What are you touching? Hands off!

I am not trying to touch you!

I'm trying to take my hands out.

I need to get my hands out to try something.

Gosh, forget it. Just stay still.

You can't get out of this thing by wriggling like that.

Then what? What do we do?

We'll roll together.

Roll on the count of three.

All right. One, two, three!

Wait!

I...

do not wish to roll.

-What? -I...

shall stay like this.

What?

You said you were uncomfortable.

Are you actually enjoying this situation?

There's a rat

behind you.

What?

It's coming close to us.

Oh, our eyes met.

What do we do now?

Jeez.

It's just a rat. Don't make a fuss about it.

What if it suddenly jumps onto my face?

So let's roll.

I'll do anything but that.

This mat has been rolled clockwise.

-If we roll-- -We'll end up squashing it.

Wouldn't it be better than letting it jump onto your face?

-I don't want either. -Just roll!

No, I won't do it!

-One, two, three! -Gosh!

EPISODE 4

What took you so long?

How did it go?

Did you manage to stop them?

Of course. It was a piece of cake.

I told you not to worry.

Good. You didn't hurt them, did you?

Of course not.

Tie them up quick.

Huh?

With what?

-Did you not bring a rope? -You didn't tell me to bring one.

What do we do then? They'll wake up soon.

Gosh, you just can't do anything right.

How about this instead of a rope?

Oh!

I'm sure they're just having a good time now.

Huh?

Oh, here you go.

If you need our help again, call us anytime.

We'll make sure they never cross this mountain.

Good. All right.

Hong-sim!

Goodness! Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Father.

How did you know we were here?

I was worried, so I followed you.

By the way, what on earth happened?

Nothing happened. You don't need to worry.

What do you mean nothing happened?

I killed a living thing.

You killed a living thing?

What do you mean you killed a living thing?

Did you kill someone?

I squashed a rat with my back.

I had never had such a terrible experience.

This all happened because you insisted on going to the upper village.

You wouldn't have killed anything if you had stayed home.

Come to think of it, this is all your fault!

Why did you insist on going there?

What,

do you think I did it for my sake?

It was to help you get paid.

I don't need that money!

So don't ever mention going to the upper village again.

Good. You've made a wise decision.

Your home is not in the upper village anymore, Won-deuk.

You'll live with us in Songju. All right?

Now let's go home.

Hurry. You too, Won-deuk.

Let's go.

Forget it.

Aren't these

beef fillets, the Crown Prince's favorite?

They're also your favorite, Your Majesty.

I heard that you've lost your appetite, so I told the kitchen to prepare them.

How could you be so thoughtless?

We don't even know if the Crown Prince is dead or alive.

When I'm supposed to eat less as a father, you told them to serve me beef fillets?

But we can't let you ruin your health.

I'm sure the Crown Prince will return safely.

-So-- -Do you really mean that?

Maybe

the truth is that you hope he'll never return.

Father.

Do you also think

I harmed the Crown Prince so Prince Seowon could take over his position?

Everyone suspected me when something bad happened to the Crown Prince.

When he fell from his horse and injured himself

a few years ago,

everyone said

I must've cursed him.

But no.

I never did so.

Mother

sincerely hopes that he's safe.

She said she's afraid because she may be

suspected of being behind this attack,

and, as a consequence, put my life in danger.

Please believe in her sincerity.

I was sensitive and went overboard.

Queen.

Please don't take what I said to heart.

Your Excellency.

Just searching this mountain won't do.

The dead body of his closest bodyguard has also yet to be found.

That suggests they may have gone down to the village together.

We've been ordered to do this in complete secrecy.

We need to consider all possibilities.

Please allow me to draw His Highness's portrait and ask around.

How dare you tell me what to do

as a mere major?

If we hastily expand the scope of the search,

it may take us longer to find him.

What if it causes trouble?

Will you take responsibility?

I apologize.

Do a more thorough search.

Check every crevice and bush in the mountain!

Yes, Your Excellency.

I don't want to go.

Why not?

I'm so depressed to learn that I'm a penniless orphan.

That's why you should move your body.

I didn't sleep well, so I'm tired too.

You slept just fine.

My wounds haven't healed yet, so I can't move

my arm...

Your arm is just fine.

It's the other one.

We need to give two rolls of cotton cloth as tax.

We have to work our socks off to make money for that.

I don't want to work my socks off.

All I know is that you have to earn your keep.

I never ate properly.

-For goodness' sake! -Stop!

You two went through a lot last night, so just rest at home.

I'll cover for you today.

Turn over all the manure and twist a ten-chi-long straw rope.

Goodness.

You're a newlywed bride. Why do you look so depressed?

You're so slow-witted. Don't ask such a question.

It's obvious that she didn't get any sleep last night.

What type of man is he?

Is he good or bad

in bed?

I would say he's just an idiot.

He remains idle day and night.

Goodness, I hate you.

You got married with such a fine young man.

Your complaints are falling on deaf ears.

You won't believe this.

It turns out that he's penniless.

All he has is his own body.

Did you just learn that?

Haven't you known him for long?

Right.

I knew it.

But the more I think about it, the more it annoys me.

Goodness. How can you be annoyed by that face?

If I were you, I'd feel like humming.

-Me too. -Goodness.

Humming? Nonsense.

A snort is more like it.

Geez. Ouch!

What happened? Are you okay?

Goodness.

Gosh, this is an ominous sign.

Are you okay? Oh, no.

Am I the only one feeling uneasy about this house?

What do you think?

I can't stop thinking that it's uncomfortable.

Won-deuk!

Won-deuk!

Why didn't you answer me when I called you? That was frustrating.

"Won-deuk"?

I still can't get used to that name.

I can't get used to you either.

You're a commoner. How dare you speak like a nobleman from Hanyang?

Is that how I talk?

Then maybe

I'm a nobleman from Hanyang.

What? Are you drunk in broad daylight?

Stop your nonsense and return the wedding garments.

Geez, your behavior is odd too.

Take off your boots too. Hand them over.

Not these.

You have to return them after your wedding.

Hand them over.

I tried the straw shoes on, but they weren't very comfortable,

so I'll keep wearing these.

They belong to the government.

You can't keep them just because you want to wear them.

Hurry up and hand them over.

-I'm displeased with this. -What?

"I'm displeased with this."

What the heck are you saying?

Give me the boots.

I said I won't take them off.

I'm not in the mood to squabble with you over the boots.

-Give them to me. -No way.

Not these shoes.

What?

I can't believe this.

What the heck!

Won-deuk!

Won-deuk!

Hey, you!

Hey, Won-deuk!

Won-deuk!

This is killing me.

He lost his memories and his mind as well.

Who does he think he is?

Isn't this the finest silk from Seongcheon?

Oh my.

How can you tell just by looking at it?

It's by far of the best quality.

The silk is of the best quality, but the colors are unbalanced.

Have you got any in a candlelight color with a red trim?

You look shabby, but your standards are high.

I have one,

but I'm not sure if you can afford to buy it.

Go ahead and bring it out.

Oh, right.

I also need pillows embroidered with peonies

and a scarlet velvet mat.

Sure. I'll bring them right away.

Fifteen yang and seven bun?

Goodness. It costs a lot to carry them

from Hanyang to here.

All right. I'll be generous.

Fifteen yang.

Fifteen yang?

I can't sell them for less than that.

How much money

do you have now?

-None. -Not even a penny?

Are you joking with me?

It must be my unlucky day! A beggar is here bugging me!

Come on. You're so impolite.

How dare you speak to me like that?

Darn it!

Leave before I throw more salt at you!

Hong-sim!

Something serious is happening!

Goodness.

This isn't the time for this.

Meok-gu. Meok-gu is...

How dare you disobey us?

-Excuse me. I'm sorry. -Let us through.

Wait.

Why are they beating him?

Their kite got caught on the top of the tree,

and they told Meok-gu to go up and bring it down.

He went up this much and said he was scared and couldn't go any farther.

And now they're beating him.

Darn it!

-Goodness. -Beat him!

My goodness, Young Masters!

All you need is to get that kite down, right?

Are you saying you can climb a tree?

There's no need to climb the tree.

She got it!

I knew she'd get it.

If your kite gets caught in a tree again, please tell me.

I'll get it down for you.

No need!

-Hong-sim. -Meok-gu.

Let me see you.

It hurt a lot, didn't it?

You must've gotten bruises all over your body. Oh, no.

It's okay. Thanks to you, I got beaten less than I would have.

I told you

to come to me if something should happen.

I said I would take care of it for you.

I was going to do that,

but I stumbled and fell.

Did you?

By the way, why are you so nice to me?

When I was little, there was this idiot who lived in my neighborhood.

You smile just like him.

What happened to him?

Is he still an idiot?

I don't know.

Maybe he's less of an idiot now.

Goodness, it must've hurt.

Are you sure you're okay?

There are no empty seats.

I'm so hungry.

Should we have come sooner?

Is this restaurant's rice soup that delicious?

Haven't you heard about it?

People say it's indescribably delicious.

We should've come sooner. All the seats are full.

What are you doing? Let's go in.

We can't because there are no empty seats.

Oh my. Look at the soup.

Enjoy your meal.

I've never seen you around here.

Did you enjoy it?

I ate it because I was starving,

but it tasted very cheap.

You can't just leave.

You have to pay.

I just did,

but I guess you want to see it again.

Huh?

How dare you wink at me when you're still wet behind the ears?

My!

They cut your pay today because of Meok-gu.

Why did you offer help again?

You suffer a loss every time.

Think about the Chinese character for person.

It looks like this.

That means

people should help each other

and rely on each other.

Mencius also told people to have compassion.

What are you talking about?

Who's Mencius?

Huh?

Mencius

is a friend of my father's.

I see. I guess he's not from this village.

I've never heard that name.

Are you not going to pay?

-Isn't that your husband? -Look.

-What are you doing? -Why did you eat it

if you didn't have the money?

Yes, it's him.

Are you really not going to pay for the food?

What's going on?

This fellow had a bowl of rice soup

and tried to run away without paying.

This is not fair.

You let that man go

when he did this.

Why am I an exception?

Well, that man and I are...

This... Gosh, this is so frustrating.

Don't you know who I am? How dare you grab me?

She has to be severely punished for this.

Who are you?

I am...

Who am I?

Geez, he's being ridiculous.

Sure. Let's go.

Let's ask the county governor who's right and who's wrong.

Please stop!

Goodness.

Here.

For the food.

-What? -I'll pay.

Why are you

paying for him?

He's her husband.

They got married yesterday.

This idiot here?

That glare

makes me feel very uneasy.

Why did the Crown Prince tell me not to investigate this further?

No.

Why was he personally investigating it?

Why are you

looking into that again?

-The higher-ups told us to close it. -This isn't some kind of door.

We can't just close it.

Geez.

What are you doing?

Your Excellency. What brings you here?

Well...

Are you busy?

Yes. I'm investigating the murder of the female physician.

Goodness, poor me.

There's no one who can drink with me.

They say:

"Make haste slowly."

Today,

I'd like to take it slow.

Oh, boy.

Maybe

it's not amnesia.

Maybe you're just an idiot.

That can't be.

I've never done anything an idiot would do in my life.

A drunk man would never admit that he's drunk,

so an idiot would never admit to his stupidity.

What did you say?

By the way,

what's that outfit?

Where did you get it?

It's from my brother.

You have a brother?

Why didn't you tell me that?

It looks really expensive.

This is floral-patterned silk from Seongcheon.

It's of the best quality.

See this beautiful chrysanthemum pattern.

No.

How dare you?

Who's your brother?

Is he rich?

What?

What on earth is going on here?

This house was so filthy and displeasing, so I called some people to renovate it.

Where's my manure?

It took me three months to collect it.

I would've gotten paid at least ten bun for that.

Oh my!

The wallpaper isn't satisfactory, but it is bearable.

Hey. Where did you get the money for all this?

I told you I met my brother.

He must be really rich.

Tell me more about him.

I was at the market.

Leave before I throw more salt at you!

Aren't you being a bit rude to your customer?

Take whatever you want.

I'll pay for everything.

Are you serious?

You seem to have a pure soul and look like a nobleman.

"I've never seen a refined gentleman like you.

A face like yours is rare in this village.

I want to be friends with you since I believe you'll be someone great."

He said many other things,

but I'll stop here.

What's important is that he gave me money.

Did he have

a mole on the left side of his face?

-Do you know him too? -Didn't he ask you

-to stamp your hand on a document? -He did.

As an oath of brotherhood, he wanted me to stamp my hand on a piece of paper.

Stop, everyone!

Stop what you're doing,

and get out of here!

What's the matter?

The house is still under repair.

You really are an idiot.

Nothing is for free.

Not a bowl of rice soup, and not even a single plant.

We'll talk again when I get back.

Go ahead and finish what you're doing.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

You have no sense of beauty.

Add more red flowers to make everything harmonious.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

This is the final warning.

If you don't pay the interest by tomorrow,

I'll set fire to your son's house! Remember.

How could you talk a naive person into getting a high-interest loan?

We don't need any of it, so take it all back.

I'll take it back if you want to return it,

but the original amount won't change.

Thirty yang.

Read this to learn more about the interest.

Gosh, this is a scam.

You can buy a thatched house for 30 yang.

Who would borrow so much money without hesitation?

I know.

Your husband is surely clueless.

-Pay the interest in 15 days. -Why should I?

Just sue me. I won't pay it.

Don't scare me.

I wouldn't go through all that trouble.

I'll just sell

you instead of your husband.

-What? -Your husband looks like an idiot,

so he'd be useless.

Keep that safe.

If you lose that document, the original amount will double.

Won-deuk, that jerk.

I'll destroy him.

Oh, boy. Your house is amazing!

Tell me what the man looks like.

He has thick eyebrows

and a big mole on his left cheek.

He looks very kind.

I'm so annoyed.

I've been to the market loads of times, but no one's offered to give me money.

I can't just sit still.

Come with me to look for him.

I want to be his brother too.

What's wrong with you, Gu-dol?

He's a loan shark.

Don't you know what happens when you get a high-interest loan?

A loan shark?

Did you borrow money

from a loan shark?

I don't know.

My brother didn't say anything about that.

Brother?

You were deceived.

Who would give someone that much money without any strings attached?

Won-deuk. When Hong-sim returns,

kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

I'm a man. I don't kneel before women.

I think you should.

Otherwise,

you won't be able to survive.

Gosh, that startled me.

My goodness.

This is the one and only Aeryeon Pavilion.

I didn't know there was a place like this in Hanyang.

Welcome.

Hey.

Don't let anyone in tonight.

As you wish, Your Excellency.

This way, please.

Your Excellency.

Your Excellency.

Why did you tell her not to let anyone in?

I don't mind.

Your Excellency?

This way, please.

I'll serve them.

They told me not to let anyone in tonight.

I'm not just anyone.

I'm Ae-wol.

Goodness.

Why is she not coming back home?

What if the loan shark has harmed her?

Mr. Yeon.

I don't think this is the time to worry about Hong-sim.

-What? -I'm more

worried about him.

I should've asked them to hang lanterns on both sides of the gate.

Oh, boy.

Won-deuk.

This is no time for you to hang things.

Listen carefully.

When Hong-sim returns,

get down on your knees like this first.

And put your hands together

and look up at her like a pathetic dog.

If you can, shed a tear too.

If you can't, use your saliva.

Anyway, watch me.

"I'm really sorry.

I deserve to die. I know I do."

Did you see that?

Now do as I did.

I don't want to.

Don't you know what Hong-sim is like?

You'll be dead for sure this time.

Please just listen to Gu-dol. Will you?

Why do I have to beg?

This house looks much better after being renovated.

Gu-dol. You also said it looks amazing.

I admit that.

-I admit that your house is nice. -See?

-You've got to be kidding me. -Gosh.

Why are you back so late?

Are you in your right mind?

You borrowed as much as 30 yang.

That's more than enough to buy a house bigger than this!

What an evil man.

He never said that to me.

If he had,

I would've bought a new one instead of

renovating this one.

Oh my!

Hong-sim!

Kneel down!

It's too late.

Hong-sim! Pull yourself together!

You shouldn't do this!

Hong-sim! Huh?

Hong-sim!

Hong-sim!

-I'm going to get a divorce! -Hong-sim!

It's only been a day.

If the county governor finds out about this, he won't let it slide.

It's 30 yang.

It'll take us more than ten years to pay it off.

If we fail to pay the interest, we'll be sold into slavery.

I'll pay back the money.

I'll pay it back by all means.

Why should you?

He's the one who got the loan, so he should pay it back.

Hong-sim!

I must've been out of my mind.

I'm not going to get a divorce.

You

are so busted.

You got a loan and squandered it away.

That sounds very offensive.

You're shameless and selfish.

You bought things only for yourself.

Is that why you're glaring at me?

Since when did you become a jerk?

Before or after you served in the army?

If I knew that, I wouldn't be an amnesiac.

This room is small and stuffy,

but at least it doesn't hurt my eyes.

Floral-patterned wallpaper would've been better.

Everyone

would agree that he's handsome.

He's likable when he stays quiet.

He has delicate hands.

He should be good at twisting ropes.

His hands are perfect for the job.

He has strong thighs.

A man's strength comes from his thighs.

Oh, his thighs.

The way you look at me

makes me feel very uneasy.

I have the munchies.

Bring me some snacks.

If you wanted snacks, why didn't you buy rice first?

I wasn't wise.

Gosh, get out.

-Let's sleep separately. -This is my room.

I personally decorated it according to my taste.

So

if someone should leave, it should be you.

Oh, I see.

I forgot.

Since you decorated this room with the money you borrowed,

it's now yours and you'll be using it alone.

Then it's only right that you pay off the debt.

Did you just say, "you"?

Your father already pointed that out.

You're married to me, so I'm your husband.

Husband, my foot!

Goodness.

Why do you want to sleep here?

Since you two are married, you should share the same blanket.

Then you'll grow fond of each other.

I didn't think of this as a real marriage from the beginning.

My plan was to save my neck first,

then get a divorce and kick him out after some time.

But now,

I don't care about the plan.

Even if the sky falls,

I'll keep him here until he pays off the debt.

I'll consider him a worker, not my husband.

A worker?

Yes, a worker.

I really shouldn't tell you this.

It's top secret even in the palace,

so I really shouldn't.

I'll buy some honey.

And I'll eat a spoonful every day

until my lips are sealed.

Goodness.

His Highness the Crown Prince was attacked on his way to the rain ritual

and has gone missing.

I've been worried to death,

but I had no one to confide in.

It's been driving me really crazy.

What happened to His Highness?

Hey, man. If I knew that, I wouldn't be drinking here like this.

If something bad happens to him, I'll be ruined.

It'll ruin my sister,

my family,

and me.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

You got the highest marks on the state exam.

I actually switched my answer sheet

with someone else's.

His Highness has gone missing?

I'm Ae-wol.

I apologize. This is the wrong room.

Aren't you

Lord Jung Je-yun?

Do you

know me?

I understand.

I'm much prettier now, right?

You saw this face

in Jeodong three springs ago.

Do you remember now?

If you're a ghost, go away. But if you're a person, identify yourself.

I'm sorry. Actually,

I don't remember faces well.

My face isn't one that people easily forget.

I'm glad that I became a kisaeng though.

Since I came to Aeryeon Pavilion, I've been waiting for you

to repay your kindness.

Tell me your wish. I'll do anything for you.

Then please

put what we had tonight on his bill.

Are you doing well?

No, I'm not

because I saw a minor official like you

hanging out at a kisaeng house.

I'm just accompanying my superior.

Kim Su-ji?

Are you trying to form a connection with Lord Kim Cha-eon?

No wonder.

A man of low birth like you can't even dream of holding a high position

unless he becomes someone's dog.

Don't ever come to this kisaeng house again.

It isn't a place for someone like you.

Let's go.

You shouldn't come either.

I think you should refrain from coming to this kisaeng house.

You should humble yourself

since the country is in a troubled state.

He's rude, just as I've heard.

He doesn't know his place.

Tell me what you've learned from your investigations.

Maybe it has something to do with this case

if something really happened to His Highness.

WE SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS

"We solve your problems."

What?

I can read it too.

You can read?

Did you just laugh at me?

Come on, it's still early. Don't squabble.

By the way,

what does this mean?

I'll explain what it means.

-What? -What?

If you pay us, we'll solve your problems.

-Goodness. -That sounds ridiculous.

Why would we pay you to do something we can handle on our own?

-Right. -Come on.

Think about it.

You hate larvae, Yang-chun.

When this village was flooded with them last fall,

you asked me to catch them for you. Didn't you?

Well... Yes, I did.

Gu-dol. You once had to go to Hanyang because you couldn't get sable skin

to pay as your tribute.

But you had to be on duty,

so you asked me to go in your stead, didn't you?

Back then, I was...

Yes, I did.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Didn't you say people should help each other?

Until yesterday, you helped us for free. But now you want to get paid?

My goodness. Nothing is for free.

I don't think we'll have any customers.

People can hardly afford to feed themselves these days.

People are reluctant to do these three things.

Dirty, difficult, and dangerous work.

Something you'd rather pay someone else to do than do it yourself.

Does that mean

you're going to do such work now?

Of course not. Why would I when I have a husband?

I never agreed to that.

You didn't ask my permission either when you borrowed 30 yang.

Hong-sim!

-It's Yang-chun. -Hong-sim.

-What brings you here? -Goodness.

Hong-sim.

I need your help.

See? I told you people would come. Two bun.

You can't charge me before you hear what it is.

I may charge you more if I learn what it is.

Will you take the risk?

Fine. Two bun.

Go on.

I don't feel like doing it.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Don't you have a feeling

that someone will rip your blankets and clothes with a sickle if you don't go?

This arrow isn't from the market?

It may look the same as these arrows here,

but actually, it's not.

It's only expensive and hard to handle.

Even if you buy one,

you won't find a chance to use it.

Just take this.

I'm not here to buy arrows.

I'm looking for the maker of this.

Where can I find him?

Geez. How should I know that?

You should know.

I saw you sneak out of your house like a rat

during curfew hours.

-I wonder where your wife is. -Gajaeul.

Gajaeul.

That is

all I know.

Gajaeul.

Is anyone inside?

Is anyone inside?

Is he out?

I don't keep an account book

because such a thing would only cause trouble.

Don't worry.

No one knows who bought the arrows from me.

I'm glad to hear that.

But we can't say there are no records at all.

You know

who bought the arrows.

That's true.

Thank you for your help.

I can't even go number two these days because I hardly eat anything.

Yet he went spending all that money on renovating this house.

What?

It's only been a short while. Are you already done?

It wasn't something a person could do.

What was it?

I don't even want to talk about it.

You want me to find your ring that fell into this manure?

It's a yellow jade ring. It isn't worth a lot though.

Forget it if it isn't worth much.

My deceased mother bequeathed it to me at my wedding.

It's very precious to me.

Then find it yourself.

I have sensitive skin, so I break out in a rash easily.

Since it has already happened,

find it yourself.

So you left her place just like that?

She offered two bun.

Even if she offers a million yang, I won't dip my hands in manure.

All right. I understand.

It may not be easy to dip your hands in manure.

That unpleasant smell gave me a headache.

Bring me some cold baesuk.

What's baesuk?

You don't know?

Are you serious?

Baesuk is...

What is it?

For some reason, it sounds very familiar to me.

Baesuk?

What is it?

I don't think you're an amnesiac.

You're just an idiot.

Baesuk.

Can I make a request?

Sure.

I won't do it.

We should at least hear him out.

It's very easy.

All you need to do is stand still.

You heard him, right?

No way.

Are you sure all I need to do is just stand here?

Yes.

If you stand there,

leeches will come and stick to you.

Leeches?

What are those?

Those things on your legs now.

They'll suck your blood and become plump.

Then I'll sell them to a pharmacist.

-Hey! -Gosh!

Won-deuk!

I think I should go to Mt. Cheonu.

I saw a man asking around about the arrows.

The arrow that penetrated him is mine.

We can't have it be found on his dead body.

If someone finds out about the link between the two incidents...

That's impossible.

The murderer of the female physician

is someone else.

I'll find someone to take the blame.

Continue to keep an eye on that man.

Replace all your arrows,

but keep your bow safe.

It may come in handy someday.

Are you sure there's no need to go to Mt. Cheonu?

I think

it's time to see his dead body with my own eyes.

I'll go there myself.

What?

What's going on?

Why are you back already?

I'm never going there again.

I can't believe you made me do such a terrible thing.

But he said all you need to do is stand still.

Leeches were on me.

Those disgusting, ugly creatures were on my legs!

Look! Do you see this blood?

So what?

You came back

empty-handed again?

If you want to earn money, you go.

Even if someone offers billions of yang, I won't do such a thing.

I think you're misunderstanding something here.

I'm not asking you to feed me.

All I'm asking is that you earn money to pay off your debt.

I will.

How?

How are you going to pay back 30 yang?

I can't work for peanuts. It'll take me at least ten years to pay it off that way.

I'd better do something that pays me 30 yang at once.

Goodness.

There's no such a job that pays you 30 yang at once.

I'll think about it.

I just want to rest now.

Won-deuk!

Won-deuk!

Tell him I'm not at home now.

What's wrong with him this time?

Won-deuk!

Won-deuk!

Hey. Where's Won-deuk?

Where is he?

Why are you asking for him?

In my ten years at the office, I've never seen such a freak.

He runs away whenever he sees me

because he doesn't want to return the boots he borrowed for the wedding.

In a way, he's amazing.

Anyway, return them by the end of the day

or pay for them.

We won't have to pay for them

because I'll take them away and return them right now.

Hey, you!

Give them to me.

No way.

Not these boots.

Did you just say you'll go to Mt. Cheonu yourself?

I was thoughtless.

His Highness had good martial arts skills,

so I believed that he'd be fine.

But there's still no news from him.

I'm getting worried.

Right.

I also thought it was strange and lost sleep over that.

What he said to me

before he left weighs on my mind.

He said something horrible happened

and he had to take care of it.

I've been thinking about what it could be.

Maybe

he knew this was coming.

You can ask him

when he returns.

I hope I can do that.

But for some reason,

my heart is so heavy.

What do you think?

Who do you think is behind this attack?

I may be able to find the answer in Mt. Cheonu.

I'll make sure to bring him back.

And I'll hunt down everyone involved in the attack

and exterminate all their families.

Please count on me

and stay strong.

I'm counting on you.

I don't want to go home.

She's such a bad wife.

You're in no position to say that.

Even the Buddha would become a bad wife if her husband made trouble.

Hurry up and go home.

You two are newlyweds.

You should be sweet to each other.

Why should we be like that?

That makes me crave some sweets.

Cookies and cakes.

Delicious and savory.

Why is

His Excellency the First Vice-Premier coming to this village?

We met the goal even when we had a bad harvest.

Watch your mouth!

That's not what's important.

Anyway, please act as a bridge between him and me.

I want to get on his good side and go to Hanyang.

Try to get on my good side first.

What more should I do?

Oh, boy.

You should bow!

-Come on. -How dare you?

Just ignore him. Let's hurry.

I won't forgive you if you keep on doing that.

If you keep your head up like that, it may get you in big trouble.

When you see noblemen, the first thing you need to do is bow.

I don't think I've ever bowed to anyone.

Then there's no way you'd still have your head.

But I still have my head. Why...

I must go home.

-You... -Will you make up with Hong-sim?

Will you?

No.

I don't think this is where I belong.

What is he saying?

I'm afraid he'll make trouble again.

Ouch.

He bought silk?

I can't believe it.

Where have you been?

I'm off to pick herbs.

You sit here and twist some ropes.

We need to make 30 straw shoes in three days.

I won't do it.

There you go again.

All people have to work.

Why, you ask? To feed themselves.

You're an able-bodied man. Why do you insist on doing nothing?

Why?

Because

I'm not Won-deuk.

What?

Whoa.

Your Excellency.

You've come a long way.

Why did you want only a few of us to come and greet you?

We've prepared a liquor table at the office.

We'll escort you.

Do I look like I'm here for sightseeing?

As you ordered,

I'll have some strong young men deliver water and food.

By the way,

what's happening in Mt. Cheonu?

The Minister of Defense and his royal guards

are training in secret.

Oh, I see.

We didn't know there was something important going on.

If only you had tipped us off beforehand.

This is a royal order.

All you have to do is give us your support with sincerity

so this work can be done in secrecy.

-Sure, Your Excellency. -Of course, we'll do so.

Let's go.

What do you mean?

You're not

Won-deuk?

No.

I thought hard about it,

and I'm not him.

The first piece of evidence is

that your father asked me

what my name was when I recovered my consciousness.

What's your name?

Where do you live?

If I were really Won-deuk, he would've called me

that name instead of asking who I am and where I live.

Maybe that was to check whether or not you remembered everything.

Call my name.

Won-deuk!

See? I didn't turn around.

If I were really Won-deuk,

I should've turned around unconsciously,

but I didn't react to that name.

Is that why you think

-you're not Won-deuk? -Second.

I've never bowed to anyone.

That suggests that I'm of noble birth--

You have a leech on your leg!

You bow just fine.

Third.

Another one?

This is the third piece of evidence.

Is your heart beating fast?

-No. -Mine isn't either.

If I had promised to marry you,

if we

had spent a night together at the mill,

my heart wouldn't be as calm as it is now.

So

I won't do what you tell me to do

because I can't accept that I'm Won-deuk.

I wondered what that was for.

You're making all kinds of excuses now to get out of work.

It was a logical and rational argument.

You may not remember,

but you knew those flowers

from gut instinct.

They're my favorite.

That's why you planted this tree here.

We pinkie-swore like this. You promised me

that you'd make me happy

and that you'd do anything for me if I married you.

Did I?

Why did I promise that to you?

Because

you loved me.

You told me so on the night cherry blossoms

were floating about in the wind.

You said you liked me

and that you'd marry me.

That's why I waited for you

even when I was being beaten at the office.

What should I do

if you do this to me

now?

As a man, you should keep your word.

The man I fell in love with always kept his word.

Will you continue to sleep here?

Father.

I feel frustrated whenever I see his face.

I waited for a rope to hold onto, and I got a rotten one.

He even tried to use petty tricks

to get out of work.

Goodness.

He said he thinks he's not Won-deuk.

Goodness. I can't believe he said that.

How can he not even remember his own name?

By the way, Father.

Didn't you say Won-deuk is a hard-working person?

Sure. He used to be very hard-working.

And what else?

Was he good at anything?

Well, Won-deuk is...

I made

a promise to her?

I'm going to go to Mt. Cheonu.

Until I confirm the Crown Prince's death,

no one must find out about your pregnancy.

Where are my other clothes?

Where are the silk clothes I bought?

Won-deuk. Do you want to own only three pieces of clothing

or have ten new ones and change your clothes every day?

Ten, of course.

That's one of them. I exchanged the three pieces for them.

But these are not silk.

They're not new!

What's wrong?

To me, they look much better than silk ones or new ones.

Put your shoes on and follow Gu-dol.

They'll pay us 20 bun for delivering water jars to Mt. Cheonu.

We have to hurry.

The competition will be very high.

I don't want to go.

-I mean... -I hear Yang-chun hasn't found

her ring in the manure yet.

Where should I go?

-Come on. -Mt. Cheonu?

It's this way!

Dispatch all our men

to search the downstream areas as well.

The dead body

should be floating by now.

Yes, Your Excellency.

This place has a spooky atmosphere.

Did something happen here?

What are you holding?

You have to pull the milppi tight.

Or you'll spill the water.

What on earth is milppi?

Milppi is...

This is so frustrating.

These strings right here. This isn't your first time.

It is.

I've never done this before.

Don't lie to me.

Every man in Joseon carries water jars unless he's a nobleman.

-Are you a nobleman? -Quiet!

Keep it down and keep going.

Yes, sir.

RESTRICTED AREA

Oh my gosh!

Gosh! Won-deuk!

What should I do? Won-deuk.

Are you okay? Won-deuk!

Gosh.

What should I do?

Won-deuk!

The rumor has already spread throughout the village.

That your husband is GFNG.

GFNG?

A good-for-nothing guy.

Something serious happened!

Something serious happened, Hong-sim!

Won-deuk

made trouble again.

I heard you broke the water jars.

Now we have to pay for them too.

You did it on purpose so you could get out of work, didn't you?

-It was nothing like that. -Yes, it was.

I hate the Crown Prince so much.

If he hadn't given such orders,

I wouldn't have had to marry a man like you.

You said

that I loved you.

And that you waited

for me.

Forget it.

Whatever.

You don't remember any of that.

I'm also distressed

because I don't remember who I am.

Please help me remember

how

I loved you.

WE SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS

I want to know what kind of life I had

and the story between you and me.

Please tell me

what kind of man I was.

-I said, step aside! -I told you

there must be a huge conspiracy behind this.

You must bring me his head, no matter what happens.

I'm here to grant your wish.

They say your wish will be granted if the lantern reaches the sea.

I also feel like I've been

waiting for someone all my life.

Who is Won-deuk?
