-=Episode 8=-

Your Majesty, please come back!

Your Majesty, please come back!

Jae Ha...

You know that I really like you, right?

I really like you

and Gim Hang A as well.

=Have you received the news?=

I've received it, I'm really worried. Now, I just--

You're okay, right?

I trusted the King, that's why I entrusted you to him, and now--

Father, I'm sorry.

Your Majesty, we don't have much time left.

Your Majesty.

Don't you address me like that too.

I want to help.

Is there something I can do?

What do I start with first?

First of all, please complete a King's most basic task.

Please write the Ilseongnok. (Ilseongnok - a daily journal kept by kings during the Joseon Dynasty.)

The Ilseongnok is the King's diary.

Although it's hard to be able to write it everyday,

not writing in it is not an option.

When you speak to the portrait of the former king,

the recording will automatically start.

However, the keyword instructions to start and finish,

you'll need to redo the setup.

Because this records the authenticity of the current King,

so consider the keyword carefully when resetting.

=Please set up the "start" keyword.=

=Please start after the "beep".=

Are you happy?

=The setting of the "start" keyword has finished. "Are you happy?"=

=Please set up the "finish" keyword.=

=Please start after the "beep".=

What are you looking at?

=The recording has finished.=

You've already finished recording?

There's nothing to talk about with a dead person.

What's next?

First of all, there are 8 official proposals that must be decided within this week,

as well as 3 chosen reinforcement group proposals.

It's the country's mourning period, how can there be so much?

Ah, stress...

Tomorrow morning during the breakfast meeting, you'll accept each country's ambassador's condolences.

Afterwards, there'll be a meeting regarding the Arirang, the rest--

Wait, Arirang?

The neighboring countries have plans to report on regional cultural heritage.

So, if we sang Arirang,

then we're singing a song that belongs to them?

Then they'll say that our land is their domain,

our country is their vassal.

Will they try some backward propaganda like that?

How can there be such a thing...

What has our country been doing these years?

There has been a variety of public performances and diplomatic--

Is this an issue that can be settled with several public performances?

Our country's symbol has already been taken from us.

The administration minister should eat poop.

Including the Secretary-General.

Can this be settled by a gentle singing of Arirang?

Is anyone working or just playing around?

Then what has Your Majesty been doing?

This matter started about 10 months ago.

It was well covered by the press. The State Department was also notified.

Furthermore, the Imperial Family has organized several major performances.

It wasn't very far away. One was right downstairs in the banquet hall.

What was Your Majesty doing then?

Give me all the information about Arirang.

There's already a lot of materials that you have to review today,

you can look at that issue tomorrow.

Don't you know how high my IQ is?

It's 187.

If you don't believe me, confirm it tomorrow.

This is all the remaining information about Arirang.

The Defense Minister? So late? Why?

The chimney in the villa was blocked?

Yes.

According to the reports, the windows could only open halfway.

Was it also like that during the safety check?

Considering the former King's preferences,

an older house was chosen, but it was not in poor condition.

Also at the fireplace, charcoal ashes were discovered.

Due to the charcoal, there were a lot of deadly carbon monoxide present,

that's why they died.

A thorough inspection was done, including every corner.

If the King is going, it must be a very nice place.

Do you know where?

If you want to vacation in Korea,

you should consider Amyeomdo.

The sunset is very beautiful.

I'm not suspecting anything, I just wanted to tell you.

It may have been the result of some unfortunate circumstances.

It would be better if the breakfast is Korean food too.

The BTW chairman is especially interested in Korean food.

Also I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to the Welfare Hall for a while,

I hope they can understand.

The other activities and concert, significantly reduce them.

If it's the leadership conference, just contin--

Your Royal Highness, let me clean the Princess instead.

It's all right.

She'll be embarrassed if she knew.

She's a child with a strong sense of self-respect.

But, why hasn't she woken up yet?

Very soon, since there's no abnormality in her brain.

Maybe this is better.

It'll be hell when she wakes up.

Sorry, I'll come to the conference according to the schedule...

Ah, the time...

Then move the interview with the that author to 20 minutes earlier.

It's all right if I don't eat.

I can just eat some biscuits during the meeting.

What about the visit to the Byeokjedong childrens?

That will be too difficult for Gim Hang A. I'll deal with it personally.

Mom, what are you doing?

I'll need a different speech when I see the Asian ambassadors in the afternoon.

Malaysia and the Philippines have different religions.

I'll take note of it.

Afterwards look at this press release, there's a spelling mistake here.

It's not SUE, it's SUI.

I can still remember how we were ridiculed by the foreign press for a spelling mistake 2 years ago.

This wouldn't be that press release from 2 years ago, right?

Check over it.

I'll check it.

Is the Chief Secretary very sick?

Yes, he's feeling very unwell.

Because of the matter with the King, he has had quite a shock.

I'm fine and he falls sick first.

Then the contract with the International Vaccine Institute--

Your Majesty, sorry to disturb you.

But... the Princess has regained consciousness.

Really?

I can push the remaining schedule back, right?

Yes, but...

You said that I fell? From where?

Do you still remember where you went?

Yes, together with my friends, I went...

Jae Sin, are you all right?

Oppa, I called you and said, (Oppa - older brother, boyfriend)

I want to go to oppa's place to play, right?

Do you remember giving me a call?

I remember, I went to the market...

then what did I do?

Wait a moment... Mom, let me have a look at my phone... the calling log...

Mom...

What's wrong with my legs?

Are you very sick? His Majesty said he must see you.

You've arrived.

Are you feeling better?

Is Hyeong's death... really an accident?

The security checks were done, right?

But it's very suspicious that an accident happened at the stove and Jae Sin also suddenly...

The car did not break down,

but Jae Sin doesn't remember how she fell.

Of course, a series of misfortunes can happen,

but don't you think that it's a bit strange?

The former King died because of me.

I didn't do the safety checks properly, this was all my responsibility.

I'm ready to receive my punishment.

The stove was not inspected?

It seems like it.

What about the chimney?

It wasn't inspected.

What about the window?

I'll only ask you 1 question.

For you to accept punishment, Ajussi, is it because of your perfectionism, (Ajussi - older man, uncle)

or is it because you hate me,

and you feel that working to assist me is a waste of effort?

It's both of them.

Then the punishment, of course, you must accept it.

Remain by my side.

Next to me... turn this trash King into human.

Your Majesty, I...

You don't understand what I'm saying?

To kick you out now, I'm too... busy.

Prepare my next schedule, personally.

Yes?

=How was it? Did you see the King?=

Who are you?

=You're still pretending that you don't know me.=

=Thank you for your help.=

=Since you received the e-mail yesterday, you have probably been thinking about it a lot.=

You probably went to the King and tried to resign, right?

But you didn't tell him the most important part, did you?

You know what the most important part is, don't you?

The bribe that you took from us, and then leaked the information to us.

Hello? Hello?

The bribe... I absolutely didn't...

No, no, you definitely knew.

Of course, you weren't willing to destroy the Royal Family,

but you can't deny that you're a Beatles fan, understand?

That's the only album in the world.

It's worth more than 50 million Won.

=Who would send such a gift to a friend?=

Look at yourself...

Since you didn't tell the King about this matter, it means that you've betrayed him.

Yes, you should be very upset.

=Logically speaking, a person like you who's a perfectionist, can't accept any flaws.=

Of course, you won't admit that you accepted a bribe.

=You feel that you're not that type of person. You're a clean person,=

that's why the matter where you accepted a bribe,

you've erased it completely from your mind.

=So you deliberately went to the King and apologized,=

without telling him the real reason.

=You also chose to apologize=

when the inexperienced King is extremely busy.

=When he will always need you and have to keep you around.=

Are you feeling a bit better now?

That's right, don't you have an exemption from punishment now?

=What is there for you to be afraid of?=

I'm not a hypocrite.

No, no, I'm not telling you, what you should be doing.

=You're wise...=

isn't your King disappointing?

He's a piece of garbage.

That person called Lee Jae Ha can't solve any problems,

=he only knows how to tell people to catch me.=

If this continues, this country will collapse.

=You know it too.=

I'm only suggesting that we think about this efficiently.

In fact, I'm also a pacifist.

As long as you don't provoke me, everything will be fine.

In the future, I'll contact you for many things.

I'll raise some proposals so that your King doesn't cause trouble,

and to open a road of peace.

But for these, we need to settle a problem first, right?

-=Investigation reveals that the former King's death was an accident.=-

Her Royal Highness said that you don't need to do anything.

If you continue this way--

I'm not allowed to be more than 500 meters away from my room, I know.

So I have measured the distance. This is 487 meters away from my room.

I didn't defy her order.

I'm referring to you doing manual labor.

It's not like I don't know any better, neither have I violated the law.

All the members of the Royal Family are extremely busy right now.

I'm the only one who has nothing to do.

It doesn't matter.

You're still not officially part of the Royal Family yet.

I'm just pulling out weeds.

Because a North Korean pulled the weeds, it doesn't mean that the grass will become red.

Don't worry.

Please leave us alone.

You're quite suited for this type of work.

We haven't seen each other for so long, and you have only that to say?

What impudence!

I beg your pardon?

Are you shooting a historical drama?

You're having a very difficult time.

I'm more worried about my mom.

She seems like she can't hold on any longer.

I also want to go and see--

Do you think you could go and see her?

I hope you can help Jae Sin.

Hey! What are you doing?

Mom, it's amazing. It doesn't feel painful at all.

Just like a leg made out of rubber.

I'll be back in 2 hours, so--

Who's outside? If it's Eun Si Gyeong, tell him to leave!

It's a nurse.

Because you're Chief Secretary's son, I trust you.

Contact me immediately, if anything happens.

- If Jae Sin doesn't call you, don't go in. - Yes.

You've all worked hard.

What's the matter?

I haven't visited the Princess even once since she got injured, so--

I'm asking you what happened?

His Majesty said that she should go and say her greetings.

Jae Sin has fallen asleep.

Okay, then I'll wait for a while.

I said that she is asleep.

Then, just let me take a look...

I've caught a cold, sorry.

The attending doctor will be here in the afternoon.

He's just next door, I can go and get the medicine myself,

for this cold.

Let's see... your throat looks okay.

I seem to have a fever too.

How is the Princess' condition?

Are her legs really going to be like that for life?

Yes. She should receive treatment as early as possible.

Although it won't completely recover with the treatment,

it can improve her quality of life a bit.

When is Her Royal Highness coming?

She'll be here in about an hour. Do you need something?

No.

Don't come in! Don't come in!

Nothing is wrong, don't move!

If you dare come in, I'll let you all see me die!

What?

What happened?

Is it the Princess?

Is there anything dangerous inside?

What has she done? Did she really harm herself?

Is it very serious?

She is very sensitive, absolutely no one...

How could...

Letting the hospital settle it...

Trying to break in through the window is useless...

What is it exactly?

Who's outside? Don't come in.

Mirror or a vase. Anything can be used for me to commit suicide!

It is also possible to commit suicide by biting my tongue.

If you want to make sure, just come in and see.

Now you can't.

A person who really wants to die

will not say things like this.

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey!

Hey!

Go away, get lost.

Get lost, let me go.

Let go!

Go away, go away!

Just leave.

What do you think you're doing now?

Are you a crazy communist?

Did you not just poop?

Bath. Or do you want to make a pool of poop?

This, how could this happen?

Gim Hang A went in and locked it.

Princess, are you all right?

Gim Hang A, please open the door.

Tell them everything's fine,

or else...

it will be very embarrassing.

Poop!

It's fine, everything's fine. Everyone can just leave.

Leave, I will do it myself.

Ah, I said I'll do it myself.

Or just ask Mother to help.

Are you being rational?

Do you know how busy the Queen Dowager is right now?

She has things to do, settling the palace affairs.

Without enough sleep, eating medicine like it's food,

looking like she might collapse at any time.

However, as a daughter...

as a Princess,

how could you behave like this?

Taking a poop? Everyone in the world does that.

The King does that, even Jang Dong Gun too.

I even did that too before coming over.

What is the big deal about that?

Don't hit me in the same place again.

It hurts.

Lift your arms up.

Your skin seems pretty good.

Is there any special lotion you use?

It's just natural.

What is it?

Apply more thickly.

Even if you don't say it, I'm applying a lot already.

I have dry skin. You must apply it more thickly.

Wait, wait. For the feet...

you have to apply foot care lotion.

What foot lotion?

Isn't it enough to just wear socks?

The perfection of fashion is shoes.

The perfection of the naked body is the feet. Did you not know that?

Over there, the mint colored bottle.

Whatever different lotion is needed, for the eyes, the body and the feet. South Korea...

Republic of Korea, they simply wrap their bodies in money.

Since you love applying it so much, you might just as well

apply it to the eyeballs, and the tongue...

Mom, you've come?

Mom, I pooped.

Eonni has washed the clothes and the blankets at least 3 times but there's still a little bit of smell. (Eonni - older sister)

How about we spray some perfume?

Just say that the perfume bottle accidentally spilled.

I've already poured coffee over them.

Right, coffee.

The smell is strong and the color is just right, too.

Right, Mom?

Could you all please leave us?

Do you know small mud clams?

Eardrum?

Ah, it's small mud clams.

These are mud clams, small mud clams.

Our family loves to eat mud clams.

Not clams seasoned with ingredients,

but clams boiled with soup.

I learned this from my mother-in-law, the previous queen.

I have tried to teach it to the cooks,

but they have been unable to get the right taste.

Except for my daughter-in-law.

This has already been sorted. You can just directly add them inside.

If not, then you have to wash them clean until there's no more sand.

Like this?

More, it's like washing rice.

Also, you should only stir in 1 direction.

Only then will it be nicely cooked, and it would be easier to eat it.

Once you see the shells are opening,

just cover with the lid for a while.

Ah, so that's how it is.

Only then will the clam's meat become tender.

That dialect, is a little...

I will seriously try... my best.

The hospital food seems to be getting better.

It's quite delicious.

This was made by our cook.

How could the hospital food be like this?

Try this, it's her first time cooking it.

Really?

Then I'm not eating it. You try it.

It is delicious, but just a little bit salty.

Isn't it 1 spoonful of soy sauce?

It has to do with the proportion of water.

But they are cooked just perfectly. This is the most difficult part.

Must... must I eat?

Salty.

Is there no meat?

You will have to endure until the end of the mourning period.

Isn't it much better now?

Do you remember the time when your father passed away?

That's right, I had to fast for 3 days then. I thought I was going to die of hunger.

Looks like Hyeong had greater foresight.

By allowing us to eat,

changing some of the old customs.

If he was going to change things, he might as well have let us eat meat.

Oppa was very old-fashioned.

Your oppa was quite stubborn.

He got it from me. Sorry, your mom is also quite stubborn.

Mom, really. Why are you sulking?

Hey, in fact my mother is quite an introvert.

A little... stingy.

Last time you said stingy, was right.

Jae Gang...

You can hide behind me for now.

I'm a very suitable shield.

Your Majesty!

Sister-in-law, you've worked hard.

When are you coming back?

What's the matter?

This is what you gave me earlier on.

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

Just let it out.

What are you taking about? I'm busy, I still have work to do.

If you carry on like this, you will fall sick.

Nothing is more important than taking care of yourself even if you're busy.

Just cry your heart out.

You've... crossed the limits this time.

Yes.

Is it all right to delay for 3 hours?

Pardon?

I'm referring to His Majesty. 3 hours... no, I mean 2 hours will do.

Yes, do it as such.

Yes. Understood.

What is it?

Ah, that's right.

I have to meet the Council members, right?

That has already been canceled.

However...

The King's favorite food is...

I'm not sure, he seems to like meat the most. Sausages?

=This time, can't you just give that one?=

=Samgyeopsal, just buy me one.= (Samgyeopsal - Korean grilled pork belly)

"This time, can't you just buy me Samgyeopsal?"

No, no, no, no-- no?

This is too...

Oppa is so handsome. Oppa is the best.

That type of woman is the best.

Oppa, oppa.

You have something to tell me? What is it?

I just wanted to let you rest for a bit.

I have to work, I'm busy.

And also, right now, I can't eat meat. You know that.

These are only sausages.

Don't tell me sausages aren't meat?

What's wrong with you?

It's okay to eat these. I secured its approval.

Therefore,

please have a taste, oppa...

Did you just say "oppa"?

Did I hear it right?

We're of the same age, why are you acting so cheesy?

Have you been practicing?

No, I'm just expressing my honest--

What? I could obviously tell you've been practicing.

I'm the King's number 1 fan!

To me, Your Majesty is like Gim Sung Su and Cha Su Lee.

And who... are they?

You don't know? Cha Su Lee is a famous national announcer.

Gim Sung Su is a national actor who has even acted in a Cantonese action movie.

In South Korea, they would be the same as Kim Tae Hee and Jeon Do Yeon.

Are you referring to the lines from that drama?

"To me, this person is Kim Tae Hee and Jeon Do Yeon." Is that it?

Gim Hang A, you sure are trying hard.

Hurry and leave, leave. Go attend your meetings.

Go and settle your paperwork all day long.

Try another one...

This is really funny.

I'm not doing it for fun. I just want you to cheer up.

I'm now in good spirits, really!

In the short time you've taken to prepare this, it's not bad. Honestly!

Although you don't have the same sex appeal as the original actors,

but when it comes to being funny, you're the best!

That's why, do it again. It's a waste not to do it when you have practiced it.

Just 1 more will do.

You're not allowed to laugh. Got it?

I understand. I won't, I promise.

~ Bo. Peep. Bo. Peep. Bo. Peep. Bo. Peep. ~

~ Don't get mad. Bo Peep. ~

~ Bo. Peep. Bo. Peep. Bo. Peep. Ah. ~

~ You were so, so, so kind. ~

~ You changed 'cause of me, 'cause of me, 'cause of me. ~

You're the bomb, Gim Hang A!

What's with the props? Are you going to use them to hit your stalker fans?

You don't have to worry. These are bear paws, aren't they?

Compared with that last song, I feel that this song suits you better...

Not only were you very adorable, but very proper too!

I haven't drank in a while. It feels really good.

I want to sleep here.

There's 30 minutes left, you need to get up and work.

Go and turn them down. Aren't you a North Korean woman?

Just threaten him that you'll give him a poisonous needle, he'll be afraid of you.

Otherwise, I'll stay here for a while to wake you up later.

What are you doing?

I'm your fianc� and the King.

Since ancient Joseon times, attention to etiquette...

If you keep this up, I will have to keep concubines.

Do you think you're King Ui Ja?

Look at your skin...

Haven't you done a skin treatment yet? Let me have a look.

That's strange, I apply a lot of cream on everyday.

Besides, His Majesty even complimented me on how my skin has become nicer.

When did I?

Hyeong?

You believed those words?

My hyeong is very evil, that's how sister-in-law was deceived into marrying him. You're so naive.

No.

He even called me and sent a picture.

What photo?

That...

The day he passed away.

He said he sent you the same one.

Didn't you receive it?

So that was a photo.

I deleted it.

I was annoyed with him.

I thought he had been drinking too much.

It doesn't matter.

We can just look at mine.

Seriously...

They don't look very good together.

See, they really don't look good together.

I was the one who hung up.

Jae Ha...

You know that I really like you, right?

Have you been drinking?

Towards Hyeong's last phone call... I....

With an open mind, try and open your heart.

That way, heaven's door will open for you.

All the problems in the world can be resolved.

Did you think that I didn't know, that's why I asked?

I was just saying it.

I'm hanging up.

I just hung up like that.

I'm sorry.

I really didn't think it would turn out like this.

Chief.

His Majesty hasn't come back yet.

He said that he would come back in 2 hours yesterday.

I accidentally fell asleep whilst waiting.

Until now, he still hasn't--

Make sure the palace staff does not hear about this.

- Quickly send people over. - Yes.

No, I'll go there myself.

Your Majesty, we're coming in.

You should have sent him back.

It is still the mourning period.

No matter how you two got along before--

I was the one who invited His Majesty.

I'm sorry.

=Hello.=

=It's me.=

Hello?

It's midnight there, you have my apologies.

It's still daytime here.

But it will be light soon over there.

I'm now chasing the sun.

I'm on my way back to South Korea.

I'll be arriving first thing in the morning.

How about it? So, will I be expelled again?

Seriously... every time I come back...

The smell of these pickled vegetables and kimchi is really overwhelming.

John Mayer?

Who is he?

He's the head of Club M. A multinational arms dealer.

Aigoo. My head hurts. (Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)

Chief...

I saw 13 people this morning,

and I still have to see 27 people in the afternoon.

Discussions between important countries are only for 5-10 minutes--

This isn't a simple company.

This involves large scale enterprises of 130 companies in the world.

So he's rich...

I feel extremely honored to have met you, Your Majesty.

Nice to meet you.

I'm very thankful for the opportunity

to be able to meet you like this again.

You've met me before?

You don't remember?

-=Next Episode Preview=-

Can I offer a gift to Your Majesty?

It's a black wooden box and a phone.

It was dug out at the place that King Jae Gang died at.

It appears to belong to a North Korean.

You killed oppa...

Do you want to be Queen that much?

Otherwise, we'll be eaten up alive.

Do you like her?

That North Korean who's a premeditated criminal.

There's something that must be done.

Hand Gim Hang A over to the prosecutor.

I don't have the time now,

nor do I feel like questioning you.

You do whatever you want.

Just cry if you want to cry.

I'm very sorry, Your Majesty.

Do you think that I'll concede

to those people who want us to?

I want to confirm Gim Hang A's true identity.

I'll prove to you,

until you're satisfied.
