a chance... please give me a chance

for the first time in my life...

I have questioned what learning is

for the first time in my life..

for the first time in my life, I met someone who has acknowledged my talents

for the first time in my life, I met someone who has taken my side

please let me have these kind of opportunities

please let me throw questions at this world

and have a chance to dream of a new world..

please allow me to do that

fine...

I won't disclose that you're a girl

but this..

is not to save your life

it's because i can't taint the reputation of sungkyunkwan,

and also,

because I can't dishonor His Majesty's Royal Command

Further, I..

do not intend to keep you at Sungkyunkwan

did you say men and women are not different?

yes

do you think that a girl can compete equally with men?

as a girl who can't even properly hold a bow,

you mean you can compete with the guys

and even become the champion?

if I succeed, would you give me a chance?

if you fail,

I'll order that you be expelled right away and punish you for your arrogance

your brother, Kim Yoon Shik, his name will be removed from the scholar register

so the national law will be established by strick application and

you who've deceived the king and disobeyed the establishment,

shall pay with your death

you will regret your arrogance

and repent for daring to test the difference between a man and a woman

within the walls of Sungkyunkwan,

you're not a girl

furthermore,

no one must know that you're a woman

don't ever forget that's the only way to save yourself and your family

I'll keep it in mind

you have to teach me

I must become a champion at DaeSaRae

is there something wrong?

that thing called miracle

I too need that thing called miracle now

if I didn't have fronze shoulders, I'd be like Jumong

I give up. either the Student President or Lee Seun Jun will be the champion anyway

Confucius said this

"Sa Ja Nam Ja Ji Sa"

archery..

is a man's work

men's work

saying that it's men's work is..

Confucius was simple-minded

that's right, that's right

isn't that right, Daemul?

give it up, give up

as a girl who can't even properly hold a bow,

you mean you can compete with the guys and even become the champion?

you who've deceived the king and disobeyed the establishment,

shall pay with your death

stop.that's enough

oh..the bow has snapped

as a man, you're so weak. why?

you can't do it anymore?

you're going to give up on the DaeSaRae?

you can't give up! Kim Yoon Shik

you have to work harder

there's someone whom I want to make admit defeat

in the presence of the King and all the Officials

he who dirties sungkyunkwan with ideas of political harmony that

knows no political parties and family background,

The King

and some guy who's very similar to this king

so you must come up to the final round

using whatever means available

there must not be a happening where my plan fails because of you

ah...

if you want,

I can still continue to teach you like the last time

that's enough, Student President

will you wait for us?

at the final round

what you taught me earlier,

now it's my time to respond

is that right?

if I became a champion at the DaeSaRae,

will that be a sufficient answer?

champion?

he said champion. is he insane?

then,

you apologize

did you call us a ragtag group that knows no political parties and family background?

for mocking me and my family, apologize

and you'd have to acknowledge that I'm a sungkyunkwan scolar

whom The King personally selected

is arrogance an infectious disease among your roommates?

I must cure that illness

I'll wait

at the final round

a champion who can't even pull the bow correctly?!

I acknowledge that..your reckless bravery..

is that of a champion

do you..

do you think I can do it??

who knows

it will be hard

your shoulder is too weak

the arm used to pull the bowstring is also thin and small

your breathing is unstable too

on top of that, your legs is not strong enough to support your body

however...

if you made your mind to go to the ends to win this competition,

won't there be a way?

what are you doing?

let me downl now! hurry up!

the strength to withstand holding on

the strength to pull the string

all of this is a foundation for your arm

without such foundation,

if you attempt to hold the bow..

you'll just continue to be slighted by the bow

I said to put me down. let me down now!

just do it thirty times

then I'll plant you firmly on the ground even if you want to fly away

no, bingsoo!!!! this precious thing, how did you...

(bing-soo : sherbet, ice flakes with adzuki beans) no, bingsoo!!!! this precious thing, how did you...

no, bingsoo!!!! this precious thing, how did you...

it's from my heart

no matter how precious the ice is

does it compare to how much you sweat, training for the DaeSaRea?

now, Jook eat it up

show His Majesty without any regrets

the lives of the Sungkyunkwan scholars, perspiring for this country

however, has Lee Seun Jun gone somewhere?

since a while ago, he has disappeared with the rascal, Daemul

is that true?

this rascal! he has gone to play without practicing?!

it seems so!

then you're saying that he doesn't know that I've specially prepared this?

however, I know of it!

withdraw!

go!

although it is the arm that shoots the arrow

the power to make the arrow flies come from the lower body

this is the breathing technique to increase your lower abdomen strength

depending on your breathing at the instant you pull the string

you can hit the bullseye or miss it

so it's not something you should ever dismiss..

hold up

if it's breath training you're talking about, I've done it everyday since I was born without stopping

what I need to learn right now is..

how to hold the bow, how to hit the bullseye,

and how to become the champion

you don't know this?

it is as if someone who doesn't even know how to read,

wants to become a government official by writing an essay

shooting an arrow

is done by the bow, you think?

then?

it's the person

shooting arrows without your body being the best it can be..

is useless even if you learn how to hold a bow for a hundred days

you've never

ever said anything wrong before?

it seems I have trained too hard

the last lesson is tension

increasing your grip strength

it seems you plan to participate in DaeSaRea

you made a good decision, Geol Oh

mind your own business

what's with the complement

it's a match I've waited for a long time

it would be unfair not to compete in DaeSaRae because of yor habbit of wandering around

for me

and for your precious roommates

don't make such an effort..

I am not a kind of person who is manipulated by you

you know, you, Moon Jae Shin..

don't know what a head-on victory is

you walk around glaring..

a mere street tug

often times, it must be confusing

taht girl-like, Kim Yoon Shik also..

plans to beat me as a rival and become the champion

you must be busy, trying to practice..

you can't lose against that girly boy

since you are the Sungkyunkwan's student body president

a champion?

Daemul, that punk?

Scholar Kim Yoon Shik!!

honestly, at first I didn't know

though it was an accidental encounter

till now, I've learned more about sorrow than happiness

though i was full of tears,

I will bring you only laughter

I must have finally found my other half

my heart is racing like this

found you, my love

the person I've been searching for

I want to share a heated embrace with you

stay still and close your eyes

so I can kiss you on the lips

I love you, it's you who I love

found you

the person I'll keep by my side

though I had kept my heart closed,

I'll give my heart to you

I must have finally found my other half

my heart is racing like this

found you my love

the person I've been searching for

I want to share a heated embrace with you

stay still and close your eyes

so I can kiss you on the lips

I love you, it's you who I love

found you

the person I'll keep by my side

the person who embrace all the painful wounds on my closed heart

I want to love you more and more

for eternity

found you my love

the person I've been searching for

I want to share a heated embrace with you

stay still and close your eyes

so I can kiss you on the lips

thank you

for coming to my side

he wouldn't have yet hit he bullseye, right?

who? Kim Yoon Shik?

he's improved tremendously

who? Kim Yoon Shik?

there are two days left until the DaeSaRae it would be too much for him to hit bullseye, right?

who? Kim Yoon Shik?

he has a strong foundation

hey! you think I'd lose to that punk Kim Yoon Shik?

to that weakly sissy?

scholar Kim Yoon Shik possesses great talent in archery

it took him 5 days to pull a string

he still has a long way to go to hit the bullseye

but he's bearing it

despite being behind the others,

even so, he didn't give up

what greater talent does a person need besides this?

pathetic guy..

sunbae!

foolish punk

even if I handed a bow and arrow to a calf at Banchon, it would do better than you

sunbae!

for guys, like you, who can't do it after trying and trying...

there's only one solution

what is that?

at times like these, alcohol is medicine

a tightening feeling

you don't know this, do you?

a t..tightening feeling, you said?

in archery, you don't give up till the end, but wait..

until the moment you think you're done

that is called a taste of tightening

a taste of tightening

with this condition of your hand, how are you going to make it till the end?

that's why you keep missing the bullseye

what is it for you?

success or pride?

excuse me?

DaeSaRae

why do you want to become a champion?

I wanted to show them

that I can do it. that they can believe in me

I want to show it to myself

in this world, there needs to be at least one person who believes me

did you learn that from Lee Seun Jun?

you speak well

this, I learned from you

so, you're going to regret it if you don't show up

what?

perhaps you don't have the confidence to win?

if so, then don't worry

because I'll take care of everything

sunbae, you just fulfill the head count

please come to the DaeSaRae

I beg you, sunbae

sunbae

have I ever told you?

thank you

pretty impressive

I'll complain you for transforming Kim Yoon Shik who couldn't even hold a bow into a person

the effort was impressive, but my arrow knows no compassion so what do we do?

it won't go easy on you,

so you have to prepare yourself

I hope that arrow is one that knows how to admit defeat

older brother!

Miss!

oh my! I never dreamt that you'd be here too

why are you here?

at the initiation, Lee Seun Jun clearly said that he didn't go to Bukchon's my house

that's the truth

president, there's no way we could've missed him.. with our eyes wide open

it's possible that someone had helped Lee Seun Jun

but president, Lee Seun Jun is the one that is acting strangely

why did he lie that he didn't solve the riddle?

couldn't he have been soaked in urine?

that you'd visit us, even accompanied by your daughter

I am very honored

today I didn't come as the Minister of War, but as a father

as a father of Sungkyunkwan's Student Body President,

I thought I should stop by once as Sungkyunkwan is busy in preparation for the DaeSaRae

Aigoo, here comes Sungkyunkwan's Student Body President!

ah, you resemble your father as you are big and stong

you came without notice, father

when attacking the enemy camp,

a surprise attack is the best

you have a greater chance of winning

if you don't give them the chance to defend

it's strange..it's strange..it's strange!

if you're hiccuping there's no doubt that there's a woman here

but where exactly can the woman be here

in Sungkyunkwan off limits to women?

ah!

there!

oh!

it was because of that woman wasn't it?

what about that woman?

I'm talking about the initiation

the reason why Lee Seun Jun lied that he didn't go to the Minister of War's

he wanted to protect her from being the talk of the guy

a love letter that doesn't sound too trite, but is still friendly

well...

her beauty is worthy for his willingness to fall in a pool of urine

ahh..

I finally came up with a nickname that's perfect for Lee Seun Jun

Ga Rang

as of today, Lee Seun Jun nickname is

Ga Rang

Ga Rang?

yes

it means the best husband material

to the Minister of War's daughter, Lee Seun Jun is the ideal husband candidate

"Ga Rang" really describes him well

here!

Tteok Gal Bi (meatball made by galbi),Juk Tong Bab (steamed rice in the bamboo tube), even precious uhran (fish eggs)!

the best uhran from YOUNG-AHM city

lady Hyoeun is mean. she not only trampled on a man's pure love

but descriminated by food

aish!

this is the tragedy from the birth

what does Lee Seun Jun have that I don't have except coming from prominent family?

just name it one if you can. then I'll forfeit clearly

you can't do it. how is that possible?

you seem to understand my feeling!

handsome face,profound knowledge,fine physique,great personality

how could I name just one thing?

aish!

I heard you were ill. Are you alright now?

how did you find it out?

well,,that...

I heard it from my older brother!

my brother was so worried. he said I had to come and pay you a visit

I really had no choice

you mean

you're here because of the student body president?

fom now on, it would be better if you don't come here

what?

the national law forbids any women from coming to Sungkyunkwan

if we who were nobly born were easily too violate the national law

how can aristocratic families set a good example for people?

then,

take care

I...

I won't come to Sungkyunkwan again

so, next time..

can you come visit me?

with this much strength, I won't be ashamed of in front the scholars tomorrow right?

your long-sought dream...

you'll fulfill it one by one starting tomorrow, Your Majesty

it's also...

it's also the wish of my lifelong friend who gave up his live for me

are you referring to the former Sungkyunkwan professor, Kim Seung Hun?

was it Kim Yoon Shik?

I don't know how I shall repay all my debt to that child

DaeSaRae is tomorrow

you promised to be the champion

I remember clearly

when you can't even hit the bullseye?

now is not too late

if you're to repent of your sin and give up

I'll spare you and your family's lives

I...

I have finally come to stand in front of the target

until I have shot all the arrows given to me,

I have no thoughts of giving up

did you see that?

I..I did it

then..

did you think you couldn't do it?

you already knew that I can do it?

of course

was there anything that didn't work out when Lee Seun Jun got involved?

I caught the greatest substitute exam taker

and make him a Sungkyunkwan scholars

did you already forget that?

a versatile...bear!

I knew it

Ga Rang my foot!

Wang Seo-bang is perfect for you

I'm proud of you, Kim Yoon Shik

I'm proud

I said that you did great

he hit it!

hit what?

bullseye

Daemul, that punk, succeeded

student president..

he hit the bullseye

pretty impressive

but even so, what does that change?

when I...

have you

yes, of course

Kim Yoon Shit hit the bullseye?

hey Byung Choon

you have confidence right?

about what?!

if we are to lose tomorrow

the president is going to kill you

why would we lose?

Kim Yoon Shik got one hit

I have hit the bullseye more than 99 timesso far!

besides, we still have Geol oh

if Geol Oh doesn't show up, it's over for Kim Yoon Shik too

have you arrived, Your Excellency

it's Hong Byuk Seo! capture him!

that rascal!

immediately go and capture him!

immediately!!

are you alright, Your Excellency?

isn't your post..

to protect my safety?

if you had done your duty as Minister of Justice

that shame Hong Byuk Seo

remaining in the capital..

would likely have no happened..

forgive me, Your Excellency

there he is

chase after him!

he can't go far

catch him

he was injured!

it would be hard for him to pick up speed

we must catch him before he goes to Banchon

yes!

capture him! chase after him!

this is Banchon where Sungkyunkwan lies

no officials are allowed in here!

lets go!

Hong Byeok Seo (Red Messenger) is a

Sungkyunkwan scholar

this country, Joseon, is that of Noron party alone

now the truth of the bloodied Geum Deung Ji Sa will be revealed

you will not sit on the throne but on the rack

which daring bastard is it?

someone naive who believes you can change this world

passion to change the world with a mere arrow

our friend here is a youth

Your Excellency!

furthermore,

writing at this level

show that he is most definitely a Sungkyunkwan scholar

if he is a Sungkyunkwan scholar, that means...

tomorrow at the DaeSaRae,

capure Hong Byeok Seo

the DaeSaRae

is the last chance I am giving you, Minister of War

Hong Byeok Seo has entered into our compound again

make sure not to alert the scholars

according to the police, he was hit by arrow and is bleeding heavily..

is Hong Byeok Seo bleeding?

yesterday was some rats. today is wild cats

scholar Moon Jae Shin..

is he spend the night out again?

Moon Jae Shin

Have his scores minus by 5 points

minus 5 points

I have a question

if scholar Moon Jae Shin doesn't come in by tomorrow morning

what will happen to him then?

the purpose of DaeSaRae is to build a sense of togetherness

so it will not be tolerated, if one person doesn't show up

if Moon Jae Shin doesn't come,

Lee Seun Jun

and Kim Yoon Shik

won't be able to participate in DaeSaRae tomorow

he will come

Moon Jae Shin sunbae will definitely be at the DaeSaRae tomorrow

please wait, teacher

I can not wait!!

am I supposed to just sit quietly and wait??

search all the taverns in Banchon and bring back Moon Jae Shin

if not,

move Lee Seun Jun and Kim Yoon Shik into a different team!

My Loard, that..

hey, you are telling me..

that when Left Prime Minister is personally coming to Sungkyunkwan we should show his son just standing around not participating in

we should show his son just standing around not participating in DaeSaRae?

that's the rule

how can you be so insensitive and have no compassion??

think about it some more

they have been standing under the hot sun practicing for days,

until their thumbs were sore

do you want to see their efforts go down the drain?

what do you think about it?

Professor Jung, what do you think?

isn't there still time before the DaeSaRae starts tomorrow?

until then you should give him time

oh!! how can I...

how about we close our eyes and sleep?

the Geol Oh sunbae that I know

does not fit here in Sungkyunkwan

he doesn't abide by the rules and procedures

however...

I do not think him as someone

who would be so irresponsible as to turn another's hoursof sweat

hard work and hopes into nothing

that's why..

that's why I even more worried

this is the facial composite of Hong Byuk Seo

remember his face and his movement

if Hong Byuk Seo is a Sungkyunkwan scholar,

the DaeSaRae tomorrow would be our only chance to catch him

yes, Your Excellency..

officials could not enter Sungkyunkwan...

you guys tomorrow, dressed up as guard and secretly check them understand?

yes!

we have to catch him before the King finds him

if the circumstances turn out unfavorably..

you may take care of him on the spot

the Dae Sa Rae event happens once in the blue moon!

from mourners,

to aged grandmothers,

to even the King at the palace

Sungkyunkwan's Dae Sa Rae that will make you watch at the edge of your seat!

three pennies...three pennies!

Sungkyunkwan's Dae Sa Rae live broadcasting for three pennies!

three pennies..

lets go!

is this not a beautiful day for archery?

Minister, I heard that there was an accident overnight

I apologize, Your Majesty

I'm the one to feel apologetic

how poor it would be..

for the Hong Byuk Seo (Red Messenger)

to come to the Left Prime Minister's house

you speak so humbly, Your Majesty

Minister of War

please hurry the business of capturing Hong Byok Seo

I am ashamed to face Left Prime Minister

I...

will give my all to follow your order, Your Majesty

however, today is an exception

what do you mean?

I intend to leave behind all the troubles here

you too...

do that for today

His Majesty is going to arriving soon

if scholar Moon Jae Shin doesn't arrive by then

then Lee Seun Jun and Kim Yoon Shik will be considered disqualified

by default

as by rules,

you two will disqualified in the Dae Sa Rae

I guess it's over for the Dae Sa Rae

you couldn't even capture the heart of your roommate

political harmony...my foot

since Geol Oh isn't coming

it's looks like you guys are disqualified by default

there is

still time before the Dae Sa Rae starts

presenting His Majesty!

Your Majesty..

that you would visit my humble Sungkyunkwan

I'd have no other wishes even if I were to die today

it was your Sungkyunkwan?

until now, I thought it was my Sungkyunkwan

pardon?

Your Majesty!

I am deserving of death

it was a joke, Chancellor

is there not another owner of Sungkyunkwan?

pardon?

who?

now the Dae Sa Rae will begin,

this will be the last roll call

for those that are not in attendance and their roommates

will not able to participate in Dae Sa Rae

Ha In Soo, Im Byung Choon, Kang Moo

yes we are here!

Baek Jae Chul, Kim Jong Min, Lee Jung soo

yes we are here!

Kim Woo Tak, Bae Hae Won, Ahn Do Hyun

yes we are here!

take this!

the first room in the middle

Hong Soo Chul, Lee Jae Shik, Kimm Yoo Juk

yes we are here!

the next is center room 2

search for Hong Byuk Seo secretly

even the soldiers and the guard must not know of it

we mus not let the King get his hands on Hong Byok Suh

if the circumstance is unfavourable,

don't forget to get rid (kill) him without anyone knowing

the second room in the middle, Lee Seun Jun!

yes!

Kim Yoon Shik

Yes

Moon Jae Shin

Moon Jae Shin...

is scholar Moon Jae Shin of the second room in the middle not in attendance?

a rule is a rule

because of scholar Moon Jae Shin's absence, the second room in the middle

the both of you can't participate in Dae Sa Rae

due to Moon Jae Shin absence..

both his roommates, Lee Seun Jun and Kim Yoon Shik

are disqualified

Geol Oh...

what is this...

it seems that you are greatly disappointed

I too am disappointed that you two won't competing

I want to break your political harmony in front of the King

so that the King will no longer dream of...

having illusion of political harmony

my goal is not you guys

but The King...

you'd better no longer talk of political harmony and concord,

those ridiculous wordplay

the one who showed that it was impossible..

were you guys

who said that it was impossible?

Sunbae!

hey, Daemul!

I came to fill in my spot

amazing dispaly shown by the center room 2

Scholar Lee Seun Jun, Kim Yoon Shik, and Moon Jae Shin

however the president's team is showing to be strong opponent and take in the lead

bring me the championship

he is making the audience crazy

Jalgeum Quartet..

Sunbae...

Sunbae..

cheers!!!

you kept your promise

cowardly jerk!

stop being so pathetic! be a man!

take off your clothes..

secretive spot?

this is not a man's desire to see a naked woman

it's just the mentality of a scholar (meaning "wanting to learn the truth")

where are you going?

I have to find him..
