- Pull the waist! - Her waist!

Yes, that's right!

What are you doing?

Ouch...

When tripping an opponent's leg, hook it to the back of the ankle...

...not by kicking his shins loudly like that.

Forgive me.

Geez.

- ...we go drinking together. - Good.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Why do you fight? without knowing the reason for your defeat?

Nobody got hurt?

Are you alright?

If you feel offended...

...I apologize.

Wait.

I'd like to ask just to make sure.

Do you know my name?

Aren't you Lee Bang Won?

That's right, Lee Bang Won...

Wait, where are you going?

Hey.

The teacher has arrived.

Come on everyone, come in.

King Xian said "Tang expelled Bang Ge, and King Wu decided to punish."

Then Yu Zhi and Mencius said,

Why do you fight? without knowing the reason for your defeat?

"A wise leader...

...JINSASI During the previous Jinsasi exam,

the person who beat you and he got the first rank, right?

...must lead in truth and morality.

If only you wrote correctly the poem...

...surely you are the one who gets it rank one.

People who do bad things will get a reply.

Hey.

Why are you so unfocused?

What are you doing?

Continue.

"A bad person will have bad consequences."

"People who do evil will get punished."

"People who do bad things will be rewarded accordingly."

"This is a clear teaching. from the moral ruler."

Okay. Good.

Weren't you too loud earlier? towards the student?

Who?

- The one I hit with the fan? - Not him.

"Why do you fight? without knowing the reason for your defeat?â€

Oh.

His facial expression suddenly changed.

It seemed like his pride was badly hurt.

Every time I see it, what is it like...

He's too tense.

Rigid.

Like a scholar who would be in danger if you don't pass the exam quickly.

I heard his father is General Lee Seong Gye?

He said,

His wish is for it to exist who passed the literature exam in the family.

Is it true?

By the way that person...

...if it goes like this.

Like this, it looks sad.

Sad?

Yeah. It looks like that.

Oh, I see?

I who serve as Daesaseong,

DAESASEONG CHIEF OF SUNGKYUNKWAN

have gathered you in my house...

...is because...

...the implementation of the Yebusi exam which is less than a year away.

Don't be influenced by the Dano festival...

...focus on reading books and try hard.

- Good. - Good.

Set out to make a name,

attain glory and honor...

...so that...

...become a way to lift family honor.

Oh, it's finally here.

Isn't that Wang Ik? The King's cousin.

Recently he received a letter from the Emperor in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Learn about the political situation,

neighboring countries that surrounds Goryeo...

...very important ahead Yebusi exam next year.

Therefore,

I called him on purpose today.

I am Yeongyeongun, Wang Ik.

I came here because I couldn't reject request...

...my future in-laws.

Thank you for the Surichwi cake.

Your mother will like it.

He even made flower socks for me.

Oh...

- Mother? - I beg you.

Go.

She is the only daughter I have.

Those are the officers from Royal Matchmaking Agency.

KINGDOM MATCHBUREAU Tribute Girl?

TRIBUTE GIRL, YOUNG WOMAN DEDICATED TO

NORTHERN YUAN DYNASTY AND MING DYNASTY Good grief.

He's running away, catch him!

Don't!

- Don't! - Go after him!

Catch up!

Come on, wake up. Come on.

Don't! Let him go!

Northern Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty,

jockeying for power in the Zhongyuan area.

However, the Northern Yuan Dynasty request military support from Goryeo.

What do you think?

We must not send troops.

Why?

The Ming Dynasty was the rising sun,

while the Northern Yuan Dynasty is the setting sun.

What's more, people are suffering due to the Japanese pirate invasion.

Which must be protected by our army today is...

...our own people.

In that case...

...what would you say in the Northern Yuan Dynasty?

The weather is too hot.

The weather is too cold.

In hot weather, grass what the horse ate withered.

In cold weather, the grass eaten by the horse it froze.

Geez.

Will they believe?

That's why we need diplomatic skills, right?

From the royal family,

like Yeongyeongun.

Father...

...provide special teaching to those of us who are chosen for this Jinsasi exam...

...it turns out there's a reason for all of that, huh.

Without a solid foundation,

even though it managed to get through difficult test...

...a person will never to be a good official.

Older brother!

This is serious, there's a problem!

Brother Won Gyeong in Royal Matchmaking Agency...

Royal Matchmaking Agency? What do you mean?

Wait, that Royal Matchmaking Bureau,

- isn't it the tribute girl selection office? - Therefore!

Why is he there...

Do not tell...

...let's go there quickly.

I'm coming too.

- Good grief. - Wait!

I can't run anymore.

Wait for me.

Even if you only choose a tribute girl...

...there are still times and procedures.

How to do it carelessly like this?

Here it is,

you just get out of here.

What is the problem?

I said so because my friend was arrested.

I have to meet with the head of this office.

Do I need to explain further?

This time, the messenger came from the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty is currently war with the Ming Dynasty,

and because of that, they need women to marry a soldier...

Hey...

You want to,

if your sister is married off with soldiers at war?

That's not even war involving Goryeo.

Gosh, you're pissing me off.

But you're not the one getting married!

Who's he?

Daughter of Daesaseong Min Je, Sungkyunkwan's great official.

Oh, no wonder.

Bro.

Please take him away, this frustrates me.

He has destroyed four officers of the Royal Matchmaking Bureau.

Please take responsibility and treat them.

Okay, I understand.

Bro.

Let's go.

I won't go.

I can't go!

Do we do it because we like it?

We were forced to do this because it was ordered from above!

That's right.

Nothing can be done by these people.

What will change? if we push those people?

I want to meet the person responsible in charge of the Royal Matchmaking Bureau.

If you have met?

This is a government decision.

What will change?

So,

are we just going to just let it be and keep quiet?

You must know very well how is the state of the world.

But this way...

...looks like a complaint from the daughter of a powerful family.

- What did you say? - Goryeo has no power...

...and the people of Goryeo are even weaker.

So, this is the result from that situation...

...it's not just the fault of a few people.

So?

I mean, it wasn't you who was taken as a tribute girl, right?

- Is not it? - Of course.

What a stroke of luck.

Don't care about others, you absolutely cannot go.

It's true, you shouldn't have gone.

That's what I mean.

Geez.

You're all bastards!

You only think about how to rise in rank and live in luxury.

No wonder Goryeo is like this.

What a shameless person.

No, wait...

He looked very angry.

Bro!

Why do you fight? without knowing the reason for your defeat?

Oh...

Hit it with a fan.

I have never seen such a brave woman.

So satisfying...

...also feels fresh.

Not only that.

In order to prevent his friend brought as a tribute girl,

a woman even facing four officials of the Royal Matchmaking Bureau.

Ouch.

Do not move.

Ouch.

Young Sil.

Are you hooked?

All the time, you talk only about that woman.

Ouch.

Slowly.

Okay.

There is one thing I must explain.

What?

I...

...not a fucking bastard.

I mean,

I have no intention of getting promoted just to live a luxurious life.

If so, that's good.

I heard you have a fiancé?

Yes

I wonder how you feel.

Why do you want to know about that?

I feel my heart constantly leading to you.

I try hard to...

...building embankments to be able to hold back that feeling.

But if the embankment collapses...

...I'm afraid I can't control myself.

So...

...if this is the feeling that I have to get rid of,

I have to get rid of everything before it's too late. So.

Please remove it.

Forgive me.

I beg you, please.

I ask.

Why don't you take the child?

Why did you only bring my daughter becomes a tribute girl?

Wait a moment.

Now I'm really going to leave.

I'm the one who's going.

What's wrong with you?

I just feel guilty.

What for?

For all.

I didn't go to die.

It's okay. Take it easy.

Nothing will happen.

When women in a family become a tribute girl...

...parents and relatives must be sad.

Day and night her crying did not stop.

Crying out loud on the day when chosen as a tribute girl...

...sad and upset...

...some even committed suicide.

Because I'm a girl...

...there is no way to report this.

But you are Sungkyunkwan students.

Please fill out this petition...

...then give it to Munhabu Nangsa .

THE MUNHABU OF THE NANGSA SUPREME ADMINISTRATIVE BODY OF GORYEO

DUTY TO CARRY OUT INSPECTION

I'm not joining.

Me too.

Excuse me.

How about you?

Me too.

This doesn't seem right.

So naive.

This may sound cold, but listen carefully.

Those gathered here...

...is a person with a purpose to be successful and famous.

Why do they...

...doing something risky before facing the Jebusi test?

Everyone is a coward.

Sometimes, people need courage...

...to be a coward.

My friend and I laughed together,

cry together and share everything together.

My close friend was taken away unfair as a tribute girl.

People just say, "It wasn't you who left."

"Thank goodness it wasn't you."

Don't feel guilty.

Your friend was taken alone it's not your fault.

I'm glad it wasn't you.

I'm serious.

How can you talk like that?

Go ahead if you think I'm selfish.

Because that's how I feel.

It's not that I don't have any something else to say.

It feels rude in front of people who have lost friends.

I'll stop here.

Geez.

PETITION

Wait, Daesaseong .

Is Lee Bang Won a student of Sungkyunkwan?

Yes, right.

He is still a student but how dare...

...put this in the office.

PETITION

PETITION

It's about the tribute girl.

Luckily I knew beforehand,

otherwise, there will definitely be a problem.

Are you laughing?

Get that student out of Sungkyunkwan.

What?

Although it's not been like that lately,

but the complaint is disturbing keep popping up makes me dizzy.

I will use him as an example.

Are you trying to silence them?

Can't.

In that case...

...I will judge him.

Please go ahead.

Unlucky.

- Is everything ready? - Yes.

Let's go.

Older brother.

What are you doing here?

What is it?

There is a problem.

Are you really leaving?

If I don't go...

...won't I be judged?

Your father will be very disappointed.

Older brother.

Still here apparently.

You guys go out for a moment.

I want to talk.

Good.

See you again.

What are you doing?

PETITION

I wrote it myself.

This will not harm you.

Why are you doing it alone?

Young master.

At first I was curious about women who cannot see injustice.

Then want to protect that naivety who is willing to do anything for his friends.

However...

...I will find a way so that you don't suffer alone.

I will find a way out.

There won't be any.

A student studying to create a new world...

...but told to close my eyes will be the injustice of the tribute girl.

You made me realize that.

So it's not something who needs to be held accountable...

...or feared.

So what are you going to do now?

What will I do?

"Why do you fight? without knowing the reason for your defeat?â€

It turns out I'm not alone in that.

Possible...

...Goryeo will be like that too.

I'll try to think about it...

...with a feeling of being in the wilderness.

Oh...

RESIDENCE...

Please put it there carefully.

After marriage, I want to decorate your own home.

This is a quality product from Bukwon.

I will go to Bukwon for a month or two.

After that...

...let's have a wedding ceremony.

If not, I would like to ask.

Why...

...suddenly going to Bukwon?

Ah, that...

You handed over the Goryeo women?

At the Royal Matchmaking Bureau, I see you.

Do you have to do that job?

It's none of a woman's business.

My close friend was brought as a tribute girl.

Just pretend not to know.

Sir.

If I hand it over this time,

I will be rewarded with wealth.

My position in Goryeo will be become wider and stronger.

We will have more power and wealth,

we will be happy.

"Why do you fight? without knowing the reason for your defeat?â€

It turns out I'm not alone in that.

Possible...

...Goryeo will be like that too.

I'll try to think about it...

...I will not leave you in the wilderness.

I will be with you.

If so, you should cancel your wedding.

Marriage with Goryeo royal family...

...Are you sure?

- That... - If you want to be together in the wilderness...

...please finish that first.

I...

...will not marry Yeongyeongun.

- What? - What do you mean?

Sorry for not letting you know earlier.

But I can't do it.

My child.

How can that be?

Is it because your friend became a tribute girl? If yes, I will change into someone else.

Change to someone else and then what?

How could you embarrass me like this?

Forgive me.

If you cancel This marriage is unilateral...

...I will not remain silent.

What should I do?

What should I do?

I will make sure that your father and all your younger siblings,

can't set foot in government.

But...

Then, Dad...

...please throw me away.

Please let me out...

...from the Min family.

- Wait... - Won Gyeong!

When you read this letter...

...I will cancel my wedding with Yeongyeongun Wang Ik.

Due to cancel royal family wedding...

...there will definitely be losses afterwards.

However,

I won't avoid it.

I want to see you.
