THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED ON REAL FACTS OF HWARANG

IN THE ERA OF KING JINHEUNG OF SILLA

Kill me now, then.

But if she gets hurt before then,

I will kill you.

Gosh. Did they have to hit me in the head?

A-ro.

Why is he here?

What is this?

It is best to stay still.

If you hit anything, your skull will crack open.

Why am I...

Why did you follow me?

Who?

Followed you?

I must have thought

we were a team because of our clothing.

You must have come after that girl.

Was her name A-ro?

Are you also a Hwarang? You should be careful.

If you are seen with a half-breed like her,

your rank will be lowered.

Since she made us come here,

she must be one unlucky wench.

What are you doing?

I didn't like you from the beginning.

-Come here! -You!

-What are you doing? -You annoying brat.

Come here!

Come here. Come at me!

I will teach you a lesson.

Even Ban-ryu is powerless.

You said you would never be the Queen's dog.

You look good today

for a puppy.

-You little... -Stay.

Just say it and I will break him to pieces.

Shut your mouth!

Just stay still.

Just as I have heard,

they are so beautiful.

Even the flowers and the moon

would hide in shame.

Are you happy?

So, here are two factions

who are for and against the Queen, huh?

What a joke.

Watch them.

They are my Hwarangs.

Do not forget even for a moment.

From now on, your son's life

is in my power.

Do not celebrate yet.

I will find the King soon

and take off his crown.

KIM SEON-U

What happened? Where is that child?

Your Highness, he has not arrived yet.

KIM JI-DWI

Where is that wretched Ji-dwi?

Where the hell did he go?

Your sister? Is this true?

Why do you care that she is my sister?

Let us figure out a way to escape,

and we can talk outside.

Turn that way.

I will turn this way.

What is this place?

I think it used to be a furnace, but it is a butcher's shop now.

They kill cows and pigs here.

I think...

they have a plan to kill something else today.

What?

We must not kill him yet.

Right?

We have to let him live.

That way, we get paid properly.

What about the other one?

And the girl?

Kill them.

The young man looked like an elite.

Will it be all right?

That is why

for your own safety,

no one must find out about it.

Why isn't it starting yet?

Yeo-ul,

who are we waiting for?

Why aren't we starting yet?

They must be making us do this to give us a hard time.

Did something go wrong?

That is the Queen.

Whatever you are imagining,

it only exists in the made up love stories at Okta.

What are you talking about?

Your Highness, we cannot wait any longer.

Your Highness.

Start the ceremony.

Start the ceremony!

Gosh.

That will take forever.

It must be better than whistling.

It is not like that.

Be quiet.

Someone is coming.

I know what you will do,

but you better not do it.

I am not someone you should touch!

How dare you!

Do not go near me.

Do not go near me.

-Kick. -What?

-I said, kick. -What?

Now.

Good.

Hurry.

Hey.

Hey.

Hold on.

No.

Stay away.

You do not know me, right?

I hate those who use knives.

There you go!

Hold on. Are you always like this?

You are the wench

that Dog-Bird treasures so much,

so I shall treat you

properly.

I must live.

You look like Dog-Bird's type.

What are you doing?

Let me down first.

-Are you always a jerk? -You idiot!

What was that?

Help me.

Hwarang Kim Wehwa,

you are commissioned to be Hwarang's chief instructor.

Did you lose your card?

I believe I am not the only one.

Was that card Master Ahnji's son?

Then,

where did you hide your card?

Hwarang Wehwa.

I shall obey your royal decree

and accept your commissioning.

CHIEF INSTRUCTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING HWARANG

Let's go.

Are you sure it's here?

She may not be here.

There.

Hold on. Wait.

It's me.

Don't move.

Are you all right?

I thought they would kill...

Why would you die? You did not die.

Not me.

Not me, but you.

I thought you were going to die.

I was so afraid you would die.

I was so scared.

I couldn't...

I get it,

but can we go now?

Let me untie this.

Where are those rats?

-Find them now! -They are here. We must go.

Give her to me.

What are you doing?

Okay.

Let's go.

This way.

Over there!

Go ahead. I will stop them.

-What? -I said

I will stop them.

Go.

How can I trust him?

Where are you?

Come out.

Come here.

What are you doing?

What the...

Sit down.

Listen to me.

Take this path and go somewhere crowded.

Do not look back.

If you are afraid, count to 200.

I shall return by then.

I will count only to 150.

So don't get hurt

and come back soon.

I said go.

Why are there so many of them?

Did you make a new friend?

Where is the girl?

Are we friends?

Stop asking questions.

I shall take left. You...

Damn it.

Stay still.

Let go!

-About time. -Run.

Who is that?

Get them!

Stop!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Boss!

Ban-ryu.

You are inducted into Hwarang of Silla.

Hwarang Ban-ryu. I shall accept the royal decree.

He is so cool.

So cool.

Hwarang Su-ho. I shall accept the royal decree.

How long must we wait?

I guess the person you are waiting for is not here yet.

Your Highness.

How could he run,

leaving behind his father who gave him life?

We must end the ceremony, Your Highness.

All of you who received the sword of Hwarang

shall be...

Ji-dwi.

You are inducted into Hwarang of Silla.

Hwarang Ji-dwi.

I shall accept the royal decree.

How could you do this to me?

It is my decision

when to introduce myself to the world,

Mother.

Kim Seon-u.

You are inducted into Hwarang of Silla.

May I...

live as you?

May I really do that?

Hwarang Seon-u!

I shall accept

the royal decree.

Hwarang represents Silla's new ideals.

Silla is no longer a small nation.

Also,

we shall be the strongest of the Three Kingdoms.

Hwarang, devote yourselves to Silla

and to King Jinheung!

Hwarang represents Silla's new ideals!

-We shall devote ourselves to Silla -We shall devote ourselves to Silla...

and to King Jinheung!

Who is Do Woo?

Why did he lock you and A-ro up?

He is a peddler of gold outside of the capital.

I met him a few times,

and we are not on good terms.

Why is he after you?

I am not certain.

We fought for many reasons in the past.

It is my fault

that A-ro

was in danger.

Do not place A-ro in danger.

If you do,

I shall not forgive you.

There's no going back now.

You are the son of Kim Ahnji and you are a Hwarang.

Anything you do will become

my business.

I know

whose life I am leading.

Oh, my gosh.

Why are you stripping in the room?

What is it? Did you want to say something?

Seon...

Sun?

Seon...

The sun has set.

What?

Seon...

Your robe is torn.

I am good at sewing.

I should go and have this sewn.

Seon-u.

Seon-u.

It is so easy out here.

Why can't I say it in there?

I need to say it tonight.

I almost forgot.

Thank goodness, he is asleep.

I was afraid you would be awake.

Well,

I have something to say to you.

Now!

Kill me now, then.

But if she gets hurt before then, I will kill you.

Listen carefully to what I am about to say.

You cannot hear me because you are asleep anyway.

Seon...

Seon-u.

Thank you earlier

for coming to save me.

I lived all these years

thinking I had no one to rely on and nothing to expect.

This is the first time

I want to count on someone.

I like having

a big brother.

It's the first time I feel this way.

To be honest, I am afraid

and I wonder if it is right.

But Seon-u,

because you are my big brother...

Because you are really my big brother...

Do not get hurt.

I wish

you would not get hurt anymore.

I am afraid

because of you.

I am afraid I will cause you harm

and be unable to protect you.

It is a first for me.

You can count on me

and lean on me.

You are not alone anymore.

Once he leaves tomorrow,

I won't see him for a while.

Get him out of Silla now!

How could he do this to me? How could he?

After all that I have suffered for him.

After all that I have done to protect him!

Perhaps, that may be the best.

-How so? -He is not safe

anywhere in the city.

Even if he stays in hiding, what happened at the inn

may happen again.

-And so? -Who would ever imagine

the King would be a Hwarang?

I got what I wished for.

What is the problem?

Is he still asleep?

You got up early, Seon-u.

It is not early. It is late.

I see. It is late.

Seon-u, Father left early

-to treat a patient. -Why are you so awkward?

I need to keep working on it, but...

Why are you so annoying? Can't you be nice?

What?

I fixed your robe.

Did you mess this one up too?

Your sewing skills are not so...

Why you...

You useless fools.

You could not handle one young man?

So that peasant became

Master Ahnji's son overnight. Is that it?

Yes, Master. That is correct.

And he was wearing a Hwarang's robe?

No doubt about it.

I understand. You may go.

Why you...

Everything is falling into place. Isn't it?

The King came into the capital,

and the Queen rushed to create Hwarang

as if she was running out of time.

The problem

is someone saw his face.

It must have been

quite a burden.

Then...

I think

the person who saw the King's face

is Master Ahnji's son.

The Queen made the person

who saw the King's face

a member of Hwarang.

Isn't it this?

How do I put this on?

You are so frustrating.

Give that to me. Here.

Turn towards me.

Here.

Isn't it this?

You are more frustrating. I said I was late.

People say you are annoying, right?

I am sure. It is inevitable with that personality.

Raise your arms.

Is it like this?

Is this it?

I am sure this is right.

I do not think so.

You cannot even remember how you wore it.

Exactly. I think it was your terrible sewing...

I may not sew well, but I stitch up people well.

Who would have known?

Whatever.

Stand right there.

Well, you look quite normal like this.

You knew that, didn't you?

I look quite normal. And handsome.

Very.

Right?

I am going to watch Hwarang's parade.

If you see me, maybe you can wave.

I do not want to.

Having a sister

must be something that is difficult.

Now, I need to wave too. Goodness.

Their faces shine so much

that you do not need the sun.

Did you see that? Master Su-ho looked at me.

What is wrong with you? Get a clue.

He obviously has fallen for me.

You are so pathetic.

He was obviously looking at me.

You saw it earlier.

You seem even more pathetic.

-Master Ban-ryu is all I see. -Right? Totally.

No. All I see is Master Su-ho.

-What? -They passed by.

Where is Master Ban-ryu?

Excuse me.

They say clothes are important.

He looks normal, dressed like that.

He annoyed me at the football game.

How is he a Hwarang?

He will not last long anyway.

Who would take his side within Hwarang?

Wait. Who is that?

She is pretty.

Are you kidding me? She is Master Kim Seub's daughter.

What? She is Su-ho's sister?

Are you not afraid

of gathering all of them together in one place?

Are you afraid already?

Do not consider me an ally.

I shall be watching every little thing.

And...

if I think you are taking an improper path,

I shall report it to the Queen.

That is my reason for being here.

Then, it might be not easy for me to work with you.

ASSISTANT CHIEF INSTRUCTOR OF HWARANG

Hwarang's parade has not ended yet.

Why did you come here?

Why do you think I am here?

Those who failed to become Hwarang are gathered here.

-Get lost. -Stop.

They did not want to do it before,

but look how angry they are now

because they wish they could be a Hwarang.

Just until yesterday,

they pledged their allegiance to the Queen.

But now, they despise her the most in Silla.

Are you here to see them?

No.

I came to buy them.

They are Hwarang and we are the support troop.

Are we supposed to serve our friends?

HEADS OF DICSIPLES SERVE AND FOLLOW HWARANG

What makes them so great?

They were lucky because they were born to powerful fathers!

They did nothing.

You are all the same.

You are losers who cannot do anything.

I am different from you.

Got that?

How dare you steal?

You are so stingy.

I wanted to taste it before buying it.

Why are you here?

What about the parade?

-Well... -Did you

decide not to do it?

My goodness.

You made the right choice.

Here you go.

Why would you join Hwarang?

Let us go. I found a great restaurant--

I worked so hard to get in.

I'm going into Hwarang House soon.

Then why aren't you in the parade?

My pride will not let me

participate in something like that.

You did everything else.

Why did she bother saying she would be here?

How are they all so handsome?

They are so handsome!

Here comes Master Ban-ryu!

Excuse me. Sorry.

There he is.

Here.

I'm Here.

-Here. -Move!

Move!

I am sorry.

It was a mistake. I was pushed...

A mistake?

If you give it to me, I shall mend it.

Does this look like something someone like you can fix?

You cannot buy it even for 20 pieces of silver!

What are you staring at?

Do you think this is a show?

Then what should I do?

I would like to know

what you can do.

I am sorry about your robe,

but if you had not pushed me,

this would not have happened.

If you don't have money, just say so.

How dare you blame me?

Wait.

You.

You!

You are the girl from Okta!

The storyteller!

Why are you doing this?

I think if we speak quietly,

there may be a way for you to make it up to me.

What are you doing?

-Come with me. -Let go!

What are you doing? Let go.

What are you doing?

Who was that?

How dare you?

Oh, my.

I meant to hand it to you nicely.

Who are you?

It sounded like it would cost 20 pieces for the mistake.

I hit your face by mistake, so I added 20 more.

It will not end that easily.

Really?

Then,

do you want payment for a third mistake?

Why you...

I feel like

I will make many mistakes to you today.

You may stand there and continue to collect money.

Thank you.

I shall repay you.

But only 20 pieces.

Your mistake isn't my debt--

You owe me a debt from before too.

I was in a mess.

Thank you for back then too.

What are you doing?

What is this? Why you rat--

Rat?

I get called a rat after saving someone.

What is it?

A promissory note.

A promissory note?

Did you just give me a tattoo?

Do you think tattoos are that easy?

It is paint that I brought from the West.

It will not wash out for a while.

Once you repay your debt,

I will remove it for you.

Why?

What did you expect from me?

You should already know that the capital

is not an easy place.

I will surely repay you.

Of course, you shall. For sure.

HWARANG HOUSE

I plan to bring forth progress,

leading Hwarang members of Silla,

with a new heart and body.

I hope for a successful journey.

I am the chief instructor of Hwarang, Kim Wehwa.

As chief instructor, I order you,

open the gates!

HWARANG HOUSE

Three drinks in a row!

DRINKING THREE CUPS OF ALCOHOL IN A ROW

One!

Two!

Do not move.

Three!

These are your doorplates.

The two of you who choose the same color

shall share a room.

Come here and take one.

You have a grim face.

I shall take this.

Today, there are no rules or regulations.

If you do not like your room,

take someone else's.

Also, you may take the roommate as well.

You have

until sunrise tomorrow.

The strong will claim the nice room

and roommate that you want.

Why did you give them such an assignment?

You knew that the alcohol they drank was strong.

If you start like this on the first day,

how could we talk of Taoism,

Confucius, and Mencius to those children?

I did not think that far.

Then,

just do not teach it.

How are you so irresponsible?

If they don't know the taste of strong liquor,

how will they understand the chaos of the world?

Laozi himself would permit it

if he saw the situation

Silla is facing.

Master Wehwa.

If they are to die from strong liquor

or to kill each other,

how many more people will they kill later on?

The strong will oppress the weak and take from others.

Let them try it all.

If you are truly concerned,

you may teach them

the responsibilities for such actions.

How dare a lowly half-breed wear a Hwarang's robe?

He overcame the Bone-rank System and got this far.

We should celebrate.

Let us show him how sacred the Bone-rank System is.

Make sure he never stands again.

I generally get

what you are trying to say.

-But do not do that. -You lowly half-breed.

You son of...

Here.

It will hurt if he does not treat it.

I wonder if he is okay.

-You annoying rat. -Good riddance.

Let's go!

What?

Why you...

Did you use your feet?

That finally sobered me up.

Give it to me.

You do not want to share a room with me, either.

You give it to me.

If I give it to you,

it will look like I lost.

You have already lost.

Give it to me.

I wish you would not touch me.

This is a warning.

I wish you would not be arrogant.

This is an advice.

What if someone dies

while fighting like that?

Do you think you will be safe

after causing mayhem in Hwarang House?

Why are you

so concerned?

Are you already

that attached to your pupils?

If that's not the case,

are you worried about what to report

to the Queen?

Who cares if they kill each other?

If they do not kill each other now,

they will kill each other later anyway.

Master Wehwa.

Damn, it's hot!

You stubborn mule.

I would just give up if I were you.

You

are just a mule.

You annoying rat.

I am not the type who cares about other people,

but were you beaten?

I guess so.

I hear you are the Queen's Hwarang.

I do not usually ask things like this,

but have you ever carried a person?

That would never happen in my life.

Don't you think

that it just happened?

Do not even dream of it.

Did you get hit on the head?

Why

am I doing this?

I thought you were the one beaten up.

Gosh.

Were you hit too?

Let them hate and fight all they want.

Let them get tangled up so they cannot differentiate

one person from another.

That way,

we can

make something new from here.

What?

Have you never seen a beautiful man before?

Just a minute.

It is gray.

Does that make five of us?

Master Kim Seub's son, Su-ho.

Master Ho's son and Master Young-shil's stepson,

Ban-ryu.

Master Ahnji's son, Seon-u.

I am Yeo-ul.

And you, from nowhere

without an origin.

Five.

This is going to be fun.

Don't you agree?
