Please return,

Your Majesty.

Please return,

Your Majesty.

Jae-ha,

you know

I love you, right?

I really like you

and Kim Hang Ah as well.

-Have you received the news? -I've received it.

I'm so busy now. And I have to...

You're okay, right?

I trusted the King, that's why I entrusted you to him

and now...

Dad, I'm sorry.

Your Majesty, we don't have much time left.

Your Majesty.

Don't you...

address me like that too.

I want to help.

Is there something I can do?

What do I start with first?

First of all, please complete the most basic task.

It's writing a Royal Journal.

Royal Journal means a king's diary.

Although it's hard to write it every day,

you can't always skip it.

When you speak to the portrait of the former king,

the recording will automatically start.

However, for the keyword instructions to start and complete,

you'll need to redo the setup.

Since this records the authenticity of the current king,

consider the keyword carefully when resetting.

Please set the starting keyword.

The recording will begin after the beep.

Are you happy?

The setting of the start keyword has finished.

"Are you happy?"

Please set the ending keyword.

The recording will begin after the beep.

What are you looking at?

The setting process has ended.

You've already finished recording?

What is there to say to a dead person?

What's next?

Firstly,

there are eight official proposals that must be decided within this week,

as well as three chosen reinforcement group proposals.

It's the country's mourning period, how can I finish all that?

During the breakfast meeting tomorrow morning,

you'll accept the ambassadors' condolences.

Afterwards, there'll be a meeting regarding "Arirang."

-The rest... -Wait.

-What about it? -China wants to register the song

as their regional cultural heritage.

So when we sing "Arirang," they can say that since we sing their cultural songs,

our country is part of China, one of its subject states,

or something like that?

What the...

What has our country been doing?

There has been a variety of public performances and diplomatic--

Can this be settled with several public performances?

They are trying to take away our symbol.

What is the Minister of Administration doing?

You too.

How could you be all calm

about this problem?

Is anyone working or just playing around?

Then, what has Your Majesty been doing?

This matter started about ten months ago.

It was often covered by the press.

The Royal House held several major performances too.

It wasn't very far away.

One was right downstairs in the banquet hall.

What was Your Majesty doing then?

Give me all the information about "Arirang" too.

There are already a lot to review today,

you can look at that issue tomorrow.

Don't you know how high my IQ is? It's 187.

If you don't believe me, check it tomorrow.

This is the rest of the resources on "Arirang," Your Majesty.

Hello?

Why does the Minister of Justice wish to see me?

What? The chimney was blocked?

Yes. According to the reports,

the windows were tightly closed.

Was it the same during the safety check?

Considering his preferences,

an older house was chosen, but it was not in poor condition.

Charcoal ashes were discovered

at the fireplace too.

Due to the charcoal, deadly carbon monoxide was emitted.

That's the cause of their death.

A thorough inspection was done.

You also chose a discreet place.

I'm not suspecting anything, I just thought you should know.

Things could go wrong

if they're meant to go wrong.

I'll leave first.

It would be better if the breakfast is Korean food too.

The BTW chairman is especially interested in Korean food.

I think he will like it. Yes.

I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Welfare Hall for a while too.

I hope they can understand.

Significantly reduce the other activities and concerts.

If it's the leadership conference, just continue--

Your Highness, let me wash the Princess instead.

It's all right.

She'll be embarrassed if she finds out.

She has a strong sense of self-respect.

But why hasn't she woken up yet?

Since she didn't sustain any brain damage, she'll wake up soon.

Maybe this is better.

It'll be hell for her when she wakes up.

Go out.

Sorry, I'll come to the conference according to the schedule...

The time...

Then, move the interview with that author to 20 minutes earlier.

I don't have to eat.

I'll have some snacks in the middle.

And about the field trip...

That will be too difficult for Hang Ah.

I'll deal with it.

Mom.

What are you doing?

I'll need a different speech when I see the Asian ambassadors in the afternoon.

The speeches for Malaysia and the Philippines overlap.

I'll take note of it.

Look at this press release, there's a typo here in the middle.

Do you see it?

It's not "sue," it's "sui."

New York Times was ridiculed because they misspelled this too.

Don't tell me you copied it from that article.

Please check the spelling again.

I'll check it.

Is the Chief Secretary very sick?

Yes, he's feeling very unwell.

He seems to be in shock.

I'm fine, so why is he like that?

The contract with the International Vaccine Institute...

Your Majesty, sorry to disturb you.

The Princess has regained consciousness.

Really?

Can we postpone the next schedule?

-Yes. -But...

Did you say I fell?

Me? From where?

Do you still remember where you went?

Yes, I went there together with my friends.

Jae-shin.

Are you all right?

Jae-ha,

I called you and asked you to go to Jae-kang, right?

Yes.

Do you remember giving me a call?

I remember, I went to the market...

What did I do then?

Wait a moment.

Mom, let me have a look at my phone.

The calling record...

-Be careful. -Be careful.

What's wrong with my legs?

Are you very sick?

His Majesty said he must see you.

INTERNAL REPORT

You've arrived.

Are you feeling better?

Is my brother's death really an accident?

Were the security checks done?

But it's very suspicious an accident happened at the stove,

and Jae-shin suddenly...

The car did not break down.

But Jae-shin doesn't remember how she fell.

Of course, a series of misfortunes could happen at once.

But don't you think it's a bit strange?

The former king

died because of me.

I didn't do the safety checks properly.

This was all my responsibility.

I'm ready to receive my punishment.

The stove was not inspected?

It seems like it.

What about the chimney?

It wasn't inspected.

What about the windows?

I'll only ask you one question.

For you to accept the punishment,

is it because of your perfectionism?

Or is it because you hate me?

Do you feel assisting me is a waste of effort?

It's both of them.

Of course,

you must accept the punishment.

Remain by my side.

By my side, turn this useless King

into a worthy human being.

Your Majesty, I...

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

I'm too busy

to kick you out now.

Prepare my next schedule yourself.

Yes?

How was it? Did you see the King?

Who are you?

You know me.

You must have stayed up all night after you received the message.

You probably went to the King and tried to resign, right?

But you didn't tell him the most important part, did you?

You know what the most important part is.

You took the bribe from us and leaked the information.

Hello?

The bribe. I absolutely didn't--

No, you definitely knew.

Of course, you wanted to use the donation to help the Royal Family.

But you can't deny you're a fan of The Beatles.

That's the only album in the world.

It's worth more than 150 million won.

Who would send such a gift to a friend?

Look at yourself.

You didn't tell the King about this matter.

It means you had a guilty conscience.

Yes, you should be very upset.

A perfectionist like you can't accept any flaws.

Of course you won't admit it.

You think you're not that type of person.

So, you erased

the memory of taking the bribe.

So you went to the King and apologized,

without telling him the real reason.

You also chose a good timing to apologize.

When the inexperienced King is extremely busy.

When he needs you and has to keep you around.

Are you feeling a bit better now?

That's right, you have an exemption from punishment now.

What is there to be afraid of?

I'm not a person who won't admit my own fault.

I'm not telling you that you are wrong.

You're wise.

Isn't your King disappointing?

He's a piece of garbage.

Even Lee Jae-ha knows the truth,

that he can't solve any problems.

He'll act up to catch me

and ruin the country.

You know it too.

I'm only suggesting that we think about this efficiently.

In fact, I'm also a pacifist.

As long as you don't provoke me, everything will be fine.

In the future, I'll contact you for many things.

I'll raise some proposals, so that your King doesn't cause trouble,

and to open a road of peace.

But for that to happen,

we need to settle a problem first, right?

Her Highness said you don't need to do anything.

If you continue this...

I'm not allowed to be more than 500m away from my room, I know.

So, I have measured the distance.

This is 487 steps away from my room.

I didn't defy her order.

I'm referring to you doing manual labor.

I have learned whatever I should, right?

Everyone in the Royal Family is extremely busy right now.

I'm the only one who has nothing to do.

It doesn't matter.

You're not officially part of the Royal Family yet.

I'm just pulling out weeds.

Just because a North Korean pulled some weeds out,

it doesn't mean the flowers will become a communist.

Don't worry.

Give it to me.

Please leave us alone.

You're suitable for this type of work.

We haven't seen each other for so long,

but you only have that to say?

What impudence!

Please forgive me.

Is this a historical drama?

You're having a very difficult time.

I'm more worried about my mom.

She seems like she can't hold on any longer.

-Actually, I worry about her too. -Do you think you could go and see her?

I hope you can lighten the task of taking care of Jae-shin.

What are you doing?

Mom.

It's amazing.

It doesn't feel painful at all.

Just like a leg made out of rubber.

I'll be back in two hours.

-So... -Who's outside? Tell Shi-gyeong to leave!

It's a nurse.

Since you're Chief Secretary's son, I trust you.

Contact me immediately if anything happens.

If Jae-shin doesn't call you, don't go in.

Yes.

Thank you for your work.

Yes.

What's the matter?

I haven't visited the Princess even once since she got injured.

What happened?

His Majesty said she should go and say her greetings.

Jae-shin has fallen asleep.

Okay, then I'll wait for a while.

I said that she is asleep.

Well, after I see the doctor, I'll...

I've caught a cold, I'm sorry.

The attending doctor will be in the palace in the afternoon.

He's just next door.

I'll go back right after I take my medicine.

That's weird.

It seems like your throat is okay.

I seem to have a fever too.

How is the Princess' condition?

Are her legs going to be like that for life?

Yes. She should get rehab as early as possible.

Although she won't completely recover with the treatment,

it won't become an obstacle in her life.

When is Her Highness coming?

She'll be here in about an hour.

Do you need something?

No.

Don't come in!

Nothing is wrong, don't move!

If you dare to come in, I'll let you all see me die!

What?

What happened? Perhaps the Princess...

Is there anything dangerous inside?

What has she done? Did she really harm herself?

Is it very serious?

She is very sensitive, absolutely no one...

What to do now...

We can only let the hospital to settle it?

Can we break in through the window?

What is it exactly?

Who's outside? Don't come in!

I have a mirror and a tube.

Anything can be used to commit suicide!

I'll bite my tongue if you make me angry.

If you want to make sure, just come in and see.

You can't.

A person who really wants to die,

will not say things like this.

What do you want to do?

Go away, get lost!

Get lost!

Go away!

Go away.

What do you think you're doing now?

You crazy communist!

Didn't you just poop?

Do you want to take a bath or bear with the smelly odor?

What's going on?

-Hang Ah went in and locked it. -Really?

Princess, are you all right?

Ms. Kim, please open the door.

Tell them everything's fine

or else

you'll be given a shameful nickname.

Poop! Princess...

I'm all right.

Nothing is happening in the room. Just leave.

Leave, I will do it myself.

I said I'll do it myself or ask my mom to help.

Are you being rational?

Do you know how busy the Queen Dowager is right now?

She has things to do like settling the palace affairs.

Without enough sleep, she's eating medicine like it's food.

She looks like she might collapse at any time.

However, as a daughter and as a princess,

how could you behave like this?

Pooping?

Everyone in the world does that.

The King does that, even Jang Dong-gun too.

I did that too before coming over.

What is the big deal about that?

Don't hit me again.

It hurts.

Lift your arms up.

Your skin is so soft.

Is there any special lotion you use?

It's just natural.

What is it?

Hey.

Apply more thickly.

I'm applying a lot already.

I have dry skin.

You must apply it more thickly.

Wait.

If you're applying lotion at my foot,

you have to apply foot care lotion.

What foot lotion?

Isn't it enough to just wear socks?

The perfection of fashion is shoes.

The perfection of the nudity is feet.

Didn't you know that?

Goodness.

Use the mint-colored tube.

You use so many different kinds of skin products.

South Korea...

Republic of Korea, they simply wrap their bodies in money.

It's such a waste.

Since you love applying it so much, you might as well apply to the eyeballs...

Mom, you're here?

Mom.

I pooped.

She washed the clothes and blankets three times,

but it still stinks.

How about we spray perfume?

Just say that the perfume bottle accidentally spilled.

I've already poured coffee over them.

Right, coffee.

It can reduce the odor and the color is just right too.

Right, Mom?

Could you all please leave us?

Do you know small mud clams?

You mean, eardrum?

Oh, small mud clams.

These are fresh mud clams.

Our family loves to eat mud clams.

Not clams seasoned with ingredients,

but clams boiled with soup.

I learned this from my mother-in-law, the previous queen.

No one can make the same taste,

no matter how many times they're taught

except for the daughters-in-law.

These clams have already been prepared, so you can add them directly.

Otherwise, you have to wash them clean until there's no more sand.

Like this?

More, like washing rice.

Also, you should stir in one direction.

By this way, they're cooked nicely.

It's easy to eat them later too.

Once you see the shells are opening,

just cover with the lid and boil for a while.

So that every clam is cooked well.

Then again, that's how all the clams become plump.

At the very least, can you not speak in that dialect?

I'll try my best.

The hospital food seems to be getting better.

This was made by our cook, not by the hospital staff.

Try this. It's her first time cooking it.

Really?

Then, I'm not eating it. You try it.

Thanks, Hang Ah.

It is delicious, but a little bit salty.

Isn't it one spoonful of soy sauce?

It has to do with the proportion of water.

But they are cooked just perfectly.

That's the most difficult part.

Must I eat it?

Salty.

Is there no meat?

You will have to endure it until the end of the mourning period.

Isn't it much better now?

Do you remember when your dad passed away?

That's right, I had to starve for four days then.

I thought I was going to die of hunger.

Looks like Jae-kang had a foresight.

He changed the rules before he died,

so that we don't have to starve.

If he was going to change things, he should've let us eat meat.

He wasn't a thoughtful man.

He was quite rigid.

Because he takes after me.

Sorry, I'm quite rigid.

Mom, come on. Don't be sulky.

Hey.

In fact, she is quite an introvert.

A little stingy.

Last time you said stingy, it was right.

Jae-kang.

Jae-kang.

You can hide behind me.

I'm a very suitable shield.

Your Majesty!

Hang Ah, thanks for your hard work.

When are you coming back?

What's the matter?

This is what you gave me earlier on.

Thank you.

You...

Just let it out.

What are you talking about?

I'm busy, I still have work to do.

You might fall sick.

Nothing is more important

than taking care of yourself.

Just cry your heart out.

You've crossed the line this time.

Yes.

Is it all right to delay for three hours?

Pardon?

I'm referring to His Majesty.

Delay his schedule for three hours.

If it can't be done, at least two hours.

Yes, do it as such.

Okay.

What is it?

That's right.

The meeting with the ambassadors.

That has already been canceled.

However...

The King's favorite food?

Well...

I'm not sure, he seems to like meat the most. Sausages?

PLAY VIDEO

This time, can't you just order meat for me?

Please order meat for me.

-I want to have meat. -"Can't you order meat,

-Please. -please?"

Just once.

"Just once."

What?

This is so hard.

And then, they have to be a little dumb.

"You're so cool! You're the best!"

Those kinds of girls are the best.

Honey.

You have something to tell me? What is it?

I just wanted to let you rest for a bit.

I have to work. I'm busy.

And I can't eat meat right now. You know that.

These are only sausages.

Don't tell me sausages aren't meat.

What's wrong with you?

It's okay to eat these. I have gotten it approved.

Therefore...

Please have a taste, honey.

Did you just say, "honey"?

Why are you acting so cheesy?

Have you been practicing?

No, I'm just expressing my honest--

Liar. I can tell you've been practicing.

I'm your number one fan!

To me, you're like Kim Sung Su and Cha Su Il.

And who are they?

You don't know?

Cha Su Il is a famous announcer in North Korea.

Kim Sung Su is a North Korean actor who was in a Chinese movie too.

In South Korea, they would be the same as Kim Tae-hee and Jeon Do-yeon.

Did you just say the lines from a drama?

"To me, you're like Kim Tae-hee and Jeon Do-yeon."

Hang Ah, you sure are trying hard.

-Go away. Just leave. -Why?

Go attend your meetings and read documents all night long.

Try another one.

This is really funny.

I'm not doing it for fun.

I just want you to cheer up.

I'm now in good spirits, really!

You did great.

Though you're not as pretty and sexy like those actresses,

but when it comes to being funny, you're the best!

So, do it again.

It's a waste not to do it when you've practiced it.

Just one more will do.

You're not allowed to laugh. Got it?

I understand. I won't.

I promise.

You're really...

You're impressive.

Hang Ah, what's with the props?

Are you going to use them to hit your stalker fans?

You don't have to worry.

No one would stalk you.

These are bear paws.

Compared with that last song,

I feel this song suits you better.

I'm just kidding. You're cute and good at dancing!

It feels relaxing to drink in a while.

I want to sleep here.

You've got 30 minutes left. You need to go and do your work.

Delay it longer. Aren't you a North Korean woman?

Just threaten them with a poisonous needle.

It will work.

Then, I'll wake you up later.

What are you doing?

I'm your future fiancé, the King.

-North Koreans don't-- -If you keep this up, I'll get concubines.

Do you want to practice polygamy?

Look at your skin.

Sit.

Haven't you done skin treatment yet?

Let me see.

That's strange. I apply a lot of skin products every day.

Besides, His Majesty complimented

that my skin got fairer.

When did I?

Jae-kang did?

Did you believe those words?

My brother is sly and two-faced.

That's how he seduced his wife.

You're so naive.

No.

He even sent me a picture.

What photo?

That...

The day he passed away.

He said he sent you the same one.

Didn't you receive it?

So that was a photo.

I deleted it.

I was annoyed

by his drunken behavior.

It doesn't matter.

We can just look at mine.

HANG AH, CHEER UP

That's not like him.

This pose doesn't suit him at all.

I...

hung up on him.

Jae-ha, you know

I love you, right?

Did you drink?

I...

hung up

on his last call.

With an open mind,

try and open your heart.

Then you'll be in paradise.

You'll be free from everything.

Did you think that I didn't know? I was just being sarcastic.

I'm hanging up.

I hung up on him.

I'm sorry, Jae-kang.

I really didn't think it would turn out like this.

Chief.

His Majesty hasn't come back yet.

He said he would come back in two hours yesterday.

I accidentally fell asleep while waiting and he's still...

Make sure this doesn't get out.

-Quickly send people over. -Yes.

No, I'll go there myself.

Your Majesty, we're coming in.

You should have sent him back.

It is still the mourning period.

-Even if he wanted this... -I was the one who invited His Majesty.

I'm sorry.

Hello. It's The Beatles.

Hello?

It's midnight there, so I apologize.

It's still daytime here.

But it will be bright soon over there.

I'm now chasing the sun.

I'm on my way to South Korea.

"The East," "The Land of the Morning Calm."

Will you kick me out this time again?

Every time I come back,

I can't stand this smell of kimchi and salted seafood.

It's an outdated country.

John Mayer? Who is he?

He's the head of Club M, a global company.

My head hurts.

Chief.

I saw 13 people this morning,

and I still have to see 27 people in the afternoon.

I'm taking only five to ten minutes even for important countries.

It isn't just an ordinary company.

This involves large-scale enterprises of over 136 companies in the world.

So he's rich.

Come on.

Follow my signal.

I feel extremely honored to meet you, Your Majesty.

Nice to meet you.

I'm very thankful for the opportunity

to be able to meet you like this again.

Have you met me before?

Don't you remember?

Can I offer a gift to Your Majesty?

It's charcoal powder and a customized phone.

It was found at the place where Jae-kang died.

It appears to belong to a North Korean.

Communists.

Did you have to kill my big brother to be a queen?

Otherwise, we are all being cheated.

Do you like her?

Your future fiancée from North Korea.

They've made an agreement.

Subject Kim Hang Ah to a public trial.

Lee Jae-ha is unable to protect you.

He doesn't have that intention either.

It's your one-sided love.

It's only you.

I'm very sorry, Your Majesty.

Do you think I'll fall for those who killed my brother?

He wants to confirm your sincerity.

I'll show him

until he's satisfied.
