Episode 9

All of this is Choi Kang Chi's fault.

Brother! Brother!

No, you can't! Tae Seo! Tae Seo!

Tae Seo! Tae Seo!

So the moment you see that bastard, Choi Kang Chi,

Kill him!

Tae Seo!

Tae Seo..

Tell me.. why?

Why?

How can you

do such terrible thing?

How?

Could you kill father like that?

You..

I will not forgive you.

Just die!!

Put down your sword.

Please, move aside.

Put down your sword first!

He's the enemy who killed my father.

Move aside!

Kang Chi!

Mister Dam.

It's alright, Kang Chi.

You'll be alright.

Come to your senses, Kang Chi!

Choi Kang Chi!

Wake up!

Choi Kang Chi!

So what, b*tch?

My name is Cheong Jo.

Not this b*tch, or that b*tch or an underling. It's Park Cheong Jo.

You are determined to put up a fight with me?

Is this your intention?

Is Choonhwagwan's number one Gisaeng's character only this shallow?

What?

Is forcing newcomers to drink alcohol and bow down to you

Choonhwagwan's number one Gisaeng's level?

You must be itching to die.

Do you have nothing to fear?

I've already traded my pride for a bowl of porridge.

I don't have any pride I need to protect.

So I definitely don't have anything to watch for.

Did you just question my character and standard?

Before that,

I'll thoroughly teach you what happens

if you bother me in any way.

First of all,

wash all those clothes, complete with applying starch,

by tomorrow morning.

You should have just endured it.

Why did you do such a thing?

He's an enemy who killed my father.

I could kill him a hundred times and it would not be enough. Why are you protecting him?

Choi Gang Chi killed Moo Sol?

What happened?

It seems to be a misunderstanding.

The one who killed Elder Park Moo Sol wasn't Choi Kang Chi. It was Jo Kwan Woong's subordinate.

What are you saying?

I saw it with my own two eyes!

That bastard Choi Kang Chi, in front of me,

Father..

My father..

Tae Seo..

Look straight into my eyes.

At that time and place, with Park Moo Sol and Choi Kang Chi,

who else was with them?

That..

Look into my eyes and answer!

Who else was there?

Father and Kang Chi..

And..

And..

Anyway,

I'm sure that Kang Chi, that bastard, killed my father.

Please believe my words.

I clearly saw it with my own eyes, Master!

It seems that right now

you're under a suggestion.

A suggestion?

Someone must have brainwashed him while he was being tortured.

Worst of all,

he was hypnotized while he was unconscious.

Then what happens, Father?

Someone who's been put under a suggestion while hypnotized

can only be released by the one who implanted the suggestion.

What if we can't find that person?

Then what happens to Young Master Tae Seo?

He'll go after Choi Gang Chi until the end.

By 'until the end'

do you mean until Kang Chi dies?

Don't you think there's too much blood flowing, Doctor?

Go bring some more squashed Cephalanoplos segetum.

Also bring a bowl of boiled ginseng root water.

Yes, brother.

Kang Chi.

Kang Chi!

Kang Chi!

Yeah?

You..

What is your dream?

Dream?

Well.. A dream, eh?

For me, together with My Lord, you, Cheong Jo,

Father, and all of the workers at the inn,

I just want to live happily with everyone here for a long long time.

Just doing that.

How about you?

To be someone like Father.

And also

being acknowledged by Father.

Since you're already getting acknowledged by your work at the inn,

then you can just get married now.

You are talking silly now.

By the way, tell me the reason.

Why do you reject all the potential marriage proposals?

Was Cheong Jo right? Are you really scared of women?

Scared? Why would I be?

Or could it be..

Do you already have someone in mind?

Oh! There is someone!

Who is it? Whose daughter?

Hey! Don't try to know too much.

Just tell me who she is!

Oh.. You're really not telling..

-No? Are you going to be keep it until the end? -Hey, get away from me.

Please, just tell me!

Park Tae Seo...

You! You are not going to . . .

I'm gonna...

Hey! ow! ow!

Oh, look here. What is this?

The dresses just did a cat wash. (The dresses barely got wet.)

After just getting them wet, can you call that laundry?

Look, this one still has stains.

This too..

That too.

What are you doing? Can't you just stop that?

Oh no. What're you going to do.

It will probably be hard to wash them again, right?

My goodness...

Those girls are so petty.

I really can't look at them anymore.

Wol Sun, that wretched girl, is determined to cause her trouble!

Just ignore it.

Life is not always sweet...

It can be hot and bitter.

You have to experience it to learn to overcome it.

Han Se.

Kang Chi.. How is he?

One of his arteries going through the rib must been badly torn.

I can't stop the bleeding.

If he keeps bleeding like that, he may not even last through the night.

♫Love comes like spring rain.♫

♫ It soaks into me. ♫

♫It melts my frozen heart.♫

♫Without a sound, it awakens me.♫

♫It's sweet. This vague feelings and fluttering heart.♫

♫Until now, I didn't seem to know♫

♫that it is love.♫

♫Love pours down like the rain. ♫

♫to let me start my life over again.♫

♫Today, and tomorrow as well♫

Reminds me of you... ♫

You can't!

You can't interfere with his fate .

Even if he turns into a divine creature or not.

Please pretend not to know and just ignore him.

How can I do that when we do know each other?

In addition, now that we'll be staying together at the academy.

Feeling are given and received between people.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

That punk said he wants to become human.

I want to help him.

Miss!

Don't worry.

He thinks I am a man.

I only want to help him as his friend.

Then, can you promise me something?

Your feelings for him will never go beyond friendship.

You will never become any more involved in his life.

Please promise me that you'll do that.

Is that alright?

But you know, monk?

In front of me, this punk is dying.

Also, seeing this punk dying,

I can't just look and do nothing.

I apologize.

Hey.

Look here, Choi Kang Chi!

Kang Chi!

It's a relief!

What are you doing to me?

What were you doing?!

Calm down. I did it so you would heal.

It's alright. Here.

You have to put this back on.

Will you give me your hand?

Kang Chi..

Kang Chi.

Give me your hand, okay?

Gon! I'm saved!

Will you help me?

He's completely healed, why are you bandaging him?

This way he won't arouse suspicion from the other students.

Some of the students already know everything about him, anyway.

That doesn't mean everyone has to know.

It's all done.

Thanks for the hard work, Gon!

Gon, wait.

You won't tell Father, right?

What do you mean?

The fact that you took off the bracelet to save his life?

Or the fact that you almost died after taking it off recklessly?

What are you saying? Almost died? Who did?

This is nothing. I just grazed the candle stand.

If ever..

because of that bastard something happens to you, Miss Yeo Wool,

at that time I will kill that bastard, Choi Kang Chi.

You must be very tired?

No. I'm not.

Follow me.

Come in.

Living as a courtesan,

can become nothing more than a lowly woman who sells alcohol and her body.

But...

I don't think of it exactly that way.

You can learn invaluable lessons.

There are many more opportunities to learn of other things.

A woman's life does not necessarily have to be living as the daughter of a noble family and behaving as custom dictates.

Women can...

have their own dreams, and succeed at them with enough effort.

My dream will come true?

Just because your family is destroyed

does not mean your life is over.

Become an entertainer.

Become an entertainer...

Live your life over again, Cheong Jo.

What do you mean by that? Choi Kang Chi disappeared?

I just went to check up on him but

he's disappeared without a trace.

Where would an injured child disappear to?

Choi Kang Chi Hyung-nim?

Do you know me?

Of course, you're famous here at the school.

Famous? Me?

Yes.

You're the first person who got stabbed the moment he came in here.

But are you alright now, although you got hurt?

Oh, well, pretty much so.

But,

what is you name?

I'm Seoung.

Right, Seoung.

Don't you have anything better to eat than potatoes?

Ahh..

We have some left over porridge.

Besides porridge.

Something a little chewier with flesh. I don't care if it has two legs or four.

As long as it has flesh.

I'm sorry but I can't touch the food in the storage room.

If Gong Dal teacher finds out I'll get in trouble.

Gong Dal teacher? Who's that?

He's in charge of housekeeping at the academy.

Person in charge of housekeeping.

I'm sure it's someone petty and overly frugal.

I understand what you're saying.

Then, can you tell me where the storage is?

I'll go get it myself.

Excuse me..

Kang Chi.

I said don't worry. I'll take care of Gong Dal or whoever!

How? How will you do it?

How? If I get caught I'll just run...

Who are you?

So you're out, Teacher.

He's Gong Dal teacher.

Huh?

This old man?

What are you doing?

I'm teaching a rude boy some manners.

If you see an elder, you should introduce your first.

How can you sit there and eat?

Look here, Elder. Do you know me, too?

When did you see.. Ah!

When you enter someone's area and say your greetings,

first, humbly you kneel down.

Aiyoo, seriously.

Second,

you bow your head.

"It's nice to meet you."

"I am so-and-so."

That's the proper manner towards the elder.

Do you understand?

What is this again?

Mr. Dam!

What are you doing here now?

Is he someone you know?

Teacher, did you sleep well?

He's a newbie who came in yesterday. His name is Choi Kang Chi.

Ei.. tsk tsk..

Where did you pick up this useless and rude dude?

I'm sorry, Teacher. I will take him out immediately.

Youngsters these days...

Aigoo.

Aigoo, my back.

What are you doing? Come out now.

Mr. Dam.

That old man, just now...

I told you to come out now!

Dam! Gently, gently!

He's a strange hyung-nim.

How does someone who was practically dead yesterday, get up and around so well like that the next day?

Why are you just standing there?

Go and prepare breakfast!

Ahh, yes, Teacher.

Hey!

You! Have you lost your mind? Or are you lacking somewhere?

Someone who was at death's door, walking around the next day! What are people going to think?

I'm hungry. What should I do? Starve to death?

You just missed the morning meal and you're starving to death?

It's not just morning meal.

I didn't get to eat starting last night.

Someone who doesn't have manners is what Teacher Gon Dal hates the most.

If you get on his bad side, your life here will become very difficult.

Did you know?

He is just a kitchen duty old man.

I just risked myself to save you.

How is it that the moment you open your mouth all I want to do is hit you?

Where does that come from? Did you learn it? Is it self taught?

Are you the one that took off my bracelet?

Since you're hungry, is your memory drying up?

Why did you do that?

I did it because I thought you'd die.

You were bleeding a lot.

After bleeding that much, they were saying you might not survive through the night.

Thank you!

Of course you should be thankful.

What?!

Thank you for saving me.

But.. don't do it next time.

When I'm not in my right mind, don't take off my bracelet.

I don't know about others,

but I don't want you to get hurt. Got it?

Seriously..

So you were here?

Oh, Gon! What happened?

The master is calling. He would like to see THAT distasteful person as well.

What? Distasteful!?!

This punk, starting in the morning..

Ah!

Starting this morning, stop causing trouble and just follow me quietly.

Duk Ji Moo Eui Chi Ji?

It means, "Manage friendship with virtue, and control wisdom with righteousness."

This is the most basic value of Moohyung Academy of Martial Arts.

How are you, Elder?

Master.

In the academy, he is called Master.

Master!

I was worried you were badly hurt.

Is your body better now?

Of course.

Well, I'm trying to endure it.

He has such healthy and strong body, and he could even chew on iron.

He must heal fast as well.

Master, young master Tae Seo has arrived.

The reason why I decided to accept the two of you in the academy

is because I had a very close relationship with Moo Sol.

However, in order for both of you to continue to stay here,

each of you has to put in a lot of effort.

If either of you are deemed to lack the qualities to stay at the academy,

I will kick you out without any hesitation.

Excuse me..

Who will be making the final decision?

Will it be you, Elder...er...Master?

A group of four will decide.

A group of four?

In our academy there are four others who are also Masters.

That group of four will watch over you two,

and decide whether to accept you guys as students.

Tae Seo..

Yes, Master.

You will have to overcome the hypnotic influence you're under.

This force to kill against your will,

you must suppress with your will power.

And you, Choi Kang Chi, be careful not to run into Tae Seo.

We don't know when or where Tae Seo might attack you.

However, that's not due to Tae Seo's intentions,

but due to an ill-cast hypnosis,

so in any situation, avoid running into Tae Seo.

Do you understand?

I asked if you understood.

Kang Chi.

So that's all that was?

Because of a pathetic hypnosis, you tried to killed me?

And now you're telling me to avoid you accordingly?

In front you, who now treats me as a foe,

you want me to hide my tail like some wimpy, idiotic dog trying to salvage its life?!

Choi Kang Chi!

I'm sorry, but I cannot do that.

I don't know how you ended up being hypnotized,

but I will not avoid you on purpose.

Do as the master tells you.

I didn't save you so it could be like this!

Just so you could fall under this pathetic hypnosis and bumble around like this,

Hwang Nyo hyung-nim and Cheong Jo didn't risk their lives to save yours.

Do you get it?

So you conquer it.

Conquer it or flick it off on your own!

Whether you stab me again or not, and whether that's due to your own will or not,

I will not avoid you.

Does that answer you, Elder?

...I mean Master?

Aish that son of a b*tch Jo Kwan Woong!

He's trying all kinds of tricks!

Hypnotic suggestion... ?!?

AyIshhh ayishh...

Ah that scared me!

What?

What are you doing, old man?

You scared me!

Go and stuff yourself!

Aigoo, my back..

my arms and my legs...

Kang Chi's more headstrong than I expected.

He has always been like that.

Once he's in his pertinacious mode, he can't look forward or back.

That's why

for this mission,

I said that he must be absent.

Let us switch locations before pursuing that topic.

Yeo Wool and you too, Gon, come with me for a while.

I drew this in a hurry.

Isn't this the floor plan of the 100 Year Inn?

This is the main entrance that faces the buildings,

this is the east entrance that also leads to the Sanseul sea,

this is the west exit that connects immediately to the outside.

And this here,

is the secret storage room.

A secret storage room?

It's where my father set aside silver coins.

In total, it's worth about 5000 nyang.

5000 nyang?

The problem is that the 5000 nyang are right under Jo Gwan Woong's feet.

Then... the mission you spoke of earlier...

... is to retrieve the 5000 nyang before Jo Gwan Woong realizes.

Aigoo...

It will take a couple days to fix the floor right here.

But...

this whole room has aged quite a bit,

and the floor coverings and wallpapers are starting to lose their adhesiveness.

It's no joke!

While you're at it, why not renovate the entire room?

How long will it take?

Yes, so what I'm saying is...

this here will be about 3-4 days...

and if I put down mud, cover it with temporary layering paper

and re-apply as much of it as I can,

it'll take at least seven to eight days!

Finish it in four days.

Yahhh?

Four... days?

Omo, I would need some overwhelming power...

It's four days.

Just get out.

Yes..

My Lord, I will bring in that Choi slave.

My Lord..

The more I look at this picture,

the more I feel the sense of dignity and grandeur.

It attracts me.

Bring that bastard Choi in.

Yes!

Bring him in!

Alright.

Have you painstakingly come to understand all your wrongdoings?

Yes... of course!

Then answer my question without fail.

I will decide whether you live or die based on the answers.

Could there be a doubt?

During Park Moo Sol's lifetime,

did he have secret assets that he deliberately set aside?

Pardon?

What are secret assets?

These are the complete asset records of Park Moo Sol,

who is known as the wealthiest person in Yeosu, no, the entire Southern province.

And all that is is just a few items listed in here?

Does that make sense?

There must be a secret ledger and hidden assets.

I don't know anything about that.

I'm the one who decides if you live or die.

So think about it well and answer me.

Inside the 100 Year Inn

Is there a secret storeroom that I don't know about?

If it exists, where is it?

Where is it?!

It would be better if you kill me, my Lord.

I really don't know anything.

I really don't know anything.

There is only 1 entrance to the secret storage room.

It is through my father's room in Gongmyunggwan.

So we have to smuggle out 5000 nyang of silver from there?

And without having Jo Kwan Woong discovering it while doing so?

Without this asset, all the Admiral's plans will fail.

If that happens, there will be a tremendous negative impact to our naval strategy.

By any chance, do you have a plan in mind?

Master, Mr. Chun, the carpenter of Moondang town, is here.

It's alright.

He's someone who knows about this plan.

Let him in.

I'm here, Elder.

In the next few days, Jo Kwan Goong

will be calling someone to repair the floor.

The floor?

Please scout the best carpenter in town.

So, what happened?

Has Jo Kwan Woong really contacted you?

It's not just that,

he even ordered renovating the entire floor.

I'm on the way from there.

When will you start the construction?

Starting tonight but...

I don't have more than 4 days' time.

Could you possibly be planning on taking the silver out within those 4 days?

Even though the we don't have as much time as we would like,

whatever happens, all we can do is try.

Can I trust you?

I, definitely, for the past ten years

have received much grace from Lord Park Moo Sol.

Even though I am of the low class, at least I know how to repay his kindness.

But..

how did you know he would be calling someone to repair the floor?

It's all thanks to that child, Choi Kang Chi.

Yes?

Choi Kang Chi?

That child, Choi Kang Chi, in front of Jo Kwan Woong,

didn't he stab that broom handle through the floor?

It may sound strange, but for some reason, I keep feeling that that child, Kang Chi,

will change the odds in our favor.

Can you trust him, my Lord?

Didn't he say he wants to become human?

In this world full of humans who give up their humanity,

in this world, where greed and deceit are the norm,

corruption, decay and entrapment are becoming standard.

In such a rotten world,

he is sincerely dreaming of becoming a human being.

What is the "human being" that he is dreaming of?

Are you not curious?

It's food!

Hey, you!

We were worried when you suddenly disappeared. What happened to you?

Did the bleeding stop? Is your body alright?

Do you.. know me?

I'm the person that was treating your wound.

Ah, I am indebted to you!

Even though I am not completely healed yet.

In spite of that, you have recovered really well.

I didn't expect you to come out of coma for a few days.

Isn't it because you treated me so well?

The newcomer's seat is at the end.

Your meal is at the end of the table.

Is that it?

Then, eat well.

What's this?

Alright, everyone, let's eat.

We will eat well.

Kang Chi Hyungnim.

Why aren't you eating?

Do you have an upset stomach?

Are you joking?

Don't you see there is nothing to eat?

Since you're probably not fully healed, they thought porridge would be better for you.

Who said such a nonsense?

What horrible person did...

Teacher Gong Dal said so...

Gong Dal?

This rotten old man!!!!!

I thought you only have no manners with people,

but it seems you don't respect food as well.

After giving a healthy young man some pathetic porridge with soy sauce,

you, old man, are stuffing yourself with meat all day long!

Is that the "respect for food" that you are referring to?

Even though this world has become harsh,

how can you discriminate with food?

You punk, are you sure you're human?

What?

No matter how strong you are, there's no way a person can heal that fast.

You must not be a human.

Watch what you say!

If you keep provoking me, I may just hit you head on.

You can't even reach the bottom of my broom.

You are just all talk!

I am really going to break that broom in half!

Yeah?

Go ahead and try it!

If you really can do it, then my chicken over here,

you can eat it all.

There's no going back on your word!

I don't hold back in front of food.

You talk too much, young man.

What are you doing?

Why is the broom that you were going to break in half

still in my hand?

This old man..

What are you exactly?

Teacher Gong Dal of the kitchen.

You are not just a kitchen worker.

What is your real identity?

My other title is . . .

one of the four Masters of Moohyung Academy of Martial Arts.

Namely, the one with the symbol of bamboo,

also known as Master Jook Dal.

Aghassi Yeo Wool,

we're waiting for you.

Oh.

I'm coming now.

I apologize for being late.

But where is Kang Chi?

Kang Chi will be excluded from this mission.

Master has agreed to it.

Still Kang Chi is the person best acquainted with the 100 Year Inn.

But he is so stubborn and does everything his own way

that he could cause this mission to fail.

To be honest, I..

also have doubts

about Lady Yeo Wool's coming with us.

Me? Why?

It could be for you,

too dangerous.

By chance do you

think of me as a woman?

Lady Yeo Wool...

Just because I'm a woman,

because I'm a woman, if I can't do anything to help the Admiral,

I think it would be too unfair, Young Master Tae Seo.

I am sorry.

If I hurt your feelings...

Kang Chi will feel the same way, too.

He's stubborn and wayward,

but he would have wanted to help with the mission no matter what.

I might not know how it is to receive a hypnotic suggestion,

but just for that,

it would be nice if you don't lose a good friend.

Yah, you brat!

Rub a little harder!

What are you saving your strength for?

After starving me this morning, isn't this a little too much?

You...

Do you not want to stay in this academy?

Isn't there anything else you need, Teacher Gong Dal?

Never mind.

You..

Why don't we have a bet?

A bet?

You...

I heard you and the Admiral have a close relationship.

Is that true?

Can we just call it 'close'?

If he were willing to give up his admiral's position to save my life,

we are beyond just close!

If that is so,

then please bring me proof.

Proof?

The proof

that you and the Admiral are close.

Have you been lied to your whole life? Is proof really needed here...

So...

that thing about being close, that was a lie,

wasn't it?

That really IS true!

Fine! I'll bring it!

I'll bring it, but in return,

you have to grant ME one wish, too, alright?!

What if you can't bring it?

Then you will be permanently expelled from this academy.

What do you think?

Why? You don't

have confidence?

What is the proof that you want?

I am here.

My lord,

the sun is still in high in the sky; what brings you here?

Floor work will start today at Gongmyunggwan.

During those days

I was thinking of staying here.

What are you waiting for?

Prepare a table for drinking and start the entertainment.

Yeahh...

My lord, we should go inside, yes?

Stop.

Such beauty like the moon and a flower.

Let's go! Hurry!

Ah...

Stop right there.

Ahh, yeah. My lord.

What

is this?

Ahh, yeah...

There will be so much dust and noise.

So I put that up as a preventative measure.

What are you all doing? Start working!

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Oy, you're just getting here?

Aigoo.. This, this..

How can you take me out of such grand mission?

I feel so left out.

What are you doing here?

Did Father send you?

No.

The Master probably doesn't know I'm here.

You didn't even get permission but just came on your own?

There is a reason and situation for it, so...

What can I do to help?

This time, this isn't something you can just choose to be part of.

So just go back.

Why aren't you answering?

I told you to go back!

What are you doing?

Like you always say, where's your common sense?

His forehead's burning up!

Aren't you neglecting your duties?

What's wrong? Do you have a cold?

You don't need to worry.

It's nothing.

What do you mean it's nothing? You're totally burning up!

I told you not to touch her.

Why are you overreacting?

Why, are you ashamed because I realized Young Master Dam's condition before you did?

I tried to hold back but you are just too annoying!

If you are embarrassed you should quietly reflect on yourself.

Why are you being mad at someone else?

What are you guys doing?

Did you forget where we are?

Let go of each other.

I told you guy to let go right now!

Aigo, my lord.

Why are you going to that room?

Oh boy, oh boy, my lord.

I am about to tear that room apart so it's really messy in there.

There's something I need to confirm. Get out of the way.

I'm sorry.

I was tying to move out of your way.

Oh man.

I am so sorry.

Why don't you pass by first?

He is one of my workers.

But why is that painting still up there?

Excuse me?

It's a painting that the lord values,

I don't want it to be damaged during the construction.

Take it down immediately.

What?

What was that noise?

Just now, I thought I heard someone!

What? I didn't hear anything?

Did you hear anything?

Move out of the way.

Didn't you hear me, move out of the way!

♫ Love blows our way as we bend towards the sunlight.

♫ As I look at you, our eyes lock as we are beneath the same sky.

Preview - Episode 10

What did you say? Yeo Wool and Kang Chi are trapped together?

Hey, Mr. Dam, are you really all right?

Yeo Wool; it's Yeo Wool... my name.

Did you say this is Park Mu Sol's secret storage room?

Bring me all the information related to the 5000 nyang.

If you don't, your sister will pay the price.

How did this end in such a pitiful failure?

It's too early to give up.

What are you talking about?

Alright...

So should we start?
