Hong Gil-Dong
Episaode 19
Just keep looking at me by my side.
By your side? Like this?
That's right. Just stay like this.
Does it comfort you if I'm here like this?
Stupid girl.
I respect you.
If she is Ryu Yi Nok, we cannot allow her to be with Hong Gil Dong.
The murderer of her parents is his father.
We must take her to her grandfather immediately.
You're right.
But before that happens, we must not let her suspect anything.
Heo Yi Nok, don't you want to open your eyes?
I... I'm embarrassed...!
Dummy, are you alright?
I'm so embarrassed!
- Are you alright? - I'm... embarrassed!
Don't go that way!
She's so dumb...!
Episode 19
We barely saved her from the well!
What did you say to her? Was it so bad she jumped into the well?
She came all the way here just because of you! You're so mean!
She's even holding back on her "I love you". If you keep this up, you're dead meat.
- I... I just... - At least send her back to the Young Master!
I'm going to watch and see what you do to our Doe Eyes!
- Let's go! - Let me go!
I better slow down to her pace. I'm going to kill her at this rate!
Hey, Dummy! I mean Yi Nok!
Are you alright?
Don't be too upset. The chief is being cold to you just to look cool.
That's alright!
I'll tell you something because I think it'll make you feel better.
Gil Dong thinks about you a lot.
It's true. He takes the pouch you made for him everywhere he goes.
- I saw it myself. - The pretty pouch with the flowers?
It's not that pretty. Oh, and that was flowers?
In any case, he took that rag with him everywhere. And he would look at it often too.
Really?
I see...!
Why are you crying?
It's become a real rag!
I made that pouch. But it's a bit raggedy, isn't it?
If it rips, I'll sew it back for you!
I should ask her to repair it now.
If she is really Ryu Yi Nok, then I can make her come to me.
But... If that is how she will come to me...
... will she be happy?
I lost my parents when I was so young that I don't remember them anymore.
So I don't even miss them.
That's better. Children who have seen their parents die carry darkness in their heart.
Then I'm glad that I don't remember anything.
I'm glad too. Because I got to meet someone as cheerful as you.
That's right. I'm a cheerful Moonlight Warrior!
Be cheerful only to a certain extent. Sometimes you act kind of stupid.
I wonder if you call yourself the Moonlight Warrior because your face is like a moon...?
Then if I do this, should I call myself the Crescent Warrior?
The thought of her remembering her dark past...
... really worries me.
She will be returned to her original place.
We must make sure everything is confirmed and take it slow.
We have to make her hurt a little less, suffer a little less...
That's how I want to bring her back.
Hey, Gil Dong....!
Doe Eyes, I know you want him, but still...!
I suppose you have baser instincts too like the rest of us!
You don't seem like an innocent doe anymore!
I'll sew it up and give it to him again!
I'm embarrassed again!
How can you be so embarrassed after you've molested me like that?
You're just saying that.
- Doe Eyes, are you alright? - Yes, I'm fine.
Your butt is going to burst!
I have to get her to stop being embarrassed. At this rate, she's going to kill herself.
Today, Young Ho will be bringing Yi Nok...
I mean the Young Miss here.
I will also send a message to Lord Ryu to come here after his meeting.
Just the fact that she's alive is enough to put a stranglehold on the Interior Minister and the king.
You must reveal at the meeting today that Ryu Yi Nok is alive.
No. Wait until everything is confirmed.
This is the Sa Yin sword's inscription and the signatures of all those who support you.
Using that as a foundation, we will gather support from the scholars.
We will combine the forces of Mt. Geom with Hwal Bin Dang to grow our power.
Using Hwal Bin Dang and Hong Gil Dong will help our efforts in gaining the people's favor.
Even though you may discard him later, it is a wise decision to use him now!
I know you don't trust him.
But while I am together with him, you will all support him.
Hwal Bin Dang will work to promote the prince.
We have to prepare for a real battle. Thus we have to grow our strength.
Other groups have formed across the nation, calling themselves Hwal Bin Dang as well.
We must gather them under us.
You sure the palace guards are looking to capture the Mt. Geumwa Gang?
I confirmed it with Yongmun.
The Mt. Geumwa Gang is a large group, and the chief used to be a guerilla fighter.
Let's go meet them personally, and if they are decent men, we can ask them to join us.
If we prevent the guards from capturing them, I am sure they will support us.
How can they turn their backs on us if we shield them from arrows?
Prepare to leave tomorrow.
I thought about what you said.
If you give up your life, then your son Hong Gil Dong can be caught.
Pretense will not catch him.
Order my execution.
And the theft of the Sa Yin sword...
... will die with me.
You would give up your life for me?
I doubt it.
You regret supporting me. And now you want to let me go.
Am I wrong?
I can do nothing else but protect you.
Because of my commitment to protect the king,
I could not face the world properly.
I will pay for my crime of not guarding you properly with my life.
So... You want to let go of me by dying?
I told you before that you can regret putting me here on the throne.
But I will not allow you to give up!
You must live and watch me to the end!
Even if I am destroyed, you must watch me to the end!
Go and bring me Ryu Yi Nok's life!
That is what you must do for me.
Send out all the men secretly and find Heo Yi Nok.
But before that, go and bring me that medicine peddler.
I'll sew him some red flowers! I'll do it quickly before he leaves for Mt. Geumwa!
It's good that he likes you enough to have kept that rag.
Actually, Gil Dong told me I was pretty too!
You are pretty. You look a mess now, but if you are nicely dressed, you're quite pretty!
You mean I'm not pretty now?
Well, you have a unique charm.
Old man, if I put up my hair and dress up, do you think I'll look pretty?
You sly fox! Now Gil Dong likes you, you want to put your hair up and get married?
How embarrassing!
- You want something like that? - Yes.
That's good. I couldn't sleep at night thinking that your crush on him was one-sided.
Gomi told me that your snoring keeps him up every night!
That's because he's mistaken my sighing for snoring.
- That man is...! - Who is he?
How strange! That old man is really white!
He looks like he wouldn't have a speck of dirt on him!
Yi Nok, how you feel if that elegant gentleman was your grandfather?
How would you feel if a refined young lady was your granddaughter?
- I don't want that! - Me neither.
We haven't done that in a while, but we still have it!
Is there anything on your granddaughter's body that can help you identify her?
Have you found out something about her?
We don't have anything concrete yet, but we need a way to confirm her identity.
I am sure she will resemble my son.
- She disappeared when she was very young. - But my granddaughter looked exactly like her father.
If I saw her in front of me, I would be able to recognize her instantly!
I should head back. If I want to sew this before Gil Dong leaves, I'm going to be busy!
You go ahead. I'm staying at the capital tonight.
Why?
I want to find a hair ornament for my granddaughter to put her hair up with!
You're the only one that cares about me! Here, have more buns.
What's the occasion?
Oh, I have to get more Chunmyungdan for the medicine shop!
- I'll take it tomorrow. - I knew you would!
- Here, have some more. - No, you eat it.
Miss Heo!
- What brings you here? - I went to the mountain to look for you.
- Me? - The Young Master has asked for you.
Is something wrong?
I have brought Miss Heo.
Is someone joining us?
- Send her in. - Yes, Madam.
No.
We have a guest here. Ask her to wait.
Yes, Your Highness.
Please return home.
I will see you next time, Your Highness.
What do I do with you, Yi Nok?
Young Master!
How much is this?
Why? So you can take the most expensive one?
- About five yang? - Yes, about that. I'm sure you feel bad.
Try and dig a hole all day and see if you find five yang!
Here.
What?
I can't believe you just paid me!
Oh my god!
Don't cry. I shouldn't have made you cry. Give it back then.
Since I'm touched, I'll tell you something.
Tell Yi Nok to be careful.
- Yi Nok? - Yes, your father has been looking for her!
I see. I'm sure he wants to use her to get me.
But the strange thing is that the man he sent asked a lot of questions about her.
- About Yi Nok? - Yes! I don't think he wants to use her to get you.
I think they want her instead.
He wants Yi Nok?
I will make sure I get Gil Dong this time.
I doubt Mt. Geumwa is where Hwal Bin Dang is.
But since they call themselves Hwal Bin Dang too, they will be related to them in some way.
Be careful.
Don't be reckless and hurt yourself because of your hatred for Gil Dong.
Are you worried for me, or... Are you worried about Gil Dong?
Let me be the only cold-hearted man who would slay his own flesh and blood.
I'll do it. I'll catch him and protect our family and our honor!
In Hyung, don't be like me.
The only way for me to keep my loved ones is to slay him.
I will not regret my actions.
You wanted to see me so that you could ask about the hideout?
Gil Dong has prepared well for the trip to Mt. Geumwa.
But anyway, I was going to come and see you too.
When you first told me to not come to Yongmun anymore,
I thought it was because now that I know everything, we can't be comfortable.
But I think I was mistaken.
Did you just realize it now?
But Young Master... I really really like Gil Dong.
I know. I'm not as clueless as you.
Yi Nok, you are really special to me.
I know.
No, you are more special than you think.
You are so special that I tried to forget how I felt about you.
So special that I tried to protect you by doing that.
Thank you, Young Master.
Go home.
What are you looking for?
I want an elegant and attractive hair ornament for my granddaughter who is going to get married!
Let's see... What about this gold one? This one's quite a quality item!
But wouldn't she need more than a hair ornament to get married...?
Is the wedding to the Interior Minister's son called off completely?
I never wanted to marry him in the first place.
I am certain your father does not know about the prince yet.
He will not have imagined in his wildest dreams that Yongmun is his headquarters.
If the prince succeeds in his coup, what will happen to Hong Gil Dong?
If he becomes king, then Hong Gil Dong...
Can he become a nobleman?
Is that what you want?
Then I can have him.
For that, I can help you by swaying my Father to support you.
If you will support us, then we will have to give you what you desire.
Yes, I will have what I want.
Flowers are really difficult. I should have stitched steamed buns instead.
- That's good enough. - Oh, Gil Dong!
- Are you alright? - You dumb girl!
That must have hurt!
Here.
You're alright now, right? Now you won't be embarrassed anymore.
That is great!
Now give that back to me.
- Your embroidery has improved a lot! - If it tears again, I sew it for you!
I promised you that last time, but I couldn't sew it back for so long.
We're together now, so don't be worried about that.
- We're together forever, right? - Yes... yes!
- Do you like your glasses? - Yes, I love it!
- Were you really going to sew steamed buns? - Yes, do you want one now?
Later.
Yi Nok is just Heo Yi Nok. She's not Ryu Yi Nok!
But her circumstances are similar! You must confirm her identity!
You need her along with the Sa Yin sword!
I don't want to make her into Ryu Yi Nok and hurt her!
Not knowing how her parents died and who she is...
That is a bad thing too.
I saw my mother murdered and had revenge running in my blood all my life!
That pain and burden...
I know it only too well.
I don't want her to know those things.
I want her to be ignorant of her dark past and leave her to laugh as she usually does.
The name Yi Nok was given to her by your mother
to forge a good relationship with Lord Ryu.
My mother and her parents both died in suffering.
If that is the kind of relationship that was forged, that it is better to leave it alone.
If Yi Nok finds out later, it will give her more suffering.
I have to make sure that it does not happen.
My granddaughter will bring more Chunmyungdang tomorrow.
This is really popular these days!
This is the source of Hong Gil Dong's strength! Of course it's popular!
I'll be on my way now!
- Oh no, look at what you've done! - Sorry.
- Tie him up and take him to the Minister. - Yes, Sir.
My grandfather is really strong! I'm safe if he's with me, so don't worry.
But don't go to Merchant Wang for the time being. And be careful in the capital.
- Actually, don't go anywhere. - Then should I go with you to Mt. Geumwa?
You've been out of it lately. Not this time.
But we'll tell your grandfather when we get back.
I told him already! He says it's alright! He says it's all fine!
Gil Dong, everyone's ready to leave. Let's go.
Really? I'll be back soon.
- What's that? - What?
- What? There's nothing there. - Really?
Let's go then.
Minister, Yi Nok is going to marry Gil Dong!
Please leave them alone.
My Yi Nok is just Heo Yi Nok. She is not Ryu Yi Nok.
She doesn't know anything about that.
Are you sure that she doesn't know who she is?
She doesn't know anything.
If you want to cover up the murder of her parents, then just take me.
She doesn't know anything!
- We'll have to confirm that. - She is supposed to be at the medicine store tomorrow.
Leave Yi Nok alone!
Watch the old man carefully. We can get Ryu Yi Nok tomorrow.
Interior Minister!
Yi Nok!
I'm so lucky. I'm so very lucky!
We will destroy Hwal Bin Dang tonight!
Do you think that the thieves who struck us last time is the real gang led by Hong Gil Dong?
There are so many groups calling themselves Hwal Bin Dang these days.
His Majesty has ordered the capture of all gangs calling themselves Hwal Bin Dang, real or fake!
The police will strike here tonight.
They are coming here because they have information, and we have intercepted it.
Does Hwal Bin Dang and Hong Gil Dong really support the prince?
That's right. We will make him the king.
We will change this country's king.
The present king is decayed! He's completely insane!
I saw him for myself. We want to raise the king with our own hands.
Do you think it's possible for the people of this country to raise a king?
Yes, that is what should happen, and that is what will happen.
So what do you think? Will you join us?
Raise the king ourselves...?
What better way to change the world! We will join Hwal Bin Dang and you!
Then we will attack the police together tonight.
We will use their own tactic against them.
- Their den is beyond the hill. Prepare for battle! - Prepare for battle!
- My Lord, their hideout is empty! - What?
- There's no one there. - Damn!
Archers!
Watch out!
We attack them now!
It's Hwal Bin Dang! Attack!
You...!
I was waiting for you... Older Brother.
- Dummy! Where are you going? - To deliver some medicine to my grandfather!
You're always out when the chief is not around! You're such a philandering Moonlight Warrior!
- What? - That's what your grandfather said.
Moonlight Warrior, my butt! You're more like Moonface Warrior!
How could you spread such rumors about your own granddaughter, old man!
You're dead, old man!
Yi Nok... Don't go to the medicine shop!
You're going to die if the Interior Minister gets you!
We are here to arrest a criminal, so empty the shop of people!
Yes, Sir.
What's this? Why are you doing this?
Are you sure the girl is coming here?
He said that she was going to deliver the medicine. She will be here shortly.
His Majesty has ordered us to bring her in alive, but if she runs, to bring her dead body in.
It looks so heavy! Shall I carry it for you?
No, that's alright.
I'm going to have to eat a thousand Chunmyungdan after this!
Old man!
Where is everyone?
That's the girl who stole the Sa Yin sword from the palace!
Are you Ryu Yi Nok?
- Interior Minister! - I will ask you again.
Are you Ryu Yi Nok?
I am Heo Yi Nok.
Do you really not know anything?
You don't know who your father is? Who you are?
I am just Heo Yi Nok!
Even if you don't know, it'll be the same.
You should have died long ago.
For the sake of His Majesty, you cannot be alive.
Take her into the palace quietly.
Grandfather!
- Grandfather! Grandfather! - Let's go.
- Follow them! - Yes, Sir!
- Get them! - Yes, Sir!
Get them!
This place is easy to spot from the road.
If you shout for help, someone will surely rescue you.
Gil Dong, do you think you will be safe after you've done this?
If you keep coming us in this way, then I'll be safe.
But I don't know if you'll be.
If you discard your dignity and shout for help, then you might be safe.
You!
Do you want Father to die because of you?
If you're backing the prince, then you should know well that in the end,
you have to kill Father.
Will you make Father beg for his life like you're doing to me?
You know that he would never do such a thing.
He's not like you.
He won't be safe.
Before that happens, I'll get you! I'll kill you!
Your Highness, the police are looking for Hwal Bin Dang in the capital!
What are you saying? Hwal Bin Dang is at Mt. Geumwa!
They are not looking for Hong Gil Dong. They're here for a girl and an old man.
And they were medicine peddlers.
They came for Yi Nok?
We should be safe here. Old man, are you alright?
That monk should have seen me fight today. Then he would shut up about being better than me!
What a waste!
Grandfather!
Why are you bleeding so much?
Open your eyes, old man! Old man!
I was so stupid to get caught. But you get hurt instead of me!
What do I do? It's all because of me!
Yi Nok...
You're a good girl.
You're a good Moonlight Warrior.
Live like a good girl like you are now.
You must forgive everyone.
Grandfather! What's wrong with you?
I'm worried you'll be angry with me.
I don't know if I can sleep in peace.
Grandfather...
Grandfather!
Gil Dong, are you thinking about your Father?
He's your Father. You can't just...
You can't do it.
- We found her. - Is she safe?
She...
Yi Nok...!
Young Master.
My old man is...
My grandfather is...
Yi Nok! Yi Nok!
What? Palace guards attacked Hwal Bin Dang?
- Whom did they attack? - I'm not sure who.
But Yi Nok didn't come home last night.
But they say she escaped. We're looking for her right now.
- The prince has asked us to bring you. - Is Yi Nok at Yongmun?
- Yes. - Is she safe? Is she hurt?
Miss Heo is safe.
What a relief! I almost died just now!
Go and burn that.
What about my grandfather?
We cleansed his body and buried him.
When I changed her clothes, I confirmed a burn scar on her wrist.
She is Ryu Yi Nok.
If I had told her everything then and brought her here,
this would not have happened.
The man who led the palace guards was the Interior Minister, Hong Seo Hyun.
It is clear he knows who she is.
We cannot hide this any longer. We must tell her everything!
If only I hadn't been so dumb to get caught...
If only I hadn't been his granddaughter...
It's not your fault.
And he...
... was not your real grandfather.
I have to meet the prince anyway, so I'll go and bring her back.
I'll boil some noodles and wait for you two.
Go and bring your bride.
Let's boil water and knead.
Let's make noodles! (Noodles - customary to eat during weddings)
On the sword you stole from the palace, my late father inscribed a secret message.
It was a message to make me, his legitimate heir, king, and overthrow the present king.
The man who was given this sword was the Minister of War,
...Lord Ryu Geun Chan.
That man... is your real father.
What are you saying?
The Minister of War was my father?
Yi Nok, you're not Heo Yi Nok.
You are Ryu Yi Nok.
To protect his position on the throne, the present king had to hide this sword.
He sent assassins to kill your family.
Your father and mother were both killed.
But you were saved by your grandfather.
He raised you as his granddaughter.
Who was the one who killed my family?
Was he... Gil Dong's father?
He tried to get me not because I was Hwal Bin Dang, but because I was Ryu Yi Nok?
He tried to keep it a secret, but when he found out you were alive,
he tried to eliminate you.
Then... then...?
The one who killed your real parents, and killed your grandfather,
and is now trying to kill you is the Interior Minister Hong Seo Hyun...
... Hong Gil Dong's father!
Gil Dong's father?
The one who killed my parents and killed my grandfather...
... was Gil Dong's father?
That's impossible.
It's not real.
It must be a dream!
So you weren't able to kill her.
So Hong Gil Dong, the prince and now her...
They were all killed by you and have returned as ghosts.
Does that mean you can't kill them again?
Then have me executed. I will protect you with my life.
No!
You have to stay with me until the end!
I don't care if you regret it or hate me!
You have to watch me until the end, because you protected me from the beginning.
You have to stay with me!
- Where's Yi Nok? - Please speak with the prince first.
Yi Nok first. Where is she?
- What's wrong? - Yi Nok's grandfather has died.
The one who killed him was your father.
Young Miss...
This was found on your grandfather. I brought it here for you.
My grandfather is dead.
That man...
... killed them all!
The Interior Minister Hong Seo Hyun... Hong Gil Dong's father!
Don't you know who your father is, who you are?
- My father? - That's right.
The man who killed both her parents and the man who raised her was...
... your own father.
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
We can't harm her. We better go inform them.
- I have to see Yi Nok. - Go back home.
You will only make it worse.
Something happened! Miss Heo has disappeared!
My sword... my sword is gone!
His Majesty has ordered it! We must find Yi Nok.
The man who was with her has a wound. They can't have gone far.
I will dispatch all of the police force as well as our servants to find her.
Father, are you alright?
I'm fine.
I can't die. That is His Majesty's orders.
You may go.
Here's your medicine, Excellency.
You...
I'll kill you.
Die!
- Move! - Yi Nok!
Move!
I can't let you kill my father!
- No, Heo Yi Nok! - Move!
- Grandfather... - Your real grandfather is still alive.
Mt. Machun dares to obey Hwal Bin Dang instead of me!
- Burn it down! - Try and burn it.
Before the mountain burns down, we will.
I'm going to live as a human again.
Let me meet Ryu Yi Nok's grandfather.
I order death by poison!
Please just once...!
Just look at me!
