The final episode.

Stop! Don't shoot!

Giroo!

Doctor.

Thank you,

for staying alive.

Giroo! Giroo!

Giroo!

If I had killed you...

I would've...

Doctor.

Princess!

I'm sorry that you have to watch the poor death

of a Hwarang...

But please...

believe me.

I thought

that by acting in such a way,

by standing as a dignified Hwarang in front of you,

that such an act would show you how much I loved you.

I thought that by hiding my love for you,

and keeping my promise with the king

was the way to love you.

But that...

that was the biggest mistake I had made...

I didn't know that it was.

But, but there was

love.

I loved you, princess...

I have always love you.

It was there.

Though now,

I hardly remember it.

But I had it, too.

No one knew, and no one approved,

but I had loved one person in this world.

I wish you happiness in a world without me.

Be happy

as if nothing had ever happened.

Giroo! Giroo!

Clouds float over the mountains and rain falls,

mountains hold the clouds and the sun rises.

It's raining, doctor! You should go inside.

Live Giroo, in a place where flower rains...

I heard that she's really beautiful.

- Like an angel. - Excuse me.

Excuse me!

- We need lotion! - I have it here!

- And the makeup? - It's ready.

All right.

It's time to put on your makeup.

Don't be so nervous! Breathe deeply, like me!

Stand back!

Why hasn't the fan arrived yet?

There it is.

Are you nervous?

Why are you so nervous?

It's time, your majesty!

Let's go.

Everyone is watching. Please look front.

The husband should stand east, and the wife should stand west.

Wash your hands, and wipe them with a cloth.

Let your gourds be filled.

Exchange your gourds.

Drink them.

Bow to the great queen who is the elder in the palace of Beakjae,

and to the Buddhist priest of Silla, Boryang.

Now I declare the royal king of great Baekjae

and princess Sunhwa of Silla,

as husband and wife.

Hooray!

Hooray!

Hooray!

This is the most exciting day of my life!

Dad! I want a wedding, too!

- You want a what? - Chogi and me.

After watching the king get married, I want to get married, too!

You want to what? What? First wait until I get married.

Really!

Anyway I wonder if our majesty knows the principles of men and women.

I should have taught him before he went with the queen.

I just completely forgot!

Don't worry. Even a fool like me can do it without any problems!

- Do you think so? - I'm sure he's doing just fine.

If we were at an inn, we could just poke our finger through the door

and peek in, but we can't do that to the king's room!

- Is the hair prepared? - Yes.

- And the perfume? - It's ready.

- Food? - It's there.

- Water for washing feet? - It's ready.

All right.

Everything seems to be ready.

All right.

Everyone stand back for five steps.

Your majesty! It is time to begin the ceremony of your wedding night.

Please follow the orders that we will tell you.

First, tie the pieces of hair, which means a long life together.

Next, take off the queen's socks.

This is a holy ceremony! Why are you laughing?

Then, wash her feet.

A bowl of water is under the bed. Wash her feet with the water.

Put perfume on her feet.

Everyone except the guards should leave now.

Lord! You may take off your clothes now. We will leave you.

Turn the lights out! Turn the lights out first!

You are leaving?

I should.

You have given so much to our king. Thank you.

Please tell him that I truly wish his happiness.

I will.

I am going to Chun An. Come visit me.

I will.

Eunjin! Don't shake your leg. Your luck will be shaken away.

I wonder if the king had a good sleep.

You feel sorry, don't you?

I'm very happy. I really congratulate them.

But, there's a little hole inside me.

I understand you.

I felt just like that, when I sent Ms. Mojin away.

I guess it's only you and me now.

Like a shoe, without its pair.

Why are you leaving me out?

Oh, right. You, too.

Want me to sing?

They're really going to do it? From today?

We doubted it, but it's happening!

I don't know how to read. What does it say?

They're going to free the working slaves

and lend land to poor farmers.

And the private soldiers of the aristocrats will make reservoirs and waterways

to make rice fields. We'll have much more to harvest!

- Is that true? - Of course it's true!

And make sure that the aristocrats don't own too much land,

and labor can't be forced for more than two months.

Make sure that the soldiers who took part in the waterway construction

get a portion of land, and allow them to become commoners.

If anyone ignores this, they will be punished with 3 years in prison.

This is something I must do as the king of Baekjae.

Hear! All aristocrats and officials!

Through these, make sure that the people

live a better life and be free from starvation.

Put in all your efforts!

Yes, your majesty!

What? The priest?

Let him in.

How have you been?

What brings you here? You didn't say you were coming.

The king must have wanted to see you. He sent me instead.

You are very welcome here. How is the royal family in Silla?

Fine, your majesty!

And princess Hoonjung?

There has been an order to make the princess,

a symbol of trust sent by Baekjae, more comfortable.

I am very grateful.

I will tell them.

I was a bit surprised to see you.

Really, is there nothing wrong? My parents are fine?

They are fine.

Actually,

the king asked me to give you a secret message.

- A secret message? - Yes.

Find out Baekjae's army conditions, and Taehaksa's skills.

And with the 50 people you took from Silla,

help them get jobs at the palace of Baekjae.

So that we may use them.

Remember that you are a princess of Silla,

before a queen of Baekjae.

I can't do this.

It's just the way how things go.

In a marriage between two countries, these things are expected.

I won't do it.

If you are coming here to send such messages,

then you shouldn't come here at all.

Queen!

I am a queen of Baekjae, before a princess of Silla

and a wife, before a queen.

How dare you ask me to betray my husband?

Your majesty will not think it so.

Tell him that I have heard nothing, and so will do nothing.

Queen!

What is it?

The army official that came with the priest

asked me to find out about the army, and the royal guards!

- It was an order. - What?

It looks like every Silla man here received the same order.

What? Everyone? A secret order?

Yes.

Your majesty! It is completely unacceptable!

Not only did they provoke war,

they killed princess Hoonjung, the symbol of trust!

They have broken the alliance!

Once again, Silla has betrayed us!

The alliance is broken!

Lord! This can not be forgiven!

We must do something!

Lord! As a countermeasure to the princess's death,

we must punish the queen!

Despose her!

But the queen refused to take any secret orders from Silla,

and sent back all the Silla men, except three.

Must we talk about desposing her?

She has done many things.

She went to the construction fields herself,

and worked well in diplomacy, putting Baekjae in a better position.

She has never done anything to betray Baekjae.

We know, we know it all!

But, they have killed our princess Hoonjung.

We must do something!

If we don't, then other countries, not only Silla,

will look down on us.

This is a question of Baekjae's position,

and we should not just despose her, but kill her as well.

Yes, your majesty! Kill the queen, and protect Baekjae!

- Judge well, your majesty! - Judge well!

Silla's intentions of diplomacy with several countries have been revealed!

- It sure has! - Even if the people

follow the king and queen, they won't this time.

- Yes. - So, now

we might be able to gain power again.

Of course. Think about the 3 years that we lived so hopelessly.

- Our soldiers, our land! - It seems like things will change now.

Yes. We must make sure the queen is put to death!

- Of course. - Of course.

Lord! The great queen is here.

Let her in.

What are you going to do?

We can't stay still while they have killed our princess.

This is like pointing a sword at you, lord.

So do something. Send orders.

Have you forgotten what happened 3 years ago?

All the aristocrats asked me to rebuke you,

and I could have done it easily,

but I said that it was only for the safety of the queen.

But, now I see that

the king of Silla had different intentions from the beginning!

So, kill the queen!

How could they do this?

How could he do this to me?

I can't forgive them! I can't forgive him!

Kill me.

Silla had different intentions from the start,

and it is Silla that betrayed Baekjae.

Don't be distressed. Just kill me.

Then you won't have to go through all that pressure.

Then you will be able to

finish all that you are doing now.

I will accept it.

I can.

That's exactly why I can't forgive him!

Your father! King of Silla. I can't forgive him.

How could he make me kill you with my own hands?

How... how...

Your majesty! Kill the queen!

Kill the queen!

- Judge well - Judge well!

Lord! If you do not kill the queen,

the entire Baekjae could be shaken.

- Judge well! - Judge well!

Kill the queen? Kill her with my own hands?

Your majesty!

Kill the queen!

- Judge well! - Judge well!

Kill the queen? With my own hands?

- Your majesty! Judge well! - Judge well!

- I can't! - Your majesty!

- I can't! - Your majesty!

I can't, and I shouldn't, and I won't!

The queen is mine. She belongs to Baekjae.

And this you know well, too!

But, your majesty!

If anyone talks of killing the queen again,

I will kill him first!

Your majesty! This is between the two countries!

It can not be overlooked.

Listen! I will fight myself!

I will take the army myself,

and fight against Silla,

who betrayed me, the queen, and Baekjae!

I will win the war! And make Silla subjected to Baekjae!

Is everything ready?

Go to battle!

Go forward Don't draw back! Attack!

Move forward!

Attack!

Don't draw back! Attack!

Fight! Fight! Never draw back and attack!

The king has won again at the war with Silla.

I don't see doctor Mok Rasoo.

The doctor went to Sajasa.

- Sajasa? - He had some things to do

at the workhouse in the temple.

Congratulations, my lord!

You must give courage to the soldiers at the battlefield,

for you are always bringing victory.

Will you give the land you won to the people again,

so that they can harvest?

Yes. Discuss about that.

Yes, your majesty.

Your majesty, Baekjae has become powerful

because of your foresight.

Yes, your majesty!

How is the queen's health?

Fine, your majesty!

And no one tried to put pressure on her?

How could they? You fight at war and win.

Who would dare say anything?

But, there has been some movements about the prince.

About the prince? Why?

Some are trying to quarrel about him not being fit

for a crown prince, because the queen is from Silla.

Lord! The prince is here.

Let him in.

My lord! Mother is waiting for you.

Please go see her.

All right.

Do I look pale? Do I look okay?

You look fine. Don't worry.

Your face looks pretty today. The makeup went well.

You still look like the pretty little seven year old that I first saw.

Stop joking.

Your majesty is here.

Queen! Queen!

What are you doing? Bring in the doctor! Quick!

Yes.

Are you all right? Open your eyes!

I fooled you, didn't I?

I was so bored, without playing jokes.

My dear! You are now a queen,

and you are still playing such jokes!

Your majesty! I only...

I came here without stopping once, because I wanted to see you so badly.

I wanted to hear you say that.

Anyway, how can you

still play a joke like that? Pretending to be sick?

All right. Stop scolding.

But how can you be fooled so easily?

You should be used to it by now.

I told you not to play such jokes.

Your majesty! The doctor is here.

You came for nothing. You should just go.

Are you really all right?

You know that I am. You may leave.

Yes.

Are you really all right?

No, I'm not.

You've kept my freedom inside this palace. How can I be all right?

I'm sorry.

I want to go to Sajasa with you, my lord.

Just for a few days.

Sajasa?

Yes. I have asked a favor to doctor Mok Rasoo,

and I want to visit your home that we went together.

Even one day would be fine. I really want to go with you.

Please, lord!

My lord!

All right. We shall go.

Are you really all right?

I have a favor to ask.

A favor?

The king must not know of my illness.

Queen! But it's getting worse,

and no one knows what will happen when.

Your majesty must know.

Did you not say it was bad enough already?

So the king must know.

No, I don't want him to! He is tired and distressed enough...

I don't want him to worry more because of me.

- Queen! - So

I expect all of you to follow my wishes.

Why are you doing this? Please don't get weak.

Yes, you'll get better.

I'm trying to be strong, not weak.

So you must never speak of it. Do you understand?

- Yes. - Yes.

- You, too! - Yes.

And don't look at me that way.

Queen! Queen!

My lord!

Official Bumro has arrived from

the waterway construction at Achak.

- Has he? - Shall I bring him?

Yes, do that.

And bring his wife Chogi with him.

Yes.

Although I lost an eye at the war,

your grandfather thinks the study of nature

as my life, existence, truth, and...

But I heard that you were an engineer all your life!

What?

An engineer who loved to play?

Who says such things about your grandfather?

Mother.

That's because your mother doesn't know anything about studying.

Then?

Studying nature achieves...

great works when

eat and play and rest like me.

Really?

You children have seen the roof tiles on the palace, right?

- Yes! - Well, how was it?

- It's pretty. - That's it!

Those tiles were put there by your grandfather.

Some tiles smile, some play,

some rest, and some are drunk.

If all of them were fitted tightly,

then such beauty would have not been made.

- Really? - Of course.

See, your grandfather

made the study of nature into art

and made great things.

Wow.

I want to play, rest, and drink just like granfather!

Yes! That's it!

Father!

- Mother! - Mother!

Did you get them drunk again?

No, I didn't give them drinks.

Father!

- Father! - Father!

Welcome home.

You're here?

Don't!

Everytime you two give those signals, another kid pops out.

You already have five! I can't handle any more kids!

Father.

We don't have time, anyway.

Why?

The king has called us both.

Your majesty! I've returned from the waterway construction at Acjak.

Have you made the water useful for watering the fields?

Yes, with a waterway more than 7 kilometers long,

we finished the construction, and brought water up.

The era of rice has come, lord! Just as you wished.

- Yes. - Doctor Mok Rasoo

at the Sajasja, also praised your work.

I was wondering about that.

The queen asked to go to Sajasa, where the doctor is,

what is he doing?

I don't know for sure,

but I've heard that he won't come out of the workhouse.

Chogi! Do you not know, too?

I've only heard that he was asked to make something.

To make something? What?

I don't know.

And Chogi.

Yes, your majesty.

- How is the queen's health? - Excuse me?

Is she... very ill?

No, your majesty.

Tell me the truth. Is she all right?

Yes, she's fine.

She's been bored.

Take her to Sajasa, as she asked.

Have a good trip, queen!

Take care of things, while I'm away.

Yes, your majesty.

All this has been made into rice fields?

Long ago, Giroo also said

that an era of rice will come.

Did he?

Yes, Silla knew it, too.

That's why they envied Baekjae's lands and farming skills.

They wanted it for themselves.

Yes, that's why I'm in a hurry, too.

If I don't gain power first,

then all this will be taken away.

No, it's not that.

Even if Baekjae loses power, because of

the era you have opened, the era Baekjae has opened,

rice will be something everyone can have.

That will be the biggest blessing

you will give to the future generation of Baekjae.

That is your glory.

What's the matter?

How can you always encourage me,

and be proud of me, and lead me?

Always the same?

Because I'm a silly girl.

Your majesty! Shall I bring doctor Mok Rasoo?

No, we will go see him.

Yes.

Lord!

What is this?

A gilt bronze censer designed by the queen.

By the queen?

The prop is the shape of a dragon. It symbolizes the king's

childhood and royalty. When you were little,

you were teased as a dragon's son, right?

Above the dragon, is a lotus flower that symbolizes fire-like strength.

Wishing for an endless birth.

The lid has five mountains,

a way to the heavens.

A way to the heavens.

The five musicians that are seen inside the mountain tops

are symbols of the people of Haneuljae, who sang sad songs but lived strong.

And the five birds surrounding mean

the people of Baekjae.

The people.

And the phoneix on the very top, is you, the king, who holds the people.

Queen...

When will it be finished?

Wait a little more.

Lord! Let's go to your mother's home.

I have things to do there.

I want everyone to leave.

Yes, all of you leave.

I want you to go to the guards' tent, behind here.

If we go, there will be no one here.

I'd like to spend some time with the king alone. Will you bother me?

All right.

What's this?

I'm going to cook for you.

What?

When we ran away and came here,

I said I would cook you something, and all I did was give you soup.

And you were so touched you hardly ate it.

So this time, I will try again and succeed.

No, I'll do it.

No, I will. You just wait.

No, I'll do it.

I said I will.

I have to do it!

If you do everything! Then leave,

how can I live?

If you give everything to me and go,

then how will you live?

I must do it. I have given you pain all your life,

I have to give you at least one thing.

But, your majesty!

Who will remember a wife, who has never once

cooked for her husband?

I will.

Every breath, every look,

every wrinkle when you smile, I'll remember.

So let me do it.

I'm glad you cooked.

If I had done it, it would've been soup again.

It's really good. Really.

It's all my fault.

How it must have hurt you, to see me

fight against your father!

We shouldn't have met in the first place.

I should have let you go, even if I met you.

Don't say such things.

We can complain of many things,

but we can't complain about our love.

Who on earth, is as happy as we are?

Who can achieve love like we did?

You being a Beakjae man, and I being a Silla woman...

A commoner and a princess... no temptation,

no political fights harder than war

could shake us.

Who in the world has songs about them

ringing all over Baekjae and Silla?

I regret nothing.

You said that fate is not a road you can't escape,

but a road you keep going,

even if you can avoid it.

That was me.

I could've have escaped you because I was a princess,

but I walked this road.

And I got everything I ever wished for.

So do not cry, even if I die.

We have nothing to cry about.

My dear! My dear!

I told you not to be surprised.

Why are you always surprised?

Don't get tricked by me, just once.

You are really silly.

It's still cold. Why do you keep coming outside?

I like it here.

Lord! Build me a temple here, please.

A temple?

Yes!

Actually, I had a dream a few days ago,

and the priest said to me

to build a temple called Mi Reuk, by this lake.

Mi Reuk Temple?

Yes, he said that then

you and I, and all the people

will be able to go to heaven.

All right. I will.

Queen!

I'm just playing.

It's a joke.

Queen!

Don't cry.

You shouldn't cry.

My lord,

you look wonderful when you smile.

When you smile...

your smile

your smile

your smile

Queen! Queen!

Seo Dong!

Lord!

The queen left, without seeing this.

Yes.

I think she knew, for she asked me to tell you this.

That if the bronze censer gave you a difficult fate,

then that she wishes this one will give you peace.

King Sung who passed away because of Silla,

Prince Aja, King Wieduk,

King Hae, King Bup...

those who were dethroned because of Silla, and the people who died,

even Giroo...

She wished that you and the peple have peaceful rest now.

That the peace would be your fate now.

OK, I got it.

If you say so, my dear queen, then I shall.

But, there is one thing you do not know.

Fate is not a road you can't escape,

but a road you keep going, even if you can avoid it.

But one thing, one thing!

There is one thing I can't escape.

That I couldn't escape.

You. My heart that misses you.

I can't escape from it, nor can I avoid it.

I don't think this will comfort me.

I miss you. I miss you more than anything.
