Episode 5

What happened?

I searched thoroughly throughout the lake that the princess fell into.

She was not there.

I understand. You may take your leave.

The body of the princess, filled with a curse,

will not die easily.

But... Why?

In the end, the black magic you are using will cut your own life strings.

Boo!

Royal Mother.

Boo.

Boo, are you able to recognize your mother?

Mother,

I am hungry.

Is there anyone outside?

Set the table out for the Crown Prince this instant. Hurry!

Have you come to your senses?

Mother.

Are you alright?

It's a relief,

such a relief.

So fortunate!

- This bastard! We just... - Hey! Hey!

I said not to hit where it would be visible.

- Alright. Dong Rae. - Yes, yes!

- Yes - Since yesterday I knew that the movements of that bastard Jun and his wench of a mother were suspicious.

And when I went to see, that bitch and that bastard weren't there.

It seems they're setting up some kind of stupid plan? Am I right?

I d-don't know.

I-I don't really don't know.

Don't know?

Then if help is given to a runaway slave

or hidden away, you wouldn't happen to know what happens do you?

Yeah?

I really don't have a clue.

You don't know?

I don't know anything.

- Oh you don't? - I don't know anything, really.

Then, you don't know your mom is also a slave, do you?

T-that... That...

- Do you know it? - Yes. I know it.

Then you sympathize with him because you are in the same situation, don't you? Huh?

Hey, Dong Rae. Hurry and tell me while I'm still being nice.

Don't you think it would be unfair if you experience hardships because of him don't you think?

Right? I said don't you think so.

Have I been talking so nicely like a scholar (gentleman) all this time?

Hey, give me something.

I was wrong.

- What? - Please spare me.

I won't kill you. I may look like this, but I'm a warmhearted person.

I won't kill you. Don't worry.

Instead... How about you let me chop off an ear.

You won't have difficulty in living. You'll be able to hear everything.

Tense up your ears so I can chop it off nicely.

Hey, Chang Man. Hold him.

Dat Se, hold his hands down. Hold everything down.

Hold him.

Hold him tightly.

- Sir! - Chop it.

One, two...

Wait a second! Wait!

Why? Are you going to tell me?

Mother!

Here, here! It's time so everyone come out.

Hurry and get up.

Take your boat tickets out.

Move out quickly!

Make sure to check it.

Take out your boat tickets in advance.

Boat ticket!

Make sure to check it.

Ahjumma. Go out.

Mother!

What are you doing here?

Y-Y-Young Master.

What are you doing here without the owner's permission?

Did you pack your things, planning to run away somewhere together?

Of course. Your son's so smart

that he wouldn't do a petty thing like running away, when it's obvious you'll die if you get caught.

- About that... I mean... - So what are you doing here?

Young Master.

I asked you what you're doing here.

I did it by myself. Jun doesn't know anything.

Please forgive me. It has nothing to do with Jun.

That's why you shouldn't look after an animal that thinks and speaks.

I fed you and yet you bite your owner's hand?

Stop that.

I will... Listen.

Rip yours and your son's limbs off.

You know what happens to runaway slaves, right?

- Come here. - Young Master.

- Come here! - Our Jun really doesn't know anything!

- Young Master, it's true. - Come here. Shut up!

Shut your mouth!

A slave is not a human,

but just an animal, huh?

- Come here! - Young Master. He really doesn't know anything!

He doesn't know what?

Please, I'm begging you for mercy.

Forgive me.

What is this. What are we going to do?

No!

- Young Master. - Let me go!

Come here! Lie down!

- Young Master! Please! - Let go of me!

Hey! You won't let me go?

- No, Young Master... - Die!

No!

Mother!

Mother.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Wake up, please! Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

Jun.

I'm sorry

that you were born to a mother like me.

If you

had been born to a different kind of mother...

Don't say things like that, Mother.

I only need you, Mother.

I don't need anything else.

It must have hurt a lot...

I'm sorry.

I am... really... sorry.

Mother.

Mother, look at me.

Look at me. I was wrong.

Mother!

Mother!

What should I do?

Ok!

What is the matter?

Oh my...

M-Mother, what am I supposed to do now?

What do you mean?

- What I'm saying is Jun's mother... - There's nothing to worry about.

No need to worry! Unless you did something wrong, what are you afraid of?

Servants are supposed to desert their lives for the masters.

Of course, you have been the one to survive in that situation.

Then were you supposed to give away your life to save such a mere slave?

- Mother— - Furthermore,

she is a runaway slave who tried to run away with her son.

How earnestly I requested of them to just live as if they were dead.

In the end, they brought this misfortune upon themselves.

Don't be bothered.

Pull your shoulders straight. Hold up your head confidently.

You are an eldest son of the first lineage of the Heo clan, who'll enter the high position of the government service in the future.

Just think you had a dirty-feeling, ill-fated dream.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

You have worked very hard.

I was worried because the Crown Prince had not improved.

As expected, you are commendable.

Taking this opportunity, I'll add more support for the Palace Shaman Council.

I'll trust only you.

Slow down. Eat slowly.

How about you? Are you alright?

For you to worry about my well-being, your grace is overflowing, Your Highness.

If nothing happened to you, that means the child has definitely died, right?

Are you worried about that?

If Her Highness the Princess were alive, I couldn't be completely sound like this.

Then, what is the reason the Crown Prince became like that all of a sudden?

By any chance, is it because of your black sorcery?

There's no way that would be so.

The curse of black sorcery had already vanished with the death of Her Highness the Princess.

It's probably because the Crown Prince's mind and body got weak that an ill spirit got into him.

For that ill spirit to have happened to come into the Crown Prince on his 17th birthday?

If His Highness the Crown Prince had come into his state due to the black sorcery,

what would you do, Your Highness?

- What? - So, believe it's not.

- You, wench! - The Crown Prince is not your child only.

I made him by risking my own life.

What are you saying right now?

That's why I'm saying I'll protect you until the end.

You wench, what are you going to do with the Crown Prince?

I'm telling you to put your mind at ease.

What do you mean that Hong Joo was not there?

I couldn't see anyone in the shaman quarters.

Even all of her attending shamans disappeared.

What did you say?

- Your Highness the Queen. - What's the matter?

That... The Crown Prince... The Crown Prince has...

Your Highness the Crown Prince!

Your Highness the Crown Prince!

Boo.

Come to your senses.

I said come to your senses.

Your mother is here.

Boo.

Boo! What happened to you?

Summon Hong Joo! Bring Hong Joo here immediately!

Your Highness, it's just that, Hong Joo has disappeared.

What? What are you talking about?

What'll happen to my Crown Prince, then?

Our Crown Prince.

No! This can't be! Crown Prince, please open your eyes!

No! This can't be happening! Please open your eyes!

Your Highness! Queen Dowager!

Your Highness!

The Crown Prince passed away!

The Crown Prince passed away!

To the spirit of the Crown Prince of the Joseon Nation!

Please come back!

The Crown Prince passed away!

The Crown Prince passed away!

The Crown Prince passed away!

Her Highness the Queen, if you want to abandon me like this, I can't help it either.

It's a fact sharp objects like sword points originally give more pain when being taken out than when entering.

May you be well until I see you again.

The Crown Prince passed away!

Mother!

Do you know what day it is today?

- Hey, Chang Man! Why don't you know? - What is it?

- Today is... - Yeah?

The day of Ok being born.

I... was born...

Drink!

- Fall into the intoxication of liquor! - Fall in!

Mi Hyang falls for me!

Who is this? Hey where are you going?

Here. Take it and drink it.

Hey! Today is this big brother's birthday! Then let's drink and eat!

We have to enjoy ourselves! Right?

Aigoo. Today is the day of mourning for your mother, right?

Jun. But, what can be done? I can't mourn with you for three years.

I don't know if she is a precious mother to you, but

she's one of these many slaves just walking around to me.

Why?

It looks like you're about to hit me.

But what are you going to do? Your mom, who begged me for you with her hands and feet, has died now.

Do you think you can handle it? Huh?

Please! Save me!

Please Young Master!

Hey!

- What? - No.

Happy Birthday.

Please live a happy and healthy life for a long time.

Okay. I will. Thanks.

♪ After drinking

Young Master.

This. You dropped it.

Why is this here? Huh?

I thought I lost it.

Thanks.

♪ Sway to the right!

Let's eat to the death today!

♪ Drink until drunk.

Five Years Later

In the deep dark forest,

at the place that is difficult for humans to find,

there's a woman that is hiding herself.

She has pale skin, lips that look like she drank blood,

and eyes full of sadness.

She can move things without even touching them.

A woman who took the life out of all things.

People label her with a word starting with W for Wizardry and call her Witch.

And also, that woman, when it's the night of a full moon,

she turns into a monster and digs out people's hearts...

Aish! You scared me!

Please stop! It's scary!

What do you mean stop? I'm just starting!

That woman... looks very pretty.

Aigoo. That story of the ghost that eats hearts

never changes over time. It's tiresome.

Is that person the Red Rope that people talk about these days?

Oh, oh. Right. Red Rope!

Wearing the red rope and killing the people.

Nobody has seen her properly because she is so swift of appearing and vanishing in the air.

By the way, if you're mentioning a red rope, then it is a man not a woman.

Oh! Then is it wizard, not witch?

Well, can only men wear the ropes?

Even the wenches can wear them like this if they want to.

That's right! Of course!

Well, well, well.

Let's continue the game instead of talking about nonsense.

Of course! Of course! We forgot about the game.

I'm not full of greed.

What, what, it's not like your life is going to change by doing this.

Aigoo. What would change?

- Sir, you didn't forget your promise, did you? - Of course. The promise...

Aigoo.

Here! Let's go straight!

Aigoo!

Me, I don't like losing.

We have to enjoy ourselves!

I have a Gabo combination!

I have a zero combination!

Wait! Wait!

What happens if I put this down?

- What is this? -There's no way this could've happened!

Why? Did I win something that I'm not allowed to win?

I have seen something like this around.

Going around the whole nation, opening the illegal gambles, forming the signals, and taking the betting money.

You are too shabby comparing to the exuberant rumors. It's disappointing.

Who are you?

Ah! Catch them!

What are you doing? Go catch them!

- Aigoo! - Follow us quickly.

It's you again!

Thanks to you, I'm feeling so good because you're catching all those troubled guys.

Oh, no don't mention it. I was just doing something that I'm supposed to do as a policeman.

If we catch that crazy murderer called the Red Rope or something,

it seems we won't have any worry more.

Anyways, you worked hard today.

There seems to be the position movements soon. So look forward to it.

Aigoo Jun! You worked hard!

Here! Take it!

Aigoo young master. What do you mean I worked hard?

Honestly, I'm so thankful for feeding me and taking care of me, so this is the least I can do.

You should, I'm not doing this for myself.

I have to success so you can have some place to lean on in the future, right?

This brother is, you know?

I'm so glad that you came to realization about the reality this soon.

If you don't know your place in vain and

if you are easily tempt to have a useless dream like a government position or something,

what a wasting time isn't it? Huh?

Instead of doing that, like this,

using your body, you help each other. How good it is, right?

You are right.

I'll let you know later if something else comes up so just go and take a rest.

What is that?

Hurry up and give it to me!

- Me too. - Wait a minute. - Just one time.

Is this really... to make the men great?

That's right. Of course.

If we have only this one in the bed, we can see the paradise, you're saying?

Hmm... Probably, the man's glance that looks at you will change.

Then, you show it to me first.

What do you mean by saying that?

The efficacy of this medicine.

If I see it with my own eyes, wouldn't I buy ten bottles of this?

For me,

without that, as much as you want,

I can send you to the paradise.

What should I do?

Can you handle it?

Ah! This is no fun.

This is no fun.

Seo Ri.

Seo Ri?

Seo Ri.

What are you doing?

Why do you show up this late?

Can't you see this?

Did you only get the candle?

Of course.

I heard that there was a weird rumor about you going around.

But when I went around to know more about the rumor,

I played just one round.

People keep saying a lot that you are a witch.

You should listen to the story about the world.

You could see If there is any chance that there is something that could help you.

I'm igniting the candle by carrying another's earnest mind.

For these past five years, I've lit 100 candles.

Now there's 8 left.

I will light all the candle to dispel the curse.

Because of me, nobody else must die ever again!

Please...

Please don't let this candle out.

Have you found the Princess?

It's been already 6 months.

I couldn't light any candle.

How have I come to this far?

Hold here like this.

Hang in there.

Is it true what that lady said?

The words that the people whom I love and

the people who love me will die.

Is it really true?

So that's why...

My brother became like that?

However, if you dispel the curse, you can go back.

Bury the self you were until now, and get determined to dispel the curse.

From today onwards, you are not Yeon Hee anymore. Your new name will be Seo Ri.

Also, dispel the curse by lighting these 108 candles and

then let's find your name again.

Seo Ri.

Bring the wishing tag. I'll ignite the candle.

What's the matter?

It's nothing. All right.

It needs to be a desperate wish, that way I can light it.

All right.

Aigoo, aigoo, what is that?

Tell the kids not to go out late at night.

The Red Rope must have done it.

That's right. Looking he has the medicine bottle in his hand, that means the killer planned to kill him.

After he kills a person, he hangs them on a place where you can see easily like that.

Is he bragging about it or something? He is really an evil.

What is so pretty that you watch it for a long? Let's go.

My lord, are you alright?

I lost him again?

How can we, how are we not able to catch that mere murderer?

So that we make the nation this noisy?

- Please kill me, Your Majesty. - Please kill us, Your Majesty.

Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!

If you have strength to talk like this, King Seonjo

hurry up and bring that Red Rope in front of me right now!

That murderer who is mocking the whole capital.

No matter what, you need to catch him.

No matter what.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Did you feel disappointed?

Your Majesty, what are you saying? It's not at all.

Poong Yeon. Since I cherish you, I treated you more harshly like that.

Your thoughts are enough for me.

Tell me in details.

His height seems to be less than six feet. And looking at his swordsmanship going without a hitch,

his martial skill is not ordinary.

How can that kind of guy...

It is my fault.

No, it's not.

They said he swiftly appears and disappears everywhere so nobody has ever seen him.

You said you even gave the Red Rope a pierced wound.

Next time, you will be able to slush his neck.

No matter what, I will catch that guy

I will lift Your Majesty's worries.

Poong Yeon.

You are the only one that I trust in this capital.

So please, be careful so that you don't get hurt.

I will follow your order.

How about your father's news?

You still don't know anything?

No.

Understand my willingness to rehabilitate Taoist temple as soon as possible.

I apologize but my father is certainly still alive somewhere.

Father is there, so how dare can I succeed to him?

All right.

I understand.

- No, I told you I'm right! - She is a girl!

- What? Can't you tell?- Check it out!

You go and check!

Look at her, it's a girl!

Ahh, he's a guy, a pretty looking one!

- Are you going to bet? - Yeah yeah, let's see.

Ahh..

What's the matter?

It is nothing.

Let's get going then.

The thing that you asked me to find out about,

They are not His Excellency Choi Hyun Soe and your sister.

However, have you found that Shamaness yet?

I went to the place where she went after she got chased out of the palace, but she wasn't there.

All right. You've worked hard.

5 years already passed..

We have found... not a little trace of them.

How about searching through the castle walls piled up of dead bodies?

Father and Yeon Hee are not dead.

I apologize.

I just thought...

Never mind.

I put you in vain...

What is the cause of the illness,

were you not able to find out?

I apologize.

Even with that you

are called a doctor?

Without wasting a day, hurry to find out about the cause of this illness.

But,

no one should know about my illness

Do you understand?

I understand.

Take it out again.

Your Majesty.

Queen Mother is here.

I heard there's a horrible dead body again.

I wonder why those omnius things keep happening in the capital city.

Did you come this late

to talk about that?

Your Highness must feel uncomfortable with me.

How can I feel comfortable?

Queen Mother is the highest person in this Palace.

Yes.

I am the eldest one here so I have to take care of you.

Perhaps are you feeling unwell?

I'm grateful that you are worried about me.

Don't think me as a dead Crown Prince.

I'm definitely healthy so don't worry much about me.

Your Majesty.

Your body is equal to the Rise and Fall of Choseon.

If you have anything wrong with your body even a little bit,

there must be a disruptions of the state service so why don't I worry about it?

Yes.

Please don't worry.

I won't ask Your Highness

to take over the state affair instead.

It's late,

you should go and sleep.

Me too,

I hope that what I'm worried about doesn't happen.

Have a good night.

I heard that the royal physician went to His Majesty's chamber late at night a few times.

He didn't say any unusual things at all.

However, early in the morning, a chamber maid secretly enters the King's place and

collects King's gold bedding.

Gold bedding?

I'm very sorry to say but,

The signs of bloody pus are occasionally noticed on the King's bedding.

Can it be

that the curse didn't end yet?

What has become of the thing that I asked for?

I apologize.

I got the slave hunters to search up everywhere

We can't find that shamaness' whereabouts at all.

You let out 10 or 100 slave hunters more if needed,

You must find out where she is.

You must!

Yes, Your Highness the Queen Mother.

Mother!

This.

Oh, why is that here? Huh?

I thought I lost this. Thanks.

Mother,

it's almost done now.

Wait a little bit more.

I will make them fall

and get the price of your death.

I will definitely do that.

All the people you love will die.

The people that loves you will also die.

Go away, go away, you monster!

Father.

I now only need to light 8 more candles.

I will definitely dispel the curse

and protect the people I love.

The reason why I was born with this curse,

I will find out about it by all means.

Mirror of the Witch ~ Preview ~

I only have 49 days left.

I should try going to the 100 years old tree.

Make sure you get the corroborative evidence..

I know who that scholar is.

I can make you meet Sir Choi Hyun Seo.

However, I have a favor to ask.

For me to make my wish come true, is there something that I must do?

Why on earth?

Why are you killing people that are related to the 100 years old tree?

When the 6 months passed, I couldn't even light one candle.

You finally showed yourself, Princess...

It must be you.

I order you to get arrested for murder!

By all means, I will dispel the curse.

It's not me!
