[This is a fictional drama based on historical facts.]
[There are differences from the actual history.]
Wow!
What should I do?
This is the King's resting area.
You can't come in here.
This broke in half.
What should I do?
This jade necklace was originally designed by half.
Is that so?
Why is it separated in half?
It's a very long story.
I want to hear it.
I want to hear it too.
Over there.
That star is the star of war
called Alkaid.
On the day the Alkaid shone the brightest,
a cursed Prince of Goryeo was born
with a very scary prophecy.
What did you just say?
I've never seen Alkaid shine so bright.
If a Prince is to be born soon,
he will shed blood on the Imperial family.
A lot of people will be killed.
Although that bloodshed is a curse,
it can be broken by light.
Like the prophecy, many people died indeed.
So the Prince was sent to exile in Geumgang Mountain.
But there were two princesses
who were born from the energy of the North Star
who could lead the Prince into the light.
The Princess of Goryeo
and the last Princess of Balhae.
Did the cursed Prince meet a princess?
Which one does he meet?
You're destined to meet
the person you're meant to be with
even if you try not to be with them.
That is how destiny works,
so say the heavens.

[Episode 1]
Gil Bok!
Tonight's dinner is your favorite, wild pig!
Prince! Prince!
They're finally here!
The palace sent a person finally!
Have you been well, dear Prince?
I'm sorry!
Please don't abandon me!
Please let me stay in the palace!
Didn't you say it wasn't my fault?
Didn't you say it was okay?
Father!
You didn't waste your life over the years.
Is this why you called for me after all these years?
You're going to kill me?
Why didn't you kill me back then?
You've gotten a foul temper after living at Geumgang Mountain.
You'll begin learning your discipline tomorrow,
I should include taming your temper.
I have no intentions of living in the palace.
I came here to tell you that, Your Majesty.
I've prepared your old room.
My room is in Geumgang Mountain.
Listen to your father!
Why won't you even try listening?
Because I'm a sinner.
It's not your fault.
I told you it was someone's scheme.
Really?
Is that so, Your Majesty?
Then why couldn't you protect me back then?
You, the leader of Goryeo!
After you abandoned me,
I was labeled as a traitor by everyone.
“You damn cursed Prince!”
That's what they said.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
You got everyone in the world to recognize me.
In my absence,
the palace has been peaceful.
So why did you call for me now, Your Majesty?
I have something to show you.
When you're building a nation,
you need the help of a founding contributor.
But after you've built a nation, you'd need to eliminate them.
If you don't, then the nation will crumble like sand.
That's why the nation's history needs a Bloody King.
Thus,
I'm always at war.
I wielded this sword
during the Unification of the Three Han States.
There are warriors who fight
at the front of the battle.
Eun Chun!
You will be teaching and training the Prince.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Come with me to this battle.
That is why I called you here today.
My head must've been cursed too, Your Majesty.
I can't understand what you're saying.
Just explain it in easy terms.
Why did you call me here?
Don't you want to change your fate?
In order to change your fate,
you need to accept someone's hand.
That is the start.
Your Majesty.
That hand.
Isn't that the hand that abandoned me?
Assassins!
I'm safe.
It missed.
Your Majesty!
- Did the assassins come? - It's nothing.
You killed your older brother,
and now you want to kill your father?
This is how you treat a son that you haven't seen in many years?
Get him out of here.
Get this cursed boy out of here!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Take the Queen to her place.
If he is in the palace,
I'll kill myself first, just you see.
Are...
Are you still going to tell me to stay in the palace?
There were a total of 7 assassins.
We slew 5, but 2 ran away.
They're not from Goryeo.
I believe they're from China.
Eun Chan.
Go after them immediately.
And nothing happened tonight.
I'll bury everything.
What did you just say?
What do you mean bury?
They tried to murder the King of this nation!
I'll go catch those men.
I'll get them to kneel before you.
So please
don't ask me to stay again.
He will be your leader.
- Assist him. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Unless you want to go to your grave, then move aside.
If you want to catch those men,
follow me, Your Highness.
Are you okay, Your Majesty?
Clean up this place immediately.
I don't want to leave trace of anything.
And keep the Queen quiet.
No one can know that the palace was attacked.
How did it go?
There were other guards of the King,
and they stopped us.
Are you saying you failed?
I threw two daggers at the King
before we withdrew.
Seeing that the palace is still quiet,
the King must be planning to hide this incident.
I'll find out where the daggers went.
You should leave the capital for now.
Yes, sir.
What are we doing right now?
These silkworm moths will find the men for you.
The men were covered in a powder
made of the female's reproductive organs.
Even if they're far away,
the male moths follow the scent of the female moths
without eating or sleeping,
and they'll find the men for us.
That boat is going to Gaebong in China.
[Gaebong: A city at the southern the Yellow River located in Henan Province in China.]
I think they're on that boat.
Those cowards!
Gaebong, you say?
We're leaving to Gaebong.
What should I do?
He doesn't listen to his own father.
He needs to finish his training,
so we will push for his marriage with Yeo Won,
the girl we just found who carries the energy of the North Star.
A royal marriage?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Princess Yeo Won has been working too hard
and now she's past the age to marry.
I believe it's the right time for the marriage.
If you mean Princess Yeo Won,
the most beautiful woman in Goryeo,
and a child prodigy, that every man
wanted her as their daughter-in-law?
Princess Yeon Won is also the only granddaughter
of me, Hwang Bo Jae Gong.
Thus I wanted her to be wed with Wang Pung,
son of Wang Sik Ryeom.
I already have someone in my mind for Princess Yeo Won.
Here, today, I declare the royal marriage
of Prince Wang So and Princess Yeo Won.
Did you call for me, Your Majesty?
I have something to tell you.
Please sit down.
What is it you have to tell me?
What am I to you?
You are my King, and fellow warrior
who fought for the Unification of the Three Han States,
and you are my blood related older brother.
With that in mind,
please protect your nephews, who will become the King.
Be a shadow to them
and share your experience with your nephews.
I'll cross my heart, Your Majesty.
Regard this sword as myself,
with whom you unified the Three Han States,
and don't forget that promise.
You're the only one I can rely on.
I swear on this sword that I'll follow your orders!
And I'm sorry about the marriage with Yeo Won.
The heavens destined for her to wed Wang So,
so what can I do?
Gaebong.
Are we there yet?
[Gaebong, China]
How is General Matraka?
Well. He gives his regards.
There must've been a storm.
There's mold on the black peppercorns.
How is one pot for two bags of peppercorns?
Yes, sure.
The Roman wine is a popular gift among the nobles.
Next time I will pay more, so for 10 bottles…
What are you doing at Chunghae Trading Company, General Kwak?
Brother!
Yool!
Please save me! I'll die!
No! I'm not going!
He must've gotten in trouble again.
That fool.
We'll have to pay a fortune for him again.
What did my older brother do?
He provoked my younger sister.
Do you think this is a small or big crime?
Let's talk after the trade is done.
Please wait in the other room.
I will wait here.
Do as you please.
I should do what with whom?
Marriage.
I'm talking about marriage.
I already promised General Kwak you'd wed him.
Yang Gyu Dal!
When I asked him how he will pay for his crime,
he said he'd give you to me.
Thus, I agreed.
No, he said he liked you so much…
Our trading company will take care of
the tribute to the Court.
Won't that be enough?
No, it won't.
No bargain will call off this marriage.
So it won't work…
Yeah. Just get married with him.
If you committed a crime, you should be punished.
- Yool. - If something goes wrong,
I promise to hold a memorial service for you every year.
If it was something else,
I would give it my all, but
I'm already engaged to someone else.
My parents are from Goryeo.
They've already chosen someone for me.
My fiancé is on his way here now.
You're arranged to be wed to a Goryeo man?
Do you expect me to believe that?
The wedding is in the evening in 15 days.
As if he hasn't done enough already,
now he tries to sell you out?
Would you have done the same to your own sister?
I know!
That's no way to behave even for a step brother!
Miss.
But what did you mean about the marriage?
What do you mean fiancé?
If that marriage was a lie,
he said he'd arrest everyone.
What are you going to do?
General Kwak says he's coming to congratulate you!
How will you trick him?
I know!
How can we find a Goryeo man right now?
What do you mean?
I'll have to win him over with my looks.
What?
Listen carefully everyone.
No matter what happens,
I have to find a Goryeo man who will pretend marry me.
Whether you kidnap him, or buy him with money,
we need to catch a Goryeo man.
Goryeo.
Hey.
- How many days has it been? - It's been 15 days.
These sneaky jerks.
Where are they hiding?
And
can't those moths cross the sea?
You're not helping at all.
That's…
Dumplings!
It hasn't even been over an hour since your last meal.
This isn't a meal.
This is a snack, you jerk.
Aren't you eating?
Your insides should be empty while on a chase.
Then go empty them.
You shouldn't eat any more.
Look back there.
This was made here.
But we make many daggers like this every day
so we can't know who purchased them.
What is the problem?
What did he say?
He said he made it,
but he's sold the same kind to many people.
The men certainly bought it from here.
- Someone is following us. - Where?
- Don't turn around. - Oh, that's right.
He's probably connected to the assassins.
Let's go over there.
We lost him.
We didn't lose him.
I remember which building he came from.
What about that man?
His eyes are hazy.
He must be a drinker.
Then what about that man over there?
The distance of his eyebrows are narrow, and he doesn't have good posture.
He's probably a gambler.
They say even a dog's feces can't be used for medicine.
There are no good Goryeo man.
How could we not find a man in 15 days?
Today is the wedding day.
It's not long until evening.
You need to compromise, Miss!
I'm the best trader in China.
I can negotiate, but I won't compromise.
I'll find a husband that I want.
No matter what.
This is it.
I'm going to catch this man.
Find boat tickets for the trip back.
Jackpot.
What are you doing?
Get out!
I can't believe I'm getting lucky at this moment.
Eun Chan.
Please move aside.
You're crazy!
Your Highness!
We're just going in circles.
There are only two hours left!
I can't give up now.
Those idiots.
They probably got drunk and ran off without paying.
It's like someone I know.
A man can make mistakes.
Out of the way!
Are you okay?
Miss Shin Yool.
Are you okay?
He'll do just fine.
He's a Goryeo man.
I can't go on any more.
Just tell them to kill us.
- You said that was the place. - I don't know.
I'm sure he came out of there.
Anyway, I'm so thirsty from all the running.
If we go a bit further, there's a well.
Who said I'm thirsty for that?
I'm thirsty for a real drink.
It's the best after you break a sweat.
I'm in a good mood. Have a drink, here!
I don't drink during a hunt.
You're crazy.
Do you even poop during a chase?
Come on!
Eun Chan.
I encountered a tiger at Geumgang Mountain.
It was my first time at Geumgang Mountain,
and there was nothing to eat but grass.
There was grass everywhere.
So I ran away to go back to the palace.
But right in the middle of the mountain,
I saw a tiger! It was a huge tiger!
I'm sure they're from Goryeo, Miss.
His outward appearance is fine.
And he's not bad looking either.
But it looks like they're assassins who get paid to kill.
Even if it's a fake marriage,
you can't marry a murderer.
Moreover, you can't marry men like him
with no morals, who run away without paying.
I like him.
Miss.
Then take the man sitting next to the obnoxious man.
A man with a temper might be more genuine!
Yeah, right.
One is standing up. Which one is it, Miss?
My husband is
that man.
I'll search around the smithy a little more.
Then what do I do?
You should stay here.
Don't move or go anywhere.
Eun Chan.
Eun Chan!
He really left.
He should've ordered more booze.
There's no booze.
Oh, she's giving me booze.
Does he work for the man who followed us?
Look at that.
So he poisoned the drink?
This is a good chance to show Eun Chan what I'm made of.
Should I dance to their tune?
Oh, booze!
It's booze.
There we go.
Your Highness, you must return to the palace now.
There is a carriage for you from the royal family.
A royal marriage with Wang So?
He was the Prince who was exiled!
He was raised by wolves in Geumgang Mountain!
It's outrageous to give you to him!
How could His Majesty do this to our family?
I'll marry him.
I'll make him my brother King.
But you never know the future.
If the plan goes astray,
I'll turn my husband into a King for the family.
This marriage is another chance
for me to become the Queen.
If So marries that girl,
his curse will become light?
You said he can become a King who can illuminate Goryeo?
Tonight, the heavens will give you that answer.
What are you doing?
Hang it up quickly!
Hurry up!
Hey!
Hey, come here.
Hurry up!
Hurry!
Untie this, quickly.
Okay, good.
Where am I?
This is your headquarters?
Yeah, everything is red.
Who are you?
Are you the leader?
I'm going to be your wife.
This is the bridal chamber.
What are you talking about?
We'll be married soon.
You and I.
That's right.
That's why you put me in a bag, right?
That's right!
I put you in a bag.
The wedding will start soon, come out.
Okay.
Please marry me.
Marry you?
Just for today
please lend me your body.
You want me to lend you my body?
How's 1,000 silver coins for a one-night marriage?
Come on.
I thought you were an assassin.
1,500 silver coins.
- Darn it. - 2,000 silver coins?
Darn it, darn it!
- 3,000 coins! - Oh my.
I'll get my butt handed to me if I go empty handed.
What do I do?
He thinks 3,000 coins is being empty handed?
5,000 coins!
Hey.
Red Woman.
Even if you give me 10,000 coins, it won't be enough.
So buy another man with that money.
This sucks.
No!
Please.
If you don't help me,
I have to marry someone who's twice my age.
Please have a fake wedding with me.
Don't be ridiculous and move aside.
I have to leave immediately!
Don't you pity me?
Hey, Red Woman.
If you're pitiful, then I'm pathetic.
- Get out of the way! - Wait.
Then what can I offer to buy you?
Hey.
Hey!
I'm not the person you can buy.
There's nothing I can't buy.
Say anything.
Is that right?
- Say anything? - Anything.
Fine.
If I ask for this whole country, will you give it to me?
You can't do that, right?
You can't do it.
That's why I can't do it.
Just wait.
Do I have to take you to the doors of Hell?
- Won't you get out of the way? - It's not that.
It's because that's not countable.
Isn't there something cheaper?
You're like a thief to ask this entire country for a night.
Are you stupid?
How could you take a joke so seriously?
- You must be stupid. - Miss!
General Kwak is here!
Already?
I have to check on the fiancé first!
Hey.
I don't have time to play with you.
Hurry up and move aside.
You won.
What is it?
The contract has been confirmed.
Are you the fiancé from Goryeo?
Would I make this up?
I asked this man.
He's like a walking corpse.
You're going to get married to this old corpse?
He says he doesn't like other men in the bridal chamber.
Tell him I'm here congratulate you because I'm happy for you.
So.
So this means you've been bought.
This means your father sold you out!
Isn't that what the corpse is saying?
He doesn't want other men to care about me.
You old corpse!
You shouldn't do that to a girl.
That's no way to act as a corpse!
As if she didn't have a choice,
she just picked up a man walking by
and wrapped him up. Look at her skin.
You old corpse!
He says, don't be interested in his wife
and to please leave immediately.
Very good! Very good!
As promised, I'll let your brother go
as a wedding gift.
What did you say?
What did he say?
Thank you.
Is he giving up on you?
Is he giving up?
We could've had the world in our hands.
You won't regret this?
Of course not.
I wonder if he knows how lucky he is.
He'll surely realize it.
Hey, hey, hey!
Is this good?
Are you happy?
Now I can leave.
Please bow to the gods.
If you're going to do this anyways,
can't you do it with more sincerity?
Smile like this.
And husband and wife bow to each other.
Hurry up.
How many times did I say I'm busy?
And...
Was it necessary for you to get a fake husband
and make such a big event out of this?
All you had to do was run away!
It's so tiring.
They saved me and raised me
when I had no parents.
They're my family and the world to me.
They're everything I need to protect.
The only way I could resolve this without abandoning them
was this.
You saved the life that I could've lost
because of General Kwak.
You did such a tremendous thing today.
It's not tremendous.
How is that tremendous.
Just like that!
Smile like that.
Okay, fine, hurry up.
Smile.
Smile!
Okay, okay!
It's raining.
[Shine or Go Crazy]
Your Majesty.
The Prince met a woman of light.
You're a good person.
You're my hero.
A hero?
The person who saved your life.
That's right, my wife.
