(Final Episode)

Are you all right?

I am fine.

My stomach is still a little upset though.

- I am so relieved. - My stomach is still upset.

I am so relieved.

You cry as much as Bi Yeon did.

That is why I came.

I do cry very often.

My brother used to make fun of me.

I have a question for you.

You are welcome to ask a hundred.

I heard you are a good cook.

What is your secret?

It is not much, but I loved to cook as a child.

Father, Lin has...

- Lin, darn you! - Sit down.

Father, he brought Eun San to this house. She was my fiancee...

Have a seat.

Why would he bring her here without telling me first?

Do you have to do this?

- Forgive me. - What have you done this time?

- He wishes to be expelled. - Expelled?

From our family?

He wants his name erased from our family register.

What? Did you murder someone?

- Or... - I have a favor to ask you.

Nonsense. You cannot drag me into this.

I wanted to give you a chance to contribute to the kingdom.

Well, you can ask me.

However,

- keep one thing on your mind. - One thing?

You must forget about Lady San.

- What? - You never even knew her.

- What if I cannot do that? - You should do as I say...

if you do not wish your wrongdoings...

to be exposed once again.

Be careful of...

your greed and women.

Tell him that you will do that and that you are thankful.

Say that to your brother.

The summer of 1297 began.

You may use the entire annex.

Our lady told us beforehand, so we did prepare some stuff,

but if you need anything, let us know.

- Did you wait for long? - No.

- Are you certain? - By all means.

So you know where the golden stamp is?

Song In told me where it was.

- Why? - Because I was such a beauty?

- That darn Song In. - I agree.

I do too.

Anyway, do we have to go by ourselves? What about my guards?

You will see.

- You always traveled without them. - It will take over a day.

It will take a day to get there and a day to come back.

- And maybe a little longer. - What if we travel by horse?

- Let us go without him. - No, no.

At least tell me where we are going.

- This way. - Okay.

Why are you both annoyed with me?

I knew they were lying when I looked into their eyes.

That is how close we were.

I knew they were fooling me,

and they knew that I knew.

Be careful.

That summer,

we were practicing our farewell.

To a friend whom I never separated from...

and to you, whom I thought I would never be separated with.

And to me.

I think the house is empty.

Gosh, it is cold.

I remember this.

Me too.

- Mount Duta. - Mount Duta.

It rained like this that day too.

I could not believe we went to get your master his wine.

I should have recognized you then.

One was busy getting firewood,

but the other did not lift a finger.

I was not like that.

So you do know you were the latter.

I can explain that. Lin busies himself for nothing.

I am the normal one. He is abnormal.

I will go and get some firewood.

Sit down here for a while.

Look.

Does this not remind you of anything?

- The rain? - A mountain in the rain.

A cave.

A broken bridge.

Seolloju.

Mount Duta.

The rain stopped.

Lin will get firewood, and I will cook.

- Give me that. I will do it. - Do not be afraid.

- I will do it. Give me that. - Do you know how to cook?

I do.

- If you add all that... - It will be fine.

- I just need to stir it. - Let me do it.

Go, and rest.

Let me do it.

- I will do it. - No.

Step aside, both of you.

My eyes sting.

- It is so salty. - It is salty?

I should have known when you used up all that expensive salt.

- Did you truly taste the salt? - Taste it for yourself.

I am so happy. I am so pleased for you.

What is wrong with you? Wait here.

I will find a way to remedy this.

You said she had lost her sense of taste.

She got it back.

I am so proud of her.

The stars came out after the rain.

The moon is out too. Look.

It was a passing shower.

I read your letter.

Do not talk about it.

Why not? It was touching.

I wrote it at night. That is why it sounds...

Anyway, do not mention that letter.

- In the letter you wrote... - Come on.

Hear me out.

I was honored too...

that you considered me your friend.

- Was that embarrassing? - Incredibly.

Let us never do that again. I cannot stand it.

It is a full moon.

The King's seal.

Yes.

- If San really finds it... - I will keep it.

I was afraid you would say that.

That is why I followed you here.

Do not even dream of it.

"The King of Goryeo..."

"or his son was at the head of the anti-Yuan movement."

The Yuan army will invade us very willingly.

- I will deal with it. - You just have to give an order.

To catch Wang Lin, the leader of the anti-Yuan movement.

Say that I even abducted the King.

That the evidence will be found on me.

What comes after I catch you and find the proof?

I will take it.

It has gotten colder. San's clothes are too thin.

Stay with her.

- Did I wake you up? - I was already awake.

Did you hear...

what we said?

I guessed that much before I had overheard.

I apologize.

For what?

I said I would follow you anywhere,

that I would be with you.

I cannot keep that promise.

You are a strong...

and cheerful person.

- I just pretend to be. - I will not worry about you.

People do not know me very well.

The King's seal. You have it, right?

Give it to me.

- Lady San. - I remember.

The day you first called me that.

No one had called me that in so long.

- I was surprised. - Before I called you that...

Long before that,

when I was 12,

I snuck into your house once.

It was nighttime, and you were crying.

As you cried,

you lit lotus lanterns to comfort the dead.

Ever since then,

I liked you.

For a short while,

I dreamed of making you mine.

I apologize for that.

I will let you go now.

Do not look back.

I wish we got to practice life once.

A practice run.

I would remember the lessons...

and live a righteous life the second time around.

I wish we got...

to practice life once.

In 1357,

the envoy from Yuan receives important information.

It was from Wang Jeon.

I know who is leading the anti-Yuan movement.

It was about Wang Lin's hideout,

the headquarters of the anti-Yuan movement.

The Crown Prince sent his best bodyguards.

They are the best in Goryeo,

and they surrounded the criminal in under an hour.

Among his belongings was the Goryeo King's seal.

The King commended the Crown Prince for his efforts...

and abdicated in his favor and retired to a corner of the palace.

Wang Lin's body...

was found at the mouth of a river few days later.

He had been disowned by his family and died a traitor,

so no one claimed his body.

He was cremated without a ceremony.

There was a rumor that an unknown woman took his ashes.

That day, the new king climbed a hill...

and waited for someone for a long time.

In a short period, the new king reformed the government.

He worked day and night...

and spent his free time alone.

Your Majesty, the banquet will begin soon.

The Yuan envoys are all seated.

I will be there soon.

Go, and wait for me.

Yes, Your Majesty. I shall obey your command.

Your Majesty.

Do you remember Eun Young Baek, the Minister of Finance?

He had a daughter. Her name was...

Eun San. She was also known as So Hwa.

I heard someone who looked like her was spotted.

Somewhere near Namhae.

- She was... - That is enough.

Go, and wait for me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I told you not to tell me...

where you are.

I thought you had gone far, but you are still in Goryeo.

What if I come running after you?

You are too close.

Seven months after becoming king,

he abdicated in favor of his father, the previous king,

and left to Yuan.

He did not return to Goryeo for 10 years.

Much later, someone found a painting by the young king.

This is the story...

about me who loved you...

more than myself.
