Let's never see each other again. Farewell.

Please apare my life. Spare me.

Hyungnim.

Episode 5

- One, two!

Please take this.

Where is he?

Are you sure he's on this ship?

- That's him there! - Be patient.

Hey, Young Master Nak Cheon.

Welcome to Hanyang.

I missed you, punk!

This face is... not his face.

They said he almost died. Maybe he was reincarnated. You are really rejuvenated.

Where is Nak Cheon?

So you're the famous Seo No?

Dong Jeok Jeon

-What? - I didn't know it was this place. I didn't know. Please don't kill me.

Come with me. Come.

How dare you come here?

Stop, didn't you just see that bastard being dragged away? This is His Majesty's hunting ground.

You cannot come in without permission. Go back right now!

Will you disobey the royal command?

Goodness, how can you say such a scary thing? Oh, these legs!

My legs are giving me trouble. I don't know why I came this way.

This is the king's land? It belongs to you, Hyungnim?

I will tear your world to shreds.

I will also take your throne.

10th year of Yeon San's reign

Your Majesty, we are missing the black hemp, amphibole, and a white, undecorated fan. (Jang Nok Soo)

What happened? Didn't I ask you to have it ready by today?

I am deeply sorrry, Your Majesty. Since it's the monsoon season, (Im Sa Hong, Chief Royal Secretary, 3rd senior rank)

the ships transporting tributes have not arrived yet in Hanyang.

Then, keeping seasonal changes in mind, you should have prepared in advance.

Any earlier would be difficult. It's a busy farming season and the people are facing a difficult farming period. (Seong Hee An, Deputy Minister of Personnel and Capital Defense Commander, 2nd Senior Rank

Then, how about you all?

Is it farming season and are you facing farming difficulties as well?

Here, you wear this. I have worn this for too long.

Y-Your Majesty, please take back the royal command.

I have been a little remiss with you lately.

Here is a gift so that we can get along again.

I heard your granddaughter is getting married next month.

Your kindness is overwhelming for remembering it.

Let's give this too.

Here, add it to the dowry.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty!

Immeasurable! Immeasurable!

Don't just say it,

If you really think my grace is immeasurable, you should show sincerity as well!

Your Majesty.

It seems like he's having a relapse.

I wonder how long it will last this time.

Prime Minister, do you have any words for us? Sin Soo Geun, Prime Minister, Senior First Rank

I would like to hear your esteemed opinion on how to show our sincerity to satisfy His Majesty. [Park Won Jong, Capital Defense Assistant Commander, 2nd Junior Rank]

He will be back to himself eventually... just like every other time.

Where is it?

Move aside, move.

Move aside, move aside.

Let me go! Won't you let me go, you wenches! Let go!

Let go, you wenches!! [Deposed Lady Yoon]

You will become the king of this nation.

You should always be neat.

- Your Majesty's mother didn't die from disease. [Lady Shin of Goryung-gun, Yoong's maternal grandmother]

She was killed. Your Majesty.

Hurry, unnies.

Over here!

Over here!

My Lord! My Lord!

♫ If I told you that I love you, ♫

It can't be, I must be mistaken.

♫ Would you tell me that you love me too? ♫

Oh, ♫ Baby, would you? ♫

Y-Your Majesty.

♫ If tomorrow I blow you a kiss ♫

♫ Would you say please give me some more of this? ♫

♫ Would you? ♫

My Lord! My Lord!

♫ Every day when I open my eyes ♫

♫ It is you that I see in my mind ♫

My Lord!

♫ It's you ♫

♫ but I know that you'll never love me ♫

♫ the way that I love you baby, baby ♫

♫ no matter what I do ♫

♫ And baby you ♫

♫ you are the light in my eyes ♫

♫ there's nothing that I wouldn't try ♫

♫ and I want to tell you so much that I just can't hide ♫

♫ And I guess I'm right ♫

Y-Your Majesty.

Who are you? How do you know me?

I-It's me. Chae Gyeong, Your Majesty.

♫ but I know that you'll never love me ♫

♫ the way that I love you baby, baby ♫

♫ no matter how hard I try ♫

Auntie, please give us 2 rice soups.

Come and have a seat.

Is this normal? Whenever I come to Hanyang, I meet Your Majesty on the streets and not the palace.

It's more likely that whenever I am incognito on the streets, you come to Hanyang.

Oh my. What's all that on your face?

Oh, this.

I am trying to spread a rumor that I am ugly. I don't want to get married.

Without having to try so hard, you have a face that will take you a long time to get married.

When I have such a face, how come you didn't recognize me at first glance?

Because you are way too ugly.

I understand. Since you adore me that much, I will escort you well today.

Do you know what my plans are?

How wouldn't I know? I know it all. Do you want to bet on it?

You will have to wager your life.

Would I try if I wasn't prepared to do that?

As you wish. In return, don't call me "Hyungnim." ( "Older Brother" usually said by younger brother).

Let's go together, Orabeoni. ("Older brother" term for younger sisters).

♫ You approached silently ♫

It's been so long since he got scolded by Her Highness the Queen Dowager, yet he's still not over it?

If you keep acting up, I won't give you this.

That's-

If you hurt someone, you should apologize.

Are all men in Hanyang like you, Young Master?

Tuna, squid, dried yellow corvina.

Hey Miss, buy some dried yellow corvina.

♫ I can't stand the longing now which is growing so ♫

Alright, Miss. Two nyang.

What kind of rice cake do you like? Honey-filled rice cake?

♫ Even though I don't want to go, I must leave ♫

Where do you see it scratched? Where is the scratch? ♫ I know now that I can't live without you ♫

Just give me this for free.

Just leave, I used to sell this for three nyang. ♫ Don't go away. ♫

♫ I won't be able to see you again. ♫

Hurry, hurry. ♫ I love you once again ♫

Stop right there!

I will give it to you for cheap price. One nyang five poon.

Oh, should we buy some jujubes as well?

This looks like your face.

What's the matter?

I was wondering if there are gold specks on your face.

Why are you being like this?

Just because, I tried copying you.

Excuse me, is it true that you will trade for a sack of rice?

But what can I trade for rice?

I brought a set of brass utensils.

We don't need things like brass.

We only deal with information.

First, tell me your name and affiliation.

What we need depends on the person. As does the amount of rice we exchange.

Me. I just work as a servant for a noble family.

Oh, it's a very desirable position.

Here. Come on in.

Come in.

That way.

Oh!

- From which noble family? What work do you do there? [Confidential Private Lives of the Capital]

Well, I am a servant at Scholar Yoon's household.

All right, Yoon's.

My Lord, My Lord. It's this simple?

Then should I complicate things?

No, I am just thankful.

Here, my Lord.

Thank you for the useful information.

I will bring all the servants from this neighborhood.

Thank you. Thank you.

Wait outside.

Oh, I am going.

Could you, could you be the person who was supposed to come today?

I think so too. She's pretty.

Yes, I should have introduced myself earlier. I'm—

Let's do the introductions inside.

There might be customers coming.

How did she know about that place?

I don't know.

Who are you?

She's acting like she's the mistress of the house.

Young Lady. I have long heard about you but since this is our first time meeting in person,

let's keep our manners.

I don't understand why every single Joseon scholar quibbles over manners.

Don't you know who I am?

I never expected you to be this pretty...

This headstrong...

I never expected that.

I am Seo No.

Oh my.

Look here.

This was what I was owed.

Orabeoni Nak Cheon almost died because of him.

One would rather wish for death than the hell he experienced.

This slap is nothing in comparison.

You have to pay back your debt even in death.

I will keep that in mind.

Well, now greetings are done with,

I have introduced myself.

However, where is Orabeoni Nak Cheon?

Royal command? It's a royal command?

I will no longer follow Hyngnim's Joseon.

Auntie. Please give me two rice soups.

We are closed for business today.

Let's go to another place.

You have full access to the kitchen, but don't break things.

I understand.

Orabeoni.

It reminds me of our first meeting.

Can I trust this tavern owner?

So what if she's a robber? I will save you again and ask for another wish.

Orabeoni, please open the door.

Memorial Tablet of the Deposed Lady Yoon

If it's Your Majesty's mother,

she's also like a mother to me.

Memorial Tablet of the Grand Prince Jin Seong Lee Yeok

Like my mother's death wasn't my fault,

Yeok's death wasn't your fault either.

If you want to blame yourself, resent him instead.

for leaving at such a young age.

Why he left you behind.

So, do you resent her?

You just miss her.

You heard him.

His Majesty misses his mother.

Yeok,

Chae Gyeong misses you.

It worked out well.

What we are embarrassed to say out loud, we said to each other instead.

It's nice to have a family. Don't you think so?

To me, family is...

just a ball of fire.

I can't swallow it nor spit it out,

It torments me persistently.

I was running away from them my whole life,

and look at me now. Barely performing memorial rites in hiding.

You can become a good and wise king.

A good and wise king?

Yes.

If you become a good and wise king,

you will be confident in front of the late king's grave.

One day, in front of all the civil and military officials of the court, with your mother's memorial tablet for all to see,

you'll be able to perform memorial rites.

The late Grand Prince will also be proud of Your Majesty.

Do you remember?

- This is— -Yes.

The Grand Prince bought it as a gift for you.

This salamander is the king of ditches. He reigns over the rain.

However, this salamander has lost its mind. So three southern provinces are flooded...

Don't just smile. Show your power.

If you want to become a good and wise king, you have to master the heaven first.

Aren't I right?

Grand Prince.

Your Highness the Grand Prince.

You're not.

You're not a ghost, you're a person.

I thought.

Oh, wait...

- By chance— - No.

How can you say no right away when I haven't asked the question?

Did you have dinner?

Food served at the memorial rite is supposed to be shared.

Can you not go? Can you not go?

It's alright. Please eat.

Today is the death anniversary of someone precious to me.

You look like him.

Even as a ghost, can't he come see me once?

Even if you're a ghost, I won't be scared. If you're here, can you talk to me?

Can you at least make a sound?

Don't mock the deceased.

I don't think the person died so you could play the reminiscing game.

How can you put it that way?

Reminiscing game? Mock?

What do you know?

Then, what do you know?

The mind of the deceased? His pain? His suffering?

What exactly do you know?

What's going on?

Wife.

Be loyal to your new lover.

Don't be undignified and socialize with anyone.

Still, if you call me "wife" all of a sudden, how will I marry?

Just a couple hours ago, you said you didn't want to get married.

There is a huge difference between refusing to marry and being unable to marry.

Are you finished with the meal?

I can't eat this. I get sick if I do.

You too?

Is there another person who can't eat this?

Let's see.

Yeok didn't eat this saying that he was copying me.

♫ You approached silently ♫

♫ You smiled at me while offering your hand ♫

♫ The time we spent together ♫

♫ Is going far away like a dream ♫

♫ I can't stand the longing now which is growing so ♫

Orabeoni Nak Cheon?

Myeong Hye.

Why? Are you being followed?

♫ Why didn't I know loving would be that? ♫

No, it's just...

I guess it has become a habit.

♫ Must I leave?

♫ I know now that I can't live without you ♫

Chae Gyeong. ♫ I know now that I can't live without you ♫

What is it?

It's nothing.

♫ So I will be able to see you again. ♫

♫ I love you once again ♫

Pawn shop

For the 5 brothers who have finally come together. Cheers!

Cheers.

Who says five brothers?

Our social status, gender, and personality are all different.

View it with your heart. Your heart.

Does your heart have eyes?

Treat these two black things as eyes.

Mine are rosy pink.

Gwang Oh, you don't look it.

But if you think about it, he's actually a perverted scholar.

Hey, give back all erotic picture books you took from me. Where is it? Is it here?

Guys, guys. Stop it and drink.

Ah, this is nice.

What happened to your hand?

Oh, it's nothing.

Give me your hand.

Don't forget.

Your body belongs to me.

You're my savior, not my master.

Let's have another cup.

Chae Gyeong!

You! Where have you been till now?

What did you do by yourself after leaving the nanny behind?

Mother.

I thought something happened to you.

What would happen to me?

You always create trouble at this time of the year. Of course, your mother would be worried.

I am sorry.

It's fine if you're all right.

Father.

You didn't run into any trouble?

Then, it's fine.

Give me the broom!

Oh, my. Ma'am. Ma'am. I will take good care of it.

Oh my goodness! Come here!

Get her quickly! Goodness!

Ma'am! Ma'am! Just a moment!

It's all fine. But if you're going somewhere, please go with me.

Whenever you're like this, I feel like I will die earlier than my allotted lifespan.

I wonder if I became a nanny to go through this.

What is that?

A trace the ghost left behind.

Ghost?

Yeah.

I decided to believe in ghosts.

If not, it can't be explained.

This,

and this as well.

Here. Can you feel it?

Yes. Young Miss, before it's too late,

hurry and get married. When you get older, this is the first place to sag.

- What happened to your chest? Where did it go? - Nanny!

You have a while to go.

Where are you going now?

She's undignified. Seriously.

I am still in my prime.

Yeok didn't eat this saying he was copying me.

He should have died already.

What a fighter. Exactly what do you feel so wronged about

that you would clench your fist and endure?

Just leave. Resentment and blame are all futile.

I...I can't leave.

Save... please just save me.

I'll survive and... King...

I'll...

become King.

I'll become King.

Orabeoni! Orabeoni!

I can't breathe!

My cane! Cane!

Nak Cheon

I can't walk.

I can't feel my legs.

I can't walk. I can't feel my legs. I can't walk...

No, no!

No! I won't die! I won't die!

Please save me...

Please save me, Chae Gyeong!

I'll definitely return. No matter what.

Just wait.

Just wait, Chae Gyeong.

I want to know about Sin Chae Gyeong.

And, after tonight,

I never want to hear her name again.

It's not difficult for me to tell you.

however, it'll be hard for him to erase Young Lady Chae Gyeong completely.

I know that you healed his wounds, allowed him to walk again, and saved his life.

but he wouldn't have just survived due to your care, My Lady Myeong.

There must have been a deeper and a more desperate reason.

Nonsense. The power that allows people to survive is ambition

and the power that saved him was his will for revenge against the King.

Love or the heart, don't think of shaking up my orabeoni with those innocent words.

If you do,

you'll die by my hand.

It was these men?

I don't know where they came from but only a few of my men and I were able to swim to save ourselves.

and they took all of the items.

I'll give you 10 days.

Whether it's the stolen objects or their heads, bring it to me.

If you fail, both you and your family members will have to give up your heads in 10 days' time.

Understood.

Request His Majesty the King to deliver a message.

Are you planning to collect royal offerings again?

His Majesty's coffers aren't full.

You also need a new hairpin,

so there's no other choice but to request him to order offerings from Gyeongsang-do, Jeolla-do, and even Tamra.

By the way, I'm worried about the food to be used for my grandson's first birthday celebration.

Your Majesty, I heard from the Chief Royal Secretary earlier—

Three southern provinces are suffering from serious flood damage?

Yes, the ship that carried the royal offerings meant for you also sank.

I think you should send out another message—

Do you know why the flood occurred?

Everyone is saying the Salamander lost his mind.

I must host a council meeting tomorrow.

When you become a good and wise King,

you'll be confident even in front of the late King's tomb.

One day, in front of all the civil and military officials of the court,

with your mother's memorial tablet for all to see, you'll be able to perform memorial rites

We greet His Majesty, the King.

Bow to the King four times.

Bow. Rise. Bow. Rise.

Cabinet members, start giving your reports.

The Royal Investigative Bureau reporting.

Extent of flood damage in three southern provinces

is unprecedented, please send -Minister Seong.

a Royal Inspector to help relieve the people's suffering. - I came unprepared because he's suddenly holding a Court Session.

Were you able to prepare something to demonstrate your sincerity?

I didn't have enough time.

Ministers.

Due to the flood in Gyeongsang-do, the stored food supply has decreased, citizens were injured,

I heard 400 houses were buried in the sand or floated away in the flood.

Please record the number of people who died from being crushed to death or drowning and the number of houses lost in the flood in detail.

Take proper measures to ensure the citizens don't encounter any more difficulties.

Your Majesty's grace knows no bound.

Minister Seong. Why is His Majesty being like this suddenly?

- Thank you for working hard in this heat. - I am honored.

Exactly why is he doing something he's never done?!

The majority of the ministers looked taken aback as well.

These past couple of months, he was busy going out of the palace. He never paid any attention to state affairs.

Your Highness the Queen Dowager. Queen Dowager Ja Soon

What is it?

Capital Defense Assistant Commander's niece Young Lady Yoon would like to see you.

It seems Myeong Hye is here, Your Highness the Queen Dowager.

Let her in.

My future daughter-in-law is here?

Greetings, Your Highness. Yoon Myeong Hye, Park Won Jong's maternal niece

Is Yeok doing well? He's not sick?

Yes, he's fine.

Then why did Yeok send you to the palace? He always made sure you were cautious.

When the Grand Prince rode the government ship to travel from the three southern provinces,

that ship was carrying royal offerings and bribes

for the King, Chief Royal Secretary, and Royal Concubine Jang.

Therefore, he stole the items

and asked me to monitor the Chief Royal Secretary's side's movements.

Is it a good idea to get involved with the Chief Royal Secretary's faction as soon as he's back?

Don't worry too much, Your Highness the Queen Dowager.

Most of the goods are bribes from the provincial officials,

so the Chief Royal Secretary's side won't be able to publicly investigate the case.

Since the king has even deployed the Royal Inspector to relieve flood damage in three southern provinces,

it seems they won't be able to avoid the interest in the stolen royal offerings.

Royal Inspector to the three southern provinces?

I don't know what has gotten into him all of a sudden. He's trying to play the good and wise king.

Hyungnim, you're quite respectable.

Mapo, Gwacheon, Pocheon, Gimpo...

Goodness, half of all of Gyeonggi's land belongs to you.

You took control of all bodies of water and even banned people from fishing.

and why do you visit the gisaeng houses so often?

What's going on, Wife?

Tavern at 3-way intersection,

the King and Sin Chae Gyeong.

- Is this the place? -Yes.

According to what that tavern owner said yesterday, they'll give you a bag of rice for information.

Then, that means they should have valuable information.

No matter how much information they know, you can't expect them to know a ghost.

I can just ask them then. Nanny, wait here.

Goodness, I don't know anymore!

Young Lady! Use it if a ghost pops out. Ba-ba-ba bam! It's adzuki beans.

I heard that you'll hand out rice for information.

Then, you'll hand me information for rice, right?

Pardon?

There's something I must figure out! Please just let me meet the owner first!

The owner isn't in right now!

- No - I will come out after just asking a single question.

I said you can't! Hey, stop!

What are you doing?!

Fine, fine, I won't peek.

First, sit down. I have much to talk about.

Are you the owner of this pawn shop?

Yes, I am.

Is it true that you know everything that goes on in the capital?

What are you curious about?

By any chance, can you find a ghost too?

A ghost?

I don't mind if he's a ghost now. Can't you find him for me? No, a person.

A person?

No, a ghost!

Are you looking for a person or a ghost? Pick one.

How can I pick just one?

I don't even know if I've fallen for a person or a ghost.

Would a person who's been bewitched by a ghost be able to differentiate between the living and the dead?

She's looking for me.

Anyway, you're looking for a man.

Yes, it's a relief. That's what I also think.

I think that it's a relief the ghost came to me using a man's body.

Did you just laugh?

N-no, I didn't laugh. My breathing is just loud.

Continue.

So, what happened is...

you know the tavern located on the 3-way intersection in the marketplace, right? A few days ago,

I happened to go there and met a man coming out of the next room,

but h-he looked exactly like my f-friend who died from an accident when I was young!

His eyes, mouth, v-voice, and even habits were the same!

Of course I have never seen my friend as an adult

but he looks exactly like how I imagined him to be—

Are you listening to me right now?

Look here, pimp!

Pimp? How can you call me a "pimp"? How do I look like a pimp?!

If you're the pawn shop owner, it's "pimp"—

Wait a minute.

Subtitles brought to you by The History Tellers @ Viki

You!

It's happening again.

Don't listen. You can't.

What are you doing right now? Leave right now.

Why are you causing a fuss after coming all the way here?

I told you everything earlier.

I...a ghost..you bewitched me.

That's none of my business. Get lost right now.

Then why do you resemble him? Out of all people, why do you resemble him?

You, exactly who are you?

You're His Highness the Grand Prince, aren't you?

No.

If you're not him, then why do you keep catching my eye?

Why do you keep making my heart pound?

Is that my fault? It's your fault for being easy and indecent.

A woman with a husband comes here to find another man?

You embrace him and talk about whether your heart is pounding or not while flirting with any man!

- Go! - Ouch!

Leave! Leave! You are a ghost!

If you're human, you can't do this.

You are a ghost! Disappear, leave immediately!

What are you doing?!

Is this what you wanted?

Do women these days find their potential husbands like this?

Is throwing yourself onto a strange man using the excuse of a ghost your strategy?

If you don't want to have regrets, let go of this hand.

Regret is something humans do. Ghosts don't regret.

♫ As much as my heart aches, I want to embrace you. ♫

♫ I don't want the wind to blow because I might fly away. ♫

♫ Your smile ♫

Queen for Seven Days

Am I that charming?

Enough for the daughter of noble family to not know embarrassment and come onto me?

We need to take extreme measures

I ended up doing something I shouldn't have done.

Because I am furious that while I was going through hell, she became close to none other than my brother.

I saw someone who resembled His Highness the Grand Prince.

He resembled him so much—

I must see him with my own eyes.

If you can't cut her out of your life, I'll have to do it.

I can't believe I have to use such cowardly tactics to catch you.

The Grand Prince Jin Seong who liked you is gone now.

I don't know why my tears are falling like this.

♫ I love you ♫
