Mother! Mother!

The Crown Prince is currently heading to Gyeonghee-gung holding a sword, Mother.

The King could be in danger.

If not prevented now,

Seja and Seson could die, Mother. [Seson - The King's Grandson]

Mother!

-=Sado=-

-=The First Day=- -=4th of July, 1762=-

What happened yesterday,

As Seja's Mother, I'm here to report about it.

To protect His Majesty.

Yeong Bin, you're really loyal.

A loyal person.

Only you are worrying me.

But the Crown Prince was acting like that because of his mental problem.

If you have to punish him, please do so with the lightest punishment possible.

Please take care of Seson.

Your Majesty.

Please nullify it.

This punishment...

was requested by Seja's Mother herself.

How could a concubine's orders be listened to?

This will only shake the country's root.

Stop the carriage!

Where are you heading to?

To Gyeonghwa.

Get moving!

Please enter the palace.

Your Highness was heading to where?

To Gyeonghwa.

Seson was brought there too?

A son is more important than a husband?

You...

are really scary and heartless.

Take off your Ikseo and your gongryongpo! [Gonryongpo - a blue robe donned by the crown prince]

[Ikseongwan - a black crown donned by the crown prince]

Seson!

Seson!

You... to kill your Father has already donned a sangbok? [Sangbok - a mourning outfit]

Since the death of Daebi Mama and Jungjeon Mama,

this sangbok has always been worn by me.

Three years of mourning time have passed, you still dare to deny it?

Bring them here!

What are they?

You dug the cemetery behind the palace, ordering a coffin and wearing sanbok...

isn't that damning me to be beheaded?

Since Your Majesty has acted as if I'm already dead,

I took it upon myself to dig my own grave.

Last night...

you've explained it simple and precise enough.

End your own life!

If I die, this country will perish.

But if you die, this country will be prosperous for 300 years.

In Joseon Dynasty, is there such punishment as killing oneself?

If I'm guilty, just send me to the Uigeumbu. [Uigeumbu - the judiciary organ during Joseon dynasty]

[Uigeumbu - the judiciary organ during Joseon dynasty]

This is not a country's affair, it's a family matter.

My position right now is as an old man.

Who's punishing a son who's planning to kill his own father.

If you kill yourself right now,

you won't lose your Crown Prince title.

Me as a Crown Prince..

But have you ever thought of me as a son?

If the Crown Prince die, what will happent to us?

We, as those who serve the Crown Prince would face death too.

Not only us,

but our descendant too will end here.

Is this time for you to worry about your family?

This country will perish right away.

Please stop!

Mother, Father.. how?

Let me go!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, it's better if I die with you too.

Let me die with you too.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, even though you're a king,

you still shouldn't defy the Daemyeong's Law [Daemyeong System - punishment system from Ming Dynasty]

this isn't written in the national law. [Daemyeong System - punishment system from Ming Dynasty]

Your Majesty!

Drag all of them out!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

The rice crate! Bring here the rice crate!

Throw him in!

Let me go!

Still refuse to let me go?

Spike the nails!

Seson!

Abamama, please get out of there! [Abamama - used by Prince and Princess when calling their father (King)]

Quick, take Seson away from here!

Halbamama, please forgive Father. [Halbamama - used by the prince/princess to their grandfather]

Your Grandson is begging you. [Sonja - cucu]

Haven't I restricted everyone from entering this place?

Does everyone want my Grandson to be thrown in there too?

The things he couldn't do, let me do them.

If you want my Father to read the books, let me read the books on his behalf.

Whatever it is, I'll follow all your orders.

Please save my Father.

Take him out right away!

Father, please get out of there quickly!

Halbamama! [Halbamama - used by the prince/princess to address their grandfather]

Father, please get out of there quickly!

Halbamama! [Halbamama - used by the prince/princess to address their grandfather]

Luxury?

What do you mean by luxury and what are meant by not a luxury?

Silk, is a luxury.

Cotton, is not a luxury.

Who is Your Majesty giving this to?

This serf will remember this forever.

This serf will remember this deed till the end of my descendants.

Your Majesty...

The rest of my life will be dedicated to Your Majesty.

Long live, Your Majesty.

Yes.

Oh my, even when eating the Crown Prince looks so adorable.

Yes, lately the Crown Prince has been engrossed in which book?

Jungjeonmama, I'm currently studying the Hyogyeong. [Jungjeonmama– Her Majesty, used by the people when they call the queen; Hyogyeong- a book by Confucius and Zengzi on filial piety]

What is filial piety?

filial piety is a son who helps carry the burden of his parents who are already old and weak,

Mother.

Your Highness is planning to carry whose burdens?

Oh my baby.

Your Majesty, it's time to head to Sigang-won to study.

Oh my...

Please stand up, Your Highness.

Confucius said, he who loves his parents won't dare to do wrong on others. [A content from the Hyogyeong, a chapter of The Prince of the Sky]

Confucius said, he who loves his parents won't dare to do wrong on others. [A content from the Hyogyeong, a chapter of The Prince of the Sky]

[A content from the Hyogyeong, a chapter of The Prince of the Sky]

He who respect his parents won't dare to be arrogant with others. [A content from the Hyogyeong, a chapter of The Prince of the Sky]

Your Majesty.

Are you feeling sleepy?

If you truly understand the meaning of the book, you won't feel sleepy.

The day after tomorrow you'd have to take a test in front of the King.

What do you plan?

For Your Majesty, learning is a filial piety.

Can't I sleep with Mother?

Your Majesty have to sleep on your own.

Choi Sanggong... [Sanggong - an official title of the highest attainable for a lady-in-waiting]

[Sanggong - an official title of the highest attainable for a lady-in-waiting]

Only for tonight.

Can I as his Mother sleep with him?

This is something that's not allowed in the royal family.

The Crown Prince has became a Prince, Jungjeonmama. [Jungjeonmama - the Queen]

He's no longer your prince, Your Royal Highness.

Your Majesty, it's past your sleeping time.

As a father, writing a book for his son.

If that is you, can you sleep?

-=The Second Day=-

It was done following Your Majesty's order.

Everyone that's related to the Crown Prince has been removed from the palace.

Tell Seungji Chae Je Gong. [Seungji - the palace's secretary]

to write a doctrine of the Crown Prince who has been thrown out of the palace to be a commoner.

I'm just a servant hired by the palace.

Please allow me to be the servant who caters to all of His Highness needs.

Okay.

If so, then you should be the one writing the doctrine, Do Seungji.

This serf is unable to do so too.

His Majesty is making everything more complicated.

Paper, brush and ink!

Why not give some poison instead?

If given some poison,

the Crown Prince status would be as a traitor.

If the Prince is a traitor, then his father is also a traitor.

Based on the civil law that happened in Joseon, that was set by the Myeong Dynasty, [Myeong Dynasty / Ming Dynasty - One of the biggest dynasties in Tiongkok]

The Crown Prince was born extremely intelligent.

Gwa In really adored and loved the Crown Prince. [Gwa In - a King's title when referring to himself]

But since His Highness was ten, he started to abandon his study.

Acting after listening, suffering from a never ending suffering.

Everyday being naughty and disturbing others.

Until his original character totally disappeared.

Plus killing the Naegwan. [Naegwan - palace officials]

Mingling with the musicians, the nuns and the gisaengs.

Never once respecting the Daejeon. [Daejeon - the Joseon dynasty]

He even dug a grave behind the palace.

His actions really couldn't be described with words.

The Crown Prince's biological Mother, Yeong Bin reporting that...

... if Gwa In's security is so dangerous, [Gwa In - a King's title when referring to himself]

[Gwa In - a King's title when referring to himself]

then she's requesting a punishment of the worst.

With this,

I'm taking away his 'Crown Prince' title

and throwing him away as a commoner.

I have really gotten myself a really pretty daughter in law.

Today I'm receiving such a huge gift from you.

I'll give you an advice.

You must be really thorough when serving the Crown Prince.

Happy or sad cannot be shown through words nor act.

Don't take heed of what you see,

life in the palace is not much different than the normal life everyday.

Never let others find out.

When meeting your husband, you cannot be wearing only your inner wear

In front of the Crown Prince you cannot be carelessly undressing.

No matter how pretty the color of the lipstick,

if it ended up messing your husband's outfit, it wouldn't look pretty anymore.

Cannot be used.

Why are you laughing?

This kid...

A princess,

dares to be sitting next to someone who will become a queen one day.

Quick, perform the palace etiquette!

When serving His Majesty, you have to be careful.

Me in the behalf of Jungjeon will

let Yeong Bin who has been serving his Majesty all this time to be doing the explaining.

The Majesty's diction was really strict.

The word 'die' or others with the same meaning with the word 'reborn', shall never be used.

The clothes that has been used when performing matters pertaining to the state outside,

before entering the room, shall be changed first.

If you happen to hear unpleasant words, you will head to the room quickly.

After washing your face,

you will wave and ask

Nothing happened, right?

No, Your Majesty.

Take your leave.

Only after lighting the taisman are you ready to enter.

When you do something good or bad,

the door to enter and leave the room are different.

When you do something good, you will enter through the Man-an.

When you do something bad, you will enter through the gyeonghwa.

One more thing. Never let someone you love and someone you don't, be in the same place.

That's His Majesty.

He differentiates clearly between love and hatred.

So clear that people find it hard to differentiate.

Bin-gung, you have to be careful. Don't ever anger His Majesty. [Bin Gung - The Crown Prince's wife]

Too choosy.

Bingungmama.

Don't ever defy the orders of the elders in the palace.

You have to be careful and more careful.

Father...

Mother...

Bin-gungmama, on a happy day like this please don't cry.

Let her cry.

People think that being a part of the royal family is a luck and feel envious.

But for us it'd be a disaster for our family.

We are warning you.

Your Majesty!

A puppy, a gift from Hwangja the Qing Dynasty.

What's your name?

Do you know how great is Abamama?

During the lessons, not even one of the palace scholars could beat him.

Don't be too afraid of Abamama.

You have me, right? Me.

In Abamama's eyes, the Bin-gung has passed, pass.

Yea.

Wang, stop moving!

Bin-gung, hold him right.

I have married a beautiful woman.

When serving the Crown Prince, you have to smile.

Your Majesty.

It's time to head to Sigang-won.

A content from the Chungyung. [The Chungyung - The Doctrine of the Mean]

A path can't be left for a moment.

If it could be left for a moment, then it means it's not the right path.

Because of that, hidden, not seen or heard, a real man shall still be alert.

There's nothing that's more distinct than the one's that's hidden.

There's nothing more distinct than the minute.

Because of that, a real man would be alert even when he's alone.

Pass.

Pass? Pass?

The truths is, 'a real man is alert without needing to see something and on standy without needing to hear something'.

Not just a word, but a phrase, all was dropped behind.

What pass?

Isn't one day the Crown Prince will be the fundemental for a country?

If you don't want to see this country perish,

why be like that?

This is a book

that your Aebi wrote for you, neglecting sleep? [Aebi - Ayah]

If even this you couldn't remember,

later on which book would you be able to study for real?

You...

... in this year alone how many times do you get the desire to read a book?

Only once or twice.

What?

Your Majesty, how could you say only once or twice?

Too humble.

Seseunim, I understand clearly what's in my own heart.

Aigoo, really?

Honest, very good. Very honest.

When I was your age,

I was always worried I wouldn't be able to read a book.

You're in such a nice place,

but so lazy and refuse to study.

His Highness isn't very interested in the boring classics.

When it comes to the Seoyugi and the Suhojeon--

What? [Seoyugi - Journey to the West; Suheojeon - Water Margin -- 2 of the 4 famous novels in China]

[Seoyugi - Journey to the West; Suheojeon - Water Margin -- 2 of the 4 famous novels in China]

You're allowing the Crown Prince to read books like that?

Your Majesty, please control your anger.

This kid has a potential, please be patient--

Look at this kid with his dark skin,

and you still think so?

All day long all he did is play outside that's why he has became like this.

How many times have I told you?

Playing will give pleasure for a while, but studying would give you a pleasure for life.

You're still just blinking your eyes?

-=The Third Day=-

Open the door! Open the door!

Open!

Open!

Open the door! Open the door!

Open the door! Open the door!

Your Majesty!

Please don't do this, Your Majesty.

There are centipedes biting me.

Your Majesty!

If you behave like this, Seson will die too, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Tell him to kill his son, kill his grandson, just kill everyone!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Once everyone's executed let him live alone till hundreds and thousands of years.

Take him back to his prison!

Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!

Why are all this my fault?

Reflect on all that you've done all this time.

You don't have the right to utter those words.

If you're that honorable, just kill me already.

Take him!

Is this a befitting action for a King?

Your Majesty, please think about the future.

Tie it up!

Cover it with some grass!

In the lives of the commoners the elders would raise the children with love.

But in the royal family,

the children would be considered the enemies.

Do you know why is that?

What's the diffrences with those parents who care about their children?

It's different.

Everytime Gwa In visits the Jongmyo, [Gwa In - how the King refers to himself]

[Gwa In - how the King refers to himself]

will be heard the sound of tears and blood that have been dripped by our ancestors.

Here...

...dedicated to my Father who have been ruling for 40 years.

The Sukjong Daewang.

This old man

was the King who fed his Bu-in poison. [Bu in - Wife]

This one...

is my Hyeongnim (brother), Gyeongjong Daewang.

People say that I killed my own hyeongnim so that I could become the King.

What do you think?

If for the benefit of your own party,

what would be the limit of what to be spread?

I hope you don't take it to heart.

This place...

There are Kings that had to kill their brothers and nephews to protect the country.

This is what meant by raising the children as if they are the enemies.

Do you understand now?

Once you've became King, you'd understand.

Absolutely no!

Don't produce a decree that's impossible to be accepted.

Gwa In have been waiting for this moment for 25 years [Gwa In - the King when referring to himself]

The Crown Prince is all grown up now.

It's time for him to take over the throne as a King.

Hyeongnim, quickly prevent this. He's started making statement that's against what's in his conscience.

The Crown Prince's education is still not enough.

How could you disturb his studies by burdening him with the country matters?

Imgeum has never been interested with the position as a King like this. [Imgeum - another way the King refer to himself]

Ye know that Gwa-in only became the King because Hyeongnim Gyeongjong Daewang didn't have any heir

and taking over temporarily only.

How could I not understand your intention, Your Majesty.

I will try harder to be better at serving you.

Your Majesty!

Please invalidate the decree.

Please invalidate the decree.

If that so, how about daelicheongjeong? [daelicheongjeong - trustee hearing]

Is that not possible too?

"Hun-min-jeon-geum", "Sagunyukjin", "Cheukwoogi" [Hunminjeongum - Hangul alphabet system; Sagunyukjin - military campaign; Cheukwoogi - Rain Gauge]

Although known widely as a contribution of Sejang Daewang, [Hunminjeongum - Hangul alphabet system; Sagunyukjin - military campaign; Cheukwoogi - Rain Gauge]

[Hunminjeongum - Hangul alphabet system; Sagunyukjin - military campaign; Cheukwoogi - Rain Gauge]

It's actually during the period of his prince, when the Crown Prince Munjong was stil alive [Hunminjeongum - Hangul alphabet system; Sagunyukjin - military campaign; Cheukwoogi - Rain Gauge]

it was already discussed in the daelicheongjeong. [daelicheongjeong - trustee hearing]

Becaus of that it is said if the daelicheongjeon is done right, it will be beneficial.

Teacher...

Daelicheongjon is for Abamama, not for me.

Don't worry.

Do it well.

If the prince does well than the Father would be able to live well.

Per His Majesty's order,

Which at first was a soldier with two horses, became a soldier with a horse..

The national defense is to be estimated as still needing 800 thousands Nyang. [Nyang - Joseon's currency]

Explain the countermeasures that have been prepared by the Minister of Finance.

Allocating the expense of the local administration offices and the reserved fund.

120 thousands Nyang. [Nyang - Joseon's currency]

Capturing those who have ran away from the military,

plus the military garments,

50 thousands Nyang.

We are able to get the total of 172 thousands Nyang..

What about the rest of the 632 thousands Nyang?

From all the land owned by all Yangban in the entire country there would be 800 thousands Gyeong. [Yangban - the noblemen; 1 Gyeong = 6.6667 hectare]

If every 1 gyeong is priced half a Nyang,

- The growth in tax would be up to 400 thousands Nyang. - Your Majesty!

The law set that the Yangban are excused from joining military.

But that way opening their mouth, they would say that Joseon is a bureaucrats scholar state.

But why are the starving commoners who have to defend the country?

the wangsil and the jongchin have to set a good example. [Wangsil - the royal family; Jongchin - the women of the royal family]

[Wangsil - the royal family; Jongchin - the women of the royal family]

Submit the fisheries taxes, the salt field taxes, the ship taxes 100 thousands Nyang.

Despite that, we are still 130 thousands Nyang short.

The Ogunyeong's scattered military organisation have to be merged into one.

Let them handle it themselves.

What do ye think?

Your Majesty, problems regarding the military force,

can't be handled recklessly.

Why is that?

The agreement between the King and his ministers.

By using this excuse,

all this 25 years they have been monopolizing the military and the revenues...

... the anathema isn't just one or two.

What?

Let's not discuss the problem for now.

Your Majesty...

... have to destroy a part of the faction.

A curse from the monopoly of the military force.

How is it possible that in the military there's also a feud between fellow faction?

Your Majesty, that is not just a faction.

It's a faction that was formed by the courageous Ogunyeong to protect the peace. [Ogunyeong - Five Barracks]

The country's military force is a place for you to create peace?

How could factions exist in a the King's military force?

Starting from today,

divide the Sueocheong (southern garrison), the Eoyeongcheong (artillery) the Chongyungcheong (northern garrison), and the Geumwiyeong (capital garrison).

Train and be aware of all factions!

Based on the decree of the King, Byeongjopanseo (Ministry of Defence),

and Ogunyeong is merged into a system.

Your Majesty is brilliant.

Your Majesty is brilliant.

They're relying on the King too soon to take over the military force.

But in the end facing a strong opponent.

You must be really pleased.

Appearance or character wise,

compared to the King, the Crown Prince is way more prestigious.

Regarding the military law,

it has been implemented since the Sukjong Daewang's era.

Yes.

But...

I know.

The military force is keeping watch of the relationship between His Highness and the palace advisors.

Enough!

Look at how you're dressed.

While working it could be considered pretty thorough.

Tighten the pants leg!

Does it feel nice to be able to finish it smoothly?

That's your sickness.

Why does the country has to be divided into our side and the enemy side?

I'll carry all my obligations as a son.

For the military force and the authority administrative staff Abamama.

You think I've never handled it because I didn't know?

In a day you have destroyed the political peace

that I have worked on for all my life.

King, is not a position that's set.

But it's a position where you listen to the advises of the palace advisors and be held accountable for them.

This is a written memorandom with the Hamgyeong-do's observation.

Proposing that the defense battalion in Seongjin to be moved to Gilju.

This is because Gilju can block nine routes heading to Yukjin.

Seongjin can only block three of them..

If the defense battalion is moved to Gilju,

how do we protect Seongjin?

By leaving some soldiers behind.

If that so,

it's best that the defense battalion is moved to Gilju.

Carry all the plans discussed here with Byeongjo.

I'll follow the decree.

Wait! Wait!

Moving the defense battalion to Cheongjin

there must be reasons behind it. Aren't there?

You all easily move it all you want, then what do you think I am?

You are manipulating the Crown Prince and disregarding me?

How much do you understand the state's defense matter?

Have you ever been to Hamgyeong-do?

The defense battalion is best left at where it is.

Later on, for other important matters you better report to me first before making a decision!

Next!

Your Majesty...

Before this Hojo had borrowed some silver from the Suecheong. [Hojo - the tax department; Sueocheong - sothern garrison]

As a levy, the Sueocheong is asking us to pay 300 Seok of rice. [1 Seok = 150 kg]

And then they demand us to pay the exact amount of silver that we borrowed.

Deny the request to pay via food stock.

Your Majesty...

The contract written by the Hojo was unilateral.

Not only Sueocheong isn't gonna return to us the silver that was prepared to prevent rebellion,

but they are also demanding us to send the food stock.

Too unreasonable.

I used the fund that was meant for the state tax

and countervailed it with the fund meant for the preparation of the Qing Dynasty's impromptu visit.

Your Majesty...

Please make a decision.

What's best?

Even for a trivial matter like that you can't make up your mind,

and have to trouble me.

What's the use of me appointing you as my representatative?

Tell the Sueocheong to send the food stock to Hojo.

And tell Hojo to return Sueocheong's silver, just like that.

Just do as so.

Next!

A writtten report on Jeolla.

Till this moment not even a drop of raindrop has graced Honam.

All the crops faced failure.

Your Majesty...

What do we do?

This is because I, as a King, do not have a virtue hence no rain there.

Why, do you have to ask the Crown Prince?

No.

Since I took the position as daelicheongjeong it never rains.

This is all because I, as a Crown Prince, do not have a virtue hence no rain there.

Your Majesty.

Now, Your Majesty, please follow me to Chingukjang.

Have to participate.

Jangin... [Jangin - Father in law]

Is this how the daelicheongjeong is?

You have to be patient.

I couldn't.

Your Majesty!

In front of me they're discussing politic and peace.

But behind my back they're

so vile?

You who poisoned Gyeongjong Daewang does not deserve to be called a King.

Still dare to talk about the poisoning.

The moment I sat at the throne as a King,

it was already identified as a rumour that has no basis.

Then why did Lee Lin Zuo rebel?

Beccause he didn't acknowledge you as a king

Tear out the brock's mouth!

You think by killing me

this world won't change?

Someone like you who was born as a stigma,

will never be able to become Prince Sukjong Daewang

You think of all those from the South, there's only us who think so?

Every southerners thinks so.

Tear out that other brock's mouth too!

Not sure if you're a king (of dogs) in the Qing Dynasty or not..

But here is the Joseon.

If you keep barking, I'll marry you with a mongrel.

Your Majesty...

His Majesty is looking for you.

What a despicable person.

Today I've listened to so many things I shouldn't be listening to.

Is everything okay?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You didn't go to Chingukjang, what did you do?

Study?

Your Aebi is still working hard this late,

as a son instead of helping, you're...

Get out!

Yes, Your Majesty?

You...

Lee Wi Gyeong who have been decentralized to Jeolla

once written the happiest poem in history.

Yea.

Reading a poetry, how could that be a blissfullness for you?

You didn't only lie to Lee Wi Gyeong,

but you are also lying to all the people of Honam that have read poems praising you.

Because of a lie like that,

the rain that should have been gracing the Honam land which has been hit by drought,

is now wetting this lush soil instead. Isn't it so?

You...don't have to pretend like you're honest in front of me.

You arent't qualified for visiting the Sukjong Daewang's tomb. [Sukjong - Joseon's 19th King]

Go home!

If I had another Prince.

Get moving!

-=The Fourth Day=-

Give me some water!

Give me some water!

Give! Give me some water!

Wait only till it's dried before you pour more water!

Mama, take a deep breath.

A prince! A prince!

Last night, in a dream' I met Chong Yong! Chong Yong!

A Seson!

Thank you, Crown Prince.

Now Halmeoni can face our ancestors easily.

Your Majesty...

I plan on turning this painting into a fan.

Soon once Seson get to sit at the throne,

you can give it to him.

Congratulations, Mama.

Now you will be meeting Haraboeji.

No crying okay.

Seson is now pass his 100th day and now attending to you.

Done.

Take him away!

The day after tomorrow is Jungjeon's hwagab. [Hwagab - the 60th anniversary usually celebrated with a huge feast]

[Hwagab - the 60th anniversary usually celebrated with a huge feast]

Since His Majesty hasn't decided on anything, no preparation has been done. [Hwagab - the 60th anniversary usually celebrated with a huge feast]

Yeongbin Mama...

His Majesty hasn't decreed anything, there must be a reason behind it, isn't it?

What do we do then?

Since he's busy with matters related to the ruling of the country,

how could we as the hugung be troubling His Majesty with such matter? [Hugung - concubine / mistress]

Moon So Won, you... [Hugung - concubine / mistress]

Noisy!

Everyone retreat!

Retreat!

You're monopolizing the King's afffections,

how dare you to go against the Crown Prince's biological mother?

More!

Step aside!

Cruel woman.

Today I'll break the root of your arrogance.

What's happening now?

Everyone, get out!

Even though the King doesn't love the Jungjeon, [Jungjeon - the queen]

the day after tomorrow is still Jungjeon's hwagab [Hwagab - the 60th anniversary usually celebrated with a huge feast]

and yet there's no decree on it at all. [Hwagab - the 60th anniversary usually celebrated with a huge feast]

Is that what the King wants or what Moon So Won wants?

How nice of Yeongbin wanting Jungjeon's hwagab to be celebrated.

Since we are both a Hugung [Hugung - concubine / mistress],

instead of learning from her sincerity,

you dare to go against Yeongbin?

And because of that, Aega is punishing her according to Naemyongbu law. [Aega - widow queen]

If Daebi is acting like that, how am I supposed to act as a King?

What did you say?

Because in the lowly woman's stomach there's the King's seed,

is that why you're protecting her?

Lowly? Lowly?

If that so since Daebi made someone lowly like me a King,

might as well use this opportunity to take away the throne!

I am more than delighted to give my position to the Crown Prince, please give me your blessing.

Okay.

Just do as so.

I'm giving you my permission.

No, you cannot do it!

Please nullify your resolve.

Your Majesty.

I cannot bear...

Please nullify the resolve.

Your Majesty!

Please nullify your decision to give the throne to the Crown Prince.

How many times do I have to repeat that I absolutely not interested at all with the position as a King.

I have already been granted the permission from the oldest member of the royalty, Daebi.

Get moving!

Crown Prince!

The King just went to Byeolgung.

Wake up.

Go home,

Mother.

Daebi Mama...

If you keep acting like this, if something were to happen to Seja, then how?

Please nullify your permission.

Just because of a small matter, right away deciding to be not fit to be a King.

The King only knows how to torment Seja,

I will finish him till the roots.

However, the one who's protecting Seja right now,

is non other than Daebi Mama isn't it?

The only person who could help Seja right now

is Daebi Mama alone.

Although Aega is already very old,

but Aega is still the Daewang Daebi of this country.

How could you ask Aega tu nullify what have been said?

But...

if it's postponed any longer, Seja could die.

Please save him, Daebi Mama.

If that so,

why don't Aegi just go die?

Starting from today,

don't come attending to me anymore.

Daebi Mama.

Aega has a hearing problem

which makes it hard to listen clearly to the King's words.

Because of that I was hasty in giving my permission.

Your Majesty!

Daebi has nullified her permission.

Quick, wake up.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

If you haven't been acting up, you would have became King a long time ago.

Why did you have to nullify it?

Till Daebi Mama no longer have other choice but to take her last breath.

I was wrong.

A hypocrite.

You think I don't know about your arrogance?

Yea, everything is my fault.

~ May the wealth and fortune come. ~

~ Hopefully happy in the past life and then be reborned as a human. ~

~ Namo Amituofo ~

Stop pouring it.

Aren't you a light drinker?

Pour it!

If you keep going this could harm your health.

In your eyes this is alcohol?

This is the blood and tear of Halmeoni who died because of me.

Your Majesty!

His Majesty is waiting in Sigang-won.

With the excuse of the deaths of Daebi Mama and Jungjeon,

you haven't been joining the daelicheongjeong for a few days.

I am here to ask how are you doing.

You give up just like that on your studies.

What kind of adornment is this?

Where is your tanggeon? [Tanggeon - Korean traditional headgear worn by men, which is put under a gat (formal hat)]

Your outfit is for dancing? [Tanggeon - Korean traditional headgear worn by men, which is put under a gat (formal hat)]

You...

... just had a drink?

Yea.

A Seja drinking during the mourning.

You didn't notice that last month the military force of Hamgyeong-do, Byeongma Jeoldosa, [Byeongma Jeoldosa - tentara komandan junior]

have been beheaded because they break the no alcohol rule.

Your Highness can't stand the liquor.

Your Majesty, please let me sniff it first to define if there's truly the smell of alcohol.

I have already admitted that I did just had a drink.

How dare you open your mouth saying so!

Step back!

In front of your parents, only animals are excused from your rage

how dare you snap at a sanggong in front of me?

Because she dared to interrupt,, that's why I did it.

I wanna wash my ears Bring some water to me!

My fault.

For considering a brock like you a son.

And appointing you as the Crown Prince.

A woman risked her life trying to speak in my defence,

but here not even one person dares to open their mouth?

-=The Fifth Day=-

Is that Wang?

Did they feed you well??

Did Bin-Gung comb your hair?

Why last night you weren't barking?

Are you afraid of the King too?

Now, do we have to find whatever ways to protect Seson?

I am not aiming on saving Imgeum alone, but Seja too.

Sister in law!

Just give Seson to me.

What?

Here, other than me, is there anyone else that could make Seson a King?

Just leave Seson's matters with me.

Aboeji at least is still listening to my words.

Ugh!

Hyeongnim, are you tusting Igae Ongju's words? [Ongju - a daughter of the king with his concubines]

and risking your family's lives?

Since the arrivsl of Sae-Jungjeon...

If the King's health is improving,

this means...

What are you doing?

I have to live too. I have to protect this family too, aren't I?

If Seson becomes King,

we all who witnesses the death of his Aebi will die too.

So?

However way, we have to stop Seson from getting the Throne.

And what about after that?

If Sae-Jungjeon could overthrow the Wangja, [Sae - new]

the situation would end like this. [Sae - new]

Although not possible,

as long as we could make a Jongchin who knows nothing to accede to the throne,

there would be Sae-Jungjeon who could rule behind the scene.

You're right.

When the King was still a Wangja he almost died because of betrayals.

He could become King because our Aboeji in his place drank the poison.

Father.

Brother.

I'm afraid of the King.

What's higher than Mount Taesan and deeper than the sea?

Your parents' kindness.

You?

The kindness from Imgeum. [Imgeum - the king]

A human heart.

Heart?

Why is that?

The bravery of a husband is far higher than Mount Taesan.

A woman's integrity is deeper than the sea.

I really feel guilty towards you.

If you have a wish, just let me know.

Please do not promotote our family's rank.

I really have married a very intelligent Jungjeon. [Jungjeon - queen]

I'm not trying to reprimand you.

It has been a month since Sae-Eomoni last visited our family.

But the eldest prince in this family still hasn't shown up at all.

To cure his illness, Seja hasn't been out of the house for a while.

Wait till his illness heal, slowly, okay.

Yes, Jungjeonmama.

What does that mean?

Is he suffering from an illness that couldn't be cured?

Mama!

Open it!

Where is Seja?

Aigoo, Eomoni.

Tending to Jungjeon who's still very young,

of course he's suffering so bad that you have to come here.

Your Majesty, this is not the time to be acting like this.

I have to visit the new Jungjeon..

I am an insubordinate son who doesn't even visit his own Mother.

Why do you have to visit that woman?

You acting like this, what will Seson learn from it?

You only care about Seson, and Seson.

Everytime you open your mouth it's all Seson.

Do I still exist in your eyes?

Seja...

Just consider it as doing something for a Mother.

My poor mother.

After the old man got a new wife,

his old wife is now abandoned?

I beg you.

I know, I know.

Tomorrow I'll go there to visit her.

Don't worry.

Your Majesty...

Bring me another clothe!

Okay.

Your Majesty, another clothe has been prepared.

This is a new gonryongpo, finished just this morning. [Gonryongpo - the king's robe (robe) and the crown prince's robe (blue)]

[Gonryongpo - the king's robe (robe) and the crown prince's robe (blue)]

Your Majesty, you have to be quick.

Jungjeon Mama didn't even have her breakfast anticipating your visit.

Not this one! Not this one!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Bring me another clothe!

Bring me another clothe!

Bring me the clothe!

Please calm yourself.

Bring me another clothe!

Another Gonryongpo, Your Majesty?

Bring me another clothe!

Your Majesty!

No!

Your Majesty, there's no other gonryongpo.

Your Majesty!

Orabeoni what took you so long?

Whether that woman is perplexed or intelligent,

I really don't know.

Why are saying the Jungjeon so?

How did she do it

making Abeoji so drunk on her.

She even said that they even hold hands while sleeping.

Everyone who is loved by that old man is gathered here.

I can no longer bear living in the same circle as that man.

Quick summon that old man from Gyeonghee-gung!

If not, everyone will die!

Okay, okay.

No matter what I'll ask him to come here.

I...I'll ask him to come, Orabeoni.

-=The Sixth Day=-

Take it slow.

So dizzy.

Still alive.

No entry.

Step aside!

No!

This is a decree from the King.

You...what's your name? What's your rank?

Naegeum-wijang, Kim Do Soo. [Naegeum-wijang - the Chief of Royal Guard]

I'll remember your name.

Move!

Abamama, your daughter in law is here with your water.

Abamama, your daughter in law is here with your water.

Abamama, your daughter in law is here with your water..

Abamama, please come out! Abamama I beg you, please come out!

Abamama, your daughter in law is here with your water.

Abamama, please come out!

Abamama, please come out.

Your daughter in law is here with your water.

Your daughter in law is here with your water.

Abamama!

Haven't I forbade anyone from entering here?

As a son can't I bring a bowl of water for Aboenim?

Seson...

Before I start making a decree,

quickly go home and wait for your punishment.

To set a good reign, do we have to have a lot of followers in the palace?

Although the followers in the palace is very little as long as the King is capable, then it would be no problem.

Is it easy to get a virtue?

As long as a King has a noble virtue it won't be hard.

A son who is not yet 10 years old but already has such insight,

is not an easy feat.

If that so, the virtue of Emperor Yao and Shun is sky high.

Can you make it happen?

Even though it's high, as long as we are keen and work hard for it, it can happen.

Pass!

Pass!

Pass!

Jongsa (Jongmyeo and Sajik) which is 300 years old have all Seson mastered.

How is it possible such an Aebi could raise a kid like that?

For our third generation, an idiom that says the apple doesn't fall far from the tree is just a lie.

What kind of person is the Sukjeong Daewang that resides here?

An old man who is my Jeungjobu, [Jeungjobu - great-grandfather]

was the Joseon's longest reigning king, for 46 years long.

Halbamama has to reign far longer than that.

Why?

This is a service of the King's royal family.

What is a King?

What is a palace cohort?

Although Haraboeji has reigned for 37 years,

Haraboeji is still unclear of what the meaning of the King and the palace cohort.

Just because he's a king, doesn't mean his hand can always be on a knife.

And also, just because he's a palace cohort, doesn't mean his hand is always on a knife.

Study hard.

Even if you don't have the ability, you as a King still have to hold a knife in your hand.

I'll keep it in mind.

Did you and your Harabeoji go to visit Sukjeong Daewang's tomb?

Yea.

You love reading that much?

Yea.

How?

Because it would make Halbamama feel happy.

Oh really?

I hate myself for acting like this too.

Being so confident of myself and of how strong the arrow that flies across the sky.

Since the King wouldn't allow it,

I didn't even attend your wedding,

as an Aebi, I apologize.

Son. [Aga - Son]

What it means by being husband and wife,

is by completing each other.

Without being bound in any way or by other trivial matters.

You have to love each other.

Always.

All your life loving each other.

I'll keep that in mind.

Gwa-in wants to give the throne to Seson.

Of all of you,

who's willing to submit Seja's abdication letter?

This serf is unable to follow this decree.

Seeing how Seja is doing you still dare to say so?

If it wasn't because I had no other choice,

do you think I would've moved to Gyeonghee-gung?

That rascal becoming like that,

the responsibility lies on your shoulders.

Give me Sado's abdication letter.

This is the King's decree.

The time has come.

Turns out the King is gathering us because...

... of this.

Your Majesty is feeling wistful.

It's hard to differentiate between sincerity and otherwise.

I beg Your Majesty to calm down.

Have mercy on Seja.

Hoping for a harmonious life.

Your Majesty, make sure to head to Gyeonghee-gung and to make peace with the King.

If not, all your followers will die.

Do I still have any follower?

An old saying says, between a father and his son there cannot be any power struggle.

As long as you can hold on for a few years more,

you can sit on the throne.

What's so hard about giving greetings and pretending to study hard?

I don't wanna live like this anymore.

I also cannot bear living like this.

I wanna live the way I wanna live.

Please take a sit, Eomoni.

Don't worry, just take a sit.

Eomamama...

I beg your mercy.

This unfilial son only get to celebrate your hwagab after six years. [Hwagab - the 60th anniversary usually celebrated with a huge feast]

May you live long.

Pay homage.

Rise.

Pay homage.

Rise.

Pay homage.

Rise.

Pay homage.

Rise.

Seson, you have to perform the sabae ritual. [Sabae - formal bow of respect performed by younger members of the family]

[Sabae - formal bow of respect performed by younger members of the family]

You cannot do this, Your Majesty.

Donning a formal Wangbi robe is an insolent act.

If the king found out about this ritual being held...

Who's the gajang of the family? [Gajang - the head of the family]

Only for today.

Eomamama is the Jungjeon. [Jungjeon - the Queen]

What are you waiting for? Pay homage quickly!

Pay homage.

Rise.

Pay homage.

Rise.

Everyone, go perform this ritual!

Pay homage.

Rise.

Pay homage.

Step back!

Jungjeonmama's carriage is passing by!

Step back!

Jungjeonmama's carriage is here!

Step back!

My mother! My mother's carriage, the Jungjeonmama!

My mother's carriage, the Jungjeonmama.

Step back! Step back!

Step back!

After refusing to hand over the written letter to Seja, Lee Cheon Bo,

Min Baek Sang, and Lee Hu Do had committed a suicide.

A group of naive people talking about the reformation supporting the eldest prince's right,

cannot bear it anymore and had ran away.

The King must be really worried.

How could we help him?

On a Seja who never bothered to visit me,

is there any feeling that is still left?

As long as the King insists on it.

There's a possibility of dying.

I have realized it.

Regarding the family, you don't have to worry about it.

Seja have been having affairs with gisaengs all day long.

Plus, he was killing Naegwans. [Naegwan - palace officials]

He had dug a hole behind a Dong-gung's garden,

Possession of weapons,

an attempt on the King's life...

I am sick of this!

Burn it!

Don't.

Burning such an important proof.

Your Majesty...

With such a lowly status he dared to talk about Seja.

In my opinion, indipendence won't solve this probem.

Catch Na Gyeong Eon to identify the brain behind all of this.

Where did you find out about the events that happened in the Gujung-gung to report them to me?

The naegwan that was killed by the Seja was my dongsaeng.

The mastermind behind Na Gyeong Eon has to be investigated.

Has to be investigated.

Your Majesty, you cannot come here.

Your Majesty!

Let me face that man.

I'm not guilty.

You rascal!

Who told you to lie?

Who instructed you to do so, rascal!

My dongsaeng who died in your hand was the one who was backing me.

You're a traitor!

Your Majesty!

My betrayal is only

the lie that I made up so that I could report the death of my dongsaeng to Your Majesty.

But all his violence...

all of them... are a fact.

Your Majesty.

That man is accusing the Seja as a traitor.

You cannot handle this hastily.

What a useless man.

A lowlife like him,

is capable of worrying the country and able to report on the Seja's private movements.

But none of you all, who's responsible for upholding the law, bothered to report it to me.

If this keep going on this country will perish!

Your Majesty.

You have to let him face the Seja.

It has to be investigated carefully as to who is behind all of this.

It has to be investigated carefully.

Your Majesty.

Even after you take into account my disloyalty and the lies of Na Gyeong Eon,

he still dared to hide it from the King.

He deserved to be executed.

Please don't!

Please don't kill him.

Your spirit deserves a praise. Your situation deserves a sympathy.

If you didn't report it, I wouldn't have known that Seja has strayed.

But threatening the King is a crime with a heavy punishment.

Guards!

Behead Na Gyeong Eon!

Your Majesty, before you behead Na Gyeong Eon, please investigate first what's happening behind all of this.

Please investigate first what's happening behind all of this, Your Majesty.

Does it take making your son a traitor for you to feel satisfied?

Your presence is not much different than a condemnation.

You pointed your sword towards Bing-gung and Ongju?

Are you a butcher?

This is because of anxiety.

Anxiety?

Anxiety?

Going crazy and rampaging are better words, you rascal.

I don't wanna see you!

Go to Geumcheon Bridge and lament over your mistakes!

What's the matter?

The Crown Prince is currently heading to Gyeonghee-gung holding a sword.

Your Majesty!

Step aside!

Please stop this, Your Majesty.

Don't do this.

He said my existence is a condemnation.

I wanna show him then.

I told you to step aside!

I beg you.

Step aside!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Eomoni! Eomoni!

The Crown Prince is currently heading to Gyeonghee-gung holding a sword, Mother.

The King could be in danger.

If not prevented now,

Seja and Seson could die, Mother. [Seja - the Crown Prince Seson - The King's Grandson]

Eomoni!

It can no longer be mistaken that you're Gwa-in's Sonja. [Sonja - granchild]

But you said, your Aebi celebrated the hwagab for Yeong Bin.

Yea.

And you performed the Sabae too?

Yea.

Your halmi is only a hugung. [Halmi - grandma; Hugung - concubine]

A ritual meant only for the Wang and the Wangbi, how could you perform it for her? [Wang - the King; Wangbi - the Queen]

Isn't that breaking the ritual law and its discipline?*? [*according to Confucius]

Answer that, Seson.

Even if Halbamama is not a king,

Seson will still pay you baekbae (hundreds of homage), and even cheonbae (thousands of homage).

Why is that?

The existence of human beings lead to the creation of Conficianism.

How there could be a ritual before the existence of human?

Gongja used to say, "We can't only be focused on the result of the ritual," [Gongja - Confucius]

"but instead you gotta focus on the sincerity of the heart too."

On that day, Seson [Soson - cucunda]

saw Aebi's sincerity. [Aebi - father]

Only after the death of your hyeong, Hyojang Seja,

and only after I'm already over 40 years old, were you born.

-=The Seventh Day=- and only after I'm already over 40 years old, did you were born.

-=The Seventh Day=-

How happy I am feeling.

You who were just born is now a Seja, the heir to the throne.

Starting from the age of two I already started giving you lessons on how to become a king.

The talent and the intelligence that you've shown me...

... could never be forgotten.

When you were like that...

Only interested in swords play,

drawing puppies...

lazying around refusing to read your books...

I felt like the world has collapsed.

Because of that I was forced to sit on the throne in front of the scholars like a puppet...

Making me feel useless.

To make you a good ruler,

I had to do those things.

When you made mistakes...

do you know how worried I get?

How is it my fault?

When you became the King,

your weakness is always observed by the palace until you feel worried all the time.

Don't you understand the fate of a wangja who couldn't be the King? [Wangja - a prince]

Despite their help, if I couldn't be a King,

I'd still die right away.

If I die, you wouldn't have been here.

I did try very hard for you.

But your way was choking me and was hard to bear.

Are 'books' really that important?

If it's really that important...

If the knowledge on how to become a good ruler is not enough,

even when only a side of the pants is revealed, it would still be despised.

Even more by the palace officials.

In this country, studying is a national policy.

Confucianism is a national policy.

Did you know why I didn't kill you that night,

but instead I left the site?

Because only because of human did it lead to the creation of Confucianism.

Why did the national policy and the Confucianism become a national policy that oppresses people?

I hate the position as a king, I also hate the power.

All I want is

a warm look from your eyes...

... and words full of love.

Why do we

have come into this world and then have to meet in different roads?

Till we are forced to talk about this problem.

I...

...will be written in history as a father who killed his own son.

And you...

won't be the traitor that tried to take over the country.

But the history will write you as a crazy man who tries to kill his own father.

Only this way will allow your son to live.

If I wasn't a King.

If I wasn't a Prince to a King.

This wouldn't have happened.

This is our fates.

You...

Why did you...

...force your father...

...to do this?

A mother who causes the death of her son...

...is there any reason left to live?

On my grave, even the grass will refuse to grow.

My son...

Eomoni!

Eomoni!

How could this be your fault, Eomoni?

My prince...

... didn't die because of me, right?

Didn't die because of me, right?

My son...

My son... My son...

My son... My son...

Return to Gyeonghee-gung!

Sing the song of victory!

How cruel.

After torturing his son till death, he even asked for the the song of victory to be sung.

-=The Eighth Day=-

Ilcheonseok.

Icheonseok.

Samcheonseok.

A compassion towards Seson...

Understanding the sincerity of the palace officials...

Is only a complicated resolve.

With this a title is granted to you.

Condolences, Sado Seja.

Follow me!

Quick, follow me!

Seson is not the Sado Seja's prince.

Seson must be quickly sent to Gyeonghee-gung.

Let go of your sangbok. [Sangbok - mourning outfit]

I refuse to.

I don't want to! I refuse to!

You must let this go first before heading there.

I refuse to!

I refuse to!

I refuse to.

You have to ascend the throne so that you could avenge your father. Isn't it so?

-=14 years later=-

I...

... erasing all the memories of your Aebi.

For the future of this country.

It doesn't matter who's gonna replace your Aebi as a King,

he's still a traitor of this country.

This is our principle.

I'll keep that in mind.

Starting from today...
