BLOODY HEART

THE PEOPLE, GROUPS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE PURELY FICTIONAL

Your Majesty!

You must…

4 YEARS AGO

…dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

The recklessness of His Royal Highness
worsens day after day,

and his behavior is
starting to break down our customs.

You must dethrone the Crown Prince

and reinstate
the foundation of our nation!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince

-and reinstate our nation's foundation!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

Three state councilors
of the State Council,

then even Six Ministries and Three Offices
joined in this protest.

That means the entire Royal Court is
in this together.

I can no longer protect you.

You must…

survive on your own now.

I shall do that.

Even if…

I must rip my limbs out to survive,
I shall survive.

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince!

-You must dethrone the Crown Prince
-You must dethrone the Crown Prince

-and reinstate our nation's foundation!
-and reinstate our nation's foundation!

I'll marry Lady Yoon, just as the Queen

and the Royal Court decided.

Your Royal Highness.

a royal marriage is not
something to be dealt with.

In that case,

what can I do?

This foolish man does not understand
what His Royal Highness means.

A subject can only give advice,

and every decision is made by His Majesty.

What are you all doing?

Do you dare to look down
on His Royal Highness?

Your Royal Highness.

You are the foundation of our nation.

How can you bow your head
as our foundation?

How can you kneel down so easily

as our foundation?

The true foundation of Joseon…

are the nobles.

I will not

seek after the royal authority

as the tyrant you deposed did.

I will not hold you in check
just as His Majesty does.

I will

respect the words of the subjects
and Three Offices…

as the King.

So please,

help me.

BLOODY HEART
EPISODE 1

QUEEN YOON

Your Majesty!

Get the royal physician!

Now! Go!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

It has been four years since we waited
for Her Majesty's conception.

You should take in a royal concubine

and have a son in your royal family.

How can you be so impudent
to the young Queen?

She can always conceive a baby,
even today.

Internal Prince,
your loyalty as a subject comes first

before your love for your daughter.

Left Minister, you choose to overlook
how His Majesty feels.

That means
your ulterior motive came first!

Otherwise, does Left State Councilor
harbor an ulterior motive?

Speak up.

Can you confidently say

this selection was done
without ulterior motives?

A subject can only give advice.

When His Majesty gives an order,

I simply honor and follow it.

If the Queen requests it,

I shall allow you
to select a royal concubine.

How?

How did you not have any idea

until Her Majesty was
in such dire condition?

Her Majesty said

she must keep clean while she has
the pregnancy talisman on herself

-and did not allow me to feel her pulse.
-I don't need excuses.

Who else knows other than you?

Nobody knows.
I must relay this to the King's Palace.

What can His Majesty do at this point?

The fate of the Yoon family
depends upon this.

Yes, my lord.

My arrow must have become nervous
with you watching, Left State Councilor.

Everyone knows that
you are an excellent archer, Your Majesty.

I'm only afraid you will
choose to train in martial arts

and neglect your daily lessons.

I'll remember your advice.

It is my honor.

In that case, please allow me
to give you another word of counsel.

I understand
you want a son from the Queen.

But as we cannot postpone this any longer,

it's the Queen Dowager's will
for you to select a royal concubine.

I'll try to persuade
the internal prince again--

Your Majesty.

Instead of persuading,

give him an order.

I accept your advice.

Your Majesty.

Eunuch Jung of the Queen's Palace is here.

Your Majesty.

I came to report that I found a site
for a pavilion for Internal Prince.

I wanted to console the internal prince

by demolishing a deserted house
and building a pavilion.

How big is it?

A house of 21 kan will be used
to build it with 4 dan and 4 jum,

and a house of 22 kan will become
3 dan and 9 jum.

Proceed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I must go visit the Queen.

My lord.

This is absolutely urgent.

Your Majesty.

The Queen's Palace is the other way.

CLASSIC OF POETRY

QUEEN DOWAGER CHOI GAYEON

Your Royal Highness.

Internal Prince has been
waiting for half an hour.

Has it been that long already?

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Let him in
after another quarter of an hour.

Why haven't I heard from my father?

How can he leave the Royal Court
even after he heard that I fainted?

The Queen is ill.

It is absurd that
no one has come to visit me!

Internal Prince, what brings you here?

I hear you are deeply concerned
about the future generation

of the royal family.

It was extremely inscrutable
and embarrassing.

Is that so?

I heard you were against a concubine.

How could I go against the Queen Dowager?

However, for the sake of the sickly Queen,

please let me have all authority
over the selection of the concubine.

If you let me,

I will be as faithful to you
as a dog and horse.

It looks like

the rumors are true.

Remove the girl
who caused anger to the Queen.

I'm here.

I may be powerless,

but the King is here to visit the Queen.

I heard the Royal Court clamored

for you to select a concubine
as soon as possible.

My eyes are only on you.

Their clamor is hardly important.

Your Majesty.

I must have hurt you

because I was a queen
who viciously threw temper tantrums.

It's because I was spiteful.

I hated how you tried to have
a girl from an ordinary family

as the Crown Princess instead of me.

If that girl had been alive,
I would have had her killed.

That is how much

I am in love with you.

This is…

the first time you said
you loved me, my queen.

In that case,

I'll give you an answer.

My queen.

You'll die soon.

The ailment went into her lungs
and she can't be saved, can she?

I thought you loved her dearly,

but the first thing you suggested is
that he select a concubine?

Power must be more important to you
than your own bloodline.

That was an awful joke.

Joking…

is what you had said.

If you truly know
what it's like to be in love,

you wouldn't have dared to say the word.

No child in this world

would be happy to be loved
by the child of their mother's murderer.

I rose to the throne after marrying you.

Once you die,

I'll be able to marry a family
that can become my support.

As you are now, my queen…

you are dearest to me.

Your Majesty…

Left State Councilor,
give me one more chance.

My lord!

My lord!

Internal Prince will be dismissed
for deceiving His Majesty,

and he'll be severely punished
according to the crimes he committed.

-Your order is our command.
-Your order is our command.

Your Royal Highness,
His Majesty must not know

until another royal physician
diagnoses her ailment.

Of course, he doesn't know.

Everyone, from the Chief Eunuch
to the court lady at the Queen's service,

and even the maids,

are your eyes and ears.

We may even control His Majesty's breaths.

How would he find out
unless you allow him to know?

Your Majesty the Queen!

Your Majesty the Queen!

Careful.

All right.

BAMBOO GROVE VILLAGE

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-Come on. Careful.
-My goodness.

-Why are you all in a hurry?
-Oh my, Jinsa Lim.

A young master from Imjin Valley

came to ask for our young lady's hand.

We turned him down
through the matchmaker twice,

then he showed up himself.

He must be infatuated with her.

It'll feel so empty once she gets married.

Our sadness isn't the problem.

We should let our young lady
ride the flowery wedding litter.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

My… My la…

My lady, please marry me.

I'll take first place
in the state examination

and turn you into the wife
of a senior official.

Even if you're in love with another man,

it's all right.

I'll wait.

That smells nice.

Gosh, the wait is tormenting.

My goodness!

Good grief.

I'm sorry, my lord.

I'm quite late.

No. I'm just grateful that you came.

I didn't realize I'd be so late
after visiting the government office.

The government office?
What business does a girl have there?

To donate my workshop to the village.

Why…

Why would you donate that?

I get that all of Jeolla knows
you made a fortune

in the bamboo box business, but--

I already split up the profit
with the crafters, so I have nothing.

Are you saying…

you're penniless?

Yes.

Didn't you know?

I've never seen such an idiotic girl!

Why would you give away that much money?

I already promised
I'd send silver to Hanyang!

What now? How will you patch this up?

-Darn it.
-Young master.

You'll get in serious trouble
if you hurt me in Bamboo Grove Village.

Is that so? How dare you lie to me?

Look at this girl.

Oh my.

You shouldn't be doing this here.

You! How dare you lay a hand on her?

Why would you talk it out?

Our language is

this club.

How dare you try to hurt a nobleman…

My goodness, this young master

-just hit me on the head!
-My goodness.

-My gosh.
-I didn't hit your head.

Oh my, this young master
just hit me in the stomach!

-I didn't hit your stomach.
-I saw it myself.

Oh my, this young master is
now about to break my arm!

-What now?
-Enough! You need to stop.

Okay, I'm leaving.

I'll leave.

-Look at him go.
-Oh my.

That young master is running away!

Look at that jerk.

-Are you all right, my lady?
-Are you okay?

-Yes.
-My gosh.

I'm absolutely fine.

-That's good.
-What about your stomach?

I'm fine.

He's fine. He's quite sturdy.

What a relief.

After the national funeral,
there will be a marriage ban.

The noblemen who marry off
their daughters before the ban

and the ones who wait for the ban will

all require bamboo boxes for dowries.

Send someone to Hanyang
and get a list of such people.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Everyone, hurry.

I must leave for Hanyang
before the marriage ban is instated.

I'll return with a huge profit,
so look forward to it.

Sounds great.
Get us some powder when you come.

And some yeot from Hanyang.

My kids love that.

Okay, I'll get some powder, some yeot,

and even abduct a scholar to marry.

Oh my.

So you really do have
a scholar you like in Hanyang.

Of course.

I'll make sure to abduct him this time,
so look forward to meeting him.

All right.

My goodness, her.

You never forget to visit me
although I'm your stepmother.

Your devotion to your parents

sets an example for everyone.

It is simply my duty as a son.

Have some.

It's not poisoned.

It was a joke.

I heard you still have trouble sleeping,

so I prepared chrysanthemum tea.

The Queen died in such vain.

How could you sleep in peace?

Is this the second time?

The Crown Princess died in vain too.

I heard that she was

burnt beyond recognition.

Allow me to tell you this
since this is a national funeral.

The Queen's Palace
cannot be left vacant for long.

Everyone is

on the Left State Councilor's side.

Your Majesty, the weather is still cold.

I don't think
I'll be falling asleep easily tonight.

I'll sleep at the library.

Yes, I will get the place ready.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

7 YEARS AGO

You must return to the palace.

It's my marriage.

I need to see Lady Yoon's looks
and character myself to decide

if she is suitable as a crown princess.

It's not too late
to go back to the palace.

I'll tell the bodyguards
to escort you back.

Young master!

Young master?

Come and take a look!

-Come and look.
-Open for business.

Come and get your powder.

Run!

If we just bring you eggs,

you'll really turn them into chicks?
Even without a chicken?

Of course. Put them in there.

Good.

Okay.

That's enough moisture.

Thankfully, the weather is nice.

Don't forget to turn them around
three times a day.

Wait just three, four days,
and you'll see chicks here.

A young girl is here
deceiving foolish people.

What has the world come to?

Who are you?

Do you really believe the egg will hatch
without a chicken to brood them?

Yes, once you create a warm,
moist environment as if a hen were there.

I saw the eggs hatch with my own two eyes.

They won't hatch.

They can.

-They can too!
-They can too!

-My egg!
-That's my egg!

And now, it really won't hatch.

-My egg is broken.
-Enough!

Instead,

if you promise me that
you won't fall for her deceit again,

-I'll give you an egg each.
-The eggs you just broke

weren't just eggs,
but those were to become chickens.

Pay them back with the price of a chicken.

If you want the money,
you can try to catch me.

Giddyup!

You can ride a horse?

You followed me all the way here
just to get paid for the chickens?

Those eggs could have taught them

that making an effort today
could make tomorrow better.

That's what you broke.

Do you think I'll fall for some lie
you made up for children?

You'll fall into a swamp
if you go that way.

Another lie.

You weren't lying.

I do not lie.

Over there.

That's where the women come
to ride the swing on the Dano holiday.

I heard that many men come to
see their fiancée before their marriage.

It was true.

Then I'll trust that you'll leave
the cost of the chickens at the tavern.

Do you really believe
you can hatch those eggs?

Those kids only want to eat today.

They'll eat the egg
even before it hatches.

But still,

if they regret what they do,
they'll learn something.

Then next time, and the time after that,
they would be a little better.

You are quite ugly.

You're ugly, cheeky,

proud, and even vicious.

You talk a lot and aren't gentle,

so who'll ever marry you?

You're harsh.

That's why…

I'll marry you.

Chase her immediately.

Find out which family she's from,

her mother's family, and their reputation.

-Scholar Yoo Haksoo's daughter?
-Yes.

I will not marry anybody else
other than the daughter from that family.

Don't you know who Scholar Yoo Haksoo is?

He's known as the future of the Sarim.

He's highly respected
in the Sarim faction,

so the officials also keep him in check.

That is why.

We must increase the power of the Sarim
to fight against the officials.

Crown Prince.

Everyone, leave the room.

How can you be so reckless?

I told you that you must
always stay alert in the palace.

I apologize.

However,

you also feel the same way as I do.

You couldn't take the daughter
of an official as a crown princess.

That's why you've put off
my marriage until now.

Also,

she really is a good woman.

She's kind and wise,

just as a queen should be.

I understand how you feel.

It's time for your lecture,
so you should go.

Your Majesty.

The Crown Prince is right.

I know.

But I am still afraid.

I was enthroned
by the selection of the officials

who deposed my older brother.

If I get the Sarim involved
to keep the officials in check,

how will they respond?

On the day of their uprising,

my family was annihilated

as the closest people
of the dethroned king.

They gave you pressure to throw me out,

that they wouldn't serve a queen
from a traitor's family.

But you overcame that pressure,
putting your life at stake.

I am your husband.

If I'm unable to protect my own wife,

how could I keep this nation together?

In that case, trust the Crown Prince.

He's your successor.

"Get the Sarim involved

to keep the officials
of the coup in check."

That's what

the Crown Prince said?

Your Majesty.

I, Scholar Yoo Haksoo,
have come to your call.

I'd like to ask for your help.

I will lay down my life
to carry out your order, Your Majesty.

I'd like to have your daughter
as the Crown Princess.

You're home.

You're here, Father.

EXPANDED MEANING OF THE GREAT LEARNING

My dear, can you fetch me
a bowl of honey water?

Of course.

Someone asked for your hand.

I guess there was a family
that hasn't heard of me.

It would be the biggest honor, but also…

the greatest responsibility.

Is it a royal marriage?

His Majesty is

trying to hold the officials in check
by using the Sarim.

Did you accept it?

I should refuse it as a father,

but as a subject,

I must accept it.

Father, I don't want to live
in the palace.

Were you not astonished

that so many have forgotten the people
were the foundation of our nation?

In Joseon, the only place where a woman
can use her studies for her country

is life as the Queen.

I have not seen anyone

who could be a better queen

than you.

If you fancy any of the ladies,
let me know whenever you wish.

I'm not going to meet them.

I want to watch her fall over in shock
on our first night together.

She will most certainly scream.

Please come in.

This is where you'll stay
from now on as the Crown Princess.

All right.

The daughter of Scholar Yoo Haksoo
was selected after all.

This is to hold us in check
by using the Sarim.

I'd rather switch the King

than live to see that happen.

One reformation makes us
contributors to the country,

but two reformations make us traitors.

Then do you suggest
we all lay down our lives?

The Queen is already an enemy,

and now the Crown Princess
is with the Sarim!

His Majesty

just gave us a reason.

Queen Shin is the daughter of the subject
of the deposed king we killed,

Shin Heogyeon.

And Scholar Yoo Haksoo
studied with Shin Heogyeon, didn't he?

No…

Why are you taking him?

-Oh no.
-Let's go!

-No, don't take him!
-Move it!

Now!

I, Left State Councilor Park Gyewon,

lay down my office,

lay down my life,
to inform you of this atrocity.

Scholar Yoo Haksoo

abused his influence over the Sarim
to plot treason!

The traitors who sided with him
confessed everything

and his crimes have been
already exposed in detail.

What's more disastrous is

how the traitors singled out the leader…

as Her Majesty the Queen.

The Queen harbored a grudge

for the beheading of her father,
Shin Heogyeon the traitor,

and conspired to murder Your Majesty.

She conspired
with the wicked Scholar Yoo Haksoo

to enthrone the Crown Prince
for her regency.

Everything came into the light
through this incident.

Your Majesty!

Depose the Queen…

and expose

every single crime she has committed!

Left State Councilor.

I ask of you.

Please do not dethrone the Queen.

She is

my wife.

Your Majesty.

You cannot bring…

personal feelings into a state matter.

Palace Guards,
imprison Left State Councilor immediately.

He is a sinner who dare slander the Queen!

What are the guards doing?

Why is the commandant standing still?

You'll lay down your offices?

Do you dare to threaten me?

Palace Guards, lift up your swords!

Subjects,

put your hats back on!

Do you regret it?

No.

Unless I chose one of their daughters,

they would have protested
no matter who it was.

You're right.

So make sure you protect
the Crown Princess as her husband.

Just as my father did.

Yes.

A husband must protect his wife,

and a mother must protect her children.

Your tea is getting cold.

Tae.

Yes,

Mother?

I just

poisoned your tea.

Your Majesty.

I'll give you a reason
to fight against them.

Your Majesty,
please keep the Crown Prince safe.

It's more than how much
you usually took every day.

You'll be sick for a few days.

The Crown Prince of this nation
was almost killed,

so they'll play it safe for a while.

Left State Councilor

won't back down
over such an obvious trick.

He'll try even harder to depose you.

I know.

A few sick days you suffer
won't put an end to this.

Crown Prince.

Your mother

will not become a deposed queen.

I will die as the Queen of this country.

Mother.

I have been poisoned to death

with you, Crown Prince.

Remember that for life…

and make use of it.

The only thing that'll keep you safe

is the sympathy people will have for you

as a child of a poisoned mother.

Is anybody out there?

The Queen and the Crown Prince
were poisoned.

Shut every palace gate!

I will make sure I catch the criminal

and annihilate three generations
to punish them for this crime!

What happened to those

who caused Mother's death?

You must have cut off the limbs
of Left State Councilor and the officials

and wiped out their families too.

I'm sure you had Mother's revenge.

Your Majesty.

Left State Councilor is at your service.

Why is he still in the palace?

He promised to preserve your life.

The Queen of this nation
was poisoned to death.

Why is the cause of this crime
still not punished?

How come nobody took responsibility?

Let the Left State Councilor in.

Your Majesty.

Yoo Haksoo, the traitor
who murdered the Queen,

and his family were beheaded,
and their fortune was confiscated.

Please order the punishment
of Yoo Haksoo's daughter.

Left State Councilor!

I'll kill you.

I'll tear you to pieces!

I'll kill you.

-I'll kill you!
-Shut his mouth

and lock him in his quarters!

Let go of me. Let go.

Yoo Haksoo's daughter is
the daughter to a traitor.

Behead her tomorrow.

Your order

will be carried out.

Father.

Father.

Father.

-Mother.
-Jung.

Father.

-Let's go!
-Father!

Father! Mother!

Mother! Father!

Father! Mother!

TRAITOR YOO HAKSOO

TRAITOR YOO HAKSOO

Please spare

Yoo Haksoo's daughter.

That woman is innocent.

Did the Queen die

because she was guilty?

I lost my wife because I am weak.

Even after losing her,
I have to protect you, Crown Prince.

I am…

a cowardly husband
who looks away from my wife's death.

Are you saying…

I should also become a coward like you?

I cannot do that.

In the palace, there is a secret passage
only known to successors of the throne.

You can go out of the palace
through this passage.

Follow Kyun.

Go

and prove that you are different from me.

When a man with a mask comes,

he'll take you to a safe place.

Once I go there,

will I see my mother and father?

Never mind.

They were beheaded…

because I became the Crown Princess.

But only I survived.

Why didn't you just leave me to die?

Please live.

Because of me,

my mother passed away.

Because of me,

a family was wiped out.

Even so, I will live.

I'll live

and torture

the ones who slaughtered my mother
and those dear to me.

So please, stay alive.

Please.

Please live and endure.

Thank you

for staying alive.

My love who was ruined because of me,

my beloved

Crown Princess.

BLOODY HEART

Will you accept this?

Miss, do you really like a man like him?

You said he wouldn't tell you
where he lives and what he does.

Before the marriage ban,

the Queen Dowager and Left State Councilor
will decide on the Queen.

I'm going to select my niece as the Queen.

What shall I do for you?

Why won't you let me meet the scholar?

You don't know who he is.

I've told you, you'll fall in danger
if you get closer to him.

This is the beginning.

I cannot let the niece
of Left State Councilor become the Queen.
