MOON LOVERS: SCARLET HEART RYEO

THIS SHOW IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED ON HISTORIC EVENTS.

Prince.

Look at me.

Look me in the eyes!

Those eyes...

that look in your eyes...

I hate them so much.

So don't ever look at me like that.

How did I look at you?

I've never looked at you differently.

You feel pity for me.

You do!

Did you think I'd appreciate that?

Do you know what it feels like to be treated that way from you?

Don't appear in front of me.

I'm not sure...

what I'm going to do next time I see you.

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm sorry, I couldn't stop.

Yun is also regretting. So please forgive him.

You wouldn't look at me.

What?

How come you didn't see me directly?

I thought you wouldn't like it. Are you mad about that?

The heart of a human is the most difficult one.

Some are sad to see, some are sad not to see.

I don't even know myself.

You can see me anytime.

I want you to.

OK.

Haesu...

I think the Third Prince was...

Let's not talk about it. I don't want to hear.

EPISODE 8

You've become well fitted for Damiwon already.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I bet you're still hanging around with the princes.

I can't see them as much as before.

You're clever, knowing your position.

Now, we have to comb your hair.

Empress Yu is here.

I'll do it.

We're sticking this humble wooden one in for the Emperor?

I've asked to minimize all, as we're in a severe drought.

What are you doing here?

Since you're not visiting me, what else could I do?

The one who misses more should come see.

You can't divide a married couple with anything.

Let's go.

Here's mugwort tea.

Thank you.

Here's white tea.

Thank you.

This is pear juice.

It's my favorite, Su!

Mine is baby-leaf tea.

I think she prepared the tea for each one's favorite.

I'd be happy if you'd like it.

This is pressed-grain tea.

Take it away. It's not the time to enjoy tea.

What?

It's going to be a long drought. We shouldn't drink tea.

The Fourth Prince is right.

The whole nation's suffering from droughts since last winter.

People's agony is enormous.

So please be humble in your appearance.

Are you sure you got the right information I asked?

I said yes.

Fourth Prince's favorite tea is pressed-grain

and the snack, right?

I'm sure.

Since you said not to be obvious,

I got the other brothers' favorite, too.

Then how come he didn't even sip?

It took me so much energy to study and make that.

You ask him yourself.

What would make him forgive you?

I can't even see him to ask that.

He seems to get along fine with other people.

Why just me?

Right, he even accepted Tenth Prince's apology at once.

Wait, So is...

Thank you, Your Highness.

What? Why so suddenly?

What are you doing, Your Highness?

Why do you look so pretty today?

Are you crazy?

It's a punishment for not being able

to make Fourth Prince feel better.

I'll see you again, Su.

Oops.

Go now.

Sure, I should kill myself.

The Prince likes to tease.

Oops, I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

It's not my fault this time.

Dakyung is a book about teas from Dang Dynasty.

Sinsuboncho is a medical book for herbal mixing treatments.

Bonchoseubyuk.

It's written by Jin Changki,

it teaches the effectiveness of various herbs and teas.

I've already read them all.

Yes? Then I'll add more books.

Think through what you've done wrong for four hours.

It's all your fault.

What?

Because of your humble position being too close to the princes.

Do not ever talk to or look at the princes.

Then you won't go through this.

I've known them before I got here in the palace.

It's not like I've tried to flirt with them.

It's your misunderstanding that it's not easy to end relationships.

Look at your scar. You've cut it with the Emperor that easily.

I can't let Damiwon fall into drama because of you.

Don't get close to the princes.

Yes, ma'am.

By the way, why do you always only eat porridge?

I've never seen you eating a normal meal.

If I eat regular food, it's hard to taste teas.

Stay straight.

There's no food because of the drought.

They won't let me play either!

Oh, my!

You, the bear skin?

Why are you here again?

Because...

I...

I mean...

What? You, what?

Do you even know some fun things to do or not?

When does a bird come?

When is it coming?

Never mind!

It's taking forever.

I got it!

Did you see? I got this myself.

So we have to eat this?

More?

You, killer.

How can you just kill it?

Are you even a human being?

I'm not playing with you anymore.

Don't call me!

He wanted to eat this alive?

Hey.

It's burning.

I said it's burning.

What would we do with a man who can't even kill a bird?

I can do it for him.

How can he protect his wife and children?

I can protect.

Come on.

Hey, the Fourth Prince is great at fighting.

And he's handsome and smart.

Why out of all...

Don't you want to give up now?

I only have one heart.

Did I teach you how to fight so you can beat your father for a man?

Do whatever you like.

It's all burnt.

I'll focus on the ritual for rain.

Princes should refrain themselves from going to Damiwon.

'yoke hyul'?

'Yoke' is bath. 'Hyul' is a hole...

Prince.

Su.

Why didn't I think of here?

Chaeryeong showed me. I said I wanted to see you.

How is this place even built like this?

Well, lucky for me.

Right next to this place is the outside of the palace.

Don't you want to go out?

I know.

It's just a few steps away.

I miss Chaeryeong, and I want to see the markets.

I want to visit Ms. Hae.

But when I first got in the palace, the Fourth Prince told me.

"No matter how hard you try to run, you're still on the palm of the Emperor."

There's no place in Goryeo you can hide from him.

Right.

There's no place that his power isn't presence.

I like Damiwon, it fits me well.

Until I can be officially released from the palace,

I'll live here well, trying my best.

Until then...

please don't forget about me.

We'll have a big ritual for rain soon.

If it rains after the ritual, Emperor grants presents to celebrate.

It could be releasing one criminal or a royal family wedding.

Or he gives a festival for the elders,

or...

he sends a court lady home.

I see.

What?

Going home?

When it rains, I'll ask the Emperor to release you to go home.

It means I can go back to your residence?

Then,

I'll search throughout Songak and get all the herbs and ingredients.

I'll fill up the house.

I'm sure Chaeryeong and Princess Yeonhwa will complain so much.

I hope it rains.

Desperately.

Yes.

It will.

Please do not scratch and don't wash with cold water.

I'm going out to get bad guys during droughts.

I'm sure no water is there to wash.

Lady Su, as you know...

You have to be quiet about it.

Sure, I will. I made sure no one see me here.

I left a necklace in your room as a reward.

For taking care of me.

Thank you.

We're ready to depart.

OK, let's go.

What are you doing?

Let me go! Where are we going?

Empress Yu.

Where did you go?

I ran an errand.

The Crown Prince?

I've sent him away.

Why do you need so many stuff to send him away?

That's...

They're all valuable ones, not allowed to bring out.

Did Prince ask for them?

No...

I've stopped by there while running other errands.

Then where did you use these valuable herbs?

By any chance, is Prince Crown ill?

Where?

I don't know anything.

You don't?

How dare you test me?

Let her go please.

She ran an errand for me.

For you?

You're making a fool out of me.

Because the Emperor's knees were hurt from the rituals.

I asked her to put some medicine.

It's a rule not to mention about his condition, but you're misunderstanding.

So I dare to speak of it.

Then why this girl?

She's new, but you let her treat the Emperor?

Would I be me, then?

What?

I've asked if you'd want me to go to the Emperor.

Would you not be suspicious then?

Empress.

Damiwon is under my control.

I'll punish my girl in my way.

Court Lady.

Thank you. Actually...

I said not to be close to the Crown Prince.

You're too arrogant.

I shouldn't have taken you. I regret it now.

Court Lady.

I...

I didn't do anything wrong.

What's the difference if you make medicine for Emperor,

and I make it for the Crown Prince?

I know how to help, but why do you keep saying I shouldn't help?

I don't know why you're only punishing me, not other girls.

I really don't get it.

You don't understand the palace.

You're too ignorant about here.

Right, I don't. So I'm asking you to teach me.

I...

I'm always innocent.

I tried my best to hang on, but why do you hate me so much?

It's so sad and frustrating!

Because you're just like me!

You trust people, help them out and are not afraid.

You shouldn't be in the palace.

You'll get killed easily.

It makes me nervous.

Court Lady!

Are you OK?

Court Lady! Wake up!

Court Lady!

Are you OK?

What happened?

You fainted from a stomachache.

Doctor Tae came in during his loyal visit, no one knows about it.

I see.

So no one else knows?

Don't worry.

I'll keep the secret that you have no energy from only eating porridge.

This is pine nut porridge. The doctor said it's OK to eat.

I'm good, so leave the room.

I'll leave after I see you finishing the food.

Don't you try to tease me. Get out.

Speaking harshly won't work anymore.

What?

I now know why you've been so mean to me.

You worried about me getting killed by doing something nice.

As you've seen me hurting myself before.

You said I'm like you.

Then I'll be extra careful like you.

Then I'll survive well here.

You should also depend on someone when you're weak like today.

You can do that.

Please.

My arms were numb making these.

This is so bad.

What about one of the princes, Your Majesty?

People will feel more secure if

we tell them a prince with water will do the ritual.

Prince Wang Won,

the 23rd year of the sexagenary cycle, the Year of the Dog

Right, right.

Why do we have to do all these?

- Jimong, can I not do this? - What?

I don't like putting my name in for this.

What if I get picked and get all the blames?

It's scary.

The life isn't that easy.

The rain is first, no matter who gets picked.

Right, as a prince, a small talk can bring a big action.

You should be exemplary.

Jung, you haven't seen the ritual.

Once it starts, you have to go days with no food and water.

If it rains, that's good.

But if it doesn't, what would you do?

Right. What happens if it doesn't rain?

Die.

Die?

In the history, people have killed their own king

and splashed the blood for rain.

Jimong! Please take mine out.

They won't easily kill you like that.

As you say...

the whole nation will blame me if it doesn't rain, how can you live like that?

It's not that it rains because of the ritual,

it's that you do ritual until it rains.

Men's will can't change the heaven's will.

You just have to make it look like it.

Fourth Prince, Wang so.

Jimong.

Taejo Wang Gun dares to ask

our ancestors and gods.

As I'm not good enough,

it caused the droughts to this land.

People are innocent, they shouldn't suffer.

So, we'd like to present a ritual ceremony to reach you.

Please help us select the person who'll present the ceremony for you.

Fourth Prince, Wang So.

What?

It's the heaven's will. Please lead the ritual.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You've been here? You should get ready for the ritual.

Does it make sense that I'm selected?

I guess heaven wanted you.

Don't worry. The heaven has chosen you.

Being suspicious won't help.

Right.

I'm chosen.

Please give us rain. Please make it rain.

What is it?

It's the Fourth Prince!

What is going on?

He'll make it rain?

How can a masked man do such a thing?

The heaven will only get more upset.

It's a monster, not a human!

We're doomed!

You have to make it rain!

You jerk...

Give us the right person!

Why do you abandon us?

Get out!

Why do you abandon us?

I told you our chance will come if we wait.

This is our chance to change the Crown Prince, don't lost it.

I've put men on his way home. He won't make it here soon.

So kills people very easily.

But he gets so vulnerable when it's about his face.

I think it's right that heaven has abandoned him.

He got picked when I wished.

I wonder why Jimong and the Emperor picked him.

Picked?

How do they know?

Do you think the heaven's will would change humans' will?

It's all nonsense. It's humans that changes heaven's will.

It's same for the ritual. Whoever it is, you just do it until it rains.

It's not that it rains because of the ritual.

It's that you do the ritual until it rains.

I've heard something similar.

This time...

you should see what this Goryeo is like.

Can you do it?

Prince.

Prince?

When did he bring this?

Are you sleeping?

Is he dead?

Why are you hiding here?

You should go now. Everyone is worried about you.

Nope.

Don't mind too much.

People will forget about it soon.

I said I don't want your pity.

Do you know why you're born?

What?

Have you asked yourself how long you have to live the world like here?

I have.

I sometimes do these days.

You have?

But, there's no answer.

It's not I can choose to be born like this.

But I can choose how I live.

I can have a great life or a miserable one.

But I won't live a life that's swayed.

I've decided to live like that.

There's no one living an easy life.

It's just that you can't see it. Everyone is hard.

They will open the ritual soon.

Everything you went through will pass, too.

You pretend to know everything.

I don't like it.

Why would he say it like that...

I keep thinking about it.

Right.

Who know it might rain if you do a good deed.

I'll go one more time, for the day I'm out of here.

Today is the ritual day, but the Crown Prince is not here yet.

Something bad must have happened.

Let's wait a bit more.

People will rise up if we delay the ritual.

I'll go see if the Crown Prince is coming.

Please try to talk to people meanwhile.

I'm not going.

That was enough to be in front of people.

So the Crown Prince is doing it instead of you.

You kill people without blinking your eyes.

How can you belittle yourself for that?

For what?

You're too obsessed about your scar.

If you don't overcome it, you can't support the Crown Prince.

No, you can ease your anger towards the Empress.

So?

You picked me on purpose to embarrass me like that?

Why?

If I hit the bottom, I should overcome it?

Is that why?

You knew it all.

Please be confident.

Then the number of rocks thrown at you will reduce.

Have you ever be hit by them?

Heaven's will? My foot.

You think my brain isn't working either because of the scar?

When other princes were praised, I was treated like a servant.

And I became the host of the ritual.

There must be no reason to pick

me unless you need a servant to sacrifice.

If it rains, that servant will become the Emperor.

From heaven's will...

it's telling me clearly that you'll stand out among people.

That way the Crown Prince will become the Emperor,

and you'll be the powerful Prince.

I'm only the planner, I can't make things happen.

I get it.

I understand.

This is your limit.

Come with me. Hurry.

I'm going to the ritual. I don't have time.

I'll take that mask off.

What?

You...

you're okay with this terrible face?

Or you feel pity?

How can I feel pity for such an arrogant man?

It's not that big.

It's not fair to make your life depressing for this small scar.

Can I trust you?

I've always wondered and been suspicious.

If you trust me, I won't change first.

I promise.

I can ask for your hand since it's you.

Do it yourself.

I'm now...

all yours.

The Crown Prince is not here yet?

Why don't we wait a bit more, Your Majesty?

What if something happened?

Then we should release the soldiers!

Never.

His star is still up there. Don't say such things easily.

We can't wait forever.

What if we miss the time for the ritual?

Your Majesty, please have the Third Prince as the host for the ritual.

He's the oldest after the Crown Prince. People won't complain.

Oh, my, my stomach urgently...

The Crown Prince won't come even if you try so hard.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying my brother is talented, missing his time.

What?

I'm here to take my seat.

I thought only I can sit here if it's not the Crown Prince.

How dare an animal talk to me like this?

You...

Please come up.

Jimong!

The heaven picked the Fourth Prince.

Let's go.

Please make it rain.

Give us rain.

Please.

Please give us rain.

It's the Fourth Prince!

Again?

Why are you here again?

Stop making fun of us!

Wait! Look at him!

He looks different.

There's no scar!

He's not wearing the mask!

They said he'd have worms on his face.

But...

The son of dragon!

Please give us rain!

What happened?

Where's Yong?

Calm down.

The ritual should come first.

It's raining!

Raining! Thank you!

Finally, it's raining!

It's raining!

Raining!

Gwangjong?

Now be confident with your bare face.

That was your chance of life!

You should've grabbed it even if you had to tear him off!

Be careful of Wang So.

You have to make it clear if you can't be there for him.

There must be a place that needs me.

You cannot interfere.

If I can change...

You've already touched

Wang So's face.

I don't want to get married.

Do you really want to die for humiliating your father?

If you wait for me...

I can wait too.

I love you.

Please give me Haesu as my person.
