Crown Princess? Crown Princess, are you outside?
Is someone out there?
Can someone come in here?
Is there anyone out there? Come in here now!
Anyone?
Can't anyone hear me?
I said, come in!
Is something wrong?
Your Majesty.
Tell me.
What happened?
Crown Prince...
Answer me right now!
What happened?
Crown Princess?
Crown Princess... Crown Princess...
Release me. Let go!
Crown Princess!
What are you doing there?
Crown Princess?
Crown Princess!
Let go of me! Crown Princess! Crown Princess! Crown Princess!
Crown Prince.
Yes, Father.
The ministers are all getting very anxious for you to marry.
Fine then. Crown Prince, what type of bride would you like to marry?
I would like to marry a beautiful one.
What?
Your Highness, forgive your disrespectful servant,
but are you saying that you only care if she is pretty?
I think that if she's pretty, then I will want to see her every day.
Father,
after she becomes the Crown Princess, I do not think letting her stay in her room alone would be good.
What did you say? Stay in her room alone?
Eonni! Eonni! Hwa Yong eonni! (Eonni - older sister)
Bu Yong, what are you so excited about?
Eonni, the whole city is bustling.
The king has posted the marriage ban and ordered applications for the list of young maidens.
Really?
Then, that is to select the Crown Princess.
That's right.
Do you know why it is so lively in the courtyard?
The rumor is that our father will become the father-in-law of the Crown Prince.
So, everyone is sending congratulatory presents.
If our father becomes the Crown Prince's father-in-law,
then that means that one of us will become the Crown Princess.
Which one of us will become the Crown Princess?
Don't be silly.
Of course it will be you.
If eonni becomes the Crown Princess... Ah! Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Because of your good luck, I will get to see the palace.
Bu Yong,
If I really become the Crown Princess,
I'll summon you to the Palace every day. We'll eat tasty snacks and wear pretty clothes.
I wonder what the Crown Prince looks like.
You have probably already heard about it.
Our family will also submit an application for Crown Princess.
Before you are chosen to enter the palace, you must be extremely careful about everything you do.
In becoming the Crown Princess, you are responsible for the family's honor.
You must keep this in mind at all times.
I wanted you to know that Bu Yong will also be submitted for the list.
My lord,
did you just say Bu Yong?
That is correct.
Bu Yong will also be entered in the selection for the Crown Princess.
Father.
Hwa Yong, listen.
Yes, Father.
I would like you to make every effort to help your sister prepare to enter the palace.
Do you understand?
Yes, Father.
Pak Ha.
You must be Pak Ha, right?
Pak Ha, quickly say hello.
Hello.
You're Se Na, right?
Mom, I want some of that ice cream.
Okay.
Excuse me!
Umm... Pak Ha.
From now on, we're a family.
This is Se Na eonni.
Call her "eonni".
When your father and I go to work, didn't we tell you to keep an eye on the child?
Nearly set the house on fire.
Who told you that you could cook ramen by yourself?
If you touch the gas burner again, you'll be in big trouble.
I told you to watch her!
Is this your sister? Open the backpack.
What's wrong with my sister?
I asked you to open the backpack.
We don't want to. What are you doing?
This child, really!
I said I don't want to!
- Hurry up and open it! Open it! - I don't want to.
Hey, what's all this?
What is all this?
I don't know, eonni.
I really don't know.
How dare you steal things?
Are you a thief?
Tell me! Did you steal it?
- I don't know. It wasn't me. - Why did you steal?
I don't know.
You brat. You had better not do such a thing again.
What will you be when you grow up... I wonder.
I'll go buy you some milk.
Wait here for me.
Eonni! Eonni! Eonni! Eonni...
Eonni I'm here! Eonni...
Eonni look over here... Eonni...
No. Let's try the other dress.
Let's try this pair of embroidered shoes too.
The hair ribbon...
Which hair ribbon do you think would be the best, Hwa Yong?
For the hair ribbon... I think this one is best.
No... Let me think about it.
That's right. Hwa Yong, don't you still have the hair ribbon that the Song family sent you last autumn?
That one should be very suitable.
Hwa Yong, quickly go and get that hair ribbon.
Mother,
we don't need to bother with that.
These are good enough, Mother.
No, Crown Princess.
The Crown Prince is looking for a beautiful wife.
If you are going to be the Crown Princess,
then you should want to be beautiful, right?
Eonni, I am coming in.
Come in.
Eonni, let's eat dried persimmons.
They brought the skirt for you to wear on the selection day.
I would like to personally iron it, just like this one.
Thank you, eonni.
You were sad today because of the hair ribbon.
No, I wasn't. I'm fine.
Eonni.
Tomorrow our applications will be submitted, right?
The day has come so quickly.
Eonni, we don't have much time until we're separated.
It will be hard. What can we do?
Just like we said last time,
I will invite you to the palace every day.
We will eat delicious food together.
We can enjoy all the nice things together, eonni.
Eonni, eat a dried persimmon while you do that. Here.
No, you eat first.
No, you should eat first.
I said you eat it first.
What?! How can such a thing happen? How could it?
What exactly were you doing then?
The scar will remain on that child's face forever!
Oh dear, what should we do?
What should I do?
Be quiet!
Go tell them to bring the maiden application here.
We have to put Hwa Yong's name on the list.
Even the butterflies have been deceived.
Our Crown Princess' embroidery skills are superb.
Even the butterflies think it is a real flower.
It even looks like the butterfly could come to life and fly.
There is no stopping the surging of emotions.
Mok-Dan-Ham-Ro-Jin-Ju-Gua.
The tree peony with hanging drops of pearl.
Mi-In-Jeol-Duk-Chan-Jun-Gwa.
The bride was passing by a window and picked a peony with her hand.
Crown Princess, you should respond with the next line.
Ah...
Ham-So-Moon-Dal-Lang.
Hwa-Gang-Cheon-Mo-Gang.
With a slight smile at the bridegroom, she asked...
am I prettier than the flower?
Is that your answer, sister-in-law?
Dan-Lang-Go-Sang-Hee Gang-Do-Hwa-Gee-Ho.
Playfully, the groom said...
The flower is prettier than you.
Me-In-Tu-Hwa-Seung Dab-Hwa-Hwa-Ji-Do.
The bride became jealous because he said the flower was more beautiful.
She stepped on the flower and said...
Hwa-Hwak-Seung-Eo-Cheop. If the flower is more beautiful than I,
Geum-So-Hwa-Dong-Suk. Then just sleep with the flower tonight.
You are an unmarried maiden, sister-in-law.
How can you be reading erotic poems?
I am afraid, Your Highness,
it is because I am humble and of poor virtue. Please punish me.
I was just kidding.
It's because teasing you is so much fun.
Your Highness, what flowers are blooming at Bu Yong Pond? I'm very curious.
Is that so?
We will go to Bu Yong Pond.
Your Majesty, look at that flower.
Sister-in-law, I have another riddle.
This time, it will not be easy to solve.
If you figure out the answer within two days, I will reward you.
Do you understand, sister-in-law?
Yes, Your Highness.
What dies despite living,
and lives despite dying?
What dies despite living and lives despite dying?
Crown Princess, can you answer the riddle?
I may know, but I'm not sure. It's a bit vague.
Crown Princess, you won't know it.
You don't know it.
Listen to my orders.
Be certain to protect the Crown Princess' body.
Make sure that she is treated with honor.
Wrap her well in silk.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Guards on my left and guards on my right, listen well.
As of now...
Find out if there are any witnesses who saw the Crown Princess go outside last night.
Seal the area and do not allow anyone to leave. Guard it well.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Everything that is within our chambers,
every water cup, every spoon...
No one is to touch anything.
Preserve everything.
Yes, Your Majesty.
How dare you... inside this country's palace...
take the life of the Crown Princess?
I will surely
find who murdered the Crown Princess. And this way,
I will personally rip that person to shreds.
Someone must have helped the murderer.
I will flay them alive.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
It's a thief!
Stop right there! Or I'm going to kick your ass!
You guys are so dead.
Oh my god!
What should I do?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Tae Yong, are you all right? - Are you okay?
Are you both Korean?
Oh, yes.
He'll be alright.
I'm sorry.
But more importantly, over there...
You punks, you...
You're stealing again!
Stop right there!
Are you okay, Tae Yong?
Where have you been?
I heard that you're too busy with work to come home.
Where is it exactly that you work?
How is grandmother?
She talks about you all day.
Isn't that her?
The apple girl?
Do you know her?
No. I was waiting for you,
and I thought she was pretty.
Wow, that's the first time I ever heard you call someone pretty.
- Hazel. - Hi! - You have a day off tomorrow, right?
You want to go catch a movie?
Yeah, but I changed my timetable with Betty's, so I'm taking the next day off.
That's too bad.
Next time then.
Okay.
- Take care now. Bye bye. - Bye.
- Thanks. - It looks good.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
Tae Yong.
Just now that apple girl said she has a day off on the day after tomorrow.
Ask her out.
How did you find that out?
That's why I'm the professional.
Didn't you say she was pretty? Ask her out.
Hey, here she comes.
Oh, right. I reserved a yacht for tomorrow to do some sketching of New York.
Do you want to go with me?
Yes, yes.
Yes. Now I can hear you better.
I'm sorry. Please go ahead.
What?
Is that true?
You didn't make a mistake?
I'm going to Korea. I'm going to Korea!
Did you find your lost father?
That's right.
I found my father. I just got a call from Korea!
- Oh my god! Oh my god! - Oh my god! Oh my god!
Tae Yong, it's grandmother calling.
Don't answer it. I'll call her later.
Hey. How can you not answer?
I said, don't answer it.
She told me to bring you back to Seoul for sure this time.
Just tell her you couldn't find me.
Grandmother...
or I should call her "Chairman"? The Chairman seems determined to leave her position.
Then why does she want to bring me in? I don't know anything about the business.
The company has my uncle. They also have you, hyeong.
It's not mine. It's not mine or my father's.
Tae Yong, the company is your family business.
Don't take that so seriously, hyeong. We are all one family.
It's depressing to hear you say things like that.
You and I are half-cousins.
My rights as your cousin are only 50%.
- Hyeong... - Tae Yong, the chairman is your grandmother, not mine.
I can't call her grandmother. I have never called her that.
To the chairman, my father is a disgrace and a needle in her eye,
because her husband had an affair and an illegitimate son.
So that's why the company is your family business!
I told you, I'm tired of hearing you say things like that!
You don't need to say that.
Then make it so I don't have to say it.
Don't make me sit 14 hours on a plane to run errands!
Just stop it!
Tae Yong! Tae Yong!
Thank you.
What are you doing?
I'll take some pictures for you.
Let me take one of you.
Forget it.
Tae Mu! Tae Mu!
Did you have a good trip?
Why are you like this all of a sudden?
Just... stay like this for a moment.
What? Missing?
Mother! What's wrong?
Mother! Mother!
Please come sit down.
How can he be missing?
My Tae Yong. How can he be missing? Explain to me how he can be missing.
Chairman, it's too early to say he is missing.
You, yourself, said he was missing.
Mother, it's just that my son, Tae Mu, couldn't reach him in New York.
For five days, he did not see him and wasn't able to contact him. That's why he said that.
So, it would be better to report it to the police in New York.
Tae Mu, didn't you speak to him on the phone before you went there?
Yes, Manager. I did.
However, Tae Yong didn't show up at the place we had arranged.
His phone was turned off and he never came home.
His friends have no idea where he is either.
What should we do?
Tae Yong will be okay, won't he?
Chairman, I will send someone to America right away.
This matter should be handled by experts.
Yes, that's right. Hurry and do it quickly.
Yes, Chairman.
Are you from America, Miss Pak Ha?
Yes, that's me. Hello.
Hello.
According to the genetic testing, you really are his daughter.
Good. Then, can you tell me where my father is now?
Well, the thing is...
Although we were able to contact you in America,
we weren't able to contact your father.
You weren't able to contact him yet?
Well, what I mean is...
Is it possible that my father doesn't want to meet me?
I've heard that may happen in this type of situation.
Is that it?
I'm sure that's not the case.
In order to find his lost daughter, he registered with the genetic database.
Surely he very much wanted to see his daughter.
But... as of now...
Now... What's wrong?
Father.
Where have you been all this time?
I told you that you have to be the chief mourner.
Where have you been for the whole day?
Do you want people to say that you're a bad daughter?
I said I had something urgent.
I didn't know you were so devoted to the company.
Then why have none of your colleagues come to pay their respects?
My name is Hong. Father's name is Pak. Do you want me to be embarrassed at my company?
Weren't there also some others...
You can't be saying things like that, girl.
Who is that and why is she crying so much?
Oh, that poor kid.
Who is she?
Mom, I asked you who she is.
You don't even recognize her?
It's Pak Ha, Pak Ha.
That looks fine.
Yes.
We haven't seen each other in almost 15 years, but it's not a happy occasion.
First, we need to handle the funeral.
- We'll talk about everything later. - Okay.
You really don't remember anything?
At that time, you were about 9 years old.
At that age, you should have at least known your father's name and address.
Why weren't you ever able to find your father?
Do you see this scar here?
It was a large wound,
but now it's become smaller.
They said it was a car accident.
I only remember that I stayed in the hospital for a very long time.
Aigoo. So there was an accident.
But how did you get into a car accident? This is really...
Se Na,
when we were looking for her then, we tried so many things.
It turns out we couldn't find her because of a car accident.
Mom, is this the time to talk about that?
Oh, right. I think the people from the marketplace will be here.
Child, you can help serve the food and organize the shoes.
We have a small family, so there's not enough help.
Yes.
So, you really don't remember?
When we were young, I used to play with you a lot.
When my mother and your father went together to work at the marketplace,
I took care of you at home.
I really don't remember any of it.
Really?
That's good. It's probably a bad memory.
Forgive your disrespectful servant, Your Highness.
How could it be a murder case?
Who would dare to murder the Crown Princess inside the palace?
Prime Minister,
If it was not a murder, then why was the Crown Princess found drowned in Bu Yong Pond?
Tell me why that is!
This surely is a murder case.
Who in the world would have a reason to kill the Crown Princess?
I cannot think of a reason.
I will find out that reason.
The Crown Prince also knows very well,
that when the Crown Princess cannot sleep, she will often go out for a walk.
Unfortunately, she must have lost her footing near the pavilion and fallen in.
Please do not disgrace the Crown Princess any more, Your Majesty.
Please reconsider, Your Majesty.
This does not make any sense!
If she went out in the middle of the night for a walk, surely her servants were following her.
If she really fell into Bu Yong Pond, why didn't anyone save her?
Your servant, Police Chief Hong Nak Hyun, is here.
Please come in.
Your Majesty,
I have found the two palace maids who followed the Crown Princess last night.
Tell me what they said.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Last night, the Crown Princess was unable to sleep, so she went out to the Bu Yong Pavilion to enjoy the view.
The two palace maids became distracted.
When they came back to find the Crown Princess, she had already fallen in.
So, these two palace maids were frightened and fled the palace after that.
They should die.
Your Majesty, I am afraid that these two palace maids are already dead.
How? How did they die?
We had arrested them and were bringing them back, but they tried to escape and were killed by the soldiers in the pursuit.
They received their just punishment, Your Majesty.
Furthermore, they also admitted their guilt, so there is not the slightest doubt.
Their great failure in performing their duties is to blame for this tragedy, Your Majesty.
A fair judgment, Your Majesty.
Very well.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Song Man Bo. This year he will be 22 years old.
Although he was a child prodigy, since he is an illegitimate son, he cannot sit for the government exam.
So, he can't hold a government office or title.
He stopped studying the classics and immersed himself in an immoral lifestyle.
Languages, medicine, astronomy, geography, engineering... There is nothing he is not proficient in.
Is that correct?
Thank you for the compliment,
but I am still very inexperienced.
Last year you solved the murder case of 3 prostitutes in Pyongyang.
Is this true?
It is true, Your Majesty.
There is another murder case.
U Yong Sul.
He found and killed the nobleman who had murdered his mother and raped his sister.
He killed all 7 guards of that nobleman, and then 9 more who pursued him.
Why did you learn to use a sword?
I wanted to protect the common people and protect the nation.
I am the nation.
Are you able to protect me?
Do Chi San.
He came into the palace as a eunuch,
but he became too intimate with the ladies and was expelled from the palace.
He knows about men and understands women.
He understands a lot about people in general.
He works in Joseon's largest brothel.
From what goes on in the palace to the bedroom, there's nothing that he doesn't know.
What are the rumors?
Did the Crown Princess drown from a fall or was she murdered?
Is it an accident case or a homicide case?
Song Man Bo.
You will have a special appointment to the palace school as the secretary of education.
Do Chi San.
I appoint you as the palace eunuch. This is a special appointment.
U Yong Sul.
I appoint you as my personal bodyguard. This is a special appointment.
That night, I had food brought in.
The Crown Princess and I had a conversation.
Oh, today...
There was nothing particularly special about that night.
We had a drink together.
I complained about the difficulties I was having with the scholars.
Ah, I forgot. Sister-in-law came in then.
She said she had solved my riddle and had come to see me even though it was late.
What brings you here this late?
Your Highness, I have solved the puzzle.
Is that so? Then what is the answer?
She solved the riddle.
After that, she left. I drank another cup and then fell asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night and did not see the Crown Princess.
Your Majesty.
What have you found?
Your Majesty, if, as you say, the Crown Princess may have been poisoned,
it's likely she would have still been able to walk from her chambers to the pond as usual.
It takes some time for poison to be distributed through the body.
We can speculate that she walked here,
because the poison had time to spread before she fell into the water.
Your Majesty,
I was able to find someone who sells poisons on the black market.
Although I was able to find his nest, he was already dead when I got there.
I was told that he mainly sells arsenic.
Arsenic. A white powdery poison.
Your Majesty,
it was the dried persimmons.
That night there were dried persimmons on the table.
The white powder on dried persimmons and arsenic are difficult to tell apart.
Are you saying the persimmons were sprinkled with arsenic powder?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
What happened?
Quickly tell us what has happened!
I have heard there are rumors of a poisoning.
Don't tell me that was a normal death.
-I heard she was poisoned. - I heard that too.
Your Majesty, there was someone who saw the Crown Princess outside that night.
What? Who is it? Who are they?
I was able to find where he lives.
Where is it?
Let's go. Let's go find that person immediately!
Are you sure this is the place?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He definitely said this was the place.
Your Majesty!
Hey, Pak Ha.
Yes, mother?
You came to Korea 2 years ago and you've already opened your own shop.
I guess you've done pretty well for yourself.
It's just a very small shop.
Besides, it was opened with borrowed money.
Aigoo... Our Se Na takes out loans to buy high-heeled shoes and handbags.
Mother, your arms and legs hurt. Just go have a good rest.
Do you always have to work?
You scared me.
Don't sneak up on me.
Hey! Do you ever offer to help me when my arms and legs are hurting?
That girl is as cold as a frozen fish.
Eonni, if you're busy, then call me.
I can drop mom at home on my way.
What? Then why didn't you give me a call?
Mother, let's hurry and go home. I'm really dead tired.
After I drop you off, I just want to go to bed.
I know, you poor thing.
Pak Ha,
finish up the cleaning, then go home and get a good rest.
Yes.
Hurry and give me a hand.
Rest well, mother.
Take care, eonni.
Support me better.
You... You... Who are you guys?
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
-=(Korean Folk Village)=-
-=Busan 2=-
We have travelled 300 years in the world. How do we accept that?
Where is this exactly?
This is the Crown Prince!
That way.
Filming is over, so hurry up and leave!
What is this bright light?
You guys are all... crazy?
Don't you think the living standard is much better here than Joseon?
You can't come here.
Please calm your anger, Your Majesty.
He wants to bring his girlfriend along.
Crown Princess!
It's me! Crown Princess! Crown Princess!
I will make this rooftop my residence.
