Why is this like this?

Why is it suddenly...

This is the first time it's been like this.

First?

This is merely the beginning.

Goodness means you will embrace even evil and accept it.

But justice means you will never accept evil.

Justice means you must get rid of evil...

in order to be called just.

It can't be... Could that child have really done it?

[Episode 4] What brings you here so late at night?

Was it you?

Was it you that night?

Was it you who left Heo Kang's clothing there that night, Teacher?

At least you still call me teacher.

Whether it be good or evil, you did still teach me.

That night, you committed an act of evil.

And I did one of justice.

Justice, you say?

You consider that to be just?

What a scary place this world would be if your sense of justice reigned.

I shouldn't have to hear that from an evil man.

But, I suppose so.

Yes, I am still lacking in many ways.

You could say that I am still learning the ways of being just.

I am still young.

That's right.

Whether I am evil or not, we do have one thing in common.

Yes, at the very least...

You should continue being good...

both you and your father.

Neither of us are good.

Until I become strong, I will not be good.

I have already seen what becomes of those that are good without strength.

[Ddang Sae - Later Lee Bang Ji]

There was a bodyguard that Princess Nogook always had with her.

The princess always had him and Yeon Hyang with her.

His name is Gil Seon Mi.

He is the twin brother of Gil Tae Mi.

I have heard he is often at temple.

Is he really looking for Gil Seon Mi?

Why are we following that child?

Look at the stamp on this letter.

A person with this symbol on him took our mom!

He knows our symbol.

What? What do you mean?

There is another person looking for Gil Seon Mi besides you.

An old man came looking for him about a month ago.

Now he's waiting in the valley down there.

So Gil Seon Mi is not here?

No, he is not. He does come by.

Whether that will be today or tomorrow...

You know this, don't you?

I'm curious as to how you know it.

How do you know this symbol?

My mom... he took my mother.

The man who took her had that tattoo.

You're in the same group, aren't you?

Where is she?

Who is your mother?

Yeon Hyang!

They say she was a palace maid, Yeon Hyang.

Who did you say? Yeon Hyang?

Yes...

Please let me live! Let me live!

Gil Seon Mi...

Did you say Gil Seon Mi?

Are you all right?

Thank you.

You know... you sure do look like Gil Tae Mi.

Besides looking alike, we have nothing else in common.

Even from all the way under this cliff

I can feel Gil Seon Mi's presence.

What did you just say?

I am the son of Yeon Hyang, a palace maid.

How could this be...

Pay close attention to what I'm about to say.

Starting today, and until you die, you must forget about your mother.

You must not even speak the name "Yeon Hyang".

Why is that?

Your mother has committed a great crime against Goryeo.

What?

Because of a mistake your mother made, Princess Nogook passed away.

Do not try to know more, and forget her.

Is she even alive?

I do not know.

If you continue searching for her, you will die.

Your mother will definitely die, and your entire family will suffer as well.

I'm saying that you will all die!

Why? What did I do wrong?

What did my mother do so wrong?

Is that why those people were trying to kill me?

What?

Were they not thieves?

They knew your name and situation?

Yes, they were after me.

I told them my name and situation.

Oh no...

You are already in danger.

I was just trying to find Mother.

Now Mother and Boon Yi could die?

What will I do with this child, Yeon Hyang?

It is hard to tell who is the better swordsman between you and your brother.

I don't think I've seen you before.

Who are you?

I have come from afar to find a student of mine. My name is...

Really?

Since I have shown my skills, I think you ought to believe me.

No?

Of course.

Let me give you a proper greeting, Senior.

My name is Gil Seon Mi.

By any chance, do you know this man?

Who is he?

He is my student.

He came to Goryeo, got into a duel, and died.

So I suspected you and your brother.

But, it wasn't the case.

If it was a proper competition, that's the life of a swordsman.

Why are you chasing him for such a thing?

Ah, I am not seeking revenge.

I am merely curious.

They did not face off many times.

With one draw of the blade, he died silently without even crying out.

They say that's how quick his sword is.

If you are truly the person that you claim to be

I have heard that you return favors, and uphold promises with your life.

Of course.

Why?

I do have an idea who it was that fought your student.

If I tell you who... will you do a favor for me?

Do you really know who it is?

- Do you promise? - Of course.

Tell me. Who is this person?

Cheok Sa Kwang.

Cheok Sa Kwang?

Do you know of the name Cheok Joon Kyung?

Yes, I do.

Though I am from Daeryook, how could a swordsman not know him?

Cheok Joon Kyung's swordsmanship skills were passed down to his children.

Those skills were passed down for four generations to raise up that heir.

That heir, Cheok Sa Kwang, killed your great swordsman and disappeared.

It is a rumor people talk about.

I think there is a high possibility it's true.

Thank you.

What is this favor you were going to request?

Please protect that child.

What do you mean by protect?

Do you mean for today?

Then... for about a month?

Until he is safe...

Just until he grows into an adult.

I can trust in your name, can't I?

Hey, I always keep my promises.

But I'm not going to stay in Goryeo long.

So, we have two options.

First, you can learn the sword from me.

You can protect yourself with it.

I have no interest.

Then how am I supposed to protect you forever?

I have to return within three years.

Goodness, I shouldn't have told him my name.

What kind of child is so hard to communicate with?

He is so difficult for a young child.

Goodness, of all the luck...

Oh, this is not good.

I have to keep my promise.

[Moo Hyool]

Oh yeah!

Troublesome times...

It has been troublesome since the day I was born.

It is still the same.

It is getting worse as time goes by.

That's because of the Mongols, Red Turbans, and Japanese.

Mother and Father left this world because of that chaos.

That's why I've made a decision.

Moo Hyool.

You should learn how to be a swordsman.

Sword?

You've heard about the Gil brothers, have you not?

They had nothing.

With one knife, they can live as if life is as easy as a fart.

- Yes. - That's it right there.

Besides that, there's no way our family of 11 can live in these troublesome times.

But our brother is just strong.

He's not even skilled enough to hold a kitchen knife.

That is why we need that wild boar.

There is something I heard.

[Myo Sang - Moo Hyool's Grandmother] Grab your belongings and gather together.

If you hold back and eat alone, you will have to leave this house!

Master!

Hello, Master!

Master Hong, former best swordsman Hong Ryoon

current best swordsman Gil Tae Mi

and Gil Seon Mi, who is similar to Gil Tae Mi.

I heard you taught them all.

I told people to stop telling everyone.

Who... goodness!

Please make my Moo Hyool like that too.

When he was ten years old, he dragged a bull home by its horns.

I'm someone who wants to live a quiet life.

To teach a student again...

Please accept him.

If you accept him, I will offer up all ten of my family members to you.

Oh my.

This thing here, and this thing here. Who would eat that?

This black thing here, the black bean. Take the black beans.

Thank you, thank you!

They were taken from my little siblings...

Well, if only there was white rice...

Wait, no!

I thought about it, and I cannot.

White rice! White rice...

I understand. I will get it for you.

[Baek]

He will accept you. Just one word.

Just say one word, please.

Then, let us start with bringing water and wood tomorrow and strengthening you.

- Then... - Yes.

[Master Hong] What is your name again?

[Moo Hyool] I am Moo Hyool.

[Yangkwang-do, Leeseo-gun, Deokjinhyun.]

If you disappear suddenly like that, did you think I'd wait forever?

I'm not going to wait. I'm not waiting.

And if Brother.... if he...

If he doesn't come this month, I'll prepare him his funeral rites too.

Boon Yi!

Brother!

Brother!

What took you so long?

You said you'd only look for a little bit.

What took you so long?

Do you know how long I waited?

I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Boon Yi.

I was wrong. I was.

What about Mom? What happened with that?

I think I must have misheard.

She must have passed away.

What did I tell you? Mom is...

They say you should do it on the day your mom left your home.

Good, good. You did the right thing.

Boon Yi?

Yeon Hee.

My brother is back. He's back.

[Yeon Hee]

Your mother will definitely die.

And your entire family will suffer as well.

I'm saying that you will all die!

She is a criminal of Goryeo.

You will all die!

She is a criminal of Goryeo.

Why are you preparing so much food?

What did he do to deserve that?

You sure are cold for a little sister. He's lost so much weight.

Go on and eat.

Yeah, Yeon Hee stole these from her house to feed you.

Thank you.

It's not like that.

I heard you stayed with Boon Yi every day while I was away.

Yes, well...

Thank you so much.

Later, I'll drop by your house and say hello to your parents.

I'll draw water for you every day and bring wood too.

No, there's no need for that.

No, I really am grateful. That's why.

When did you put that egg in there?

For this year's Star Festival, Yeon Hee was chosen to be Vega.

Really?

Have you chosen your Altair?

The person who you will make the clothes for...

Not yet.

Have you finished making Altair's clothes?

No.

I don't like long sleeves, so keep that in mind.

What are you talking about?

I'm the one who will be receiving it.

What do you mean? I've been carrying water since last month.

It's me!

I told you all not to be like this.

Yeon Hee!

- Yeon Hee! - Where are you going?

Yeon Hee!

Where are you going?

Ddang Sae.

Are you thinking about your mom?

Boon Yi thinks you've told her everything.

But I knew you would be here.

Because you have a lot of affection.

I am... a coward.

Honestly, I...

I gave up on my mother.

No, Ddang Sae. You're not a coward.

You did not cause this, and it is not your fault.

It's just a strange world.

For the Star Festival...

if you don't accept the outfit I make...

I don't want to be Vega.

[Do Dang - Highest government institution during latter half of Goryeo]

Look, look, look... look, look, look...

Have you ever seen anyone so shameless?

You are ranked low.

How dare you sit in that chair.

I have moved up to ranking two now.

You think it's enough to have rank?

You're just a lowly Mongol translator.

What did you say?

- Lowly? - Yes, lowly!

If you think it is unfair, you should put up more property.

Do you know how much that seat is worth?

What did you say?

You should all be embarrassed!

[Baek Yoon] The Japanese have invaded Yangkwang-do.

I don't know about the Japanese...

I ought to just...

Stop!

[Choi Young] What are you all doing?

The Japanese have crossed the Yellow Sea and into Yangkwang-do!

As you all know...

we need to send soldiers to Yangkwang-do as soon as we possibly can.

Therefore, who should go this time?

Seungrok Minister, since martial arts and swords are in your lineage

I think it is a great opportunity for you to show your efforts.

Youngrok Minister, people say that your men are well-trained.

I will pass the ball to you.

Looking at the scale of the Japanese, taking both your men will not be enough.

You will both have to send your men.

Wait now, Prime Minister.

My men were sent out when the Japanese were in Naju.

I have 17 men that were injured.

Four months ago, at that very bad battle...

I lost half of my men because they ran away.

So... are you saying you cannot give me your soldiers?

Well, I'm just saying we should be fair.

Fair.

Ah!

Here.

Here is someone who is a skilled fighter, and has great wealth and a number of men.

Right here! Here he is.

- Me? - Yes.

Me?

I had a flood on my land recently.

My household is just getting by.

What's with you!

Oh... right, how about you?

You have lots of land in Yangkwang-do.

That whole area is your base, is it not?

I apologize, but I have nothing to give.

What?

When I entered this place, in order to help the nation do its work

I gave all of my land and men.

Then, those people who received what is mine should be the ones to go.

I gave that up so that it would be used for times like these.

Right? That is what I did, as well.

Ah... you speak such correct words.

The state coffers are empty.

We no longer have any major land to give out as compensation.

There is nothing left at all.

If this does not get resolved... this will be the end of us both.

In-law!

Why don't you have a sale?

A sale?

A war sale.

What do you mean by war sale?

Explain it, In-law.

Whose nation is this?

I am not sure.

Our land?

Goryeo belongs to the people.

Oh, your old habits are coming back.

Those are things that the Sadaebu would say.

This is a war that would protect the people from the Japanese.

Why must the state bear the cost?

If the state no longer has land, you still have land that belongs to the people.

In any region that the Japanese invade

you can give out land that once belonged to the people to those that volunteer men.

Ah...

You will have saved the people from the Japanese, so the justification is there.

If you do that, they will be fighting with each other to give you soldiers.

Use this war to sell off the people's land?

Yes, that is correct.

They will compete to give you soldiers.

And if so, who do you think will make that final decision?

Would you like to meet them first?

[Hong In Bang] This nation was always hopeless.

Give me a chance to serve Goryeo.

Thank you for your words, but many have already offered.

It has become tiresome.

Yes... yes.

If you do choose me, out of the land I receive...

This is how much...

I will give to the Prime Minister to continue the nation's work.

Youngrok Minister who just left offered...

to donate this much.

All right then.

This much. I will add to that.

I will give that.

You are devoted to your nation.

I will tell the Prime Minister.

I believe we can go with Ministers Youngrok, Seungrok, and Kwangrok.

Go ahead.

As always, my in-law, you really are quite amazing.

What do you think?

Continue to help us out in the future.

Yes, I'm sure I will.

Hurry it up, let's go!

Yes, sir.

Hold it like that.

This land belongs to Soon Yi's family.

You will hear later, but this now belongs to the Prime Minister.

What? What do you mean?

What that means is...

It means that you better get on my good side from now on.

What are you doing?

Why you young thing...

Who are you?

Who are you people causing a fuss and putting stakes in the ground?

This land now belongs to Prime Minister Lee In Gyeom.

What?

Why would our land suddenly belong to the Prime Minister?

Hey you.

The Japanese are invading, so the soldiers need to come here.

This is all in order to protect you all and be used for war expenses.

I heard that they invaded the village across from here.

What does that have to do with us?

What? How dare you!

Wow, thank you.

Since when did the government help keep out barbarians? Why put on a show now?

Look here! If we need protecting, we will protect our village.

Get out of here!

Who do you think you are?

Hey! Let's get them!

Run, run, run!

Catch them!

[Yeon Hee]

Wow, it's really luxurious.

Gosh, what do you like about my brother?

Brother! Your clothes are ready for you.

Come outside!

Give it to him for me.

You sure are blessed. You truly are.

Wear it well tomorrow.

What... what happened?

The servants were attacked in the village and got chased out.

- And... - And what?

What do you want from me?

Why are you reporting that to me? You should take care of it!

- I've been too easy on you all. - I apologize.

Take some people there and teach them a lesson.

And don't report these things to me again. I just lost my drinking appetite.

Go!

Oh, look at Yeon Hee.

Let this Star Festival bring peace to all the households.

And let our children flourish.

Let the rainfall come and give us abundance.

Please allow everyone in our village to be safe and sound.

Stamp her forehead.

Do it quickly.

What are you doing?

- Do it quickly! - What are you doing?

Do it quickly!

We should clap.

Let's run away, Yeon Hee. We have to run!

Ddang Sae!

Ddang Sae, Ddang Sae!

You can't get caught!

Ddang Sae! Hurry up!

You can't get caught!

Keep going, keep going! Go!

How do you like that?

You were playing around. Now look at you.

No! No, Dal Bong!

Hey, he said teach them a lesson.

He didn't say to kill people.

Killing them is teaching them a lesson.

No, Dal Bong. You can't go!

Please, Dal Bong.

Oh, oh. There's no need to worry. Don't worry.

As long as you don't fight back, I won't kill you.

Hey, what are you doing?

I get to go first.

Go.

I said go.

I don't even want to see you.

Just go.

If I had stepped in, both Yeon Hee and I would have died.

Dal Bong got stabbed and killed by them too.

You don't know how wicked they are.

You should have died too.

Do you know how much Yeon Hee liked you?

Day and night, all she did was worry about you.

She prayed and prayed for you to return home safely.

But you wore the clothes she made you and stayed hidden?

You should have died too!

You should have died with her, you fool!

What are you going to do now?

Dal Bong!

What is going on?

My baby!

Why are you laying here like this?

These people... how could they do such a thing?

How are they any different than the Japanese or Red Turbans?

They call this a nation?

[Ddang Sae - Later Lee Bang Ji]

Who are you?

Why... why are you doing this?

Who is out there?

Mother, go back. Hurry!

Mother!

Take the children and get out of here! Hurry up!

I cannot do anything.

Oh, I've finally found you.

Child, what are you doing there?

You're not trying to die, are you?

Are you trying to die?

Hey, hey... you cannot do that!

Who says you can?

How dare you dirty my good name?

Don't come any closer. I'm going to die!

You can't do that.

I made a promise to protect you.

That's your problem. What is it to me?

I'm just going to die here!

I couldn't protect anything.

I couldn't protect my mom, and I couldn't protect Yeon Hee.

I'm a half-witted fool who can't do anything!

Then I suppose you won't be able to die either.

Do you think it's that easy?

I guarantee you.

You... cannot die.

Why?

You're a half-witted fool.

I told you, didn't I? You can't die.

Who are you, Grandpa?

Jang Sam Bong.

How strong can I get?

Very, very strong!

[6 Years Later]

[Yi Bang Won] Heo Kang has left.

Everyone has left.

Everyone who was good but weak...

have left.

Fliers?

[Gil Yoo - Gil Tae Mi's son] You have all gone insane, haven't you?

Only the shameless ones remain.

They have won.

Because they have all left... I have lost what strength I had.

I have also lost my path.

I am tired of this.

Enough!

Yes.

I thought this was enough, and I was going to stop.

Should I return to Hamju?

What is that? A person?

Are you Baek Yoon?

I am Baek Yoon.

What business do you have with me?

Baek Yoon...

you are him?

I told you that I am!

Who are you?

That is all I need.

You should have died with her, you fool!

Please let me live.

[Lee Bang Ji]

What did I just see?

What was that?

How could this be?

[Gaegyeong]

[Gaegyeong]

[Yodong - West of Manju]

[Yeojin - East of Manju]

This... this...

This is not a map of Goryeo.

Why is it that you need to kill Baek Yoon?

Goryeo... I'm going to end this country.

Wait for the right moment, and kill Baek Yoon.

Baek Yoon must die in order for this rotten Goryeo to end.

New Joseon.

Who... who made this?

[Third Dragon]

[Yi Bang Won - King Taejong of Joseon]

Sambong, where are you?

Who do I need to kill now?

[Fourth Dragon]

[Lee Bang Ji - Best swordsman of the nation]

Just tell us where you were last night!

Are you saying it was me?

It was a viper. I'm sure of it.

They show up where the Japanese are.

Don't you recognize me? It's your dad.

- What? - You called me your dad.

We farm all day, but all our grains are taken away.

People were injured and died.

We can't do anything.

A horrific thing like that happened in this village?

That is an illegal act.

Breaking the nation's law is not right.

I am going to do something.

If I'm alive, I have to do something.
