- Episode 6 -

If you get lost again, just like today,

listen to this sound and come find me.

I too, will listen for that sound and follow it to find you.

Brother.

Seo Ri! What's troubling you this early in the morning?

What else could it be? I was looking for medicinal herbs.

Since a lot of medicinal herbs have run out of stock, I don't think I can make the miraculous medicines today.

When you go get the wish tag, please get some more.

It's because you make them every day without skipping a single day.

I'ill get the herbs for you so don't feel so anxious.

It's that there is not much time left you know.

If you start the prayer to dispel the curse

before the Northern star disappears, we need to light all the candles and lift the curse.

If we cannot lift the curse before the Northern Star disappears,

the person trying to dispel the curse will die.

How many times did I tell you? You look like a ghost if you sit right in front of the kerosene light.

I just forgot it.

Ahh. It looks like I have really failed to steal my Sir's heart.

You, Unni,

need a strategy.

How?

See. He opens the door and comes in.

Sending a furtive smile in your eyes to that Sir, you walk sensually.

So where should you sit?

Next to the Sir?

No. It's not.

Here! The place where that Sir's gaze reaches straight.

Here. Since your right side of your face is the pretty one,

you put this kerosene light on your right side.

You sit diagonally so the kerosene light can soak in on your side.

Understand?

What is he like?

He is calm, and he looks like a peeled chestnut.

Then, you must do the voluptuous fox style, no matter what.

That kind of person is tempted to like the opposite style of his.

Look at this. Keep your knee up,

and move your skirt lightly to cover it.

Protrude your chest

and raise your head up sensually.

I'll pour you a drink, Sir.

I'll pour you a drink, Sir.

This won't do.

By the way, he is strong as well.

He seems also to be lewd.

What are you saying? Does his personality change back and forth?

Then...

"Ah... Ah, Sir! "

Why are you like this? It's embarrassing.

You can't tonight.

It's this, try it.

Ah... Ah, Sir! Why are you like this?

Let's give up. Unni is not suited to be a gisaeng.

I can't. Then I can't see my man.

What kind of man did you fall for?

You don't have professionalism in your job. You're a Gisaeng (courtesan).

Does it make sense for you to be lovesick? You should make him suffer from lovesickness.

Don't reprimand me too much.

I am also very sad.

Man Wol, you! What are you doing here right now? Get ready for your Korean harp.

Hurry, hurry! There is no time.

Hey, you are here again.

Don't make a ruckus and leave! I'm going to call the police.

Why do you keep saying that? It really makes me want to make a ruckus.

What did you say again, huh?

- Hurry! Let's go. We should go to greet our guests. - Oh, really!

Goodbye!

Aihoo! My ears hurt. "Quickly, quickly!"

How can I make a promise?

- Huh? - Don't do this.

Hey, huh! These people!

Let me take a look.

Well. Take it.

- Hello, Sir - You should remember me.

Go ahead.

You're saying to turn a blind eye to the Ginseng trades?

Yes.

Ginseng is an item prohibited from trading by the government, isn't it? How did you...

That's why I'm asking you.

Oh!

- Aigoo. It's so heavy. - What is that?

- Rice cake? - That is more delicious than rice cake.

Huh huh. It's awkward.

I heard you're trusted by many high ranked officials here and there because you rendered many distinguished services.

So, there is a rumor that it'll be okay if I ask you in this matter.

It's true I'm in that kind of position.

When I look your physiognomy, you look pitiful.

I'll take care of it only this one time.

- Thank you. - Hey. There is no point in thanking me for that?

Then...

Here, impress with your thumbprint.

What do you mean thumbprint?

Don't you think I need something to believe as well.

This person, what do you take me for now?

There are so many people who tell a different story later. So I was instructed to make sure to bring the evidence.

Oh yeah, I forgot it.

What now? Hey, hey you!

It's nothing.

Thank you.

Then I will leave.

Please do not worry about the bill tonight so please enjoy it,

and do whatever you want.

Sir!

Yeah! Here. Aigoo, Mi Hyang!

Aigoo! Pretty ones!

Hey. Who are you?

How dare the kitchen maid come in my room right now, huh?

Aren't you going to leave right now?

Is it everything if you play the Korean Harp?

Even if she ruins the mood, she should do it within appropriate limits.

What are you doing, standing there laughing?

I have something to show you.

- Oh my, Sir! Oh my, Sir! - Get in here. Get in.

Leave this town quietly.

- Sneaking is your specialty? - What?

What do you mean by that?

Well, do you know me?

What else are you good at besides hit and run?

Why, why? What for?

I am Mi Hyang. I will pour you some wine.

I feel great!

- Sir, say ahh... - Wait, wait.

I feel something fishy...

Tell the servant outside to come in, huh?

Bat Sae, are you there?

Have you called me?

The merchant guy who just left... Where is he staying?

Why so surprised? You just look like a runaway under cover of night.

Forget it. No matter how hard I think, I can't help but feel uneasy.

Let's forget the whole thing.

Why are you running away?

That document, I don't have it with me.

You don't have it? Does it make sense? You just took it.

- Where did you hide it? - I told you I don't have it right now.

Since earlier, I was thinking that your physiognomy (face) looks suspicious. So you're a conman.

I'm a police officer. Do you want to be locked up in jail?

This business has nothing to do with me.

I only did what that scholar ordered me to do.

- Scholar? - Scholar.

He said that he'll give me money if I bring it to him so I only did as told.

- Who is that scholar? - I don't know.

I don't know his name and he never showed his face whenever we met.

Aren't you going to tell me properly?

I told you I don't know.

I know who that scholar is.

Man Wol.

- What are you doing here? - Sir.

My name is Jun. It's Jun. I'm Heo Jun.

You're alive, right?

- This. This is what you want to eat? - Yes.

Hey, Ripe Persimmon! By any chance, is your name Yeon Hee?

Sir?

Sir!

Oh!

Why are you placing the candle dangerously like that?

I will pour you a drink.

Oh, no I will do it.

No.

Man Wol, why are you being like that today?

I'm shy.

Man Wol, did someone say something again?

Whatever other people say, don't mind it.

It is the most beautiful when you just show yourself as you are.

Please do not lie.

I also know my place.

I am thinking of going to the Hundred-Year Tree.

Hundred-Year Tree?

The tree deep in the mountain.

It is a tree that listens to wishes.

Wishes?

Where in the world is there such as that?

Still, you never know.

It might really grant someone's wish.

Do you, Sir, have a wish to make?

Wish?

A wish...

I don't have anything like that.

I pray. I pray.

I plead to the Hundred-Year Tree.

I want to become beautiful.

I can be matched with him.

It's a lady's wish to become beautiful.

I will make a beautifying drink by tomorrow so please let her know.

Beautification Potion

This time, please... Please.

I know who that scholar is.

Who are you?

Huh? Come here! Come here!

I asked who you are.

You should ask who that scholar is, instead of asking who I am.

Probably, you know that person very well, Sir.

This, this... You are the wench from that gambling den.

You have a good memory.

Hey! I won't let you off just because you're a girl.

How do you know that scholar?

Hmph! I don't accept a free client, either.

Well... That evidence or something...

I know very well where that is.

Looking at the state of the body decomposition, it has been two days since the body died.

The women who came to do laundry found and reported it.

Are you alright?

Are you saying I'll really become pretty if I drink this medicine?

Didn't you plead your wish to the Hundred-Year Tree?

Well...

Even though I prayed for my wish, this medicine...

How do I trust this medicine?

Aren't you desperate?

If you aren't desperate, this miraculous medicine will be just as same as the plain water.

However, if you are desperate,

this medicine will certainly make your wish come true.

To make the wish come true,

is there a price I need to pay?

Please light this with an earnest heart.

This wench, Man Wol, what on earth is she doing in her room that she isn't coming out?

If she doesn't have anything to do, she should clean the house.

She doesn't have any sense. Any sense! I mean really,

if her face is ugly, she should have some sense. Huh!

Man Wol!

Man Wol!

Work. It worked!

It worked, Seo Ri.

I heard you were looking for me.

Five years ago, were you there on that night?

The day when the Taoists from the Taoist temple were murdered,

and my father went missing.

I mean, at the Black Forest.

Even if I say I wasn't there, would you trust me?

What in the world happened on that day?

Well...

When I arrived there, everything had already been finished. So...

You don't know anything about that day?

That's what you meant, isn't it?

I can tell you one thing.

I

can enable you to meet His Excellency.

Do you know where my father is?

I meant I could search the way to meet him.

What do I need to do?

In return, I have one favor to ask of you.

Let me see His Majesty the King.

Not very long ago, with my lowly, humble, spiritualistic skill,

I came to know that the King has a big illness in his body.

I know the only method that can heal the King's illness.

Hence, I must see the king.

It's impossible.

Even if the king has an illness, that's a matter for the royal physician to figure out.

The King is not a person whom a mere shamaness can approach privately.

Is that so?

Are you alright even if you don't meet your father?

If you're able to find him, then there is no reason I can't find him.

I see.

By the way,

there were words that His Excellency asked me to deliver to you.

Without fail

find Yeon Hee.

He looks very much like Your Excellency.

King Injong

Your Majesty, are you in pain?

I can help you be at peace.

Please don't be too resentful.

The palace, in the first place, is where,

because of mere greed,

a person's life can be stepped on, as if it's a bug?

Your Majesty, as well...

For your heirs, you used and abandoned so many palace maids.

You should think of it as your comeuppance.

- Come out. - This is Her Highness the Queen Dowager's orders.

Do you dare think you'd be unharmed after killing His Majesty?

You will have to pay your sins with your life.

- I'm already an abandoned life. - You foolish girl.

- Is this the revenge you chose? - Revenge?

It is a righteous undertaking for the good of this nation.

I did not take you in so you could do this.

This is it. Give up, Hong Joo.

It is already too late.

Your Excellency.

Go.

Never come back.

It has come to change fate again.

Your Excellency,

don't go against me this time.

You must

kill the Princess by burning her with focused internal spiritual force.

Dae Bok!

To Sir Heo Jun.

Hey, you! What are you doing?

Who are you to be snooping at another person's house like that?

- By any chance, is this Heo's house? - Yes. That's right. Why?

The thing is... I have something to deliver to Sir Heo Jun of this household.

Heo Jun?

Give it to me. I will hand it to him.

But the thing is that...

I am his older brother.

- I will deliver it to my brother well so you can give it to me. - Okay.

I'll leave it in your care, then.

As if I'll deliver it to him.

My lord, the feelings that I've kept in all this time,

I'm thinking of confessing what I feel now.

Please come to the watermill tonight.

From Man Wol.

At the watermill with Man Wol,

effortlessly...

Heo Jun's doing everything.

- Yes. - Let's go.

This way over here, Sir.

What a scary fellow he is!

What was he doing beside his mother's grave?

- Why? - I don't care.

You have to give it to me first. 100 nyang.

You know those low-born things, when it comes to money. Tisk, tisk.

- Right. Then let me check it. - Move.

What is this? Huh?

This can't be happening.

This is strange. I definitely saw him put it in here.

Are you tricking me with this?

What are you looking for?

What? How come you are here?

It's something I don't know about. It's true.

- These... Right now. - Officer Heo!

With what order of business have you come here, Captain Sire?

In return for turning a blind eye, to illegal trafficking of goods, you, Police Supervisor Heo,

accepted bribes. That's what the report has said.

I think there must a misunderstanding.

What do I lack for me to accept bribes?

Didn't you know that you'll be hanged if you accept bribes 80 times?

It was not me. It was really not me!

- Arrest him! - It was not me!

You, bastard! How dare you trick me?

It is a trap! That bastard!

He is trying to frame me for this right now!

Please, Captain, Sir!

Mother! Mother please save me...

M-Mother! Mother, please get me out this place! Please save me, Mother.

You, fool.

Mother, please...

You know how clever Heo Jun is. How is it that you believed what he said?

I thought that he had already come to his senses.

Mother. The Deputy Inspector whom you're close to... No.

Connect to the Chief Officer of the Royal Investigation Bureau. I've been caught in a slanderous trap.

SAVE ME PLEASE!

Keep your dignity. You are the eldest son of the Heo family.

Eldest son or not, I'm going to die now.

I am going to be hanged. Hanged!

There must not be any wavering even in the face of strong wind and waves. That's the way dignity is upheld.

You need to be dignified to protect the family.

Does our family matter when I'm going to die for mistakenly pressing my thumbprint?

Mother, if I get hanged, our family...

It will also end! That too!

Who are you?

Just who are you to follow me around?

Why do you keep killing people related to the Hundred-Year Tree?

Did that person hire you?

As expected, this time the candle went out too.

Seo Ri.

Where did you go?

What were you doing outside?

It's... nothing.

What exactly is it that you're hiding from me?

What is there to hide...

There is nothing like that.

Seo Ri!

Seo Ri.

Seo Ri!

Seo Ri.

Seo Ri.

Seo Ri!

Please let me go this time. I will find it out myself.

If you go outside now, everything will be over.

Seo Ri. Seo Ri!

Seo Ri, no! Seo Ri!

Let's try for a little bit longer. You've been doing well until now!

What do you mean? There are only 49 days left now.

During the six months that passed, I couldn't even light one candle!

But what are you saying I did? What are you saying we do?

You can surely do it. No. It must be done.

If all the candles do end up dying out...

So, if they die because I couldn't break the curse,

I won't be able to see them again.

The people I surely want to see again.

Seo Ri.

I am not afraid of death at all.

However...

I miss them.

I miss them so very badly.

It's I who am sorry. I really am.

Let's go now.

We enjoyed the food. Let's go.

You need to pay.

Right. Let's take a look at it.

One, two, three... 100 nyang. There are more... 200 nyang—

It's right. 200 nyang.

Because you said you were giving me more, I was the one who betrayed the previous customer. But

when I looked into it, apparently you two are brothers, even if your social status is different?

Is it a war of the brothers or something like that?

None of your business.

He said that's your mother's grave. Why would you hide something like that there?

Go.

Ah... Is it a revenge?

I said to go, you punk! And you shouldn't live your life like this. You'll regret it later.

With that money, lead a worthy life.

Whatever.

It's okay. Aiyoo! I can't take it because I feel uncomfortable about it.

Why?

How can I accept money that was exchanged for someone else's life?

Arrest that fellow, Heo Jun.

Yes.

Why are you doing this?

Don't you know the severity of your own crimes?

What crimes?

Charges of libel for telling a lie,

and serious violation of the moral Confucian order of three duties and five relationships by showing contempt for a noble.

What are you talking about?

Why are you so surprised?

Excuse me.

You shouldn't try to destroy the family because you feel wronged for being an illegitimate son.

Libel? Didn't you see all the evidence yourself?

Officer Heo Ok accepted bribes and turned a blind eye to illegal trade and trafficking,

ignored the crimes of a robber, and released a murderer.

This person killed an innocent woman

by burning her alive. But why...

Why are you saying he has no crimes? WHY?

Quiet! You still haven't come to your senses.

Hey! The law of the Joseon Dynasty is not slipshod enough

to be fooled by your jokes.

Brother, that is what status is like.

Being low-born is guilty. Being noble-born is innocent, eh?

Didn't I tell you not to do anything else, you bastard?

You, dirty bastard.

What?

I should never have built any hopes on

people who never know the feeling of shame.

Right! There is one more crime that this man is also responsible for.

Heo Jun, Yongcheon governor's illegitimate son,

arrest him as a man charged with murder!

Bat Sae!

Yes.

I have found incriminating evidence this time. Here.

Last night, the last person whom the late victim, a gisaeng, met

was just you, Heo Jun.

It must be you, Red Robes?

Hurry to arrest him!

- Yes. - Yes.

What are you doing? Catch him!

Catch him!

Catch him!

Step aside!

Stop there! I'm the Captain of Royal Guard, Choi Poong Yeon.

Yuck!

Please go ahead.

Let's go.

- Catch that Red Robes! - Red Robes?

It's not me! I said it's not me!

Why are you being like this?

Get him!

Don't come! Don't come any closer!

Catch him!

- Catch him! - Catch him!

Brother?

You must never cross this talismanic shield.

Finally you showed yourself, Princess!

Mirror of the Witch ~ Preview ~

When you find the princess, capture her alive immediately.

Only the gold bell disappeared.

Brother.

"The Book of Demon Banishment."

Kill me!

The contents of this book

will be gone forever.

The corpse that has been brought is not Red Robes.

I don't have any interest whether he is the real Red Robes or not.

All we need is someone to throw a stone at.

Who exactly are you?

I'm dying to catch that bastard Red Robes!

Immediately release the girls and search for him around the area.

If you, the King of Joseon, let Shamaness Hong Joo come back into the Palace,

you'll have to deal with the misfortune hanging over the Royal Family.

Sir, now this is the new beginning.

♬ But now I know the reason ♬
