The Three Musketeers
I'm Park Dal Hyang from Goseong, Gangwon Province.
Who are the three of you?
The Three Musketeers.
I wonder if this is a type of treason.
Are you saying you didn't know that Minister Gang Seok Gi daughter, Yoon Seo was already married?
You know that I feel the same way you do, right?
I swear.
He's Park Dal Hyang, a man who lives in Goseong, Gangwon Province.
You must get first place in the examination for everyone's safety.
Keep this in mind.
First place.
I must get first place,
so Yoon Seo will be safe.
He's the Crown Prince.

Your Highness.
What happened?
The competition just ended.
- Then...- But I heard that Park Dal Hyang, the man you asked me to find out about has caused trouble.
What do you mean by trouble?
There was a big commotion because he mistakenly shot a horse.
- Protect me.- Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Oh my.
Aigoo... uh...
Your Majesty. On your royal body...
His Majesty has received a scratch on his royal body.
And, Minister Sim Gi Won, along with many other cabinet members, were injured trying to avoid the horse.
It is said that all the instruments were broken.
Since they had to settle all that before proceeding, the examination only ended now.
W-what about The Crown Prince?
Fortunately the Crown Prince was not in the direction the horse ran, so he is safe.
But His Highness was...
How can you laugh in this situation?
Are you okay, Father?
He was laughing during that time, so he was scolded by His Majesty.
He laughed?
Yes.
T- then, what happened to that person, Park Dal Hyang?
His mistake was so great that I heard that it is being discussed in the Royal Council Hall,
whether they should cancel his passing of the exam.
The Three MusketeersEpisode 2
No matter how nervous he was,
the mistake is too egregious.
Never before has something like this happened, Your Majesty.
For a warrior, who will be going out to a battlefield, being timid is the worst shortcoming.
So I think his passing of the examination should be reconsidered again.
That is correct!
Although it wasn't intentional, what happened shouldn't be just overlooked.
If what happened is just overlooked,
I am very worried that the ones following afterwards might lose their sense of seriousness.
It would be appropriate to punish him as an example.
My thoughts are the same!
How could I trust a man who shows such rash behavior and entrust him with soldiers?
But Father,
Park Dal Hyang has already gotten first place in the previous round and especially has gotten a high rank on every test.
He has already shown sufficient skills.
To cancel his passing of the examination because of one mistake doesn't seem to set the right precedent.
Then, you...
want to just let him go after he ruined the event like that?
If a mistake is made, then a fitting rank should be given.
Also, Park Dal Hyang is a high rank finalist, which Gwangwon Province has produced for the first time; in a really long time.
If you fail a person like him, I'm worried that it will kill the spirit of students in the provinces.
As a matter of fact, aren't there a lot of talk during each state examination about equality of the regions?
I believe what happened is an issue that should also consider the sentiments of the provincial people.
Since this letter is an important piece of evidence,
we will keep it until you prove your innocence.
Park Dal Hyang!
Did you wait long?
No, I didn't.
Just now a royal command was sent.
To Park Dal Hyang, who caused a disturbance during the examination,
I will specially forgive him and pass him to the lowest rank in the military service.
For the time being, do not give him a position in the court or stipend,
but have him on stand by.
It is the lowest rank of the twenty eight. But, in any case, you have definitely passed the examination.
You will start at the lowest deputy 9th rank. Even so,
you should feel fortunate that things ended this way.
Yes, thank you.
Not to me, but you should be grateful to His Highness, the Crown Prince.
Excuse me?
He was the only one who took your side in the Royal Council hall.
Now, you need to register, so follow me.
Why?
What do you mean, why?
Why did His Highness the Crown Prince take my side?
How would I know? He must have felt it would be a waste to fail you.
Aigoo, rain!
Here.
Who gave this to you?
I don't know, sir. Two men on horseback came to deliver it.
In any case, I wonder if this room is warm enough.
It seemed chilly because of the rain, so I heated up the room.
Was your speech like that before? I don't think it was.
I should change it, right? I should change it.
You have passed the examination. How could I...
Please just look kindly upon me.
If you need anything, just say the word.
To Officer Park, from the Three Musketeers.
We congratulate you on passing the exam. Although we feel sorry because it seems we caused you to miss first place.
We want to buy you a congratulatory and apologetic drink.
Will you come to the Saeryung Inn tomorrow around 6 o'clock?
Right side bodyguard, Heo Seung Po.
Left side bodyguard, Ahn Min Seo.
These are our real names. See you tomorrow.
Dear Father and Mother,
How is your health? I hope everything is well there.
It has already been over two months since I left the hometown.
I am finally sending good news.
I am announcing that I, Dal Hyang, have passed the military service examination.
Are you perhaps Park Dal Hyang from Goseong?
Yes, I am.
Take the lamp away for a moment.
How did you come here...?
First, come in.
Sit. (Using speech form for addressing someone of lower rank than her)
I will talk from here. I'm going to leave right away.
Why did you come here?(Using respectful speech form)
What if someone sees you?
I stopped by on my way to my parent's house using my mother's illness as an excuse.
The Crown Prince let me know about you by giving me the letter.
After hearing that you are still waiting for me,
I couldn't let it just go by.
How can you be so unaware about reality?
You already know
that I am that way to begin with.
I am sorry for not keeping my promise, but
marriage selection wasn't done by my will.
Since I couldn't do anything about it,
don't think I was too heartless.
I know.
That letter
was
burnt by me.
You did well.
It was weighing on my mind.
You have to go.
This is the last time.
The Crown Prince will not tolerate this again.
Don't ever think of me again.
Of course.
Since you passed the examination, that's such great news.
Your parents must be happy.
I am sure they will be.
Don't come out. I'm afraid someone may see you.
Let's go.
Father, Mother, soon I will receive the certificate from His Majesty himself.
The fact that I won't be able to escort you both at the place of honor
is unfortunate.
Also do not consider Yoon Seo as a possible daughter-in-law anymore.
I've actually changed my mind, after seeing all the beautiful girls, since I came to Hanyang.
I must be male after all.
It's unfortunate for Yoon Seo, but what can be done?
Father, Mother, Dal Hyang's era will begin soon.
Prepare yourselves. I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep tonight due to my happiness.
Really
it's the best day ever.
1636, the 14th year of King In Jo's reign Eui Joo, Pyeongan Province
Yong Gol Dae - Qing's General
Who sent the messenger? (in Manchu)
They say it's General Kim Ja Jeom, who is in charge of the northwest frontier.
General Kim Ja Jeom?
Before our envoys arrives at Hanyang,
he asks to meet you.
Does it mean that he wants to meet me unofficially?
For what?
Subtitles brought to you by The Musketeers Team @ Viki
Are you Kim Ja Jeom's men?
This guy can't understand Manchu as he's a Joseon person.
You should talk with me, General Yong Gol Dae.
And we belong to no one.
We are just messengers.
Make a bet, make a bet!
It's coming. I'm doing it.
Here we go!
I will spin it now. Spin it, spin it.
It's spinning now.
Aigoo, my luck.
Good for you, good for you!
Please do it better, my lord.
Today, it isn't working out for me.
My lord, are you going to keep playing?
What are you talking about? I'm just starting.
Spin it.
This won't do. Let me get your energy!
It's going. I'm going to spin it.
Did you wait long?
I came before you so I had a drink.
Sit.
- What about the other person? - You mean, Seung Po?
Here, let's drink first.
Since he went to the gambling table, it will take quite a while until he comes to us.
Congratulations on passing the examination.
Wait.
I didn't come here to be congratulated.
I came to hear the whole story.
Please tell me why you deceived me from the start?
This may sound like an excuse, but I didn't have any intention to get involved.
It was all plotted by that man and Crown Prince.
Nothing good will come from rumors of the Crown Prince wandering outside the palace.
On that day, we had slipped out secretly, but you suddenly involved us.
You asked for help, so we couldn't refuse and helped you.
But we could not reveal ourselves to the public.
I thought that was the end of it.
But it was more complicated by the discovery of the letter.
Why was I brought here that night?
I can't tell you.
We are the bodyguards for the Crown Prince.
We must follow orders while following the Crown Prince.
We cannot tell you anything regarding our assignment.
You didn't look like an ordinary bodyguard.
You were all speaking so informally to him...
That's because that guy is a rude man by nature.
I never do it ( speak informally to the Crown Prince ).
Do you know General Heo Seok?
You mean, Army General Heo Seok?
Is there any military officer who doesn't know him? I respect him.
See that guy, who is gambling and with a gisaeng girl?
He is the eldest son of General Heo.
Ae-Chin-Ja-Bool-Ga-Mak-Eo-In.
A person who loves his father cannot act improperly to others.
Byeong-Chin-Ja-Bool-Ga-Mak-Eo-In.
Seung Po you rascal!
Thanks to his family, ever since childhood,
he has studied and practiced martial arts with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Move away!
Because they are childhood friends, there are times when he acts rudely towards the Crown Prince.
To sum it up, he's got guts.
There will be a time when he'll get in trouble.
I heard the bodyguards are all children of high nobles.
Then, are you also...
I am not of noble birth.
Then...
Where do you think I came from?
I was a young monk at Seojin Temple in Jeonju.
What did you say?
The chief monk was excellent in martial arts,
so we received training everyday.
When the Jeongmyo War broke out,(Jeongmyo Horan - the war with Jin (Early Qing) in 1627)
I followed the chief monk and went to a battle as a civilian soldier.
Our duty was to protect the Crown Prince, who had come down during that time.
After the war ended,
His Highness came looking for me.
As of that day, I came to hold a sword instead of Buddhist beads.
So now...
You are saying a monk became the Crown Prince's bodyguard?
Believe it or not.
Oh, did the man who passed the examination come?
Look at this! I earned this in just three rounds!
Officer Park, order everything you want to order since I'll pay for all the drinks here.
- Bring us more alcohol!- Oh, yes!
Do you like gambling?
I've never tried it.
There is no better time than the present. I'll teach it to you. So why don't you learn it today.
Do you know how much fun it is?
This guy acts refined, so he's no fun to hang out with.
- No, I also don't really want to...- First, congratulations on passing the examination!
For some strange reason, I've liked you from the first moment.
I told you that we would become friends.
Now that we're friends, I'm going to speak comfortably (speak informally)
- But who said we're friends?- Hey!
By chance, are you still mad at us?
I'm not mad. It's just that...
Truthfully, I planned the prank, and the Crown Prince got drawn in by me also.
I was going to take this chance to bring the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess closer.
You could call it provoking jealousy.
But somehow the Crown Prince took more interest in this guy than in the Crown Princess.
That's not why I did it.
Is the relationship between the two of them...
distant?
- Why?- Huh?
This isn't time for me to be worrying about others. Have you heard my story, perhaps?
A story of a poor man, who got the ugliest wife in the world.
Can I not get married?
Do you know what's more depressing?
I have now been married for twelve years,
but my wife keeps getting more and more ugly.
Even though she has a face that can't get any uglier.
Surprisingly, she keeps getting uglier and her temper keeps getting worse and worse.
The heavens are so heartless!
That's why he doesn't like to go home.
So that's why this guy is always trapped by me,
- and is here like this!- Let go of me.
- I don't want to!- Aigoo!
What are you going to do? What are you going to do?
Subtitles brought to you by The Musketeers Team @ Viki
Your Highness.
The Crown Princess has returned from her home.
I understand.
She is here.
I went to visit my mother.
I heard she was unwell. How is she doing?
She is much better.
That's good. Get some rest, you must be tired.
Do you have something to say?
That day...
It was so sudden...
I couldn't say anything because I was flustered.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about Park Dal Hyang's letter.
Why did you give it to me?
Why haven't you asked me anything further,
and even helped him?
You took the side of that person, who made a mistake at the examination.
I heard you put in the effort so he can pass the examination.
I told you. It's because I don't suspect you and I value Park Dal Hyang's skill in martial arts.
I... I...
don't find that the least bit natural.
What do you mean by saying it's not natural?
As a husband, when you find out something like that,
wouldn't it be natural to suspect your wife,
hate that person, get rid of such a letter from the past,
and continually question the matter?
I'm not a person with a vessel that small. (He's not petty)
It's not a matter of a vessel. That is... that is...
It feels like you have not even the slightest interest in me!
You have to have feelings in order to be angry, isn't it?
Isn't that...
the truth?
That you don't have any feelings for me.
It's not just a recent matter,
but all the time in the past 5 years.
I thought you were scared of me.
But now I see that isn't the case at all. You're saying everything you wish to say.
I'm not scared of you.
However...
I feel that you are cold.
Is that so? Then how about if I do this?
I'll arrest Park Dal Hyang immediately and send him to the Royal prison.
Also I'll discuss your deposition in the Royal Council. Will that be okay?
Then will that be being natural as a husband?
Would that mean I have enough interest in you?
Then I'll have to give an order to arrest Park Dal Hyang tomorrow.
Ah, that's right!
Did you say I have to take away that letter to be like a husband?
Then can you give that letter back to me?
With that kind of joke,
I'm now tired of you avoiding sincerity all the time!
I heard it, so I know it as well.
Instead of me, you wanted the woman who was selected before me.
But, is that my wrongdoing?
When I wasn't selected because I wanted to be?! ( The decision is often made politically. )
What?
What are you saying?
What do you mean I'll be selected as the Crown Princess?
I'm not sure what's happening either. As soon as we returned to Hanyang.
In any case, that's how it'll be decided, so prepare your heart.
But that...
Mother,
didn't you say the selection of the Crown Princess had been decided?
I heard it was the daughter of Minister Yoon Eui Rip.
You told me that it had been decided before we went to Gangreung.
You're right.
However, that daughter has died.
Why?
She hung herself some time ago.
I'm not sure what happened.
Anyway, to do the selection again, there weren't suitable candidates.
Let's prepare our hearts firmly.
That can't be, Mother.
How can this happen?
Mother.
I have promised myself to someone.
This can't be.
It's not my fault that woman died, is it?
That the two of us were brought together is fate. It is not anyone's fault!
I, too... Yes, you might know now, but...
This is also not a position I wanted!
But still, I accepted and tried to do my best; to do my duty.
But you, Your Highness...
It seems you have greatly misunderstood me right now.
The things you have said now are not at all the truth.
It's not the truth, you say?
Even though everyone talks in whispers about it?
They are misinformed.
Then... what is the truth?
If not, then, why have you been so cold to me from the beginning to now?
I've never done that.
If it felt that way, it's unfortunate. But I've never done that.
I think you are being a bit overly sensitive.
Yes, I understand.
I didn't know to be grateful that
Your Highness forgave me with leniency, and
I acted immaturely.
That's the correct answer!
Please rest.
Sleep well.
Go outside.
I will call for you in a bit.
Yes, Your Highness.
She committed suicide, you say?
She did, right before the royal nuptials.
Why?
How can I know the mind of a dead woman?
Maybe she didn't want to be the Crown Princess.
But that doesn't make sense since the two of them liked each other very much!
He even bragged about it to me.
What? I didn't say anything.
Look over there a bit.
See?
Isn't that Lord Kim Ja Jeom?
Why is he in Hanyang when he is supposed to be in Anju?
Ah... that's right. Didn't he leave for Pyeongan Province a month ago?
So, why has the General come here?
What is it?
It's been a long time.
Is everything good at the royal court?
Yes, not much has happened.
Soon, the envoys from Jin (later Qing) are due to arrive.
So other than the fact that the King is rather sensitive lately...
That's precisely the reason I have asked you all to meet.
Kim Ja JeomMid-Joseon period Minister
Speaking of the Jin's (later Qing) envoys . . .
While I was staying at Uiju, I contacted them and
found out ahead of time
their purpose for coming this time.
What is their purpose in coming?
The Jin's King
is calling himself an emperor, and
demanding to change the brotherhood we entered into, after the Jeongmyo War,
into a relationship between sovereign and subject.
They have brought the emperor's letter.
Subtitles brought to you by The Musketeers Team @ Viki
You'll have to help us a bit.
Now that you have passed the examinations, isn't it fitting to do work for the royal court as well?
Just what is the matter?
Something serious is going on, so I'm going to inform the Crown Prince.
Seung Po is in the room by himself, so I would like it if you could keep watch outside.
Can I trust you and go?
Does that make sense?
Ultimately, that is a demand we can't meet.
There's no way the King will approve of that!
Do we not know much better about the anger the King has towards the Jin?
That is why I asked to meet with you all beforehand.
Before we inform the royal court of this,
we should organize our stance first.
Before the King calls for a hopeless war once again.
Kim Ja Jeom is in Hanyang?
Even after obtaining the King's letter from the Jin envoys at the border, he didn't inform the royal court.
Rather, he seems to be gathering his forces and setting up some different plan.
Who was at the gathering?
We haven't yet been able to confirm who is in the room other than Kim Ja Jeom.
Seung Po is watching them right now.
What about the content of the King's letter?
That is...
Changing the Jin King's title to that of an emperor and
demanding to change the relationship with Joseon to that of a sovereign and subject.
- We must inform His Majesty also about this.- He is someone who's hypersensitive.
If we inform him without corroborating evidence, the matter could blow up out of our control.
The King's letter is one thing,
but finding out what's on Kim Ja Jeom's mind is foremost.
The internal divisiveness is a bigger problem than the enemy.
Let's go.
Where have you gone, all of you?
Where have you gone?
Leaving only me behind.
Who are you?
Help me. Help me!
Help me!
Your Majesty!
Did you have a dream?
A dream?
That's right.
That was a dream.
What kind of dream did you have that you are...?
Should I call the palace doctor?
For what reason are the envoys coming here again this time?
Excuse me?
To insult me again with what this time?
Those barbarians are again!
It's ominous and I feel uneasy. No matter what, it's ominous.
Choi Myeong Gil.
Call for Choi Myeong Gil.
Minister Choi Myeong Gil has gone to inspect Chungcheong Province,
so he will return to court tomorrow.
The Crown Prince.
Where is the Crown Prince?
Your Majesty,
it is late at night.
- His Highness is probably in bed already... - So what?!
Since I won't be able to go back to sleep,
how am I to pass this night?!
Do you mean there is not one person that I can lean on in this palace?
No one...
No one protected me, even though I was dying.
Even when I was hit with a barbarian's arrow!
Your Highness!
Your Highness, please wait a moment!
Please stop.
What is it?
His Majesty had a nightmare and is looking for Your Highness because he is feeling anxious.
What is his condition?
I'm told he is very anxious.
I have urgent business. Tell them to restore his calm.
Your Highness, what if he keeps looking for you?
If he finds out that you've gone out incognito, he'll be enraged!
Take care of it. I'll be back as quickly as I can.
This is a report that I've acquired on the situation at the frontier.
The situation is a little different from ( what is ) officially reported.
Ming is losing in every battle they fight with Jin (Qing) and the tide of war has turned against them.
The Ming that we have respected so much won't last long.
So then, I...
would like to make a suggestion like this.
Even though he is the king we have crowned,
we've confirmed ourselves that he's not king material either.
The King would probably be willing to seek a hopeless war again.
However, since we also don't have the justification to oppose him,
I intend to
deliver this position to Yong Gol Dae.
That a part of our royal court
is already on their side.
These traitors...
Right now, Yong Gol Dae is outside the city,
waiting for word from us.
Those people there will deliver our position to Yong Gol Dae.
They'll secretly rendezvoused with Yong Gol Dae on the border
and delivered my intentions.
Did you hire other spies without telling us!?
What is that you are saying?
Are you pretending not to know, or are you being unknowingly deceived?
There is a mouse here, isn't there?
What?
Who are you?
Their party is many. Scatter now!
Let's discuss again later on. Let us each make our escape.
I need to identify those people. Take care of this guy.
Go.

- Which way?- It's this way.
I saw the person who was in the room. It was Heo Seung Po!
General Heo Seok's eldest son!
You mean, the Crown Prince's bodyguard?
Why was his bodyguard there?
Even before the day breaks, will we all lose our necks?
You should be careful.
Wouldn't it be unfair if you died as soon as you passed the exam? Without even being promoted.
- Even if you don't help me, I won't die.- Ah...
So did I interfere uselessly?
In fact, you would have passed the exam yourself, but I keep stepping in unnecessarily.
- Where did they all go?- The back door. There's also a woman.
Do well.
General Kim Ja Jeom.
Vice-Minister of Military, Choi Gyeong Chul.
Chief of Royal Secretary's Office, Park Seong.
Minister of Interior, Yoon Jeong Guk.
General Kim Sang Cheon.
There's also a woman.
Please get out of the way! Behind you!
Are you alright?
Your Highness!
We need to find a doctor. We can't call a royal doctor, so where should we go?
No.
Let's go back to the palace. My father, the King, will be looking for me.
Who the hell are they, anyway?
Are you crazy?
What?
Do you know who you just stabbed?
Who is it that I stabbed?
The Crown Prince.
What?
You messed with the wrong person today.
What has happened? Even just a moment ago, he was here. But when?
There was an urgent matter, so he went outside the palace with Ahn Min Seo.
I've told His Majesty that the Crown Prince is in deep sleep, but His Majesty keeps on asking for him.
He has not come back yet, and I don't know where he is.
Since I do not know what to do, I am informing you, Your Highness.
Since you have already lied, it's a problem.
What shall we do now?
Your Highness.
His Majesty The King is on his way to Donggungjeon. (The Crown Prince's residence)
Your Majesty, it is a cold night.
I fear Your Majesty's body will be marred.
It's not like he is so far away, but is so close by.
Yet he still doesn't come when his father calls for him.
If this isn't disrespecting me, what is?
If not, is this your conspiracy?
Is it correct that you are really relaying the truth?
Yes?
Your Majesty.
What is the Crown Prince doing?
That is... He has just woken up and... yes, yes!
He had a glass of a strong liquor and fell into such a deep sleep
that he had a hard time waking up.
Since he is changing into his clothes now...
Is it correct that the Crown Prince is in the room?
Isn't it that all of you are conspiring and telling me lies?!
Your Majesty.
What in the world have you been doing up to now when you've been here all the time?
I apologize.
I fell deeply asleep that I only just changed into my clothing and was about to run to you.
Without even knowing it was an urgent matter, I've tarried.
Wherefore were you looking for me?
Because my heart was anxious,
I couldn't fall asleep.
What are you so anxious about?
Who do you think I trust?
There is no one, but you.
Don't you make me uneasy as well.
I'm someone whose life is wearisome.
I beg your pardon.
I will go over right away.
No.
That'll do. Let's talk tomorrow.
I'm tired.
What in the world has happened?
Isn't that blood?
Are you hurt? Where?
Is Eunuch Gu outside?
Yes, Crown Prince.
Enter. Crown Princess, please leave and don't be concerned.
- But how can I?- I told you to leave.
Crown Prince!
What is this matter?
This blood is...
Mi Ryeong.
Pardon?
A short while ago, I saw Mi Ryeong.
What in the world has happened?
That's right. You thought well.
Let's finish it here.
What the heck is this now?
Who are you?
Who are you that you dare harm a member of our envoy? Name yourself.
This day was the fourth night that Dal Hyang and the Three Musketeers met.
From that moment, he thought that this ordeal
would be his ordinary fate.
He is probably an underling of the Joseon's Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince has caught onto the conspiracy.
This man stabbed the Crown Prince with a sword.
Fire!
On this night, as the people who controlled Joseon during that time,
all of our protagonists met each other finally.
A full fledged real story begins now.

How was the Crown Prince there?
More than that, the problem is Yong Gol Dae.
I'm!!!
I'm telling you that Mi Ryeong is alive.
What do you mean she's alive?
Didn't that girl hang herself of her own accord?
Are you Your Highness, the Crown Princess?
Seeing Your Majesty before my own eyes, I cannot believe it.
Crown Princess, are you crying?
Bear in mind. This is a secret belonging to only you and me, just the two of us.
Now, carry out your order.
