Come please. Episode 6
Wait.
This is him. He came to find you.
Return my jade belt!
Pardon?
How can you steal someone else's belongs? Do you even know how important that is?
What do you mean steal?
I was the one that chased after you to return something your Highness left behind.
Please say something.
Did I follow him or not?
You did chase after him yelling "Your Highness, Your Highness"...
You heard?
Because of your Highness, I was also left with paying the bill for drinks too.
You were the one who ran out so quickly.
Now you're saying I stole it?
Lies.
I got it. Just hand over the jade belt.
I refuse.
I cannot just overlook this embarrassment...
... Tell his Highness to come immediately.
Tell him to come and repay me for the drinks and apologize.
Oh-ho.. Look here..
Until His Highness apologizes, I will not return it.
What are you doing? Hurry and tell Prince Gwanghae to come.
Since His Highness lost the belt, he's not allowed to leave his palace.
He can't come and apologize. So I will do it for him.
I'll also repay the bill for the drinks.
Sir, your life is pitiful too.
Having to serve under His Highness must be exhausting.
Okay. Fine, your words are all correct. So please return the belt.
Sir, I'm not saying that I won't return the jade belt.
I wanted to return it, so I even went to the palace. I stood outside waiting...
I'll also reward you for your efforts.
I was looking for ways to return it and came here...
How nice of you. Now...
But wait..
A thief stole it.
What?
You jerk! What do you mean a thief stole it?!
You're saying that you don't have it with you right now?!
Who is it? The person that stole it!
I'm the one who's upset that someone took it. How can you be mad at me?
If it was gone, you should have told me earlier! And you're telling me to apologize!
Lying that you had it, were you trying to deceive me?!
What do you mean deceive? Your words are quite rude!
You jerk!
You can't do this here.
If you're not here to drink, please leave.
We have a lot of customers.
Take the lead.
What do you mean "take the lead"?
You're the only one who's seen the thief.
It's not because I like you that I'm taking you with me.
Sir, I don't have time to waste.
I would like to catch the thief, so, at least, I'll be repaid for the drinks. But,
I need to return to my Teacher with his medicine.
So the thief . . . You'll have to deal with that on your own.
Oh-ho.
How can I trust that you were actually robbed?
The last person that had the belt was you.
If you're going to act like this, let's go to the police.
Sir!
What are you going to do?
Fine.
I'll help you.
I think it's this way...
Ah, my shoe! So troublesome!!!
Ah what to do!?
I can't even walk now!
Sir, my shoe's broken.
What are we going to do now?
This, this, that and this. I'll try them all on.
Okay.
Let's try this on.
Too big...
This is a little big.
Is there another one?
Hurry and pick one.
The most expensive one.
Here.
This one fits like a glove! How much?
Dan yang.
Dan yang?
I'll repay you once we catch the thief. So, hurry and pay.
Didn't you say you were in a hurry?
Okay.
Let's hurry.
Yes Sir.
Enjoy your meal.
Did you really lose it here?
Lady! Please bring one more dish of boiled meat here!
Yes, I'm coming.
Did you come to eat?!
I need to eat to remember. So wait a little.
Let's see. The place where he took it was...
The place where he stole it was...
It seems I need to eat more.
The food is really good, so please eat.
Anyway, we can only move when I've remembered.
If I'm late, Teacher will be worried.
Please eat.
It's fine.
Auntie! Oh my stomach! Oh my stomach!
Auntie, where is the bathroom? Bathroom!
Is it urgent?
Oh, you don't say.
My stomach. I'm dying, dying.
Oh, it's coming out.
Who is that?!
I filled up my stomach and
I have a new pair of shoes, too.
Now I just need a place to stay.
Where might that be?
Lord!
Oh, you came at the right time.
I saw him going that way.
I . . .
can't trust you anymore.
Here.
Alright, where did that guy go?
That way.
That way? Ok, lead the way.
Ok.
I already sent the cup to your house.
How did you know I would bring it?
Didn't I say I believe in your skills?
Hwa Ryeong. Go and fetch Mak Son.
It's all sorted out now. So I'll tell him to bring the cobalt color pigment for delivery to Bunwon.
I will go, Ma'am.
They are rough guys.
If you go, they might take you lightly and treat you badly,
so you'd better stay here.
I was the one who started this deal,
so please let me finish the deal as well.
She said they are rough. Do you have to go there yourself?
If I avoid hard work, how can I be recognized in this company?
If you're worried,
why don't you come with me then?
Don't think too much.
This was supposed to be my task anyway.
Why are you refusing to give us the product?
We've already paid for the goods!
Geez...
I told you the transportation fee has increased, as well as its storage fee.
But why can't you understand that?
If you want to have business, you should honor the original deal, even if it results in some loss.
Please bring the promised pigments immediately.
How dare you, little kid!
I guess you're acting like this, relying on Madam Son's influence.
Guys!
Teach her a lesson!
Yes!
Orabeoni, don't move.
I will take care of this.
Do you know what this is?
This is the list of products that you've, so far, embezzled from the district office.
I've already paid the agreed upon price. So, deliver the cobalt pigment to our company's office within 2 hours!
If you try to threaten me again,
I won't let it slide either.
Do you understand?
Are you alright?
Do you think I was alright?
Your shoulders...
were trembling.
Please hurry up.
Do you know where he (the thief) is?
The place where thieves gather is so obvious.
A place where it's dark, remote, secretive and unnoticeable to others.
Hey, if you're going to eat, eat it quietly.
He's always eating something.
Hey, you guys, earlier...
Excuse me,
we're looking for a person.
If you help us, this man will reward you handsomely.
Okay,
Who are you looking for?
Well, he's quite tall
and has a strong body.
His face is pale with thick eyebrows, the eyes are bright and the nose is sharp.
So, in other words, he's tall and very handsome.
Are... Are you saying that I'm that thief?
Geez, don't you even look in a mirror, Sir?
That guy was very shining, although it was only for a brief moment.
Are you taking the side of that thief bastard?
No, I'm just telling you what I saw; the way it was.
In order for you to catch that guy.
Hey! If you're going to fight each other, do it somewhere else.
We haven't seen such a thief, so you'd better leave now.
But...
Go!
Let's go.
Yes.
Did you really see that thief?
Looking at the way you acted,
I think it's totally possible you'd sold it already and just claimed that it had been stolen.
What's wrong with you?
It seems someone is following us.
Here, hold my hand!
Sir... Sir...
What are you doing? Be prepared to fight!
F... fight?
Move aside! You're in the way.
Pardon...?
Guys!
What the...?
Wait.. wait...
I'm sorry!
Guys! Hurry! Run!
You bastards!!!
Stop there!
Stop there, you bastards!
It's a shame that I'm the only one to enjoy this show.
Can you stand up?
Well... I'm fine.
I'm a man after all.
This is nothing... Argh!
What have you done to be hurt?
But still... If I ran away, what could you have done by yourself?
I'm your life savior, Sir!
That's right! If I had been hit by the stone you threw, I would probably have been dead by now.
How can I repay my gratitude?
Please don't mention it.
I was taught that helping each other is the principle of this world.
Darn it...
Uh? Sir!
I told you to go. So, why are you following me around?
That jade belt, you know . . .
If it's gone, what will happen?
How quickly you ask that question...
Without that belt,
(I) will be in big trouble, in front of all high ranking subjects.
Really?
I can't leave.
I will be able to sleep peacefully only after seeing this problem solved.
Wh... what are you doing?
Our hands should be tied, right?
For... forget it!
Why not?
Thinking of that guy's looks, he might have sold it for a high price and gone to a gisaeng house.
No!
He should sell it first,
so we'd better check out all residences of high ranking lords who might buy it...
Sir! Can you wait just for a moment here?
I have to buy the medicine for my master first.
Alright! You don't need to hurry.
While you're in there, treat the wound on your hands too.
No, this is nothing.
I'll be back right after buying the medicine.
Alright.
It will be done quickly!
Sir!
I'll be back soon!
Oh, okay!
Please make some medicine which can fix a lingering cold at once.
Cold in May and June?
Wait here for a moment.
Yes.
Ah!
By any chance, do you have any good medicine for knee joint pain?
Of course I have.
Then, please make it separately too.
Sir!
Where did he go?
Sir!
Sir!!
Hiring clerks for Bunwon?
Healthy young men...
Oh! It's totally me!
It's hard to make a living in this lean year, so shall we work for Bunwon instead?
Forget it. I've heard about it. The work there is very hard and tough.
Ceramist or what not,
it's hard to become one.
However, once you've become a ceramist, it's better than being a minor official.
A ceramist? Do you think it's easy to become one?
One out of a hundred, no, one out of a thousand can make it that far.
To become a ceramist, one needs to be born to be one.
If I, who received my father's blood,
become Joseon's best artisan after winning over you,
will you then apologize? I'm asking you.
You?
Your Highness, what brings you here?
I came here because I am looking for something.
I could only think of this place
to help me find a precious item.
I don't know what to say when you're complimenting me so.
But Your Highness,
if you are looking for the jade belt,
it is already too late.
How did you know about that?
I'll tell you the truth.
There was a request for me to find the jade belt.
Therefore, I had people find the jade belt.
However, the jade belt is no longer in my hands.
What did you say?
Just who is it that took the jade belt?
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
I cannot tell you who the client is.
Do you think I, the Prince of your own country,
will not be able to open the mouth of a mere merchant?
You'll end up telling me anyway. So, don't waste your energy and tell me right now.
Although I'm merely a merchant,
I also have something called principle.
Even if you say that you'll kill me,
I can't reveal the client who has contracted with me.
Your fame surely wasn't in vain.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
There is something about which I am suddenly curious.
And, that is how the person, who took the jade belt, will use it.
Knowing whether the great person, who made you close your mouth,
is on my side or not,
wouldn't be a bad thing.
You weren't able to find it?
Did the gisaengs not give it?
Then you should have given them some money, but you cut the pay for the drinks?
Hon!
Where are you going?
What are thinking about doing without the jade belt?
Then what should I do, Brother?
You should just stay out of it.
I'll tell His Majesty that you're sick.
What can His Majesty do when I tell him you're vomiting and having diarrhea?
We need to delay for more time.
We must get ourselves out of this crisis first.
I have a plan.
Continue.
Tonight, we will go to HaeWolGwon.
What can I do when even you couldn't solve the problem. As your hyung, of course I need to help you.
Instead,
If you can just pay for the drinks...
Useless man.
Your Majesty,
I'm sorry to say this, but,
the precious item that you awarded
has been found in a suspicious location.
This is like dropping the royal family onto the dirt, so,
please make sure that this doesn't happen again.
A precious item?
What is that?
Is this...
Isn't that . . .
the jade belt that Your Majesty gave to Gwang Hae?
Where is this suspicious place?
Tell me.
Where is that?
It's hard for me to say to you, Your Majesty.
Please understand.
Gwang Hae,
What happened?
A suspicious place?
Where is that?
Wouldn't you tell me what happened right now?
I won't make any excuses.
All of this is because I didn't take proper care of the precious item that you gave me.
It is my fault.
So, please give me any punishment.
This royal gift was given to you also as a certificate of the appointment as a second official.
The fact that you didn't treat this royal gift with care
means that
you consider the certificate of the second official appointment trivial as well.
No, That isn't it, Your Majesty!
I don't want to hear it!
Didn't you ask me to give you any punishment?
Shin Seong, step forward.
I appoint you as the head official in Saongwon.
Your Majesty, isn't that Gwang Hae hyung's position?
It's the position which Gwang Hae himself threw away.
Gwang Hae, you..
Gwang Hae, you,
will work as a assistant
and help Shin Seong.
Your Majesty, that can't happen.
Please retract your order, Your Majesty.
It's an order.
His Majesty put Gwang Hae under Shin Seong Goon?
Yes, Your Highness.
With this,
His Majesty couldn't have shown His Royal thought more clearly.
Congratulations, Prince Shin Seong Goon.
Your Highness, I don't want this.
How can I be the head official when Hyung-nim is the second official?
What can I do with that position?
Oh my.
What are trying to do, Prince Shin Seong?
Don't do anything.
Bunwon Chief will take care of Bunwon matters,
and if necessary, this minister here will make his move.
That is right, Your Highness.
You have me and Her Highness next to you, so,
don't worry about anything.
All you have to do is stay put.
The good things will go to you, while
the things you can't do, will go to Gwang Hae.
You just have to keep that spot.
His Majesty is taking it too far.
Anyhow, do you think Prince Shin Seong is going to stay there forever?
Isn't this more harsh
than sending you to an office in the local region?
I said that I'll take the punishment.
Use me.
Go visit His Majesty,
and say you can never be under the young Prince Shin Seong.
Instead, tell him you'll go under Im Hae hyung.
Put in that request.
Once I've become the head official,
how well will I watch over you?
Everything will be fine if you do as I say.
Okay, fine get bossed around by a little one.
You'll regret not listening to me for the rest of your life!
I was about to pay you a visit, yet here we are.
I'm sorry for not extending my greetings to you more often, Your Highness.
No, not to worry.
Frequenting Gi Bang in addition to working in Bunwon,
you must be busy day and night, so I, as your mother, must understand.
It's natural for a man to enjoy the arts, after all.
It's not even that big of a mistake, and yet,his punishment was so harsh.
Our Shin Seong is also very worried because of that matter.
Please take a good care of him.
I'm sorry to have caused you great concern.
I was dull and allowed the matter grow into this.
The darkest place is under the lamp. Things would've been much simpler, had I consulted with you first.
All my efforts were in vain.
From now on, when I'm in trouble, you will be the first one I'll think of.
I will definitely see you first.
Did you go sightseeing or something?
Teacher...
Why are you so late, doing what, where?
Just like you said, Hae Wol Gwan put high prices on your bowls.
However, the money...
Was it stolen?
I'm sorry.
It's not unusual of you.
Still, I somehow managed to get your medicine.
I have to boil the medicine soon, so please scold me later.
This is the list of Bunwon ceramists and this is the work log.
I've recorded the kinds of glaze we use, as well as the white clay and firewoods being used.
So it'll help you grasp an idea of what we do at Bunwon.
Hyung-nim, don't do this.
Why are you using honorifics to me?
This is Bunwon.
It is natural for me, who's the second official, to be polite to you, who's the head official.
You'll also get used to it soon.
At least when we're alone, please treat me the same as before.
I'll do that. (in informal way)
But I'm going to be very polite in front of everyone else.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that I might fall into disgrace with His Majesty.
And I'm afraid that I might disappoint Her Highness.
I'm also afraid that I might grow distant from you.
What you should be really afraid of now... is the people in Bunwon.
Every one of them will look to you.
You, who's of the highest rank, shouldn't be so nervous.
I'll help you as much as I can, as a hyung, and as the second official.
Do the best you can.
Thank you, Hyung-nim.
Everyone's congregated to see you. Let's go.
Prince Shin Seong has been appointed the head official of Saongwon as of today.
This Bunwon will also be lead by Prince Shin Seong, so assist him accordingly.
Let's all get along well.
Congratulations, Your Highness.
The era of Lee Kang Cheon has come upon us.
The complete era of Lee Kang Cheon.
Life has its ups and downs.
Downs? Downs, my ass.
Lee Kang Cheon's descent will mean his son, Lee Yook Do's, ascent.
What difference will it make?
Right.
It's too late to be in the favor of Lee Kang Cheon.
Yes, I've made up my mind.
From now on, no matter what others say,
I will be Lee Yook Do's everlasting jingle-jangle (sycophant).
What's wrong, Royal Ceramist Lee?
An artist from Do Hwa Seo (the painting bureau) sent me a picture.
But I don't like it at all.
He didn't consider the proportion between the opening and the bottom parts, at all.
He just filled it in with pictures. No wonder it's like this.
Is there any way to get hold of
hwae hwae cheong used in Do Hwa Seo instead of the paint regularly supplied to Bunwon?
It's been very tightly managed even in Do Hwa Seo lately, so it will be difficult--
No.
I'll look into it.
If it's you, Royal Ceramist Lee, who wants it, of course I should get it.
Go back. I don't have anything to hear from you.
It's a misunderstanding, Sir Bunwon Chief.
There's no problem in the paint we supplied to you.
Can't you see all this?!!!
Isn't it that you reduced the density to increase the quantity of the paint?
We promised that we would supply the best paint.
But if that promise wasn't kept, it's the fault of mine, who's the head of our company.
Sir. Bunwon Chief.
There will be no more mistake like this.
- Please ease your anger-- - It's already too late.
I will never do business
with your company.
How could you not check the mere paint?
I'm sorry, Madam Haeng Soo. I will receive the punishment I deserve.
This is not a matter of whether you get punished or not.
If we don't change Bunwon Chief Lee's mind immediately, it may well be the end of our company.
How do you feel,
about having removed Prince Gwang Hae, who was like a thorn in your eyes?
I should've taken care of it myself, but I ended up getting you involved in it.
- I'm truly ashamed. - We're in the same boat anyways.
Why say such things?
Haeng Soo Sohn had a significant role this time.
I would like you to take good care of her.
I think it's about time to change the company we do business with.
Why is that?
The paint we received from Haeng Soo Sohn's company
had problems.
What to do...
Although she's a woman, she's not an easy mark.
Despite the chance that we may need her back later, we should make her humble, at least once.
I'll take care of it, so please pretend you didn't know.
I'll visit the Bunwon Chief tomorrow and apologize.
That won't change his mind.
We need to find his weakness.
Do you know what the weakness of a parent is?
It's the child.
When you say 'the child,' are you referring to Royal Ceramist Lee Yook Do?
We must shake him.
Can you do that?
Pardon?
I know with whom your heart is.
Madam!
Whether you will become my successor, or
whether you'll just live a life of a regular wife who only looks at one man,
this will be the test to decide it.
Teacher.
That's a medicine you take for your shoulder pain.
Why did you fill all the wine bottles with medicine?
You were refusing to take the medicine, so I had no other way.
What?
And this medicine is for when you have a cold.
And those over there are for when you vomit.
In case you don't know, is all in here.
Here's the clothes for winter and here's the clothes for summer.
Are you really leaving?
Teacher..
To become Joseon's best ceramist, I have to become a Bunwon Ceramist, as you know.
I have, until now,
taught an illiterate.
I have told you numerous times that
you should be able to see the beauty in the rugged bowl that regular people use,
rather than in the fancy ceramics made in Bunwon.
Turn into the best ceramist?
What difference will it make?
If I turn into the best ceramist...
I think I can find out why my father died, Teacher.
Because I think I'm going to be able to prove
that my father was unfairly charged with treason, Teacher.
Answer me.
What can I do about the fact that I'm illiterate?
Honestly, all I can do here is to make an earthen jar or rugged bowl.
I want to make tableware the King uses, too.
Please allow me to do so, Teacher.
I don't even want to see you.
Go and rest.
That kid has already grown up this much.
How will I be able to send her away?
They were always too big when I was little,
now they fit me perfectly.
Who are you?
Attack him!
Aigoo.
Jung, the person who killed Ajusshi has a scar on high right shoulder.
I will definitely find him.
Jung.
Yes, Teacher?
I'm Jung.
Oh.
What kind of boy has the name Jung? Jung?!?
From now on your name is no longer Jung.
It's Tae Pyung.
Pardon?
Tae Pyung... don't be impatient, and
be peaceful about everything, just like your name.
Do not go through anything, and just...
be safe and have nothing happen to you.
Teacher, be sure to eat well even when I'm gone.
What are you saying...
Teacher...
Are you crying?
Of course, you idiot!
I've finally become
free in many years.
How can I not tear up? Go now!
Dad.
Dad, even when I come like this you'll say "Aigoo my daughter Jung has come."
You recognize me.
Right?
But,
I'm no longer Jung, but Tae Pyung.
Yoo Tae Pyung.
I wasn't going to come here until I'd become a ceramist.
But I just missed you very very...
And very...
very much.
I'm not crying... I'm watching you, Dad.
Dad...
Dad, your daughter Jung Yi will definitely become a ceramist.
So don't you worry at all, and be a proud husband.
Okay?
I am going to Bunwon now.
I really won't come dad.
Instead, Tae Do will come.
You know that too, right?
It's him, right?
Excuse me, where do I have to go to reach Bunwon?
You want to become an errand man?
Those men over there are heading to Bunwon.
Just follow them.
The competition will be high.
Why... are you doing this?
We let you go too easily last time, didn't we?
Stay away, stay away.
If all of you don't stay away, I will... Stay away!!
Hey!
Give it back!
Don't play with that!
Give it back! Give it back!
Take it!
Give it back, please! Give it back, please!
Give it back!
Hey, YOU BASTARDS!
Return it, return it!
Hurry up and open it! This must be good.
Aigoo. Open it.
Ahh, that was hard.
What? It's not there?
Man, I thought he had a golden cow or something.
Eh, eh? Wow~
It's here! - It's here, it's here, it's here!
What is it? What is it?
What is this that is so well wrapped up?
Only straw shoes?!!!
This is really disappointing!
What do we have here?
Hey!
Son, my mood is not good today.
Today's really not going well.
What are you doing?
Disappear.
Yes, we'll disappear.
Let's go.
What the...? Where is it?
Hey, let's go together! I'm sorry.
Who are you?
Who are you...
to be carrying this?
Royal Ceramist, someone asked me to convey this to you.
Who?
Some carrier just said he brought it as an errand.
Did I convey to you something inappropriate?
Are you the Royal Ceramist Lee?
Are you the people who sent me the paint?
She has been waiting.
This place is the background of the landscape painted jar which you, Sir. Royal Ceramist, made, isn't it?
I, if I were ever going to meet you, wanted the place to be here.
I believe this has finally met its owner.
Isn't this... hwae hwae cheong (blue dye used as a glaze)?
Yes, Royal Ceramist.
It's a very precious item which has to be traded through the western company even in Meng.
The one which even the envoys cannot get their hands on, this is what it is.
But...
How am I the owner of this?
Who else is there, other than you, in all of Joseon
who knows the worth of this precious hwae hwae cheong and will make it shine?
Please make many fine works of art,
and let me enjoy the viewing of such works, as much as I have anticipated.
Did Royal Ceramist Lee receive hwae hwae cheong?
Yes.
He's a man who's very eager to make a fine piece of work.
We will receive a letter from Royal Ceramist Lee either today or tomorrow.
Before that, he'll need to find out who I am, so it'll take some time.
You gave him the precious hwae hwae cheong,
but you didn't even tell him who you were?
Don't worry.
Royal Ceramist Lee will surely find us.
Royal Ceramist Lee,
I looked everywhere,
but I hear that even Do Hwa Seo is out of it and they're desperate.
Royal Ceramist Lee.
Royal Ceramist Lee. Hey.
What the...?
There's Tae Do's shoes in the bundle...
If I meet you again.. I was going to show you that I fit these shoes.
I exposed it to sunlight... and the wind...
I've kept it with so much care...
It's something I used to take out and look at,
whenever I missed Orabeoni (Oppa).
I'm sorry, Orabeoni.
I'm sorry.
~ Preview ~
- It's me. - Who on earth are you?
Tae Pyung is here!
Did you think it'd be that easy to get into Bunwon?
You'll have to pass my test.
I remember you clearly, Sir.
I will send you to Bunwon.
You will not be disappointed.
I'm Jung Yi.
I'm... I'm...
Did you say Prince Gwang Hae?
If there happens to be a prince you like, let me know.
We must move Meng's ambassador's mind.
Lee Kang Cheong said he would get it prepared.
Did you just dare try to steal a bowl?!!
Prince Gwang Hae made me.
Whether he runs away, you must grab a hold of his ankle.
