(The contents may be different from the actual events.)

Let us not meet ever again.

Farewell.

- Spare me. - Please spare me.

Sir.

(Episode 5)

- All right. - There.

- Pull it. - Goodness.

- All right. - Gosh.

- Take this. - Okay.

Gosh. Where is he?

Are you sure he boarded this ship?

That is him!

Let us get him.

- Hey, Nak Cheon! - Hey, Nak Cheon!

Welcome to Hanyang.

I missed you!

I do not believe...

this is him.

I heard he died and came back to life.

Is this his reincarnation?

He looks rejuvenated.

- Who are you? - Where is Nak Cheon?

Hey, are you the famous Seo Noh?

Gosh.

(Dongjeokjeon)

- Come here. - I did not know, sir.

- How dare you? - Please spare me, sir.

- Come here. - Please.

- Follow me. - Please, sir.

Goodness. Spare me, sir.

- How dare you trespass? - Spare me, sir.

Please.

Halt.

Did you not see the man who was taken away?

This is His Majesty's hunting ground.

You may not go this way, so leave.

Darn.

Will you disobey the royal command?

I would not dare, sir.

Goodness, my legs are giving me a hard time.

Why did I come this way?

The King's land?

Yung's land?

Yung, I will tear your world apart.

I will take...

your throne.

(Year 10 of King Yeonsan)

Your Majesty.

We do not have the black ramie, amphibole, and fan.

What happened?

I told you to prepare them by today.

My apologies, Your Majesty.

Since it is the rainy season,

the ship with all the goods...

has not yet arrived in Hanyang.

Then you should have...

prepared them ahead of season.

It could not have been done...

since it is a busy, spring poverty season for farmers.

Is it...

also...

a busy, spring poverty season...

for you too?

There.

You wear it.

I have worn it for too long.

Your Majesty.

Please withdraw your robe from me.

It has been a long time since I saw you last.

Here is a gift for you.

I hear your granddaughter is...

getting married next month.

Thank you for remembering, Your Majesty.

Let us give him this.

There. This is a wedding gift.

Thank you for your boundless generosity.

Thank you, thank you!

Do not just say it.

If you are so grateful, show it.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

I believe his illness has come back.

I wonder how long it will be this time.

Chief Royal Secretary.

Is there something you would like to say to us?

What shall we do to make the King satisfied?

I would like to hear your opinion.

As always,

he will return to his normal self.

Where?

Move... Get out.

- Get out of my way! - Goodness.

- Get out. - Gosh.

Let go. Let me go!

Let me go! Let go.

Let me go!

(Dethroned Queen Yoon)

You are to be the King.

You must always dress properly.

Your Majesty's mother...

did not die of an illness.

She was killed, Your Majesty.

Goodness.

- Let us go. - Quickly.

Come on, quickly.

Faster.

- Goodness. - Don't push.

- Sir! - Goodness.

- Over here! - Please look at me!

- Here. - Look at me.

Here!

- Over here! - Please look at me!

- He has to see me. - Goodness.

- Sir. - Gosh.

Master!

Hey, stop.

- Master. - Master.

I doubt it. I am probably mistaken.

Your Majesty.

- There he is. - He is over there.

There is the man.

- Master. - Master.

- Master. - Wait for us.

Master.

Master.

- Master, stop. - Stop right there.

- Master. - Master.

- There goes the man. - Master.

- Master. - Master.

You can't go!

Master.

- Master. - Master.

Your Majesty.

Who are you?

How do you know who I am?

It is me.

Chae Gyung.

- Exactly. - Come again.

- We will take two bowls of rice soup. - Okay.

- Hello. - Take a seat.

My goodness.

- How have you been? - Let us sit over here.

Excuse me.

Is this normal? Whenever I am in Hanyang, why do I...

always see you on the streets and not in the palace?

It just means you always come to Hanyang...

whenever I come out in disguise.

What are those on your face?

Oh, these?

I am going to start a rumor that I am ugly.

I do not wish to get married.

You do not have to try.

It already looks like it will take you a while.

Then why did you not recognize...

such an ugly face at once?

You are way too ugly.

Fine, then.

My brother, since you adore me that much,

I will escort you well today.

You do not know what I am up to.

Why do you think so? I know.

Should we bet?

You must risk your life to do that.

I do not dare to bring it up without knowing that.

Do what you would like. However,

stop calling me your brother.

Wait for me, Yung.

He was rebuked by the Queen Dowager a while ago.

Why is he still sulking?

If you continue to be like this,

I am not going to give you this.

Hey, that is...

You hurt me. You owe me an apology.

Is every guy in Hanyang like you?

Everything is cheap. Get your dried yellow corvina.

Excuse me, young lady. Get some dried yellow corvina.

Goodness, fine. I will give it to you for two yang.

Which rice cake do you like? The one with honey?

Two yang.

- Two yang? - This is a great product.

There is a scratch.

I will give you one yang.

- There is no scratch here. - Right there.

- This is... - Do you see this?

Just go, then. I used to sell this for three.

Goodness, thank you.

Hurry up and give it to me.

Stop right there!

Unbelievable.

I will give you a discount.

How does one yang sound?

Right, should we get some dates?

Wow, this is huge.

This is like your face.

What is it?

I was wondering if there is gold on your face.

What is it?

Just because. I was copying you.

Excuse me, I heard I can exchange things for rice.

Anyway, what can I give you to get rice?

I only brought a spoon and a pair of chopsticks.

I do not need any things.

We only take information.

First, tell me your name and affiliation.

We need different information from each person.

The amount of rice changes too.

I am just a servant for a noble family.

You are more than qualified.

Now, come in.

Come in. Come.

In that room, please.

Which family do you work for?

What is your position?

("The City's Secret Life")

I am a servant for Master Yun.

The Yun family.

Excuse me, master. How can this be so easy?

Then do you want me to make it difficult?

No, I am thankful, that is all.

Goodness.

Thank you, master.

Thank you for the information.

I will bring all of the servants in this town.

Thank you, thank you.

Wait outside.

- Go. - Right. I'll go.

By any chance,

is she the one who said she would come today?

I think so.

She is beautiful.

I apologize for the belated introduction. I am...

Let the introduction wait until we go inside.

Your customer may come.

How did she know about that?

I have no idea.

Who are you?

She acts like she owns this place.

My lady.

I have heard a lot about you,

but this is our first time meeting in person.

Let us be courteous.

I do not understand why Joseon men are...

so concerned about being courteous.

Do you not know who I am?

You are very beautiful...

We did not expect you to be so...

- unruly. - Unruly.

I am Seo Noh.

Gosh.

My lady.

I am only paying him back.

Nak Cheon almost died because of him.

He went through something that was worse than dying.

A slap is...

nothing compared to that.

You must pay him back even if it means your death.

I will...

keep that in mind.

I believe the greetings are over now.

My introduction is done as well.

By the way,

where is Nak Cheon?

The King's order? Is this the King's order?

Yung, I will no longer obey your Joseon.

Give me some rice soup.

The tavern is closed today.

Let us go someplace else.

You may use the kitchen and everything,

but do not break anything.

Okay.

Yung.

This reminds me of the first time meeting you.

Can we trust the tavern owner this time?

Who cares if she is a robber?

I will save you again...

and make a wish.

You are strong.

Yung, open the door.

Goodness.

(Memorial Tablet of Dethroned Queen Yoon)

If she is your mother,

she is my mother too.

(Memorial Tablet of Prince Jing Seong)

Just as my mother's death was not my fault,

Yeok's death was not your fault.

Do not reproach yourself. Resent him instead...

for leaving this world so soon.

Resent him...

for leaving you behind.

Do you...

resent your mother?

You simply...

miss her, do you not?

Did you hear?

His Majesty...

misses you.

Yeok.

Chae Gyung misses you.

Good.

We each said what we are embarrassed to say.

Having a family is great, is it not?

To me, a family is...

like a ball of fire.

I cannot swallow it nor can I spit it out.

It haunts me tenaciously.

I ran away from them for all my life.

And now...

I am hiding from them to hold a memorial service.

You can become a sage king.

A sage king?

Yes.

If you become a sage king,

you will be confident in front of the late King's tomb.

There will come a day when you will take out...

your mother's tablet in front of all the officials...

to proudly hold a memorial service for her.

The late Prince will be...

proud of you as well.

Do you remember this?

- This is... - Yes.

The Prince bought this for you.

People say a lizard is a dragon of the rivers.

It is in charge of rain.

But the lizard went crazy and started a huge flood...

Stop laughing and show them your power.

To become a sage king, you must control the sky.

Right?

Prince.

Prince.

You are not it.

You are not a ghost. You are a person.

I thought...

Wait.

- Did you... - No.

You do not even know what I was about to ask.

Have you had dinner?

People say we must share food from memorial services.

Do you have to go?

Can you not go?

It is all right. Have some.

Today is the anniversary of my beloved's death.

You look a lot like him.

I would not mind even if he was a ghost.

Why will he not visit me?

I will not be surprised even if you are a ghost.

If you are here, will you talk to me?

Can you at least tell me you are here?

Do not insult the dead.

I do not think he died...

for you two to just feel nostalgic.

How can you say that?

To just feel nostalgic? An insult?

What do you know?

Then what do you know?

The heart of the dead?

His pain? His agony?

What do you know?

What is going on?

My wife.

You should be faithful to your new lover.

Stop being improper...

by associating with just anyone.

Still, you cannot call me your wife.

How will I ever get married?

You said you do not wish to be married...

just a few hours ago.

There is a difference between cannot and will not.

Are you finished?

I cannot eat these.

These will make me sick.

Who else?

Is there anyone else who cannot eat these?

I am not sure.

Yeok used to pick these out...

when he tried to copy everything that I do.

Nak Cheon?

Myong Hye.

Why? Is someone after you?

Right.

No.

This must have become a habit.

Chae Gyung.

What is it?

It is nothing.

(Pawnshop)

The five siblings are finally together. Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Who says we are the five siblings?

We are all different in our class, gender,

and even in character.

Look with your heart.

Do you have eyes on your heart?

Then think of these two dark spots...

as your eyes.

Mine are pink.

Gwang Oh, you do not look like it,

but you are very perverted.

Hey, bring back my obscene picture books.

- What is with you? - Are they in here?

All right, settle down. Let us grab a drink.

Gosh, this is great.

What is with your finger?

It is nothing.

Let me see it.

Do not forget.

Your body is mine.

You saved my life, but you do not own me.

Let us drink.

Chae Gyung.

My goodness.

You!

Where were you and what did you do until now?

What did you do that made you...

sneak away from your nanny?

Mother.

I thought something had happened to you.

What could happen to me?

You always make trouble around this time of the year.

That is why she is upset.

Forgive me.

All is well if you are okay.

Father.

Are you all right?

Good.

Get me a broom.

Madam, leave it to me.

Come here.

- Madam. - Out of my way.

- Get out of here. - Come back!

Get her!

- Please, stop, ma'am. - Bring her here.

I do not mind wherever you go...

as long as you take me with you.

Each time you do this,

I feel like my life is shortening.

I wonder if this is why I became a nanny.

What is that?

Traces left by a ghost.

A ghost?

Yes.

I...

decided to believe in ghosts.

That is the only explanation.

This...

And this.

Here.

Do you feel it?

Yes.

My lady.

Before it is too late...

get married.

Your breasts sag before anything does.

- Where have your breasts gone? - Nanny.

Mine are still plump.

Where are you going now?

What a brat.

She is unbelievable.

I am in my peak.

Yeok used to pick these out...

when he tried to copy everything that I do.

He should have died a long ago.

You fool.

What are you fighting for?

Why are you clinging to life with clenched fists?

Leave it all behind.

Guilt and resentment will do you no good.

I... I cannot die.

Save... Please save me.

I will live and become...

become...

become the king.

I will become the king.

No...

Nak Cheon.

Nak Cheon.

I cannot breathe.

Grandpa. Help me.

I cannot walk.

My legs are too weak.

I cannot walk. My legs are too weak.

I cannot walk.

No. No. Never!

I will not die. I will not die!

Save me.

Save me, Chae Gyung.

I will return. I promise.

Wait for me.

Wait, Chae Gyung.

I want to know about Shin Chae Gyung.

And after this day,

I do not...

wish to hear her name again.

I can tell you about her.

But it will be difficult to erase...

Lady Chae Gyung completely.

I know you helped...

to cure him and make him walk again.

But your care alone is not...

what revived him.

He must have something that runs deeper.

No.

Desire is what keeps a person going.

He is fueled by...

resentment for the King.

Do not think you can...

manipulate Nak Cheon with love and yearning.

If you try,

I will kill you.

So it was them?

I do not know where they came from.

Only I and a few of my men managed to swim to safety.

They took everything we had.

You have 10 days.

Recover the shipment or bring me their heads.

If you do not,

you and your family will have to give up yours.

I understand.

You must...

speak with the King...

and ask him to write a message.

Will you demand another collection from the people?

The King's private coffers are not very full...

and you need a new hair accessory.

We must contact Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Tamra...

and have them send another batch of produce.

I am concerned about the food I should serve at...

my grandson's first birthday party.

Your Majesty, the Chief Royal Secretary said...

A large flood...

hit the three southern provinces.

Yes.

The ship carrying the produce and gifts for you sank.

You should write a message for...

Do you know what caused the flood?

It is because the lizard went crazy.

That is why.

I shall hold an assembly tomorrow.

If you become a sage king,

you will be confident in front of the late King's tomb.

There will come a day when you will take out...

your mother's tablet in front of all the officials...

to proudly hold a memorial service for her.

- Welcome, Your Majesty. - Welcome, Your Majesty.

Bow four times to the King.

Bow.

Rise.

Bow.

Rise.

Each minister...

may recite their reports in turn.

This report is from Uijangbu.

The recent floods...

- Lord Sung. - are very severe.

- Send an investigator... - This was so sudden.

to look over your people.

Did you bring a gift?

I had no time to.

My lords.

The recent floods...

ruined the rice crops and injured people.

I also heard that as many as 400 houses were buried,

destroyed, and washed away.

Count those who were crushed to death or drowned,

and take into account those who lost their houses.

Do what you can, so they no longer have to suffer.

- Thank you for your... - Thank you for your...

- boundless generosity. - boundless generosity.

Lord Sung, what has gotten into him?

I apologize for the heat.

Please do not.

Why is he acting out of character?

The ministers seemed very surprised and perplexed.

He had been spending time away from the palace...

and was not at all interested in politics.

Your Highness.

What is it?

Lord Park's niece Lady Yoon...

requests an audience with you.

That must be Myong Hye.

Let her in.

Welcome, future daughter-in-law.

Greetings, Your Highness.

How is Yeok doing?

Is he well?

He is very well.

Why did he send you to the palace?

He was so careful.

He boarded a government ship from the south...

and it carried a shipment for the King, Lady Jang,

and Chief Royal Secretary.

He and his men stole the shipment and sent me...

to see how the Chief Royal Secretary reacted.

He should not cause trouble so soon after his return.

Do not worry, Your Highness.

Most of the shipments are bribes from officials.

The Chief Royal Secretary will not investigate openly.

The King sent officials to comfort the suffering,

so no one will be able to complain about lost gifts.

He sent officials?

I do not know where he got the idea,

but he trying to be a sage king.

Yung, I really do respect you.

Mapo, Gwacheon, Pocheon, Gimpo.

My goodness.

You own half of Gyeonggi Province.

You own all the waterways...

and forbid the commoners from fishing.

Why do you visit kisaeng parlors so often?

What is going on? My wife.

The inn by the three-way.

The King and Shin Chae Gyung.

Is this the place?

Yes.

The innkeeper I met said...

they pay a measure of rice even for meager information.

That means they must know a lot.

Even if they knew a lot of things,

would they know about a ghost too?

I just have to ask and see.

You can wait here.

I should not be doing this. My lady.

In case you see a ghost. Light it up.

You give rice for information.

Will you give me information for rice?

What?

I want to know something. Let me meet your master.

He is not in.

I just want to have one glance.

- You cannot. - Come on.

What... What are you doing?

Very well. I will not look.

Sit back down. I have a long story to tell.

Are you...

the owner of the pawnshop?

I am.

Is it true that you know everything...

that goes on in the capital?

What do you want to know?

Can you...

find a ghost for me?

A ghost?

I would not mind even if he was a ghost.

Why will he not visit me?

No, a person.

A person?

No, a ghost.

Make up your mind. Is it a ghost or a person?

How can I make up my mind?

I do not know if I fell for a ghost or a person.

Could a haunted person...

be able to think properly?

She is looking for me.

It is a man you are looking for.

Yes. That much is a relief.

I think so too.

I am glad the ghost chose to come in a man's body.

Did you just laugh?

No, I did not laugh.

I breathe loudly.

Continue with your story.

So, what happened was...

A few days ago, I was at the inn by the three-way.

I happened to be there.

I met the man coming out of the next room.

He looked exactly like my friend who had died...

when we were both younger.

His eyes, lips, voice,

even habits, they were all his.

Of course, I have not yet seen him grown up,

but he looked like what I imagined...

Are you listening to me?

Excuse me, procurer.

What? What did you just call me?

An owner of a pawnshop...

Wait.

You are...

It is happening again.

Do not listen.

What are you doing?

Get out of here.

What do you think you are doing here?

I told you already.

I am haunted by a ghost.

By you.

I do not care.

Get lost.

Why do you look like him?

Why do you have to look like him?

Who are you really?

You are the Prince, right?

No.

Then...

why do I keep noticing you?

Why do you make my heart pound?

Is that my fault?

It is your fault for being so crass.

A married woman comes here in search for another man?

You jump into any man's arms...

and say your heart is pounding.

- Go. - That hurt.

Go. Get out of here.

You are a ghost.

No human could be like this.

You are a ghost. Now disappear.

- Get out! - What are you doing?

Is this what you want?

Is this how girls find husbands these days?

Is it your strategy to blame a ghost...

to flirt with any man?

Let go before you regret this.

Regrets are for humans.

Ghosts have no regrets.

(Queen for Seven Days)

Am I that charming?

For a lady of noble blood to throw herself at me?

Do you need special action?

I did something I should not have done.

While I lived in fury and agony,

she got close to...

my brother of all people!

I met someone who looks like your brother.

He looked so alike.

I must see him for myself.

If you cannot get over her,

I will take action.

Must I resort to cowardice...

to get someone like you?

The Prince Jin Seong who liked you is gone.

I do not know why I cannot stop crying.
