Episode 14

You look exactly the same as then.

You've aged quite a bit.

There is no human that can cheat time.

Your kind cannot even live for 100 years...

yet you act as though you'll live for a thousand.

It's pitiful no matter how I look at it.

But, how did you manage to come back?

By any chance, have you really become a Thousand Year Evil Spirit?

Before I answer that, I have a question.

Earlier I saw a very strange person in the woods.

He wasn't human, nor a mythical being.

Almost like a combination.

He was also wearing your bracelet.

Who is he?

Who is he?

Did he forget what time to meet?

Oh!

It's Kang Chi.

Sorry about that.

Kang Chi.

You're late.

Dam Yeo Wool...

is that you?

You...

Why do you look like that?

Huh?

Even I dress up from time to time.

Why? Does it look weird?

Yes.

Which part is weird?

Just...

Everything.

Hey! Where are you going?

You said I looks weird. You wouldn't want to be seen with a weird-looking person.

No, that's not what I meant when I said weird...

Then in what way is it weird?

- You see... - See what?

It's not like you.

You seem like another person...

so it took me by surprise... that's what I meant.

This is me, too.

Okay, I understand now. Don't be upset.

Oh my, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.

Where are you going off to again?

It's the Lantern Festival. I have to buy a lantern to make my wish.

What do you think?

Do you like it?

I like it! It's really great.

But... what about your wish lantern?

I just hung it up.

That lantern... isn't that a wish for me?

What are you talking about? That's my wish.

To quickly find the Gu Family Book and make you a full human.

That's my wish.

Stop staring. You're making my face red.

Huh?

Okay.

How was it? Were your expectations met?

It was the Head Mistress's infamous Five Drum Dance.

Were you pleased?

It was kind of disappointing. (Japanese)

In the past, it may have been a marvelous show...

but now it's almost embarrassing.

She's aged considerably.

Should I relay your critique?

There's no point.

I apologize.

Although I gave it my all...

it seems my performance lacked the skill to move your heart.

What is that supposed to mean?

By any chance... was the performance not to your liking?

Earlier she commented that it was... shameful.

Oh my, what to do?

For the Head Mistress to be given such a critique...

surely there is no greater shame.

Isn't that so, my Lord?

What you said was right.

As Wol San stated, there is no greater shame.

In that case, the guest should answer her question.

- Which part was to your dissatisfaction? - Chung Jo!

After picking up the drumsticks for the first time in ten years...

The beat of her drum could shatter a heart.

She danced with more grace and delicacy than that of a crane.

Just which part was not to your liking?

Which part dissatisfied you?

I apologize.

She is still a new gisaeng and isn't fully trained...

- Please forgive her. - She was wrong.

The beat of the drums were too far apart, and the dance lacked spirit.

The performer did not put her whole heart into it.

In a word it was lacking.

Am I wrong?

Then...

Well then, please excuse us.

You sure have ruined my evening, Head Mistress Chun.

I don't know what to say...

I held this performance at your request, and for your enjoyment.

Yet it turned out this way and you were less than pleased.

Not at all.

Our Lady did in fact enjoy herself.

Is that so?

On that note, I wasn't aware that you're so fluent in the Joseon language.

Together with the late Merchant Miyamoto, she frequently studied the language.

I also taught her some things myself.

That aside, I almost mistook you as...

a Joseon native.

Now...

may we excuse ourselves?

Of course.

My Lord.

What is it?

Head Mistress Chun is here to see you.

What is it?

For today's events... please accept my apology.

Don't you think, it's about time you step down as the Head Mistress?

How is it that someone as experienced as you cannot even control a young gisaeng?

On top of that, you ruined the performance for a very important guest.

I apologize.

This will never happen again.

I'm not the one you should be asking for forgiveness from...

but from our guest that you've disappointed.

It's already too late tonight, so come back first thing tomorrow and apologize.

Wow, the lantern festivities must have begun.

They all look so beautiful!

What did you write as your wish this time?

Me? Well, just that our parents stay in good health, and...

- Success for the Hundred Year Inn. - Success for the Hundred Year Inn.

How can you write the same thing every year, verbatim?

It's just... those things matter to me the most.

Don't be that way, and add just one more wish from this year on.

"Please let me meet a beautiful woman and marry her." Period.

I already wrote that wish for him, Kang Chi.

How can I let my only brother spend his life alone?

- Isn't that right, Gob Dan? - Of course!

You kids... have gone too far!

Chung Jo...

- Who did that? - I'm sorry.

Just look at this gisaeng.

Are you trying to get me to drink with you? Is that it?

You've drank too much. Let her go and go your separate ways.

Wow, this girl is something else. You're really pretty. Beautiful!

Take your nonsense back to your wife, or just go to sleep peacefully.

Are you still scared of me?

Are you still afraid after seeing how I looked that time?

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.

I didn't know how I should tell you...

- so I prolonged it... - Does she know too?

The girl you were with earlier, Dam Yeo Wool.

Does she... know about your true self as well?

Yes.

- I see. - Chung Jo!

For helping me earlier, I'm grateful.

Should you ever visit Choon Hwa Gwan, I'll re-pay you with some drinks...

Chung Jo, what...

A gisaeng is offering you drinks, what don't you get?

Don't talk like that.

Whatever you wear or wherever you live, to me...

you'll always be Park Chung Jo.

So don't act like you're someone else...

and don't ever talk like that. You hear?

Are you telling a gisaeng to live her life pretending she's not a gisaeng?

Like a monster who pretends he's not one, and lives amongst others as a human?

I wonder which one's harder.

Accepting your fate and living with it, or living in denial the rest of your life?

Did she get back safely?

Yeah.

You've returned... to the person I'm used to seeing.

Let's go.

As expected... she's the most important person to you, isn't she?

The one no one can ever change your mind about or replace...

She's that person to you, isn't she?

Lady Chung Jo.

Oh... sorry.

I didn't mean to make it awkward.

I'm hungry.

Since we've been out all night, should we get some soup?

What?

- They left? - Yes, they left.

Kang Chi and Yeo Wool... the two of them?

Yes. I don't think either came in last night.

I'm going to kill him!

Hold him back.

- What are you doing? - Don't stop me.

I'm going to kill him right now.

If the Master finds out, both of them are dead.

It's not just Kang Chi. Yeo Wool will be in trouble too.

Here you all are.

Master.

Good morning.

Is something going on?

What would be going on? Nothing's wrong.

Gon and I were just stretching.

- Right Gon? - Yes.

That's right.

Gon, have you heard anything about Yeo Wool?

- Well... - I sent her on an early errand.

Really? Then Kang Chi?

I sent him with her.

- Isn't that right, Gon? - Yes.

That's right.

Then please tell Yeo Wool I'm looking for her.

Sure, I'll do that, I'll do that.

Gon, you did well.

Brother Gon! Brother Gon!

What's wrong? What happened?

Brother Kim... He has...

Where have you sent Yeo Wool and Kang Chi?

Where are those two?

- Want some of mine? - Why?

Aren't you hungry?

I'm not very hungry since it's early.

Still, you should enjoy your breakfast.

Hey lady! Cancel my two bowls.

I feel like I'm going to completely lose my appetite because of that trash.

What do you mean trash?

Look here.

Are you talking about us?

Since he's a murderer, he's trash, isn't he?

That's right.

What?

Who are you calling a murderer?

- It's fine. Stop. - What do you mean it's fine?

We have to correct them when they're wrong.

How long are you going to live taking the blame?

It's true that Lord Park died because of me. I couldn't protect him.

Even if they curse me, I have nothing to say.

Because the truth is, I couldn't protect him.

Don't show up in this village again.

And be careful he doesn't turn against you.

Yeo Wool!

Watch out for yourself.

Why, you little...

We understand so give it a rest.

Why is it so loud first thing in the morning?

Who's this? It's Choi Kang Chi.

- You're alive? - Of course I'm alive.

What are you all doing up so early?

What's wrong with you? He's asking you what's going on.

Mindless fool.

I'm asking them, not him.

What?

You little punks. What are you doing bothering my Kang Chi?

You little, no good, dirty scumbag punks!

You're still not going to get lost? You little!

Well, there. Did you have breakfast?

Your inside...

Are you sick? This is Choi Kang Chi.

What do you mean Choi Kang Chi?

Make sure to put an honorific with his name. If not...

- I'll break you in half. - Hey Ma Bong Chool.

What's wrong with you so suddenly?

Hey there, why are you being so shy?

I may not be the classiest human...

but I know how to be grateful to someone who helps me.

What does he mean?

It's just something.

Keep your mouth shut.

Of course, if you ask of it, I'll keep my mouth tightly shut.

My life's savior?

If you're ever in trouble, just call me over.

No matter what, I'll come right over and take care of it.

Got it?

So long. See you later!

Lucky for you Kang Chi. Now you have a tough pal to look out for you.

Oh my head.

Gon. What are you doing here?

- Your father is looking for you. - My father?

Did my father find out I went out?

- Did Kang Chi get caught too? - No way.

Did we both get caught?

Brother Kim has been killed.

- What? - What do you mean?

What happened?

What are you trying to do?

I have to see for myself. Let me see.

First, answer me.

What were you doing last night?

What are you all doing?

This is being disrespectful to someone who's in mourning.

Still we have to know!

Answer me. What were you doing last night?

He was with me all night.

You were with Kang Chi all night?

- What do you mean? - We went to the festival.

We spent the night looking through the festival...

Are you in your right mind?

Everyone's worried that Jo Gwan Woong might be after the Admiral.

- You were exploring the festival? - Kang Chi's had a hard time fitting in.

It bothered me that he was always left out and misunderstood.

Why do you have those feelings for Choi Kang Chi?

- Father. - How can you do this to me?

Up till now, you were never the sort of daughter to do this.

That's why I've always trusted you. But now--

But you can't trust my feelings for Kang Chi?

I am greatly disappointed in you this time.

I apologize Father.

- But... - That's all.

Don't say anything more.

Master.

Yes, Tae Seo.

- What is it? - I've made my decision.

- Have you thought it over? - After today, I couldn't put it off any longer.

Do you think Jo Gwan Woong killed Kim?

I heard Jo Gwan Woong knows about Kang Chi.

He's trying to get Kang Chi and our school in trouble by killing people this way.

I will go to the Hundred Year Inn.

Tell me what I have to do.

It is I, Head Mistress Chun.

Sit down.

What brings you here?

I came to apologize on behalf of my young gisaeng for last night.

I hear you've been at Choon Hwa Gwan for a while.

It's been around twenty two, twenty three years.

Twenty two, twenty three years.

I see.

The truth is, I was very moved by your performance last night.

It's very impressive that your skill is at that level ten years after you last held a drum stick.

Then how come yesterday...

I've heard that the Head Mistress never greets people outside.

I also heard she never accepts private invitations.

I had to make a point of being rude so that you'd find me like this.

So you were the one who acted rudely.

- I apologize. - Not at all.

That won't be necessary.

I'll get going then.

Why don't you invite me to Choon Hwa Gwan some time?

I'm sorry, but we don't allow women who are gisaengs to Choon Hwa Gwan.

It's not a place for people like you to come and enjoy.

But what if I really wanted to go?

There are only two ways a woman may enter Choon Hwa Gwan.

Become a gisaeng. Or become the owner.

Excuse me.

Become a gisaeng. Or become the owner, she says.

Where have I seen her before?

Who do you mean?

That woman we saw before...

She looks familiar.

I think I've seen her before.

Should I look into her?

Move carefully.

Don't forget we still have to look good for them.

Don't worry, sir.

Where have I seen her?

I called you all here for an important reason.

Tae Seo will have to leave Moo Hyung Do Gwan.

What do you mean leave? Where will he go?

The Hundred Year Inn.

Tae Seo.

Someone needs to go and find out what he's really up to.

So you're going to do that? By yourself?

Jo Gwan Woong still doesn't know that I broke out of the spell.

Send me instead. I'll go.

That won't do.

Did you forget about the Admiral?

- Master! - Kang Chi...

You do what Master Gong Dal instructs you to do.

That'll be your priority.

Brother Kim has died.

People keep dying in the woods, and no one knows why.

Gon Yi will look into that.

Got it, Gon?

Yes, Master.

And Yeo Wool...

Yes, Father.

Once Tae Seo returns from his mission, you two will be married.

Master.

Father. This is too sudden.

Why would you so suddenly say...

It's not sudden. I've been planning it for a while.

But Father!

You won't be involved anymore in Moo Hyung Do's activities.

You must learn your duties as a woman and a wife.

I hope everyone wishes Tae Seo the best.

That is all.

Did you have to say something so abrupt?

If we don't do this much, we won't have control over the situation.

Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool, it's me.

May I come in for a moment?

I will open the door for a bit.

Lady.

Don't bother.

I want to be alone.

Go away. Don't come near me.

Go away.

Go away!

Park Chung Jo, you wench.

You said you didn't want him.

You said you didn't want him because he's a monster.

Chung Jo.

You have a visitor.

Come on in.

Lady.

Gob Dan!

This is my gift to you.

I have an order to serve you starting today.

Now that you've received a present, you need to give me something in return.

Go ahead and sit down.

How is this child a gift?

What else would she be?

She was mine to begin with before you took her away.

What did I tell you? She is a brash, stubborn girl.

What should I give you then to give you happiness?

Will you give me back the Hundred Year Inn?

Then I think my heart will be eased.

Who do you think you are? How dare you?

Maybe you should start off by getting rid of that wench sitting next to you.

Then I think I'll feel a bit better.

My Lord, how long will you tolerate her rudeness?

Go outside.

Didn't you hear? Chung Jo asked for you to be removed.

Wait outside.

How could you do this, my Lord?

- How could you... - I said get out!

Now. Will you come pour me a drink?

You're doing better than I thought.

Didn't you teach me the way?

To do everything I can to survive.

- That's right. - That's what I've decided to do.

I'm will survive and no matter what, I will kill you by piercing your heart.

That's right.

That's the look you should have in your eyes. I approve.

- That's right. - Very good.

Just hold on.

Until the day you stab me in the heart...

I'll have you by my side to keep an eye on you.

Why does your face look so concerned?

You scared me!

Make a noise when you come around.

Otherwise you'll scare people.

Why? Are you losing your mind because Yeo Wool's getting married?

It's not like that.

How many have you counted?

I think about 6000.

With your bracelet off, how many have you counted?

How could you say something like that?

What do you mean take off my bracelet?

At Moo Hyung Do, I swore I wouldn't take the bracelet off.

- Really? - Of course!

- I see. - That's what I'm saying.

I understand.

Just keep counting the beans.

But you know what Kang Chi?

Is it Yeo Wool... by any chance?

What?

Is she the reason you don't change even without the bracelet?

I see.

I wonder why that happens?

Why? What?

To be honest, I don't know the reason either.

Why it happens when Yeo Wool is by my side...

Who are you?

Who are you?

Say your greetings. This is Admiral Lee Soon Shin.

Hello, I am Gon Yi.

Well, at last I am able to properly greet you.

I am Gong Dal, head of housekeeping.

Hello, I am Park Tae Seo, whose father ran the Hundred Year Inn.

Hello, I am Head Mistress Chun.

We are here to swear our allegiance to the nation.

Please accept our services.

Thank you everyone.

But I warn you, the road won't be easy.

It might be... a lonely journey.

Protecting the country isn't an easy task.

Since the journey isn't easy, how can you go it alone?

If our service can be of any help...

it would be a deeply meaningful aspect of my life.

I will do everything in my power to give you strength.

Even if it means risking my life, I will be your shield.

Please accept our intentions.

- So, you came? - You said it was my last chance.

You said that you would do worse to my sister if I didn't.

So did you find out what Lee Soon Shin intends to do?

- I did. - And what is that?

He is going to build a ship.

A ship?

You mean a military ship?

I don't think it's a typical military ship.

If not...

He's going to make a new type of armed battleship.

Armed battleship?

Do you think I should tell that to Jo Gwan Woong?

We'll have to tell him that much for him to buy into it.

We have to figure out if he has any intentions beyond his current doings.

That's what you need to figure out.

Armed battleship?

What on earth is that?

This is something I was able to sneak away.

Who is he?

Who is the child?

It's Seo Hwa's son.

- Seo Hwa. - The human woman you married.

Seo Hwa...

She had a son?

He's your son as well.

After what happened to you...

Seo Hwa birthed your child alone.

So what?

Where is she now?

She passed away not long after giving birth to the child.

She died?

That's right.

A shame. I wanted to break her neck myself.

What do you mean?

Did you ask why I came back?

It's to annihilate everything.

No, Kang Chi.

What do you mean? You can't find Kang Chi?

We went to tell him it was dinnertime, but he wasn't there.

We looked for him, but we can't find him.

He's probably just hiding in the woods again.

Hey. How could you say that?

Be careful at night.

You never know when he might turn on you.

Don't you remember what Master Gong Dal told us?

Don't accuse anyone without proof.

Why is everyone taking that guy's side?

Why him and not us?

Then how come you two keep taking different sides?

What do you have against Choi Kang Chi?

But he's not human.

He came to us to become human...

Just as you all came so you could live like human beings.

I'm not taking Kang Chi's side.

Even if you were in Kang Chi's position, I would have defended you.

So you just watched Yeo Wool take off?

We couldn't stop her from going...

I sincerely apologize Master.

- Gon. - Yes.

I'll be back.

Follow me.

Kang Chi!

Choi Kang Chi!

Choi Kang Chi!

Kang Chi!

Monk! Monk! Are you here?

Are you here, Monk? Monk!

Monk!

Monk! What's wrong?

Who did this to you?

Kang Chi...

Hurry and go.

Run far away from here.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean run away?

What do you mean?

He has appeared.

He's trying to kill you.

Who do you mean by 'he'?

Wol Ryung.

Your father.

Hurry and run away.

Run far away to a place he can't find you.

Kang Chi. Hurry...

Kang Chi.

Is that you?

Who's there? Show yourself now.

Kang Chi. Help me!

Choi Kang Chi!

Yeo Wool!

Yeo Wool.
