[Episode 1]

Jang Dan Bi!

Keep going. What is three times six?

What's three times six?

You have the SATs in two days. What are you going to do?

Why are you carrying around your brain? It's heavy, isn't it?

Jang Dan Bi!

Have you memorized the times table? Can you do it?

How do you think you can solve this, to come up with this value?

Three.

Two.

One.

Yes!

What's with this rain?

Aigoo, my leg.

♪ On your picture I'm holding in my hands ♪

Pythagoras' identity is...

- It's Kim Young Chul.- It's comedian Kim Young Chul!

Aigoo... That's no use.

If you solved math problems with that ability,

Seoul University would have scouted you already.

Your dad was also having problems with math. You got his genes, all right.

What's the use of bearing you with a perfectly functioning body?

Ah, you're always watching historical dramas! Gross!

Since you missed early entry, the SAT is all that is left. Have you decided on a major?

Since you resemble me, you should be smart. Why aren't you trying?

I wonder what you can do to make a living without me.

I can eat well and live well alone, so don't worry.

You would live only watching TV and your phone.

Ah, Mom, you're always watching historical dramas, yourself!

You won't leave me alone!

Exactly what is it that you like?

If you don't have anything you like, perhaps there is something you're good at!

- If I was born in that time period, I probably wouldn't have done math.- Hey, where are you going?

You should tell me where you're going, do you even have a dream?

Hey, Jang Dan Bi!

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up and listen to me!

I'm going crazy because there's not enough time, but even if there's more time, it's not going to change anything.

I wish I could disappear.

It would be nice.

Get into a S.K.Y. university (Korea's Ivy League) and pursue your dream and mine as well.

Shut up. Would they stay still if I told them that I'm going to art school?

They won't even let me eat this.

Hey, and if you're unlucky on SAT day, isn't it over?

Your life is ruined.

How can a person's life depend on just one day?

If I go to a random university, would I get hired in my next life?

Why was I born like this? So useless...

Hey! Is there a hole in your mouth?

I can say I had a nosebleed.

Why don't I ever get nosebleeds?

Hey, my dad's here.

I'm going.

Finally, the 2016 National College Scholastic Aptitude Test day is here.

In the capital area, heavy rain is expected.

Reporter Kang Hee Jin will tell you about the situation of the SAT day morning.

Hey! Dan Bi! Dan Bi!

Hey, hey!

Hey! Dan Bi!

- What is this? - I'm eating this with So Heon. It isn't like you care, anyway.

You know that if you ruin the SATs today, there is no hope.

Just try your best. Okay?

There wasn't a time when I didn't try my best.

This wench. Today is the last day I'm serving you!

It is not like you served me anything.

My daughter, you can do it! Fighting!

You can do a good job! Fighting! Fighting!

Classical Literature

Thank you.

My umbrella?

Perfect score in the SAT Pass the university entrance exam

If not today, there is no hope for life

Pass the test

If you're unlucky on the SAT day, isn't it all over anyway?

You know that if you flunk the SATs today, there is no hope.

2016 SATs Testing Session

Aren't you coming?

Please make me disappear.

Please, just this one time.

Many lives have been lost to the drought.

And everyone has been looking to the sky

wishing for rain to quench their thirst.

We will pay for the King's lack of virtue by burning his robes.

Please forgive him by taking all the fault transferred to his gown and grant us rain.

Powerful demon god.

Powerful demon god!

Please grant us rain.

Please grant us rain.

I told you that it wasn't going to work...

From now on, there will be no rituals for the rain.

Dismiss yourselves.

It is coming.

The heaven nymph (rain) is coming.

Finally, after the three year drought, there will be rain in Joseon!

Are you filming a historical drama?

My phone.

Are you a human or a goblin? Who are you?

M-me?

I'm just a high school senior. (Pronounced as "gosam")

Eunuch? (Pronounced as "gosam")

The word for a high school senior and a eunuch is pronounced the same, as "gosam"

Chief of Eunuchs, is he also a eunuch?

One out of two eunuchs became mad because of the shock and was disqualified,

and it is not uncommon for them to break into the palace out of a grudge.

- Teacher! Teacher, where is this? - Get up there!

What is this all of a sudden...

Blood... Real swords?

Stop it. That is the gift sent to Joseon by the Heavens.

He will save us from the drought in Joseon!

Heaven nymph, please stop the drought.

J-Joseon?

The Heavens, please let rain fall.

Please let rain fall!

Me?

The Heavens, please let rain fall.

Ah, I really hate historical dramas.

Let the rain fall!

Let that happen!

Now that I am here, rain will fall.

Please let rain fall!

Please let rain fall!

He disappeared?

Seriously... What's with this?

This way!

Find him! He ran that way!

Over there!

Let's go.

His Majesty the King is entering!

I will pluck out the eyes and execute the eunuch who insulted me.

I will not only rely on superstition for the important things of Joseon.

From now on, math and science will be used to solve problems.

I'm afraid, Your Majesty,

that math is a trick rather than a science.

It is against our tradition to use math.

Your Majesty.

How could you know the plan of nature from arithmetics?

- Please reconsider. - Please reconsider.

According to the Sung Soo Chung (weather department), the reason behind this drought

is that the sky is mad because the father of the country is not producing his heir.

So please, spend the night with your Queen on the chosen day.

- Please reconsider.- Please reconsider.

Please...

Drought and plague? It is as if the sky (God) is helping us to turn the King into a puppet.

What a relief it is that no rain fell...

What have you been eating?

It's a nosebleed...

You should take care of yourself, especially as the day for intimacy is soon.

Please keep in mind that you need to give birth to a child.

You need to secure your position.

If you don't have a dream, take my dream instead,

my dream of becoming the King of this nation.

You can't even solve Pythagoras' theorem.

There is no one who is good at arithmetics?

I apologize, Your Majesty.

We should try harder not to get played by those old men.

I need to see their intellect with my own eyes.

You know best the real reason why I need arithmetic.

Your Majesty.

How rude! How dare the intern talk to the King.

The water that was gathered is going bad, and the valleys have become dry.

No life can be found in Joseon.

Joseon. The Joseon from history?

It's awesome.

What is this? Then can I return when it rains again?

The last time rain fell was now three years ago.

Three years?

Child from the Heavens?

Unfortunately, I don't believe in things I can't see.

Presumably,

if I don't like what my eyes see,

I need to know the logic and principle of it, no matter how strange it is.

Your topknot is unique, and your clothes are peculiar... Are you from Ming?

Huh?

Oh, my phone...

The rain in this field.

Exactly what is this?

Ah, I think you misunderstood, but I'm just a high school senior.

I think I came from the future through the rain...

The future?

I know it sounds absurd,

but this is not rain, but it's an app that tells you the weather.

You can know the weather from this thing?

What?

I seriously hope it's not broken.

- Where did it go, the rain that was falling here? - I turned it off, so the battery won't go out.

Talk in a way that I can understand!

How about you cut one of his arms off?

Ah, that's right.

Ah! Wait! This is a real sword! Wait, wait!

I-I'm from the future! I know everything! Ask me anything! I-I'm good at history!

J-Joseon? TaeJeongTaeSeMunDanSe? (acronym for the names of the Kings of Joseon) Ah, Teacher!

I am a mathematician, arithmetics!

- Really?- Yes!

Well... Yes!

The sum of the short leg and the long leg is 7, and the difference between the hypotenuse and the short leg leg is 2.

I will give you two days to find the lengths of the short leg, long leg, and hypotenuse.

What's this? I can't read this...

You don't know hanja? (Traditional Chinese characters)

But this...

Pythagoras.

One, three...

How can you write without ink?

Oh, this is a pen.

What am I doing here? I didn't even take the SATs...

Pen?

X is...

Three, four, five.

Three, four, five? How can you solve this so fast when the scholar used three days to solve and still got it wrong?

In the future, if you are a high school senior (pronounced as "gosam"), you can solve this.

You mean, in the future, people voluntarily become eunuchs (pronounced as "gosam") to study arithmetics?

Yes... Well, most people become high school seniors (pronounced as "gosam").

That's very incredible.

All matters are connected to math.

Okay. Eunuch. You have to teach me all your arithmetic skills from now on.

Huh?

Are you being sincere, Teacher?

If you teach me everything truthfully, I will exempt you from the punishments.

Chief of Eunuchs.

Your Majesty.

I think you'll be very useful.

Me?

You can leave when rain comes.

If so, me too.

Deal.

Prepayment.

Change...

I think I've seen this from my history textbook. Is this a rain gauge?

A rain gauge?

Uh... Doesn't this measure the amount of rain?

Drink with that or you can die from thirst.

Wait, the toilet...

Ah, you can do the big one in the yard at the back.

This is the rent money until next month.

Alright. Don't be late from now on.

Noona!

Well, I don't have another place to stay.

These are a eunuch's clothes... Ah, Teacher, why?

A "laugh-eunuch" (a eunuch that makes the King laugh) is a great job.

His Majesty won't laugh no matter what you do. So don't do anything.

Don't even try, you rascal.

But there are so many pretty skirts here...

How long have you been a eunuch? You are still looking for a dress?

If you look like a girl, would His Majesty have you near him?

You need to be thankful that you were born a man in Joseon!

Huh? A man?

Isn't a eunuch a man? He's a man!

Have pride! Have we sinned? A eunuch is still a man!

Straighten up your shoulders! Put your waist down! Gather your hands.

Eunuch?

Eunuch?

I guess it's better to be a man in Joseon.

Uh? This is all Hanja!

I need to know which king he is

to come up with a plan.

Arabian... Arabian...

They have their own characters, too?

Do you really not know numbers?

This man, seriously...

Then forget that and do this problem first.

Hey, teach me that formula first.

What formula?

You have to know the numbers first.

Then, start with this, and

I'll tell you after you take a test.

A test?

I'm famous for not getting any math problems wrong when I was the crown prince.

Do you think I became a king automatically?

Really? Then how about finger flick if you get one wrong?

But, talking about you.

How can you stare at my eyes?

You have no fear.

Well, that...

How can I teach if I don't look at you?

It's been a while since I faced someone like this.

They're always bowing.

You're saying a test? I should loosen up my hands.

Then, should we start?

Please repeat.

Four.

Ugh, let me just eat it! (The rooster that woke her up.)

When will it rain?

I want to go back.

Three plus seven equals...

Ten.

Omo, omo.

Ah, this is mine!

So frustrating...

What are you looking at?

A bomb?

Your Majesty! Aigoo, aigoo...

You... Come in when I call you!

My gosh...

Please reconsider your command.

Please reconsider your command!

Times table, times table.

- Four times nine? - Thirty-six.

Times table.

- Six times three. - Eighteen. Times tables.

- Eight times five. - Err...

Wrong, wrong!

Your Majesty! How do you dare?

Your Majesty, are you okay?

It's alright.

It's alright. This eunuch is surely a guy. I can tell from his hand.

Get out!

Alright, again.

Why aren't you sitting down and playing your woodwind?

Times table.

- Eight times two. - Sixteen.

Sixteen?

You said eight times two!

I said eight times one! Right?

Eight times one.

Come on, baby!

Yes!

Again.

Let's do it slowly.

Times table, times table. One times eight?

- Ten— - One times eight equals ten? I got you!

Come here, come here!

Hey, Your Majesty, this is unfair!

I should've cut your arm off already. Hold on tightly.

- Ahh!- Her Majesty the Queen is entering!

- Hey, hurry!- Oh my!

- Switch.- This.

Her Majesty the Queen is here!

Enter.

I came to visit you because I haven't been able to see you for a while.

I'm worried about your health day and night.

So...

I haven't seen you before.

Yes, Your Highness.

Like you can see, I am very well studying the tunes of Joseon.

I can't believe you actually made this yourself. You have a skillful talent.

Well, let's take a look.

Your Majesty, I have brought the royal meal.

Why are you next to His Majesty?

You became his loyal dog.

The same goes for you.

Please eat.

Everyone please leave.

Well, say ah.

- Ahhh. Bigger.- Ah, ah, ah.

- Ahhh. Bigger. Ahh.- Ah, ah, ah.

How dare the low class dirt spoon (the poor) get tempted by my food?

The people don't have any food to eat, but someone has a gold spoon, meat dishes, and soup!

Hey, low class, I have to be healthy in order to stop the drought.

Low class, you keep on calling me that, but dear Gold Spoon, the taste of the lower class is so much better!

The taste of the lower class? Don't joke around with me.

You want to see?

Where is that kitchen that Jang Geum unni worked in?

How... How can a man come into a place like this?

Ah, give me two minutes. Okay?

Hot water...

Ugh, I hate him.

Yes... This is it!

Give me.

It's delicious, right?

Whoa, perfect. Wow...

This is so nice... I have to admit.

So good, ah.

It's tasty, huh?

It's spicy, isn't it?

It's spicy, but I can eat it.

Aigoo, you eat well. Ohgoo Ohgoo.

Five times nine is forty-five. ("Oh" is five and "goo" is nine.)

Hey...

This is good isn't it?

There is fire in my stomach. Bring the toilet kit, no, call the toilet maid.

Where is that rotten eunuch?

Don't you know Heo Joon? (A court physician in the Joseon dynasty who wrote the defining text on traditional Korean medicine.)

I thought you were casting a spell with the intention of treason.

Hey, look. This is the stomach, and these are the intestines.

This is where you need to digest your food, but this is where you got an upset stomach.

So, just do better. Okay?

How can a king be so weak?

You said math was important and you are now believing in superstition?

How can I trust something when I can't see it?

Look at me. Here, try putting your hand here.

You can feel something beating, right? That is your heart.

I don't know, it does not beat.

How is that possible?

How dare you touch my body...

No, but you can't go forever without knowing it. When there is a person you like and your heart beats,

you know that it is your heart.

Then let me feel yours.

What?

Well, since I'm a high school senior, I know a lot of things, so trust me.

Don't believe in superstitions like that.

You're more...

You're more useful than I thought. Let's go.

♪ What I want you've got but it might be hard to handle ♪

Here, you'll find the heart.

The organs. These are the kidneys. Watch out so they won't be taken away.

This is the brain. Your brain needs to be good so that...

Here are the medical texts.

The intestines, the stomach... We should dissect him but it's too tedious, so let's skip. The esophagus, the brain...

I'm sorry, sorry!

Please bring my clothes.

Oh my goodness, I apologize.

Here are the anatomy books.

- It gets light energy... - Energy?

Oh, strength!

Let's take a picture.

Please smile!

♪ Well you, you make my dreams come true ♪

One, two, three.

Here are the agriculture books.

Distribute the texts to each district, and make them adapt it to the soil.

And, these are tangerines from Tamra (Jeju Island) to award the ones who helped on this project.

♪ You make my dreams come true ♪

♪ You, you, you ♪

Those old men who don't even know math were dumbfounded. Those faces.

Here.

I didn't know you could be this useful.

Oh.

This is something that should be savored for at least four days.

Hey, it's only a tangerine!

Only... What?

This, this brat over here

doesn't know a person's generosity. Do you have a beggar in your stomach? I hate you, Eunuch.

I didn't know a tangerine was so precious.

Ah, whatever. Fine, this is not precious.

You can leave now.

- Leaving. - Ah, wait.

I... I forgot to ask you about this.

So, the left are sufficient conditions

and the right are necessary conditions. Prove it to me before you leave.

Ah, I hate proving things!

Just memorize what there is! Why are you trying to understand it?

Outside will be dark and everything, so be confused and lost on your way back.

By the way, there are countless souls wandering around in the city.

Ah, I really didn't know that a tangerine was so precious in Joseon!

Do you think I'm like this because of a tangerine? Who do you think I am?

Leave now.

Hey, Eunuch.

It's about the tangerine. It is.

Go get it.

Oh, really.

Ha!

Soccer at night? What is this?

There are too many people watching in the afternoon.

How can you not give me a piece of that precious tangerine? You're shameless.

I was right. It was about the tangerine.

What are you doing? Go get the ball.

The goalpost is here, but you didn't even score one goal yet.

You don't even run! What are you doing?

A king has his own image. How can a king run?

You don't have any common sense when it comes to kings.

When I come to think about it, there are so many things kings can't do.

You can't even say what you want, run as you want, because of your subjects.

Can't you run?

Can't you live doing what you want? You're the king.

Come here.

- No, no. - Come here!

No, I don't want to.

Ah, you can't even run anyway.

Do you want to die?

Oh, but see how much you ran.

I don't know when was the last time I ran around like this.

I can't even remember.

But it doesn't feel bad.

Tell me the truth. How dare you deceive me?

Ah... My heart after running... You're talking about the heart, right?

Forget that.

Give it to me.

Oh! This? Here I'll just give it to you.

Never mind. Let's go.

Hey.

I was about to go out incognito.

If you're going the same way, you can join me.

It's been way past my leaving time.

So what? It's my will, I'm the king.

Wait right here. It's an order.

Wait.

I haven't done this alone before.

Here.

Your Majesty, if there is anything you need?

I'm okay.

So.

Let's see.

You can't go forever without knowing it. When there is a person you like and your heart beats,

you know that it is your heart.

If you sleep here, your lips will turn. (Cold temperatures will make your lips turn.)

Even if he tries to be a good king, he is only a man.

I have prepared everything for the night of intimacy.

Have you heard of the powder of a mating snake?(An aphrodisiac)

When ddeukbokki is served, he finishes the whole dish.

So, if the the powder is added to the dish...

Um, how long did you wait yesterday?

Well, a little.

I had so much to do that I forgot the promise.

I couldn't keep my promise.

I won't be able to leave undercover because of all the work I have to do.

That, um, well...

You don't even seem to eat well in your residence.

How about you look for another place?

What?

Whatever.

Let's have class.

If he doesn't come look for you, go to his bedroom yourself.

3.14.

The area is pi times r squared. And if you multiply that by the height?

Are you listening?

Yes.

Yes. Uh, that's very interesting. Did you say it was pi?

Yes. Uh, that's very interesting. Did you say it was pi?

Tell him that I'm here.

The Queen is entering.

I can see why you came here, but please leave since I still have work left.

What are you working so hard for?

Even if there is a drought or disease, does it matter in the palace?

Now he will be burning because of the aphrodisiac.

What are you doing?

Don't act like a good king.

To be honest, you are just fighting for power.

I wish to be a good king, so power is my priority.

So I don't want to lose.

Your Majesty. I'm lonely.

- Look at me.- Pardon me?

How dare I look at your face?

It's okay. Look.

Who isn't lonely in this palace?

So you don't need to force yourself.

So...

Ah, So...

So, ah.

Eunuch! Eunuch, why are you like this?

Why is your face so red? Eunuch, Eunuch!

Eunuch!

Eunuch! Eunuch!

I can't call the royal doctor.

- Eunuch!- Air conditioner...

What?

Eunuch!

Air conditioner...

I had a nightmare. I dreamed about a ghost.

About a ghost.

What are you doing? Ouch!

I dreamed about a ghost.

Be quiet!

I told you to be quiet! What is this?

You're so handsome, but you're so mean. You're making my heart flutter.

Are you filming The Moon Embracing the Sun? Compared with Kim Soo Hyun...

Hey! Keep quiet!

What are you doing?

Eunuch?

Eunuch, hey!

Gold Spoon, you are horrible. I am going to leave as soon as it rains.

Poison! Bring poison so I can give it to him!

Hah, he is worthy of execution.

Hey, do you think I let you be with me because I like it?

I like you a bit.

But I am high schooler and you're a king, you pretty bastard.

I will throw you away if you're useless. Leave when it rains!

When it rains, I'll leave.

Really.

Let's live a comfy life.

Do you really want to die? Did you drink rice wine?

Oh... I don't remember...

Get up quickly. You should leave before the sun rises.

I'll go now.

- Let's go together. - Pardon?

I'll take you there.

When I was a prince, my goal was to become the crown prince, and when I became the crown prince, I thought I could do anything when I became king.

But that's not the end.

The higher you climb, the more you have to tolerate.

I thought Joseon's Gold Spoon was a really comfy spot, but I guess not.

If I fulfill my wish through you, then I will grant you a spot in the office.

Nice house, and yeah a nice horse for you to ride.

No... No thanks. I can't even ride a horse anyway,

and because I will return when it rains again.

Then, should I tell you this now, or not?

Anyway, I'm thankful.

Oh?

To be honest, I can breathe now because of you. Thanks a lot.

Me too... I'm not smart, but I feel good that I can teach someone.

If your head is bad, exactly who has a good head?

Then how about we become friends?

Don't think of me as king, but as a friend—man to man.

Friends?

Okay. I like it, friend.

So you live here. I don't know about a horse,

but I think you'll need a tile-roofed house.

Alright. Then see you tomorrow, friend.

Friend!

I will eat it well.

Noona.

Why are you wearing this? Shhh.

He kept that sky guy next to him?

Even if he has the king's heart, how dare he mock the queen?

Anyway,

he is a criminal you have a warrant for.

We have a reason to execute him.

Take the criminal out.

Bring the criminal!

In the name of Her Majesty the Queen's orders,

his crime will be paid with his death.

Could you explain why you kept such a criminal near you?

Enter.

This is a plate to measure the amount of the rain drops.

Did you make it?

Yes.

It was for drinking, but it was modified under his (Eunuch's) order.

As you can see, that person has great knowledge,

so I kept him by my side instead of a eunuch to come up with a plan for rain.

That person also knows how to measure it.

Your Majesty, what do you mean by measuring rain during a drought? We need to stop the rain calling ceremony now.

How could we let someone who mocked the queen stay alive?

Please reconsider your command.

Please reconsider your command.

Tie him up!

Then, we can't blame nature

and do nothing.

The people don't even have water to drink, but we are eating meat with rice and soup.

So, preparing for rain during drought and using the water from the flood to prepare for drought,

is what we, who eat the rice that the people farm, should do.

If he is so useful to our people.

Then, we should test out his skills first.

Like Your Majesty said, to prepare for the rain after the long drought.

Who are you?

If people could know the time on a cloudy day without sun,

how nice would that be?

Tell the time without sun? In Joseon, the sun is the time.

Wait, doesn't the sun symbolize me, the king?

This is a trap, pretending to test that child.

He is challenging you and your study group.

A fortnight is not enough.

Since he has become useless, you need to throw him away.

I heard he forbade you from entering the court.

I'm not Dong Yi or Dae Jang Geum.

I'm just a eunuch. Do you think they'll really kill me?

Yes.

It's normal to be thrown away after becoming useless.

If you have time to talk to me, just solve the damn problem.

Then... If you help me one more time...

I will do the calculations.

I was using you in the first place, to earn the king's favor.

Let's survive individually.

Oh?

I have a nosebleed.

Unbelievable.

It will earn him enough time.

I believe that he can do it.

I solved it. Wow, I solved it!

It's raining.

When rain falls, you can leave.

I will return when it rains.

I thought you could measure the time with water,

because in the 3rd block, the basket was full of water.

In my life, I have never worked as if my life depended on it.

Because if I couldn't do it even if I tried hard,

then, it would be proving how useless I am.

But, I really did my best this time.

But to be honest, I'm really bad at math.

It's okay.

I also put a lot of effort into it, but

I don't think there is an answer.
