At the 8th year of King GwangHae, rumors of treason whispered around the palace.
So the king said "Find someone look just like me, after sunset I'll put him in the king's chamber"
"Don't leave any trails of this on the diarys of the kings" -King GwangHae diary 28th of Feb-
[GwangHae - The man who became the king]
Drink this..
go on.. drink it..
I SAID! DRINK IT!!
My king! Just have me killed!
-have us killed-
the chief royal secretary has arrived, my king
What on earth is going on?
the silver spoon turned black!
I shall have my chamber moved immediately.
my king, times like this,
you should calm down and watch close to your surroundings.
why do you always say that?!
If you do move your chamber,
that's exactly what 'they' want us to do.
please my king, reconsider your decision.
ha....
come closer...
all of you, stand back
how did it go?
I'm sorry my king but not yet..
make haste, someone..looking just like me.
I cannot trust anyone
not anyone...
-please my king, reconsider your decision.-
my king, can you not hear them?
please commence the execution of 'YooJongHo'
-please commence us
that's inappropriate my king
If we punish someone just because the one is suspicious,
unnecessary personal appeals will occur and make the situation more confusing
watch your words chief royal secretary
how could you say the loyal retainer appeals unnecessary?
we have far more important things on our hands rather than rumors of treason
what could possibly be more important things to do than revealing treason?!
my king, you sould execute 'YooJonHo' without any mercy.
that's inappropriate my king, it's not too late to execute him after the investigation.
'YooJonHo' is a dangerous man! please give us the order my king
-please give us the order my king
ha...
-The king will be present!
My king!
'YooJonHo' has conspired treason aginst the dynasty.
you cannot delay the execution any longer!
-please my king, reconsider your decision.-
my king! if you must pass, please step on our back to pass!
-please do so! my king
after all..they really want my last living brother to be killed
my queen...
I think this is not going to end,
unless I'm dead.
-The king will be present!
The king gently climb over the wall and
opens the door to seeks his lover 'HongJin'
'HongJin~'
where are you 'HongJin'?
There! she's hiding right here!
let's have a look, let's have a look
come, come out here..That's right!
oh my gosh,
let's have another look
oh my gosh! she is so fit down there!
looks like somebody is going to be lucky tonight!
my king, how come you visit me so suddenly without any notice?
if you come so often like this, my body won't last!
he~he look at this talkative bitch!
and leads to deep inside the palace
and roll off her lingeries
and there's her naked body! a fine work of art!
so the king was happy what he sees and...
to his left bang!
to his right bang!
flip her and bang!
to his east, watching the sunrise bang! bang!
to his west watching the sunset bang! bang!
here bang! there bang!
all~~night~~long bang! bang!
remove the bag
Sir! it's nonsense to think the king is shagging a women from retainer's family.
No way, it's absolute nonsense
/ on your feet / what?
by the way...
who are you sir?
now you listen carefully to what i'm about to say...
you will be taken to meet the king himself.
what..?
when the king asks you anyting you will answer to him "Yes my king..."
and if your answer happends to be a bit longer,
you will start with saying "I am much obliged to answer.."
you will not have questions
you will not dare to see the king's face
do I make myself clear?
prepare to take him to the palace
you fool..
rise your head
repeat after me..
"is anyone out there?"
yes..my king
i told you to repeat after me
yes..my king
you fool!
is that all you can say?
I am much obliged to answer..
"repeat after me.."
"is anyone out there?"
"i told you to repeat after me"
"you fool!"
"is that all you can say?"
you're quite good
he was a clown at the 'Gi-Seng (prostitute) house'
he read the primary teachings, at least he is not an illiterate
repeat after me
"is anyone out there?"
yes my king
do you wish to bring in the night snacks my king?
I do so
yes my king
bring the night snack
bring'em a lot
(farting noise)
oh my god...
if you visit here this often,
the queen will be furious.
is this okay for you?
I can't help it..
you're the only one can make me fall a sleep comfortably
on your feet
welcome back sir
time for you to leave
once in 3days when the curfew bell rings,
wait at the west gate.
you may not be 1 second late.
I'm sure you know what will happend
if you go around telling the tales of tonight.
you got the right guy!
follow me by looking only at my heel
be very careful on your way back
"3rd hit"
sir don't do this to me
he was had up due to talking obscene jokes at the Gi-Seng house
no no we had no idea that obscene jokes can be a crime
you 'Yang-ban (nobles)' do way more dirty jokes! don't you guys?
how dare you!
go 4th hit!
"4th hit!"
I'm gonna kill the SOB who grassed me!
go 5th hit! / "5th hit"
hold on a second..
does it hurt?
I'm bagging you let me go sir.. let me go sir
I just heard.. there's a new baby Gi-seng at the house right?
so what do you say? exchange her for your release
sir..that's not really up to me
smash this fucker!
sir! sir! don't do this to me sir!
take your time..
you said you are from 'Jun-Joo'?
yes
how old are you?
I'm 15...
"I-GO" (sigh)
i'm terribly sorry..
I miss...
my mother...
not a single chick is dead
if there were any poison,
even a real small amount will have them all killed immediately
if it's not a poison,
how can you expalin the silver spoon turning black?
resently the 'Soorakgan (royal kitchen)' used the bamboo salt instead of normal salt
bamboo salt you say..
yes my king,
the bamboo salt containes irons, that changed the color of the silver spoon.
your humble servent 'HerGyun',
bagging to his king to change his decision..
stop right there if it's about 'YooJongho'
I'm sorry my king but...
he is not the kind of person who will plot a treason
stop..
i know that
he is a loyal retainer indeed
my brother in law...a man of integrity..
I have to at least give him up
to earn my trust from them.
your Excellency, there's a guy came from the royal presence.
this way sir
i assume it's a poison
can he recover?
i'm sorry..
but i cannot guarantee anything at this moment.
we should prepare our nation for the sad news
who else know about this?
until now, it's Jo-Negam and me..
from what i'm about to say.. i will be fully responssible for it
you two make sure this incident stays only between us
but your Excellency..
if the king dies,
you, the royal doctor won't be able to live and you know it better than anyone.
if this fact is to be spread around,
the palace will be chaos
and i'm sure the person who poisoned the king wants that
so..we all say the king is just having a flu
'Sang-sun' you should tell 'DoBooJang (king's bodyguard)' to bring the clown to the palace.
'ErEy (royal doctor)' you should move the king to the 'Gil' temple.
Make no mistake..this facts can never be known to the others
until we find who did all this..
until the king is cured
how come you want me so suddenly? it's not the promised day
is the king going to some place fancy? huh
even after you get your ass smashed..wasn't that a lesson for you?
you what?
so it was you who grassed me??
well good on you. well done.
I made joke about the king so i well deserve to die
yeah I'm sure that judge,
SOB who took 15 years old girl's verginity is so innocent
but that girl hasn't done anything to deserve this!
what...I..
I haven't said anything wro....
I told you to watch your mouth
it was..the pit of the stomach..!
it's me 'DoBooJang'
king wishes to stay in his chamber,
you better go rest sir.
after the king is done with him. I'll personaly take him out of palace
no violent! you twat!
where is the king?
He is ill
my goodness, is he okay?
is he seriously sick?
you'll have to undertake the king role for a while
what do you mean by..'a while'?
nothing to worry..you'll just have to do what I told you to do.
no..I don't want to..
you fool! It's for your nation!
I do not know of such a thing.
It's my life on the stake.
no way I'm not doing this.
that's 20 silver coins, when you're done I'll give you double.
no thank you,
I won't risk my neck for money.
I'm not insane.
for the nation you said?
help my country..help my self,
that's how the world works right?
i'm anxious about my country...
oh yes,
the..double..you said,
I trust that you are man of your words.
-Due to the fact that king is having a flu, he won't be attending the morning meeting-
-Morining meeting will be held after 3days.-
the first thing you need to know is the people close to the king
'Sang-sun' and 'DoBooJang' you already met
'HanSangGoong' is the mater court lady, she is the king's closest servent.
my king, the queen wishes to meet you my king
be very careful, palace is the place of many open eyes and ears
I cannot even see him? is he that seriously ill?
the king wants to../
/ go tell him I personaly wishes him to meet me.
my queen..
why? is there another women in his bed?
"it's not likely for you to bumb in to other ladies of the palace but
"especially watch out for the queen"
"even though you look quite like the king,
they used to sleep in one bed, she will definitely recognize you."
"you are told to be unable to speak due to sore throat,
so if you have urgent questions, whisper to 'SangSun'"
hey you there..
i need to ask something..
as a matter of fact I...
(farts uproariously)
I'm sorry.....
I really need to take a dump.
for god sake I couldn't find a toilet around here for two day
next time..just ask for 'MeHwatel'
right right. I need them right now.
hey you...
why are you still here?
getta hell outta here
c'mon i need to shit
oh gosh oh...
(pooing sound)
you have my felicitation my king
-you have our felicitation my king-
don't come closer!
what the hell are you doing now!
I said dont come near!
have me killed my king!
why?? why would i kill you why?
just..get the hell out!
GET OUT!
my..king...
GET AWAY!
"when you wake up in the morning, just cough
then they will bring water to wash your face"
why didn't you tell me before?
(pooing sound)
-you have our felicitation my king-
heh screw felicitation.
"there is no toilet. just call for 'MeHwaTel'"
"I already know that sir.
why are they taking my 'thing' for?"
"that's sent to the royal doctors.
to test the color, thickness
even the taste"
"jee..they even taste it??"
next is the list of the royal concubine
holy cow! there's so many of them..
hey eunuch Kim
It's Jo my king
yes, eunuch Jo
i heard the king is sleeping with his concubine every night,
that's called 'HabGoong' right?
That's not my field of expertise, so i do not know
no see what i mean is,
what if the concubine come to my bed at night?
what should i do? i can't say no all the times y'know?
that could make them suspicious.
can i...do it?
what did you just say?
that was for a good laugh..for a laugh
"your servent will eat some before you
to check if the food is poison safe or not"
"king's having meals twice a day
he used to like rice cake and buckwheat paste for snacks"
take'em away
boy what a sumptuous meal...
I thought i have quite a big stomach
but i guess the king must has a enormous one
the kitchen servents eat the left over from the king's meal
then what you're saying is...
they havn't eat anything today cuz of me?
royal kitchen cook for the king and the king only..so..i guess...
that's preposterous..we all need to eat right?
no wonder why they were looking at me as if i was a freakin monster..
that..lady over there...
who is she?
that's the queen my king
queen...that's....
ah!
chief royal secretary said it is forbidden to meet the queen
king's meeting is delaied 3 days but 'YunDae' cannot
there's only 3 things you have to say
'Do as you wish' 'next' 'come in'
now, you try
'do as you wish'
I..i can't help laughing
you fool!
you've heard the king's voice. Low and solemn
okay okay..
'do as you wish'
do as you wish
we are much obliged my king..
next come in
the most important event is the 'Sangcham' (king's meeting)
'Sangcham' is
a meeting with over class 3 retainer gather up and receive words from the king
so, there should not be any mistake.
yes
to your left front line second row
his name is 'HaIlJoo'
he would willing to jump in to the shit bucket to grab a political power
and just next to him
'KimJongSe'..
a greedy n' violent person. once he is pissed off. he seeks to revenge it.
'LeeEnSung' The one who alway starting his words by agreeing to 'KimJongSe'
he is the one so precarious just to stay in his position.
olny thing you have to do is just remember his name.
to your right at the very front line
'ParkChunser' you have to remember him very carefully
don't you see?
do you really not see the will of our king?
he throw us a bone called 'YooJongHo'
while we are stuck with 'YoojongHo', the king never mentioned about sendind troops or the 'DeDong-Law'
"his eyes are like a hawk, and cunning as a snake
so be very cautious"
from now on..
talk to me and 'SangSun' as if we were your real servent.
what?
keep this in mind
there is ears and eyes everywhere in the palace
that thing infront of you, is the scroll you should be reading at the royal meeting.
please read them out loud my king
"I'm ordering you as your king.
prepare a law bill to revive 'DeDong-Law'" /
/stop stop!!
you are a king, not a story taller at the market my king.
low and solemn, like a king's voice
"I'm ordering you as your king.
'HoPan' prepare a law bill to revive 'DeDong-Law,
and 'GongPan' stop the palace construction.
if the palace is build on the tears and blood of our people it's a big shame.
and listen 'HyungPan' I will not accuse 'YooJongHo' for treason.
A traitor must be executed but If It's the innosent person is accused, it must be stoped.
I am ordering to all of you.
In ther future, if anyone of you is responssible for baseless rumors
that brings confusion to the palace will be treated as a traitor.
and that's all for this morning meeting."
yes my king.
preparation for the 'SangCham' is done my king.
-The king is going out!
-The king is coming inside!
-the 'SangCham' shall being
-it is time for our king to read us the scroll
my king,
i heard you had a bad flu, how are you feeling today my king?
i..am..okay
-Inscrutable are the king's favors.
it's not the right scroll!
king is still having sore throat...
due to that I will read the scroll instead of the king
'HoPan'
yes my king
prepare a law bill to revive 'DeDong-Law,
'HyungPan'
yes my king
you sort out and report from which province should this law start.
yes my king
listen all retainer,
I will not accuse 'YooJongHo' for treason.
In ther future, if anyone of you is responssible for baseless rumors
that brings confusion to the palace will be treated as a traitor.
carry out your orders faithfully
and that's all for this morning meeting."
-Inscrutable are the king's favors.
what? revive 'Ho-Pe law'?
start 'DeDong law'?
we didn't delay those laws for our treat
It all happend after 'HerGyun' became the chief royal secretary
I told you all, he is treacherous, always plotting somethings
the king demands my report.. what shell i do..damn it
who made this bean gruel?
I assumed you haven't fully recovered your strengh so../
/I asked who made it
that girl over there ask the royal chef to cook it, my king
this is tasty..
just like i used to eat when i was a child
so..what is your name?
It's 'HanSangGoong' my king
how about you? what is your name?
ye..yes my king..It's 'Sawal'
how old?
I'm 15 my king
fifteen...
this is enough for today take'em out
what are you watting for? the king said take them out
yes..
I haven't taste a fresh steam rice for days!
eat them while you can.
we'll never know when the king finds his appetite back
ma'am, don't you notice anything different about the king?
what do you mean?
the color of his face, and the appetite.
he smile a lot at any where, that's also changed
'YoungHe' says
even the sound of him pooing has changed
fortunately, his pulse is coming back to normal
but Your Excellency,
It wasn't a pison. He was drugged.
what the hell do you mean?
has he been going out side the palace recently?
he is avoiding his concubines? why?
how should I know.. I don't know what he is thinking
there's rumors in the palace.. It's not just the concubine but he is avoiding even the queen
he loves women's body odor..but now he is avoiding it?
Your Excellency,
Your Excellency, 'HerGyun' is up to something
he is searching for trails of 'AnSangGoong'. shouldn't we be prepared?
you, gather up some man and burn the poppy field
all trace of the drugs must be vanished
no one have seen 'AnSangGoong' for days
do as you wish
I'm much obliged my king
did you approve discarding 'DeDong Law'?
But you told me to do it
what ever the retainers are therefor just say "do as you wish"
did you approve the torturing for 'YoonJongHo' as well?
no no I didn't
they..wanted to install this thing call 'ChooKukJung' and So i said yes
that's the same thing!
I told you to be awear of 'ParkChoongSer' over and over..
I'll prepare another meeting..
order the 'DeDong Law' again
once we said we'll do it and now we won't...
why is this so complicated
just do what i tell you to do my king
you gave up one and you get one..that's just politics
you should at least let me know what I'm giving up and what I'm getting!
that's what i mean...Sir...
well do you know anything about these laws? and why everyone is so irritated?
I do not know my king
yeah..why should i care.. I'm just role playing here..
but...
I can find some books about those laws
so if our people use 'Ho-Pe'
It's simple identification and easy for us to impose tax. isn't this good for all?
not for everyone my king
'Ho-Pe' means not just identification or taxing but also hard labor duty.
so some abandon the 'Ho-Pe' and flee to over seas
or some even castrate themsleves and become eunuchs.
what..you mean cut off his own penis?
so..that means...
there's penis-less eunuch in the palace..i wonder who might that be?
so....'SangSun'..
It could be a bit weird to ask you this right now..
ask anything my king
do you...really don't have....IT?
I..I don't have it..
well...so..when you go to the man's room..
do you stand up ....or sit down?
(whispers)
oh...that must have hurt..
'DoSungJi (chief royal secretary)'!
my king!
'DoSungJi'
my King..
I should come to you, when ever you need me my king, you shouldn't have come to me.
but you are such a busy man
let me ask you one thing
I've been studying all night long.
'DeDong law' seems to be real fine law from my perspective,
how come it didn't last for 1 year?
my king..
oh come on you,
It's not about right and wrong. It's just politics
there's too many eyes around here, please head back my king
I want a man following 'DosungJi'
I want to know everything he does and goes
yes sir
I don't get this
why is everyone over reacting when it comes to 'DeDong law'?
I'm assuming It's due to local province lords going aginst the law
charging tax according to the size of the land they own, what's the problem with it?
more rich you get more tax you pay. isn't that common sense?
the way you speak sounds more like the real king everyday my king
you reckon?
sometimes i feel like i'm real the real king myself
my king, your night snack has arrived
bring them in
hey 'Sawal'
yes my king
you said you're 15 years old right?
yes that's true my king
how did you end up here at your age?
here, i'm just curious that's all. so tell me all about it
my father used to be a farmer at the mountain country side.
but one day local lord commence my father to pay tax with abalones.
what? abalones to a farmer?
go on..
so he loan money in high interest to pay his taxes..
debt makes another debt...
at the end our house and farm were taken..then my father went to prison...
oh dear...
as if that wasn't enough..
my mother and sister were sold as a slave to the boarderside
and i became slave to the one of the high Yangban(nobles) family
what a bastard!
and my left alone father...is dead at the following year
due to the aftereffect from violent punishment he got from the prison
ah! Fuck this!
my king!
don't you miss your mother?
all i am asking is to know if she is alive or not
okay...before my part as a king finishes,
i'll make sure that you meet your mother again
i give you my word
I'm much obliged to you. I'm much obliged to you my king
okay you may leave
What shall i do??
what can i do to punish that blood suckin' sons of bitches?
give order to the 'EiGumbu' for the investigation my king
that will take for ever.
i don't know for how long i'll be sitting here
well then...
then?
ah...It's nothing..
what? you kidding?
Hey you 'HoPan'
yes my king
havn't i told you to put a plan to run the 'Dedong law'?
my king, if we operate that law so suddenly, local province lords will have massive loss.
they are also your people, how come you discriminate them from the others?
lord who owns 30 square miters pay 10 bags of rice,
3 square miters pay 1 bag of rice. is this idea discrimination to you?
people are now becoming slaves and eunuch
and you whine about local lord's 1 bag of rice as a discrimination??
bring in the sinner!
he is a lord from 'GangWon' province.
he loan high interest money to the people.
he must has bribed to someone. and that someone bribed another..
do you really want me to torture him and reveal the truth about this?
is all of you so confident for not taking that sinner's bribes?
'HoPan'
yes my king..
the one who plays the high interest money loan based on
an exclusive tax paying contract with the locals must be punished immediately.
I obey your oder my king
'HyungPan'
yes my king..
order the local royal office to open their warehouse and share thier rices with the people
yes my king..
i here by ordering to you all
operate 'DeDong law' immediately.
If there's anyone trys to stop or interrupt this law..
I'll personaly punish them by the national laws
make sure you understand this and carry out your oders
-Inscrutable are the king��s favors.
why are you ordering with your own will?
but we have the 'DeDong law' now don't we?
do you even know who 'YooJongHo' is??
take one and give one. that's what politics are all about right?
do you think this is some sort of bargains at the markets??
shhh! they can hear you!
and while we are at the palace,
let's make sure who is ther ruler and who is the servent.
'YooJongHo' is....
the older brother of the Queen...
you what?
their plan is to frame up 'YooJongHo' as the traitor,
and at the end, to dethrone the queen.
how dare they do that to the nation's mother!
they just don't know when to stop.
my king, It's 'Sawal' here to see you.
bring her in
this torture we do at the palace can make even a innocent person to confess
that is why i wanted to save 'YooJongHo' even if i had to delay the 'DeDong law'
then, what shell we do now?
nothing, that's only way you can help me and the palace
my king, it's the queen
tell her i already fall a sle...
I trusted you my king..
If i'm such a pain in your royal ass, just have me killed my king
what the hell are you doing?
wait wait hold on
I'll save 'YooJongHo' no matter what
can i trust you my king?
trust me
well..then...
you can...
get..off..me now
if you don't keep the promise you just made..
consider me as a dead person from that day
i get it...
�������ƾƾƾƾƾƾƾ�~~~~
-the king is coming
why did you do it?
you are my brother in law,
how could you plot a treason
answer me
why did you do that?
I remember you...
as a great virtuous king
who looks after his people even during the time of war
But now!
you are not the virtuous king you once used to be!
your ears can't hear any more because of all those treacherous servents
and your eyes are blind by the women's skirts.
you are just a tyrant now.
How dare you to say that infront of the king!
so, what did you do? plot a treason?
no way...
never! my king..
then what?
gathered troops?
how i dare to....
then what did you do?
I screamed..
i screamed from the top of my lungs..for you to open your ears and listen!
just have me killed my king..
so you just said that...
that is all?
release him
that is impossible my king!
he is a sinner who plot the treason
what is the plot??
'ByungPan' are you so confident?
are you so confident that your ideas inside your head is clearer than him?
step forward! if any of you feel so confident!!
release him he is not a traitor..
so..you really wanna play your hand this way...
eunuch Jo..
yes my king..
I just want to be alone for a while
but my king..
It's just for a short while, let me have this moment
Why are you still standing there 'DoBuJang'?
It's.... against the palace law...
so you are saying palace law is above the king order?
It is true that your brother 'Yoo' is free now
I assume the rumors about the king has changed nowadays is true..
rumors says he laughs a lot more and he is only interested in rulling the nation right.
my queen...
I'll be away for a while
what makes you come here my king?
don't you find this funny?
yes it's hilarious
but why aren't you laughing?
MY KING!
what the...
shh shh
MY KING!!
why are you doing this?
i kept my word on releasing 'YooJongHo'
yes so i've heard
so then, I have a favor to ask too
tell me about it my king
can you show me your smile?
i beg your pardon?
show me your smiling face
what? is it such a huge thing to ask for?
i kept my word you know?
now then..
now then..c'mon
MY KING!!!
i'll be gone now...
were you with the queen my king?
my king..
what's the matter?
nothing...my king
'SangSun'
don't you sense anything odd about the king?
what..such..?
come to think of it...It's not just one or two things..
the way he talks..way he moves..
even his hand is rough now
I think you have too many things going on in your head
please exquse me..
I think 'DoBoJang' Knows.
we just might as well tell him the truth
no way,
he is too way inflexible person.
i can't predict what he'll do if he finds out.
fortunatly king is recovering his consciousness.
just hang in there for few more days.
my queen, the king has message for you
"my queen, I notice your face is too pale,
have this bowl of bean gruel and regain your strength."
I got it, now you may leave.
I'm sorry to say this...
but he wanted me to see you eat them while it's hot
and bring back the empty bowl.
'DosungJi' has arrived my king
so about 'YooJongHo'.../
/ I precisely told you..
do not rule by your own will
yes i know but..
Even though he is the brother of the queen.
there is procedures and laws in the palace.
screw laws. king's order is way much stronger
you Fool!!
don't you see the fact even the king can not do what ever he desires to do?!
don't you still not know how things works around the palace??
you told me there's eyes and ears everywhere in the palace
and now you talk like this?
my king, It's 'SaWal'
bring her in
there..
oh it's the cinnamon 'Yut'. hey 'SaWal' you stay
here..'Eat YUT' (it means STFU figuratively because it's impossible to speak with sticky YUT in your mouth)
i am sorry my king..
c'mon eat yut will ya?
'DoSungJi' wishes to leave now!
so, did the queen finished her bowl?
yes my king
any words from her?
"ask him to meet me at the back palace garden when the curfew bell rings.
I have things to say to him"
the queen ordered me to give you these message.
oh i see
"the floting moon on the night sky is my dear's face."
"someone cut her head off and hang it on the night sky" (What???)
"i stare at every moon rise as if it's my dear"
what do you think?
it's magnificent! my king
how about 'DoBooJang'?
it's...
not against the palace law
how about 'SangSun'?
who is the one refferring to the moon?
i..i cannot tell you
perhaps it's best not to.....
but those two is saying okay about it...
so? what then?
but still it's best not to ...
hey there 'Sawal'
yes my king
tonight's snack is your favorite dried persimmon and rice ball cake.
i'll leave it all to you.
I am so much obliged my king!
'SangSun', not leave the palace tonight and stay.
i'll be reading at the library all night long
y..ye..yes my king
my king, It's the curfew time
hmm okay
m..my king.,,
I'm disapointed at you..
m,,my king now that i think of it, it's not too bad..
my king
wait here
do you remember what you said on the day i was chosen to be the queen?
er..i..i said..
of course you forgot
yeah..it..it's a long time ago
you hold my hand and said
"I'll be with you until the rest of my life."
"I'll never let go of the hand i'm holding now"
the voice of those words you said
is still so vivid to me
"the title: my dear's face"
"the floting moon on the night sky is my dear's face."
"someone cut her head off and hang it on the night sky"
"ah i wonder, is it the pain in her heart causing her not to smile?"
"i stare at every moon rise as if it's my dear"
what do you think?
what are you daring?!
please my queen step a side
he is not the king!
you may have fooled 'DoSungJo' and 'SangSun' but you cannot fool my eyes
put your blade a side now!
don't you know the meaning of your action now??
my queen! if he is really the king! i will cut my throt right here!
he is definitely the real king.
how dare you to think even i, the queen won't recognize him?
my king,
there is a red mole which is a size of a little fingernail somewhere on my body.
tell me where it is.
at above your left hand side bosom
put your blade a side right now! you fool!
do i have to show my bosom for you fool to believe??
hh..h..have me killed my king!
I will pay for my treason with my life!
please be well my king!
hey hey hey!!!
i'll call someone my king
my queen..my queen!
'DoBooJang'! 'DoBooJang!'
"after you finish the bowl of bean gruel.."
"come and get your blade you fool"
what the fuck did you just said?
the king ordered me to tell you these.. :)
tell me what is your sin of disloyalty
I dared to place a blade on my king's body
/ you're wrong
i dare to be suspicious..
/ wrong again!
you are my royal bodyguard,
you're supposed to be protecting the king with your life and you dare to cut you throt?
that is nothing but a disloyalty and a treason.
putting a blade on my body is not a problem
but you have to stay alive so that i can stay alive
don't you know how valueble your life is?
how was the bean gruel?
it was...sweet and tasty
yes..when you are alive,
then you can feel the sweetness and tastyness of the bean gruel
you pull out this blade, only for my sake.
do well to remember that.
what do you think? do you think he bought it?
like as i said, he is not an easy person..
my! king!
how long have i been staying here?
it's your 15th day tomorrow my king
what is this?
it's the poppy flower my king
the poison that clouded your mind is this one.
who'd dare to...
'AnSangGoon' is dead..
then you mean...it's 'ParkChoongSer' behind all these??!
that is true my king
he's a frightening guy..
i'll prepare you return to the palalce
you should go and reveal this evlil trickery.
let's...delay that return..and think about it
but my king!
palace is now under 'ParkChoongser's influence right?
I can go down again by confronting him
as a matter of fact..poppy flower isn't actually a poison..
what about the fake? let's get rid of him first
why are you having that face?
have you become a friend with him or what?
no way my king.
i can't let that joker stay alive, he has sat on the throne you know?
-please my king, reconsider your decision.
my king, unless the northsider queen is alive, the ploting for treason will never stop!
so you're saying she is the source of treasons now?
all the treasons we had so far was caused by her relatives.
you should tighten disciplines of the palace.
you lads are telling me i should dump my faithful wife like a dog
and you preach that's the law?
my king,
have you forgot the promise you made to us
that you will dethrone the current queen and renew with the pregnant concubine
please give us your royal permission.
-please give us your royal permission.
-please my king, reconsider your decision.
i accept your opinion and will abandon the queen
but if you say the queen is right to be dethrone just because she is not from the west part,
i am not from the west part!
therefor...
dethrone me with her!
-please reverse your decision my king
-please my king, reconsider your decision.
move a side!
we rather want you to step on our back to pass my king!
-please do so my king!
-my king!
'where are we heading?'
'i don't really know'
'don't do this, it will still be inside the walls of this palace'
'why dont' you leave the palace?
just hide for a while and leave..that's all'
'i am the king, i can make that happend'
my king!
don't let anyone pass!
but my king...it's against the plalace...la..w
i count on you.
don't do this my king
why are you doing this?
my queen...
now you suddenly have sympathy for me?
when you realize this could be the end of me,
now do you pitty me that much?
return now...
you said i promised you..
that i will stay with you for the rest of my life
that i will not let go of your hand until the end of this world
you said i said that...right?
why are you making me cry....?
have you really seen it? two kings?
yes sir
i got it
well then sir..
what happends if one of them is to be killed?
for now, let's make sure who is the real one.
have you investigated it?

the night snack was served even though king went out on those days
are you sure?
it's writen on the diary and i've check with the royal kitchen
job well done
my queen..there is perposterous rumors going on around the palace..
saying that the king isn't the real king..
the scar on his shoulder in gone, they say...

now i'm bit busy so...
why don't you sitdown?

my queen we cannot...my queen...my queen please..
my queen..
who the hell are you?
what do you mean by that?
i'm the 15th king of 'Josen'../
/ you fool!
do you wish to die?!
'leave immediately..
when the king returns you will not be spare to live'
'the palace will be filled with screams
and i will be dethroned one day'
'and the low birth body of your which once sat on the throne,
will be floting somewhere on the riverside'
where is the king now?
I'm sorry to say this my queen but, this is king's order
not telling where he is staying,
placing a fake king,
it's all king's orders
was it also king's will to spare my brother's life?
'........'
or was it your will?
'......'
my queen give me few more days
what happends to the fake after all this?..
that guy who looks just like the king..sitting on the throne..
queen knows everything now..
the queen said i'll soon be killed
if not by his servents, by the king himself
so then,
you should run away as soon as you hear that
why did you come back?
I remembered 'a promise'
take them.
it's the 20 silver coins i promised you, you fool.
i was asking 'is my life not that worth it?'
shut up and listen carefully,
tomorrow night, you will get out of the palace
you fool never saw me and never had a conversation
this is the scroll for tomorrow morning meeting
all you need to say is 'do as you wish'.
this is the last role as a king for you, you fool.
my king, i brought 'SaWal' for you.
i have favor to ask you 'DoSungJi'
i promised that girl i'll find her mother for her
do that instead of me.
'SaWal'...
take this..
i no longer need this so you have it.
now come on.
find her mother..and send her by that girl's side
this is not a favor...
it is king's order.
the last order...i'm giving you as a king..
hey 'SaWal'
it's cinnamon candy, put it in your mouth and then put it in to the bean gruel
ma'am, what is it in the candy?
i don't know
but i what i know is, if we don't put the candy in the bowl we are all dead!
i heard it was you..who set my brother free..
why did you give that order on you own will?
if...if i do that..
i was hoping to see you smile.
a big smile...on you face
when the moon rise tomorrow,
i will be leaving
i don't mind wether you stay in the palace
or be abadoned but...
please..do not die..
these are to the Ming Dynasty:
45000 siver coins, and all 13 sort of treasures are prepared my king.
we should decorate silver and gold vest to our ambassador 'KangSoSong' to show our repect.
that's a brilliant idea!
do as you wish
and the troops:
including 500 horses, 3000 archers, 1000 cavalry
in total 20000 soldier will be sent my king
if we send 20000 man..
our borders on the north side could be risky.
sir, this country is existing now only because of Ming Dynasty exist.
even though our troops get beat up by the barbarians
we must pay our toadyism respect to the Ming and the emperor.
please, allow us.
-please allow us
do as you wish
now, It's to the empress and their children:
yellow silk 150 cottons, white silk 150 cottons../
/ enough is enough!!!!
who's country is this?
you what?
you don't care even though our man is beat up by the barbarians?
If you favor Ming emperor that much, why don't you all give up whole nation to the Ming?
but my king!
YOU SHOULD BE SHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!
alright...as you all wish... i'll agree to send 20000 troops.
but i will also send letter to Gem(��) Dynasty.
write this down 'HongMunGwan' (clerk)
'even though we send 2000 troops because we fear Ming, we do not want war with Gem(��).'
'i wish you send our man back to 'Josen' unharmed'
my king!
how could we disrespect the toadyism with the Ming and consult with the barbarians??
what is that toadyism respect???
why is that so important that we have to send our 20000 people to die for them?
if it is the rightful king..
if it is the people's and nation's father known as the name king!
i, the king rather steal!
i rather beg!
to save that 20000 troops...
compare to that thing you all call toadyism respect!!
my country, my people is 10times, 100times more precious to me!
now, let's have it
the bean gruel taste is different especially today.
I will never forget this taste..
hey 'SaWal'
how come your are crying 'SaWal'?
hey 'SaWal'..
my king...
please...

hey 'SaWal'!!
please put her down my king
is there any doctor out there?
my king...
hey 'SaWal' you must live..please live!..

cure her...fix her! you must make her well..
tell me now, who gave you the poison?
tell me...

It was 'JulDoSa' i was threatened to be killed if i don't put the poison in!!

�������ƾƾ� �߿;ƾƾƾƾƾ�
this is serious, we all could be on the torture chair soon
he is not the king of 'Josen'
how can one even think about consulting with the barbarians?
real or not i will not just sit by and wait
we sat him on the throne! don't you all see this is unfair!
king is not the king?
do you expect me to believe that nonsense?
general, do you remember the scar on the king's shoulder?
yes it happend during the war with the Jap monkeys
come here and tell us what you saw!
isn't she the maid court lady?
since few days ago..
i could not see the scar on the king shoulder.
what do you mean 'you can not see'?
can you put your life on those words?
I will not lie infront of a general and all
how is this...
somebody call the messenger
'ParkChoongSer' has gather the ministers
soon there will be troops coming in to the palace. it is time for you to leave.
no i won't!
i lived contemptible life so far..
but it's not now.
until i punish the criminal who is responssible for 'SaWal's death,
i will not move an inch!!
so then...
why don't you become a real king?!
if you wish to seek revenge for the girl,
if you can not forgive those corrupted ministers
the king who warships his own people!
if that's what you truly desire...
that dream....
i will make it come true...
i....
want to be the king
go to the the archives and get the recent 15days diary
use force, steal, do what ever is necessary to get that diary.
please go...
make haste my king!
you are the one who told 'SaWal' to just stay alive!
it is still a death in vain even though you die in king's cloth!
flee away..
RUN YOUR ASS OFF!
STEP BACK!
the king is present here.
you back off 'DoSungJi'..
we are not here as a rebellion troops.
we are here to drag the fake king down
It's impertinent! you dare to call the king a 'fake'?
we shall see that after we check his scar..
'DoChoongGwan!'
yes sir!

-the king will come out!
It's an impertinent act you fools!
show respect to your king!
that fake has been sitting on the throne for so long, he lost his sanity!
you what?!
did you just call me a fake?
i am the king!
is that so?
if he is the king,
he must have that scar on his shoulder,
if not he is a fake!
isn't it 'DoSungJi'?
take his cloth off!
you dare to disrepect me like this?
i swear i will have your head cut off!

that dream...
i will make it come true...
i.....
want to be the king..
but...
i have to kill someone so that i can live,
and by doing that another innocent life have to go.
i don't want it...
if that's what it takes to be the 'real king'..
i will keep my dreams to myself
i have served two kings
this is the diary of the king for recent 15days.
read this, and judge my disloyalty and cut off my head my king!
-order the local royal office to open their warehouse and share thier rices with the people-
