[This drama is fictionalized using actual historical figures and events.]
Lay it down for her.
Rather than hearing that our servants are rude...
wouldn't it be better to hear that they are exceptionally hospitable?
Will that be enough?
Collect all the silk in the house and lay it down for her.
Do as the guest wishes.
Lay the silk down on every step of the ground that she walks.
Miss In Yub!
Please do not do this! Why are you being so stubborn?
- Move. - Miss, please!
I said move!
No one in Do Seong thinks your father is alive.
It is not the time to go around disrupting another household's party.
Go now, and look after your father's corpse.
She sure is something.
Quickly, quickly!
How could you make me out to be a lying, two-faced person like that?
Marrying In Yub is of no value to us.
Isn't breaking off your engagement the reasonable course?
Am I an item to sell off?
Son!
If it's for the profit of the family, am I an item you will sell off?
No matter what, I will marry In Yub.
Son!
You should think realistically.
A heaven-sent destiny is not so easily broken.
The heavens may start it, but it is man that ends it.
Father, please step forward and take action.
Send another messenger to Ham Heung and save the State Councilor.
If not that, then a letter.
If you use your palace connections, you'll know whether he is dead or alive.
Why would I do that?
No matter what, do not be insubordinate.
You're a Sung Kyun Kwan student who hasn't even graduated yet.
While you live in your father's house, eating your mother's food
you are not an adult.
- Lord, our Eun Ki is still innocent... - Innocence is an insult to a man!
Instead of innocence, have ambition.
If you have the world
In Yub, and all the women you want, will bow at your feet.
Move, move! Out of the way!
Move! Don't talk to me. Miss, just one moment!
Episode 2 I'm going... don't get off... wait...
Put these on.
Oh, Miss!
I'm okay. I'm just a little dizzy.
Why did you have to be so stubborn?
I didn't know they'd really lay down silk for me to walk on.
Poong Yi, go away. Get lost! Quickly!
Already I can guarantee everyone in Do Seong is talking about this.
Was I... a bit...
a rude jerk?
A bit? You were... Big time!
If Eun Ki hears about this, what will I do?
You just thought of that now?
Eat! You didn't even get a bowl of noodles at the party.
I have no right to eat any food.
That's true, but you should still eat.
Just have a spoonful. You look like you're going to faint.
Do you think... he's safe?
- Miss. - There really hasn't been any contact.
No new could be good news.
If...
If my father is dead, what will happen to me?
- Wouldn't I be an orphan? - Miss!
I told you to stop saying such things!
The malicious things people say...
stab at me like a knife.
Just eat for now.
Miss? There's someone here from the Defense Minister's house.
What is it?
Miss Yoon Ok sent me.
She says she cannot use silk that's been stepped on.
But she finds it wasteful to throw away palace goods.
She wants to return it to you.
Are you joking right now?
I am only here on an errand.
Let's go.
How dare you bring this back here!
If this was done to offend me, that intent is fully understood.
Take it back.
If you don't want a gift returned to you...
why don't you give her new silk?
I believe that's the right thing to do.
What did you say?
If you need to take your anger out on me, go ahead.
A noble beats a servant as he would a dog
and cuts off his head and buries him in the mountains.
Who will say anything?
Even if you kill a person, if it's someone else's servant
our world is one where you can pay restitution and all is well.
A man cannot touch a woman.
A slave cannot touch a noble.
So you, Miss, can discipline me as much as you like.
Do you... think that I won't be able to?
I know... that you are able to.
Do it.
But, do you know this?
The maid that wore your shoes once...
is being severely punished and beaten for it.
I'm sure your pride is important.
However...
is it important enough...
for a person to be beat over?
Beg for forgiveness, you wench!
Why aren't you even begging for forgiveness?
That's enough!
From now on, Gae Ddong will take care of Yoon Ok.
- Really? - Madam!
- Do you need to be beat again? - No! I'll take care of her from now on.
Let her down.
- Get down. Hold her. - Here.
Be careful.
Dan Ji, are you okay?
Go on up. I'll organize things down here.
Dan Ji, are you okay?
Please come out, wherever you are.
Where is that ring?
Gosh! This is driving me crazy.
How could just that one ring disappear?
It's not Lady Yoon, the tiger of the house.
What about Yoon Ok, that fox. That's very possible.
I told her no so many times, but she still took my hair pin and still has it.
What are the chances that a maid took...
What is this?
It's nothing.
What do you mean, it's nothing? Are you stealing now?
Are you crazy?
Just because I tried on shoes, I'm not a thief!
Lady Kang has been looking for her lost ring!
What does this ring have to do with Lady Kang's lost ring?
This was a gift. It's mine.
A gift?
My goodness! You wench!
Didn't I tell you to stay away from the men in this household?
- You'll get yourself killed! - Haven't I been hit enough?
Am I really your daughter? How could you hit me so hard?
And is it okay for a maid to put on the master's shoes?
Because of your mom, your ankles were saved.
What's so wrong about trying on some shoes?
Don't stand out.
We can't be pretty and we can't be ugly.
We can't perform too well or too poorly.
I can't live this way, Mom!
Without even marrying, like a dog being bred...
you got pregnant just so you could breast feed.
You starved your own children in order to feed this household's children.
All my younger siblings, they've been dispersed all over the place.
I wouldn't recognize them even if I ran into them on the street.
Is this living?
Is eating well considered enough?
Is eating our only function in life?
So what are you going to do? If you don't live this way, how else?
You think things will turn out different because you're pretty and smart.
Despite all that, you're still just a servant.
Wait and see.
This won't be how your daughter, Dan Ji's, life will end.
Be quiet! Just put the ring back before you're caught!
I'm warning you.
You told her to offer new silk if she wanted to return it?
I'm sorry. I overstepped my boundaries.
No, you did well.
Even after I sent back the silk, I still couldn't shake off my anger.
Now that I hear about your interaction, I finally feel better.
- Miss, please! - Why aren't you packing?
Miss please!
Don't stop me!
I'm going to Ham Heung. I'm going to go and find my father.
If we die, we'll die together and if we live, we'll live together.
Miss, why in the world are you doing this?
Miss! Miss!
Is the horse ready to go?
Miss... it's very late right now.
- Are you looking down on me too? - Miss, that's not it.
It's enough that other household's servants disrespect me.
Now, my own servants disrespect me?
- Miss, why are you being this way? - I said get the horses!
Fine then.
- I will go by foot if I have to. - Miss?
- Miss! Miss! - Stop!
- You can't! - Miss! Miss!
What is it, Miss?
Since we haven't married yet, you can only wear one ring.
Until we have a wedding, we will wear one each.
Wait for me. I have gone to bring your father back from Ham Heung.
I'll see you when I return.
My In Yub who sits deep within my heart.
It's from Master Eun Ki, isn't it?
What does it say?
Drink this.
What is this, Lady Yoon?
It's medicine that will induce a miscarriage.
Lady, I've committed a sin!
But what sin has this baby committed?
I will bow down and serve you, but please... the baby...
Just let the baby... please!
I feed you, give you shelter, and clothe you.
Even when outsiders suffered with forced labor and famine
you lived, full of food and in comfort, under my roof.
Is this how you repay me?
I had no choice. You know how it is, Lady!
Feed her the drink.
Lady!
What is it?
Do you sympathize because you've been through it?
Lady, that's not it.
Please save me, Lady. Please save me!
You won't die, just your child.
- Lady... Lady! - What are you doing?
Yun Kyung.
Why are you doing this? Don't do it.
Lady.
Does the Lord know what you're up to?
- What did you say? - It is the Lord's child!
You cannot treat his child this way!
Ok Yi, are you crazy?
- Moo Myung, are you out there? - Yes, Lady.
Take this wench outside.
Since she doesn't want to abort, I guess there is no choice.
Her fate shall be with the child.
Lady... Lady!
- Lady! Lady! - Lord...
Lord. Lord! Lord!
Lord!
- Lord! - What are you doing?
Yes? Oh, of course. I'll clean it up.
Ok Yi has been sent to my family's house.
Do you understand?
Yes.
I'm sorry. I was wrong to run.
Let me live!
I'll make it quick.
Is the State Councilor safe?
He has been imprisoned.
I've been in and out giving him food to eat.
Today, they won't let me in at all. So I've just been out here.
Who goes there?
I am Eun Ki, son of the Finance Minister.
Please let me see the King.
Do you think the King meets with any random fellow that passes by?
The State Councilor that you've imprisoned is my father-in-law.
There's been no news for months, so we've come to see him. Let us in.
Wow. Don't you hear the rumors?
Messengers who come to Ham Heung do not make it back out alive.
What are you planning?
You'll get yourself into big trouble.
- What will you do in there? - Get down.
Who goes there!
Get them!
Master, take your belongings!
Stop it!
Hey! Wait a minute! Mister!
He killed his brothers. I cut him off like I would a demon.
[Ham Heung Messenger - Gook Yoo]
On behalf of Bang Won...
go to hell and wait for him there.
When you raised up Joseon, I committed myself to you.
Even if you decide to end my life now, I won't feel any regret, but...
how long will you keep pushing away your son?
Shut up!
You have a lot to say, being Taejong's lackey.
Hurry up and silence that mouth!
Sire!
Stop!
- Father! - Eun Ki, why have you come here?
- Are you okay? - Move out of the way!
Sire, the State Councilor has no fault in any of this.
How can you kill an innocent subject and be remembered as a cruel king?
Who are you?
Has Bang Won sent another messenger?
I am not a messenger.
I am here on behalf of a loved one who has been awaiting news of her father.
Though all eight provinces of Joseon may be in the hand's of Bang Won...
this, here, is my land.
You may enter it, but you will not leave here alive.
While you take out your frustrations on the wrong people...
do you not realize that these people have family and loved ones too?
Eun Ki!
What did you say?
You are surely accelerating the death of the State Councilor.
What are you doing? Cut off his head!
Lord! Master!
Lord! Lord!
[Defense Minister: Heo Eung Cham]
[Finance Minister: Kim Chi Kwon]
Even Sun Sang Gae could not play as well as you do.
So, it was not a rumor that Seong Do's treasure has moved to Han Yang.
Thank you for looking upon my inadequate skills so kindly.
What is the reason you left your hometown and moved to this city?
Don't ladies usually move to follow one exceptional man?
Do you have a significant other in Han Yang?
A courtesan's affection is based upon the transfer of money.
The one that pays the most is my significant other.
Very well said!
I was getting tired of listening to those who failed national exams.
Since Han Yang is a new land, full of a new nation's energy...
I thought it might be different here, and that's why I moved.
You have no pretension or hypocrisy.
Your charm is in your honesty and frankness.
I like it.
I like it very much.
Enough to sway me.
There it is.
Let's go.
He has a lot of lust for women, but he also has a lot of suspicion.
If you come on too strong, he may start to suspect you.
Do not meet him unless it is through me.
Even if you happen to see him...
do not give him any notice.
I'll figure things out on my own.
Are you saying you're confident?
This isn't seduction. This is business.
I can be calculating about this.
Get Heo Eung Cham's household in your hands.
You must not get wrapped up in useless past relationships.
I will forget it and throw it all away.
I have no lingering feelings.
Do not worry.
It's not lingering feelings I see. I see greed.
A greed to have it all.
I am more than satisfied with what you've provided me, Lord.
In Yub...
I think it is time to send a new messenger to Ham Heung.
Who will go this time?
Administration Minister?
If Administration Minister will not go...
Will you go, Justice Minister?
The citizens are starting to talk.
Another land looks upon us with suspicion.
Is there no one who will resolve this conflict?
Your Majesty!
The State Councilor is back from Ham Heung.
He requests a meeting with you, Sire.
Is my father in good health?
Your grace.
Even he cannot beat the passing of time. He has aged quite a bit.
And he still despises this son of his?
He has let his anger go and is waiting to repair the relationship.
He is planning on visiting this city soon.
The King's father killed all the messengers sent to Ham Heung...
How are you still alive?
I, too, was imprisoned for a long time, and did not know the fate of my life.
On the day that I was to die...
it was the Finance Minister's son who ran in to save my life.
The Finance Minister's son?
The State Councilor is someone who served you all his life.
A daughter who grew up without a mother and only had her father...
is waiting today with tears in her eyes.
Eun Ki! Let go of the sword!
If Your Majesty must see blood today, please take mine.
- Take me instead of the State Councilor. - Eun Ki!
- Aren't you afraid of death? - I am afraid.
I am scared, but...
I cannot turn the woman I love into an orphan.
Let go of that blade now!
Shouldn't you know better than anyone the pain of losing family?
He pleaded with him to think of the waiting families
and not be remembered in history as a cruel king.
He truly touched King Taejo's heart.
Well, now... that is a miraculous thing.
I'd like to meet that young man.
But...
Why did the Finance Minister's son go to rescue the State Councilor?
At one time, our two children had made promises to marry each other.
So, for the sake of his love, he risked his life for the State Councilor.
I wonder if his youthful enthusiasm has caused a disruption in the royal palace.
Thanks to that, we've solved a long-running conflict within the palace.
Because of your sacrifice, we almost did not have a marriage.
You should go ahead and go on with the marriage now.
Your grace is immeasurable.
Your grace is immeasurable!
Have you been well?
It was very difficult, wasn't it?
Thank you for waiting for your father.
Come now. We are in front of the palace.
So what if it's the palace? I don't need any of it.
I don't care for noble class or title.
If you're not here...
I'm just nothing.
Everyone who said you were dead...
Everyone who said to give up on you...
I wrote down all of their names, so that you can take it up with them.
You.
Wow! What's this? You even gave me meat?
You've really suffered lately.
Well now. I am a man who has done work for the country now.
What do you mean?
When I was Ham Heung, King Taejo was so erratic.
One day he would put him in prison and the next day throw him a party.
Several times a day, he would change his mind.
But, after Master Eun Ki came, he started trusting us
and he gave the Lord a special command.
- I ended up pitching in too. - What work did you do?
That is a secret!
Anyways, once this job is over, the Lord said I'm a free man.
- Really? - Yeah! He's going to give me farmland!
Sa Wol, you should... come marry me.
Well, what do I do about Miss In Yub?
I'm supposed to go with her even when she gets married.
You can go back and forth from our house.
Could I? No... I'll answer later.
If this happens, doesn't it make our household look bad?
Why has the State Councilor come back alive to cause such problems?
It's not like we can wish for him to come back dead.
What will happen to your dignity?
What about the reputation of our Yoon Ok?
The matchmaker came once, that's it.
No one knows that marriage was discussed, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
But, it sure is a waste.
The Finance Minister's son is quite a catch.
Let's have dinner.
Since I'm not feeling so good, maybe some drinks and music too.
You want to drink?
Send in a maid to wait on a table.
At a time like this, you want to eat with a girl?
Aren't you curious at all?
Wife, how many times have I said this?
Let's not speak so informally with each other.
I'm talking about Ok Yi!
Ok Yi?
Ok Yi... Ok Yi, you say.
Ok Yi?
Did you not know her name when you slept with her?
Or, did you forget her name already?
I sent her to my family, so you won't ever see her again.
Whether I'm sitting or standing up, you're the only one on my mind, my wife.
You rat face!
It's too bad about Ok Yi. She didn't get to take her new shoes.
Should I set aside a pair? Who knows when she'll be back.
Don't worry about others. Take care of your own shoes.
Oh, Dan Ji! Hurry up and pick a pair before everyone takes them all.
How about these?
Do you think I'm so shallow that I'd happily wear these?
Oh please! You were dying for shoes before.
My gosh! Look at all these radishes!
Moo Myung!
Try these on. See if they fit. Go on.
These are from Miss In Yub's household.
Everyone benefited from Dan Ji's mistake.
She wondered if that incident occurred because we didn't have proper shoes.
So, everyone got a new pair of shoes...
She says you should make a new dress and wear it to her wedding.
She says she apologizes for ruining the silk she gave you last time.
You should have seen how many shoes she sent to the servants' quarters.
Miss In Yub must be really generous!
She even takes care of other household's servants.
- Hold it up. - Excuse me?
- I said hold it up. - Yes.
Hold it properly!
I don't think it was a good idea to send shoes and silk to Miss Yoon Ok's house.
It was that household's servant who told me to send the new silk.
The shoes I sent because I felt like the servants got in trouble because of me.
I'm teaching them some courtesy too.
It's not a gift that makes one feel good.
You're spending more and getting cursed by others in return.
In the future, when you do something, give it one last thought.
Would you? Would you?
Oh, please!
If they want to curse me, let them.
Now, everything is okay. I'm not scared of anything.
My father is back home.
You have a dependable groom now too, is that it?
After I'm married, I'm going get you married too.
So don't you worry.
Miss, I told you I'm going to be with you forever.
Are you serious? You won't regret it later?
- Forever! - Miss, I'm hungry!
That looks so good. Miss, buy that one.
- Have you healed from your beating? - Oh my!
It's me, Yoon Seo. You're so cute, getting scared.
What do you want?
Did it hurt a lot?
It took you long enough to ask.
Dan Ji!
Tada! I went to the market and bought a pair of shoes.
I heard you got in trouble because of a pair of shoes.
So, you did have that ring!
Did you buy this at the market too?
Yeah, of course I did.
Really?
Yeah, why? Enjoy the shoes and the dishes.
Dan Ji?
What a shock!
See if these fit.
I braided the bottoms three times, so that your feet won't hurt.
They're really sturdy, so they'll last you a long time.
A group called Man Wol?
It's an underground organization planning a reconstruction of Koryo.
Before King Taejo arrives, he wants to find and eliminate them.
Can you help us?
This is a dangerous task.
- We should consult King Taejong... - We must keep this a secret.
Man Wol has infiltrated the government as well.
- It can't be. - It is true.
That is why all of the messengers to Ham Heung died and never made it back.
It is falsely rumored that King Taejo was responsible for their deaths.
It was done by those who don't want the two kings to reconcile.
I cannot believe it.
King Taejo was testing me to see if I was one of those traitors.
It was only because of Eun Ki that he became convinced that I was not.
And now, I am about to become a traitor.
What do you mean...
I've sent one of my men to join Man Wol in an undercover operation.
I've sent a note saying that I'm willing to support them financially.
I'm planning to join the Man Wol movement.
I must show generous support to get close to the core members.
'Let's paint the future together.'
Is that what you're saying?
Pretending to be a traitor can be dangerous.
It could create misunderstandings with the king.
I need you to be a witness to all of these events.
I have only you to trust, Lord Kim.
Will you do as I say?
No, I can't. I can't!
It's almost over.
He'll give up in a day or two.
When your life is on the line, what more is there?
He will do as we say.
When I was young, you were busy working and always left me with a nanny.
When I grew up, you taught me how to drink.
You do realize that I'm a daughter, don't you?
Shouldn't you have raised me like a fairy princess?
Daughter or son, you're my child. I am allowed a drink with my child.
Still, what if my mother-in-law and husband criticize me for being a drunk?
Oh my!
Were you planning on drinking with your in-law's?
- Is that not allowed? - No!
That's something only your father lets you get away with.
At your new home, you must pretend you have never even smelled alcohol before.
Then this has to be the last for you as well.
Just because I'm not around, you can’t drink by yourself.
I've already talked to the staff.
You must not skip breakfast and lunch.
Even if you go out for the evening
you're to have a proper meal when you get home.
You must also get a new outfit made on a monthly basis.
And please, take walks once in a while.
It's not good to ride in the sedan chair all the time.
I'm going to write to you everyday.
You have to write me back.
If you don't write me back, I won't write you.
Is that a threat?
Do you know what I went through while you were in Ham Heung?
I will write you back.
- And... - Let's stop.
- Let's stop In Yub. - Why? I have a lot more left!
I thank you for coming into this world as my daughter.
I'm...
sorry that I could not spend more time with you.
It would've been nice if I were a son.
Then I wouldn't have to leave you like this.
You are always by my side.
When I wake up and when I eat...
when I read a book...
I will remember all the words you said.
All this work and what do I get out of it?
Precious son, you look stunning.
Who knew he'd marry a undesirable girl with a single father?
Mother!
I don't like the State Councilor who caused you to injure your hand.
And In Yub is not right either.
She disrupted a party that the adults were having.
And who does she think she is to demand a silk carpet to walk on?
This is my marriage, not yours. I think she's just right.
She's my daughter-in-law too.
Well... you sure look handsome, my son.
Pull the right side down.
I told you not to go.
Yoon Ok.
Don't you worry! I'm just fine.
I want to go see how amazing this wedding is.
That way, I can make my wedding a bigger and brighter event.
- Let's go. - Yes Miss.
That stubborn girl.
Don't worry Lady. I'll go and escort her back safely.
When we are done with this wedding, you have to prepare to get married too.
I'm not getting married!
- Why? I know you want to. - No, I don't!
- Hey, it hurts. - Should I put the make up... like...
Miss? Our Miss would like to say hello before the ceremony.
- What ruckus is she going to cause? - Sa Wol!
Let her in.
Congratulations In Yub!
Thank you for coming. I know it was not easy.
I'll be a bit hurt if you keep talking like that.
Of course I am here.
Yoon Ok.
I am truly sorry for the terrible way I behaved in your home.
I didn't know whether my father was alive or not...
- I was very anxious. - I think it was a relief.
It was a good thing we ran into Eun Ki that day and everything was revealed.
If I didn't know, I would have gone off and married Master Eun Ki.
Gosh! It's awful to even think about it.
You would have been in a terrible situation.
That would never have happened.
Of course, I consider that days events as a good thing as well.
Because he found out about the strange marriage discussions going on
Eun Ki took it upon himself to go to Ham Heung and save my father.
If that incident hadn't happened...
I might have lost my father while waiting.
He really must be quite a guy.
The rumors in Do Seong are very precise.
Oh, In Yub! It's not like I liked him that much or anything.
Don't worry. I still have tons of marriage offers.
Okay. That's a relief.
You'll meet someone good soon.
I've become determined after seeing you.
I will become the bride of the person I choose.
Don't you think I have a soulmate too?
Miss In Yub?
We have to get going now.
The bride looks very beautiful.
Just hold that.
Bride's bow!
- The bride is so pretty. - She's so pretty.
- Oh my, so beautiful. - She's so good at bowing.
Miss is the prettiest in the world.
Groom's bow!
I'm okay.
Oh! What is this?
Gook Yoo is accused of a major crime!
Come forward and be arrested!
- Get that man! - Yes!
There may be others that are involved, so capture everyone present!
In Yub! In Yub!
Father! Father!
Let go! Father!
- Father! - In Yub! In Yub!
Father! Father! Father!
In Yub!
- Father! - In Yub!
Father!

Father!
I don't want to, Father!
You have to live! You have to live, In Yub!
Miss In Yub! Miss In Yub!
Aren't you In Yub?
Is the place I'm going the Defense Minister's house?
Bring her out right now.
I'll treat her worse than anyone. I'll make her into a true maid.
I have a favor to ask you, Father.
Is that you In Yub?
If you want to live like a slave, I won't stop you. Go!
This is no longer your home anymore, Miss.
