Episode 7
How embarrassing...
Jae Kang, it's...
Please sit.
Ok.
Do you like Jae Ha?
Thank you, Ms. Kim Hang Ah.
And I'm very sorry.
You must have gone through a lot because of him.
No, it's okay.
If you get engaged, it will get harder.
We don't know enough about each other, but we presume we do.
People will judge and attack you. Will you be okay?
How about if I share some of that burden until we get used to it?
Until Jae Ha comes to his senses, I'll protect you.
I'm the king. I'm pretty powerful.
I will be the right shield for you.
Am I good enough?
It's good because it's you.
Please tell me. Do you like my daughter?
Do you like her or are you just having fun?
Ummm...
We drank too much.
So when South Korean royalty drink, everything gets loosened up?
No, that's not what I meant.
As you saw, this is mutual.
Mutual?
I already know how my daughter feels.
And you, Prince Lee Jae Ha, do you like my daughter or not?
I see. I will report this.
The South Korean prince got drunk and with his animal instinct,
belittled the North Korean reputation.
No, it's not that.
The royal family has announced the engagement of,
Prince Lee Jae Ha and North Korean Kim Hang Ah.
A month after the engagement talk began,
it was announced that Ms. Kim Hang Ah will enter the palace and remain in the South.
This will be great for the economy. There'll be much profit in tourism as well as food and beverage.
When looking at the South-North relationship, this looks like it will be hard.
After coming here with a special Visa, Ms. Kim will go through 3 months of training in the royal palace.
She will be the first Korean to hold a dual citizenship, and willl be engaged to Prince Lee Jae Ha.
Meanwhile, the citizens show mixed reactions to the historical North-South engagement.
Both Prince Lee Jae Ha and Ms. Kim Hang Ah were born in the year of the pig.
They are a very good match.
The girl is bad news.
There's fire all around her.
She will not only burn herself, she will burn down everything around her.
The man must help, but he's got no ability.
The two should never be together.
It's time for your departure.
Your daughter is inside. You should go and say goodbye.
Why are you doing this? Please stand up.
Your highness, I don't know the ways of the South Koreans.
I don't know if this is the proper way.
This isn't the age of the Cho Sun. You don't have to...
Once you get to know her, my daughter is someone you can sympathize with.
Her mother died as soon as she was born, and she never received her love.
She set the table at meal times and cleaned around the house.
She was charming and loving. She was my daughter, my son.
She was my everything.
I'm not taking sides. She'll learn your ways quickly.
Whatever you do, follow the ways of the South Koreans.
From now on, you're a South Korean.
I'm sorry, Father.
Father...
Congratulations to Prince Lee Jae Ha and Ms. Kim Hang Ah.
Prince, we hear you are getting engaged. We wish...
Your highness, everyone is gathered.
How is the food?
It's delicious.
Mother, doesn't the rice have a nice scent?
It was special rice sent from the North.
Oh, it has a delicious scent.
But they shouldn't have. They don't even have money.
Mom...
That's right. We know your financial situation.
Did they receive the 100 refrigerators that we sent?
I'm sure that's the only thing that's noticeable in the house.
Sparkle, sparkle...
Fine, I got it. Stop kicking me.
I know your last name is Kim. What line of Kim are you?
Mother, they don't have family name lines in North Korea.
Oh right, I guess that's possible.
You really don't have one?
But we still hold ceremonies for our ancestors.
We just feel there's too much prejudice in looking at family lines.
I see. It's bad to be prejudiced about your lineage.
But we don't have exercises like "Early Morning Star Watching" or anything like that.
I heard of them for the first time when I came here.
Exercise and forced labor... Isn't that the same thing over there?
Mom, isn't she scary?
No, she's not scary. I wouldn't be scared of my daughter-in-law.
Mom, she's really silly.
Mom really likes girls like that.
Mother, I really like your impression.
You have great complexion,
and you have such a stingy heart.
What did you just say? Stingy?
Why is my mom stingy?
She's outgoing and optimistic...
Oh, I see. It must be a North Korean expression.
You see mom? She's really silly.
She's someone that will be my daughter-in-law.
How can she laugh at her mistake?
Can't you imagine how lonely she is here? We must be extra good to her.
I'm sorry. I'll send her somewhere else.
Where is Ms. Kim Hang Ah?
Then the fee that I will receive, will come in here?
It's not really a fee. It's more of a wage.
When you get a job, your pay will go into your account.
Why do that?
You can leave the money in a safe or underneath an iron board.
Is it because someone might steal it?
There is an issue of safety, but if you use a bank account,
you can get a good interest rate and tax benefits.
We take care of the Royal Family finances in hopes of expanding the money.
Expand the money?
It's just an expression. You receive interest.
What is interest?
What you receive in return for lending money.
For example, if you put in the money at 5% interest rate...
What kind of paper is that?
This is a cashier's check.
Cashier's check?
-10,000 won. -Yes. I've seen that before.
And this is 50,000 won. This bill hasn't been around for long.
-Who's that lady there? -Shin Saim Dang.
Ah, I know who she is.
She's the mother of Yul Gok who criticized the feudal system.
And what's this?
Cashier's check?
You are working hard.
Please sit.
It's like you are in 3rd year of high school.
What's that?
Means you are studying hard.
It must be hard because the North-South are so different.
Yes, but I'll try my bloody best.
One way to overcome your mistake is not to talk.
This is a place that receives a lot of people's attention.
Until you know everything, you should stay quiet...
You mean not say anything?
No, I'm just saying you should be careful.
Why are you taking it that way?
Am I asking too much?
No, I just... I don't even know what's right and what's wrong.
I'm not sure what I can say, and what I can't say.
I'm saying that you shouldn't say anything if you feel you're going to make a mistake.
Fine. Talk if you want.
Cheers.
One more bottle, please.
Instead of soju, we'll get more soup.
Why? Why?
I'm sorry. I'm gonna go home. I'll call you when I'm home.
-Fine. Bye. -Bye.
Let's go.
You know there's a castle nearby?
I'll meet you there. Start when I count to 3.
1..2..
How can you start at 2. That's cheating.
I lost. Wait...
1..2..3... 1..2..3...
You know there's a shooting star tonight. We should look at it together.
Come up.
Hurry.
Oh... It's falling.
-Quick, make a wish. -That's all superstition. Nothing will...
You don't think I know. Just pretend.
What did you wish for? World peace? Nation's security?
Really?
You wished for that?
I thought that only happened in comedies.
I guess there really are people like that.
-What's so funny? -It's just a bit corny.
What did you wish for?
I want my secret album to be a big hit.
I see. You are a singer.
But I'm a soldier.
Is it so strange that a soldier would wish for the nation's security?
Why is it ok for a singer, but not for a soldier?
Still, you should've wished for a promotion or something. It's a little fake.
Why is it fake for a soldier to wish for national security?
To you, we must seem like fools. Stupid and simple-minded.
In the military academy, people told me not to work in the palace.
Why? Because people would laugh.
I'm fine with that now. I'm used to it.
I may be a fool, but I work to keep this nation safe and secure.
Your drinking and singing is possible because of that.
You benefit from our hard work. So why?
Why do you look down on us?
Do you want me to sing for you?
No, I'm not laughing at you or making fun of you.
I really feel bad. I don't think it's enough just to say sorry.
I never sang this to anyone, not even to our members.
It's my first time.
-Ok? -Ok.
We started out as friends.
As I started to hold your heart inside my own.
I believed that the butterflies in my stomache would turn into fate.
I was childish. It was my first love.
Breathing alone gave me happiness.
It was love like the sunshine.
I thought it would be forever, but all I have are the memories.
Broken heart, sad tears, they're all okay.
It's okay if I'm left with painful memories.
My heart first chose you. The first love I felt is more than enough.
I will love you forever, my first love.
Thank you for your generous donation. The Korean culture is developing daily.
Please speak comfortably.
As the chief of staff likes the Beatles, I too care deeply about Korean culture.
Well, everyone can relate to the Beatles.
I hear that the King is going on vacation.
Oh yes, he will be taking some time off.
There have been many instances so far.
And there's also South-North engagement in a few months.
Yes, resting. If the King is going, it must be a very nice place.
Do you know where?
I apologize, but the information is strictly confidential.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know where I should go,
should I decide to vacation in Korea.
I understand.
However, that information is a secret even among ourselves.
I understand. I understand. Please don't tell me.
It was my mistake.
Hello?
This is Eun Gyu Tae. Your gift is too much.
What? The Beatles Album? Did that just arrive?
Oh, mail in Korea must be a little slow, I suppose.
I will send it back.
Why? That's just a token of our friendship. Between friends.
Even though... This is too much for me to accept.
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Craig?
Sometimes I have a hard time understanding Korean culture.
Why does everything have to be so political?
Even gifts between friends.
What's wrong? Mr. Eun likes British culture and the Beatles,
I like Korean culture.
That's why we became friends, and that's why I donate to your royal family.
Is it wrong to give gifts? Is it also wrong to donate?
Oh no, if you think so, I will accept your gift.
-Thank you. -My pleasure.
Oh, wait a minute.
If you want to vacation in Korea, you should consider An Myun Do.
The sunset is very beautiful.
It's not 101 stories to move the heart.
It's not 101 Dalmatians.
It's 101 different ways to kill a person.
You're really something else.
How about sunset?
For your next project? Sunset, fire, how about it?
I hear An Myun Do in South Korea has beautiful sunsets.
Everything looks good.
-Everything's perfect? -Yes.
Good job.
It's ready, your highness. Please go in.
Thank you.
You didn't put in surveilance cameras, did you?
As requested, we only put it in the entrance.
The two of you should enjoy your time.
Thank you.
The north is off-limits to the public. Don't give away your identity and stop all vehicles.
Report to me if there are any suspicous people.
How is security going?
We will send someone in quietly every three hours.
I'll be at the station 5 minutes away.
Work hard. Let's go.
Oh my gosh. This is crazy.
She laughed while having dinner with the queen,
and was kicked out to the Education Department.
How could she put this up on the internet? She's asking for trouble.
Look at this.
-You think the North Koreans really did this? -No, I don't think so.
What are you looking at?
Your Highness.
Your Highness, I'm here.
I told you to be careful with your words.
-I saw it too. -I know. It was probably exaggerated.
She must have been upset that she was moved, and the fact that you're a North Korean...
-That's what makes it hard. -Yes, that's why I'm bloody-hard studying.
You don't have to do bloody anything. Please just watch your words.
I told you already.
Look here.
I don't know what "pung pung dduk" is, but if you wanted it, you should have asked me.
You shouldn't have gone to the kitchen.
I went to the kitchen with the teacher to study. I went there to study the food in South Chosun.
They asked what they have in Communist North, so I said...
Not South Chosun, South Korea.
And you can never use the words Communist North.
And you should never cut-in when someone else is speaking.
I'm the queen. The mother of this nation.
I'm sorry.
I'm your elder. I apologize, not I'm sorry.
I apologize. We only say I'm sorry.
That's how it is there.
Oh my head... I should stop drinking.
Hey, give me some water.
Excuse me.
Give me some water.
This is the first time I've had to raise my voice in the 40 years that I've lived here.
This is very unexpected. I was a common person, too.
When I first became the queen, I was so scared. I laid low telling myself that I was dead.
But you are not only a common person, you are a North Korean.
Shouldn't you be even more humble?
Are North Koreans far more inferior than common people?
Look at the way you're talking.
I want to talk to you about something, but I'm worried that there'll be misunderstanding...
You're already talking. Go ahead.
I know South Koreans don't look fondly upon us.
I'm not only a private person, I also represent North Korea.
So what? You'll do both?
You'll eat "pung pung dduk" and talk about the communist North?
You'll talk to elders disrespectfully in North Korean slang?
That's not what I mean.
And what if something like this happens again?
It's a good thing I deleted it right away. What if someone had spread it on the internet?
Jae Kang would...
What is it? What happened?
Nothing happened. Why did you wake up so late?
You may go.
What is it?
Did she do something wrong again?
She's good. She's doing well. Don't go and ask her.
She's going through a hard time. You understand?
Is Kim Hang Ah inside?
She's in the middle of a lesson.
Pretend it's over.
She's learning the royal family language. There are many professionals here for her.
Please wait. She'll be done in 2 hours.
-You know I hold grudges, right? -Yes, I'm well aware.
You know this is very frustrating.
-Yes. -Jae Ha, do you have time?
I'm on my way up from band practice, and realized this is where Jae Kang is on vacation.
Come out. Let's surprise Jae Kang.
-I can't. I'm busy. -All you do is drink. You're not busy.
Hold on. Grandma, how much for everything here?
-You can have everything for 10,000 won. -So expensive.
Just take 30,000 won.
-Hello? -I'm hanging up.
Wait! Come out with Hang Ah. It seems like she's having a tough time.
She's so busy with lessons, I can't even see her. Why would you go there anyway?
They're trying to make a baby. Why would you go and interfere?
I'm not saying I'm going to go inbetween them and sleep.
-I'm just stopping by to eat. -Hang up.
Oh my gosh! Please help me!
What's going on?
You're not fooled? I thought you were gullible.
You're around, right? Come out, let's go see Jae Kang.
I already met with him.
Just meeting him is different from eating together.
My sister-in-law is an excellent cook.
How about eating food cooked by the queen herself?
A chance like this doesn't come too often. This is your chance to get your promotion.
-When will you stay until? -So you do have time.
I'm going to leave right after eating, so maybe 7?
Call me then. I'll pick you up.
What is this? Why is everyone acting so inconsiderate?
What can I do for you? This is the army zone, and it's off-limits right now.
Forest Park. Isn't it this way?
Go straight for 10 km and turn right.
Wow, Korean soldiers are so nice.
Thank you.
He's a royal guard.
Ok, let's play.
-What? -It's nothing.
Jae Kang!
Is he out?
Pretty, you shouldn't have come here.
Someone must've been here.
What?
This looks like Jae Shin's taste.
Jae Shin!
Lee Jae Shin!
-You didn't see her car, did you? -No, I didn't.
I guess she just left the things here.
She shouldn't have.
We'll be going out in 2 hours.
I'm going to leave right after eating, so maybe 7?
What happened with mom before?
I almost got dogged.
Dogged? You dogged my mom?
It means I got scolded.
What did you do wrong?
Can I tell you later? I have another practice in 10 minutes.
My mom is a little girl. She can't even kill a bug or raise her voice.
The fact that she scolded you, you must have done something really wrong.
Is it so wrong that I asked her to think about our reputation, too?
Your reputation? North Korean?
Your mother... Never mind.
What is it?
If you're going to hold it in, you should hold it in until the end.
Then what am I supposed to do?
She's unhappy if I hold it in, and unhappy if I talk.
I'm sure you said something.
Your pride is something else. "Don't look down on the Communist North."
You didn't say anything in front of mom?
As I said, I'm not only a private person, I represent...
What is with Communist North? Communist North!
You're poor. You don't have anything. Why are you so proud?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it.
The least I can have is pride when we are so poor.
I really didn't mean...
If I bow down, you think people are going to welcome me?
They're going to assume we don't even have pride because we are so poor.
That's why I'm apologizing. I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Why are you so low?
I'm going back now! All they talk about is money, money, money!
They're good for nothing. Making the poor feel worthless.
I'm going back, so send me the car!
The number you have called does not exist.
You called because of lessons, right? I'll be right there.
Hang Ah.
You're going through so much.
Your highness.
You don't have to be so formal. You can call me...
Oh right, you are in the middle of lessons. You have to have strong foundation.
Anything going on?
I'm well, thanks to you.
When are you coming back?
Tomorrow in the afternoon. Why? Is something wrong?
No, nothing. Everyone is very nice.
Jae Ha is good to you too, right?
Yes.
What?
Jae Ha, you know I like you a lot, right?
Are you drunk?
Yes, I had a glass.
I really like you and Ms. Kim Hang Ah.
Good for you, while there's a war going on here.
Why? You must've fought again with Ms. Kim Hang Ah.
It's nothing. It's just love fight.
You're always at ease. How is the world so peachy to you?
You should find peace within your heart.
Then the Heavens will open up.
All the things in the world.
I didn't ask because I didn't know. I'm teasing you.
Hang up.
He has absolutely no sense. So frustrating.
He's having fun.
He's not replying.
Do you think it was a big fight?
Think about when we were first married. We fought over so many little things.
Yes, the North and South have met. It would be strange if there were no fights.
What to do... I'm liking this too much.
How much time do we have left of our vacation?
Don't think about anything until tomorrow.
You don't even get any recognition for all the hard work you do.
But still, I made my way all the way here.
It feels like yesterday that I watched the Berlin Wall fall.
Aren't you proud of me?
Yes. I wonder if the citizens know how charming you are.
No, they can't find out. I'll lose face.
In three months, Jae Ha will get engaged and WOC will take place.
Will it be hard to place in the Top 3?
Anything is possible. Why don't we just win first place?
I'll be happy just seeing the North and South Korean soldiers fighting next to each other.
That's good too, but we really should think about having a baby.
Our parents are getting worried.
What if Jae Ha has a baby first?
You're right.
Once Jae Ha gets engaged and the WOC is over,
I'm going to live my life the way I want.
We'll have a baby and go to places like this often.
It'll be great.
I want to play in the snow with kids.
How about a son like Song Joong Ki*? (*Korean Actor)
No, I want to have a daughter first.
How awesome it would be to hear her calling me daddy.
Daughter or son, we should have one soon.
It will be fun to go on an outing with Jae Ha's family.
Jae Ha's kid will probably beat our kid.
They have strong personalities.
Maybe because I drank wine, I feel tired.
Go to sleep.
We only have good things to look forward to.
Get in. Kind of boring, but a car accident might not be such a bad idea.
Here, take it. It'll help.
It tastes good.
How about falling off a cliff?
Princess!
Your highness. We have something urgent to inform you about.
Your highness.
Hello. I'm Lee Jae Ha, the prince of South Korea.
Thank you for this great opportunity to come and escape from my North Korean fiancee.
The king has passed away.
It is of deepest regret.
Your Majesty.
He passed due to carbon monoxide intoxification.
The princess is undergoing surgery. She hurt her spine,
so it may lead to paralysis in the lower body.
After the Prime Minister finishes the succession process, he will head this way.
Then a phone conference with the American president is planned.
After, you will meet with the ambassadors.
Stop the car. Stop it immediately!
First, let's meet with the Prime Minister, then go to the National Cemetary.
That's more urgent than the American president.
Please adjust the schedule.
I will.
We should go to Jae Shin's hospital. Mother is there, too, right?
The surgery was successful.
However...
I know. Her legs...
-Where is Jae Ha... I mean the King? -He will be here shortly.
-He was attending a party for a movie ceremony. -Party? He attended a party?
He didn't know anything. Everything happened so suddenly.
-Mom. -What are you doing?
The king has passed away. You should've at least dressed properly.
No matter how sudden, that's the least you could've done.
You are now the king.
You have to be alert from now on.
If we fall, everything will fall. The two of us need to endure this.
I will tend to the matters inside the palace, so you must tend to the external affairs.
That's the only way our royal family will live, and the only way the late King will shine.
Please, your highness.
