It is a sweltering day.

I am already quite wet.

[painter] I am capturing it
in lines as soft

00:01:58,868 --> 00:02:01,371
as the supple flesh of a boiled egg.

[painter] What kind of man is he?

23
00:02:08,878 --> 00:02:11,714
[Bun-hui] He was a man
who was blessed below the waist.

00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,758
As you know, mistress painter,

<font color="white">such a thing cannot be acquired</font><font color="white">

One is born with it,
as with any other thing.

00:02:20,181 --> 00:02:22,851
He was greatly blessed indeed.

Such as his tongue.

31
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:36,364
The tip was smooth as if wrapped in silk.

32
00:02:36,447 --> 00:02:38,867
His hands were so strong.

33
00:02:40,201 --> 00:02:43,163
The mere thought of it

You must ensure to capture my expression.

37

Leave aside these trifling worries.

If he is truly bestowed
with such blessings,

He did me a dishonor,
and I intend to do him the same.

51
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:33,171
He meddled with my one and only daughter.

What a wretched scoundrel.

he gets a stern lesson indeed.

You must be hurt.

Since that day,

58
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:03,076
I cannot say that I was not hurt.

59
00:04:05,119 --> 00:04:08,289
Just know that deceiving you
was not my intention.

60
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:12,543
But I found myself
growing fond of you, and…

<font color="white">[sighs]</font><font color="white"></font>

62

I have thought on it a great deal.

63
00:04:22,136 --> 00:04:24,555
It is a fact that you have told me lies,

64
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:27,183
which means I have been betrayed.

65
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:30,478
Thus, I cannot simply forgive you at once.

I cannot commit an unfilial act.

I am lacking.

77

But she believes I can excel,

78
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,107
so I cannot forsake my mother.

00:13:45,282 --> 00:13:47,952
This is not to say
I disregard your talents.

160

<font color="white">It's just…</font><font color="white"></font>

161
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:51,705
Uh… I'll say what I mean.

162
00:13:51,789 --> 00:13:55,543
It is common knowledge that
you are mainly an author of vulgar prose.

163
00:13:55,626 --> 00:13:58,128
Yet, despite incurring
His Majesty's wrath,

164
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:02,800
<font color="white">how is it you are summoned</font><font color="white">
to the palace so often, hmm?

166
00:14:08,722 --> 00:14:11,475
How did you manage
to secure a place by his side?

167
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,228
<font color="white">I have secured nothing for myself.</font><font color="white"></font>

168
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,399
My place by His Majesty's side

169
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:21,026
is a punishment without end.

170

-[snoring]

171
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:24,006
Hmm?

<font color="white">[gasps]</font><font color="white"></font>

173
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:32,097
Oh.

00:15:32,181 --> 00:15:34,141
[groaning]

175
00:15:35,726 --> 00:15:36,727
Goodness.

176
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:24,400

00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:37,454
[gasps]

178
00:16:40,749 --> 00:16:42,251
You have come back.

00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:01,937
<font color="white">Has all gone well with your affairs?</font><font color="white"></font>

180
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:09,361
Sorry I'm late.

181
00:17:11,572 --> 00:17:13,323
I meant to stay awake.

182
00:17:13,824 --> 00:17:15,075
I apologize.

183
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,913
I'm sure you were very tired.

184
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:22,708
I could hear you snore.

185
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:28,881
<font color="white">What do you mean you heard me snore?</font><font color="white"></font>

186
00:17:28,964 --> 00:17:31,050
[chuckles]

187
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:32,718
That is impossible.

188
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:35,137
There's no shame in it.

189
00:17:38,515 --> 00:17:42,061
Even if thunder
were to roar from your nose…

190
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:45,189
<font color="white">[chuckles]</font><font color="white"></font>

191
00:17:46,648 --> 00:17:50,027
…in my eyes, even Yang Guifei or Xi Shi

192
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:52,529
would pale in comparison

193
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:55,324
to one as lovely as you.

194
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:58,077
There's no need for such jokes.

195
00:17:58,577 --> 00:18:01,789
<font color="white">I speak not in jest, but in earnest.</font><font color="white"></font>

00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:07,169
[sighs]

197
00:18:20,849 --> 00:18:22,309
Sleep well, my lady.

198
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:29,024
I shall retire to the outer quarters.

199
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:11,108

00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:22,327

<font color="white">Hardly a face for a lady.</font><font color="white"></font>

-[So-ok] Oh.
-[sighs, clicking tongue]

203
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:37,759
I'm sorry, my lady,

204
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:39,803
but can you write it in the proper script?

205
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:42,973
Why are you writing in the vernacular?

206
00:19:43,056 --> 00:19:45,517
<font color="white">I am feigning ignorance,</font><font color="white"></font>

207
00:19:46,059 --> 00:19:47,811
lest knowing too well bring trouble.

208
00:19:47,895 --> 00:19:51,398
Can knowing really bring so much trouble?

209
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:56,528
This petition is to be submitted
to His Majesty.

210

<font color="white">I have written it as I ought.</font><font color="white"></font>

To His Majesty?

212
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:03,827
The lady of the Left State Councilor's
household has asked me for a favor,

213
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:06,371
so I have made a royal petition.

214
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:09,166
<font color="white">[gasps] Most admirable.</font><font color="white"></font>

215
00:20:09,249 --> 00:20:12,878
You truly are the most remarkable woman
in all of Joseon.

216
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:15,964
That's enough flattery.

217

[Yun] <i>Indeed, as a woman myself,</i>

231
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,860
Did you compel her to do it?

232
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:19,945
Compel it?

233
00:21:20,570 --> 00:21:22,322
[sighs] What… Whatever do you mean?

234
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:26,118
That woman has asked the king to give
<font color="white">our daughter-in-law royal recognition!</font><font color="white"></font></font>

235
00:21:26,201 --> 00:21:27,369
Ah…

236
00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:33,000
Can there be any doubt the poor girl
was a virtuous woman?

237
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,876
All of Hanyang knows it.

238
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,255
If I thought there was anything
<font color="white">I could do to help, even a little,</font><font color="white"></font></font>

240
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:49,433
I did not seek to benefit myself.

241
00:21:50,017 --> 00:21:51,935
I did it for our household.

242
00:21:53,353 --> 00:21:55,147
After we lost Geum-ho,

243
00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:57,524
<font color="white">what's left in this house</font><font color="white"></font>

244
00:21:58,608 --> 00:22:00,902

My lady!

246
00:22:03,363 --> 00:22:06,325
With Geum-ho,
this house lost more than a son.

247
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:08,702
It lost its pillar.

<font color="white">Its foundation.</font><font color="white"></font>

If you will not take action,
my lord, I will.

250
00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:18,670
What other way is there
of easing Geum-ho's grievance?

251
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:20,672
That grievance is your own.

Restrain yourself.

255

Our Geum-ho…

256
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,982

…and cries his poor heart out.

259
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:48,617
He does not speak a word.

260
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:51,703
He just sits there and cries.

261
00:22:55,415 --> 00:22:57,501
[sighs] At the very least,

262
00:22:58,085 --> 00:23:00,545
<font color="white">we can build her a Memorial Gate.</font><font color="white"></font>

263
00:23:01,963 --> 00:23:04,549
That is the one thing I can do for him.

264
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:07,636
The only way to help my son.

265
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:10,013

Has something happened?

You're holding something. What is it?

272
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:54,391

So you did not know
that my daughter-in-law

280
00:24:29,718 --> 00:24:31,219
was a follower of the Catholics?

281
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:34,014
No, madam! I knew nothing about it!

282
00:24:34,556 --> 00:24:35,682
Well, Ganghwa.

<font color="white">Yes, madam.</font><font color="white"></font>

Yes, madam.

[sighs] Then…

289
00:24:55,869 --> 00:24:57,662
I will change the question.

290
00:24:58,246 --> 00:25:00,790
What did you take
from my daughter-in-law's room?

291
00:25:01,416 --> 00:25:02,417
What?

the letters he sent…

302
00:25:32,906 --> 00:25:35,450
