Jong Jong, let us do this.

Yes, my lady.

(Episode 2)

Here we go.

So...

even the woman who is supposed to have 99 tails...

would not be that special.

Is he coming? Is he on the way?

He is coming.

Remember what I said?

It would be dangerous.

You can do it, Jong Jong. You can.

I am counting on you, Jong Jong.

(My Dearest)

Have you heard of the sound...

- of the marvel of Peru blooming? - What are you doing?

What are you doing then? I was helping you.

Who? Me?

When did I ask you to help me?

What?

Was there anyone who was supposed to receive you?

Of course, I...

You are a lucky man.

What? I am a lucky man?

I am the lucky one? Not you?

You got to talk to me for a long time on the first day we met.

You sure are lucky.

Anyway, I do not know where you rolled in from,

but you can hurry up and get lost.

You have used up all your luck.

Should you not at least thank me for...

I am talking here.

You call that fixed?

I am hugely disappointed, young master.

I said it is not fixed properly yet.

I will get it fixed again.

It would not happen again.

Darn it. You should have done a better job.

Do it right, will you?

- Dae Ho. - Gosh.

She is one loud flower, is she not?

Give it to me.

Flower?

Who is the flower?

Who is the marvel of Peru?

Gosh.

My lady.

They must be talking about something boring again.

Let us get back.

I do not like the socks after all.

What?

There she goes.

- I should go and talk to her. - Wait.

Why does she...

look so down?

She was grouchy just a moment ago.

Right. She looks like...

she wants to get slapped in the face and cry.

- What? - Or maybe it is the opposite.

Maybe she wants to slap someone in the face and make that person cry.

What are you saying?

Do you hear yourself?

Look.

It is me.

Why is he so worked up?

Look.

About that lady who lives here.

There are too many ladies in Neunggun-ri.

There is the lady who acts all conceited thinking that she is pretty.

Right. You mean Lady Gil Chae.

That is her.

Wait. Her name is...

- Gil Chae? - Yes.

Yoo Gil Chae.

Lord Yoo Kyo Yeon's daughter.

She has broken many hearts.

Oh, I see.

I suppose you are one of them.

"Oh, I see?"

Hey, you.

"I see?" What do you see?

He has fallen head over heels for Lady Gil Chae.

Clearly,

even Young Master Jang Hyun could not help but fall for her charms.

Why are you laughing?

Why do you keep giggling like that?

What do you mean I could not help but fall for her?

He took care of what he had to do and returned home.

"Oh, my."

"Let me undress you."

Goodness. That old man.

He has to make me cringe every day, does he not?

- Mind your own business. - What?

- The two of them... - Hey.

Stop sewing and go find out what is going on with my application.

They do not want you.

Must you be so stubborn?

You handed in a blank exam paper. Have you no shame?

You said you were embarrassed of me for not attending school!

Also,

did you not hear what that fox said? Gil Chae or whatever her name is.

She said I rolled in out of nowhere...

and told me to hurry up and get lost.

Then I shall settle down in this village.

You will triple the value of dried persimmons and pay us with rice...

in return for accepting him into our school?

Yes.

Such insolence!

The harvest barn may be empty,

but did you truly think we would take a bribe and accept him?

Well... I apologize.

You have too much rice and do not know what to do with it?

It is not like you can throw away the rice.

I suppose...

we should just accept it.

You made a wise decision.

I must ask you.

Why are you so adamant about joining our school?

If you wish to pass the state exam,

there are more reputable schools.

I have no interest in taking the state exam.

However,

I have a favor to ask of you.

What?

Another one?

What did I say?

I told you that he must have an ulterior motive.

You must know Grandpa Song Chu.

This December marks his 60th wedding anniversary.

I wish to organize a party to celebrate his 60th wedding anniversary.

(Hoehonrye: A 60th wedding anniversary party)

All his life, he farmed on plots of land owned by the school,

so would it be okay if the party took place here?

Oh. Of course,

I understand that only noble families host 60th wedding anniversary parties,

so Grandpa Song Chu should not be allowed to do it, but...

Grandpa Song Chu has been married for 60 years already?

I heard his wife was older than him.

Grandma Yi Rang is older than him?

She looks young.

Did you hear the rumors?

Every night, they still...

Stop! That is utter nonsense.

Is that true?

Anyway,

why would you organize the party for him?

Since he works for us,

we should be the ones organizing it.

It is true that only noble families can host wedding anniversary parties, but...

They say...

courtesy comes from affection.

"Courtesy comes from affection?"

Do you not think that this village is filled with the scent of bamboo?

My goodness!

Were you...

waiting for me?

What?

No. I was at the school, taking care of something...

Do not give me that.

How did you know that I would pass by here?

Look.

What is the matter with you?

I...

was not waiting for you.

I was simply going my way.

I was just walking this path,

looking ahead...

Of course, you were.

That is what every man says.

Goodness. You are using an obvious pickup line...

that On Dal the Idiot probably used a thousand years ago.

In any case...

Please excuse me. I have to go.

"On Dal the Idiot?"

"Pickup line?"

Gosh, I am at a loss for words.

I have been at a loss for words all day!

My lady.

I am sorry to say this,

but women cannot enter the school premises...

Do not be so square.

I can never win with you.

Do not do that.

What you did just now.

If you have feelings for me, do not push them aside.

You smiled at me earlier in the day.

I know very well...

what that smile meant.

Yes.

I could not help but smile at the sight of you.

Who would not smile?

Young Master.

You can have...

any man you want.

However,

I am the only one Lady Eun Ae has.

Geun Sam said this to me in the past.

"You can live without me,"

"but Yak Soon cannot live without me."

Then he dumped me and went to Yak Soon.

You know, when men say things like that,

they actually feel...

I had become too complacent.

I know nothing about Young Master Yeon Jun who lived in Hanyang for years.

Think about it.

The scholars at Sungkyunkwan will go on...

to closely assist His Majesty once they pass the exam,

so matchmakers must be eyeing them like hawks.

I need help.

From someone who is worldly-wise...

and well-versed in the sophisticated tastes of the people in Hanyang.

My gosh!

That is absurd!

No way. That cannot happen.

What is the matter?

Even if he is worldly-wise...

and extremely knowledgeable...

and knows a lot about Hanyang,

I cannot accept help from a fool who does not wish to get married.

Look. I swear, I was not waiting for you,

so do not get the wrong idea...

No.

This is Grandpa Song Chu's house.

Were you waiting for me here?

If you wish to spend more time with me,

I shall grant you a chance.

Help me, will you?

Do I have to? Why would I help you?

Because...

I know you are dying to attend the school,

and my father teaches there.

The thing is, I have already been accepted.

I heard you bribed them.

I already know all about it.

If you help me this time,

I will help you too.

Come here.

Please come closer.

I will tell you the topic of the upcoming exam.

Will you truly...

tell me the next exam topic?

Yes, you have my word.

I heard you handed in an empty exam paper.

That is why people call you a fake aristocrat.

But what help do you want to receive from me in return?

Though I was born and raised in Neunggun-ri,

this village does not suit me.

I should live in a place that is more glamorous and great.

Such as...

Hanyang?

So I am curious about life in Hanyang.

I want to know what Hanyang people talk about,

what kind of clothes they wear, and what they like.

Also, what kind of people they find attractive...

and want to date.

But why do you want to receive help from me...

when you think I'm a womanizer?

I had poor judgment.

I thought you were approaching me...

with indecent desires, so I was vigilant.

But I heard you were...

a misogamist or whatever.

- Yes. - Then everything is okay.

Then there is nothing between us.

There is no way we will ever get married,

so we are not a man and a woman.

I mean, I am a woman,

but you do not see me as one.

And you are a man,

but I do not see you as one.

We are just...

a stone...

or weed to each other.

That is why we can help each other without hesitation.

You will help me, right?

- Take care. - Thank you.

- Welcome. - Have a look.

Have a look.

- Please, try one. - We have what you will like.

Welcome.

These days,

it is the trend to wear socks that are smaller than your feet.

I see.

Right. Also,

the daughters of the ministers in Hanyang...

This type of color is...

I knew it. I was thinking it would look good on me.

They hate this color.

They use this type of rouge.

Right.

These are the storybooks most liked by the Hanyang people.

They contain the ambitions and hopes of the people of Hanyang.

- Take a look. - Okay.

"The Story of Woon Yeong?"

It is a written account of what a scholar heard...

after meeting a woman named Woon Yeong in his dream.

His dream?

To be honest,

I also dream a vivid dream sometimes.

Sometimes, the dream feels real.

The man...

What are you doing right now?

What is wrong with you?

Get changed.

We will be going to a place where women of a high class are not allowed.

Let me see. Will this...

fit on you? Here.

Are you telling me to wear a man's clothes?

Do you not want to live in Hanyang?

There.

No.

I said lift it up and then wrap it around.

Like this?

The other way.

- Like this? - No.

Jeez. Come on.

How frustrating.

Sit over here.

Are you still not done?

I am done.

If I were born a man, I would have been quite handsome.

That is right.

Ryang Eum, when are you coming out?

- Hurry up. - Look.

- Hey, look. - It is Ryang Eum.

- It is Ryang Eum. - It is Ryang Eum.

- It is Ryang Eum! - It is Ryang Eum!

- Ryang Eum. - Ryang Eum.

Who is Ryang Eum?

Consider yourself lucky.

You will be hearing the voice of the best singer in Joseon.

You can only hear a voice like his in Hanyang.

Ryang Eum will be making a special appearance today.

But...

you just attend flower festivals in Neunggun-ri.

I am not sure if you will have a discerning ear.

I am looking from afar

At your endearing face

The face that I missed

Was carried

By the distant wind

You are like me

Burying your face in your hands

The moment

I was waiting for

Walk on that path

Even when you waver

In the moonlight

Are you crying?

I keep

Thinking of you

But you turn away

My lingering feelings

Will be dropped

One drop at a time

With the passing of time

This heart that loves you

I will only keep it

In my heart

How beautiful.

He is indeed the best singer.

I love it.

I truly love it.

I have never heard of something this beautiful in my life.

He is indeed the best singer.

Let us get going.

Ryang Eum!

What is that dream about?

What?

You said you sometimes have the most vivid dream.

Well, that is...

It is nothing.

What?

I guess the rumor is true.

You are here alone with me.

And yet you are neither flushing nor stammering.

The rumor goes that you do not believe in marriage...

because you are unable to function as a man.

What?

Is it wrong?

There is no way.

What is so funny?

It is nothing.

Let us go back now.

My lady.

The men you have dated so far...

must be the timid and naive scholars...

who spent their whole lives studying at school.

So one glance from you...

must have made them over the moon.

But my lady,

I am not them.

Well.

You will find out soon enough.

What is wrong?

Do I suddenly look like a man,

not just some weed or rock?

Here. Take this.

Your clothes.

When should I return them to you?

Tomorrow, I leave on a journey to trade persimmons for rice.

It will take a few months.

Then I will see you off tomorrow.

I have to return the clothes anyway.

That sounds good.

What am I thinking?

(Moonlight on pear blossoms, my beloved in my heart)

"My beloved in my heart?"

What is that, My lady?

A lady must have given it to him.

Why would he carelessly place an item like this?

What am I expecting from a man like that?

My Lady.

Yeon Jun is in the reception room.

My lady cannot come.

The young masters have come.

Let us go.

I will submit the appeal as it is.

I will read it.

Look how dashing Yeon Jun is.

What am I thinking when I have him?

At a time when the foreign intruder is proclaiming himself as the emperor,

if we, the nation of propriety, do not take action,

we will be no different from those beasts,

and we will end up losing the trust of our people.

So we implore His Majesty...

to prepare a plan to fight.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, in all eight provinces, there have been numerous petitions...

requesting to confront and fight against the foreign invaders.

What is the purpose of sending an envoy to investigate their intentions?

If we do not send envoys now,

they will use it as an excuse to bring their troops and attack.

All right, then.

We should send a letter, reprimanding them...

for failing to fulfill the promise they made in the Year of Jeongmyo.

Once we lose the trust of the people, it is hard to gain it back.

Do you not know that that is a far graver problem than the foreign intruders?

Your Majesty.

Sending a letter to Great Jin to urge them to keep...

the promise of the Year of Jeongmyo...

will ruin everything.

I am aware. Of course, I know that.

However,

I started the coup to punish Gwanghae...

for being friendly with those outlanders.

So if I try to curry favor with Great Jin now,

how will the young officers and scholars react?

You do not have to listen to everything that the young officers are saying.

Perhaps,

a war with them is unavoidable.

I still vividly remember the pain of having to flee to Ganghwa Island...

ten years ago.

(Pacheon: When a king evacuates the palace and flees during a war)

They want to conquer Anju no matter what.

(Anju: A military strongpoint in Pyongan Province)

Collect the supplies in the storage and distribute them...

among the soldiers.

Then send the rest to the fortress north of the Chongchon River...

so that we can be prepared for their attack.

We have been preparing for another invasion since the Year of Jeongmyo,

so we must count on them.

Even if all fails,

we still have Ganghwa Island.

(Simyang Palace, Qing)

Your Majesty.

The King of Joseon is hiring military officials to prepare for war.

He ordered to tighten security at each fortress...

and to send cannons and food to Ganghwa Island.

They always have nothing to count on but Ganghwa Island.

However, Your Majesty.

Joseon may be a small country, but when it was Goguryeo,

its army managed to fight off Sui's one million soldiers...

and eventually won the seven-year war with Japan.

And that is why we could not go in deep in the Year of Jeongmyo.

I am aware.

Joseon may be small but should not be underestimated.

Hence, we must find a different way this time.

I...

can wait.

I waited until my father finally looked at me and not my seven brothers.

Then after I took the throne,

I waited for my brothers to accept and acknowledge me as their king.

Now,

I can and shall wait until Joseon's rivers freeze.

My patience...

has never once betrayed me.

Do you know how to revive someone who is starving to death?

Feeding them grains first will shock the stomach.

Then they will vomit and actually die.

Hence, you must give them a bowl of poop water first.

Aged poop water.

(Uiju)

When they no longer look so pale,

that is when you give them rice porridge. That is how you revive them.

That scumbag!

He came back to life thanks to my poop.

So how dare he...

report me to steal my business?

So? Are you asking me to spank Kkeut Soe's butt or something?

That will not do.

I will kill him.

- No. - No?

Why not? Why can I not do it?

Have I been paying bribes to get treated like this?

Kkeut Soe pays bribes too. He pays more than you do.

Do you have proof that Kkeut Soe was the one who reported you?

Tsueda said...

You fool.

You believe Tsueda?

Do you look down on me?

Do you think I am still a mere wandering Jurchen?

Ningguchin.

Do not forget.

You are...

only allowed to play in a small puddle of poop that I give you.

You scumbag!

Please leave.

So? Whose side will he take, between Ningguchin and Kkeut Soe?

I do not know.

I will take 100 geun of this.

I will pay you with ten boxes of top-quality persimmons from Neunggun-ri.

Ten boxes of persimmons for a hundred geun of tobacco?

My goodness. That cannot be done. Not even you.

Instead,

I will sell the piles of old tobacco in that room for you.

I heard when you crossed the river to sell tobacco,

they took everything and did not even pay you.

Will you truly sell them for me?

What do you plan to do with all the tobacco?

I will exchange them with the rice I sent to Neunggun-ri.

We have a problem! It is an emergency.

Jang Hyun.

Tsueda has been stabbed.

- My goodness. - Gosh, what do we do?

- Oh, dear. - What happened?

- Goodness. - Who did this?

- Oh, boy. - Is he dead or not?

He is dead.

- My goodness. - I have no idea what happened.

What on earth happened?

- No idea. - My goodness.

Gosh, who are they?

Move!

Boss wants to get to the bottom of this,

so watch what you say today.

- Move! - Make way!

It is nice to see Joseon fools,

Jurchen fools,

and even fools from Tsushima Island in one place after a long time.

So Tsueda is dead.

For people like us, even if we die a sudden death,

we should be grateful if it was painless.

But in Uiju,

there should not be a single stabbing incident I do not know about.

A few days ago, Tsueda sent me a letter,

saying he urgently needed to speak to me.

But...

he died on his way to meet me.

Someone...

killed him to silence him.

I bet it was done by those who are after my business.

You think someone is after your business? How petty.

You siphon off rice collected as tax. You call that a business?

(Segokmi: Rice collected as tax)

To siphon off the rice,

you have to bribe so many government officials...

from bottom to top.

We work very hard to bribe them...

and keep them on our side. All you do is use them.

But you want us out because it is your business?

I knew it!

That is why you reported me!

And you killed Tsueda to silence him!

Do you have evidence?

If one of you...

killed Tsueda,

I will finish you off with my own hands.

We should take care of it before Kkeut Soe beats us to it.

Darn it.

You scumbag.

Darn you.

Do you think you can get away with this?

You little rat!

You know many Joseon swear words.

Let me ask you something.

Do you think the foreign intruders will invade Joseon?

What?

Why are you asking me this?

- Why would you ask me... - What do you think?

I am asking you because you are one of them.

You see, those intruders from Qing...

used to consider Joseon as their elder brother.

But now that they think they have become powerful,

they are vying for a chance to invade their elder brother.

What do you think?

It is just like what you are doing.

What?

You said you would attack Kkeut Soe,

but in reality, you joined hands with him...

and tried to kill Yang Chun. Did you think I would not know that?

But...

after Tsueda,

your middleman, died,

your friendship went down the drain.

- That is what I am saying. - No.

I...

said no.

It was Kkeut Soe's...

idea. Yes.

Do not trust him.

I said no.

It was all his doing!

You punk!

Shut your mouth!

Shut it, you punk!

You look like a webfoot octopus!

I hated you from the start.

You little scum!

You do not deserve to live, you...

Right.

Your henchmen will be here.

What?

Spare me, please.

Please.

Do not worry. I called your henchmen too.

They said they would kill Ningguchin.

Since you two are enemies now,

fight with all your might.

Hey, Gu Jam, they are coming.

Where are you?

(Usimjeong)

Did you not get hurt? You went through a lot.

No, he did not.

He just moved his mouth. He did not do anything...

Where is Yang Chun?

You are here.

Please spare me, Yang Chun.

Please spare me!

Do you know...

how to dance?

Sorry?

"Dance?"

Do you want to be my son?

What do you think...

of being a father and son to each other...

and living here together...

like a family until we die?

You must be getting senile.

Do you not want to?

I do not.

Why not?

Fine.

I will make sure you never leave Uiju!

Look at how ill-tempered he is. Gosh.

Hey.

Do not stop.

Keep dancing.

Have you awoken?

Then...

What are you doing?

Who are you?

My name is Young Rang because I am bright and starry...

like the early morning dew.

Stay still. I know my stuff.

Stop.

Do you want me to strip you?

Do not. Stop.

Go away.

Get away from me.

Hey...

Right.

What did you say...

your name was again?

Young Rang.

Okay. I get that your name is Young Rang.

But why were you trying to take your clothes off here?

What do you mean? I am here to serve you.

"Serve?"

Do you know...

how much everyone fought because they wanted to serve you?

Stop. Do not move.

You should...

come back after...

Wait. How old are you?

I am 15 years old.

Actually, I turned 16,

but I still look like I am 15.

Why I ought to...

- Master. - Master. Over here.

I have to get you.

- We are over here. - Over here.

- Come over here. - Master!

- We are here. - Hey.

Here you are.

Yes, here I am, you old man.

What? You are here.

Get out.

My gosh.

How could you send a little girl to my room?

What? Do you not like her?

Then I will send another girl.

Gosh, you old man.

Do you think I will stay here if you do that?

What?

You are going to leave again?

Last time, you said you would be away for a month,

but you were gone for over a year!

I am old now.

I am old.

Where did the mighty Gu Yang Chun go?

Tell me.

This time,

I really will not be gone for a while.

Gosh. Why is he bringing him along?

Jang Hyun!

Jang Hyun!

Yes.

Is the bright Young Rang here to say goodbye?

Yes.

Do you know how well everyone is treating me...

for spending the night with you?

Is that so?

Then why is there a rumor going around that I am a eunuch?

Ae Ok, that brat.

I told her not to tell anyone.

- Young Rang. - Yes?

Let me make this clear.

I am not...

Not...

I did not leave you there...

because I am whatever you think I am.

Do you feel sorry?

If you feel sorry,

can you do me a favor?

I will do anything.

Until you lose your lanugo,

you better not...

become an official kisaeng.

Why not?

- You are too young... - By any chance,

is it because you want me for yourself?

Then...

will you fix your thing down there?

I told you that is not true.

You are mistaken.

- You got it wrong. - Let us go.

She already found out. There is no need for excuses.

- But... - How lame.

It is not true.

- How am I supposed to know? - Right?

You know it is not true, do you not?

Let go! She thinks it is real!

Just let her think that.

Jang Hyun, I will be waiting for you!

I will wait for you no matter how long it takes!

So you have to fix your disease!

I hope your thing down there works fine next time!

Okay?

It is not true!

I said it is not true!

The weather is so nice.

Since it has been a while now...

I'm so glad that man Tsueda is gone now.

That scoundrel played tricks...

and colluded like a rat,

and innocent people died because of that.

And yet Kkeut Soe gets all worked up...

and denies killing Tsueda.

Gosh, he's a trickster himself now.

Jang Hyun, Kkeut Soe is...

a dumb man who is innately bad at lying.

But could it have been you who ordered him to kill Tsueda?

But why?

Why? Because I am a terrible man myself.

Gosh.

Hold it.

- It's going up. - I am holding it.

- Wait. - That's it.

Move it.

- Take this. - Okay.

Here.

What are you doing?

There.

Look at this.

It's turning out nicely.

I know.

That's right.

Sixty years ago,

I was working in the field,

and when I heard the bride was coming,

I quickly washed my face in the stream and went down.

I did not deserve a bride.

But you see,

from a distance, a girl walked down cheerfully.

A girl looking like a full moon...

came with just one bundle.

I could not bring myself up to speak to her,

so I snatched her bundle and walked.

I did not enter the bride's room,

and I kept on drinking.

People said...

it was because the bride could not speak.

They talked in whispers.

But that was not it.

I am sorry about that.

I was just a lowly farmer.

How did I deserve a beautiful bride like her?

I got her.

I will make her the most beautiful bride in the world.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- Hold on tight. - Let us help you.

- Careful. - My goodness.

Here.

Lastly.

Lee Jang Hyun said he would arrive on time for the 60th wedding anniversary party.

What did I tell you?

You should not trust him too much.

He is here.

The rice is here.

Is that rice?

That is rice, is it not?

It is rice.

It has come.

It arrived.

All right.

Here comes the groom.

Look at the groom.

Welcome.

Here comes the bride.

She is beautiful.

The bride drinks.

The groom drinks...

in return.

- Bless you. - Bless you.

- Live long. - Live long.

- What? - Who is he?

I would like to sing for this precious event.

- He is going to sing. - Who is he?

He is going to sing.

I am looking from afar

At your endearing face

The face that I missed

Was carried

By the distant wind

You are like me

Burying your face in your hands

The moment

I was waiting for

Walk on that path

Even when you waver

In the moonlight

So she had a crush on someone.

Come on.

Today, I will make an offer to Yeon Jun which he cannot turn down.

Turn down...

What?

- I will kiss him. - My goodness!

What if Lord Yoo finds out?

How would Father find out?

So hurry up and fetch Young Master Yeon Jun.

Tell him my face suddenly turned purple, then I fainted.

Hurry, Jong Jong. Go on!

Like this?

No.

Maybe here.

Young Master Yeon Jun.

Young Master Yeon Jun.

My lady! Goodness.

My lady!

Young Master Yeon Jun.

You are covered in sweat.

You should have some water.

- Jong Jong! - No, it is okay.

I was just surprised for a moment.

Jong Jong.

You were surprised?

You are always brave and strong. What happened?

"Brave and strong?"

What are you talking about?

I cannot even harm a fly.

My gosh!

You little... Go away.

How embarrassing.

My lady, I flicked it away.

Are you all right?

Young Master Yeon Jun.

I have been...

trying to feel you out...

without revealing how I truly felt. It must have been frustrating for you.

Now, I wish to tell you.

Yes.

I feel the same way as you do.

What do you mean?

My lady.

I am engaged to Lady Eun Ae.

Who cares about a promise you made when you were little?

That promise is not the reason I am staying by Lady Eun Ae's side.

I...

truly care for her.

Then...

what about those glances...

and the sweet words you said to me?

Did you lead me on to mess with me?

You are my teacher's daughter...

and Lady Eun Ae's favorite friend, so...

So?

You were just being nice to me?

You are lying.

It is all a lie.

I know.

I know that you...

This never happened.

I was the first one.

I fell for you first,

and you and Eun Ae met because of me.

- I loved you first... - Gil Chae!

Gil Chae.

Gil Chae.

I saved you from being made fun of for a thousand years to come.

Gil Chae!

Gil Chae!

I heard she fainted. Where did she go?

Gil Chae!

I wonder where she is.

Lady Gil Chae!

You were eavesdropping?

"Eavesdropping?" No.

How could I not hear that loud love confession?

How rude!

So in short, you loved your friend's fiancé?

It is similar to one of the stories I heard at the market.

A wrongful encounter...

that should have never happened.

Here is the full story.

"I trusted my friend as much as I trusted you."

"Hence, I casually introduced you to my friend."

"After that, the three of us spent time together often."

"We had fun..."

"and hung out together."

So you had a crush on Yeon Jun?

Oh, right.

Was he the man you were waiting for by the swings?

Goodness. I heard there was a fox with 99 tails in Neunggun-ri...

and was excited to see what you could do.

But you cannot even win a man's heart?

Are you...

done talking?

What was I saying?

Right.

A fox...

with 99 tails.

I can keep rambling on until my casket gets closed.

But what I truly wish to say is this.

I do not think you stand a chance with him, so...

Shut your mouth.

So give up false hope and...

I told you to shut your mouth.

Come to me.

Are you proposing to me right now?

What? Nonsense.

You already know...

that I do not believe in marriage...

Right, you do not wish to get married.

Why get married...

and kill the romance in your heart?

Even if you are madly in love,

the excitement and passion quickly fizzle out.

My point is,

why not forget about marriage as it is nothing but a hassle?

How about we passionately...

"Passionately?"

How about we make love to each other?

I do not say this to every woman I meet.

I cannot have a conversation like this with other women.

However,

you are...

gutsy.

I think we can see eye to eye.

Finally, you are showing your true colors.

Are you smitten by me?

Well, since you are a man too,

it is only natural you feel that way.

The moment you first see me, you feel like you can't breathe.

The second time you see me, you feel your heart wanting me.

And the third time, you become lovesick.

So you'd cry your eyes out like a kid and get all clingy.

That is...

the truth behind the mysterious disease that has affected every man in this town.

It begins when you fall for me.

But you know what?

I...

hate your guts.

You hate me?

That much?

Yes, I hate you.

I suppose you have broken many women's hearts...

while living a hedonistic lifestyle.

But I will not fall for your tricks,

so have fun for just a few more days and leave.

- Do not wreak havoc on my village. - Wait, stop.

Why not me?

You want to know?

Are you sure you can handle what I am about to say?

You converse with foreign intruders, which is wrong.

You purposely mislead your elders with your sweet words.

I caught you eavesdropping on me hiding like a little rat.

You dared to grab a woman's wrist...

and rudely bothered her.

You stole women's hearts...

and ran away like a loser. But what?

You do not believe in marriage?

Is that so?

And most importantly,

I do not like that face of yours.

You are ugly.

Darling, my husband

Darling, my husband

My darling

Darling, my husband

- She is here. - Love

My love

It is love

It is definitely love

It is surely love

Goodness, it is love

Moon, bright moon

No matter how busy you are

They...

were talking behind my back again.

What did they say this time?

They said you would end up...

(Kyohyung: death by hanging)

like Uhwudong who was executed for committing adultery.

(Uhwudong: a woman from the Joseon dynasty...)

(who was executed for committing adultery)

They are so mean.

I wish I was like Uhwudong...

and had more room in my heart for other men.

I just want to...

give my unchanging love to a person who is unchanging.

Are you saying Young Master Yeon Jun is unchanging?

Yes.

Young Master Yeon Jun does not change.

Men have no fidelity or discipline,

so they are always looking for prettier flowers,

but Young Master Yeon Jun is different.

With the person I love,

I just want to go see flowers in the spring,

dip my feet with him in a stream in the summer,

and in the winter, I want to drink the wine that we made in the fall.

I just want to grow old with the person I love.

Is that the life that you want to live?

Do not make tomorrow come

Do not grow old

And stay like this

For a hundred years

It is love, my love

Goodness, my love

They say a couple will grow old together if it snows on their wedding day.

May the both of you live long and prosper.

- Live long and prosper! - Live long and prosper!

- Live long and prosper! - Live long and prosper!

Disguise yourselves as tradesmen,

and ride with all your might...

to besiege the palace where the king of Joseon is.

Do not waste your time fighting each fortress in Joseon.

You must enter Hanyang...

before the Joseon king flees to Ganghwa,

and wait.

The foreign intruders are here!

The intruders...

The foreign intruders are here!

They...

took His Majesty captive!

- What did he say? - What is he saying?

What is he saying?

- What is he saying? - What is going on?

Is he saying the truth?

- What is going on? - What is going on?

Are you being serious?

(My Dearest)

The people of Joseon, let us save His Majesty!

Those with a burning heart, come forward!

I will go! Is there no one else?

I can help.

He could die.

We have to stop them.

Stop the army from fighting.

My lady,

The country is being invaded and the king is being held captive.

If you step onto the battlefield, the violent intruders will...

Then if I am lucky enough to come back alive,

allow me to kiss your precious lips.
