(Mr. Queen: The Secret)

(This drama is fictional and all characters, organizations)

(and events are unrelated to historical events.)

In the palace, everyone has secrets.

Let us unveil...

the secrets that seem too trivial to reveal...

but provoke too much curiosity to ignore.

What are you doing?

Why are you following me quietly?

What do you mean, where is the Queen?

The Queen has not been chosen yet.

Are you looking for a queen who does not even exist...

in that weird outfit?

Darn. I got you, you punk

(The Secret of the First Encounter)

(The day before the final queen selection)

I heard that His Majesty will pass through here today.

You have been sitting here for too long.

Are your legs okay, My Lady?

I do not care as long as I can see His Majesty's face.

You are really determined.

You cannot do this.

You have not been selected yet.

If people find out that you saw His Majesty's face, my head will...

I am putting in this much effort since I have not been selected yet.

He might become my husband whom I have to live with forever.

But if he ever sees you like this...

You must hide well. You must not get caught.

You could have just said that...

the price of keeping a secret was not enough.

At times like these, I think you take after her father.

However, if I do not get to see His Majesty's face today,

you will have to pay me back double the amount.

How could you say such a thing?

He is too far away.

Get closer.

Just a bit more. Yes, closer.

- What? - Your Majesty.

There is an urgent appeal.

I see.

Why are you going that way?

Give it back. She did not get to see his face.

She still saw him from afar.

It was too far to even distinguish him from Head Eunuch.

She still saw him from afar.

Let me keep at least half of it.

Are you making a deal with My Lady?

But this is so precious.

Get me a more definite route next time.

Do not worry.

I will put together His Majesty's daily schedule...

and send it to you.

I cannot marry him without even knowing his face.

Your Majesty.

Gosh. That Head Eunuch.

I must see his face today.

Let us see who wins.

It seems we are getting further away from our intent every time.

Your Majesty. There is a royal conference.

Oh, right.

My goodness. How shameful.

What?

Is she the lady of the Kim clan who made it to the final selection?

My goodness.

I wonder which court lady will have to serve her.

She is in for a long ride.

I want to see His Majesty's face.

I am getting sick of seeing His Majesty's back.

I have seen it too much.

I always knew that you achieve whatever you put your mind to.

You are tenacious indeed.

Oh, my.

I guess some things cannot happen no matter how hard you try.

I guess His Majesty and I...

are not meant to be.

Do not say that, My Lady.

Wait here.

I will grab something to avoid the rain.

The final queen selection will be announced tomorrow.

I guess I will never know his face.

Who is this man?

Who is this woman?

For some reason...

He looks familiar.

The wound.

It is nothing.

It will get infected if it gets wet.

It is okay.

It does not hurt that much... Gosh!

You said it was okay.

I was just warming up my voice.

By the way,

have we ever met before?

I too felt that you looked familiar.

What is your name?

- My name is... - My Lady.

My Lady.

Your father found out the result of the queen selection in secret.

You have been selected.

Now, you are the Destined Highness.

Tomorrow is an important day. I must sleep.

I cannot become the Queen...

when I have fallen for another man.

But...

I cannot let all my efforts go to waste...

for a man whose name I do not even know.

I cannot believe I am the one who must serve her.

I cannot believe that is my future.

I am Court Lady Choi. I will be serving you from now on.

I am glad to make your acquaintance.

Please look kindly upon me.

Maybe I was wrong.

I was worried for nothing.

I am honored to serve you.

You should go and receive His Majesty's order.

Your Majesty. Her Destined Highness is here.

Bring her in.

So your name is...

Kim So Yong.

Your Majesty?

I hereby proclaim So Yong of the Kim clan...

as the Queen.

Congratulations on your selection.

This must be our destiny.

In the palace, everyone has secrets.

Let us unveil...

the secrets that seem too trivial to reveal...

but provoke too much curiosity to ignore.

I am sure Her Highness...

frequents this place without telling me.

The entrance is strangely covered.

(The Secret of the Competition)

Prince Yeongpyeong. You are here.

You should have told me that you were here.

I mistook you as Prince Yeongpyeong.

If this was meant to be a stakeout, then you succeeded.

Are you trying to pick a fight?

A fight?

Special Director Hong. Are you here?

Oh, you are finally here.

Kim Byeong In... I mean, Yeongpyeong... Kim...

You two settle it.

What is the head of the Department of Justice doing here?

I am here to check on the Royal Commandery Division.

I guess working for the Department of Justice is not so easy either...

if you must work on your day off.

Are you on an inspection?

He is on an inspection...

Are you really here to inspect us?

Special Director Hong.

What brings you here, Byeong In? What?

I never noticed it before, but now that you are standing together,

you look somewhat alike.

- How dare you insult me? - How dare you insult me?

We do not look alike at all.

We have different heights.

Your height? Let me see.

This sword is as level as the horizon.

We have such different appearances.

Your appearance?

The eyes.

The nose.

The mouth.

- How strange. - How strange.

56.57.

58.

59.

60...

- How strange. - How strange.

83.

84.

Keep going.

My Lady.

If you let me go so suddenly...

I did one more.

That only happened because he let go of my legs.

They hate their own kind.

Her Highness is not here either.

By the way, what are you all doing?

They are simply working out.

Look at that.

He cannot even lift it.

Now.

Actually, this is how...

you are supposed to use this thing.

This is how you use it.

Let us try something else.

I won already.

You must win twice out of three matches.

Down on all fours.

Here.

This is how you use it.

Let us compete in earnest this time.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear.

Stop it already.

You are going to break the table legs.

I have not seen such talent in a long time.

In the palace, everyone has secrets.

However, I, Court Lady Choi, do not have any secrets.

I am...

the only honest being in the palace without a secret.

Do I...

perhaps like you?

Let us unveil...

the secrets that seem too trivial to reveal...

but provoke too much curiosity to ignore.

(A Lady's Secret)

That is crazy, Your Highness.

Really? Is it worth reading?

It is not only worth reading. I just want to...

destroy the palace.

Here.

(The end)

It is finished.

This will not only seize the palace...

but all of Joseon.

"My Lady, My Lady, My Fair Lady".

Even the title is addictive.

Young court maids will go crazy.

The court maids will not be able to sleep now.

Stop it.

I only write for fun.

You should do it only for fun.

If you keep going, the palace will be destroyed.

Why do you keep saying that you will break the palace?

Anyway, I cannot do it in my own name.

So I should come up with a pen name.

What would be good?

Your Highness, are you in the room?

Come in.

Have you arrived?

I went to a general store and found a good ink stick.

It is a pine charcoal ink stick.

Thank you.

You were drawing orchids.

Yes.

My lady, my lady.

I heard it is a masterpiece that expresses the tragedy...

of the times through the life of a woman from a noble family.

Oh, I see.

O Wol.

- Make us some tea. - Yes, Your Highness.

(My Lady, My Lady, My Fair Lady)

Thanks.

- What? - Quickly.

(My Lady, My Lady, My Fair Lady)

It is so hard to find.

"Why can you not say it?"

"Why can you not say that this court lady is my court lady?"

Oh, my goodness!

"He felt her heavy breathing."

"Their faces got red soon..."

How dare you?

How can the sound of court maids' screaming be heard over the walls?

Her Highness is looking for you.

Go back to your work.

- Yes, madam. - Yes, madam.

"My Lady, My Lady, My Fair Lady"?

The title already sounds vulgar.

(Cha Eun Woo)

I only saw his name,

but it feels like my eyes are getting bright.

Let me take a look before I burn it.

(He felt her heavy breathing. Their faces got red soon.)

(Eunuch Kim and Court Maid Yi...)

Peekaboo, Court Lady Choi!

Why are you so surprised?

It is nothing.

Why... What is nothing?

- What? - What?

- What? - What?

- What? - What?

What?

Oh, right, Court Lady Choi.

I have been looking for you to give you something.

Where have you been?

Pardon?

You lost this, did you not?

Did you see it?

I see.

- Is it something I can see with? - No!

- My gosh! - It is not something you can see!

It is not...

- Thank you. - Court Lady Choi.

Goodness gracious.

Court Lady Choi!

Court Lady Choi! You dropped...

What is this?

"My Lady, My Lady, My Fair Lady" by Cha Eun Woo.

I did now know Court Lady Choi likes this kind of thing.

Her Highness does not want lunch...

as she is trying intermittent fasting.

I do not know what it is,

but it gives me a break.

Anyway, do you know what?

You are...

in here.

Take it out this instant.

I will teach him a lesson...

so he will never do such a thing again.

My chef, since when were you so pretty?

Last year?

Laughter is not the only thing I lost...

while living in this palace.

Watch out, Royal Chef.

If you reignite the fire that was dying in my heart,

the entire house will burn down.

I, Man Bok, Royal Chef,

is the best man to handle fire in all of Joseon.

Court Lady Choi.

I think I have not been taking care of you very well all this time.

I am very sorry.

I prepared some humble food for you.

I hope you enjoy it.

It is called "If it is Court Lady Choi's Ramyeon".

Here.

Try it.

You got something here.

You should...

try some too.

Shall I?

It is very good.
