Original subtitles

(This drama was remade based on historical facts.)

The year of 1791. The last years of King Sukjong.

Rumors were spreading throughout the entire country...

saying the Crown Prince was incapable of having a child.

During that time, the Seoin Party was the governing party.

But they divided into two groups as Norons and Sorons,

and each group wanted to appoint a different prince as king.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince was left...

with a few powerless people from the Namin Party.

And during this time when the country was in complete chaos,

there was a powerful judicial authority in Joseon,

called Saheonbu.

You... You are...

We are all living on the edge of a cliff.

And it doesn't take too much effort for one to fall down that cliff.

Do you know what you come to realize once that moment comes near?

You come to realize that losing power is equivalent to death.

His Royal Highness has arrived.

I'm definite of this.

The Crown Prince will not be able to have a child, sir.

(Yi Tan, Noron)

Sir, that means the Crown Prince...

might get replaced.

(Yi Hweon, Soron)

But it's like that all the time.

(Min Jin Heon, Noron)

Even now, someone's life might be getting ruined.

After all, things always come and go.

Please explain first.

I'm an inspector of Saheonbu.

Why did you want to meet me?

I noticed that you're a successful man...

who comes from a poor family.

You may be working for the government right now.

But because you come from the Namin Party,

you'll probably know that it'll be hard for you to be succeed further.

Are you not drinking your tea because of another appointment?

For example,

a night inspection?

How did you know that?

I heard a few inspectors like you...

are planning to cause trouble tonight...

without even knowing the current situation.

The authorities of Saheonbu...

are often called Haechis.

Haechi.

It's a legendary animal...

that judges good and evil.

But do you know why that animal only exists in legends?

That's because it's impossible to judge between good and evil...

in reality.

Byung Ju.

You came.

I knew you'd step up.

That's just how it is.

In reality, there are winners and losers,

and those who live and those who die.

The reason we,

the inspectors of Saheonbu, have gathered here today...

has nothing to do with politics.

We're here for justice and order.

Even the weakest arms...

become strong...

when they wield the sword of justice.

In this world,

there are also fools who think otherwise sometimes.

(Episode 1: The Lowly Prince)

We are almost there. They say we are in Hanyang.

The daughter of a countryside's pottery merchant became a success.

She came to the great Hanyang.

There are still lots of people who are worse than you.

We will be parting soon. Will you never tell me?

Who are you?

Are you a rich merchant or the son of a great family?

I am the most useless person of all you mentioned.

Did I not tell you?

But you were the first person...

to treat me like a person.

Since I have come this far,

I will go back after looking around the capital city.

When we dock at the port, bring some porters here.

Go ahead.

I will be a bit late.

Where is this place?

Could this be your house?

Have you lost your mind?

I am not even a gisaeng. I used to sell drinks on the streets.

You will be criticized by people if you have someone like me around.

You do not have to worry about that.

That is what I am supposed to do...

in Hanyang.

Okay. This way, please.

This horse was originally prepared for the son-in-law...

by the wife of a vice minister.

But that son-in-law suddenly got a promotion.

You know how nobles have a hard time getting promoted...

if they ride expensive horses.

What use is being a noble?

They cannot brag what they have.

Yes, the best hats are those made with horsehair.

These days,

even the winged cap is not so great anymore.

Hey. Serve this gentleman some good tea.

- Yes, sir. This way, please. - Please go that way, sir.

Hey, he does not know how to choose horses anyway.

Finish it moderately.

I'll say it costs 300 yang and sell it at 200 yang.

My goodness. How was the test ride?

Was the horse kicking hard enough?

Why would a trickster like you give me a really good horse?

I can't play tricks all the time.

Who would try to trick a man who can trick tricksters?

A horse like this is hard to come by even with immeasurable money.

You can just take this horse.

But please help me out, sir.

What were you thinking when you took that job?

I did not take that job. I was given that job.

I was ordered to find someone who'd be the perfect fit.

But who would willingly take such dangerous risk?

And you thought I'd be okay since I am as good as dead already?

Gosh, that's not what I mean.

I meant that your skills are great.

Bring a brush and an inkstone.

The civil service examination begins at 9am, right?

Then are you saving my life?

Since I am late, I will take this horse.

Do not go through Gaedong.

There was such trouble there last night,

so the streets will be a mess.

Trouble? What happened there?

There was a night inspection.

The prime minister...

was suddenly inspected last night.

What?

The prime minister?

Move away! Stay back!

- There is nothing to see here. - My goodness.

I hear that the prime minister...

was suddenly inspected by inspectors from Saheonbu last night.

What? What does that mean?

Doesn't that mean he did something wrong?

I told you to take this away. Why are you not listening to me?

A night inspection?

(Kim Chang Joong, Prime Minister, Noron)

How dare you imbeciles of Saheonbu do this to me?

Do you want to know what a night inspection is?

What?

- You imbeciles of Saheonbu! - It's what Saheonbu does...

to nobles like Mr. Kim...

- to let the world know of his sins. - How dare you come?

Do you think I will let this slide?

That is why this is such a fuss.

- It's funny, isn't it? - You deserve to be bitten by dogs.

You imbecile.

Say that to me once more.

Everyone...

may get bitten by a dog someday.

But that does not mean people should hear your screams outside.

Minister of Personnel. Why did you suddenly come from there?

The chief inspector is coming.

Chief Inspector.

Do you not know what situation we are in?

Rumors say that the Crown Prince will be changed soon.

Why did you discriminate the prime minister?

Have you heard?

They say the next crown prince will be...

either Prince Mil Poong or Prince Yeon Ryeong.

Of course, Prince Mil Poong seems to be more advantageous.

The Namin Party who supports the Crown Prince...

are gathering because of that too.

Exactly! At times like this, we, Saheonbu,

have discriminated the leader of Noron, the prime minister.

Do you not know that Noron is supporting Prince Mil Poong?

I am not saying that we should side with someone.

I am asking if this is right.

How were you managing the lower officers?

What does inspection mean to Saheonbu?

Some say it is a sword that protects the law.

But they are wrong.

We are just 24 wretched lives.

Do you understand?

Wretched lives like us...

should just follow our orders...

and capture petty criminals who cause trouble in our society!

But last night,

some proud imbeciles...

caused trouble without second thoughts.

It was not trouble. It was a night inspection.

And inspectors like us...

have the right to reveal corrupted higher-ups.

So what?

Is that why you did this without me, the Team Leader, knowing?

To make me the only fool among the higher-ups?

This is too much.

Inspector Han told you, but you ignored him.

Why are you standing there?

Were you not obsessed in being successful?

Oh, is it because he is with the Namin Party?

So did you want to discriminate Noron...

since your preferred prince won't become crown prince?

Is this what you call justice? This is just trickery.

Do not distort this incident into something political.

Inspector Wi is the only person who is with Namin Party.

We are not trying to do politics.

We are just trying to do our jobs as inspectors of Saheonbu.

Are you saying you will continue discriminating the prime minister?

The prime minister pressured the police bureau...

and tried to cover up the murder case I was investigating.

Why would he have done that?

It is obvious that Prince Mil Poong is involved in this...

I told you to forget it because there was not enough evidence!

If you did not get in our way like that,

we would not have done that night inspection.

Hey, Han Jeong Seok!

You jerk!

- Please calm down. - Then I will get going.

I should do my job.

Hey! Stop right there.

Job? That is not your job.

Take your hands off that case and go out on a patrol.

There is a civil service examination at Seonggyungwan now.

- You should go there. - Inspector Team Leader.

Yes, the Team Leader! That would be me!

I distribute work here every single day!

I am warning you. Disobeying orders is not forgiven in Saheonbu.

If you want to do as you please,

you should quit your job and leave.

(Manhwaroo)

Please let me in, sir!

What do you mean that I am late?

Let me see.

Gosh, this brush is in a terrible state.

It would've been troublesome if the rain didn't stop, right?

Gosh, you're looking flaky.

Were you also unable to sleep?

You worried the exam might get postponed, right?

I slept well and there's no way my face is flaky.

I don't think so.

You look dark all over.

Or do you have a chronic illness?

Wait.

What's this?

What are you doing?

Alcohol? Did you drink all night giving up the exam?

Why did you do that?

It's not over until it's over. Why did you do that?

None of your business.

Some people's lives are over as soon as they begin.

You've failed many times.

That's why you look rotten.

Whatever you say.

Actually,

I've failed 10 times already.

The same goes for everyone here.

It's not only you.

"You have to fail 1,000 times to make it."

People even say that.

So let's...

not give up until it's over.

Okay.

But I never asked and I'm not curious.

Here. It's a marten brush.

It's new.

You were on a nice horse.

What's the matter with your brush?

No, I don't...

I'm...

Park Mun Su.

And you? What's your name?

Our superior has been doing inspections for years.

How can they make him go on patrol?

Oh, that idiot.

What a way to be a team leader!

Are we really closing this case?

Like a coward, just because he's a prime minister?

Ah Bong, how long have you worked for me as an investigator?

(Investigator: An inspector's assistant)

Five years. Why do you ask?

You fool.

Stop saying ridiculous and absurd things.

Do you think he would would stay behind?

"No Tae Pyeong, 52 years old"?

Mister, isn't this problematic?

Mister, what is it this time?

You told me your last name was Chang.

There it says "No Tae Pyeong, 52 years old".

Your life must have been really turbulent.

You may look rotten but how can you be in your 50s?

You're substituting for someone, aren't you?

Substituting?

(Substituting: Taking the exam on behalf of someone else)

I had no idea and even lent my brush to you.

Supervisor, there's a substitute over here.

What are you doing?

Thanks, but this is made out of pig's hair, not a marten's.

Just for your information.

Pig's hair?

It was pig's hair? Hey, you.

This is mine.

Hey, stop right there.

I'll be right back.

Hey, stop right there.

I said, stop.

Move. Move.

You punk.

I said, stop.

Hey, you punk.

- Get him! - I told you to stop.

Get him.

He's...

Wasn't that Mun Su?

What? What's going on?

Hold it.

I see. You're not bad.

You jerk.

I'm tired.

Let's go now.

Already? I'm okay.

You were paid to substitute for someone, weren't you?

Some people are staking their lives on that exam.

Just an advice. Don't stake your life in it.

I took a glance. You're doomed in this life.

What?

You pretty boy.

Hey, just stay there. Stay right there.

Stay? I am staying here.

Hey, you!

Hey!

No Tae Pyeong, 52!

That idiot.

Out of the way. Prince Yeon Ryeong is passing by.

Out of the way. Prince Yeon Ryeong is passing by.

Hey, move out.

The Prince is marching by.

- Mun Su. - Jeong Seok.

What are you doing here?

I'm glad to see you here.

Some guy was substituting at the civil service exam...

so I was chasing after him and...

Wait, wait.

The civil service exam?

Why were you there?

Don't tell me you took the exam.

Again?

I mean... I did take the exam but...

I told you to ignore me.

Just pass by like the others.

Why act like you know me?

You're the same old troublemaker.

Prince Yeoning.

(Prince Yeoning Yi Geum)

- That was wonderful. - That was good.

- It was magnificent. - Amazing!

That was wonderful.

- It was such a magnificent show. - What a show.

Now.

I wonder if you enjoyed it?

That was enjoyable to the eyes.

I've never seen such a dance.

Prince Mil Poong truly holds all six virtues...

of a gentleman.

Everyone had high expectations...

so I tried learning the sword dance.

And I managed to master it.

I came up with every move.

The sword dance was a bit too much though, don't you think?

The guests are suffering outside in this weather...

because of you.

Anyway,

I don't see the Crown Prince.

That's...

Did something happen last night, Crown Princess?

Not at all.

He had a stomachache so he's resting.

Oh, my.

Isn't he in his bed too much?

The center of the kingdom shouldn't be left unoccupied, should it?

Thank you for the concern.

But wouldn't the king and the royal family be looking after...

that unoccupied place?

The royal family...

meaning you?

It means...

you don't have to concern about it.

I apologize. I'm late, Your Highness.

Prince Yeon Ryeong.

What took you so long to come? I've been waiting for you.

I brought an old friend of mine on my way here.

The entire royal family should be here to congratulate your birthday.

It seems like everyone is here already.

Whom are you talking about?

No way.

Prince Yeoning?

What are you doing in Hanyang?

How dare you set foot here?

Is he trying to say he is also of royal blood?

Greetings, Your Highness the Queen.

Have you been well?

Yes, I have.

I'm surprised to see you.

Tell the chief royal secretary to come see me right now.

Do you know what I hate the most?

I hate selfish people.

People like you who care only about themselves...

and cause trouble to others.

But more importantly, I am a Prince...

who's next in line to become king!

You think I can't kill you because we're inside the palace.

I'm sorry. Please, sir.

Well, you're wrong.

Everything here will become mine!

I see you still have a habit of committing violence.

You'll end up in trouble one day.

The king's guards are by the Jinseon Gate.

You might get caught.

Take him away, and keep an eye on him.

Please pretend like you didn't see that, Prince Yeoning.

Brother.

This is why I find you very interesting.

You change your attitude very quickly.

I can't believe you just called me "Brother".

You're no different...

seeing that you came all the way here.

I guess you stay in touch with what goes on around here.

Are you here to side with Prince Yeon Ryeong?

I don't care about what happens...

inside the palace, so don't worry about me.

You're wearing me out.

It's not that you don't care. You're just not qualified...

because your mother is a low life.

That's why no one feels comfortable around you.

A prince who has low life blood.

You're obviously an embarrassment.

Why do you hang out with Prince Yeon Ryeong?

You're both the King's son,

but he's a true royal blood while you're just a neglected son.

Gosh, don't you even feel annoyed by that?

Let me tell you something since we're talking about royal blood.

Don't call me "Brother".

You're not even the King's son.

You're like...

a half-blood.

I am the direct heir of Prince So Hyeon!

The royal throne originally belonged to my father and me!

Stop whining.

That's nonsense. Whoever takes the throne is the winner.

I heard Kim Chang Joong suddenly got inspected last night.

You were behind that, weren't you? It's just so obvious.

You probably got yourself in trouble,

and the Norons needed to keep it low since they support you.

That's probably why there was a night inspection.

Did you get caught killing someone?

You better shut your mouth.

You don't deserve to be a king.

The next one in line is Prince Yeon Ryeong.

So don't bother wasting your energy.

He's a nice guy, so he'll at least let you live.

Don't be too scared.

Hey!

Put your sword away.

You might get hurt.

Prince Mil Poong!

You need to get going, Prince.

His Majesty the King is about to make...

an announcement related to you.

What?

Me?

(Episode 2)

His Majesty will deliver it himself to Prince Mil Poong.

What was the message?

He'll free Prince Mil Poong from his chains first.

That way, he'll be able to make a breakthrough with us Norons.

I will vindicate Kang Bin,

Prince Mil Poong's great-grandmother from her unjust sufferings...

and restore her status.

(Restoration, to vindicate someone from unjust sufferings)

Your Highness.

Therefore,

change Crown Princess Kang's title to Min Heo...

and move her body to Crown Prince So Hyeon's tomb...

and inter her there.

I will do as you command, Your Highness.

Inscrutable are the King's favors.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

(Prince Yun, Namin Party)

You're vindicating Prince Mil Poong's great-grandmother?

Your Majesty, what does that mean?

You're not going to dethrone the Crown Prince, are you?

Are you going to place Prince Mil Poong there?

This doesn't concern you.

But Your Majesty...

Then...

should we just watch as the state collapses?

(Queen Inwon)

Yi Hwon.

Prince Yeon Ryeong.

Congratulations, my lord.

You've accomplished a long-standing task.

Everything will go smoothly from here on out.

It's a natural outcome.

We've won the centerpiece of the kingdom.

Hurry and leave the palace, my lord.

I've summoned everyone to discuss today's development.

Don't worry about me.

Go on.

Where to, sir?

- To Jeongdong. - Yes, sir.

You're quite late. I thought you'd come right away.

I was at the palace.

Who's...

You wench, how dare you look up at me like that?

Your eyes, then your mouth.

Right, should I tear open that mouth now?

Will it be okay for you?

I haven't washed for days and I smell horrible.

You lowly thing.

How could such a filthy girl come into my house...

If you are talking about being lowly,

who would be lower than me in Hanyang?

I think this girl is just right for the job.

Do you disagree?

That filthy and lowly blood flows through my veins too.

Fine. Enjoy yourself.

Enjoy yourself like you always have.

You don't care about the world or who becomes the next king.

You have nothing better to do.

But you should dust yourself outside before you come in.

At least the nobles of this land...

play with gisaengs and concubines.

Not some low life from the streets like this.

Were you a prince?

Please be understanding.

She's a daughter of a noble family,

but she got so heartbroken...

by being forced to marry someone like me.

It seems like she's always been a jerk.

I can tell by just a glance.

Judging by how you speak now, you must be okay.

But were you really a prince?

Only half of myself.

My mother was a low life.

I think I heard that.

The current king fell in love with a low life...

She was a maid.

She used to draw water at the palace.

That is right. Yes, she was a maid.

But I heard they're only treated as a king's one-time pleasure.

I heard low-life maids cannot be concubines.

Not concubines, but queens.

They are not much different.

You are right.

Royal blood or not aren't much different either.

I am...

that lowly prince.

Gosh, that water is dirty.

But I heard that the lowly prince...

is not being treated well because of that.

He is not welcome among nobles nor commoners...

because he is neither.

I am pretty famous indeed.

So what?

Are you disappointed?

No, this is a good thing.

You will always look for me since you have nobody to be with.

That's why you did not abandon me.

You pitied me because I was a low life.

How long will this meeting take?

Are they catching criminals with their mere words?

The situation within the palace is unstable. I'm sure...

they will make their move too.

- You should be careful... - Jeong Seok.

Jeong Seok, I am over here.

Are you still here?

I was waiting for you.

My goodness. I told you.

He has a dog's nature. He never lets go of his target.

The problem is that he has the brain of a dog too.

Gosh, Mun Su. How do you...

I am sure that he has done this multiple times before.

Some pretty-faced guy took that money...

and rode an extremely expensive horse.

He will blame this guy for failing the exam this time.

But he does look unpleasant.

You filed a report to Saheonbu and drew a portrait of him.

The case will be given to someone fit tomorrow.

But he will be able to escape to Pyongyang by then.

If you are too busy, at least show me the family register list.

No Tae Pyeong, 52. I've seen him write Hanyang too.

That exceeds my authority and it is illegal.

How many times have I told you?

We will lose the criminal if we go through all procedures.

I do know that you have a particularly strong enthusiasm.

That is why I like you.

But you must do that work when you officially become...

an inspector of Saheonbu.

But Jeong Seok...

I should get going now.

My wife asked about you.

I think she wants to pack you some food. Stop by later.

Jeong Seok.

- Goodbye. - Food is not the problem here.

He said he likes you, but he was so harsh.

You failed the test 11 times, but he wants you to pass that first.

How could he say something like that?

I have failed only 10 times yet.

Do we have to try everything to know everything?

My goodness.

Is there no other way?

Can you two help me?

My gosh, we cannot afford to do that.

Do you not know that there is big case among the inspectors?

Jang Dal, how could a case be big or small?

Right.

- That is it. - What?

Why can I not find Yeo Ji?

She would jump into this with fire in her eyes.

The price is the same, but the bottle is getting smaller.

Small? Is this small?

I see. So I had small breasts.

I have never taken interest into that before.

How big must it be to not be small? Forget it.

So mine should be at least that big?

Mine need to be that big to get into that room, right?

What is it?

It is nothing.

I was just drinking.

I mean it.

Then you should keep drinking.

I should at least steal some tangerines.

Tangerines.

Lord Min has sent out the girls? Why did he do that?

He told me to take out the girls...

since he will be discussing private matters today.

Gosh, he is such a drama queen.

Then why would he come to a place where gisaengs work?

He should just exchange letters.

Excuse me, my lord.

This way, please.

His Majesty must have made up his mind...

since he vindicated Kang Bin.

I am sure that Prince Mil Poong will become the crown prince.

But would that be possible without any problem?

As you know, the inspectors of Saheonbu...

performed a night inspection on me.

I know.

They say a particular inspector...

is investigating several murders.

But he thinks of Prince Mil Poong as a suspect.

I pressured the police bureau to stop that,

and that caused me such humiliation by Saheonbu.

There is a limit for me in holding back Saheonbu.

But it's only an accusation.

There is no evidence.

Right.

Prince Mil Poong is the worst imbecile.

He has many flaws too.

But flaws are not always bad.

Because of those flaws,

Prince Mil Poong will become a king that we can deal with.

My gosh, I feel so nervous.

Why? Who came?

Minister of Personnel.

That case.

I obviously believe Prince Mil Poong did not do it,

but it seems a bit odd.

So what?

I have my honor as the chief inspector.

I cannot stop the inspectors forever.

There is an inspector named Wi Byung Ju in Saheonbu.

Wi Byung Ju?

That Namin Party member?

Make him the inspector team leader.

He will take care of the chores.

Prince Mil Poong?

The test I substituted for was requested by Yi Tan?

Exactly.

Why would Mil Poong do that?

Who did he want to pass?

How would I know the mind of a crazy man doing crazy things?

I am only normal.

Do you not know Prince Mil Poong's temper?

We will die if this goes wrong.

Prince Mil Poong...

does not know you took the test for him.

Why did you let this happen?

Sir, you heard the rumors too, right?

I am talking about Yi Tan's death ledger.

Come on. People say that dead bodies keep piling up...

near Prince Mil Poong, Yi Tan.

The death ledger.

After killing someone,

he writes a number on a writing?

Is that what it means?

It is just a rumor.

It could have started as gossip.

But it is certainly true...

that many people near Prince Mil Poong...

are dying.

Gosh, what should I do with this?

I need to hold my temper. That's the right thing to do.

I need to control myself.

Four years ago,

a butler who was in charge of managing...

Prince Mil Poong's land was found dead.

My goodness.

It was right after he came to the police bureau...

to reveal Prince Mil Poong's irregularities.

After that,

Prince Mil Poong's bodyguard and his wife were also found dead.

The investigator in charge of the case committed suicide.

And recently, a young widow who got raped by Prince Mil Poong...

ended up dying when she was pregnant.

Ma'am!

Even her sister was found dead.

Ma'am!

And the military official who tried to find out why they all died...

ended up dying as well.

Darn it.

But I'm not Buddha.

How am I supposed to hold my anger?

Insects...

never listen when you try to be nice to them!

There's no ghost who got to say everything...

they ever wanted before death.

But this one did.

I will turn a blind eye on what you did to my niece,

so please help me pass the civil service examination.

I thought about it and I think I deserve some compensation.

His widowed niece died while she was pregnant,

but the so-called uncle comes to me and asks...

for an office position and money in return for keeping quiet.

This jerk is a scumbag.

He should've been satisfied with his office position.

How could he be shameless enough to ask me for more?

Hey.

What was this jerk's name again?

His name was No something.

Tae Pyeong, was it?

Why are you telling me all this? Is it a warning?

If it's all true,

it means Prince Mil Poong gets rid of every obstacle...

that stands in his way.

Obstacle?

Are you talking about the throne?

What goes on inside the palace is none of my business.

However, this is my job.

I will keep my eyes on him, but you must also...

keep your guard up, sir.

Why haven't you gone home yet?

You're the female inspector.

What's your name?

It's Yeo Ji, sir.

Are you here to see my lord?

I came to have a drink.

But I guess I came a bit too late.

I'll tell him that you dropped by.

Yes, please do.

I will be off now.

But...

your hair...

I tried it on...

because it looked pretty on the other ladies.

Please don't tell anyone.

Okay.

A death ledger?

(Death Ledger: A document that keeps record of the dead)

I guess that lunatic would be capable in doing that.

But why did he want someone to take the test for No Tae Pyeong?

For what reason?

Here you go.

But why did you suddenly ask for a bow?

Prince Mil Poong is holding a hunting contest in Yangju today.

Pardon?

Why?

It's to celebrate...

and show off his power.

He's a guy who's crazy about boasting.

No, that's not what I meant. I meant why are you going there?

You never went to those kinds of events.

I'm curious...

about what he's scheming and what he's planning to do next.

You must be worried about Prince Yeon Ryeong.

I'm guessing you're worried about me.

You must be careful.

I lived my entire life being careful.

That's enough nagging.

Please put this inside.

Yes, sir.

It's perfect.

She does a better topknot than any other man.

She'd look like a woman if she had a mole on her face.

But she ended up being born without one.

Yeo Ji.

Are you all ready?

Yes, sir. I'm ready to go.

There will be danger everywhere. Are you sure you'll be okay?

You worked so hard to come this far.

We need to arrest Prince Mil Poong.

According to the conversation I overheard yesterday,

it seems like the Norons are also aware of Prince Mil Poong's sins.

They're just busy trying to hide everything.

Of course. It's so obvious.

That's why they're just a bunch of trash bags.

But that tyrant is close to becoming the king of this country.

We must steal his death ledger.

You must be careful.

Hey! Mun Su!

Ah Bong, over here.

Did you bring it?

You know I'm done...

- if you get caught, right? - Yes, of course.

This is illegal. I can't give this to you.

- No, no. - You little punk.

If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you.

- Give it to me. - Here.

Gosh, you punk.

You should use this passion to study harder.

You would've passed the test more than 100 times already.

Here you are. No Tae Pyeong, 52.

Let me offer my condolences to you, you punk.

Prince Mil Poong, you really are incredible.

This is the biggest hunting contest I've ever seen.

Prince Mil Poong is known for always providing...

the best for his people.

Yes, of course. After all, he will soon become our king.

Yes, you're right.

Whoever catches the biggest beast...

will receive this gold toad that has my name engraved on it.

- The gold toad. - It's the gold toad.

Okay, then. Let's begin!

That crazy jerk.

How could he afford to pay someone to substitute him?

Did he sell his wife or something?

What? He already ran away.

He knew I'd be coming.

Darn it.

Gosh, he escaped.

But just because he got a substitute, doesn't mean he'll pass.

He obviously ran away because he knew I'd catch him.

If I don't catch No Tae Pyeong, I won't be able to catch that jerk.

Goodness, it's out already.

- Let's go check. - Hurry.

- Exactly. - Goodness.

- Come on. - Let's go.

Today is a great day.

Yes, I agree.

Prince Mil Poong is the best.

He's amazing.

Yes, I agree.

- Goodness. - Have some of this.

I'm getting drunk.

This is delicious.

I'm sorry. Here you go.

- What is it? - It is nothing.

I was just drinking.

I mean it.

It's okay. You can keep going your way.

Hey.

Is Prince Mil Poong under that tent?

What is it? What's going on?

What? What is it?

It's the results for the civil service examination.

Already?

- Excuse me. Let me go through. - That hurts.

Please.

I don't care if I'm last. Please let my name be on it.

It's there.

It's there.

"No Tae Pyeong".

"First place"?

That's too hasty.

Prince Mil Poong may be a fool.

But he's not that stupid.

I'm saying you can't open it with that.

It's better to take the whole thing.

I want to know what's in there too.

Please, move.

I'll give you money if that's what you want.

Leave that here.

Am I a beggar?

Does it feel uncomfortable?

You seem to be better than a thief.

Okay.

Since you put in effort,

how about...

20 yang?

30 yang?

Shouldn't it be 200 or 300 yang?

Gosh.

Trying to make fortune out of it would be...

It'll cost you a bit to recover from it. Use it there.

I went easy on you since you'll need to exercise your manhood.

Be thankful.

Hey.

Who are you?

Why were you in there?

Get him. Now!

That's weird.

Mice should live in the fields.

Why is a pretty-looking mouse living in the mountains?

Right?

A cute-looking boy.

You little...

I feel sorry to even catch him.

Then let him go.

He's not a boy.

You're so harsh.

How can you twist a girl's arm?

Girl?

Come on, Yi Tan. You should fight me.

(Haechi)

Get him!

Both of us want that.

We chased after Prince Mil Poong...

because we know his crimes.

You're Prince Yeoning, son of His Majesty, aren't you?

- Really? - What a clever girl.

You really want to push Prince Mil Poong?

Stop hating Prince Mil Poong.

Where is this thing that doesn't even have a source?

Can you show me the world that I used to know?

I don't know if I should get drunk on alcohol or by the spring day.
