Even in the midst of sorrow of having lost his mother, SooRo doesn't lose his fiery passion and builds a forge for the HaeBanCheon people. YiJinAhShi's...
purposelessness grows ever deeper and in the end grabs the outstretched hand of Talhae...
~ Episode 21 ~
My Lady!
My Lady, are you still sleeping?
L-L-Lady!
GiTae!
Make haste and bring a doctor here!
What are you doing, just standing there?!
Bring a doctor here right now!
A person is dying, I tell you!
Yes, sir.
What will this bring about?! If she dies...
it will be said that I killed SooRo's mother!
SooRo, that runt, will come running like the wind and try to kill me, who's alive!
Isn't that right, my Lady?!
My dear wife...I'm sorry!
If I knew this was going to happen, I would have made the wedding day a lot more glamorous for you!
More than that...
Since my wife is now gone...
SooRo, that runt...isn't he going to be of no relation to me, a stranger, again?!
What can be done about this?!
How can I deal with the consequences?
Mother.
Please open your eyes.
Mother, wake up.
I have come, mother.
Mother, why are you lying there like that?
What happened?
Mother.
Mother, do you not hear my words?
She must not be able to hear my words...
Mother, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry mother.
SooRo...
Don't be so sad.
I'm sure your mother went to a good place.
SooRo,
Let's go down now.
Won't you please go?
That poor woman, I feel so bad for her...
How happy she must be since she has been joined together with her previous husband!
I'm sure she met with Chief Swordsmith and went to a good place!
No matter how bad of a person he is...
not showing up for his wife's funeral is a bit... He's lower than an animal, he is!
Older brother...
Although we may not know what really happened...
rumor has it that Grand Duke Shin killed the former Chief Swordsmith's wife - everyone knows about it!...
he probably can't make his appearance anywhere out of fear!
Please be quiet.
I'm afraid Young Master SooRo will hear!
Lady Swordsmith...
I thought there wouldn't be any more reason for me to see your face ever again, Chief Seok...
It's said that one can never look a step ahead into the future to know what happens - that's life for humans...
Those words seem like they could be true.
After all, the neck that should have been cut and gone flying by my sword is yours.
Since your wife ended her life of her own accord in your master bedroom...
Your state of mind is not at peace either - at least, from what I understand...
As far as I know, now is not the time to be threatening me...
Move that tongue of yours carelessly one more time - then...
I could make it so you won't be able to open that mouth of yours.
It won't be too late to throw an angry fit after...
you listen to my words first.
Hand over that sword.
Before I cut off the neck of that bastard, Grand Duke Shin...
I can't do anything at all!
Foolish boy.
Is that the extent of your character - what you were made for?!
The enemy that was the cause of my mother's death...
how do you expect me to leave him alone so he can live?!
By showing the neck of your enemy in front of your mother who passed away...
do you think it will bring her back to life?!
You're right!
Of course, it can't undo it [bring her back to life].
You're right! It probably can't undo it and bring her back to life!
I wasn't able to kill the enemy even knowing that mother was being blackmailed.
WHAT could I envision, and...
plan for a better future when I can't even protect my own parent?!
What use is there - if any?!
I had expected more of you but...
I couldn't be more disappointed.
With that kind of heart, you won't be able to protect and keep your own self, not to mention get revenge!
I am embarrassed at myself for trusting you alone and following you all the way here!
I am so ashamed of myself that...
I just cannot endure it!
My stupidity!
My ignorance and negligence!
Because I feel like my negligence made my mother pass away...
I just cannot endure it - at all!
Mother...
SooRo...
Don't cry.
Lay aside the sword of revenge for now...
Enlarge your heart to take up vengeance against the injustice, not the desire for revenge against Grand Duke Shin!
That is what your dead mother would want as well, isn't it?
Why?
Why did you drag me all the way here?!
Aren't you even worried?
Worried?
What kind of worry?
Everyone's saying that Grand Duke Shin is finished! If we just stay here like this and do nothing...
What do you mean Grand Duke is finished?
Who said that?
If Lady CheonGoon and...
SooRo...combine their powers...
you might as well count the Grand Duke Shin as a dead man already!
Really?
That's the first time I've heard of such a thing...
But...if...
IF things were to turn out that way...
what do you think we should do?
What do you mean 'what should we do'?!
Like what everyone else is doing, we need to stick to SooRo's side like glue!
Then what about me?! Are you saying I should do the rat-like things that Talhae does?!
Th-That's not what I meant but Chief Yeom...
the only thing that you care about is wealth, isn't it?!
If we stay here like this then... our lives will be endangered and...
Truthfully, these days, the world is SooRo's - SooRo!
Everyone is making a huge fuss about how they can stick to SooRo but...
Then what about you? Do you have a link to SooRo?
Well, no, but...if you would just give me permission...
Previously, I had prepared a way to talk with SooRo in person, in case we ever needed it.
Really?
Is that for real?
But...how could someone like you make that kind of connection?
Ever since not too long ago, up until now, I have been having conversations with SooRo all...
ALL the while I have conversed with him!
A rascal like you...conversed?
Last time, when you said you were going to get rid of SooRo...
In truth, I...to SooRo...slightly gave him the heads up.
You! You want to die?!
You little rascal! On such an important matter - and without consulting me at all! Why I oughta!
I see you learned at least one thing well from me.
I did well, didn't I?
You see... a true businessman...
must be able to survive in all scenarios!
Yes, sir.
Isn't it about time for you to find some strength, Chief Swordsmith?
Do I look pitiful to you as well?
Of course you seem pitiful!
Truth is, the world sways their support to the one who seems most successful - everyone is saying 'SooRo, SooRo' and all of them are moving in groups to him and...
there isn't even an ant lingering in your surroundings, Grand Duke!
What did you just say? That not even an ant lingers around?
Truthful words are the right words...isn't that so?
Right now, who is there by your side - except me?
Right...
Are you saying you want me to prostrate myself before you and bow for sticking with me to the end, Chief Yeom?
Well, that isn't completely necessary but...
I am sticking around until the end and giving you my loyalty so for my sake...
shouldn't you...think in a different way [about me]...in a different way think [about me]...
is what I am trying to say.
What is it that you're expecting to receive?
Well, rather than expecting something...
In truth, those at SooRo's side keeps telling me to 'come!' 'come!' and waits for me! Despite this...
if you want to continuously keep me here with you then a reward befitting such loyalty... yes?!
Shouldn't there be a reward for that...
is what I am trying to say.
I understand, Chief Yeom.
I will think upon this deeply.
Then, *eh-hem*
Please think about this deeply for me.
What is the reason for this rare visit?
I came because I wanted to confirm the divine Heaven's will for the last time.
Are you positive that the prophecy was given to SooRo?
Yes, that is right. Please follow the sayings.
Okay, I understand.
I will do that.
Then...
I will have to sit SooRo as king on the throne of GooYa Nation.
HaeBanCheon Forge
Subtitles brought to you by the Kim SooRo Fan Subbing Team @www.Viki.
Everyone.
A new flame of hope has arisen and overflown in HaeBanCheon!
This flame will, cross over from HaeBanChun... to GooYa Nation...
and pass over GooYa Nation to all three areas around the world to be a light for their feet!
And the metal that is made here will...
go cross that sea and make the name of our iron from 'GooYa Nation' famous in all nations!
This metal that was made by everyone's blood and sweat will do it, I say!
Is this not something to be proud of, everyone?!
In any case! Our Young Master SooRo is different, no doubt!
Look at the way he finally made the Forge, just like that!
If Chief Swordsmith and his wife could have seen him like this...
they would have liked it a lot!
Then again, SooRo's heart is probably not its usual self right now!
To have a forge, of all things, in HaeBanCheon!
Well, we will probably live easily enough but when I think of what kinds of things Grand Duke Shin will do...
If that happens, do you think Lady CheonGoon will stand by and do nothing?!
What I mean is, do you think she'll stand by and do nothing when this has to do with the son that she finally found through many hardships?!
Why, look there! Who is that I see?
YeonGi, is that really mother who's coming from there?
Yes, that is Lady CheonGoon.
Just what mother will say - I am truly curious.
Would it be okay for me to say one thing as well?
To all of you who succeeded in a feat never done in the past,
I commend you.
More than anything, SooRo, who was able to shake off the sadness of losing a mother and stand back up...
he is truly the material for leading and raising this GooYa Nation - that is how I think!
Let's gather up around SooRo as the center
and better than the GooYa National Forge and the iron stronger
that does not rust - the best metal of all - is what I hope that you all will be able to make!
Thank you for coming all the way here.
I have something I must tell you.
Please, go ahead.
You are...this JeongByeonBi's son.
I am going to make you this GooYa Nation's king.
You are the one the prophecy speaks of. No one, whoever they may be, can stop you.
I have also asked JeonSu to gather the nine ministers' hearts as one.
Prepare your heart for it.
Though I am thankful for those words...
What are you getting at?
The people choose and make the kings...
I don't think it's something that you, Lady CheonGoon, can say she'll make or not make...
SooRo!
As for me, I have never once thought to myself 'I want to be king'.
If I, like the Grand Duke Shin, make efforts to become a king...
how many people will have to shed their blood?
How can a leader and a man be so weak?
I just simply want to live with the people I like, in harmony.
So please do not have expectations for me anymore.
The reason why I say I'm going to make you the king of GooYa Nation is...
not just for this mother's mere personal greed.
Don't you see the prophecy has already revealed it?
Just keep that in mind!
Grand Duke, Grand Duke, Grand Duke!
Something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!
What has happened that you're making such a fuss?
As expected, Lady CheonGoon, has made SooRo...SooRo!
Are you telling me that Lady CheonGoon and SooRo has reestablished their parent-son bond?
Yes - Yes! It is exactly that! Exactly that!
Why are you so surprised over such an expected thing?
Well, what I mean is!
If SooRo, who has newly built the forge, goes on the same side as his mother then - What about us?!
The next thing that's bound to happen is for us to become beggars, isn't it?!
Then why don't you, Chief Yeom, take this opportunity to go on over to that side as well?
Do you mean that?
Could I really do that?
Do as you please.
I am really going to go, okay?
Crazy fool.
Quickly, let's go!
What happened?
It's quite strange...That person...He just let me go!
Is that really what happened?
That's truly weird...
Don't say another word - let's go, quickly!
Wait.
Hey, hey! That - what is that?!
Beats me! From their clothing, it doesn' t seem like they belong to GooYa Nation.
Wait a second!
Th-That is Yeon BanSoo, isn't it?
Yeon BanSoo, right?
Y-You're right! It's Y-Y-Yeon BanSoo!
But how can the clothes that she's wearing be...it's not like before!
Welcome!
You have suffered much, coming from such a long way off!
I thank you for coming such a long way.
I have been counting the minutes.
Here, please have a seat.
What are you doing?
Please have a seat.
Grand Duke. I see that you're not too familiar with the proprieties of foreign matters.
What is that supposed to -
These princesses are your superiors, are they not?
They are the princesses of Saro Country, who came to give you help.
I seem to have made a mistake.
I am not used to these kinds of things so...
Please have a seat.
These Princesses came as representatives of SaRo Country's King NamHae, ChaChaWoong.
It wouldn't be proper for them to sit across from a mere Minister of a tribe, don't you think?
A mere minister of a tribe...?
I was not able to think of that!
Please have a seat.
I was quite surprised, thinking that you might have thought of me as the Yeon BanSoo from YeonHaJeong.
Surely not!
Since the nine ministers' opinions have been confirmed, please make preparations for the ceremony.
But...
What is the matter?
I wonder how Master CheonGoon will take this...
Why don't we take some time to settle down the opposition from Master CheonGoon? What do you think?
Elder JoSoo. How can you say that after seeing Grand Duke Shin bring Saro Country's princesses into this GooYa Nation?!
If we don't hurry and raise up a king, in advance, to resist Saro Country then...
no one can guarantee this GooYa Nation's fate.
What I'm saying is that there is no more time to lose!
Well, that is true...but...
Since we are doing Heaven's will, you don't have to worry too much about it.
Then, I will go and prepare the ceremony.
Mother, you just had to go and...
Come on in.
Listen carefully to what I have to tell you from here on out.
The rightful king of this GooYa Nation is SooRo.
Accept it.
In the end, it turns out like this, I see.
I'm sorry.
I...misunderstood Heaven's will.
I see.
If that is truly mother's will, then you must follow it.
YiJinAhShi!
You are my son.
I am going to believe that you will understand this mother's intention.

Today, you both cannot drink too much beer!
How can you tell us not to drink too much beer on such a joyous day as this?!
You call a person over and then tell them not to drink beer - isn't that being too harsh?!
Brother! Drink one up!
Yes, let's!
Then it will be disadvantageous to both of you...
Why are you acting like that, Young Master SooRo?
Everyone! Please give your attention here!
There will be a very important announcement!
Everyone here keeps calling this forge as ''SooRo's Forge, SooRo's Forge,''
so I'm thinking of making a new name.
From now on, please call this forge 'HaeBanCheon Forge'!
So in other words, this forge is not SooRo's Forge.
What is he saying?
Since the name is 'HaeBanCheon Forge'...
this forge belongs to all those who live in HaeBanCheon - everyone here.
And I will introduce to you the Supervisor and the Chief Swordsmith who will lead this HaeBanCheon to success...
Now! The Supervisor is...
a position whose duties will be carried out by Elder MoolSae
Wh-What did he just say? Hey you! What did I do for you to give me that position?!
Please hurry on over here.
Next, I will introduce the Chief Swordsmith!
Now! The Chief Swordsmith will be...
none other than Blacksmith SaBok!
Here, these two people over here will guide this HaeBanCheon Forge to success!
Then you...what are you going to do?
I will, under you both, work very hard as a blacksmith!
And now, one more thing that I prepared, in case everyone here would be disappointed...
Among those of you, young HaeBanCheon people, who are smart, do work very well, and...
No, this is not enough.
I will pick ten of you who know how to honor their parents and raise you as my successor!
The forgery skills that I have, I will pass on completely and freely to those young people.
I am not finished! There is one more thing!
Now! These words will be said by the one, who, in order to build HaeBanCheon's Forge,...
provided us with the financial means - Grand Chief SeonDo!
To tell you the truth, I was completely deceived by this rascal, SooRo.
Why, this rascal, SooRo, stubbornly insists on giving this forge to everyone here!
Everyone here is well aquainted with SooRo's stubborness, are you not?
I have lifted my two hands and two feet up in the air - in surrender!
That's why...all the profit that comes out from here will be given to everyone here.
Are you satisfied now, little rascal?
A king-like king has risen out of HaeBanCheon, I see!
Everyone. Do you believe all the words that that rascal is saying?!
That is all a scam!
It's been a while.
Shall we talk?
Pour me a cup as well.
Lady CheonGoon told me to prepare myself for kingship.
Is that why you are building up support from the people at the forge?
To be a king?
YiJinAhShi.
There is something that you must know.
I told Lady CheonGoon that I will not be king, loud and clear.
Show off.
Do you think I wouldn't know your underlying motive?
I understand how you feel and can sympathize.
You know how I feel?
How can you understand how I feel?
My confidence and heart that died, all in the matter of one day!
By what means can you understand?!
Tell me!
YiJinAhShi.
Lady CheonGoon's words as well as...
that prophecy - I don't believe in them.
So don't use the king issue as an excuse to hate me.
Do you think that makes any sense?!
Because of you - ONE person -
my entire life is being shaken!
Heaven's will.
If Heaven's will is something that can change all in the matter of one day...
I will be the one to reject you.
Master CheonGoon!
YiJinAhShi!
What were you just trying to do right now?!
I wanted to show you, mother...
exactly how horrendously foolish Heaven's will, in which you place so much of your trust in, is...
see it clearly with your own two eyes!
Me! Slay me first!
For twenty years this sacred artifact has mocked me and I can
no longer just stand by and watch.
Stand aside, please!
Withdraw that sword at once!
If you want to strike down the sacred artifact, you're going to have to strike me down first.
Master CheonGoon!
Please come to your senses!
The divine beings are watching from above!
The divine being have judged you correctly, I see.
How could they permit the kingship of GooYa Nation to be given to someone like you?!
Master CheonGoon.
Why in the world did you think of doing such a thing as this?
The will of Heaven that I trusted in for twenty years...
How can it all change in the matter of one day?
They stole my entire life - my reason for living.
How am I supposed to live from now on?
All of this!
happened because of that sacred artifact, didn't it?!
How could I...
not know how you feel, Master CheonGoon?!
But...
Heaven's will is not something that you can go against.
That you, Grand Duke Shin, is a fading sun [sunset] is something that all the people of GooYa Nation knows.
SooRo is now...the rising hope of GooYa Nation.
JeongGyeonBi will definitely put SooRo out as the king.
Now what are you going to do?
That's why I asked you for help Chief Seok, isn't it?
If we give you our support, what will you do for Saro Country?
Why don't you tell me what you were hoping to receive?
If you end up regaining the metals due to our help then...
do you have the desire to combine militia?
Combine militia?
Isn't that a little too much?
You should think of it this way: it is the payment for saving a life that, if left alone, will die.
If you truly don't want that, then we will just go back from whence we came.
Well no...
I will think about this for a bit.
How long has it been?
I have wanted to see you very much.
Stand aside.
Chief, Yeom, have you been well since the last time we met?
The way you took care of me, your gracious hospitality - I still remember.
To remember even that which is not necessary...
It is something that was proper for me to do!
Sometime in the future, I would like to hear your story, Chief Yeom, on my request...
You...will come, won't you?
Of course, Of course!
Coming from such an elevated person as yourself, a Princess of SaRo country, Your Highness,
How could I refuse?
If you would be willing to listen, I will run to you anytime!
Older brother...why did you call for me?
Sit over there for a little while.
Older brother...why are you acting like that?
You're scaring me.
By any chance, do you...
have any thoughts of marrying me?
Excuse me?
Didn't you say you liked me?
Me and you...together, let's form ties of husband-wife relation...
and live together is what I am trying to say.
I...well...
I...am not so sure...
All you have to do is follow my lead.
Just WHY are you acting like this?!
You're telling me you want to marry this child who has no basic skills and doesn't have any education?
Are you trying to rebel against me by doing such ridiculous things as this?!
In your eyes, there is no one except for the king, isn't there?
I'm obviously not going to be the king.
So I'm telling you I'm going to live my life but...
are you opposing even that now?
I'll pretend I never heard about this so leave my presence!
Such a hopelessly foolish boy, you are!
No doubt, in your eyes, BeoDeul is lacking but...
to a hopelessly foolish guy like me, she is more than enough.
You've gotten as crazy as crazy gets, I see!
Yes, you've seen correctly.
Now I will live as I please so don't butt in any longer.
I'm the child you threw away, after all.
BeoDeul, now that we've given mother our greetings, let's go now.
BeoDeul!
Lady CheonGoon!
Come here, close to me.
Why are you coming out of that room at this time of the night?
Is today the first?
This is too much. Won't you please stand up now?
No I won't. Sit down.
You devoted all your years of youth, awaitng solely for the day I would be king but...
Seeing how it ended without bearing fruit...
To you, I'm truly sorry!
No, Master CheonGoon.
No matter what becomes of you, I will guard you to the end.
Are you being sincere?
Yes.
Even if it's just words, I thank you. From now on, please take care of my mother.
Master CheonGoon...you sure do have a lot of worries.
Why...you are...
Since the forge is running so smoothly...
the day SooRo becomes king doesn't seem to be too far off...
What are you trying to get at?
I heard that you've had a lot of heartaches and have been struggling a lot lately.
Lady CheonGoon had relied on you solely and...
all in the matter of one day, you've become an abandoned child so...how tormented must you be.
What is the reason for acting this way towards me? Stop beating around the bush and get to the point!
Why don't you release me first?
Are you going to give up everything and do nothing?
What do you mean?
Last time, when you saved my life...didn't I tell you?
Can you, Master CheonGoon, accept SooRo into your heart as your older brother?
The moment you acknowledge SooRo as your older brother...
the kingship of GooYa Nation will be for SooRo to occupy.
In the future, there will definitely be something that I could help you with.
So then...
exactly what are you proposing you'll do?
I have accompanied and brought Saro Country's princesses, AhHyo and AhRo, to Grand Duke Shin's home.
Princesses AhHyo and AhRo wants to help you by giving you more power.
Won't you meet with them once?
Go quickly. Send Elder GeokJoo greetings for his health as well.
Older brother!
What's wrong?
Why are you like this?
Lady CheonGoon told BeoDeul to go back to JangSeo Village.
What?
Mother! Why in the world are you doing this?!
What do you mean 'why'? Staying in a stranger's home and then returning to her own home - what is wrong with that?
BeoDeul is no longer a guest!
She is my wife!
So don't treat her so carelessly!
I thought you were bluffing, but you must have been...?
Yes, I am being sincere.
What? Did you say 'sincere'?!
You are truly getting crazier by the day!
Yes. I am crazy!
Without going crazy, I cannot live!
You little runt!
Older brother, please don't be like this.
I'm scared, I tell you.
Leave my presence at once! I don't even want to see your silhouette!
Don't cry. Let's go.
Father, Mother. This is iron that I personally made, myself.
With the discipline that you have drilled into me, father, and...
with the strength of the love that you protected me with, mother.
I will open up a new world for those who are weak and without power.
Mother...Mother, are you there, watching?
I have succeeded by working hard.
I have worked hard and succeeded, mother!
If you look over there, you will see our forge's pride.
Master SooRo!
Yes?
This person is Master SooRo.
Welcome.
They are the merchants from Han Nation.
They said they came to find us because they heard the iron made from our blacksmith was superbly excellent.
We are truly amazed after going around and seeing each section of this place like this.
Thoughts of wanting to trade iron with this place instead of the forge we usually go to comes naturally.
Thank you.
This way, please.
This is HaBanCheon's precious commodity, so we shall guard it well,
Do you understand?
Yes, sir!
What are you so surprised about?
I am your son, Talhae!
I-I-I...Am I imagining things right now?
Are you really Talhae?
Oh! Oh, Talhae!
Oh, Talhae!
But...what kind of clothes are these?
Yes, I am doted on by King NamHae, ChaChaWoong of Saro Country.
What is this you're saying?
You're saying you...were at Saro Country?!
Yes, mother.
What kind of a person are you?!
Excuse me?
After being under ShinGuiGan, you went to Lady CheonGoon...
and now it's Saro Country?!
You're making your mother dizzy with all your constantly moving loyalties!
Will you really be okay doing this?
Don't worry too much.
I will soon accompany and bring you to Saro Country, so just wait a little longer.
Saro Country?
I am not going!
Mother!
Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to SooRo?
Grand Duke! Once again, I have committed a crime worthy of my death!
I am a person who never looks twice at the one who turns his back towards me.
Go your way.
Never again will I do such a foolish thing!
Just one more time - forgive me!
Will you understand after having a taste of this sword?
I'm telling you to get out of my sight immediately!
Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeon BanSoo! I mean, Princess! Please save me!
Grand Duke. What is the matter?
He is a person that can't even amount to an insect!
I didn't want the hassle of staining this sword with blood so I just told him to go, but he is being this annoying!
The Great SanYeon that I know is not that kind of a person, surely you must be mistaken.
If only for my sake, couldn't you graciously forgive this just this once?
P-Princess! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This grace, I will - 100 times repay you!
Just know that you were able to keep your life, thanks to the princess.
The sight of you disgusts me so leave!
Yes, I should go! I'm leaving - leaving!
Mother...I'm sorry for disappointing you.
I am a son who is very lacking...who couldn't help but to turn his back on you like this, mother...
so please throw me away.
It's good that you've come, Master CheonGoon.
Please give your greetings to these princesses here.
For supporting me like this...
Thank you.
Thank you very much for making such a hard decision.
Let's do our best together.
I have prepared a room for you to dwell in.
GiTae! Take him in.
Yes, sir.
This way, please.
What is this you are doing?!
Release me!
Though it may be a bit uncomfortable, please think of this as your room.
Chief Seok!
What is the meaning of this?!
This is different from what was promised!
