:51:26,957
‎-It has ripened beautifully!
‎-Indeed!

482
00:51:26,958 --> 00:51:27,959
‎Hui-yeon!

483
00:51:29,336 --> 00:51:30,212
‎Hui-yeon!

484
00:51:34,508 --> 00:51:35,383
‎Hui-yeon.

485
00:51:39,513 --> 00:51:41,765
‎Hui-yeon. It is I, In-ho.

486
00:51:43,308 --> 00:51:44,476
‎You are alive?

487
00:51:59,449 --> 00:52:00,408
‎In-ho.

488
00:52:01,535 --> 00:52:02,452
‎How is it

489
00:52:04,204 --> 00:52:05,497
‎that you are here?

490
00:52:16,258 --> 00:52:17,926
‎I was on my way to see Master Cho Won.

491
00:52:20,095 --> 00:52:21,805
‎But if you are here, then I…

492
00:52:26,685 --> 00:52:27,561
‎In-ho.

493
00:52:28,812 --> 00:52:30,021
‎In-ho.

494
00:52:30,772 --> 00:52:31,648
‎In-ho!

495
00:52:44,202 --> 00:52:47,162
‎What brings you here at this hour?

496
00:52:47,163 --> 00:52:49,416
‎Madam, have you heard?

497
00:52:50,458 --> 00:52:52,626
‎About the Lady of the First Rank's
‎daughter-in-law.

498
00:52:52,627 --> 00:52:55,964
‎They say her body has yet to be found.

499
00:53:01,970 --> 00:53:03,971
‎My husband may be over the hill,

500
00:53:03,972 --> 00:53:06,182
‎but news reaches him
‎quickly enough, you see.

501
00:53:07,767 --> 00:53:09,769
‎I hear His Majesty

502
00:53:10,854 --> 00:53:15,025
‎ordered someone to find the body today.

503
00:53:16,443 --> 00:53:20,030
‎Your cousin, Cho Won.

504
00:54:12,624 --> 00:54:14,250
‎What are you doing out here?

505
00:54:15,293 --> 00:54:16,211
‎Young master.

506
00:54:17,337 --> 00:54:18,505
‎You are home late.

507
00:58:09,402 --> 00:58:14,407
