1
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:26,735
I'll go my way.

2
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:30,822
Please come and meet me, my dear husband.

3
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:36,036
My lady?

4
00:00:36,828 --> 00:00:37,829
Your grace?

5
00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:39,956
Oh, no. What's she doing?

6
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:43,293
My lady, what are you doing?
<font color="white">It's not safe!</font><font color="white"></font></font>

7
00:00:43,376 --> 00:00:45,587
-You could be badly injured!
-[servant 2] Madam!

8
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:47,756
-Oh, dear. [grunts]
-[servant 3] Your grace! My lady!

9
00:00:47,839 --> 00:00:50,592
-Oh, my dear. My lady, please.
<font color="white">-Hurry, quickly!</font><font color="white"></font></font>

10
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:52,719
[servant] Oh, dear.

11
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:56,681
-[sighs]
-Eun-sil.

12
00:00:58,057 --> 00:00:59,142
Onwards.

13
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:01,770
[Eun-sil] Your grace.

14
00:01:10,361 --> 00:01:11,362
[Won] Wait here.

15
00:01:12,322 --> 00:01:14,282
<font color="white">[tense music playing]</font><font color="white"></font>

16
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:32,425
I…

17
00:01:41,559 --> 00:01:42,560
I wa…

18
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:47,232
[sighs]

19
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:04,207
"An Hui-yeon."

20
00:02:21,432 --> 00:02:25,061
-[birds squawking]
-[cattle lowing]

21
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:39,576
<font color="white">Because it's always been my wish…</font><font color="white"></font>

22
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,499
to hold a child in my arms
that has your eyes.

23
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:49,711
Do you see, dear cousin…

24
00:02:52,881 --> 00:02:55,675
those tokens of memories
expose your utmost desires.

25
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:02,599
<font color="white">Could…</font><font color="white"></font>

26
00:03:05,393 --> 00:03:06,644
Could you mean it?

27
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:11,649
[Gye-hwa] My lady!

28
00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:16,070
Madam, it is I, Gye-hwa.
With your leave, may I enter?

29
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:33,546
[sighs] Madam,

30
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:37,050
<font color="white">the Lady of the First Rank has sent</font><font color="white">
another gift of medicinal herbs again.

31
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:40,178
What would you like to do?
Shall we return it?

32
00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:42,388
The Left State Councilor's family matters.

33
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:46,893
<font color="white">I trust you're aware of the sudden passing</font><font color="white">
of their son several years ago?

34
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:49,062
Along the journey to Hanyang,

35
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:52,023
I encountered the young widow,
I'm nearly certain.

36
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,525
<font color="white">Though I only caught a glimpse of her.</font><font color="white"></font>

37
00:03:55,944 --> 00:03:56,986
[sighs]

38
00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:01,199
But she had an allure even
the most decorous gentleman would see.

39
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:07,080
As if she deliberately hides
<font color="white">her sensuality to create this magnetism.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

40
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:08,581
And you believe this?

41
00:04:09,874 --> 00:04:12,168
You scoffed once at the mention of So-ok.

42
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:15,630
Clearly, the widow evokes in you
a more eager response.

43
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:17,548
<font color="white">[chuckles]</font><font color="white"></font>

44
00:04:20,176 --> 00:04:22,053
Can you see the obvious here?

45
00:04:22,553 --> 00:04:25,348
Comparing a young girl to a woman of fate.

46
00:04:25,848 --> 00:04:29,060
The woman of fate in full bloom
is far more interesting.

47
00:04:29,143 --> 00:04:30,770
[chuckles]

48
00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:32,605
<font color="white">Speaking so boldly, cousin.</font><font color="white"></font>

49
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:36,067
As if you've already charmed
the young widow into your comforting hold.

50
00:04:38,194 --> 00:04:39,612
[chuckles]

51
00:04:48,538 --> 00:04:49,539
Mmm.

52
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,750
Anyone like that young widow…

53
00:04:56,796 --> 00:05:00,842
<font color="white">I could freely and easily</font><font color="white">
have her within a month.

54
00:05:01,551 --> 00:05:04,679
That woman has kept her virtue
untarnished by men for decades.

55
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,016
You believe you can coax her
into your affections?

56
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:11,644
<font color="white">A woman whose modesty</font><font color="white">
will not be compromised easily?

57
00:05:12,937 --> 00:05:14,063
Be honest.

58
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:16,149
What do you wish me to achieve?

59
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:17,650
What do you mean?

60
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:19,944
I only intend to caution you,

61
00:05:20,028 --> 00:05:23,406
<font color="white">as harm is inevitable</font><font color="white">
if you manage the widow properly now.

62
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:26,159
Plus,
the Left State Councilor's family ties.

63
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:33,207
Regarding the proposal concerning So-ok,

64
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:36,544
I'll retract my words,
<font color="white">so put aside your reckless games.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

65
00:05:36,627 --> 00:05:38,546
[chuckles] Reckless games?

66
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:41,299
Have faith, my dear cousin.

67
00:05:42,508 --> 00:05:44,469
Your jealousy is too apparent.

68
00:05:44,552 --> 00:05:47,013
It is for your consideration,
<font color="white">I say these things.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

69
00:05:47,638 --> 00:05:49,307
Yet you only assume jealousy?

70
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:51,100
Yes.

71
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,770
I merely meant to have some fun,
which you have ended.

72
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:55,605
And now you…

73
00:05:57,065 --> 00:05:58,941
<font color="white">stir my curiosity even more.</font><font color="white"></font>

74
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,277
Cousin.

75
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:05,406
So you attempt to break it

76
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:08,326
though the cost of these actions
will bring you harm?

77
00:06:08,409 --> 00:06:09,452
Why?

78
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:11,245
<font color="white">Am I not trustworthy?</font><font color="white"></font>

79
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:13,539
And if the mission is successful?

80
00:06:13,623 --> 00:06:14,874
I made my concerns known,

81
00:06:14,957 --> 00:06:18,336
but if you insist that you will
go forward with the plan then…

82
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:23,758
<font color="white">In that case, you shall be rewarded</font><font color="white"></font>

83
00:06:24,258 --> 00:06:27,428
with whatever it is that you desire.

84
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:31,265
Whatever

85
00:06:32,767 --> 00:06:34,268
I desire?

86
00:06:39,607 --> 00:06:41,192
[cups rattle]

87
00:06:46,864 --> 00:06:49,534
Dear cousin, you alone drive my desire.

88
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:51,369
<font color="white">Surely you must know</font><font color="white"></font>

89
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:54,497
I have waited for you for over ten years.

90
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:58,918
Then, my dear cousin.

91
00:06:59,001 --> 00:07:02,964
Can you provide the sounds
of that young widow opening herself to you

92
00:07:03,714 --> 00:07:06,050
<font color="white">after decades with untarnished virtue</font><font color="white"></font>

93
00:07:07,718 --> 00:07:11,389
in a mature piece of heartfelt writing?

94
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:16,727
[exhales shakily]

95
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:22,733
Yes.

96
00:07:27,822 --> 00:07:29,407
If it would please you,

97
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,910
I could offer to read them aloud to her.

98
00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:36,873
<font color="white">How will you make it up to me</font><font color="white"></font>

99
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:40,334
if the objective is left incomplete?

100
00:07:43,337 --> 00:07:44,964
You'll have many wishes.

101
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,926
First, I shall plant
a maternal seed in So-ok.

102
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:52,305
<font color="white">Are you going to commit to your word?</font><font color="white"></font>

103
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:54,140
For you, I…

104
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:57,560
give you my word.

105
00:08:02,106 --> 00:08:03,483
[chuckles]

106
00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:08,404
-We're nearly prepared, correct?
-Most were handled this morning.

107
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:10,698
<font color="white">[sighs] I'm looking forward to the meal.</font><font color="white"></font>

108
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:18,498
-[Eun-sil] All right! I understand!
-Hmm.

109
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:21,083
This is nonsense.
To offer her boiled meat.

110
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:24,462
So now I'm meant to suffer
<font color="white">because my womb is devoid of child?</font><font color="white"></font></font>

111
00:08:24,545 --> 00:08:26,839
[scoffs] I would die to eat some meat too.

112
00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:28,257
[servant] Eun-sil.

113
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:31,969
Eun-sil! I said,
we're going to leave soon!

114
00:08:32,053 --> 00:08:34,263
<font color="white">I already said I heard you! [huffs]</font><font color="white"></font>

-[gate opens]
-[yelps]

116
00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:44,607
Uh, nice to… to meet.
[stammers] A pleasure.

117
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:46,984
-Is your name Eun-sil?
<font color="white">-Yes.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

118
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:50,238
A beautiful name
suited for your nice looks.

119
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:51,656
Oh, wow.

120
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:55,117
What you conceal down there is also nice.

121
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,454
[sighs] Very nice.

122
00:08:59,914 --> 00:09:00,998
<font color="white">Hmm?</font><font color="white"></font>

123

-[gasps]
-Hmm?

124
00:09:03,167 --> 00:09:05,461
[grunts] Get your hands off me,
you wretched man.

125
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:06,712
No, just…

126
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:07,880
Wait! Hey!

127
00:09:07,964 --> 00:09:10,508
<font color="white">I wanted to ask</font><font color="white">
if you're craving any meat today?

00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:17,598
My lord!

My lord.

131
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:25,648
<font color="white">I think she has a craving</font><font color="white">
for fresh meat. [chuckles]

132
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:27,483
-Fresh meat?
-Yes.

133
00:09:29,026 --> 00:09:32,530
Well, now to be eating meat
while still in mourning…

134
00:09:32,613 --> 00:09:34,115
<font color="white">It's Eun-sil, though.</font><font color="white"></font>

135
00:09:34,615 --> 00:09:35,658
The lady's servant girl.

136
00:09:37,994 --> 00:09:39,370
-Eun-sil?
-Yes.

137
00:09:39,453 --> 00:09:41,706
-You've already introduced yourselves now?
-Yes.

138
00:09:42,707 --> 00:09:43,708
<font color="white">You see,</font><font color="white"></font>

139
00:09:43,791 --> 00:09:46,127
it is only thanks to my fine master,

140
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:48,879
who so kindly has given me pork
and beef and many meats.

141
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:53,551
Yet others at my station have never
<font color="white">had the honor to experience such things.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

142
00:09:56,304 --> 00:09:57,305
Correct?

143
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,393
I'd like to know where
that girl Eun-sil has gone.

144
00:10:02,476 --> 00:10:03,894
Mmm. Yes.

145
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:14,155
[crying]

146
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,999
<font color="white">[crying continues]</font><font color="white"></font>

147
00:10:33,549 --> 00:10:34,550
[Won] Here.

148
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:47,146
Perfect.

149
00:10:51,275 --> 00:10:52,401
My lady,

150
00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:55,446
you cannot escape my mind.

151
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:57,698
Your thoughts, Chil-seong?

152
00:10:58,282 --> 00:10:59,283
Good. Yes.

153
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:00,701
<font color="white">Nah, not that.</font><font color="white"></font>

154
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:01,952
I must do better.

155
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:04,330
Tormented by your face each day

156
00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:06,248
of the first…

157
00:11:06,874 --> 00:11:08,292
first moment's sight.

158
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:09,377
That feels right?

00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:10,461
<font color="white">Yes.</font><font color="white"></font>

160
00:11:12,046 --> 00:11:13,047

-[grunts]
-Dimwit.

164
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:22,056
You mustn't move yet.

<font color="white">[sighs] This is all wrong.</font><font color="white"></font>

166
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,519
Again.

167
00:11:49,834 --> 00:11:50,918
[Won] My lady!

168
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:54,046
Oh, my. Oh, my, look who it is!

169
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:56,257
It has been a long while.

170
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:59,051
-Your name, sir?
<font color="white">-Which family are you from, sir?</font><font color="white"></font></font>

171
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:00,386
I'm unfamiliar with your face.

172
00:12:00,469 --> 00:12:02,096
You say I'm not familiar to you?

173
00:12:02,179 --> 00:12:04,765
Pardon, the brother-in-law
to Minister Yoo, my lady.

174
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:07,393
<font color="white">Cho Won is my name.</font><font color="white"></font>

175
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:10,646
I simply intended to greet you
as I assumed we had met.

176
00:12:10,729 --> 00:12:13,065
But please forgive me
if I have offended you.

177
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:15,109
Our home is quite near
<font color="white">to Lord Yoo's estate,</font><font color="white"></font></font>

178
00:12:15,192 --> 00:12:18,571
so you may have seen each other
in passing.

179
00:12:19,196 --> 00:12:22,616
Ah, then that means you are the Lady Cho's
striking younger brother?

180
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,452
We are cousins, madam.

181
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,084
<font color="white">[chuckles]</font><font color="white"></font>

182
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:37,423
If you please, I can arrange a call
with my dear cousin.

183
00:12:37,506 --> 00:12:38,674
Please do so.

184
00:12:41,677 --> 00:12:42,678
[Eun-sil] My lady.

185
00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:45,890
My lady, madam, wait, wait.

-Here, take it.
-What's this?

188
00:12:49,226 --> 00:12:50,227
[Chil-seong] It's a letter.

189
00:12:50,311 --> 00:12:52,104
-You know how to write?
-Just hurry up and deliver it.

[Yun] Your hard work is appreciated.

194
00:13:18,881 --> 00:13:19,882
Thank you.

195
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:25,471
Oh, I happened to run into your cousin
<font color="white">through an unexpected meeting.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

196
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:27,348
Pardon?

197
00:13:27,431 --> 00:13:30,184
I have heard so much about him, of course.

198
00:13:30,267 --> 00:13:33,521
He was exceptionally refined,
even in our small exchange.

199
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:36,482
With no thoughts of doubt,
<font color="white">I knew you shared the same blood.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

200
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:38,275
That is quite the commendation.

201
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:40,569
Please.

202
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:21,443
Young Master Geum-ho…

203
00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:25,030
[sighs] I humbly apologize.

204
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:26,657
I had grown accustomed to…

205
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:32,580
<font color="white">Please keep your husband's memory alive.</font><font color="white"></font>

206
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:38,669
In our study annex,
back when he was with us,

207
00:14:38,752 --> 00:14:41,130
he consumed every book he could manage.

208
00:14:41,755 --> 00:14:45,175
It seems that he transcribed this book
<font color="white">while studying on his own.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

209
00:14:45,968 --> 00:14:47,595
Give it a proper look now.

210
00:14:57,521 --> 00:14:58,772
KWON GEUM-HO

211
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:00,774
[Hui-yeon breathes shakily]

212
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:03,736
[curious music playing]

213
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:13,454
Do you feel his boldness?
<font color="white">His steadfast resolve?</font><font color="white"></font></font>

214
00:15:13,537 --> 00:15:14,997
It's right on the page.

215
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:23,213
Do you think you could tell me

216
00:15:23,797 --> 00:15:26,467
more of the person it was
that I was meant to wed?

217
00:15:33,807 --> 00:15:38,437
The young master had many traits
<font color="white">that made him remarkable.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

218
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:43,734
The sound of his reading
coming over the wall never ceased.

219
00:15:43,817 --> 00:15:47,404
He was the object
of the family elders' high expectations.

220
00:15:48,364 --> 00:15:50,282
<font color="white">I also heard that he scored higher</font><font color="white"></font>

221
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:53,494
than the other scholarly men
who took the initial examination.

222
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:56,747
However,

223
00:15:57,665 --> 00:16:01,961
the version of him inside the mind
is another man entirely.

224
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:05,047
<font color="white">He was a gentle and tender man.</font><font color="white"></font>

225
00:16:05,756 --> 00:16:09,259
He once held a loose petal gently
in between his fingers.

226
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:12,221
He admired it so quietly.

227
00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:17,434
His eyes would sparkle with curiosity
at every turn

228
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:21,563
<font color="white">as he'd observe and admire the world</font><font color="white">
as it would propel from season to season,

229

230
00:16:24,274 --> 00:16:26,235
When I think of him again,

231
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:28,904
I'll remember his eyes.

Ah, your grace.

I would like you to meet the mother
to my lord's future concubine.

Well, despite my lowly servant role,

00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:11,436
Then once mourning stops,
everything will be over.

310
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,772
[Chil-seong] Good heavens.
<font color="white">This looks good. Yes.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

311
00:21:13,855 --> 00:21:16,066
Isn't it a good thing
if everything is over?

312
00:21:16,566 --> 00:21:18,735
During the mourning period,
you miss fine dining.

313
00:21:18,819 --> 00:21:21,113
-What of the Memorial Gate?
<font color="white">-W-What is that?</font><font color="white"></font></font>

314
00:21:21,196 --> 00:21:23,198
Virtuous women
chase their husbands after they go.

315
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:24,908
-[scoffs]
-Oh.

316
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:28,203
So ignorant of which you speak.

317
00:21:32,165 --> 00:21:33,875
<font color="white">[Chil-seong] I truly did not know.</font><font color="white"></font>

318
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:35,502
Hmm.

319
00:21:50,851 --> 00:21:52,185
I am your guide now.

320
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:55,605
Watch and listen carefully
for instructions.

321
00:21:57,024 --> 00:21:58,191
Yes.

322
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:00,068
<font color="white">[weaver 1] Sister, there are</font><font color="white">
two more baskets coming.

323
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:02,446
[weaver 2] All right,
hurry and hand them over. Quickly.

324
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:09,953
[sighs]

325
00:22:16,918 --> 00:22:18,420
A moment, cousin?

326
00:22:18,503 --> 00:22:22,716
<font color="white">In our household, one's manners</font><font color="white">
are required to meet a certain standard.

327
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,344
Ah, his lord's future concubine.

328
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:27,054
So-ok, she's called.

329
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:31,892
It is a pleasure, my lord.

330
00:22:33,393 --> 00:22:34,561
<font color="white">Pleased to meet you.</font><font color="white"></font>

331
00:22:42,152 --> 00:22:44,863
Did you go and pay a visit
to the young widow?

332
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:51,453
Were your words of your cousin flattering?

333
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:54,998
Back in my family's home library,

334
00:22:55,082 --> 00:22:59,211
the Young Master Geum-ho
<font color="white">would use our study annex for many hours.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

335
00:22:59,294 --> 00:23:01,630
-Ah.
-He left his writings.

336
00:23:01,713 --> 00:23:05,509
It seemed correct to return it
with gentle conversation.

337
00:23:06,009 --> 00:23:08,136
[sighs] Unbelievable.

338
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:11,014
<font color="white">[laughs] Her husband's very own notebook?</font><font color="white"></font>

339
00:23:11,098 --> 00:23:15,393
How she begged me to please tell her
everything she did not get to know.

340
00:23:16,436 --> 00:23:18,897
I told her everything I could recall.

341
00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:23,985
How she looked at that notebook
<font color="white">as though his mind lived inside.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

342
00:23:25,612 --> 00:23:26,863
And you missed it.

343
00:23:27,614 --> 00:23:30,700
I will remember the look in her eyes,
dear cousin.

344
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:32,661
Now imagine the widow,

345
00:23:32,744 --> 00:23:36,665
the same look fills her lonely eyes,
<font color="white">and then she begs for me to love her.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

346
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:42,295
I believe tonight's sweet slumber
may leave me troubled.

347
00:23:42,838 --> 00:23:43,839
[chuckles]

348
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:48,468
I shan't worry then,
if you are so confident.

349
00:23:48,969 --> 00:23:51,429
<font color="white">It could really be quite the task</font><font color="white"></font>

350
00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:56,184
if you do replace all those thoughts
of her husband that keep her mind full.

351
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:58,854
He is a ghost.
How could he fill her thoughts?

352
00:23:59,354 --> 00:24:04,151
<font color="white">And where does his soul measure by</font><font color="white">
a living mortal who stands firmly present?

353
00:24:04,985 --> 00:24:07,404
She longs for a man she has not seen.

354
00:24:07,487 --> 00:24:10,699
Once our fated paths do meet,
my widow will beg for my touch.

355
00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:12,784
<font color="white">And do you believe,</font><font color="white"></font>

356
00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:15,537
putting her lack of bravery aside,

357
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:20,917
your widow would summon the courage
to withstand the eyes and ears of Bukchon?

358
00:24:23,753 --> 00:24:26,506
If one falls into love
<font color="white">and loves with all their might…</font><font color="white"></font></font>

359
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:32,012
one knows these obstacles
pose nothing to fear.

360
00:24:33,138 --> 00:24:34,806
I feel assured, dear cousin,

361
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:37,601
you have known that feeling before.

362
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:43,565
I…

363
00:24:45,609 --> 00:24:47,235
<font color="white">know that I can fill this role.</font><font color="white"></font>

364
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,778
And for you, cousin,

365
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:52,657
become for her whatever it is you specify.

366
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:56,786
That said,

367
00:24:57,704 --> 00:25:01,666
the ghost,
would he be Geum-ho by name then?

<font color="white">I had gone to Andong</font><font color="white">
to study among Confucian scholars.

I trust all is well here?

379
00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:52,717
Mmm.

380
00:25:57,389 --> 00:26:00,308
I am the youngest son
of the Left State Councilor,

381
00:26:00,976 --> 00:26:02,310
Kwon In-ho, your grace.

Oh.

385
00:26:08,441 --> 00:26:12,946
You're the Cho Won renowned for
his writing during the initial examination

<font color="white">about the southern sacred herb, no?</font><font color="white"></font>

387
00:26:16,032 --> 00:26:17,367
Are you the same Cho Won?

388
00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:19,828
I am honored and humbled
to hear I am renowned.

389
00:26:19,911 --> 00:26:24,291
I have to thank one good friend
<font color="white">of remarkable prowess for literature.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

391
00:26:26,376 --> 00:26:27,585
My fellow scholars and I

392
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:31,214
have pondered over ways we should
learn further of your work's complexities.

393
00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:34,175
<font color="white">Past examinations are available</font><font color="white">
to review in the study annex.

394
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:37,053
Why don't you two scholars go

395
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:40,682
and have a nice quiet read
and perhaps discussion follows?

396
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,101
[In-ho] Yes.

00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:46,438
<font color="white">Why don't you come with me, dear?</font><font color="white"></font>

398
00:26:46,521 --> 00:26:50,608
We could certainly use
a little ladies' time, wouldn't you agree?

399
00:26:51,234 --> 00:26:52,235
Let me.

400
00:27:01,661 --> 00:27:03,163
[Won] Shall we go, young master?

401
00:27:10,837 --> 00:27:13,298
<font color="white">My mother-in-law asked me to thank you</font><font color="white"></font>

for bringing me
the keepsake of my husband's.

403
00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:19,220
She almost journeyed here for herself,

404
00:27:20,263 --> 00:27:22,724
but I begged Mother
<font color="white">to come instead in her place.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

405
00:27:23,224 --> 00:27:24,976
I wanted to see you again.

406
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,314
Oh, I hope I've not overstepped,
calling on you unannounced.

407
00:27:29,397 --> 00:27:31,941
For your presence, I am so grateful.

408
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:37,072
<font color="white">You see that I myself have been missing</font><font color="white">
those sparkling eyes of yours.

409
00:27:38,865 --> 00:27:41,159
[sighs] That's very kind.

410
00:27:46,581 --> 00:27:47,791
[In-ho] It stayed in place.

411
00:27:47,874 --> 00:27:49,334
Every single title.

412
00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:51,044
Did you visit often?

413
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:54,506
<font color="white">My brother would bring us over here.</font><font color="white"></font>

414
00:27:55,715 --> 00:27:58,301

-Hmm.

415
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:01,971
Oh, I know of you, thanks to my brother.

416
00:28:02,472 --> 00:28:04,599
Thanks to him, wise master.

417
00:28:04,682 --> 00:28:06,101
Ah.

418
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:08,436
<font color="white">Tell me then…</font><font color="white"></font>

419
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,273
That present in your writings
are principles of both schooling

420
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:15,485
and the scale of which
we experience life's joys and sorrows.

421
00:28:15,568 --> 00:28:18,738
<font color="white">Unfortunately, I was not prepared</font><font color="white"></font>

422
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:21,616
to comprehend his meaning
at that young age.

423
00:28:24,411 --> 00:28:26,996
This year,
the lovely peonies bloomed quite nicely.

424
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:30,750
Yes, you have quite a lovely garden.

425
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:32,794
<font color="white">This peony reminds me of</font><font color="white"></font>

426
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:35,463
my husband's concubine.

427
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:39,551
[So-ok] Mal-ttong,
there's a pretty flower over here.

428
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,511
She is ever so lovely.

429
00:28:41,594 --> 00:28:43,221
-[So-ok grunts]
<font color="white">-[Mal-ttong] Be careful!</font><font color="white"></font></font>

430
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:45,014
[Yun] And much like a peony,

431
00:28:45,515 --> 00:28:49,894
she dons a pink smile on her soft lips
and dances throughout the house,

432
00:28:49,978 --> 00:28:52,397
her floral perfume wafting behind her.

433
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:55,483
<font color="white">[sighs]</font><font color="white"></font>

434
00:28:58,778 --> 00:29:01,239
What were you like at that age, my lady?

435
00:29:01,322 --> 00:29:03,992
I'm sure you were
as lovely as you are today.

436
00:29:11,207 --> 00:29:13,585
Younger me believed
that joy would only come to me

437
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,920
<font color="white">when I find a husband to marry and serve.</font><font color="white"></font>

438
00:29:19,466 --> 00:29:21,509
Once the marriage was decided,

439
00:29:22,385 --> 00:29:25,847
I was no longer a child
and that feeling awakened my heart.

440
00:29:28,308 --> 00:29:29,350
Mmm.

441
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,103
[Won] You asked me earlier

442
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,857
<font color="white">why I gave my answer</font><font color="white">
during the palace examination.

443
00:29:36,858 --> 00:29:40,612
Well, your brother
happened onto something.

444
00:29:42,864 --> 00:29:44,324
At the time, I…

445
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:48,578
had countless matters
<font color="white">that were plaguing me</font><font color="white"></font></font>

446
00:29:48,661 --> 00:29:50,830
far more than one my age could bear.

447
00:29:50,914 --> 00:29:53,291
There was once a man I loved
with all my heart.

448
00:29:55,043 --> 00:29:58,254
Had we been foolish enough to act,
<font color="white">we surely would've been killed.</font><font color="white"></font></font>

449
00:29:58,338 --> 00:30:00,507
Drifting from joy mixed with anger.

450
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:04,177
From sorrow to pleasure.

451
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:08,264
And so the content
of that heightened emotional era

452
00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:09,682
<font color="white">was poured into my answer.</font><font color="white"></font>

453
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:11,851
And yet, when I find I am weary,

454
00:30:13,102 --> 00:30:15,271
I think of the connection we once shared.

455
00:30:15,855 --> 00:30:17,232
It feels as though

456

00:43:58,344 --> 00:44:00,179
No, I think that I grew.

610
00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:02,514
And these measurements were taken when…

611
00:44:03,682 --> 00:44:04,892
Would you tell me…

612
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,649
<font color="white">just why I noticed you filled</font><font color="white">
with so much grief on the river's shore?

613
00:44:13,734 --> 00:44:15,569
That's a strange thing to think.

614
00:44:20,574 --> 00:44:22,409
The tears on your face
sparkled in the sun.

615
00:44:23,035 --> 00:44:24,536
They were still wet.

616
00:44:26,538 --> 00:44:27,998
<font color="white">The one I loved dearly,</font><font color="white"></font>

617
00:44:29,375 --> 00:44:30,668
now has gone away.

618
00:44:30,751 --> 00:44:32,503
[gasps] Oh.

619
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:35,047
Oh, now.

620
00:44:35,130 --> 00:44:38,676
No use for this sobbing, my lord.

621
00:44:40,386 --> 00:44:41,470
Do you still see…

622
00:44:43,972 --> 00:44:45,849
<font color="white">tear marks on my cheeks and face?</font><font color="white"></font>

623
00:44:46,809 --> 00:44:47,893
Mm-hmm.

624
00:44:48,727 --> 00:44:50,145
[customer] Missus!

625
00:44:54,316 --> 00:44:55,651
Missus.

626
00:44:56,652 --> 00:44:57,736
Hand me the mirror.

627
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,655
Did you finish all the clothes?

628
00:45:00,739 --> 00:45:02,741
<font color="white">Oh! [giggles]</font><font color="white"></font>

629
00:45:05,577 --> 00:45:07,579
[giggling]

630
00:45:11,667 --> 00:45:14,336
Do you have any tobacco to share, madam?

631
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,255
The temper you're showing.

632
00:45:16,839 --> 00:45:18,132
[clicks tongue, huffs]

633
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:22,302

<font color="white">[hums]</font><font color="white"></font>

635
00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:02,593
[Won] Dear cousin.

636
00:46:07,806 --> 00:46:09,183
[gasps]

637
00:46:10,809 --> 00:46:13,645
Huh? Would you look at this lord?

638
00:46:13,729 --> 00:46:15,481
[giggles] That tickles!

639
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,281
You.

640
00:46:25,491 --> 00:46:26,617
How are you…

641
00:46:28,660 --> 00:46:29,953
<font color="white">beyond gorgeous?</font><font color="white"></font>

[breathes shakily]

644
00:47:16,375 --> 00:47:17,543
[Won grunts]

645
00:47:21,463 --> 00:47:23,465
[giggling]

646
00:47:28,053 --> 00:47:31,557
-[Won grunting]
-Oh, wait. Wait, sir.

<font color="white">Oh, why are you in such a hurry?</font><font color="white"></font>
