All language subtitles for Sungkyunkwan Scandal E08

It's not about a guy
wanting to see a naked girl.

Let's think of it

as an investigation into the truth.

Crazy Horse.

Yeah?

What are you doing here?

And you?

Have you seen Kim Yunsik?

Kim Yunsik?
Why are you looking for him?

I can't find him anywhere.

This is the ritual room.

Only those who, you know,

can perform rituals
are allowed to enter,

so why would Big Man be here?

Why couldn't he be here?

It's a secret and isolated place
where only priests can enter.

If Big Man has a secret,

what better place
is there for him?

Right?

Seeing is believing, right?

Let's see for ourselves

whether or not Big Man is here.

No.

Why are you so scared?

I'm not scared.

Where's our good old Crazy Horse?

A little donkey trembling with fear
must have taken his place.

Like this.

Is there something we shouldn't see

in there?

What?

So you won't let us see?

Are you planning
to enjoy the view alone?

Right, Garang?

Speak up, my friend.

Crazy fool!

This is the ritual room.
The ritual room.

What else is in there but ritual bowls?

So get the hell out of here!

Only ritual bowls, you say?

You're right.

But I just saw light seeping
through the crack.

Perhaps a stick of incense
used at the last ritual

hasn't been properly blown out.

I should let the school
and the students know,

so that we can all

get to the bottom of this together.

No!

No, right?

It would be better for me
to check alone, right?

What did you see in here anyway?

Fortunately, there are no
traces of ember.

We should go to our rooms
for the nightly roll call.

Wait up.

I saw light in here.

What is the meaning of this?

How dare you cause a ruckus,
especially in the ritual room?

Tell me what's going on.

We saw light in here
as we were passing by.

Light?

How dare you horse around
in the sacred ritual room?

It's blasphemous.

You each get a 5-point deduction.

But Professor...

Get out, right now.

Big Man's not back yet.

If he's not in the ritual room,
where can he be?

There's nowhere to hide
on this campus.

Yet he cannot be found.

Isn't it strange, Crazy Horse?

Where are you going?

To find him.

Stop right there!

He's a grown man.
He'll be back when he feels like it.

Stop fussing over him.

I heard about an incident
at the ritual room.

Did you cause it?

I'm sorry, sir.

Do you think being
a Sungkyunkwan student

is a fun little picnic?

No. Of course not, Professor.

Remember this.

Here at Sungkyunkwan,

you are not a girl.

And even if everyone thinks
you're a man,

you yourself cannot forget
you're a girl and let your guard down.

The moment you said
you would remain here,

you have set upon a perilous
journey risking your own life.

And the person who chose
to put yourself in such mortal danger

is yourself, Kim Yunhui.

Didn't Kim Yunsik say

I should recognize him
as a Sungkyunkwan student

and also apologize
if he came in first place?

Well...

Don't worry about it, proctor.

What can one do?

It's the trans-factional unity team
acknowledged by the King Himself.

I have given him my word.

I'm sorry, proctor.

- This is all my fault...
- if you want me to,

I can take care of them.

No. Give me another chance.

Just one more chance.

Look at how scared you all are.

No one does anything!

No one!

This will be a lot of fun.

Should I let the King Himself kick them
out of Sungkyunkwan,

Or...

Should I make them
turn against each other?

Decisions, decisions...

What's it to you?

You saw...

At the ritual room...

Right?

Where have you been all this time?

I heard you even got into a fight.

What's the matter with you today?

You weren't here for roll call
and you got into a fight.

Are you trying to be like Crazy Horse?

Kim Yunsik is a girl, right?

You're crazy.

What are you saying?

You can't fool me.

I'm Gu Yongha.

I can guess the color of a girl's
undergarment by her perfume alone.

And I've known you for 10 years.

Good for you.

So what?

Hiccups.

You ran out

because you can't share
a room with a girl.

So that means one of the two
in there is a girl.

Lee Seonjun was with us
the whole time...

So there's only one answer.

Big Man Kim Yunsik.

Go to sleep.

Sleep talking with your eyes open
can become a habit, you know?

We'll see

how long you can share
a room with a girl.

Please let me repay you
for your kindness.

Repay me?

You've eluded me again, Kim Yunsik.

A girl enters Sungkyunkwan,

mocking the king and the national law?

That's fine, I suppose.

But someone tries to deceive me?

My pride won't allow it.

I could've gotten to the bottom of it
if it weren't for Crazy Horse.

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Crazy Horse.

- Crazy Horse.
- Get out of here!

What are you doing there?

And why are you wearing your robe
and tucked in your blanket?

Get away from me.

Crazy Horse.

Malaria.

I think I may have malaria.

Malaria?

Yeah.

So don't come near me.

How was your bath last night?

Bath? Thanks to you,
I went through quite an ordeal.

Did something happen
at the ritual room?

I never even got near
the ritual room.

You didn't?

I got scared after hearing
about the ghost.

The virgin female ghost.

She must be desperately waiting
for a man to come in.

Plus, I'm no ordinary man.

I'm Big Man.

So I was looking for you to ask me
to pour some water on my back,

but you were nowhere to be found.

Don't ever go near the ritual room.

Who knows?

The ghost must hate all men
who abandon their women.

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you sure you weren't
at the ritual room?

I saw light coming from
the ritual room.

You were there last night?

See?

The virgin ghost probably
used light to lure you in.

You should be kinder
to women from now on.

We're finally going home.

Home sweet home.

Are you all happy?

- Yes.
- Yes, sir.

You can visit home
every 8th and the 23rd.

While at home, students should not

hunt, fish, gamble, or do other things

that would tarnish
the reputation of Sungkyunkwan.

When you return to school,

you cannot bring
any valuables, luxury goods,

and other items

that are banned at school.

Also, to prepare for Sundujeongang,

don't forget to keep up with you studies.

Lastly, the allowance provided to you
is the sweat and blood of the people.

Don't waste it.
You're dismissed.

Be honest, Big Man.

Do you like going home

or do you like the money?

Why even ask? He has no children
waiting for him at home.

Of course he likes the money.

Confucius once said...

I'm very happy

to be taking this money home.

You always know what to say.

What in the world is that creature?

Tell me.

Are you sure there was no one

at the ritual room last night?

Speak up.

What's up with you?

You're so pale.
Have you seen a ghost?

This is what I think, Professor Yu.

If the students want to bring
things back from home,

as valuable as some
of the things may be,

I don't think we should put
an outright ban against them.

What I mean is,

let's say a student brought
a celadon vase from home.

And?

He looks at it whenever
he misses his parents.

And he may be so grateful to us,
who take care of him like he's our son,

that he may give us the vase

as a token of appreciation.

And I can give it to His Majesty...

Did I say something wrong?

I'm sure Professor Jeong
knows just what I mean.

What is that bizarre contraption?

Did I startle you?

I'm making it for His Majesty
to use at the upcoming Sundujeongang.

He can use it to spot cheaters
from along distance away.

It gives you amazing vision.

You're always a step ahead,
Professor Jeong.

You're already making plans for the
next round of government appointments.

Is that expensive?

Do you know?

The question His Majesty will give
at the Sundujeongang.

Who knows what that eccentric man
will come up with?

Your Majesty?

It's a puzzle.

Pardon?

Don't be startled.

You don't have to solve it.

It's the test question
for the upcoming Sundujeongang.

If anyone passes this exam,

even if it is Lee Seonjun,
the son of a Noron,

you won't be able to talk me out of
what I will set out to accomplish.

You haven't changed one bit
since entering Sungkyunkwan.

You're so distracted by money

that you forget what's truly important.

I have nothing to say to.

Didn't you say
you had a sick brother?

I don't know why you
would remember that.

Since you brought it,
I suppose I'll take it.

If only I were a minute earlier.

Take it, Kim Yunsik.

Here!

Why are you giving it to me?

What's all this, proctor?

My gift.

Tell me.

I did some thinking.

When we are away,

the food in the kitchen will rot.

It will be thrown out
and become fodder for livestock.

You know very well

that this all comes from
the sweat and blood of the people.

We can't waste it on swine and cattle,

especially since we will become
government officials one day.

What are you trying to say?

Don't be so impatient.

So I did some thinking.

Who would be the best person to
take care of leftovers?

Who's dirt poor

and yet smart enough
not to talk about pride

and make a big deal out of this?

It's you, Kim Yunsik.

This is not for Kim Yunsik.

Why you and

not me?

You asked that if you won, I should
accept you as a Sungkyunkwan student.

This is how I am accepting you.

A Sungkyunkwan student
should enjoy some good food.

Right?

Of course.

Shut your mouth.

First Lee Seonjun,
and now Mun Jaesin, too?

All of Kim Yunsik's
personal guards are here.

The trans-factional unity team?

Enough, Crazy Horse.

I'm fine.

Thank you, proctor.

What did you just say?

Put them down right now.

No.

I'm going to take them.

They will help out my family.

Thank you.

Mun Jaesin and Lee Seonjun!

Become one, irrespective
of factional lines?

You can't be one
with the likes of Kim Yunsik,

whether you're a Noron or a Soron.

You've never had to worry
about where your meals come from.

Your the sons of big name families.

How about we become friends

as people from similar backgrounds?

Shut your mouth.

Your breath stinks.

Young Master?

What are these flower pots
doing here?

What good is a son?

Don't you know what today is?

It's not that I don't know
today is father's birthday.

But...?

But he always returns
the flowers.

This is a first.

I know.

Your father must be getting old.

He even invited guests for dinner.

It's just a lot of work for me.

Father invited guests?

Let me look at you.

How handsome you are.

Where is father?

Master.
Young Master is here.

Young Master is here.

I know.

I am waiting for him.

I was a bit taken aback that you're
throwing a birthday banquet.

You've never done it before.

There's no banquet.

I just want to share the nice
fruit wines we made last year.

Your archery skills have improved.

I have a long way to go
to catch up with you.

Trans-factional unity team.

The King seemed very pleased.

Good job.

There's no reason for you
to make the King your enemy just yet.

Are you saying I have to become
His Majesty's enemy in the future?

Are you afraid?

I am afraid
it may not be the right thing to do.

Joseon is the nation of the nobility.

During the two most recent wars,

the only thing the royal family
has done is

go into exile or

kneel before Japanese barbarians.

It was the nobility that rallied the people
and protected the government.

Through the policy of trans-factional unity,

the king aims to turn us into mere cliques

and take all our power.

I know you're smart enough
not to be fooled

by such a deceptive policy.

But you shouldn't do things that may
be misunderstood by the world.

Misunderstood by the world?

Cavorting with a nameless Namin kid

and a Soron roommate.

I don't have such roommates.

My roommate Kim Yunsik may be poor,
but has always studied hard.

He puts his family's welfare
before his pride.

And my roommate Mun Jaesin
never hesitates to fight for justice.

I learn from them.

This is your father's order.

What more do you need?

What would you like?

- This. And give me all of that.
- Yes, sir.

A large plateful.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This looks better on you.

It's so pretty.

How well you know
what women like.

That's five pennies.

How about a ribbon?

No thanks.

Men must like this.

I'll take it.

Who's making you do this?

Speak up!

The Minister of War.

Why is he tailing me?

Not you, sir.

Then who?

Answer me.

The dainty-looking scholar...

Who are you, Kim Yunsik?

You couldn't even tail
a dainty little fellow?

But he's definitely
not the Red Writer, sir.

His style of archery and his build
are not that of the Red Writer.

Who's asking you to analyze all that?

If I tell you to get him,
you get him.

I don't care whether or not
he is the Red Writer.

I'm home, Father.

I hear you're going to
the Prime Minister's birthday banquet.

It's Gurim pottery.

I don't know what's gotten into him.
He never throws banquets.

It's to showcase his power.

Why?

To whom?

He wants to show that although
the king may be rallying

the young students of Sungkyunkwan,

it isn't the royal family
that is running Joseon.

There's a student named
Kim Yunsik at Sungkyunkwan.

What's he like?

I would first like to know
why you're asking.

Stop being so uptight.

Just let this one slide.

Nothing should happen at Sungkyunkwan
without my knowing.

I owe his father a little something.

Are you worried that

the son will come to collect
his father's debt?

Something like that.

Don't worry.
He's not cut out for such a thing.

That's a relief.

It seems as though the king
is watching him closely.

He was on that
trans-factional unity team.

That's over, too.

I'm planning to make
Lee Seonjun my man.

How?

Didn't you know?

Hyo-eun.

Hyo-eun?

What about my daughter?

This one.

When will the Young Master
ask for my hand in marriage?

Snap out of it.
It will never happen.

What?

Who do you think you are?
Don't you know who I am?

Calm down, Miss.

All his special power is
concentrated in his lips.

He gets more powerful
the more you curse at him.

My sister could not bear a son
despite ten years of prayer.

But he gave her a son.

He also said that my father
would take a mistress.

So what should I do?

Are people naive or stupid?

Do they really believe a few picture
cards can move a person's heart?

He's the best there is.

He shut down several tea houses.

Really?

You get to gossip there
and have your fortune told.

Isn't it wonderful?

Is that why the place is called
Gossip Fortune?

Should I get my fortune told?

You?

Who is it?

Whose heart do you want to move?

Mine.

My heart.

Women are great but

they get so boring.

It would be nice
if you wouldn't get so boring.

It would cost me less.

If ever you find a woman
who doesn't bore you,

I'd like to meet her, too.

The man is a bear,

a stupid bear.

He doesn't know that a girl
is right in front of his eyes.

His eyes are useless slits.

Is that why he can't see me?

Just look at you.

You're the one who picked
the lousy cards.

You don't deserve to cry.

What's the tiger?

A perilous destiny.

There's always a tiger lurking about.

What should I be doing, sir?

Mugwort and garlic.

Become a woman.

Tell that bear of a man
that you are a woman.

Then it'll all be over.

That I am a woman, sir?

No! No! I can't do it.

What is it?

- What did he say?
- Tell us.

You don't need to know.
I won't do it anyway.

You won't do it?

You used to do anything for money.

Give me something else to do.
I can't write that love letter.

I'll finish everything
before I return to Sungkyunkwan.

Do you want to see me go down?

That miss has quite a temper.

What am I to do?
I can't write it.

I've never received or
written any love letters.

Do you think this is
something I want to do?

I make no profit off this.
I'm only doing you a favor.

No profit?

I heard you charge three nyang
for a love letter.

I don't get a single penny.

It all goes to the prime minister's son.

This is so frustrating.

Don't you remember?

I gave you an advance of 50 nyang
when you got into Sungkyunkwan.

The prime minister's son?

What are you saying?

Choseon.

What's the matter?

Have you seen a ghost?

A ghost? What ghost?

There's no such thing as a ghost.

I need to go back
to the Peony Pleasure House.

Didn't you say you were
getting a new dress?

If I'm in a beautiful new dress

and yet he doesn't look at me,

what excuse will I have?

Why you and

not me?

Young Master.

You have a guest.

What brings you here?

Young Master.

What are you doing

in a man's outfit?

I'm the daughter of a noble family.

People can talk.

For me, coming here is more difficult
than entering Sungkyunkwan.

I congratulate you
on your birthday, Prime Minister.

- Congratulations.
- Let's eat.

Could you please let
His Majesty know that

we enjoyed a festive banquet

thanks to the food and wine
His Majesty has provided?

You must also tell His Majesty

just how many people came to
congratulate the Prime Minister

at his birthday banquet.

I don't plan to do that,
Minister of War.

Gossip mongers will have a lot to say

about this banquet.

They may say you're trying
to show your power to His Majesty.

It's all just idle gossip of course.

Relaying the world's base outlook

will only tarnish the reputation
of the Prime Minister.

Well...

Did you think His Majesty

would be swayed by such idle gossip?

His Majesty knows
very well how loyal I am

to the nation of Joseon.

You can't keep doing this.

Your showing up like this

not only goes against
the dictates of decorum

but it also is an affront against me.

From now on, if you have a message
for me, have a servant...

No. No.

He said it just had to be on you
for just 15 minutes.

Do you have feelings for me?

If so, please stop all this.

I don't believe that an amulet can move
a person's heart. And also,

I hate people who believe
in superstition.

I don't want to be associated

with such a person neither
as a friend nor something more.

So please go home.

And I hope

we don't see each other again.

Then what should I do?

I'm angry, too.
I hate myself for being like this.

I wasn't going to come.

I couldn’t have even dreamed of
doing something this stupid.

But here I am,

standing before you,
so pathetic and foolish.

I was so happy that something I had
only read about was happening to me.

I had butterflies
in my stomach everyday.

But it slowly dawned on me

that you did not have
the same feelings for me.

But that's okay,

because I like you.

I like you very much.

I'm so sorry, Miss.

Hyo-eun!

Don't worry.
Nothing serious will...

How can you ask me
to give up on you?

You must not have known.

It hasn't been long
since I myself have found out.

Kids these days are
so different from us.

We can't just fault them.

It's a part of youth.

Sundol will take you home.

Please take care.

Hey! That's the dainty scholar.

Please take the miss home, Sundol.

Yes, sir.

Haven't you come to see me?

Kim Yunsik!

Has it been fun?

I must have looked ridiculous to you,
all excited at being at Sungkyunkwan,

oblivious to everything.

What are you talking about?

50 nyang!

Mr. Hwang at the bookstore
told me everything.

I don't ever

want to see you face again.

Listen to me first.

Did you say marriage?

You can take the high exam
after the wedding.

You can prepare for
the exam at home.

I will have him wrapped
around my little finger.

Where is he?

There were eight cases of robbery
in the Unjong District.

Slimy little thief.

Does that mean Kim Yunsik
may not be the thief?

Even if he's innocent, it will be
difficult to find the real culprit.

This is all my fault.

I don't want to be indebted
to anyone again.

I died that night with brother.

Where did you get that?

Say what you want to say.

I believe in Lee Seonjun,

more than myself.
