The Joseon Shooter

Say your greetings. This is Mr. Hanjo.

Yes. Nice to meet you.

Young Master...

Soo In.

Young Master Yoon Kang...

How did this...

How did you...

What are you talking about right now?

Huh?

What nonsense are you talking about right now?

Do you mean you're not Yoon Kang?

I can see with my eyes that you're definitely the Young Master.

I don't know what Young Master you're talking about.

It's obvious that she mistook you for someone else.

Yes. Sorry.

Let's leave now.

Hye Won, wait a moment. Let me just say one thing.

Let me just say one thing. Just one.

What happened?

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

Lord Choi, you're really going too far.

This gunpowder dust.

Hye Won, he really looks exactly the same.

His eyes, his nose, even his voice is the same as that person.

That's right. He really looks exactly the same.

But didn't he deny it?

That person is Japanese.

He grew up in Osaka. He was born there.

We confirmed all his documents with the Japanese consulate.

- But he's so... - Stop it. Why do you keep doing this?

Young Master Yoon Kang died.

You saw it.

My father has worked much harder than me to get this business done.

He's putting all his heart into it.

If you act like this, all that is gone.

Therefore Soo In, snap out of it.

Snap out of it, and help me once.

- Park Yoon Kang? - Yes.

It's a man that girl kept in her heart.

However, he died three years ago.

Did he look that much like me?

Yes. After thinking about it, you do look a bit similar.

Is that so?

Did you know him too?

No. I met him once when he came to find me.

You are pretty amazing.

You can clearly remember a face that you saw once three years ago.

Normally you would need to meet someone a few times to remember their looks.

It was right after his father died.

He had the face of someone who just lost his father.

Looks like I still remember that face.

Looks like he left a great impression.

It's just the skill of a businessman.

Soo In wants to apologize.

I've offended you greatly.

I mistook you for someone else.

Never mind. It's understandable that you would act like that after your lover died.

Are you really a gunpowder expert though?

No matter how I look at you, you just seem to be a girl with nothing to do.

What do you mean?

If you wish, I can show you a demonstration right now...

Forget about those jokes.

If you're going to show something

show me a real explosion at the entrance of the gold mine.

It's not something hard.

When can we do that?

There's not enough gunpowder to demonstrate that yet.

Give me about fifteen days.

In Joseon, you need to obtain permission to buy gunpowder.

Then we'll provide the gunpowder from now on.

We can obtain it in a few days through the consulate.

Let's negotiate a draft until then.

Let's sign the official contract after the explosion ends.

See you again then.

Kanemaru, let's go back.

- Hye Won... - Don't worry.

We'll take care of it.

We'll find a new expert within that time.

- Then what about me? - Just show him that you're preparing.

Don't give him a reason to doubt you.

You're not Park Yoon Kang anymore.

Park Yoon Kang died in Joseon's cold river.

You're reborn now [Three years ago, Japan]

as someone who's never met anyone and never made any connections.

That's your way towards revenge.

It really was Young Master Yoon Kang.

You said that last time too.

This time is different. There's no way I'm wrong.

You said exactly the same thing too.

You're seriously...

Miss, please stop.

If you keep being like this, Young Master Yoon Kang can't go to a better place.

They say people alive need to forget those who passed away

so they can sleep well in the afterlife.

He might be alive.

You said he got shot.

Yes, but I couldn't confirm that he was dead.

I didn't see him close his eyes forever.

I'm going to confirm it.

I'll find out through whatever way possible.

Young Master!

Young Master... Young Master Yoon Kang...

My name is Park Yoon Kang.

I'm Hasego Hanjo.

Head out for the Japanese consulate right now.

Find Hane, and learn more about Hanjo.

His hometown, his parents, his siblings.

Find out everything you can about him.

Yes.

Son Taek Soo has completely disappeared.

It seems like he didn't get the 1000 nyang either.

That's what he needs to do to survive.

Forget about him. Stop it.

What do you mean stop? We need him to...

Stop.

Let it be.

What about Yeon Ha?

I still haven't...

I created rumors for now

that a nobleman is looking for a girl slave who knows how to read and draw.

Find out through other ways too.

Just concentrate on that from now on.

Then what about the gunman?

There's no need to look for him anymore.

We'll meet him soon.

Make a new government department.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The Court of Justice can't do anything because of the officials.

I agree. So what?

To make sure that they can't find out

we need to make a new government department.

Through this department, we can communicate with other countries

and import their new weapons and new technology.

What do you think?

It's a good idea.

However, I don't know if we can pass the objections of the officials.

Your Majesty, please give the order.

You can't be limited by them forever.

Fine. Let's carry this out.

Interpreter Jung, make a plan for the new department.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'll do my best.

Your burden is becoming heavier, Interpreter Jung.

I'm embarrassed by your words.

It's only right that I do it.

Be careful.

You might become their target.

I don't want to lose someone loyal to me again.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Hey, you.

How come you're coming out from there?

I had something to discuss about interpretations.

Okay. Did you not come to meet His Majesty?

How would I dare meet His Majesty directly?

That's right. That's more like it.

A mere interpreter shouldn't sit with His Majesty and talk about politics.

He shouldn't persuade His Majesty to do something reckless.

I'm sorry, but there seems to be some misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

It's a misunderstanding.

Then I need to find out more about you.

Here. This is the proposal for the contract.

Please take a look.

Okay.

Then we just need to see the explosion now.

Are the preparations going well?

Yes. They're going well.

Since you're here, please leave after having lunch.

No, thank you. I'm going to walk around the capital city today

and look for some business to do.

We can provide you with products.

No, what do you mean?

It's not necessarily something that you have.

What does that mean?

There's a proposal from somewhere else.

Also there's the option to mine the Gwang Mountain.

I'm constantly looking for better terms.

Although yours are the best right now.

Then I'll be leaving.

Excuse me.

I know the way around the capital.

If it's okay with you...

No, I don't need you.

I'm familiar enough with the capital's streets.

Still, I'm probably more familiar with them.

There are places that are more complicated than you think.

Right, Hye Won?

I'm not sure. Still, Mr. Hanjo said he doesn't need you...

Please say yes.

Looks like she really wants to make up for yesterday.

Also, it's not convenient to be in Joseon with only another Japanese person.

Yes. That's true.

If that's what you want, fine.

It would be nice if you don't become a burden.

Don't worry. You can save half your time with me.

Let's go then.

Let's go.

What if she makes a mistake again?

Don't worry.

She's not that immature.

For the next few days

we need to stop him from contacting other businessmen as much as possible.

Yes. I'll do my best to help you as well.

You said your hometown is Osaka.

Did you live there all your life?

Yes.

Are your parents living there as well?

Then where in Osaka is your house?

Are your siblings all living there as well?

If I tell you, would you know where it is?

Sorry?

It's the earth.

The land we live in actually looks like this.

And it goes around like this every day.

I know.

Sorry?

That's something that even slaves know now.

Yes.

Looks like you've heard it before.

If you have something you're looking for, I'll help you.

Actually, all the objects here are fake.

I can take you to somewhere with real products if you wish...

Stop playing tricks.

Tricks?

Is that not what you're doing?

When you first saw me, you called me Young Master.

Now you're using showing me around as an excuse

and you keep looking at me and whispering.

What?

Are you interested in me because I'm from Japan?

Are you trying to do something about me?

What are you talking about right now?

Soo In, this is really important.

Help me this one time.

I'm just trying to get to know the person I'm going to work with.

Who told you we're going to work together?

What?

You may have forgotten, but we don't need to see each other if the explosion fails.

If you really plan to work with me

then you should go prepare immediately instead of walking around with nothing to do.

Shouldn't you be doing that if you're a gunpowder expert?

- I'll prepare later. - Later?

If I make up my mind, it doesn't take long to finish the preparations

since I'm an expert.

Wait a moment! We need to go together.

What if you get lost?

What right do you have to do this?

Is there a law saying that only your people can meet Hanjo?

Would I need to do this if there's a law like that?

Please take care and leave.

Send them out of the city.

Remember this.

Soon Do the businessman never forgets kindness or grudges.

I'm not scared of trouble in the future.

Well then.

This place is good.

The structure is too complicated.

There are so many doors once you come in. As a store, it's a bit...

I like it.

I've decided to use this place.

Looks like you like creepy places.

Creepy?

It means it's cool and nice.

Please leave now

since your work is done.

Excuse me.

Here.

It's a present, a souvenir from Joseon.

Would you please try putting it on?

Forget about it.

Excuse me.

Please try it on.

Park Yoon Kang!

Yoon Kang. Yoon Kang.

What is it?

Stay back.

What? Say sorry?

Come here, Officer Han.

Soo In, how...

How did Yoon Kang...

Is it Park Yoon Kang again?

You think I'm Park Yoon Kang too?

Why aren't you calling my name? It's me. Jung Hoon.

The police man.

We went around chasing people.

You're joking, right?

My face did change a bit because I've been having a hard time.

Stop this nonsense now!

What...

He's not Young Master Yoon Kang.

He's Japanese.

How is that possible? His face is the same as Park Yoon Kang...

Move your hand.

I won't forgive you if you do this again.

Understood?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I just...

You should never again call me by that Joseon name either.

Let's go.

That person is really...

Soo In, what happened?

What do you mean he's Japanese? They look exactly the same.

Didn't you see him wearing that hat?

But he denied it.

He said he's Japanese.

No way.

He's definitely Yoon Kang.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Looks like there's a Joseon person that looks like me.

- Let's go. - Yes.

I don't know anymore.

No matter how I look at him, they look the same.

But if I think about it again, this can't be possible.

You would probably know for certain from one look, Yeon Ha.

You would recognize him instantly.

I hurried over there thinking it was Yeon Ha.

I went since they said it's a slave that's good at drawing and writing.

And then I saw her so I ran away.

- So? - I hid my tracks, but she kept following me.

She said she'll do whatever you ask her to.

Looks like her owner was pretty mean. She begs us to please take her away.

What should we do now?

Give her some money and send her away.

This is not the right time for us to take on a dependent.

We need someone like her in the store anyway.

I can't do everything by myself.

I have to find Yeon Ha in the morning, and I have to take care of you at night.

I have to wake up at dawn to cook as well.

Okay. Do it your way then.

Yes.

The Lord agreed to it.

Say hello.

Follow me.

So is there any news about Yeon Ha?

I think it might be hard to find her like this.

Whether it's the patrol or the police bureau...

I think we'll have to work with a government office.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

Are you leaving now?

That's right.

Tell Kanemaru I'll be out of town.

Yes.

Please have a good time, Mr. Hanjo.

- Yes. - Please safely return, My Lord.

Call me Mr. Hanjo.

Yes, Lord Mr. Hanjo.

Just Mr. Hanjo.

Yes, Mr. Hanjo.

Take care of your health.

He even waves to people who work for him.

Yes. He's a good person.

You won't get hit anymore.

Oh my, you poor thing.

Please move your hand.

Thanks for your kind thoughts though.

Okay. Gosh, it's hot.

Let's go in.

Bring the other gunmen.

Go and ambush him together.

Find out who he is and who he's working for before killing him.

Clean this up.

So, did you find out about anything?

His Majesty gave an order

without any of the officials knowing.

Looks like His Majesty is preparing for a big fight.

Yes. I think that's the case.

Looks like His Majesty has changed a lot these years.

[Department Revision Details]

We added some things based on what your original had.

Okay. Thank you.

However, is it possible to make a department like this?

That means the Court of Justice becomes a scarecrow.

The officials...

His Majesty is determined.

Let's believe in him.

Yes. Okay.

You worked hard.

Let me at least pay for tea.

We'll enjoy the tea, My Lord.

You're seriously...

It's okay.

Then I'll see you again.

There's nobody more loyal to His Majesty than he is.

He's already done so much, and he's worried that he can't do more.

- That's what he likes to do. - He need to know where to stop.

We used to have 18 warehouses of properties. What about now?

Only an empty house is left.

We might end up selling this house.

No way. He wouldn't go that far.

The father spends all his money on the Liberal Party

and the daughter spends all the money on Jemulpo Port.

Mom, I only buy things once a month.

Never mind.

By the way, where have you been the whole day?

I thought there's nothing to buy there anymore.

It's not because of that.

Hye Won asked me a favor so I'm just showing someone around.

Showing someone around? Who?

There's this customer of Hye Won's.

I need to go again once the sun rises.

Right now this guy is...

Let's go now.

Go back and wait.

That's right.

You get tired too.

You need to go back and prepare after searching for so long.

Who are you?

You don't recognize me.

You sold my sister as a slave.

You killed my father on that rock.

Then you're Park Jin Han's son?

That's right.

I'm Park Jin Han's son, Park Yoon Kang.

How did you...

You...

I survived.

I felt so wronged, I couldn't die.

Now it's your turn.

Who are you?

Are you the gunman that killed my father?

Nonsense.

If I were that person, you'd be dead already.

That person?

Who is that?

You think you'd be able to do anything if you knew who he is?

Talk.

Who killed my father?

Who ordered him to do so?

This time it's for real.

Talk.

Don't do something stupid. Just keep yourself alive.

You can't shoulder the burden!

This is the last time.

Talk.

Shoot me.

Hurry up!

Then... I'll do it.

No.

No!

No. No. No.

Wake up.

I said wake up!

Talk to me.

I said talk. Talk!

He hurt his left arm.

There's probably a scar there.

You ended up telling me anyway.

I'll find out about the rest.

We separated at Baek Mountain.

He's supposed to arrive much earlier than us.

We thought he might have come to you.

I told him to wait here.

He's not somebody who would be missing when he knows that.

Looks like Moo Duk is in trouble.

Mr. Hanjo.

Yes.

Take care of my luggage outside.

Yes.

Welcome back.

- Yes. - We've started renovating the store.

Would you like to take a look?

Is that so? I'll change my clothes first.

Yes.

No matter how I think about it, he's Park Yoon Kang.

Then why doesn't he recognize me?

Yoon Kang died. How can a dead person recognize me? No way.

Is that Japanese man his reincarnation? What?

- My Lord. - You really surprised me.

Somebody told me to give this to you.

The body of a gunman?

Who is it?

I brought water.

It's smaller than I expected.

This is large enough.

Your gunpowder expert sure has nothing to do every day.

Is this the gunpowder warehouse then?

It can't get wet.

If the demonstration fails, our deal ends.

You probably know already.

Don't worry.

We'll prepare well.

However, do you dislike Soo In that much?

What is there to like or dislike?

The problem is if I trust the expert or not.

Where are you going to store the gunpowder once it arrives?

Can't we just store it here?

The government is not going to allow it.

You can't store huge amounts of gunpowder in the capital

since this is where the Emperor lives.

Then?

We have a warehouse right outside the city.

Check it out, and if you like it, you can store it there for now.

- That's so complicated. - I know.

What are you going to do?

Let's take a look and see if it's usable.

Yes. Let's go.

He ruins my mood.

Why is he looking down on people like that?

This is definitely a message just for me.

If more bodies of gunmen show up, that's all thanks to me.

You can't change your words when the reward comes out.

- I'm just confirming the promise... - Hurry up and walk.

'Hurry up and walk.'

If you promise me in advance, I would feel more assured.

There really is a body.

He's a gunman.

He doesn't have a scar.

He's not the gunman the Head of Palace Guard told me about.

Head of Palace Guard cut his belly right before passing away.

There was a lot of blood back then.

You couldn't wash away the blood with water.

Then Head of Palace Guard cut this guy and then got shot by the other gunman.

Probably...

if he really is the gunman from back then.

Then who killed him?

Was it the other gunman?

Then was the guy I met before the other gunman?

Then did I fight with that gunman?

Quiet please.

- We need to take the body for now. - Yes.

We should.

What are you doing?

Put him on your back.

- Huh? - Hurry up.

How can I carry this alone? Seriously...

Blood.

I heard from Jan Yi.

Quit right now. How can you do explosions?

I can't quit right now. It's just for a few days.

I'm doing Hye Won a favor.

I also heard it's because of Young Master Yoon Kang.

Was it someone like him again?

But it's not him.

It's just someone like him.

If he's really Young Master Yoon Kang

if he's really alive

why hasn't he contacted you up to now?

Yes, but...

I won't ask you to forget him

but please don't do something dangerous for the sake of your father.

Please.

You're doing quite difficult work for a woman though.

I only look like a woman.

I've never lived like a woman.

I've carried more luggage than men while traveling.

You're a true businessman.

Yes.

I've been doing business since I was been born.

Since when did you start doing business, Mr. Hanjo?

Well, I'm not sure exactly when.

I left my homeland, and I bought a company...

Who are you?

There's someone who wants your head.

Who?

Is it Soon Do?

You don't need to know that much.

This person has nothing to do with it.

He's Japanese.

I know.

I'm just going to take you.

Let's go.

Forget about it.

I will walk myself.

Take care when going back.

Miss.

The police officer is here.

Is it Yeon Ha?

Yes. I think we've finally found her.

There was some news.

It's said that there are some people who are selling slaves to Qing (China).

One of the slaves they took was Yeon Ha.

Are you sure?

Yes. The person who gave the information confirmed after seeing Yeon Ha's portrait.

Then where is Yeon Ha right now?

He said she'll be at Mapo Port on a boat leaving for Qing tomorrow.

Don't worry. I'll get her.

I'll bring her here for sure.

Who's that guy earlier today though?

Doesn't he look exactly like Yoon Kang?

If Yoon Kang were alive, he would go save Yeon Ha immediately.

I'm back.

Moo Duk is dead.

The gunman killed him.

The police have his body.

Where?

What about your job?

This is information about Hanjo.

My Lord.

What is it?

Miss said she got attacked, and she's back.

- Hye Won. - Father.

Are you hurt anywhere?

I'm fine.

Mr. Hanjo saved my life.

It just turned out that way.

Thank you.

Please come in.

Never mind. I'll be leaving now.

At least have a cup of tea.

I'll prepare it.

It's fine.

You're probably really shocked. Please rest.

Then I'll be on my way.

Please take care.

Yes. I really need to be careful now

if I want to do business in a dangerous place like Joseon.

Thank you so much.

What happened?

We were attacked on our way to the gunpowder warehouse.

If it weren't for him, I would have been dragged away and killed.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to meet you for a moment.

I have one last thing I want to ask you.

I'm tired so please just leave.

Please tell me.

Are you really not Young Master Yoon Kang?

Haven't I told you already that I'm not him?

But how can you look so alike? You two look too alike.

Your face, your voice, and that look.

Your face is exactly the same as the one I've remembered for three years.

You can't be another person.

Are you still going to keep denying it?

Do you not recognize me?

I'm not him, and I don't know you. How many times do I have to say this?

Please leave now.

Then what about Yeon Ha?

What are you talking about now?

Yeon Ha.

Are you going to say you don't know her either?

She's going to ride a boat at Mapo Port tomorrow night.

She's going to be sold to Qing.

She waited for her brother to save her while being a slave

and that's where she ended up.

What does that have to do with me?

I don't need to know if she's sold to Qing or to Japan.

Please leave.

This time I've listened to you since I pity you.

But never come find me again.

I don't have free time to listen to your nonsense.

That was the last time.

If he even ignored Yeon Ha

then he's really not the Young Master.

I'm not him.

No matter how many times you mention Yeon Ha

I'm not Park Yoon Kang.

Then I'll stop.

Now... I will forget you Young Master.

Must you go?

It might be dangerous so let the police officers take care of it.

I want to confirm as soon as possible

whether it's Yeon Ha or not

and how she is.

This is a task that I would rather you not do.

Ho Kyung.

It's not the first time you've ran somewhere because of Yeon Ha.

I don't want to see you disappointed again.

Please, Ho Kyung.

This is the last time. Let me go just this one time.

It's tonight at Mapo Port.

Yeon Ha.

He can't ignore his own blood.

I'll go.

No. I'll confirm it myself.

So what is Hanjo doing right now?

He's drinking.

- Good. Great. - Taste this too.

It's sweet. Sweet!

Here. You have a drink as well.

- Here. - That's enough.

Here. Now you drink some more.

Bottoms up.

It's so hot.

We're here.

Take a good look.

This is probably the last time you see the land of Joseon.

Brother...

Here's the alcohol I brought from Japan.

Taste some.

Drink all of it.

It's sweet. It tastes good.

Is that so?

Here, have another cup.

Here.

Somebody's watching outside.

Be careful.

Why did you come all the way here?

I was too worried.

Do we just need to wait here?

Don't we need to walk around...

It's easier to miss them that way.

There are many guards, and the warehouse is protected as well.

It's best to take her when they board the boat.

Don't worry. I'll save Yeon Ha for sure.

The police officers are there.

Soo In is also there.

What about our people?

They're searching everywhere near the boat.

Catch anybody who's hiding their face.

- Yes. - Keep this in mind.

If Hanjo appears, he's Park Yoon Kang.

You must confirm it.

Yes.

Subtitles by DramaFever

Do you normally not trust people?

There are people I trust. I just don't trust you.

I suddenly noticed how handsome he was, although you probably can't see it.

This is like completely changing Joseon.

Looks like I need to meet him.

If Hanjo is really Park Yoon Kang, he won't be able to ignore his sister.
