Soldiers of Goguryeo,
look toward the fertile land of Nakrang beyond those hills.
Do you not want that land?
Your King, Daemushin, desires that land!
We want that land, Your Majesty!
Let us take Nakrang.
We'll take that land, rule over Yellow Sea and
make slaves of the despicable Nakrang!
Do you know the story of
Princess Nakrang and Prince Hodong?
The most beautiful but tragic love story.
The story of Princess Nakrang, who betrayed her country
for her love, Prince Hodong, isn't just folklore.
We're about to bring to life the story of the
Kingdom of Nakrang which won its independence from
the Four Commanderies of Han, and only lasted seven years.
38 AD, 1 year after the collapse of Nakrang
NAKRANG'S REBEL ARMYCAMP
Allow me.
Let your childless aunt enjoy the pleasure of rearing a son.
You're done.
Part 1
l think we found it.
Princess Nakrang's grave.
HODONG Prince of Goguryeo
Where is it?
lf you knew, would you go to her grave
and console her poor soul?
Why do you disturb the prince?
How dare you enterthis room?
l brought his milk...
Leave it there!
Yes.
YEORANG/Hodong's Aunt The crowning is just around the corner.
Do not cause any trouble.
Why are you still here?
Pardon me, My Lady.
The Queen's looking for an opportunity to get rid of you.
This is no time to be visiting the grave of a dead princess.
The Queen is desperate to make her son the crown prince.
Hodong.
Hodong!
Commander!
Hodong, the bastard is on the move.
WANG HOL, Leader of Nakrang's Rebel Army
l knew he'd visit La-hee's grave even if its once.
BU TUNG/General of Nakrang's Rebel Army l'll chop off his head and send it back to Goguryeo.
How many men are with him?
Just two.
A man named Taechu and Hodong himself.
l'll capture him alive with my own hands.
Let's just kill him.
lt'll cost us our men to capture him alive.
We must capture Hodong alive and exchange him for
our people living as slaves in Goguryeo.
Come people, you don't see this every day.
The amazing circus troupe
Happy Joy will premiere tomorrow.
Applause!
Here are some sweet candies!
Come over here. Applause!
Yes, it's something to wait for!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
The Amazing Happy Joy Circus finally arrives in Goguryeo!
Look!
They're no ordinary dolls.
Atragic love story that'll fill your eyes with tears.
The most scandalous love story of ourtime that
rocked Goguryeo and Nakrang.
Princess, come closer.
Oh Prince, not in the broad daylight.
The tale of Princess Nakrang and Prince Hodong!
The story of our Prince Hodong?
l know the story.
But do you know the truth or only fiction?
Was Jamyunggo, Nakrang's drum with mystical powers,
or just a drum or was it a beautiful princess?
Truth orfiction, fiction ortruth, the mystical Jamyunggo!
Nakrang, Jamyung, Jamyung, Nakrang, Hodong, Nakrang.
See foryourself!
Can you sell those dolls to me?
What will you do with them?
You seem way past the age to be playing with dolls.
SONG MAESEOLSU King Daemushin's Queen
How amusing...
A prince of a kingdom is the subject of a circus act.
Did you find out where Hodong is?
l think he left to find Princess Nakrang's grave.
He's digging his own grave.
Wake him. His nap is too long.
Yes, Your Majesty.
HAEAEWU / Hodong's Half Brother Prince, wake up.
Prince.
Don't be a baby.
Yourfather will soon decide on the crown prince.
You shouldn't behave like a baby.
l can't open my eyes.
Haeaewu, l wouldn't be so worried
if you were at least ten years old.
We've detected large-scale rebel movements in
Joseon, Kimang, Dunyu and Yeolgu as well.
Just how much longer do l have to be detained in Nakrang?
The massive land of Liadong awaits me.
No subject will willingly give up their country.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN Third King of Goguryeo So frustrating.
Someone must be leading the rebel movement.
lt's been more than a year since
Choi Li's was beheaded.
Who do they have to win their independence for?
Maybe the other princess is still alive,
giving hope to the people of Nakrang.
What do you mean?
From what l've found out, the dispersed people of Nakrang
firmly believe that Choi Li had another daughter besides Lahee
who'd save them and re-establish Nakrang.
ls that true?
l can't say for certain.
Did Choi Li indeed have another child besides Lahee?
You will have your answer if you ask Prince Hodong.
Ask Hodong?
Father, foryou.
What are they?
Don't they look like Lahee, the princess of Nakrang,
and Prince Hodong?
l've heard that circus troupes are putting on a puppet show
about Princess Nakrang and Prince Hodong.
ls that so?
You're well aware of it.
Who is this?
She's the other princess of Nakrang, Princess Jamyung.
Bring me Prince Hodong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Prince Hodong has left to find Princess Lahee's grave.
Bring Hodong right now!
PRlNCESS LAHEE'S GRAVE Modern-day Pyeongyang
LAHEE l'll tearJamyunggo foryou.
Lahee.
Don't be so overjoyed.
l'm not doing it foryou, but for me.
Hodong.
l can't watch you die.
You bastard.
The grave of Princess Lahee,
who, blinded by love, betrayed her country.
So how does it feel to have betrayed your country
for a man?
Lahee, do you regret it?
For meeting me?
For being used by me?
Or...
because l didn't love you?
The winter's coming.
We were both born with the fates of
a prince and a princess.
Lahee.
Do you know where Jamyung is?
Prince! We have a message from the palace.
Go!
What is it?
Father summoned me.
They're Nakrang's rebel army.
Wang Hol!
You coward.
You dare to attack the visitor of your late princess's grave?
She was our princess before you ruined her,
but when she forsook Nakrang foryou,
we also forsook Lahee!
Capture him alive!
Bu Tung!
The water's cold. Go back now.
Wang Hol! Where is your princess?
Where is Princess Jamyung?
Do you have the right to ask that?
ls she dead or alive?
That's all l want to know.
Why are you outside, Uncle?
WU NARU Hodong's Uncle
This is no time to be visiting Nakrang Princess's grave.
The nobles are already against appointing you crown prince.
Why make trouble?
They never needed a reason to be dissatisfied with me.
My very existence upsets them.
Your Highness.
Can't you try to make a better impression on them?
Flatterthem and give them bribes.
Entertain them now and then.
lt's getting harderto face Father.
Did you have a safe trip to Princess Lahee's grave?
l had a safe trip, thanks to your concern, Mother.
Brother!
Yes.
You've become heavier.
You'll scare him. Put him down.
- Haeaewu. - Hodong.
What's the matter?
Are you afraid l'll drop him?
Like this?
- What are you doing? - Haeaewu!
lt's all right. Don't be afraid.
What are you worried about, Your Majesties?
Do you think l'd kill my little brotherforthe throne?
Don't be so arrogant.
You've made a mockery of yourself.
Do you think you conquered Nakrang?
l believe l did. Mother.
Leave us, everyone.
Queen, leave us with Haeaewu.
Hodong is mocking me, Your Majesty.
Go to your chambers!
Let's go.
There's a place in the marketplace where men sell
their sleep for money.
How is that any different from snatching up Nakrang
by seducing a girl?
ls that a proper act of a royal prince?
l'm ashamed foryou.
You're absolutely right, Mother.
Vulgar son of a lowly tramp...
Just what is your problem?
You know how to expand our land,
but you do not know how to rule it.
What did you say?
You dare mock me?
Or are you trying to lecture me?
Please watch overthe people of Nakrang.
Father, did you not promise me you'd show mercy to the people
of Nakrang if you could have Nakrang without bloodshed?
Please have mercy on them.
lf this continues, there will be endless insurgencies,
and their people will all end up dead.
Your grandfather King Yurimyeong
killed two of his own children.
As a young boy, l couldn't understand him.
How...
How could...
a father kill his own children...
Unless he was crazy...
... how could he kill his own children?
But l understand it today.
To a king, a son with a different opinion is
nothing more than a political enemy.
An enemy he must get rid of.
Do you wish to...
... kill me?
You must know who the girl is.
Who is she?
She's Princess Jamyung, King Choi's secret daughter.
Find her and kill her.
Father.
l cannot do that.
l...
You'll be made crown prince
the day you slay Princess Jamyung.
lf yourfather, King Daemushin, expanded our land,
you'll live to show the world how that land is ruled.
l, Hodong, will obey your order.
Be on the lookout.
l'm so scared.
Princess.
Did you reach Commander Wang Hol?
Yes.
He failed to capture Hodong alive, but he promised
to join you with his army and rescue the people.
Princess Jamyung.
Princess.
What?
WU NARU The sun will set soon. Where are you going?
We have an important marital matterto discuss today.
YEORANG We can do that after l come back from the puppet show.
Puppet show? That hideous show about
Prince Hodong and the Princess of Nakrang?
Why would you watch something like that?
Because nothing elegant is fun.
Let's go.
Wife. Princess.
What now?
l'll go with you.
But you said the show was hideous.
Yes, so l must keep my eye on it.
- Let us go. - Go.
To a king, a son with a different opinion is
nothing more than a political enemy.
You'll be made crown prince the day you slay Princess Jamyung.
lt's almost time.
Line up. Line up now!
You expect to get in with this?
All right.
Show the guests in.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Shall we make a grand entrance or just go in quietly?
What do you mean?
lf we pay without revealing our identity,
we'll get in quietly.
Or we could announce the princess's arrival and
go in without paying.
Let's just go in quietly.
All right.
Let's begin.
The show will begin!
Nakrang, Nakrang, it's the Kingdom of Nakrang,
the name alone is filled with beauty and prosperity.
Nakrang had a drum with mystical powers made from
the leather of a heavenly bull sent by Dangun Wanggeom.
The bull.
Why, that's a strong-looking bull.
Here, give a cry.
Are you kidding me?
l said l don't want to play the bull.
Cry louder!
There you go.
l wish to make a big drum with your leather.
ls that alright with you?
Very good.
That is a magnificent drum.
Now l must give you a name.
We're in big trouble!
- We're in big trouble! - What happen?
The prince is here.
Prince Hodong is here.
Prince Hodong?
Hodong?
Maybe His Majesty sent him to bring you.
Get up.
Hooray for Prince Hodong!
Hooray for Goguryeo!
Hooray for Prince Hodong!
Hooray for Goguryeo!
Hooray for Prince Hodong!
Hooray for Goguryeo!
Hooray for Prince Hodong!
Hooray for Goguryeo!
l'm so sorry.
l'm sorry.
We'll sit in the front row tomorrow.
l didn't expect to see you here.
How can l miss it when
it's the love story of you and Princess Nakrang?
How was Princess Nakrang's grave?
Then again, there's no point in asking.
lt's the grave of a princess of a fallen kingdom.
Princess, you knew why Prince Hodong went to Nakrang?
Do l have to tell you every little thing?
Of course.
Husband and wife are of one mind and body.
l'm really disappointed.
Let's sit down.
Everyone's gone. Let's restart the show.
Yes, sir!
Then from the beginning...
Yes, from the beginning.
Don't worry. Rest assured!
Prince Hodong is just here to watch our show.
So don't worry and let's start overfrom the beginning!
Understand?
The show will begin!
Prince, my Prince Hodong,
is something troubling you?
Why do you not smile at me, Lahee, like you used to?
Princess Nakrang, l hear that you have a drum with
mystical powers that'll alert you of invaders.
ls that true?
Yes, my prince.
lt's the treasure of our country.
We'll be safe from any invaders as long as
we have Jamyunggo.
WANGGEOM PALACE, NAKRANG 1 year before the fall of Nakrang
CHOl Ll / King of Nakrang Goguryeo's king wants to see Jamyunggo for himself
to confirm its mystical powers.
l have no way to stop him.
Today, 30 of Goguryeo's troops will cross
our northern border.
lf Jamyunggo doesn't beat by itself then,
Goguryeo will attack.
PRlNCESS JAMYUNG We still don't have enough military strength
PRlNCESS JAMYUNG to fight Goguryeo.
What else can we do?
We don't know when
the Goguryeo army will cross the border.
Will you be able to sound the drum?
Jamyung.
l trust you with the fate of our kingdom.
No one but myself and the priestess are allowed inside.
Not even our highest officials may enter.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN l'll take Hodong with me, since he's my successor.
Certainly.
l must go in as well.
Lahee.
l, your successor, l can't go in,
when a prince of Goguryeo can?
l'll someday rule Jamyunggo as well.
HODONG King Daemushin's Son
This is Jamyunggo?
That's right, King of Goguryeo.
But the size doesn't attest to its power.
l'll see for myself its mystical power.
Consider it the price you pay for seeing Jamyunggo
when all the Goguryeo soldiers
who cross our border die.
Dangun Wanggeom, please watch over Nakrang.
The people of Nakrang are your descendants.
Please watch over us so that our people will be
spared from war.
The future of Nakrang rests on this hour.
Please spare us
from being trampled by the Goguryeo army.
BORDER lN JUNGJlHYEON
MlNBONG, TANYEOLHYEON
MUKBANG, JUNGJlHYEON
EUNPO BORDER, TANYEOLHYEON
King of Nakrang, l have proved today that
yourJamyunggo is nothing but a lie.
Princess.
The red hawk has soared.
Send the secret army to Eunpo.
Retreat.
Will you tear Jamyunggo for me?
What! What did you just say?
What an evil twist of fate...
l must betray my country for my love.
But if l choose my country, you will die.
Dear heaven...
Lahee, if you really love me and wish to be with me,
tear Jamyunggo for me.
lf you can't choose, just choose the one closest to you.
Prince Hodong.
This is fun.
What's funny about mocking Hodong?
lt's just a puppet show.
So!
Princess Nakrang betrayed her country and decided to
tear Jamyunggo, the treasure of Nakrang.
Who knew that Princess Nakrang's thoughtless act
of love would lead to the fall of Nakrang?
Prince, my Prince Hodong,
l'll tear Jamyunggo for you.
l may become the traitor who betrays her father and
her country, but l'll consider it my fate.
You will betray your country?
Hodong promised me that Goguryeo will treat us as
their brother country if l tearJamyunggo.
That they'll accept us as theirtributary state.
Princess Lahee, l can't let you destroy Nakrang.
Nakrang will eventually fall under Goguryeo.
l'll never let you destroy Jamyunggo.
You think you can stop me?
BORDER BETWEEN GOGURYEO AND NAKRANG
May l speak, Your Majesty?
Speak.
Nakrang is a sacred land.
KlNG DAEMUSHlN Third King of Goguryeo How can we violate the land of Jamyunggo,
KlNG DAEMUSHlN Third King of Goguryeo the land overseen by Dangun Wanggeom?
We have tried for more than a decade to conquer Nakrang,
Even General Wu Naru lost all of his men.
HODONG King Daemushin's Son Are you afraid to die?
l'm not afraid to die,
but l do not want to incur the wreath of Heaven.
Heaven has forsaken Nakrang.
THE GREAT KlNG DONGMYEONG The first king of Goguryeo The Great King Dongmyeong appeared in my dream last
night and said,
l shall punish Nakrang who has angered Heaven,
and l'll tearJamyunggo as a sign.
l would not dare to doubt the prince,
but how can we believe you?
When we hearthe sound of a whistle at six o'clock,
Boreuk will fly back with a proof that Jamyunggo was destroyed.
lt's useless to tearJamyunggo.
We can always make more drums.
Because l'm the Jamyunggo that protects Nakrang.
Only death falls on a princess who betrays Nakrang.
l'll leave yourfate to the king,
ourfather.
Jamyung.
You didn't... put poison...
Yes, l did.
Remember.
You are not the only one who loves Nakrang.
l also love Nakrang, and wish to save it even
as a tributary state of Goguryeo.
lf the Princess of Nakrang fails to tearJamyunggo,
you must hold the prince responsible and
expel him from the country.
Do you mean to kill Hodong?
l mean to protect him from the queen and the nobles.
l'll have him end his life.
Your Majesty.
l can't let my son be humiliated.
A prince who fails to become a king is better off dead.
Did you give way to the army of Goguryeo?
lt's unfortunate,
but l won't let taint my sword with your lowly blood.
The poison will spread to your heart in an hour.
Lahee.
This is the end.
Do you really want Hodong to die?
Can you go on when he does?
When l'm with you, l feel as if l'm dreaming,
as if l can be anything.
A kind man, a good husband, your man...
l want Nakrang because l want to be with you.
To have you fall asleep and wake up in my arms.
lt won't be a dream.
lt will be a reality.
Lahee is your reality. lt can't be me.
You are just Hodong's woman as well.
Maybe the poison on the dagger won't kill you,
but the poison on that will.
Do you know what your sin is?
l had to watch Hodong when all he cared about was you.
l can neverforgive you
for ripping my pride to shreds.
