Episode 18

I'm going to make you into a Won Hwa.

Also, I will make you live according to the fate of one.

You seem to know what happened to the Won Hwa.

I heard they were jealous of each other and

killed one another.

I killed them.

I needed a strong force to assist Silla's king.

So, I had to get rid of annoying impediments like the Won Hwa.

By using you, I will have the Hwarangdo in my hands.

If you become an annnoying impediment,

I will also kill you.

You probably want to run away.

No.

I won't run away.

Until you end my life,

I will survive.

Somehow, I'll endure and

find a way.

Useless hopes torment a person.

No matter how it struggles, a fish caught in a net

will lose it scales and a knife will pierce its throat.

Sometimes,

sometimes,

a struggling fish

can return back to the river.

She got caught.

Won Hwa or whatever, I don't know what that is.

Please tell me how I can take her out of there.

How can I know if you come here speaking so abruptly?

- You have to tell me in a way that I can understand.- You know what I'm talking about.

What can I do to take her out of there?!

Ji So is

going to use the Won Hwa to rise above the Hwarang.

Also, when she no longer needs her, she'll probably kill your sister.

Every time Silla's royal family was under a threat, they always had Won Hwa.

When they no longer needed them, they used all kinds of reasons to get rid of them.

Won Hwa were used by the royal family and

in the end, they all died.

That's why I'm asking you. What can I do?!

Do you want to become a real king?

If you become the King, you won't have to worry about your sister being harmed.

You can create the world you want. Also,

unlike your friend, you won't have to worry about losing your life.

Do you want to become the real king?

Exactly,

what are you to be uttering this nonsense?

Someone

who knows your father well.

Father?

Who's that?

If you're Seon Woo, it'd be Ahn Ji Gong.

Silla's most revered doctor and the epitome of a true bone.

If you're Sam Maek Jong, King Beopheung would be your father.

But,

if you're the nameless Dog-Bird, Moo Myeong, from Cheonin village,

you're my son.

I am

your father.

Won Hwa Joon Jeong

You...I have to kill you.

Your..Your Highness!

You'll continue to be a source of trouble.

Save my life.

Weren't we the best of friends?

A Won Hwa who only causes chaos in Silla's royal family

is no longer needed.

Just as Nam Mo died, you cannot live as well.

You must be framed for everything. For my son,

I have to kill you.

For the sake of my child, if you could just spare my life...

This child also has the blood of the sacred bone.

I will make sure he doesn't have a name. Even though I live, it'll be as if I'm not.

I will have him live so that he doesn't know or acknowledge his existence.

So, please.

Please spare my life.

That child must not be born into this world.

It's Tae..Tae Dong.

Ji So.

Why was I chosen as a Won Hwa?

It's not a punishment I want for you. For you, it's an undeserved honor.

I've never wished for something like that nor do I wish for it.

In your life, has there ever been an incident that occurred because you didn't wish for it?

My mother has already made the decision.

So, whether you want to or not, you will become a Won Hwa.

Also, now you'll come to know.

What kind of position a Won Hwa is.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Let me go to Seonmoon. It'll only be a moment.

I'll just bid them my respects and return.

Wash her and groom her.

Why are you doing this? Don't do this. Why are you doing this!

You, who haven't even soiled your hand with a single drop of blood,

You, who doesn't even have any idea what it means to protect the throne,

Shilla's real king?

Your Majesty, you must deal with it all.

Whatever that may be.

Whether the place is high, low, dirty, beautiful, dangerous, or peaceful,

If there's something you must do as the King,

you must deal with everything.

You must be very busy. Why did you call for me?

Why do you think I asked for you?

Since I'm disciplining the Hwarang well, to praise me for my hard work,

aren't you thinking of giving me a prize?

I'm thinking of bringing back the Won Hwa,

Come in.

In three days, after returning from paying worship to the shrine of Won Hwa Princess Nam Mo,

There will be an appointment ceremony for the two Won Hwa.

The Won Hwa will now become the head of the Hwarangdo and lead the Hwarang.

Poong Wol Joo, you will have to make room for them as the heads at Hwarangdo.

Poong Wol Joo, pay your respects to the two Won Hwa.

Poong Wol Joo, pay your respects to the two Won Hwa!

Your Highness the Queen Dowager, is this what you had wanted from the start?

That's right.

Didn't you train people with outstanding talent for Silla's future?

Now the Hwarang are becoming those kind of outstanding individuals.

What I wished for was to have those individuals kneeling in front of my feet.

That's what I had planned.

It will not turn out the way you want.

Because they're already not the type of Hwarang that you think they are.

Ah Ro Won Hwa, you're really beautiful.

Am I?

Yes.

But I,

am not happy at all.

If you're the nameless Dog-Bird, Moo Myeong, from Cheonin village,

you're my son.

I am your father.

She's going to abandon the Hwarang and create the Won Hwa?

I heard you went to Wolsung, what about Ah Ro?

Your sister seems safe and sound as of now.

Rather than being here, she seems to look much better.

Why? Did you come here because you were curious about that?

Why aren't you doing anything? Knowing full well what kind of person the Queen Dowager is!

What do you want from me? Do you want me to take a sword and cut off her head?

In the end, the same kind will be using their power to do the same things.

If I obtain power,

is the King exempt from this kind of incident?

I'm asking if you're exempt from dealing with this kind of situation if you're the king.

You wait here.

Yeong Sil Gong, I came because there is something I need to tell you.

Did you bring the King's head?

I'm positive I told you to do so.

Let's talk about other things afterwards.

The stepping stone.

What are you doing instead of bringing it over quickly?

Please step on me.

Please get up.

He already left.

Did you hear? The king's head.

You'll have to do it.

The King who's in the Hwarang. Bring that guy's head.

Seon Woo!

Where are you? In the room?

No one's here.

Hey, don't you see me? When I go outside, do you know what kind of person I am?

Did you see where Seon Woo went?

You're always after Seon Woo, seriously!

Where is he?

If you become the King, you don't have to worry about your sister getting harmed.

You can create the world that you want. Also,

unlike your friend, you won't lose your life.

Do you want to be a real king?

Here you were!

There's no such thing as the first path in the world. Someone has to be the first to walk on it for it to become a path.

One must thump on firm soil, break it, and dig a hole through it so that

a waterway also forms.

What are you doing?

I'm writing a letter to my grandfather.

This time, I'm really going to tell him everything in my heart.

I'm going to make sure he no longer bothers my older brother because of me.

Me being like this, so I mean defying my grandfather,

is my first time.

Why are you doing that all of a sudden?

You're totally cool.

Do you think a scaredy cat like me

can also be like you? Can I also

make something

like a path as well?

I'll walk with you.

For real?

It's for real. You promised!

It's for real, right? You promised!

- That's right.- Yes! It's for real, right?

You promised.

Before the Won Hwa appointment ceremony, Princess Sook Myeon and Doctor Ah Ro will be going to the shrine of Won Hwa Nam Mo for worship.

Are you talking about that Princess Nam Mo who lost her life to Joon Jeong?

That's what the public knows, but there's gossip that Joon Jeong was framed. Because the body wasn't found yet, there's also talk that she's still alive.

This is our only chance.

- When they return from the shrine of Princess Nam Mo, take Ah Ro.- What about afterwards?

Send her anywhere. Whether it's the Western Countries or China. Wherever Mother can't touch her.

Because this seems like the utmost I can do right now.

Stop looking at me.

The more I look at you, I miss you.

Why?

Just looking at you is more than I deserve. If I also touch you, I'm afraid I may be punished.

I'll receive the punishment.

Twice over.

You, do you like Soo Yeon?

Yeah. I like her, alot.

You know you two won't work out, right? Your father and ours,

won't give you two their blessing. Both of you will only get hurt and that'll be the end of it!

So, give it up.

Are you also worrying about me right now?

I'm worrying about Soo Yeon. Because she'll be worrying about you.

I'll walk together with you.

How cool.

Han Sung.

- What is this?- He told me to give it to you.

- Who?- I don't know.

♬ was more than I could bear ♬

♬ You were there. Like a dream ♬

♬ then another world which I came to know♬

This is Hyung Dan Se's so why did he send it to me?

♬ became a light in your breath ♬

Hyung!

What are you doing here?

You used to run away every time I asked you to practice swordsmanship. Why did you come?

I don't do that anymore. I also have someone to walk with me.

What are you talking about?

This.

Why did grandfather send this to me? He could've sent it directly to you. Right?

What is it?

Isn't it time for Poong Wol Joo's lecture? If you skip it again, grandfather will scold me again.

Okay.

It's Seon Woo!

Why do you look cool today?

Aigoo, you're much better looking, you punk.

- Did you eat?- Yeah.

If our family can't join hands with Yeong Sil Gong this time,

I'm going to take my life along with Han Sung's.

Why Han Sung?

- What sin did he commit?- Do you speak that way even after seeing the humiliation I've suffered?

If this plan doesn't work out, next time, Han Sung will be the one bending over as a stepping stone.

I can't allow the descendants of the Seok family live like that.

Are you

threatening me?

Apply this poison on your sword. Even the slightest scrape will cause one to be poisoned and die.

If you fail to kill the King, Han Sung and I

will drink this poison.

I plan on keeping your sister beside me as a Won Hwa.

She will use the Won Hwa to overpower the Hwarang. Also, when she is no longer needed,

She'll probably kill your sister.

Would you

like to spar with me?

- Let's do it later.- No.

Now.

I apologize.

You apologize? For what do you apologize so much?

I told you to speak comfortably with me. How many times do I have to tell you? You and I are the same.

If you can avoid me, please do so. Don't let yourself fall behind a single blow. You must not let yourself have the slightest cut.

These words are the utmost consideration I can show you.

Anyway, your swordsmanship will be better than mine.

- Why are you being so serious?- If you have the opportunity, you must kill me.

Because I'll do the same.

- Exactly what's the matter with you?- You talk too much.

Do it in the underworld.

Kill no matter what

No!

You...what are you doing?

What are you doing, Hyung? Why are you doing this?!

Let go! Let go of it!

What if I let go?

Then you'll cut Seon Woo again.

Han Sung!

Why did you apply the medicine grandfather gave you here?

Why did you do it? You're a good older brother.

No!

What did you do, you jerk. What is it that you know?

Poison. It's poison. Deadly poison.

Aish, seriously!

I...am okay.

Doctor Ah Ro will heal me.

That's right. Don't lose your consciousness.

Us...you said we'd walk together, right?

That's right.

My Hyung...don't hate him.

Alright, I got it.

♫ How far will I dream? ♫

♫ Will it be happy? ♫

♫ My goodbye which leaves behind countless memories seeking you ♫

♫ One step at a time as the distance increases ♫

♫ While your love becomes more visible ♫

What's the matter with this rascal? ♫ Will I forget how much it hurt and ♫

♫ how tightly you were held by my heart ? ♫

What's the matter with you? What's the matter with you!!

♫ Don't worry me any more ♫

♫ Stop letting go of my hand ♫

♫ If there is a way which can take care of you ♫

♫ Wherever that is is fine ♫

♫ Even if I am leaving far away, ♫

♫ don't cry too sorrowfully ♫

♫ Promise that there will only be bright memories ♫

♫ and say that I am the person you will remember ♫

I know that you don't want to live,

but don't die.

I also know. That heart.

This.

He said he was sending it to his grandfather, but somehow it seemed like a letter meant for you.

Also,

I'm saying this in case you might want to confirm with me,

you're still my Nangdoo.

Grandfather, it's Han Seong. I'm doing well at Seonmoon.

Although at first, you placed me here against my will,

Now, I've come to like living here.

Starting from a friend that I like, I've learned that a path that doesn't exist can become a reality.

One by one, if a person leaves behind their footprint,

if one can travel together, I've learned that even a rough path becomes a path.

The reason I've writing this letter is because, from now on, subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

I'd like to tell you that I will receive the punishment I deserve.

Hyung hasn't done anything wrong. Social status, bone rank, although I may not know much about those things,

Hyung is just my older brother.

♫ Even if I can't hug you again ♫

He's the most trustworthy person in the world who's on my side.

♫ I will follow every familiar step and keep going ♫

♫ Don't worry me any more ♫

When tears come out, cry to your heart's content.

Still in Silla, there seems to be those who shake up the Hwarang and

believe that it's alright to do things their way.

But, never again,

never lose a friend again.

Grandfather, I'm learning how to be an adult in this place.

Not leaning on anyone, and taking responsibility for the decisions I made.

Don't be silenced by an order created by another.

You are not a horse on a chessboard. You are Hwarang who are freer than anyone else in this world.

♫ in this life where we laughed and cried together ♫

The fact that you are Hwarang

♫ Without any ugly regret ♫

Never forget that.

♫ My love will breathe forever in your heart ♫

♫ I loved so that I was blinded ♫

♫ you were all the world to me ♫

Grandfather, I even met a Hwarang hyung who said he'd walk the path together with me.

I will live freely.

Without thinking of family or power, I will live as a Hwarang.

♫ So I will be able to smile. ♫

What a pity. A young and weak life unfortunately left us.

But it isn't a death in vain. Now everyone will believe even more that he's the king.

I don't believe it's a matter to be thought of only in that way.

Day by day the number of subjects looking forward to

Seon Woo as the new king here is growing.

Their expecting to see a phony is futile.

But. if this continues, it may grow out of control.

Your Majesty.

Gakgan has arrived.

Gakgan?

Why have you come before me?

Abdicate.

When I consider the future of Silla and listened

and thought carefully about what was said last time,

at this point abdication is the right idea.

What trick exactly is he trying to pull?

Your majesty, the royal council...

What's the meaning of this?

Abdicate!

The time to give up is now.

Will you cope alone with this continuing heavy burden?

There is no reason to delay any further.

There is none. Please abdicate.

Step down. Abdicate!

You are making as the real king a fake whom you promoted

and made a protector of Sam Maek Jong.

Abdicate!

Aigoo, Elder.

Your face is not the bright face of the returning physician who defeated the plague in the Cheonin village.

There isn't any medicinal herbs.

Even toxic plants were fed.

After watching a patient coughing up blood and dying,

I was confused as to whether I was a physician or a murderer.

While waging war there, this place here,

every place was too complacent.

It's not that there is no war here too.

Your daughter has become Wonhwa

Wonhwa?

Ah Ro... has become Wonhwa?

For the plague, did you use toxic herbs?

- Just why? - This is the situation in Silla now.

We are facing a plague epidemic

and like the Cheonin village, there is no medicine.

What should be done now?

Are herbal medicines expected to fall from the sky?

or will you try to use toxic herbs?

We should make

your son, no my son, the king.

- Do. Do. Do. (In the game of Yut, Do is 1 stick is flatside up and 3 three are round side up.)

Mo. It's Mo! (All sticks round side up).

Do, Gae, Geol, Mo, Eopgo (Teammates moving in Tandem), Eopgo.

- Now. - Geol ( Geol: Three flat side up and one round side up)

Geol.

- Geo-eol! Geol! Do, Gae, Geol, Capture.(Opponent is sent back to "home" and has to start over)

Now, Gae.( Two spaces forward on the game board )

Do. ( A Do is worth one space forward)

Gae! Gae!

Gae.

Now, here it comes.

Sorry.

Now, how about another game?

One more!

Okay.

It seems in the interim you've been getting chummy.

I see your skill is fortunate.

Finding a way to endure is important.

Not knowing what your orabeoni's life may become.

What are you saying?

Is something going to happen to my orabeoni?

He was mistaken as the king and Seonmoon was attacked.

Aren't you even going to ask what happened?

My orabeoni is safe.

How can you be thinking that?

Because I believe in him.

I'm sure he will be okay.

Even when your brother is put in harm's way because of you.

do you comfort yourself by thinking that?

You want to use any pretext to provoke me,

but I will never fall for it.

Why not?

I must survive.

Because that is the way I will protect my orabeoni.

Tomorrow you will go to the shrine of the Wonhwa Nan Mo.

Are you making my daughter a Wonhwa?

She will be in a position to become head of the Hwarang.

I will honor her.

Do you think you can still toy with me?

I am this country's Dowager Queen.

There isn't anything I won't do to protect the throne.

Your son will never sit on the throne.

Before that, I intend to make

my son the king.

A worthless lineage with Cheonin blood flowing on the throne?

Do you think that's possible?

It seems you have made a mistake.

That child is qualified to sit on Silla's throne.

- Qualified? - Joon Jeong.

That child is Joon Jeong's son.

The son of Wee Gyeong Gong, a Silla Sacred Bone.

It's time. Let's go.

The person I have to win over? I have to win Park Yeong Sil over?

Have you won him over?

No, because it doesn't suit me; I can't stomach it.

Your Majesty, are you squeamish?

Continuing to endure unspeakable hardship is ridiculous.

That means you're lying in kindling, having your courage chewed up.

I don't want the Hwarang to get hurt any more.

I will protect the Hwarang, I will.

How will you do it? Because it offends you, you are not taking the hand of the enemy

while you are unable to protect even the friend who is pretending to be king in your place.

How would you protect the Seonmoon?

Wonhwa Princess Nam Mo

Because the fact of going to the shrine of Won Hwa Nam Mo is known, they will surely make a move.

Don't make any mistake.

Princess Nam Mo and Joon Jeong were like us.

She was the half-blood daughter of a princess and nobleman.

Are you consumed with fear?

I am curious. Is the reason that I have become a Wonhwa

is because I saw His Majesty's esteemed face? Or is it

because I am the sister of Seon Woo who pretended to be king in Baekje?

You seem to be overestimating yourself.

It's neither what you did nor what you might do.

It's because you are being used.

No. It's because you are clutching your orabeoni's ankle.

Because of you, when he is next to you. Seon Woo is in danger.

Even if he wants to go a much bigger world outside.

♫ Never once did I dream ♫

♫ You would be the person on front of me ♫

♫ Don't get hurt ♫

♫ Don't come any closer ♫

If you disturb even one strand of her hair, you are dead.

No, right now!

If she will die, you die now. If she is hurt before then, I will kill you.

♫ A slight sprinkle is falling ♫

♫ Black tears cover me. ♫

♫ In my two red eyes ♫

♫ I boxed you up ♫

♫ I want to go back again ♫

to turn the clock back ♫

♫ to when it was beautiful ♫

I am... Silla's king!

If you die... I die too.

If you aren't all right, I am not either.

So really for my benefit,

think of yourself more than me.

♫ Like a sad dream ♫

♫ After falling into a deep slumber ♫

♫ Once I erase you ♫

♫ Many cold tears will be left in my heart ♫

♫ Frozen in my heart ♫

♫ There is still only one person. ♫

♫ Once I erase you ♫

♫ My heart will weep ♫

♫ so many sad tears ♫

Here

is it a dream?

How did you know to come here?

Did you think I wouldn't be able to find you wherever you are?

I am not letting ypu go anywhere now.

You're only going to be with me.

Open your eyes.

Ah Ro, open your eyes.

Please open them!

That child is Joon Jeong's son.

The son of Hwi Gyeong Gong, Silla's sacred bone.

It's a time now when the subjects all know who is the king

so why are you postponing abdication?

You are too greedy.

Until when should the Regent Queen Dowager control the country?

The crown is the royal family's concern.

It's not an issue for you to be debating over.

How much do you know about the present situation in Silla?

We need the real king to come out in our war.

Hwarang preview

The king among them, the king is Seon Woo.

You were thee reason given to them. Because of you. It's all because of you.

I really love you.

That child also is Sacred Bone blood. He is your rival.

Why am I being told to come here?

It's ready. The preparation to make you king.

You will regret it. You shall.
