APRIL 28TH, 2022
DAY OFF

-What is it?
-Jeez. You startled me.

What do you mean? I was just…

I was just passing by.

And I came in.

What is it? Did something happen?

No. Leave.

If nothing's up,
let's just drink together.

There's no need to advertise to the world
that you have no friends.

Stop acting like we're friends.

I'm not in the mood.

Don't be like that.
Let's just have a drink together.

What do you think we are?

Well, you know. The same team?
A boss and a subordinate?

So you do know. That's the line.

So stop trying to cross it.

It's off-putting.

Off-putting…

That's way too harsh.

I'm worried about you, that's why.

It's freezing and you're here drinking
with nothing but…

Stop bothering me and get lost, will you?

Fine. I'm going.

I'll get lost.

I was just worried, that's all.

You just had to hurt my feelings.

She sure drank a lot.

I…

I don't want…

tomorrow to come.

I think the afterworld is too harsh
on people who took their own lives.

The first punishment.

The breaking of the threads of fate.

You know what?

Unless they break that thread themselves,

they will meet that person again,
no matter how many times you are reborn.

By breaking the thread themselves…

do you mean suicide?

TOMORROW EP.11 WINDFLOWER

EPISODE 14

Are you going somewhere?

It's my day off.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to see a friend.

But you don't have friends.
I thought they all passed away.

I do too.

Just be honest with me.
What are you going to do?

I told you, I'm going to see a friend.

KOO RYEON

MEASURING NEGATIVE ENERGY LEVELS

KOO RYEON

What…

Come on!

Why are you so surprised?
Were you thinking about me?

No.

But…

what's with your outfit?
Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to the department store.
I heard the new season's in.

And see your mother too
while you're there?

Yes.

But did something happen?
What's with that look on your face?

I just checked
Ms. Koo's Negative Energy Level,

and it was 100 percent.

Today must be her day off.

-Sorry?
-Reapers get only one day off every year.

The day they died.

Of course she'd be in a bad mood.

After all, how many people had
a happy death?

You can't, my lady.

My lady.

My lady!

You seem to have a good life.

You know, don't you?

If you ask me that so out of the blue,

how am I supposed to know what to say?

I can see that Ms. Koo
is having a hard time,

but I don't think she'll ever tell me why.

Shouldering someone else's pain
is not an easy thing to do.

Especially more so
if you're close to them.

Ryeon knows that, which must be why
she doesn't want to talk about it.

She killed herself, right?

Yes.

And it's related to Mr. Park?

You. Why were you there?

No. Why was I there?

Where?

In my nightmares.

You sent Ms. Koo to the Escort Team,

then had her manage
the Risk Management Team.

Why did you do that?

What's your reason?

You are still the same as ever.

"Same as ever"?

Ma'am!

What is Ryeon to you, exactly?

-Sorry?
-Answer me.

At first, she was just cold.

Are you insane?

Why are you trying to dive
into the Han River?

Don't say anything or ask anything,
and just pretend you're not here.

And she was hard to approach.

And now?

Now…

Woo-jin!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Thank you so much.

I admire her.

I want to be like her sometimes too.

I want to help her.

To the best of my abilities.

I see you are now ready
to look into Ryeon's pain.

I sincerely hope you can handle it.

ABOUT 400 YEARS AGO

I told you, there's no need for that.
You can go.

No, my lady.

Your father told me to stay by your side
and keep an eye on you, no matter what.

And I'm saying whatever it is
you are worried about won't happen,

so don't worry.

Please. I'm not falling for that again.

I'd sooner trust a passing dog or a pig
than trust you.

-What?
-What?

I'm sorry, my lady.

It's fine.

This is because I haven't given you
enough reason to trust me.

It's all my fault.

My lady.

Gosh. My lady.

I nodded off again.

My lady, not again!

You shall be my target today.

Do you have a death wish?

I'm sorry, sir!

I'm sorry, young master.
My son has committed a grave atrocity.

Please, spare our lives!

Low-lives like you have no business
being here.

-I shall turn both of you in immediately--
-You are being too harsh.

Put away your sword.

To draw your sword at them
when they are not even armed.

You are no better than a beast.

What did you say?

My lady…

I suppose there is little meaning
in arresting these bottom-feeders.

If I catch you again,
I will have your heads.

Thank you, my lady.

-Hello, sir.
-Good morning.

-Bye, mom!
-Be careful.

-Good morning.
-Hi.

-Goodness.
-Hello.

-Hello!
-Hi!

-Goodness, hello there!
-Hello!

-Hey!
-Hello.

Good morning.

-Hey!
-How are you?

-Have a good day.
-Yes.

Please don't touch that.

They may look like any other flower,

but these are the roots
of a highly poisonous plant.

It can kill even a horse or a cow.

Really?

My lady, this tastes best
while it's still warm.

Please, enjoy.

I don't know if I could.

I didn't catch even a single rabbit today.

Gosh, there's no need for that anymore.

You have already repaid us
for the medicine.

-You don't have to come here anymore.
-What are you saying?

I still have a long way to go
to repay you.

When that snake bit me during my hunt,
I was on the verge of death.

You were the one who brought me here.

Thanks to you,
I am still alive and breathing today.

That is not something
you can put a price to.

Not even a lifetime is enough time
to repay you.

You've given us more than enough.

The way you don't look down on us

and treat us like people is plenty enough.

I only worry
that you'll hurt yourself, my lady.

Do not worry.

And thank you for the food.

To draw your sword at them
when they are not even armed.

You are no better than a beast.

What happened?

My leg…

This will hurt.

What are you doing?

-What?
-You…

Grandpa!

Are you all right, sir?

Had you arrived any later,

you would not have survived.

Just know it's all thanks to Lady Ryeon.

It's because she said
we must save you no matter what.

She said all lives are valuable
and precious.

You will be able to stand in a few days.

Thank you.

I believe it is she
who deserves your gratitude.

Look, I caught a pheasant!

We finally meet again.

Thank you.

I only saved you to stay true to my word.

Law cannot exist without people.

We are all the same people.

Yes.

I, too, am a person.

How are you?

Thanks to you, I am all better.
Enough to hunt.

No wonder there weren't any pheasants
in the woods today.

Are the two of you planning to
make all of our stomachs explode?

If that were my plan,
I would have caught a boar instead.

Are you sure that will be enough?

I shall bring back a tiger next time.

Goodness.

We need to have tigers
in the mountains to protect us.

What do you mean?

Well, I heard that
the barbarians of the north

have crossed the Amnok River
and are plundering and pillaging villages.

Should a war break out,

commoners like us
would be the first to die, no?

I heard my father talking about this too.

He said Later Jin's endless
and exorbitant demands

are causing a big stir in the Court.

Goodness.

With our national defenses so weak…

It's because this country

only values civil officials
and has no respect for the military.

It is a shame.

Well, I should get going.

My lady, I am Jung-gil,
the eldest son of Park Won-sik.

May I have the honor of knowing your name?

My name is

Koo Ryeon.

With our national defenses so weak…

It's because this country

only values civil officials
and has no respect for the military.

What do you mean I'm to be married?

But this is so sudden…

You are of age to marry.

And there have been talks of your match
with this family even before your birth.

Father!

He is a fine-looking fellow
with great academic accomplishments

and lacks nothing as your husband.

I don't want to marry a man
whose face or name I do not know.

How dare you say that as a woman!

Is the lack of motherly love
and my overindulgence of you to blame?

No, Father.

Then is my teaching you, a girl,
how to read and write to blame?

Is that why you have become so arrogant?

No.

Then I must be to blame
for letting you do as you wish,

because I had admired your will
and effort in your studies

despite the limits of your gender.

That is not it!

Then what is it?

Confucius said,

"One who says what they like

and what they do not like
is a good person."

Father, I would like to be a good person.

What are you saying?

I'm saying your admonishments
will not work.

I do not wish to be married off
to the family you have chosen for me.

Goodness!

Why can't you ever do as you are told?

I shall take my leave, Father.

My lady!

You can't, my lady!

I cannot accept this marriage.

So what are you planning to do
after you barge into his house?

I have to tell him
that I have another in my heart.

My lady, there will be big trouble
if your father finds out about this.

And that's why
you should keep your mouth closed.

All right.

You wait here and watch the show.

Sorry?

Could I really do that?

You always told me that you wanted
to join a theatrical troupe.

-But I feel bad…
-It's fine.

Open the door.

Open the door!

What a lovely shade.

What are you doing?

I was wondering how you would look
with red rouge around your eyes.

Please wipe it off.

The red suits you very well.

Why do you look at me with that gaze?

I love you.

How long do I have to wait?

It is said that a tiger
exerts its full energy

even when hunting a mere rabbit.

It means whether you are hunting
a pheasant or a deer,

your attitude must never waver.

I have decided to take the exam
to become a military official.

I shall fight for the commoners
who will be the first to suffer

should our country undergo
any hardship or war.

MAY THE UNION OF THESE TWO FAMILIES
BECOME A SOURCE OF HAPPINESS

My lady!

You greet the peddler and his trinkets
with the same delight as ever.

They say that to see is to want.

It means one should be wary
of one's material desires.

How foolish I am
to covet an ornament such as this.

Choose whichever is to your liking.

My wife.

This one.

This one. And this one too.

I like this one too.

Could you pick just one, please?

Then please pick the one
which suits me the best.

You are enchanting in everything.

-I shall take all of them.
-Wait.

I like this one.

I like this one the best too.

What is that?

-Why are there soldiers here?
-What is going on?

What is it?

An urgent dispatch
from Lee Chun-ho, the Commissioner.

The barbarians have crossed the border
and are pillaging villages.

He asked for your help.

The place is not far from here, right?

Any word from Hanyang?

The orders are to go immediately
and help him.

The situation seems quite bad.

The country comes before
one's own well-being.

Do not worry about me and go.

Sir.

Wait.

Then…

I shall go.

Ma'am, have you heard?

The rumor that the Qing army will attack.

Nurhaci of Later Jin has died
and Hong Taiji has ascended to the throne.

I heard he has changed
the name of their country to "Qing."

He is a dangerous man.

Shouldn't we be leaving too?

I heard half the people here
have already packed up and left.

If one's country is collapsing,

will there truly be
someplace safe to go to?

Wouldn't it be safe in Hanyang,
where the King is?

If you'd like to go, you can go.

How could I leave without you, ma'am?

Why not?

You said you'd leave any time

should you fall in love with
the leader of a theatrical troupe.

Oh, dear.

That was a joke I made when I was young.

Are you still going to tease me for that?

How dare you make jokes
when the country is in peril.

I shall go to the market, ma'am.

Rice and barley are so hard
to come by these days.

I hope there'll be something today.

I had no idea how painful it would be

to send your son to the battlefields.

He will be fine.

Please, do not worry.

If it weren't for you,

he would never have become
a military official.

I beg your pardon, Mother,

but the idea was not of my suggestion.

If he had become a civil official
like everyone else,

he wouldn't have gone off
to fight in the war

and would have had a bright
career ahead of him.

He made that choice because he loves
this country more than anyone else.

And I am proud of that side of him.

You will never know my pain,
not in a million years,

since you have no child of your own.

What is it? Do you think I'm wrong?

Mother, we must run.

What do you think you're doing?

Do not resist!

Impudent wench!

Mother!

Go hide in the basement of the shed.

What about you? Where will you go?

-Gop-dan has yet to return.
-She is just a servant!

She is like family to me,
someone I've spent my whole life with.

You must hurry!

All right.

Gop-dan…

There you are, hiding like a rat!

Gop-dan!

My lady, you shouldn't have come.

Let's go.

I'm scared.

You'll die if you stay here!

Let's go.

My lady!

It's too dangerous to go.

I must save her.

You stay here and hide.

My lady…

Are you all right?

-What is it?
-His wound seems to have festered.

-Put him on the horse.
-But what about you?

I'll be fine, so get him on the horse.

Sir. You're back!

-Sir, you're back.
-Jung-gil!

Jung-gil!

Jung-gil!

Jung-gil, you're here. You're back.

I'm glad you are safe, Mother.

Are you hurt?

-No, I'm fine.
-Good.

But…

where is she?

Where is Ryeon?

I think she was taken

by the barbarians.

Jung-gil.

Jung-gil!

Stay on your guard!

Don't cry.

We will definitely return home alive.

Ma'am, are you all right?

What about you?

It's all my fault.

I should have just killed myself then.

You must live.

We shall be able to return home,
as long as we are alive.

Yes, ma'am.

Gop-dan.

I think there's a way we can go home.

Have you seen any other women being taken?

It's not just one or two.

Rumor has it that it's hundreds,
no, thousands of women.

They may look like any other flower,

but these are the roots
of a highly poisonous plant.

It can kill even a horse or a cow.

What's wrong with them?

I think the food has been poisoned.

Let's go.

Everyone, get up! Hurry!

That way!

It's this way.

Everyone, come this way!

We're here.

We're in Joseon now.

You must hold on just a little longer.

Yes.

Let's go.

We're safe!

We're here.

Stop right there.

We are people of Joseon!

Turn back.

You could very well be spies
sent by the barbarians.

I cannot let you enter.

-No.
-What?

-What do you mean by that?
-It is the Army Commander's orders.

Anyone who crosses the border
is no longer a citizen of Joseon.

-What?
-How…

You're saying that
the country we've made our way back to,

after escaping death countless times,

is abandoning us?

If you take another step,

I will cut you down.

Do it.

Who's there?

If you so much as touch
a hair on these women's heads,

I shall cut your throat.

You will regret this.

You're late.

Thank you for staying alive.

I'm sorry I am so late.

Did you have another nightmare?

It's already been a year.

You can put it to rest now.

Let's go see a physician tomorrow
and have him prescribe something.

Thank you, sir.

-Goodness.
-It's that woman.

-It's her.
-Goodness.

-How unsightly!
-Look at her.

-Goodness.
-I can't believe my eyes.

-What is this world coming to?
-The nerve of her!

How dare they call this tiny stream,

"Hoijeolgang"?

What does it mean? "Hoijeolgang"?

They say it is a river
where one regains one's virtue.

The government designated it as such.

They say they will absolve
one of their sins

should one wash oneself here.

What sins have we committed?

The sin of returning alive

after being taken by the barbarians.

Are they accusing us

of prostituting ourselves
to return here alive?

Yes.

I can't believe this.

Had I known it was going to be like this,
I shouldn't have come back!

It is mere gossip.

It will wash away

as time goes by.

Have you heard the news?

The Great Lord of Sinpung, Jang Seon-hong,

has asked the King for his permission
to divorce his wife.

Over what?

His wife is a Returning Lady

who came home
after being taken by the barbarians.

How can we let a woman sullied
by the barbarians

carry on the family line
and prepare the ancestral rites?

-I will look for your new wife soon.
-Mother!

Our country was too weak to protect them.

Our women suffered this indignity

because our men failed
to protect our nation.

How could you place fault on the women?

I heard some wives took their own lives
to protect their virtue.

For whose virtue?

Never…

speak of such things again.

What about the rumors?

What will you do about them?

Do you even know what sort of things
people are saying about your wife?

Did you hear?
About the Chief Officer's wife?

She hasn't been out much lately.

They say she's pregnant
with a barbarian's child.

Really?

Yes!

Goodness.

They say it's the quiet ones
you have to watch out for.

Someone saw her go to the physician
a few days ago.

I heard it was to get rid of the child!

I heard that too!

Then it must be true!

It must be, goodness.

Who told you that?

Please, have mercy on me, sir.

Shut your mouth.

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am, it's urgent!

What is it?

-Oh, my.
-Goodness!

Tell me exactly where
and who you heard that from.

-I'm sorry, sir! Please, have mercy!
-We don't know!

Everyone was saying it,
so we just joined in.

Please, have mercy!

I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry!

We'll never do it again!

Everyone was saying it, we didn't mean…

Stop! What is the meaning of all this?

-Ma'am.
-Ma'am!

Please, help us!

Please, help us! Help us!

How are we supposed to know
where this rumor started?

Yes.

Where there is no smoke, there is no fire.

-You may go.
-Sorry?

-Mother.
-I'm sure there are worse being said.

Let them go.

What do you think about this rumor?

What are you saying, Mother?

You may go.

Thank you, ma'am!

What are you doing?

Those kinds of men must be punished.

Put away your sword.

Not once had he ever talked back to me
while growing up.

There must be a reason
why my son has changed so much.

Do you think your own life

is worth more
than the honor of this family?

Mother.

You must decide.

Whether you'll die with honor

or die by someone else's hand.

She is so shameless.

-Goodness.
-My gosh.

I feel bad for her husband.

I don't know how he can live
with such shame!

-Goodness.
-Gosh.

The nerve of that Returning Lady,
going around with her chin held up high!

Her audacity!

How dare you!

Let's go.

I am fine, but how dare they insult you!

Come on, let's go.

How dare she come to the market?
She'll bring ill luck to us all.

Take that, you hussy!

What do you think you're doing?

Oh, no.

Ma'am. Goodness…

What have we done wrong?

Look me in the eyes and say it again.

This dirty Returning Lady's got pride.

You should be welcoming us.

How dare you point fingers
at women who defended

the honor of the men
who couldn't protect this country?

Shame on you!

Shut up!

Ma'am!

You have no right to raise your voice,
you Returning Lady!

-Jeez!
-You!

Why do you place the blame on us?

Ma'am…

-Jeez!
-Go away!

-Damned Returning Lady!
-Leave!

Stay as you are, my lady.

I will…

protect you.

Gop-dan…

Gop-dan.

Gop-dan!

Gop-dan!

Gop-dan!

Gop-dan!

Ryeon!

Please.

I'd rather die as well.

It's just a rumor. This too shall pass!

That rumor

just keeps spreading.

False as it may be,

it is what people talk about, every day.

I cannot sleep.

I cannot eat.

I cannot do anything.

How can you only think of yourself?

What about me!

Do I not matter to you?

I will only get in the way of your career.

I have no intention of achieving my dream

at your sacrifice.

Don't ever do anything so rash again.

I will take care of it, no matter what.

So you've been visiting her bed
ever since?

That's right!

She had such pale skin,
seeing as how she's a noblewoman.

It's like paradise on earth.

I was planning to cut her off
after just once or twice, but…

But?

She's such a lecherous little thing.

She's so eager to have me

that she doesn't let me sleep
throughout the night!

She's fallen hard for you, right?

No doubt about that,
if she's climbing the wall

without her mother-in-law
or the Chief Officer seeing.

Who's there?

Sir.

Please, don't kill me.

It's too late.

I'll take down anyone
who dares to utter such insults,

no matter how many bastards there are.

Is that how you were taught
to wield your sword?

Ryeon.

Put it away.

I will not.

You have worked to protect these people.

Yet it is from the very mouths
of the people we have sought to protect

that this foul rumor continues
to spread like lice.

Every day, another rumor sprouts
like a weed taking root.

What other choice do I have

than to cut them down?

I shall cut and cut

until there is nothing left.

-I am doing this for you.
-No.

I have put their vile blood on my hand
to protect you.

You should have killed me instead
with that sword.

You should have listened to your mother.

Stop it.

You shouldn't have stopped me then.

I told you to stop.

It would have been better…

if I had never returned.

Stop!

Do you think of me as a beast
because I killed them?

Why do you look at me so?

You know who I did this for.

Don't say it was for me.

It would have been better

if I had never returned.

At least then,

our end would have been better than this.

I have done nothing I am ashamed of.

But how can I live,
seeing you lose yourself

and knowing that I have made you so?

I am afraid this is the end of
what fate has planned for us

in this Land of the Living.

I'm sorry.

Get rid of the body

so nobody gets a word of this.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.

Stop.

Stop!

Don't go, Ryeon…

I'm so sorry.

Ryeon.

Ryeon!

You can't go like this.
