Episode 4

Oh, you're still not home yet?

Hello? Mom, it's me.

Yes.

I was just buying some food to eat.

Yeah, I'm doing fine.

What?

TV broadcast?

Yes, they show the whole live parade via satellite broadcast all the way over here.

From watching it, I started to feel a bit weird.

Can you understand my feelings?

Hey! I thought that I might have been able to see you on TV, so I didn't even blink my eyes.

Isn't it like searching a needle in the vast ocean?

Did you visit your father's memorial Hall?

It must need some repairs.

I have settled everything here.

I'm leaving for Seoul tomorrow.

Really? Wait..

What time?

Yeah.

Wait for just a bit, Yul..

Let's show to those who abandoned us that we are alive and fine.

For letting us suffered while they lived comfortably.

It's time for us to show them the opposite so that they can also spill tears of blood.

Don't worry Yul..

Mom will take care of it.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

The Crown Prince's living quarters, Eastern palace is split into two places.

Originally there was just a traditional Building "Sa Yang Dang".

But later, a western structure building was built next to it so, it became two places.

"Sa Yang Dang" is now only used for the Crown Prince's educations..

And the new western building is where the Crown Prince stays.

In between the two places that is a hall like a big cake in the middle.

One side is for the Crown Prince and the other side is for the Crown Princess.

I was brought to the Crown Princess side after the "Tong Ne" ended.

Hyorin! You...

Come down quickly, what are you doing in the room!?

What exactly are you thinking of?

Don't you know who these people are?

Come down quickly!

Isn't this your dream?

You're going to their school for free if you just sign here.

Do you want me to read this to you again?

For the Crown Princess's education..

Before starting on the Four books and Five classics. Get her to study the Filial piety classic.

She must not be familiar with the Chinese characters education.

So it'll be better to use Korean to teach her instead of the Chinese characters.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will listen to your instructions.

Queen..

What were some of the basics of the Prince's education?

Yes, Your Majesty.

The proper way of talking, actions, and ways of expressing emotions are the main basics to focus.

Of course. Those kinds of educations are first priority.

Yes, of course, Your Majesty.

Since you are from a high class family, you were trained with the ways of the Palace ever since.

So you didn't have much hardships living in the palace, right?

What?

Yes, Your Majesty.

The new Princess is different from you, she's a lot more unrefined.

So please be more understanding and tolerant while teaching her.

Yes, Your Majesty.

After the accident of Crown Prince Hyo Ryul..

When the King had to suddenly take over the position during the chaos...

If you haven't help out with full dedication by his side..

The disastrous situation wouldn't be settled so quickly without you.

I may have not said anything at that time, but I was truly thankful.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

We are now showing a special on the Crown Prince Lee Shin's wedding parade.

Crowds of people gather on the streets to see the young Crown Prince's wedding parade.

The Crown Prince's wedding parade is still ongoing.

Your Majesty, wake up!

Your Majesty, you must wake up! Please wake up.

It's morning.

Your Majesty, why didn't you wear the sleepwear we gave you?

How can I wear that beautiful dress to sleep?

My mom bought me this.

You must hurry to get ready.

What time is it, unnie?

What time?

I'm late!

Unnie, where's the washroom?

I'll lead the way, Your Majesty. Please, follow me.

What are you looking for, Your Majesty?

It's most comfortable to wear sports wear in the house.

Where is it?

The study room?

Wow! Is this gold?

It's fake.

What's this for?

This is really great.

You two are now an official married couple.

The teachings of a woman. The ways of a married couple..

The mixing of the Yin and Yang. Reaching high above to the gods.

Believing in the great righteousness of heaven and earth.

The political integrity of the human relations..

According to ancient sayings,

honesty is the most precious thing between man and woman..

The Crown Prince couple, no matter if it's sadness or happiness,

During your living years, no matter what time or place,

You must overcome everything together.

Am I being too long-winded for you young people?

From today, the Crown Prince's bodyguards will be reduced to 3 from the 14.

They won't be guarding in school and will wait outside the school.

And also, as for the Crown Princess...

From now onwards, you'll also be under the protection of the bodyguards.

Although you might feel inconvenience and uncomfortable..

But still, you'll need to be under the basic protection.

From now onwards, I hope that you'll enjoy being protected.

Yes, your Highness.

Thanks for sending me the bodyguards.

So, are you going to keep your promise?

Promise?

To move from East Palace to Cheong Duk Palace.

Oh! That?

Cheong Duk Palace is not finished yet.

You have to wait for one and half year after.

But you promised before that I can move-in there with her after the wedding.

Prince, how can you be like this? in front of the Princess?

Anyway, she knows about it, too. I have already told her everything.

Let's talk about that thing later.

How can you behave so rudely in front of the elders?

What's the difference between talking about it now or later?

You are not going to keep your promise, right?

What?

Let's go.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

Excuse us, we have to go now.

I can't believe this!

You mean to say everything is just an act?

I understand that's not an easy thing

to let the Crown Prince leaves the main palace.

So that's why I needed to use some underhand methods.

Although it's a little childish,

But it's the rebellious stage of my youth. Got it?

What a wicked fellow!

What?

You really told him such things to just to strike a deal for his marriage?

I'm really sorry, your Highness.

The well-behave Crown Prince who obeys the elders words like the heavens.

I didn't know when he started to show signs of being rebellious.

I should have just send him to the Royal family's high school.

If the King had listened to me at first...

That's really foolish!

The main cause of the problem isn't here. Don't tell me that you are not aware?

The Crown Prince becomes what he's today because of your stubbornness as well.

He was so well-behaved when he was young. So why is he now bend on acting his own ways?

It was you who made him believe that he'll be able to get his own way by rebelling recklessly.

They are here to safeguard you. They are your personal bodyguards.

Wow.

We will do our best to protect you, your Highness.

The three of them are all highly skilled in Martial arts, your Highness.

But then, although we have already met a few times.

Sir, who are you?

Yes, your Highness.

I haven't introduced myself.

I'm the person in charge of the Palace's internal Affairs.

I'm like the shadow protector of the Prince, the Palace Internal Officer.

Internal Officer? Eunuch? What am I to do?

Hey! What are you thinking about now?

Oh, it seems like you mixed up the Internal Officer with Eunuch.

Your Highness thinks that the men working Officers are all castrated Eunuchs.

But Internal officers like me are people who take care of the King and Prince.

And manages the internal affairs of Palace as well.

To put it into modern words, we are professional housekeepers.

During the Koryo dynasty, this is the highest management level of all Eunuchs.

The Royal family's Internal Officers and the Eunuchs from Koryo dynasty are almost the same.

Oh I see, that's why.

I'm so sorry to have misunderstood you, Sir.

I'm not a Sir.

Please call me, Palace Internal officer. Bigungmama.

Bigungmama.

Why do you have a problem with that?

No, it's just awkward, being called a Queen.

I'm the Bigungmama. Come over and become my servants.

Yes, Bigungmama.

I'm here to say my proper greetings.

I'm the Choi Sang Gong who's in charge of your educations.

What?

You're going to educate me again? I'm doomed.

To process the legal documents needed by the Royal Accountants.

The Officer is now waiting for you.

Royal Accountant?

The Royal Accountants are the officers in charge of

managing the Royal family's personal properties, your Highness.

If you are tired, we can push it back till afternoon as well.

Do you want to do that, Your Highness?

Eh?

There's no need for it.

This is the account book for the things that the Royal family will be transferred to your name.

Savings, gold, stocks and insurance.

Land deeds and properties are all recorded down in details.

If you have anything to ask, please say out your doubts.

Please take your time to check it, I'll leave now.

Yes.

Anyway, please take care and goodbye.

Hundred, thousand, ten thousand,

Million, 10 million? 100 million?

Million? Million?

Wow... I'm rich!

You're rich Shin Chaegyung! Hooray!

Hooray!

Clothes. Shoes. Perfume. Digital camera! Handphone!

And all these just need 80,000,000.

- Are you sick? - What?

- Why? - You were laughing like a crazy person.

No, I'm not crazy.

Why should I be crazy when I have so many possessions?

Hey!

It's my gym Pants.

- But who are you? - Don't you remember?

Oh, you are the transfer student?

That's right, you are that transfer student.

I thought that it was being confiscated.

But, are you transferred to our class?

News from outer space.

He's exactly my style.

Hello, Children. Everybody, hello..

Hey guys! Hey guys! I got bodyguards!

Okay okay, just wait. I'll transform now.

Alright, first step. Transform!

Success! Success! Success!

Alright! alright!

Ready for second step. Wearing it, wearing it the pants is coming.

Second transformation success! success!

Are you all terrorists?

You are making me so scared.

I'm going to eat it all.

Want some?

Just eat it yourself.

Are you alright?

Yes I'm fine.

Are you feeling more comfortable after shaking them off?

This marriage is really not bad. How did you spend your first night?

Oh my, what are you thinking of?

What? Did anything happened?

There's not even 1% of what you are thinking now.

Now that I think about it I think there was about 7% of it.

Tell us about it.

Let's go, you guys.

You should have passed the ball to me, then I'll shoot.

The worst player is the one that speaks the most. Who's the worst one?

Hyorin!

Let's Go! Why? Where?

Where are we going?

See you later!

I'll feel unhappy if that happens to me as well.

I'll hate her completely and feel bad just looking.

A person that's so ordinary, suddenly becomes the Crown Princess.

Doesn't seems to make sense, does it?

And it's not some Cinderella story.

From all angles, it just makes people puke.

From now onwards, I'll just have to make the best of it.

I won't give up like always.

Anyway, thanks.

What's there to thank for? I didn't do anything at all.

You did, you were here to listen my complaints.

You are really great.

I'm really great.

Sorry.

It's a relief, I found a new good friend. Anyway.

Me too. Anyway.

Min hyorin was a fool.

A fool that only know to practice ballet with her life.

When you look at the competition, everyone's practicing like a fool.

All of them have no emotions.

I..

My life's happiness, sadness, anger and secrets are all used for dancing.

And so, I'm going to start playing all I want..

You're going to regret it.

You are going to regret your whole life for not waiting for me. Forever.

It's game over now.

But you'll still play with Hyorin, right?

Don't worry.

Who's going shake your determination?

Don't you know me well?

You are also a fool for not playing.

A complete fool.

Here she comes.

Brace yourself.

Everything will be okay.

Don't worry.

Thanks for transfering to our class.

Here.

One, two, three!

Fighting!

Hey, we have some words to tell you.

What?

Go stand in front of the teacher's table.

Really? Okay...

Thanks a lot you guys.

You guys are treating me better than what I�ve expected.

I�m just thankful that you guys kept my desk and chair.

CUE!

Congratulations Cinderella!

Congratulations your majesty!

Guess which one�s the flower!

Congratulations!

Don�t be so happy, you're now a married woman!

Your life is over now. Do you realize that?!

What is this?! It�s over already?

Congratulations you clutz.

Hey! Is it right that you�re getting married before me?

So, Sam�s one of us?

If not then, they�ll leave me out.

What? Do you expect me to have a space war?

Hey! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and blow out your candles!

One, two, three!

Is this fun for you guys? Is making a fool out of me fun for you guys?

Sam, and all of you guys, you�re all dead!

What�s wrong with her?

I didn�t think you�d be part of the trick too. You know how shocked I was?

What was I supposed to do? They were begging me to act along with them.

That was my action.

I know too. Action�

What are you doing? Hurry up and get in!

I�m gonna go now.

When�d you get here? You came out fast.

You�re leaving now?

That spot�s mine..

Do you understand?

That�s my spot.

Here, a gift for you.

It�s ok.

Just accept it. All he has is extra cell phones in his house.

We got one too. It�s a new model coming out next month. It�s awesome!

Where should we go? You said you�re gonna play from now on.

I have to go and thank the teacher for all she has done for me..

See you tomorrow.

I think I�m going crazy. That street is the way to my house.

I used to ride my bike to school. I wonder if my bike�s doing well.

I wonder if the rain got to it and made it rust.

I want to ride my bike now.

Shin Goon!

What are you doing?!

Um.. We�re near my house, so can we stop by?

After school, at Suh Yuhn Dang, you will learn about the 21st century�s constitutionalism your Highness.

And your Majesty, you will learn about filial duty.

I wonder if my Princess is eating well.. wonder if she got a stomach ache, or got into trouble..

It�s probably not going to be easy for her to learn the etiquettes in the palace.

Don�t worry! You know how clever our daughter is?

Even if she stutters in the beginning, she�ll catch on right away and get used to it.

I believe that she�ll do fine and I don�t worry at all.

If she does do fine, that�d be great.. but.. OH! Should I call her?!

HEY! Don�t just call her to cry your eyes out! Just leave her alone.

Hey! Mrs. Lee, aren�t you even worried?

At any rate, you were born with a personality like that.

Yeah, you�re right! I am born with a personality like that.

So let�s live with more strength!

Here, your phone.

Hello, I�ll serve you and your family like it's my own, this is Lee Soon Ae, how may I help you?

You always get to see your mom, dad, and even your grandmother.. that�s not fair.

You�re mean..

Conceited..

Con � cei � ted.

Conceited! Conceited! Conceited! Conceited! Conceited!~

What?

Nothing..

Anyways, he�s really conceited.

Watch out!

Did you fix your phone?

No. It died that day.

Um, if you don�t mind, can I choose the ribbon?

Here you go.

You have a good sense.

But, why didn�t you choose a flower bouquet instead? Isn�t it prettier?

I don�t like flowers with no roots.

Ma�am, do you want me to make you a flower bouquet?

No, I�d like a flower with roots.

Sure.

Your girlfriend will like it.

How are you my Prince?

Welcome back Your Majesty.

You must be busy but you still came out for me Mr. Chweh.

Of course, I�m an exclusive reporter.

You went up to become a chief?

Are you using that as an excuse to say that I have aged? That�s against the rules.

Oh, so you�re Yul!

Yes, this is the Prince.

You look just like when you were younger.

This is the chief of the press. He was your dad�s best friend.

Nice to meet you. You�re splendid! We have our Prince right here.

Here, let�s drink.

Seoul seems to have changed a lot, don't you think?

It became more stabilized and it artistically changed.

Yes, it�s a lot more wonderful than I thought it�d be.

Have we gone too long?

Hey, what if we both look outdated?

Of course, you guys did so well today.

It�s because you�re such a good teacher.

Thanks.

Oh, I don�t have any hands right now, so I�ll take it later.

We�re going to go now.

Ok, bye.

Professor.. Thank you..

I�m sorry.

You admit that you�re sorry?

I�ll start from where I left off soon. You�ll give me time to get ready right?

Okay, I trust you. I�m gonna trust you so hurry up and come back.

Okay. I�ll come back very soon.

Your girlfriend is very pretty.

You had your appointment here?

Oh, mom, this is...

Hello, my name is Min Hyorin.

We go to the same school.

Nice to meet you. I�m Suh Hae Young.

Unnie? Unnie? Oh my gosh, it�s me! Joo Young!

Don�t you remember me? I was a dance major at our school.

What happened? I thought you died in England.

Oh, glad to see you again.

You haven�t changed a bit over 14 years.

No, wait, you got younger!

I�m scared. Are you a witch with magical powers by any chance?

Oh my, is that your son?

Wow, you�ve grown so much!

You look like your mom a lot! You hear that a lot don�t you?

You look like a real Prince.

Oh my, what am I saying? He is the real Prince. My mistake, sorry.

Joo Young, I have to get going now. I�ll call you later. And keep it a secret that I came back.

What was that about?

Hae Young unnie is my old school friend from college.

You know, back then, she was the Crown Princess soon to be Queen.

It was about in the beginning of 1990..

Remember that Prince that died in a car crash?

Yeah.. I think I saw it on the Palace Channel..

Yeah, that�s right.

So then, she and her son left the palace and went to England.

If only that Prince didn�t die, Hae Young unnie would be the Queen right now.

And obviously, her son would be the Prince.

Poor them. This is like a storyline from a drama.

The wedding has already ended. Why aren't there any movements from Hye Jung Goon?

We still don't have any news about her plans.. But according to the Royal relatives,

there's a possibility that she has secretly returned today..

We still have no proof of anything yet..

I've already given orders to start the investigations from Hwi Sung Mama's side.

I�m so much better now, but yet you are still worried?

No, your Highness.

I'm already not that worried since you have become better.

It�s because of that child..

That child?

I�m talking about Hwi Sung Goon.

Every time I think about it, my thoughts get tangled up.

Not even a word from them for 14 years. And they decide to come back when your condition is like this.

Not long ago, I�ve heard that Hye Jung Goon is also coming back too.

And it makes me feel so uneasy.

Is all these, my delusion and solicitude?

Time passed by and grew like the children�s height..

How I wish all of these can just be blown away by the wind.

Your father must scold us for coming so late.

Let�s go in and look. The Royal relatives seniors have been waiting for a very long time.

We have to thank them for watching your father�s grave for us this whole time while we were gone.

Let's go, thank them.

Uncle, I'm sorry for letting you wait so long.

No, it is okay. Take your time.

There is no need to hurry, so please take your time.

Okay, then.

All this time, we went through a lot, right?

Now is the beginning.

I�m not going to ask for a lot.

I�m just going to get back what we lost.

Not more or less..

Just how much we lost..

Let�s not rush this..

A little bit at a time..

Slowly..

You know.. right?

Do we have to eat like this every time we eat?

This is the Queen's orders.

To have different utensils for different types of food.

And to report daily about the food and drink conditions.

Oh my..

There�s one more.

What is it?

The time to be watching movies together with Aba Mama.

Movie watching? Oh, I like that.

You won't be saying that once you look at the movies scheduled.

Looks like they are those movies with deep meanings.

I hate those types of movies the most.

There are popular movies too.

Do not worry, your Majesty.

Oh really? That�s good.

Then, when does that start?

Starting today.

What? I�m doomed.

I was planning to rest after I eat.

Rest? First, it�s the old sayings revisions. And then, it�s the movie watching.

The body, hair and skin, all comes from our parents.

Never to hurt nor destroy them, is the first start of filial piety..

You must set good examples to pass down to the younger generations.

To bring glory to your parents as the end of filial piety..

Faithfulness to my husband, begins with marriage..

Putting him in first place till I die finally.

Mama. The cell phone has to be turned off.

But it's Shin goo- I mean it's the Crown Prince.

Hello.

Regarding the movie appreciation time with ah pa.

I will go over directly after my exercise.

You just go over by yourself as well. And don't use me as an excuse to be too late.

You mean I need to go over now?

Yes. I will get prepared now.

We cannot allow the king to wait for us.

Hello? Hello??

I am curious about what bigungmama thinks about the movie?

Me?

Our hanboks are beautiful.

I used to think that hanboks only came in a few colors, such as red, yellow and green.

However, after staying in the Goong and having to wear it everyday made me realize that that is not true.

We are not the enclosed type of people that others said we are, right?

I feel that we are the world class people.

The world class people? That sounds interesting..

And so?

Flowers, maple leaves, trees, sky, fireflies...

They are like the natural scenes of the movies.

Having an additional person really brings out more depth during movie appreciation.

Then it is okay to have movie appreciation once a week?

Yes. I will ob.. obey.. orders.

It's okay. Just reply in the way that you are used to.

Yes. I think it's great!

I am not calling as Hyorin today, but as the secretary of club.

We are always missing in the gathering. The rest are complaining already,

and if all of us are not there, the gathering will be meaningless.

If this carries on, then we will have to close down the club.

Says who?

Is it.. Kang In?

That punk. Tell him not to cause any trouble. No such thing will happen.

Hey pig! How are you?

I am exercising.

What? You miss me? Shut up. I am going to ?? You are exaggerating.

Chaegyung ah! It's dad.

Chaegyung ah. Are u doing okay?

What time is it already and she is still calling?

She has to wake up early. Tell her to sleep early.

What?? Really?

You're a millionaire? You are rich?

What does this mean?

What did she get as from the royal family?

Su go yi, hey give everyone a present.

Shin Chaegyung. I am in the millionaire's club now.

What else?

A club to join when an insurance agent gets 1million dollars worth of deals.

My income this year is enough to pay off the debts.

You don't have to worry about the family anymore.

So our Princess just has to take good care of herself.

So you have to listen to your elders, don't get sick and eat on time.

And don't bicker with the Crown Prince. Don't quarrel with my brother-in-law.

Shin Chaegyung. All those money you have are the citizen taxes so don't feel good about it.

Oh OK! OK! OK!

Why do I feel so empty?

Mom became the cinderella of the insurance world.

We won't have loansharks coming after us anymore.

Why do I not feel happy after hearing all this?

After all I did, everything I can for all this to happen.

What's wrong now?

Why the feeling of emptiness and loneliness?

What is he doing?

A grown up man holding a bear in his hands like a child.

His expression is as if he is thinking about something really saddening.

Is it because he can't marry the person he likes?

So there is a sense of disappointment because of that?

What is this? Then what am I?

This is too depressing and disappointing.

Did you hear? My parents are coming to the Goong today!

It's time for your lessons.

Petty jerk.

Even though she isn't very good with her studies, she has a very good brain.

Even if we have nothing to eat, she is still able to make kimchi from the cactus.

So what makes her so spunky?

The way she eats.

Bigungmama. No usage of cellphone during class.

Mom, dad, I am back.

Mom, dad, I missed you so much.

You won't even let me see my parents.

Acting cool is all you can do.

So you have a plan?

We have a detailed plan.
