THE TALE OF LADY OK

If you stop now,
I will forgive you for this insolence.

How dare you threaten a magistrate.

Look here. Take her to the office.

Let go. Let go of me!

No!

Let go.

Oh, my. How could they?

- My lady!
- Let go!

Let go of her!
How dare you treat her like so!

- My lady!
- Do not worry, Mi-ryeong.

Please do not do this.

Kkeut-dong, tell the inspector.

Take me instead! Arrest me!

Mak-sim. Are you all right, Mak-sim?

- Let go!
- My lady.

Mak-sim!

Let go!

Oh, no.

How could you do something so atrocious?
What were you thinking?

How is it that a leader of a village

is acting like some scoundrels?

So why

did you dare to defy me
in front of the people?

It is not like your order is
the king's royal order.

Do you think there is a law
against hurting the magistrate's feelings?

What?

You damaged one's property
and set it on fire.

You used force
to arrest an innocent person.

There is a law against someone who uses

one's power without proper grounds.

My intention is to restore order
in Cheongsu County

by punishing the person
who disturbed moral laws.

According to the common law,

you have committed
a crime based on principles.

Crime based on principles?

You abandoned your duty as a wife.

I did not abandon

my duty even for a moment!

If you keep insisting upon this,

I must lock you up
until you admit to your crime.

Show me the examination report
on the body.

You dare ask to see an official document?

Do you not know

that the report
must be presented to the family?

You said it was examined twice.

Was that a lie?

You had better watch what you say.

In order to get the Memorial Gate
by making me a widow,

you did not…

commit murder, did you?

Lock her up this instant.

He arrested a reputable noblewoman
like an animal in broad daylight.

He even set fire
to the legal advocate office.

Are you going to do nothing?

Oh, my. I missed some fun entertainment.

You must protest to the magistrate now.

You must not let him rule over nobility!

Yuhyangso must watch out
for corrupt leaders!

At our last meeting,

we agreed to go along
with the magistrate's decisions.

What?

She neglected her husband's body

and refused to hold a funeral
and mourn for three years. How unvirtuous.

Yes, I agree.

If you do not find a solution quickly,

I will let everyone know that

your wife and Lady Song brought
the abductors to Cheongsu County.

Go ahead.

- My lady.
- You cannot.

That is why you made me copy
the instructions for women.

Am I wrong?

Oh, my. It is so filthy
that you cannot even sit.

If you swear to collect that body,
mourn for three years,

stay home, and remain a widow
for the rest of your life,

I will let you out.

Since it has come to this…

you had better hope that I die in prison.

That is not a bad idea either.

If a woman goes mad because she cannot
accept her husband's death

and cries herself to death in prison,

we would get a Memorial Gate
and some more.

I knew Lady Song could
not have done it by herself,

but now I know clearly

that you are involved too, Magistrate.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

And seeing how reckless you are,

you must have someone pretty powerful
that is backing you as well.

No one will come
to save you no matter what you say.

Do not worry about me.

You had better worry about
your own safety, Magistrate.

Do not let her meet anyone.

Do not even give her a sip of water.

Yes, my lord.

Let us see how long you last.

Why is the magistrate so hell-bent
on giving Lady Ok such a hard time?

- Kkeut-dong.
- My lady.

What happened? Did you see the inspector?

He has gone to Hanyang, my lady.

I heard that since he caught
all the abductors,

the investigation and inspection are over.

Then, why did you not
go see the provincial governor?

Of course, I did.

The gate guards stopped me,
so I could not do anything.

What happened? Did they beat you?

Let me step out for a bit.

It is too late, though.

How could this be?

Mi-ryeong.

It is me, your mother.

You are my Mi-ryeong, right?

You have grown into a beautiful woman.

What is she saying? Are those two…

Mother and daughter?

Mi-ryeong.

Your brother is dead.

Do-gwang could not

endure the exile and passed away.

I had nothing and nowhere to go,
so I went to your father's family

and heard you had married
into this family.

I was so surprised.

Let us go inside and catch up.

It is not right
to keep your mother standing

when you have not seen her in so long.

I am hungry after a long journey.
Bring me some snacks.

Oh, my goodness. Are you all right?

I am so flustered
that I do not know what to do first.

Should we not beat her up?

Should we not cast her out?

My gosh. Just stay put.

She is still Lady Mi-ryeong's mother.

She is here to seek revenge.

Right? I am right, am I not?

We must let her know.

We must let Lady Ok know
that the two are mother and daughter.

Your servants seem to know nothing.

I guess Ok Tae-young decided to hide
your wrongdoing and keep it a secret?

She kept your wrongdoing a secret as well.

How brazen you are.

Living happily in this house
after you betrayed me. How could you?

You are worse than a beast.

Was the abduction not enough?

Were you also behind the closing down
of the legal advocate's office

and locking Lady Ok up?

You intentionally married him.

You passed on everything
you have eavesdropped in this house.

You placed an effigy doll yourself.

And you took part in making
Ok Tae-young a widow.

But now you call her your sister-in-law?

What a sight it is to see you
treat her like your own sister.

You lied to me, Mother.

You said that she framed Do-gwang.

How dare you
raise your voice to your mother!

Have you

ever considered me your child,
even for a moment?

You came to me
simply to use me for your revenge.

So what? Do you want to cut ties
with your own mother now?

Did you hear everything?

They say ill-fated relationships
are still fate.

Who knew that I would
become your mistress?

The mistress of this house is Lady Ok.

Go back to Uichang County
after you are done.

How can you be so cruel to your mother?

What would people say if you stayed here

but cast your mother out
to that harsh and cold place?

As soon as the day breaks…

My lady.

I will leave with her.

Leave?

This house will be abandoned if we leave.

You know,
I understand how you feel, my lady.

Even though it has been seven years…

since I lost my child
whom I dearly cherished,

she still appears before me every day

and calls me, "Mom, Mom."

It is only natural for one to want to kill
the person that got their child to die.

Of course.

So?

But…

it is not like our dead children
can come back.

How dare you compare
your lowly daughter with my son!

- Stop it!
- It is all right. Hit me.

You may hit me until you are satisfied.

You wench!

Are you all right?

Oh, my. You are burning up, my lady.

How can you act as the mistress
when you are so weak?

Do not worry and get some rest.

I will take care of this household.

I will use the main room from now on.

Do you think I am afraid of you?

I am Goo-deok.

Oh, my!

Bring the breakfast again.

How dare you serve rotten food?

You, clean this up right now
and bring the breakfast again.

You, clean the hall
and polish the lattice one by one.

You, wash all the side plates
in the kitchen

and wash and dry
all the beddings in this house.

Yes, my lady.

Oh, my. You want us to do all of that?

A new family member joined,
so of course you must.

It feels unpleasant to use them.

Oh, pull out all the plants
in the back garden.

You want us to pull out the aloe?

Please, do not make us do that.

Would you like me
to pull out your eyeballs instead?

Of course, we must do it.
I will pull them all out, my lady.

If you disobey my orders,

I will put a brand on all of your faces.

My goodness.

I sent someone to fetch the physician,
so he will be here soon.

I made some porridge. Please have some.

My goodness.

At least have a bite.

You are not with child, are you?

Tell no one.

Yes, my lady.

Oh, my. It is so colorful
and carefully crafted.

But why are you giving me
something so precious?

It is to show appreciation
for your support until now.

Anyway, congratulations.

We did not get the Memorial Gate,
but you accomplished what you wanted.

You will get the Memorial Gate. Just wait.

Do you have some other scheme?

It is not easy for a woman
to endure in prison.

We can come up
with some excuse after she dies

and get that Memorial Gate.

By the way,

did you incite the magistrate like me?

You must not try to know so much.

You will be in danger
if you know too much.

CHEONGSU COUNTY

Lady Legal Advocate cannot receive food.

It is not for her.

I brought it for you.

Even so, I cannot let you see her.

You must leave.

Please try some.

If we cannot visit her or give her food,
can you please pass this on to her?

Please, sir.

Gosh, I am really not supposed to do this.

My lady.

My lady.

You must survive.

You must survive

and fulfill your dream.

Yes, my lady.

I will survive and fulfill my dream.

Young Master Baek's mother
moved into the house.

I will collect my husband's body…

mourn for three years, and stay a widow.

Now that you have been starved,
do you understand your situation?

Yes, my lord.

Will you let me out?

When you go out,

you must not say anything
about what happened here.

Of course, my lord.

No matter how much
a widow has been wronged,

she must not say a word.

Collect your husband's body
and hold a funeral for him.

Finally,

you will atone for the unvirtuous actions
that disturbed the moral laws.

She should have done that a long time ago.

But how could you not shed
a single tear when your husband has died?

My goodness.

From now on, Widow Ok Tae-young will

mourn her husband for three years
and stay at the ancestral shrine.

Of course, she may not leave the place,

and there will be no more

legal advocates in Cheongsu County.

If she bows one more time,
she will surely become a widow.

I did not expect this.

Even the mighty Ok Tae-young
must have been afraid to die.

Come now. Bow already.

Must I force you to bow?

Look here. Make her kneel.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Who on earth is she bowing to?

What is going on?

Master Yun-gyeom.

Master Yun-gyeom.

Mak-sim, I kept my promise.

What took you so long?

Why, he was alive and well.

- Then what…
- What on earth happened?

Whose corpse is that then?

Dearest.

I am back.

Oh, my goodness. My lady.

Let us go.

Let us go.

Father, Yun-gyeom is here.

THE SPIRIT OF SEONG GYU-JIN
RESTS HERE

Master Yun-gyeom lost his memories?

He had a severe head injury
because of a boating accident.

Oh, my goodness.

That is why
he could not find his way home.

Will his memory return if we scare him?

Give it a try.

- What? That is all?
- What do you mean?

Usually, when I say something like this,

you would talk back twice over,
and it would end with you

saying something worthy of a beating.

Why did you change?

I did not change at all.

It is just that I am tired
from such a long journey.

Oh, my goodness. Is that so?

My gosh. You have done well.

Well done, my dear.

Come now. You are making me blush.

But this is nice. Keep going.

What?

Do you remember anything?

No.

I do not remember anything.

From what point do you remember?

It was about two to three months ago.

When I opened my eyes,
I was lying on a beach in Qing.

I suppose I drifted ashore
after the merchants' boat was wrecked.

The boat that I saw

must have been headed for Qing.

I did not have my identification tag
nor any acquaintance.

But since I spoke the language of Joseon,

I figured I should return to Joseon,
so I was working to earn my passage fare.

That is when I found him.

Yun-gyeom.

I see.

You seem to be very angry with me.

You are so cold to me.

Did I not tell you on our journey back?

It is better
that you have lost your memories.

I cannot believe
I took seven years to come back.

My lady, since Yun-gyeom has returned,
please do not be angry anymore.

If he had not lost his memory,

he would not have returned.

And if he regains his memory,

he will surely leave again.

How dare he try to make you
hold a funeral for fake Yun-gyeom?

I will report the magistrate
as soon as the day breaks.

There is a reason why I gave in

despite all the humiliation
I had to endure.

Do you have a plan or something?

Hold a feast.

Invite the members of Yuhyangso
and the magistrate.

Yes, my lady.

Did you hear that your mother-in-law came
while you were gone?

I heard from the servants.

I must go see her now.

Get some rest.

I will tell her to come.

You must be disappointed
that I came back alive.

Moreover, my husband returned.

You cannot make me a widow after all.

Do you have some other plans?

Do not say that, my lady.

All I did was hire the abductors.

While I was gone,

you used the main room, stole my things,

and mistreated the servants.

You were even preparing for my funeral.

Mi-ryeong was the only senior member
of this big household.

I was simply trying to help her.

Did you not tell me

to spend the rest of my life
for Mi-ryeong?

It is late now.

When the feast is over tomorrow,
return to Uichang County.

If your in-law lives in that shabby place
without any means to survive,

would that not be a detriment to you?
So let me...

I will prepare
a place for you to stay soon.

Do not do that, my lady.

I will tell Do-gyeom everything

and leave with her.

How foolish you are.

Can you imagine
how crushed your husband will be?

Yes, Mi-ryeong.
It would be better not to tell him.

Come up with a good story
about our relationship to tell Do-gyeom.

If you mention anything about
being enemies, revenge, or abductors,

you will be digging your own grave.

I understand.

I will explain well.

Just keep those who know about it quiet.

You may sleep
in your son-in-law's room tonight.

Since you ransacked this place,

you must know where it is.

Good night.

Did you already meet your mother-in-law?

Yes.

What did she say?

She thanked me for taking good care of

her poor daughter who grew up
without her mother's love.

There is something I must tell you.

I will tell him.

What is it?

Mi-ryeong is…

with child.

Pardon?

Dearest.

Is it truly not a precious child
of the Seong family?

Yes.

Tae-young.

Until she enters a stable stage,
you must keep it to yourself.

Yes, of course.

I am so sorry to have left the house
at a time like this.

Kkeut-dong, you must go to Hanyang.

Hanyang? Should I not help
with preparing for the feast?

I need something checked urgently.

You must be tired.

Why are you not asleep?

I have read about your past seven years.

You found those?

You mourned my father for three years
and aided Do-gyeom

in coming first in the state exam
and in his marriage.

When I think about how you took care
of all these matters by yourself,

it is not nearly enough for me
to apologize to you over and over again.

If you are having trouble sleeping,
would you like a drink?

Oh, did I enjoy drinking?

Yes.

You did not get drunk, though.

Are you really not going to drink?

- I do not like alcohol.
- Do not bother.

He will pass out with just one glass.

I will have them bring the drink
you used to enjoy.

No, my lady.

I heard that
there will be a feast tomorrow.

If we are to receive guests
from early in the morning,

I must get some rest.

You should get some rest too.

Oh, my goodness. How could that be?

Give me a moment.

My gosh.

How can I be this happy
when it is the same old work?

I know.
It is like going from hell to heaven.

She will leave after the feast.
What a relief.

My indigestion is gone.

To tell the truth,
I have never chopped anything with this.

- My lady.
- You are here.

His swordsmanship is still outstanding.

I see that.

It is almost as though
you did not lose your memory.

My body must remember it
as I trained for so long.

We must get ready to receive the guests.

- Yes.
- Yes.

All right.

- Give it to me, Mak-sim.
- It is all right.

Come on. Get a bit of rest.

Put it here already.

You are so strong.

You suffered so much.

Gosh, where on earth have you been?

I am glad you are back.

The Mother's Sanctuary ladies are here.

- I will receive them.
- All right.

Thank you for coming.

When did you have the time
to prepare such a huge feast?

Stop it.

It is nothing.

Please come this way.

Welcome.

Bring your mother-in-law.

Should not the whole family
enjoy the feast?

Yes.

You are still unwell,
so do not exert yourself.

Yes, my lady.

When did you have the time
to prepare this huge feast?

Have a seat here.

The son-in-law does not
seem to know anything.

This is my mother-in-law.

I heard that she used to live here,
so you must know one another.

Please take good care of her, my ladies.

I am truly happy to see all of you again.

As you know, there was
some bad blood between our families,

but what can we do?

The heavens brought those two together,
so we must accept it.

Yes.

I truly hope that you can
let go of old grudges.

Yes, I intend to consider
my son-in-law as my own son.

He will prepare a nice home for me nearby,

so you must come by.

Your ring seems very splendid.

I must have lost my mind.
Why did I wear this?

Oh, my. It is the magistrate.

- How could he dare to come here?
- Oh, my. Magistrate.

Oh, my. Magistrate.

I am sure it was not easy
for you to come here.

Let us go in…

All right.

You must apologize to Lady Ok first.

Perhaps you should kneel.

I am

truly sorry, my lady.

I really believed
that the corpse was your husband's.

It was with a handkerchief
that had his name on it.

So who would not think
that it was your husband's body?

Even so,

you must be rebuked for incarcerating her.

No, Chief Cha.

It can happen.

Your mercy knows no bounds, my lady.

That is truly so.

By the way, how are you feeling, my lady?

As you can see…

I ended up having a limp.

Oh, well…

I was just joking.

How mischievous she is.

What is the point of bringing up the past
on such a joyful day?

I invited you here
to let bygones be bygones.

Let us enjoy.

- Yes, let us do that. Let us go in.
- Yes.

My goodness.

Now that her husband has returned,

she is smiling from ear to ear.

A woman must have
a man by her side, I suppose.

I thought she would make hell freeze,

but look at her smiling now.

By the way,
what did you do with the corpse?

Oh, the corpse.

I felt sorry for this unknown man,

so I gave him a proper burial.

Is that all right?

Of course.
I am glad that you did so, my lady.

Let us all have a drink.

Please reexamine the corpse.

It is connected to the Memorial Gate case.

The inspector thinks the abductors
are only pawns as well.

Since things did not work out,
they will meet up with their accomplice.

I will make the magistrate
let his guard down,

so please shadow him.

Excuse me, please.

I thought you said
Seong Yun-gyeom would not return alive.

So you should have
made Ok Tae-young die in prison.

This is a problem for me too.

Forget it.

I carried it out trusting you,
but it is ruined.

- How will you take responsibility?
- For what?

All you have to do is let it pass.

I signed a contract

to offer a bribe for a Memorial Gate.

It is doubly a loss for me
if I do not get that gate!

You must resolve that with him.

Are you going to kill me?

Well, since we have all gathered here,
you should say a word.

Yes. One moment.

Attention, please.

Everyone, please stop what you are doing.

Seong Yun-gyeom, who has
returned in seven years,

has something to say to you.
So let us listen.

Have you all been well?

I have lost my memory
due to an unfortunate accident,

so I may not remember
each and every one of your faces.

Everyone here
must be my friend or neighbor,

so what do you think?
Am I the same as you remember?

- Yes.
- Yes, you are.

- Yes.
- You are the same.

Inadvertently, I let my wife down,

and I was not even here
for my father's funeral.

I feel so ashamed
for I have become a bad son.

You lost your memory,
so there was nothing you could do.

You just need to have a son
so you can fulfill your duty as his son.

Do you not think so?

Of course.

For the past seven years,

my wife has been filling in for me

and fulfilled her duty
as the eldest daughter-in-law.

And I heard that she has worked tirelessly

as the legal advocate of Cheongsu County.

However, I heard

when my wife was wrongfully incarcerated

and almost had to hold a funeral
for an unknown corpse,

everyone turned their back on her.

I could not help but be indignant.

Oh, my goodness. He is so eloquent.

Since the eldest son of the Seong Family,
Seong Yun-gyeom, has returned,

I am going to find out and report

every single atrocity against my family

so that they may
receive severe punishment.

Wait. Listen, Yun-gyeom.

Well, so I thought…

But considering my wife's generous mercy,

I am going to rid myself of this anger

and consider this feast as a new beginning
to get along with everyone.

Yes, of course you should.

Come, let us have a new beginning.
Enjoy, everybody.

He is so reliable.

I wonder what he had been doing

for his voice to have become so powerful.

The wine tastes so sweet.

Can you prepare the room for us?

Gosh, why are you so excited?

I am not the one
spending the night with him,

so why am I so excited?

Considering your age,

I hope you will be with child
before it is too late.

I would be doubly happy
if you and Lady Mi-ryeong could

raise your children together.

Take good care of Mi-ryeong.
She is in the early stage of pregnancy.

Yes, understood, my lady.

What is it?
Are you nervous since it has been so long?

What?

Yes, I suppose so.

It has been seven years. I understand.

Gosh, I forgot to bring
the collection of Chunhwa.

Wait a minute. I can teach you.

Teach me what? Forget it!

Just let me.

This paper is your husband's body…

and this brush pen is your lips. Okay?

What?

You must paint

on your husband's body with your lips.

Watch.

Like this.

You can draw some orchids…

and write some letters.

Just draw all over him.

Okay? Look.

Go up.

Up, down, up, up down

Up, down, up, up, down

Three times to the left,
three times to the right.

Right now!

Right now. This instant.

My goodness, Master Yun-gyeom!

- I am so sorry.
- What is going on?

Master Yun-gyeom. Goodness.

Wait…

Do-kki told me to come here, so I came.

Have a seat.

It must have been a long day
for you today.

I appreciate your hard work as well.

I thought you were pretty clever.

May I have a glass as well?

By the way,

why do you not address me properly?

Pardon?

I do not think you have called me
your husband yet.

Because you are

not my husband.

Pardon?

Wait. Before we…

Can you please slow down?

Why on earth is this…

I was going to ask you as well.

What on earth does this mean?

It is on my body,
but I do not know what it is.

I cannot tell you.

Then, what did you mean

when you said I was not your husband?

I meant that you are not my husband
because you lost your memory.

Regain it.

You must find out the secret
about the brand yourself.

But…

I will find a place for you to stay
as soon as possible.

I have something to give you.

What is it?

Since your brother has returned,

your sister-in-law and my Mi-ryeong
should bear sons, do you not think so?

Oh, yes.

This has a miraculous effect on men.

Mix it with wine
and enjoy it with your brother.

Thank you.

Keep it a secret
so it does not suffer bad luck.

Ok Tae-young's husband returned alive?

All of a sudden?

I did not know he would return either.

His Lordship told you that he would

give you a Memorial Gate
if you got rid of her.

How can a government office
get rid of a noblewoman?

My gosh. This is going to cause trouble.

That wench will not let this go.

Do not worry.

She forgot all about it upon his return.

By the way, what brings you here?

Well,

may I get the hand-signed document
back from His Lordship?

What did you say?

I did not get the Memorial Gate,
so I cannot send him the bribe.

Are you saying this

knowing what His Lordship went through
to block the investigations

that started because of you?

I have to find a way to survive.

Sure.

You should be grateful that you are alive.

All right.

HEUKJIN MERCHANT GROUP

Commander Ji?

Do you mean the Commander Ji
of Myeongju Merchant Group

who purchased the children
in the gold mine case?

I suspect that he ran an employment agency
to provide the abductors.

The magistrate mentioned
signing a document

promising to send a bribe
in exchange for a Memorial Gate.

I do not think
that Commander Ji is the mastermind.

It may be someone at the royal court.

I am being forced
to stop the investigation

of the Memorial Gate case.

That is why we must follow Commander Ji
to find out who is behind him.

Yes.

I heard that Oh Dal-seong
gave you a hard time.

There are enough grounds to punish him.
Do you want to just wait on it?

There will come a day to punish him.

If I try to punish him now,

what you do might become known.

Thank you for being such a great support.

I am flattered, Inspector.

By the way, I am so glad that
Magistrate Seong's eldest son returned.

I would like to see him,
but I suppose he does not remember me.

I will have him come and see you
once he regains his memory.

Look, take the oiled ones out

- and dry them well.
- Yes.

- Store the intact books on one side.
- Yes, my lord.

My lady.

You are not well. Where have you been?

What are you doing here?

Pardon?

We can take care of this place.
Go to Mi-ryeong.

When one is disappointed during pregnancy,
it may last a lifetime.

Okay.

Then, I will take my leave
so that you can spend some time together.

All right.

How is the office repair going?

I am sorry that I cannot help.

Do not worry about that, dearest.
Focus only on prenatal care.

Ten months of a mother's rearing is better
than ten years of a teacher's teaching.

Where did you hear that?

It is from the Book of Prenatal Care.

Are there any other good words?

"A married couple must treat
one another with respect."

"They must not let vain greed
grow in their hearts."

"And they must not let evil spirits
attach to their bodies."

"Most importantly,
they must relax and not worry

about the repair
of the legal advocate's office."

You just made that up.

Perhaps.

Anyway, how are you feeling?

Oh, I think it moved.

I do not think so.

It is too early to detect movement.

No.

You see? It really is moving.

Gosh, this child must be smart.

It already recognizes its father.

What is it?

I have been smelling something odd
in the room for a few days.

This…

I will remove it immediately.

What is that?

Is it wine you brought from Qing?

Your mother gave it to me.

What?

She gave it to me
when I took her home the other day.

I put it in wine,
but I have forgotten about it.

I must drink it up with Yun-gyeom today.

Give it to me.

I will prepare the drinks for you two.

It is all right. It makes you feel sick.

It is all right.

Give it to me.

Have some snacks.

This one is for Master Yun-gyeom.

We will eat it
after we are done with this.

Would you like to do that?

By the way, I put
your new headband in your room, my lord.

- It will feel comfortable now.
- I see. Thank you.

Sure. And this one is for my lady.

What about the headband?

Why are you whispering?

He said that his old one
was too small for him.

But it is not just his headband.

His arms and legs have
become a bit longer too.

He is an adult, but perhaps he grew.

Or did the fabric go bad
over the seven years?

Wait, would it grow bigger
or smaller if it went bad?

Does it get smaller? My lady?

I am not finished talking.

Why did you ask
to see me at a place like this?

Do you remember this place, by any chance?

No, but it does seem
familiar and inviting.

Did we used to come here often?

No.

We never came here together.

I see. Then, why did you
ask me to come here?

This is the place where I have
shared memories with the man I loved.

The man you loved?

There was a man I loved
before I got married.

He had soft hands

and was skilled in dancing.

He was a spectacular artist
who brought comfort to many.

Also,

he would sneeze
when there was pine pollen.

Pardon?

Oh, my gosh.

When did you find out?
Was it when I hummed?

It came out instinctively.
I knew I messed up when I hummed.

It was not the humming.

Then what was it?

The look in your eyes.

You are the only person

who looks at me that way.

I suppose one cannot
hide love and sneezes.

Is this fun to you?

- What?
- What? Memory loss?

Am I supposed to find that a funny joke?

I am sorry.

What about your performance in Qing?

Do not worry about that.
It is all right. I postponed it.

How did you even fool Do-gyeom?

He called me his brother
as soon as he saw me.

I heard that you were
going through such an ordeal.

You could have been in big trouble!

Then, you should have told me
as soon as you came.

How did you even get the brand?
How could you fool me so nonchalantly?

That hurts.

It has not healed yet, so it hurts.

How did you drink the alcohol?

Oh, that.

There is this magical medicine
called sin-seon-bul-chwi-dan.

That prevented me from getting drunk.

What about swordsmanship?
There is no way you mastered that.

I felt bad that I was of no help to you
at Unbong Mountain,

so I trained hard to protect you in case

something like that happened again.

So please do not be mad.
I said I was sorry.

Do you not know how dangerous this is?

Do you not know what will happen
if word gets out that you are a fake?

I said I was sorry.

- You must leave.
- What?

Go back and prepare for your performance.

It is an important performance.

You should be practicing.

All right. Then,

I will leave after repairing
the legal advocate's office.

Kkeut-dong.

Why did you return so soon?

Well, you see,

on my way to Lord Song's in Hanyang
as you requested,

I met the servants
of that household by chance

and heard the news about the young master.

I know. He is not there, right?

You must hear about that yourself.

Why are you here?

- Why did you send someone?
- Why do you think?

- You found out?
- Of course I did.

I knew it.

How did you think that you could fool me?

You have to be fooled.

What?

Director Chon is dead.

What on earth are you saying?

There is no Chon Seung-hwi
in this world anymore.

Director Chon died
on the boat trip to Qing.

Man-seok.

He could not change, delay,

or refuse the performance in Qing
that was ordered by the royal court,

so he killed himself and came here

knowing that he could never reverse it

for the sole purpose of protecting you.

I will return
and do my best to live as Ok Tae-young.

So I hope you become
the best professional storyteller

and bring honor to Joseon.

Until now, I did not know why I wrote,

why I drew,

and why I danced.

Let this be my gift to you.

I hope you can live as yourself.

Goo-deok. You have gotten really pretty,

- Goo-deok!
- Stop!

Let us say that she came back to life.

All right. I will think of this
as me seeing you in my dreams.

I not only use my superhuman insight
to analyze criminal acts

but obtain conclusive evidence
with my expertly delivered speech.

I am that government officer
of the police bureau.

But the officer cannot even
read a map properly.

When I was searching for Goo-deok,
I came up with the name "Yun-jo" for her.

If we met again,
I wanted to give her a new name

instead of that sad name, Goo-deok.

Why did you write a book
that you were not going to publish?

I was worried that I would
forget all about it when I got old.

I wanted to remember it
and reminisce about it.

I wrote it to cherish
that memory for myself.

He knew how dangerous it was,

and he knew he would be killed
if he got caught,

but he said it did not matter
if he could protect you.

So do not cast him out and let him in.

Now, he is

truly your husband.

Stop the repair
of the legal advocate's office.

I will leave once my affairs are in order.

Pardon?

She will not be caught if I am not here.

It will be all good if I leave.

They say that Lady Mi-ryeong
murdered her mother.

She testified that she hated her mother

to the point of murdering her,
so there is a motive.

It should have been mine.

It should have all been mine.

I will take care of you
for the rest of my life, Mother.

Tell me everything.

Did you really kill your mother?

How?
