I understand you're looking for clothes to wear for the preliminary round of selection?

I need a light pink top, and an outer coat to wear over that.

And maybe a red skirt?

I'm going to decide after I take a look at your designs.

She's the only daughter of Lord Min, who is a very prominent man.

Do not accept any other customers until you've completed my lady's order.

Yes, since that is what I promised, that is what I'll do.

[Queen Inhyeon]

[Jang Hee Bin]

As long as I like your designs

the gold top and the skirt I'll need for the second round...

and any other items I will need with it will be ordered from you.

She's already pretty much passed through the preliminaries onto the third round.

But the colors strangely seem like they're jumping out of the fabric.

I tried to convey the feeling of flowers trying to lure in the butterflies.

And because of that, I dyed the fabric myself.

It's the butterflies that seeks out the flowers.

How could flowers lure them in?

That was just a figure of speech.

I was attempting to make clothing that men would fall in love with.

How frivolous.

I don't need anything like that.

The type of clothing I need

is something that would be appropriate for any sort of situation.

That way even at one glance, her elegance would not be lost.

That is... the queen's virtue.

What are you doing!

I don't think you and I are fit for each other.

Even though your clothes are beautiful...

it's not what I'm really looking for.

But since you weren't able to accept any other clients because of me

I will compensate you for that.

No, that’s quite alright.

Since I wasn't able to sell the clothes, I will not accept any compensation.

Hold on.

You need to leave behind what you stole.

I didn't steal anything.

If I hadn't been caught... it wouldn't count as stealing.

There's an even better solution than that.

If I gift this to you, then you wouldn't be stealing this.

However... this is the one and only time.

- What’s your name? - I don't have such a thing.

Some people call me dog poop, and then others call me a stray dog.

But I do have a last name.

It's Choi.

What about you?

My name is...

Jang Ok Jung.

Jang... Ok Jung...

When I get older, I want to be like you.

Just like Jang Ok Jung.

[Choi Suk-bin]

I'll make sure of that.

[Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love.]

Righteous and virtuous...

Your fortune looks good.

It's really... an unbelievably amazing fortune.

I guess...

I do hear that I have the best fortune in Joseon.

Even if you're just sitting around, you're surrounded by people.

And even if you don't lift a finger, money just falls down on you from the sky.

Your destiny is to do nothing but to enjoy yourself your whole life.

It's pretty similar.

You're a beggar.

Your life is to set up a space on the street, and beg for handouts from others.

You've got that completely wrong.

You're just wasting space sitting there with those kind of skills.

I wonder if I made a mistake with how I threw the rice grains.

I'm sure... this is how I'm supposed to throw it.

You can't read palms since you're blind...

You said you're confident in your rice grain reading

but you're not very good at that either.

Actually, I'm pretty good at reading palms.

You are... Shilla's famed teacher in sword fighting.

And up until five years ago, you were an esteemed scholar

and you were famed to be a holy man when it came to music.

You had a firm belief in the way you played your instrument.

Thus when you had to play your instrument, if the rain or wind blew too harshly

or had to play for a person who had no respect

or if the setting wasn't right, or you did not like the seat provided...

or if the set up wasn't proper, you were known to refuse playing.

Your name became famous even in China... Lord Baekeun.

That is your past, is it not?

Who are you?

I'm Crowned Prince, Lee Soon, the future King of this land.

[Jang Ok Jung, later known as, Jang Hee Bin.]

Did you get all the gisaengs here?

Of course.

There's nothing people wouldn't do for money. So how can a gisaeng refuse?

All the well-known gisaengs are waiting for you in the back.

Good. Gentle movements through the fingertips

and sweep it slightly towards your shoulder as you turn.

No, wait a minute. Play something that's faster.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Welcome.

Aren't you the Madame from Lord Han Sung Boo's household?

- It's an honor to have you in attendance. - Please don't mention it.

I heard if you don't come to this show at the start of each season

you're known as a tacky dresser.

But why do you make us bring these for every show?

Only those from a certain background attend this event anyway.

There are so many people trying to copy the clothing that we show at our event

that unless we take these measures

you'll see the exact replicas of these clothes on the street the next day.

Even if it's inconvenient, please understand.

Did that child send it?

I heard that the child has a business, and is extremely talented at making clothes?

What talent could she possess? [Lady Yoon - Ok Jung's mother.]

I'm just grateful that she grew up as well as she did.

You're disgracing yourself by being in her presence!

A great man whose presence has been in the company of the Great King...

disgraces himself by standing in broad daylight in the presence of a lowly slave?

Your words are too harsh, wife.

Buyongjung?

Your daughter is the wench that makes clothes in Buyongjung, is that right?

What right do you think you have to consort with a wench like this?

When you're nothing but a lowly slave?

No, she's not.

If she's not, then how could this invitation that is only given to

a woman of noble birth be in the hands of a slave like you?

- That’s not what it is. - She says it's not.

Wife. She said that she isn't.

- So please stop. - This is ladies' business.

So please excuse us.

I won't interfere since it's a woman's business

but please maintain your modesty.

Do you take me for a fool?

If you ever use your tears to appeal to my husband again

I won't let you get away with it.

- Yes. - You lie with dirt, you get dirty.

If one parent is a slave, then the child is a slave as well.

No matter how much you try to trick my husband to look at your daughter favorably

I'll just drag her in here, and make her clean the outhouse.

Since this piece is usually won by wives of high ranking noblewomen

maintaining its elegance is important.

Think of Her Highness the Queen sitting in front of you

and bow your head slightly with elegance and poise.

Elegance is my middle name.

I have poise oozing out of every pore of my body.

Ok Jung!

We're ready.

Okay, just like we practiced!

As soon as the lady in front of you turns, just start taking small steps onto the stage.

Be careful not to bump into anyone as you enter and exit the dressing area.

Spread out the skirt as wide as you can.

Hyang, let's change out the ornament here.

Go.

Remember what I told you earlier about maintaining your poise.

Hang on.

To showcase the point of this outfit

you have to make sure to slightly lift up the hem of the skirt as you make your turn.

Make sure to pause in front of that woman seated in the front row.

The Madame that you see there has a keen eye.

Make sure she sees the embroidered lotus flower.

Wait.

I don't think this is right.

That hair ornament doesn't go with the color of this dress.

Hyang!

Let's trade out the hair ornament for this one.

As you take your final turn, show off the ring on your finger slightly.

So that it shows off the ring and the ornaments in your hair.

That’s the key. Okay?

This is the most important piece of the day.

The most beautiful and vibrant.

Mother, that outfit! I love the dress and the ornaments!

That’s the one I want.

Everything sold by the time the show ended.

[Jang Hyeon- Jang Ok Jung's distant cousin.]

You wench!

You are that wench... aren't you?

Lie with dirt, and you get dirty.

I'm sure you know what that phrase means.

Whether your father is an officer of not...

your mother is the lowest level of all slaves.

In that case...

If one of your parents is a slave... then their child is a slave as well.

Therefore, a wench who should be doing the laundry at my house...

dares to pretend she's something better than that?

What are you saying?

My Lady is the niece of Lord Jang, who's one of the richest men in town.

Niece?

Ladies... listen to me.

This wench's mother not only tries to lure in and seduce my husband...

but she uses her daughter to do what she can to scheme money from everyone!

Even after hearing all that...

you're still going to buy and wear clothes that this trashy wench makes?

This is unbelievable.

I can't believe I was about to buy her clothes.

This is an event I've prepared with the money I've saved up of my own.

Since you don't seem to like any of my clothes...

and since you don't seem to have any intentions of buying any of it...

I ask that you leave.

You're asking me to leave?

What are you doing just standing there?

- Tear everything down! - Yes!

I'm so excited to hear the infamous Baekeun play the lyre again.

But I heard that Baekeun is against the peace between Joseon and China

so he's not going to show up today.

That’s their problem.

When their own nation isn't at peace, how do they think they'll make peace with us?

Still no news from the Crowned Prince? [Hyun Jong- 18th King of Joseon.]

Please forgive me.

We have to appease them somehow until the treaty is signed.

How much longer is it going to be?

This is the last act, so soon...

They still haven't... agreed to the peace treaty that I proposed to them.

What am I to do if they say they're just going to leave?

- Lord Dongpyung! - Eunuch Yang!

I heard that today's event was something you and the Crowned Prince organized?

- I enjoyed the show. - Please save me.

Am I pulling a noose around your neck or something?

Please buy us some time.

What do you mean, time?

If this event ends before the Crowned Prince returns, I'll be dead.

Please.

But this isn't even mine!

A true musician isn't so choosey with the instruments he plays.

- Please just use this for now. Okay? - What are you saying?

The end may be important in life, but in a musical performance, the beginning is crucial.

If I start off by playing on a cheap instrument like this

and play a bad note, what am I supposed to do?

Who is that?

That's not Baekeun!

They're just ridiculing us.

We can't wait any longer. Let's leave right now!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

According to the book 'Shi Kyung Kook Poong'

there is a famous saying.

It states that a married couple that plays

the lyre and loquat well together will have a long and peaceful life together.

Just as the deep sounds of the lyre and the loquat compliment each other so well...

it means that the relationship between a married couple are complimentary.

Just like the beautiful sound the lyre and loquat make together

I hope that the relationship between Joseon and China can be just as beautiful.

In commemoration, I request that the Prince from China accompany me on his loquat.

The master always waits until the end to make his appearance.

Thus, I'd like to set the proper stage for Lord Baekeun's eminent appearance.

It's a musical score.

A relationship between a parent and their child is a mandate from heaven.

Usually, songs composed for the lyre do not contain lyrics.

However, your son, in an effort to show his loyalty and love for you, his father,

composed this song specifically to the words of the previous King's poem.

That’s correct. This is...

Your son who left this earth already...

It wasn't your blindness that made you abandon society and stop playing the lyre.

It was because of the agony you felt from having lost your son.

I know that's the real truth.

Where... did you find this?

After having gone blind...

I haven't been able to find it no matter how much I searched for it.

It doesn't matter even if you don't play well.

In a setting where the border disputes can be settled and peace returned to the nation...

there are people are waiting to hear you play your music with their hearts.

All it'll take... is one performance of your son's music.

If Baekeun changes his mind and comes...

Even if he comes...

he will not make it to the Palace.

We must hurry. We don't have much time.

Protect the carriage!

Who dares to block the Crowned Prince's path!

There's one more master who came through a dark and tough road to be here

to accompany Lord Dongpyung and our guest in their performance.

A man who can help create peace between Joseon and China...

Lord Baekeun.

Your path seems to be long and arduous.

Your performance could close the gap of that distance.

Do you think that one mere performance is going to bring peace between the countries?

All things starts with one step.

A battle can't be won by an army without weapons just because a banner is waved.

I guess...

How much could you know about politics when you're still so young?

It seems I need to teach you the particulars one of these days.

As far as illicit political practices that you seem so fond of engaging in...

I have no interest.

I just need to think like a king since that’s what I'll become.

What use would I have of learning the political ways of his servants?

Have you already forgotten the warning you received back then?

How dangerous it is not to have any humility towards authority?

You should keep your sword fighting for the battlefield.

You're going to dull the edges of your swords if you keep wielding them during an argument.

Since I'm sure you're already having to use them to carry out your conspiracies.

If you're speaking of conspiracies...

Her Queen Majesty is already well versed in that herself.

Then please excuse me.

Find out quietly what he's doing with Queen Mother.

I've been told that your wife's health is not well so I had my doctor prepare this.

I'm truly honored. But... why have you asked to see me?

It's about the royal nuptials.

The situation is the royal palace is leaning away from what we discussed...

What does it matter how it's accomplished?

All we need is for a queen from our party to take the throne.

- My Queen... - Yes, My Lord.

Ever since my daughter was old enough to learn how to walk...

I've raised her with the sole purpose of having her become queen of Joseon.

The truth is...

With you and the Crowned Prince having such a strained relationship...

If you're that worried...

there are ways around it.

Before he finds out that she's my daughter...

if you let him believe that she's just a possible bride to be...

Coincidence and destiny...

that’s all a mystical idea.

So are you thinking of giving in?

How are things going with you?

Am I going to get an aunt this time around?

Everything from my mother's end has already been finalized.

And things have already progressed onto the fourth stage.

Unless something unexpected happens, I think we'll get married.

She's just my type.

What is your type?

A rich heiress.

- Lord Dongpyung... - Crowned Prince...

I have something for you from Her Majesty the Queen.

It seems that a plan is in the works for you.

First phase.

And this is a letter from outside the palace.

It's an urgent letter for Lord Dongpyung.

What are we going to do?

All the clothes we had orders on were all canceled!

A rumor about us coming to a ruin is going to spread all over town in less than an hour.

What about your plans of fleeing to China with your mother

from selling all the clothes? What’s going to happen to that?

Take inventory of all our losses

and put together a list of customers we may be able to convince.

Ah... we have customers who still haven't picked up their orders yet, right?

Gather up those orders and the customer list.

I need to see if there's anything I can salvage.

Since there's loyalty from all these past years to consider

I will complete this order with you.

Wait.

Do you make men's clothing as well?

I do depending on the situation.

Come closer.

By doing that, you can buy me some time too.

I hate stepping out of the house unless I'm perfectly put together.

What if she starts wiggling her tail in front of him?

Even if she does, she'll still be nothing but a conniving fox.

Fox or a bastard child of a slave, she still doesn't count as a human being.

[Inhyeon- Future Queen Inhyeon]

Two people that met by chance up in the mountains see each other again...

Who's going to argue that coincidence isn't a work of destiny?

Stop! This is a robbery!

Out!

What is it that you want?

With the way she's dressed... she'll be worth a hundred other girls.

That’s the best you can do as a man?

Who are you!

Are you alright?

Yes. I don't know who you are, but I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

You don't owe me any gratitude.

Those guys weren't the type who could go around killing people.

If they're going to ambush anyone, they should've been armed with swords.

What were they hoping to accomplish with a bunch of wooden sticks?

I wonder... why they jumped you with wooden sticks instead of swords?

Since you've saved my life...

can you at least tell me your name?

I'm a part of the royal family. I go by the name, Dongpyung.

I knew it! You've heard of me, haven't you?

Yes.

But... who are you?

Oh my... please excuse me.

I know it's not right to ask for the name of a fine lady like yourself.

I guess I've lived in China for too long.

Then... I'll be taking my leave now.

Why am I made to go on all these blind dates?

- I am... - You’re the fiancé, aren't you?

Fiancé?

Who knows if the engagement really is going to happen?

By any chance...

Have we seen each other before?

I feel like I've seen you before somewhere.

I hear that saying a lot.

I have a very common face.

- Your face isn't common. - Then...

- Will it be okay for me to get started? - Start what?

In order to make your clothes, I have to take your measurements.

Clothes?

I'm getting clothes made?

Yes. That’s what I was told.

She wants to see how well her daughter-in-law can sew, is that it?

Can you spread out your arms?

A woman who's been raised with a silver spoon in her mouth

with a face like that, and even skills to sew...

Can you keep your arm still at your side?

Aren't you embarrassed to put your hands on a man carelessly as if he were a woman?

Just like a doctor who doesn't choose the patients he works on...

it's the same way for a dressmaker.

Dressmaker?

Please excuse me.

I was delayed in getting here because my preparations took longer than expected.

- Have you taken the measurements? - Yes.

Then four undergarments to wear underneath the coats

in colors of yellow, white, navy and blue each.

I also need a few outfits for him to wear in the royal court.

And since you never know, a nice dress robe for him as well.

Robes with smaller chest and back areas that are shorter in length is popular these days.

Would it be okay for me to make it that way?

Do what you feel is right.

Then... I will be in touch.

What do you mean, Lord Dongpyung showed up there instead of the Crowned Prince?

I have committed an unforgivable sin!

The letter I was carrying...

I don't even want to look at you. Get out of my sight!

So a plan that we worked hard to put together was all for nothing?

Isn't destiny something that comes to find you instead of you going after it?

Maybe we weren't meant to be right from the beginning.

- Is that what you think? - I'm going to wait.

The more difficult the destiny, the more reward it is, no?

Hearing what your thoughts are on this... maybe I was acting too impatiently.

I hope the medication will work for mother this time.

It really worries me.

There’s an old saying about how one can make mistakes about anything else

but not when it comes to his bride.

Maybe that was all nonsense. Who knew things would turn out like this?

Even though this time was a mistake...

but if you repeat coincidences often enough, it can turn into destiny.

This may stir up new trouble.

How about in order to avoid headaches...

one of us just gets married right now?

Just because there's an urgency

I can't just marry anyone who may not suit my taste.

But...

strangely enough, it keeps bothering me.

Are you talking about having missed the chance to see the girl of your destiny today?

Or are you speaking of the girl that you accidentally got to meet today?

Who knows...

Maybe it's both of them.

But that woman...

I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before.

I wonder where I saw her.

After the way you behaved earlier... what is this now?

It's my life's fortune.

It's double what you mentioned the last time.

Madam...

- This isn't going to get you anywhere. - But Madam...

You told me the last time that you'd let my mother go if I bring you this amount.

How can you do this to me every time?

You think I'm keeping that wench here because I want to keep her with me?

- Then why... - That's because...

If you're that curious... why don't you ask your rich uncle about it?

They say that the older a woman gets, the greedier she becomes for wealth and money.

And thanks to you, I feel so reassured.

Then...

you're saying that it was my uncle who was doing this every single time?

The riot that broke out at the show...

I know that you were behind it.

Are you the one who stopped my every attempt to free my mother from her slavery?

You seem to be misunderstood about something.

Why would I do that?

No matter what you do...

I want to live together with my mother.

I'm sure you know yourself that living with your slave mother

would mean that you'll be living a shameful life along with her.

Do you think you can handle that?

I can...

not handle that.

Therefore...

I'm going to take my mother and leave Joseon, and move to China to make a living there.

I've already sent a letter to my brother in China to let him know of the plan.

You’re going to open up a business in China?

Do you have the funds for it?

You caused the riot because you knew this would happen, right?

You knew that if I sold everything through the show I had...

You knew I'd leave for China. That’s why you did it, right?

You've always wanted to keep me close by in your shadows.

But when I begged you and reasoned with you each of those times...

you let me go...

and you even found my long lost brother for me.

But...

why do you act like this whenever I try to flee to China with my mother?

I guess it's time for me to tell you now.

There’s something...

that I'd like to get accomplished along with your help.

Would you like to take over Joseon with me?

You can have everything you want... and I'll get my revenge.

Uncle...

How can you think of something so...

- What can a worthless girl like me do? - No, no, no...

You're definitely not worthless.

You’re the one and only person who can make my dream become a reality.

You're the only one who can take the place of my Hong Joo...

to make my dreams a reality.

If you're saying...

you want me to take Hong Joo's place...

Is that your aspiration?

You’ve used your daughter, Hong Joo, to turn her into a court lady...

and now me...

I've been preparing for a long time.

But the time has now come.

So Ok Jung...

No.

I will not become a part of your ambition...

or join hands with you on anything.

So just keep that in mind.

Ok Jung!

Jang Ok Jung, where are you?

[Seven years ago]

How can you be so fearless and walk around like this when you should be hiding in the attic?

- Hong Joo, look at the trumpet creepers. - Is this your first time seeing them?

These flowers are spread all over our house.

But this type of flower is only allowed to be planted at a wealthy man's home.

You know how much my father likes to boast about his money.

I don’t like trumpet creepers because the legend behind it is too sad.

Why is it sad when the flower looks so pretty?

There once lived a court lady named Seo Hwa at the royal palace.

Beautiful and kind hearted Seo Hwa... she soon found the favor of a king.

But... it was just for one night.

Seo Hwa was transferred to the most rural sector of her jurisdiction...

and the king ultimately forgot about her.

- Then what happened? - But Seo Hwa...

She started missing the king more and more...

so she stood around the wall every day hoping to get a glimpse of him.

Then she became so sick from the heartache...

and after having left a request to be buried by the wall... she died.

The poor thing.

Not long after Seo Hwa's death...

a flower that looked just like her bloomed by the wall.

And that flower is said to be the trumpet creeper.

That's... the fate of court ladies.

Court ladies'... fate?

Unless a special notice is taken of you...

you just slowly start to die a lonely death.

I thought that palace was an amazing place to be.

But it sounds like such a sad place.

Is that what's going to happen to you?

Since you're a court lady too.

I...

The truth is...

I'm in love with another man, and not the king.

Really?

I'm not going to wait around like Seo Hwa did.

Because the most important thing is what my heart wants.

That’s what I want to do too!

But we're always getting chased around by the bounty hunters

and I have to keep hiding in that suffocating attic room.

I'm too scared.

You can have this. I made it.

It's so pretty!

I can really have this?

I really wanted to go to the sector where I could sew with others...

but father forced me to go to where the king has his residence.

I think it’s time for me to head back to the palace.

You said the shift change doesn't start until tomorrow.

The truth is... there's someone I have to go see.

What did you say?

Prince Boksun slept with a court lady?

Yes. I heard it's absolute chaos right now.

How can this be?

Prince Boksun finally got himself into trouble.

After coming and going as he pleases out of the palace because of the Dowager's favor...

But...

Which court lady is it?

I heard it's one of the court ladies that recently came into the palace.

It's Officer Jang Hyun's daughter.

If it's Officer Jang's daughter...

we've got a good one here.

I couldn't stand to see Prince Boksun walking around the palace...

But this would be like killing two birds with one stone.

But...

Who’s the investigator?

She fainted.

Wake her up.

Don't you want to end this agony?

Prince Boksun... seduced you, didn't he?

No, he didn't.

He's never done that.

Then how could you as a woman who belongs to His Majesty

fornicate with a member of the royal family!

My Lord never even glanced in my direction.

I was the one who followed him around, and I'm the one who seduced him.

- Please just kill me. - Listen to this wench...

Keep torturing and questioning her until she starts to tell the truth!

- Yes. - Stop it!

Have you ever seen a person become intimate by themselves?

We seduced each other, and we both shared the intimacy.

I'll pay for my share of the responsibility, so please...

So please stop what you're doing!

Are you planning on going against the royal command?

I was aware that you were on house arrest until you were given your punishment.

No, he hasn't done anything wrong. I was the only one who seduced him.

Neither this woman or I have ever insulted the King's honor!

Whether it was a simple show of affection, or whether it was an illicit affair...

We'll know once we interrogate the girl.

What are you doing? Either beat her or brand her with the poker...

get her to confess to her sins!

Yes!

Hong Joo... Hong Joo!

Hong Joo!

Hong Joo!

Hong Joo!

No, no... this isn't enough.

He's one of the greediest bastards I know.

I need to gather more.

The money I mentioned... get the money!

Five times the amount... I need you to bring five times the amount.

Gather up ten times the amount if you need to.

What is all this ruckus?

I think the officers are at the gate.

Brother... please save us.

Please save us just this once!

If you wished... you could emancipate my wife.

Emancipate her?

Where would you go in your weak state?

In a land where the children of a slave mother also counts as slaves...

you're the one who turned your own children into slaves.

And now you're asking me to free you!

Brother... please, brother!

Please save us.

Even if you couldn't be an aristocrat...

with your noble family background...

it wasn't enough for you to humiliate the family by marrying a low slave girl

and now you're bringing the palace guards into our family?

My daughter's life is already hanging on the balance.

Don't cause any more harm, and get out of my sight.

Brother!

- Brother... - If that’s how you truly feel...

couldn't you at least save our children?

Please.

Mother, I'm fine.

So please don’t cry.

Open up the back door.

It's been decided that your family will not be accepted by any family ever again.

So don't ever... come around here again.

Father... how long do we have to run like this for?

Even if it's for the sake of you and our kids...

we can't keep being chased like this forever.

I think we need to go see my friend, Kang.

Are you speaking of your friend from your childhood?

Let's separate. I promise to come find you and mother.

No, Hee Jae.

Hee Jae!

Hee Jae!

Father...

I'm sorry.

You foolish girl.

How could you have done something so foolish!

Hong Joo, just a little bit longer...

Try to endure it just a bit longer.

It's not from lack of wealth that people can't get by...

but because of lack of decree.

Since you're the investigating officer in my daughter's case...

Court lady Hong Joo, who's turned the palace upside down...

is your daughter?

You should've told me sooner that she was your daughter.

My Lord...

I'm so grateful for hearing you say that.

You think I don't know that you and Prince Boksun are plotting a conspiracy?

I have no intentions of plotting anything like that behind your back.

Do you know what I hate more than the fact that you brought me this bribe money?

In this world...

there's such a thing as an order and rank.

Just as there stands a difference between heaven and earth

there is a difference in rank in Joseon.

Difference between nobility and commoners.

But your lowly daughter shared her body with someone of royal bloodline.

That is unforgivable!

But because you think you have some money, you bring it to me like this...

and ask me to forgive her for causing a disruption to natural order...

just because she's your daughter?

My Lord... before all that, she's still a person.

- A person's affection... - Your thought process itself is wrong.

The distinction in a person's position comes first

and after that... the person themselves exists.

Secretary Kim!

Get that filth out of here!

You foolish girl... I told you to hold out just a bit longer.

Hong Joo!

Hong Joo!

Anyone home?

Is anyone home?

What's all this noise in the middle of the night? [Lord Kang's wife]

I've come to see Lord Kang.

If you tell him that Jang is here, I'm sure he'll agree to see me.

My husband is deceased.

You say that you're his friend, but you didn't even know that?

It seems that you're in trouble. Would you like to come in for a moment?

- What is it, Mother? - Take these people and go to the back.

I'll go see if there's any food for them.

[Hyun Chi Soo]

This way.

- Let's go this way. - Wait!

I had a dream last night that I stepped on a pile of crap and tracked it around...

- I guess my dream about the crap was true. - Listen...

Don't you have kids of your own?

Please... please let us go just this once!

We do have kids of our own.

And in order to feed and take care of them, we have to take you in to do that.

- Husband! - Father!

- Husband! - Come here!

What are you doing!

That’s enough!

What is this that you're doing in my home!

- Move out of my way! - Mother!

Mother!

Please... please save us.

Husband! Husband!

Get up!

Take me instead.

Please let my daughter go.

Please, I'm begging you!

- Mother... - Please, let my child go!

Father!

There's no way you can take her from me.

Here.

This is proof of Ok Jung's freedom!

My Ok Jung is no longer a slave.

I've saved up every penny I have to buy my Ok Jung's freedom.

Ok Jung... has no relations to her mother, and is registered to my side of the family.

She's my daughter.

So unless I sell her off... there's no way that you can take her!

Unless I sell her...

no one can take Ok Jung away!

Husband!

- Father! Father! - Husband!

- Husband! - Father!

Bring her.

- Husband... Husband! - Come!

- My Ok Jung... - Mother!

- Mother... Mother! - My Ok Jung!

Mother!

- Mother! - My Ok Jung...

- Please take care of my Ok Jung. - Mother!

My Ok Jung...

- Ok Jung! - Mother!

You'll see her again.

Mother...

Father! Father, are you okay?

Father!

Father...

Father... Father!

My child has gone to fetch the doctor, so please hold on a little bit longer.

Yes, Father. Please hold on.

Father... what’s wrong?

You're scaring me.

My baby...

You poor thing.

No, Father.

If you go like this... what’s going to happen to me?

Doctor! Please save my father!

Father!

Promise... that you'll find your mother.

And your brother as well.

Father!

Father!

Father... Father!

Father!

Father...

Seven years, you say?

That’s correct.

Revenge is at its best when it's served cold and at the right moment...

so what's the use of rushing it?

Revenge is best served... at its cruelest moment?

But since time is too precious to waste it all on plotting our revenge...

I'm also going to focus all my energy on building up your camp.

Have you lost your mind?

What do you mean, build up my camp?

Isn't this... what you've been dreaming of all your life?

Are you really... going to plan a rebellion?

There's no need to go as far as a rebellion.

As long as Dowager Queen Jo and Prince Lee Soon don't get in our way...

- The next in line for the throne... - You are out of line.

If we attempt that, that could be the death of us.

Just like an already dead pig doesn't fear the boiling water

what would a father who's already lost his child be afraid of?

I will provide all the funding you need. But...

promise me one thing.

A promise?

Someone of my bloodline which carries the blood of a slave...

allow her to give birth to the child who can one day take the throne.

But your daughter no longer exists in this world.

But I do have another child of my bloodline.

Even though she's not my daughter, she is of my family and my bloodline.

Please make sure that you allow me to have that child carry out my wish.

Who... is that child?

What are you doing?

Making my father's clothing.

Something he can wear into his next life.

You...

made his burial clothes?

Please forgive me.

I used the things over there without your permission.

Have you ever made this before?

I've never seen it being made...

but I tried to remember seeing my grandfather wearing it when he passed.

So I just tried making it.

The first clothing you ever made is burial clothes for your father.

Okay... let's dress him up in this, and send him off in peace to his rest.

Father.

Are you Jang Ok Jung?

Subtitles by DramaFever

When she is of my own bloodline, how can I leave her in care of a stranger?

Aren't you even embarrassed?

Why would I be embarrassed?

- I'm just looking at what I want. - So did you kiss her or not?

Don’t you need to be married before you kiss someone?

Are we going to meet again?

I have something very important to do, so I'll come back as soon as I'm done.

Let's meet back here at the same time.
