MOON LOVERS: SCARLET HEART RYEO

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

Go to Later Qin Dynasty as an ambassador.

Check how much they're extending their power.

That's too...

- dangerous. - I will follow your order.

Will you just go without saying anything?

It's an Emperor's order.

I will take your order to leave Songak, but...

Haesu has no where to go but Damiwon.

Please have mercy on her.

You still take her side.

She's not someone I can forgo.

I'll do my best on duty as an ambassador.

- Take Haesu away. - I'm sorry?

Send her to where she can never meet any princes.

If he can't forgo her by himself,

I must do it for him as father.

She had the characteristics to be an Empress...

but she wasn't destined to be the one.

Is that good luck or bad luck?

That's too obvious.

She's gone because she met me.

It's the worst.

She's lucky because she left here with no regrets and wishes.

Believe so.

You need to leave Damiwon.

The Emperor said do not say goodbye to any prince

and to never see them.

Where should I go?

Where can I go...

so I don't see them anymore?

How are you feeling?

Holding up OK?

I will forget someday.

Try to forget as soon as possible, since it's so painful.

Same to you, Prince.

Please forget about me.

Stop talking nonsense. Until I come back...

wait for me at Damiwon.

I am not waiting.

You became like this trying to help me.

I remember how happy you were

when you could live in the palace.

You have to leave far away all because of me.

So please, stop getting confused between love and friendship.

You'll get hurt if you only give all your energy to one person.

I'd say that to you.

You'd be unhappy if you were involved with me.

As everyone else.

But I still won't let you go.

Because I can only be a bad guy with this face anyway.

You silly.

I said I'll respect you.

I lied.

I'll use this as my lucky charm.

Because I'll be right back.

I'm not going to wait.

Even if you'd die for me, even if you call me yours,

I can't.

I'm scared to see you.

My heart was clearly meant for someone else.

But why is it so hard to let things go as if they were nothing?

Brother!

Haesu is gone. She's nowhere in Damiwon.

What if...

she's been kicked out?

Haesu...

Haesu!

The person who was like my right arm has been removed.

Did you do it?

I'm sure you wanted to get rid of it, too.

When I see you like this, I feel like you're my own daughter.

You and I will be the best partners.

It won't happen.

Now I remember.

My mother was exiled after she was framed that

she caused the court lady's miscarriage.

That was Court Lady Oh.

After all, it's you who killed the woman that the Emperor loves the most.

I can't be close to the Empress who'll be kicked out anytime if that's revealed.

You need to get it straight.

You're in the same boat.

I swallowed the poison myself. Who'd be suspicious of me?

Anyone who knows the truth and helped is all gone.

Now you're all alone, Your Highness.

Do not ever make my mother kneel again.

Please take care of yourself well. You'll need to.

Yeonhwa is something.

That makes me crazy about her.

She's dangerous. She has more ambition than any man.

Stay away from her.

It's fun that way.

Have you met Uncle Wang yet?

He promised that he'd help whenever I'd need it.

Now you'll be the mother of an Emperor.

He's not going to move at no cost.

What does he want?

He wants Suhkyungchundo.

SUHKYUNGCHUNDO IS THE CAPITAL OF GORYEO LATER

1 YEAR LATER

All nobles who never come to the palace are here.

What's going on?

The Emperor has mentioned about ten principals for Princes.

So the second son can also be the Emperor, not only the first son.

They're all here to recommend me.

That's funny.

How have you been? I heard you chased out the pirates.

Why don't you go greet Mother? She's not happy.

Don't worry about me. I'm OK on my own.

And Mother has you.

Look how you talk now.

He's changed after hanging out with you, Uk.

I'm worried that he'll be get trouble being that greedy.

We'll see about that.

That's wrong!

Wrong again.

You're not poking there. You should wrap him with the sword.

You're always wrong at the same spot.

You'll only be embarrassed like that.

- Let's do it again. - Nope.

What?

You should know the boundary when you're ordering people around.

Look at this.

Look at my lips, all swollen after helping you.

The wife is waiting for me with meals, so I need to go.

You have a wife?

Why?

Are you uncomfortable that I'm married?

Why would I? I don't care.

How long have you been married?

Do you have a kid?

Let me see. Yes, it's been over 20 years.

And I have a handsome son.

What?

It's a wife, but it's my father's wife.

I meant that my mother is waiting for me, so I should get going.

You played me. How dare you.

You got fooled.

It's your fault.

It's good that you practice, but don't get hurt.

OK?

OK.

When I become Emperor, I'll divorce all my wives and marry you.

Your current wife's father is the vice-premier.

How would I trust that you take out your closest support?

He's from Later Baekje. I need his power to become Emperor.

But after that, he's an enemy.

I know well of a man's weaknesses.

And you know the darkest of a man.

We're meant to be. Can't you tell?

I'm afraid people will talk about you two because you come here often.

Please don't forget that you and I are never partners.

Don't worry.

I'm here to see Yeonhwa, now you.

I now have the reason, thanks to Father's ten principles.

Why don't you just hit the Emperor now?

If the Prince Crown is throned, things will be complicated.

I still can't go against morals.

How can a son attack his own father?

The father is willing to kill his son.

Why not his son?

It's just a joke.

Just don't forget your promise that you'll support me, not the Crown Prince.

Sure.

I don't understand you.

Why don't you want to be the Emperor but be the shadow of him?

If we attack the Crown Prince, I'll become the traitor even if I'm throned.

But...

the traitor who killed the traitor will become the hero.

Right now, it's better to be his shadow, his trusted shadow.

What if the third brother betrays us?

You can help with that.

What?

That ring...

it suits you well.

Do you want me to be a hostage?

Partner or hostage...

whichever word you prefer.

We have unfinished business.

I'm sure you can endure that much then.

I like this so much.

The Fourteenth Prince is killing pirates

as if he's breaking flowers.

The Emperor also regards him as a great general and likes him.

He could be the next Emperor.

Really?

What about the Eighth Prince? I heard he's the closest to the Emperor.

That's why all nobles with daughters have asked for the marriage.

Haesu, since you're from Damiwon, I'm sure you've seen Princes.

Who's most handsome?

Who's the best?

Hey, I know you heard me.

Can't you hear us?

Don't talk about Princes. You'll get in trouble.

So we're too low to even talk about the Princes?

You're kicked out from there.

I'm warning you to watch your mouth.

Wow.

She won't even let us talk about them. She's ridiculous.

She'd tear up the paper when we asked to draw the Fourth Prince.

I must rinse my clothes now.

What are you staring at?

You little witch. How dare you.

What...

I said stop.

I heard you killed your superior.

Everyone knows Court Lady Oh died because of you.

What an unlucky creature, no one wants to be near you for that.

What a bad day.

Here it is.

It must be cool in there.

You like it, right?

Brother!

Good work.

Brother.

It was a new walking path. Did you do that on purpose?

It has been a year. Will you let her be like that?

She's a mere maid.

She's the lowest in the palace. Why would I care?

I know it all.

Brother, you loved her.

You must have another reason.

Or you wouldn't act like this. I know you.

Because I can't die with her.

The Emperor kicked her out. I can't go against his will.

You be careful, too.

Don't forget that you can be thrown away at any moment here.

Your leg is...

still hurting?

I thought Jung sent you some medicine.

It's only like this when I'm working long hours.

I'm OK.

Are you hurt?

Do you hate me?

I missed you.

I couldn't come because I can't promise you anything.

I became powerless.

I couldn't help you.

Still, I missed you.

I can't bring you because Father is still furious about what happened.

I can't even bring up marriage.

Did you miss me?

Even once...

have you missed me at all?

Every day.

Every moment, I missed you.

Then I'm good.

That's enough.

Now...

things will get better.

So...

when I become powerful...

Don't do anything radical because of me.

Don't risk yourself.

I've seen enough of that.

Just don't be sick.

Don't make me feel guiltier.

How's Later Qin Dynasty?

The King is dead, and his cousin acceded to the throne.

It seems like they'll have a war with theKitan soon to ensure the territories

but they're not going to win with all the complaints about the new King.

So theKitan's era will begin, huh?

Then go to theKitan this time.

I don't want to.

No?

You didn't keep the promise you made when I left, so I won't listen.

You still think of her?

An emperor should know how to abandon anyone to keep his position.

You should be thankful when I did that for you.

I'm not an emperor nor am I to be the one.

If you need more sides for the Crown Prince, stop controlling me.

I'll start living as a human being, too.

That...

Your Majesty.

All children think they know best.

So don't be to disturbed by that.

I'm worried about your health.

He should've been like that way before.

I'm sorry?

He's not going to lose now with anyone.

I can close my eyes in peace now seeing that he's so grown up.

Your star is still up there, bright and shiny. Please don't say that.

Sometimes a man knows his days better than heaven.

Be prepared.

You never listen to me.

I told you to stay at Damiwon.

I guess servant work fits better for you.

I missed you.

You can't come here.

Please leave.

You're still the same.

You're beautiful.

Why...

did you put that mask again?

Did you forget how to make that make-up?

Or did the scar hurt?

You hated that mask that much...

I didn't take it off so I won't forget about you.

I was determined to come back to see you.

I'm not a court lady at Damiwon, but a mere maid now.

I can't meet Princes face to face.

You're here safely.

And I'm well here.

So everything is good.

- Haesu. - Please go.

This isn't a place for you. Let's go.

I'll solve it no matter what.

Please leave me alone!

I'm just here because I can't either die or live.

The Court Lady Oh...

and the scary life in palace where you don't know what will happen...

I can forget all if I work as a slave.

As you helped me I'll take care of you.

I'll help you forget everything without working long hours.

The last person I want to see is...

you.

When I see you,

all the memories I want to forget come back.

My heart aches because I'm so afraid that something could happen.

I'm so afraid and nervous when I'm with you.

And you're still asking me to come with you?

Are you trying to kill me?

Please go back.

I'll live like this just fine. I can survive.

And you...

please live in peace.

Just forget all, the hatred and resentment.

Then no one will get hurt.

Mencius?

Are you testing your husband?

I can bet my wrist that I've read it all.

This is mine, then.

Next!

Fine, take it. Carve all out to take them.

My arm, leg and neck! Take them all!

Next.

No way. This is from Haesu.

You...

You're not crying, are you?

Father!

My daughter is still well.

By the way, why do you lie on that desk

like that?

You're scaring him to death!

If he dies from it, he can't survive this world.

Are you hurt?

Should I put some medicine on it?

Don't be anxious. I know my day is coming.

It's a new tea from Damiwon.

I don't have any appetite.

A new court lady has mixed and made a new tea, try a sip, please.

Did she make it?

I wanted to get your appetite back. I'm so sorry.

Bring her in.

I don't think I heard it right.

You'll do what?

You've heard it right.

Marry me, please.

I've seen this before when my grandfather passed away.

I don't know what year Taejo has died but...

I'm sure his days aren't many.

You think I will die soon.

You're different. Where are you from?

After Court Lady Oh's incident, I've looked into you.

Your childhood friends, your relatives...

I've asked all Uk's families, too.

I can only conclude that the person has been switched.

It's a whole different person.

Who are you?

I'm...

I'm...

I am...

I'm not that kind of person.

I'm the farthest from any man you'd want.

Yes, I know.

That's why I've kept my distance from you.

But...

there's something I didn't know.

I was a woman after all.

I've liked you for a long time.

You and I are destined to be together.

Did you know that the Fourth is destined to be the Emperor?

I think you're the same kind of Jimong.

You'd know something in the future.

Even so, do not interfere.

Please...

send me far away.

I can't live here anymore.

Unless you can close your eyes and be numb about what's going on...

everything will be the same, no matter where you are.

The Crown Prince and So are both destined to be an emperor.

No one knows what will happen here at the palace from now on.

And you'll see all of that.

Don't lose the ones you have now being in the future.

If you were like a daughter to Suyeon,

same for me, so I'm giving you this advice.

Are you OK?

- Let me see. - Stop, it's nothing.

It's not OK. You've fallen a lot today.

Let me see.

I shouldn't ask...

what happened, right?

Then can I hug you?

Can I do that?

When you go through hardship,

I'm sorry I couldn't be with you.

It was before I met you.

I feel even more terrible.

That's what I'm most sorry about.

That I didn't know about you.

Now I want to give you happy memories only.

Trust me.

How would you?

I've never asked you to do that.

Woohee.

I have one more to tell you.

What's wrong?

Why are you so down?

Did something happen with you and Baeka?

How did you meet him again?

Oh...

Before I entered the palace, I met him on the street.

He knew my sister, too.

I think he's a good person.

I can assure that.

I would never meet him

if I were old me.

Now that I'm in this position, I meet a man like that.

I can't tell you everything, but...

he's only coming here for you.

So don't push him away.

No.

I won't get close to him anymore.

Because...

I'll leave soon.

Leave?

To where?

When we first met, we got closer because we had similar scars.

We didn't ask each other

how we got the scars.

Let's keep it that way.

It'd be better not to know

so you won't be in trouble if anything happens later.

Tomorrow is the day.

You'll make me pretty, right?

Sure, of course.

I'll make you the prettiest of all.

Please make me a woman that no one can forget about.

Will you do that?

I want to be remembered like that.

Are you done prepping with the girl?

This is our only chance.

She's full of hatred towards the Emperor. So don't worry.

Please make it a secret to Mother. As much as she hates Father,

she loves him as well.

Let's cancel the event. You don't look well, Your Majesty.

I agree, Your Majesty.

It's not a regular event you go to either.

You're only going because of the nobles.

Uncle Wang is coming too, but the Eighth Prince and I can handle him.

Please rest.

I think you should go, Your Majesty.

Today's purpose is to show them you're as strong as ever.

You have to show them even a little bit to make the rumors go away.

You're right. I can't show my weaknesses.

Let's go.

Haesu.

Let's get married.

What?

If we get married, we can get away from here.

Let's do that.

I can't do that.

If you really hate me, we can get divorced after we get out.

I'll do that. Let's get out of here first.

You have your duties.

You don't have to leave because of me.

And the Emperor...

thinks of you and worries about you.

He continuously test his own son.

He's not a father, but an emperor.

I don't want to be with him.

What if...

you'll be the Emperor?

Will you still leave here?

If I'm the Emperor, will you leave with me?

It was hard to be the ambassador, but I felt free often,

every time I thought of you.

I wanted to give you that freedom.

I just want to be with you, nothing else to worry about.

If I can't do that, being Emperor is meaningless for me.

Come with me.

You're mine, remember?

No.

I can't marry you just to get out of the palace.

Haesu.

How can a prince marry a maid?

Don't play with her with that nonsense.

If I say I'll get married, I mean it.

She became like that...

all because of you.

Because she was involved in the fight between you and the Empress.

She's been unfairly treated here.

You started it.

And now you ask her to marry?

I can't forgive you.

Same goes to you.

I let you know everything to make Haesu shine...

but you couldn't pull it off.

I resent your incapability.

You!

Wrong again! You're not poking there you should wrap him with the sword.

Don't pretend you care. Just keep ignoring.

Now we're not even related.

She's the only one who knows about Father's condition. Find her now!

I don't know your real intention.

I'm prioritizing who to attack first.

Since there must be no mistake to be the Emperor.

Why did you hide the truth?

You've changed.

- I'll become the Emperor. - I'll become the Emperor.
