Aren't you supposed to get rid of a troublemaker while he's still young?
This is what being young is.
I will get a hold of such thought of yours.
From now on, call me your teacher.
I heard that a really famous storyteller lives here.
If you came here looking for a storyteller, then you did the right thing.
Please wait.
Brother! We have a customer!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you byThe Flying Dragons Team at Viki
Brothers! Brothers, brothers!
Gil Tae Mi is here.
Aigoo!
You who were looking for a storyteller so early in the morning,
who could you be? I am,
the one who sings, the one who dances!
the one who does masked performances!
The one who leaves you breathless, I'm the storyteller!
Really?
Yes. That is right.
Can you please take off that mask?
Yes? Why are you being like that?
If I tell you to take it off, just do it.
If you don't want to die.
Ah, seriously...
Aigoo, I'm going to perform soon though...
Was it not?
I'm not sure.
It's not. It's not.
You can't even avoid that one?
Anyway, it's not you.
Find that stone piece and use it for treatment.
That is an expensive jade.
Do you want one more?
If that person is the storyteller, do you think he would reveal himself as that?
Then, where are we going to find that person?
The guys saw that person's face.
I've split them up to every place in Gaegyeong so please just wait.
There's a problem at the Do Dang right now.
Problem? What problem?
The man called Yak San is alive.
What?
General Lee Seong Gye brought Yak San to the Do Dang...
Really?
Something really bad happened to Hap Ha.
Ah, I didn't get to see that funny thing.
Make sure to find that person.
Don't kill him and make sure to bring him to me.
Should I give you a jade?
If what that person Yak San is saying is true,
the charges against General Lee Seong Gye are groundless.
Also, if there is someone who plotted this, we have to catch that person.[Choi Yeong]
Of course. That person dared to slander General Lee Seong Gye
and planned to cause problem to Goryeo's Do Dang. That person must be punished for those crimes.[Po Eun: Jeong Mong Joo]
Teacher!
Thank you for saving me.
[Sam Bong: Jeong Do Jeon]
[Lee Bang Won]
For accepting me as your disciple,
thank you.
So
please accept this disciple's first question.
With your right method that doesn't use the ways of the troubled times,
can you win the fight against those people?
Can you chase those people out?
The people I have seen,
more than a person who is right,
they like a person who wins.
My father.
They like my father not because he's upright
but because he wins. He wins every fight.
That kind of person
has finally jumped into the world of politics.
You have to win.
If you don't win,
the people will immediately abandon my father.
You have to win.
You have to surely win and...
I will win.
Man to man,
can you promise me that?
Man to man, can you promise me that?
I promise.
Could you be...
the child from back then?
Yes.
That's right, Teacher.
So that's why Boon Yi asked you to be saved so earnestly?
You've met when you were young.
What do you mean by that?
She knew me from when we were young?
You didn't know?
Bang Won will be released today so come to Jin To Jae Hill
His body won't be in good shape. Please come and take good care of him.
Because you have saved me three times now.
Three times?
I only saved her twice.
Then the first time I saved her was...
Let's go.
Then what do I do?
Your father has to have power.
Boon Yi was that child?
Are you okay? Can you walk?
Hey, are you okay? Should I carry you on my back?
Hey, this won't do. Let's hurry and go.
Please be careful! Be careful!
He just came out of the investigation office.
Aigoo... Just stay still.
Ah, really... Those bastards.
Pull your knee up.
That's right.
Ajussi!
How could you just thoughtlessly do it?
Are you going to be responsible if he dies during treatment?
Seriously...
That's why I told you so many times to do it gently...
What kind of a young person be such a crybaby...
Ah, it hurts.
He said it hurts.
Put it like this, that's right.
Are you okay?
Hey, why are you not saying anything and just smiling like that?[Boon Yi]
You're in your right mind, right?
No? Hey, what's your name? Tell me! What about my name?
Lee Bang Won, say it. What's your name?
Hey... let's hurry and go.
Why didn't you tell me
that you were that child who I went to Do Hwa Jeon with.(Do Hwa Jeon: Lee In Gyeom's house)
Never mind. There's no use to that.
From the time you set fire to the government office,
when you took my top off,
when you ran and avoided me at the inn,
I knew it.
"It's her."
"That girl is mine."
♫ I recognized you many times. ♫
♫ Thanks to you, I am alive. ♫
♫ Without a doubt, I recognized your voice. ♫
♫ Even when you ask me a thousand times, I think it's you. ♫
♫ The one who made me live and breathe, it's you. ♫
Hurry and put it on.
Hey. At times like this, just...
I don't think that I'm yours.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you byThe Flying Dragons Team at Viki
What is this? Why am I like this?
Why did I suddenly think of Brother?
My heart was racing and I was happy...
I feel like I'm only betraying Brother.
What to do? What do I do?
Aigoo. You also know how to be shy.
I don't have any feelings for you.
It's been a long time since I decided not to feel anything for other people.
I can't give affections to anyone. Receiving it is burdensome so I don't like it.
In this good for nothing world, what of love and affection?
Because you saved me, I'm just thankful.
You and I share the same will and we're comrades with the same goal...
That's right. Right, comrades.
Ajussi is the same. We are all comrades going on the same path.
That's a more important relationship than family.
So, are you rejecting me right now?
Yes.
Me, Lee Bang Won?
Now that I thought about it,
I don't like that you're Lee Bang Won.
Boon Yi, Sa Wol, Chil Woo...
We are people who don't even have surnames. You're a nobleman.
Love for a person like you...
If I get tangled with something like that, I'll just have to live a hard life and get punished.
I can clearly see it in front of me.
The record of the Hwa Sa Dan girl's face and specialties have already come out of Yak San's mouth.
If we keep on digging, your name will surely come out too.[Hong In Bang]
What do you want me to do?
[Lee In Gyeom]
It's about time for me to me rest.
I need to be positioned in one of the highest offices
including the investigation office.
Well that, do as you please.
Then, I will be responsible of this case and cover it up.
Do a good job.
Please send him my congratulations.
To whom?
Do you think this victory belongs to you?
My congratulations is for the victor who planned this.
Congratulate that person for me.
What is it that you're talking about...
What did you do this time? Did you even do anything?
You are just a pawn in the chess board.
Yeong Mun Ha Shi Joong?
Yes, you will be in charge of it. It was decided like that.
Is Lord Lee In Gyeom really stepping down?
It was hard to reject.
You were here?
I talked to His Highness
and handed in my resignation.
The two of you can talk.
Why did you do that? Why did you do such an irrational thing?
In Go or Chess,
When you start a game predicting your opponents move and thinking of a counterattack, you get absorbed in it,
as you get absorbed in it, you'd cling to it more.
After doing that for a while,
how this match started, who's match is it,
there's a case where you forget those things. That's when you'd feel flustered.
Who are you playing that game with?
General. From here on, your duty is very important.
Watch over Lee Seong Gye.
Carefully look at the shadow behind Lee Seong Gye.
The evil doings of Hong In Bang has surpassed Lee In Gyeom.
He has taken control of the government so he'll be worse.[Nam Eun]
Until when are you going to be allied with that person?
It's inevitable that I ally myself with Hong In Bang to move on to the next step.
Yes, I know.
But don't you think that Hong In Bang can also strike us first?
It's better to shed less blood.
You'll understand my words later on.
General! We've done a big thing by joining hands.
Our alliance is only up to here.
General Choi Yeong said that he'll remove you from the Do Dang, right?[Lee Seong Gye]
To avoid that, you decided on offering half your assets.
So?
But now that you've avoided that danger and even gotten a higher position,
I think I've done everything regarding the approval of the An Byeon Chaek.(An Byeon Chaek: A plan to stabilize the border)
Yes. Do that.
But from here on, you'd have to fight me.
Will it work?
The Ga Byeol Cho and I have never avoided any fight.(Ga Byeol Cho: Lee Seong Gye's secret private army)
Is that so?
Also, I've never lost.
What?
Are you saying that you've parted ways with Hong In Bang?
That's what I said.
What did Lee Seong Gye do? He broke the alliance?
It worked out better this way.
What do you mean well?
Since we've accomplished the deed by being allied with Lee Seong Gye, now it's time to pick on his share.
Because he broke the alliance himself, we got rid of cumbersome work.
We now have an advantage in the Do Dang.[Woo Hak Joo]
So what do we need Lee Seong Gye for?
Yes. Since General Choi Yeong has become the Yeong Mun Ha Shi Joong,
we have 10 people on our side.
The decision of the Do Dang will be done by us.
I can't do it with Hong In Bang.
Now, Hong In Bang and Gil Tae Mi have the majority of the Do Dang.
So our plan is to restrain those people
through our alliance with Hong In Bang while establishing a new power...
Am I not telling you that I'm rejecting that plan right now?
Don't you know where my power comes from?
Also, what do people see when they look at me, Lee Seong Gye?
I do understand what you're saying but...
As a person who knows that, how can you put me with Hong In Bang?
How can you make me do an alliance with that person and make me weak?
This is my will.
I'm asking for a different plan.
This person's greed is really enormous.
He doesn't listen to muddied words and to protect his honor,
he has chosen this path.
Why are you not answering? Do you not have a plan now?
It's not that. I will offer a new plan.
-Young Master!-Young Master!
Bang Won!
Young Master! Young Master!
Young Master!
Are you okay? I went to the investigation office and they said you already left. Where did you go?
I was really upset that something like that happened while I wasn't around.
This bastard. If the investigation office didn't take you, I would have killed you.[Lee Ji Ran]
I heard about it, Hyung-nim. For me, you did all sorts of things and used your power.
If that happens again, I wouldn't care of you live or die.[Lee Bang Woo]
Yes, Hyung-nim.

Father.
I was wrong.
No matter what punishment you give me...
I know that what you said is right.
Father!
That's right, to you, I'm probably a great father.
That great father surrendered to an evil person and lowered my head.
To think that you saw that image when you were young,
how did you live all this time?
Don't be like that. I was wrong.
You were so proud of me.
I will become a father you will be proud of again.
I won't lower my head to evil and I won't hold on to something dirty.
I will become a father who's proud and confident.
I will do my best to be like that again.
I will definitely work hard.
Father, I'm sorry. I was wrong.
It was because of his son? Not because of his greed to be aloof?
Does it mean that he broke the alliance with Hong In Bang because he wants to be a proud father?
I wasn't going to eavesdrop. I'm sorry.
Actually, I was also eavesdropping.
To protect the people in my care,
I will save Bang Won and not only him,
to protect my people, I have to go into politics.
I need to enter the Do Dang.
I will become a father who you can be proud of again.
Fence, family, father, honor...
Now, little by little,
I'm starting to know Lee Seong Gye, the king of the country I will establish.
But I don't think it will be easy.
The path in front of me will be exhausting.
You said you don't have feelings for me but you're feeding me medicine?
How can a man be so twisted. Shove it in! You have to eat so you can recuperate fast.
You should also be a good son to the General from now on.
What are you saying all of a sudden?
You eavesdropped, right?
Yes.
Ajussi eavesdropped with me.
It's a smoothly working organization, whether it's the leader or the member.
-I envy you.-For what?
"So a family is like that."
I thought, "So that's what a parent and child relationship is like."
How was your family?
My father died after being dragged into the battlefield when I was three.
Mother
is probably dead since she's been missing.
Don't look at me like that. There's probably a lot of people in Goryeo like me.
Even among the people gathered in Ham Joo, there will be a lot of people with the same story as mine.
This country is like that.
So I met Ajussi and listened to his words...
What about your brother?
You have the brother you were with in Gaegyeong.
What happened to that brother?
You should have died! You should've died together, stupid!
He died.
He probably died because I told him to die.
Are you okay?
He's not a person who can endure this troubled times anyway.
He's softhearted, weak, and has lots of fear.
He was like that. My brother Ddang Sae.
Brother, why are you like that these days?
Gil Tae Mi came here. We have to leave.
Why are you just staring blankly everyday?
Maybe I got defeated by Gil Tae Mi.[Gil Tae Mi]
You didn't lose. You just didn't win.
After competing with him a few times, I understood. I'm lacking by a little bit.
Even with as little as that, a warrior can die.[Ddang Sae: Future Lee Bang Ji]
So? You're being like this because you lost to Gil Tae Mi?
Everyday, you don't eat and just sits here looking at the far away mountain. You must be kidding.
You met that person, Unni Yeon Hee, right?
Do you think I wouldn't know when you started to act like that?
It started when we got a request to spread that rumor regarding Hong In Bang.
You came back with your eyes swollen as if someone made you cry.
Let's go far away for now. Okay?
Why did you come see me?
The actions of the Bi Guk Temple monks are quite urgent.
What are they doing?
I don't know about that but a while ago, they started investigating a storyteller.
What could it be for Gil Tae Mi to do it himself?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you byThe Flying Dragons Team at Viki
[Yeon Hee]
I'd like it if you leave.
I'm really living happily.
But
after you appeared, I, who was living life well, have been having a hard time.
I'd like it if I won't see you.
I have no choice but to be harsh. I'm selfish. I've become that kind of person.
It makes life easier.
Even if you go to a different place, you'll do well as a storyteller.
That's why
please,
leave this Gaegyeong.
I beg of you.
You should have died.
You should have died together, you fool!
Just like always. You just have to do it like always.
If you don't, you'll just break down. Don't be like that.
You... are really brave.
Even when something like that happened, you're brave, bright, and glowing.
You're so cool.
Among the people I've met, you are the best.
I'm not brave. I'm not bright nor glowing. I'm not cool.
I'm just doing everything to live.
So please get yourself together.
Does it seem like I'm joking?
If you're not joking, then you must be immature.
Immature?
Right.
What can a noble like you and me do?
You calculate the national law.
What can a noble like you and I do according to the law?
Ah, concubine? I won't be like that.
That's not what I'm saying.
In the end, you'd be saying that.
Later, even if I will say that,
right now, I want to be a family to you.
I want to be your lover and to you,
I want to be a special person.
Answer me.
Answer me. Do you like me or not?
I told you to answer.
I don't like it.
You really don't like it?
Yes. I don't like it.
I will not make something like a family.
Receiving love from someone
is being to shameless to my brother.
-Ah! I asked you to let me meet the minister.-Don't be like that and just fall in line.[Hong In Bang's house]
Stand in line!
Excuse me. I'm Kim Dae San from Sa Cheon.
What government office do you want?[Lee Kwang: Hong In Bang's servant]
In-law! As I opened my eyes, the world has totally changed with the two of us in the center.
But where did In-law go?
Then, how will you block the Yuan envoy?
The more they try to confine you, the more you keep moving and living. Do you understand?
I don't know. Everything was ordered by Jeong Mong Joo
No matter how much the world mock me for abandoning my belief, in the end, I won.
I, Hong In Bang, own this Goryeo.
I brought him with me.
Congratulations.
You know that what happened during the year of 1375 wasn't our intentions, right?
Yes, yes.
We only received orders and did our jobs.
Yes.
Yes. You know, right?
I was wrong.
Save me. Please save me.
In 1375, how could the torture you did to me be your own intentions?
You're just following orders.
Elder, thank you.
Thank you very much.
I understand you, who can only do as ordered.
No.
You should also understand me.
Why is he not coming?
Elder Minister Hong In Bang is here.
In-law!
Aigoo, here.
Okay! Everyone, raise up your glasses
When you came to our group and offered your hand,
I didn't know that you were this great. But looking at you now, you're not just the head of one group
but the person who will become the head of this great Goryeo.
Why are you like this? The Prime Minister is here.
No, no. I also agree. If not for you, do you think I would be in this place?
Okay, for Elder Hong In Bang who has become Minister,
let's all drink to that!
-Congratulations!-Congratulations!
Congratulations!
The General will stay in Gaegyeong now.[Gaegyeong's Ga Byeol Cho training camp]
So starting tomorrow, Gagegyeong Ga Byeol CHo's training will be reinforced.
Especially the newcomers, get yourself ready with your strong hearts.
Yes!
Especially, Moo Hyul!
Yes!
Although you came in as Bang Won's bodyguard,
According to the order of the Ga Byeol Cho, you will learn from the start under Young Gyu.
What? B-but I...
This kid, really. That, that...
Yes, for sure.[Myo Sang: Moo Hyul's grandmother]
Where ever you go, you have to start from the very bottom.
That's the way to succeed and gain world recognition.
Training starts tomorrow at Hour of Myo (5-7 o'clock).
-Keep that in mind.-Yes!
Hey... look here.
Look... look here.
The three of you are from Ham Joo so you probably haven't heard of my fame.[Hong Dae Hong: Moo Hyul's Master]
I...
Hey, what are you doing right now?
What are you doing?!!
As the author of this martial arts book,[24 Moves of the Twin Dragons of the East]
Ah! I'm not a martial arts learner but my body has a knack for teaching...
How can someone who can't even avoid that do martial arts?[Lee Bang Gwa]
Tricks don't work in the Ga Byeol Cho so do the training from dawn tomorrow.
Yes.
What do you mean learn agaiin from the beginning?
It's probably because they don't know me,
Eh? You're laughing? Are you mocking me?
This is really about my blood and tears.
I wasn't mocking you.
Just that... you must like it, warrior-man.
Like? what's there to like?
Don't worry. You'll come to understand it when you start training anyway.
Then I've to go somewhere.
Excuse me, but where do you go everyday?
Just going to buy taffy.
Taffy...
What? The alliance is broken?
The General wants individual power.
So I'm going to change the plan.
Hong In Bang has become the leader of the majority of the Do Dang now.[Lee Shin Jeok]
We won't be able to do anything in the Do Dang.
It's also something that I want but how are you going to stop Hong In Bang's faction?
Is that how you see it?
Hong In Bang has already made a fatal mistake.
If his alliance with the General wasn't broken, it wouldn't have really mattered.
But since the alliance has been broken, his mistake has become fatal.
What mistake are you referring to?
Attacking Lee In Gyeom. That's the biggest mistake in his life.
That...why?
You'll see it soon. Okay, then things that we've to do
A different force is coming in.
What do you mean?
Haedong Gapjok?
You're in control of the whole Do Dang and it's our world now
What do you lack for you to extend your hand to those people of Haedong Gapjok?(prestigious families who had been high-ranking officials, married royal family members and had political authority)
If we will also have the support of the Haedong Gapjok,
I can see everything completely leaning towards us.
Then, Hap Ha's other people will also
step down by themselves.
Also, the Haedong Gapjok don't participate in the Do Dang themselves.
I am not hoping for a big profit. I just want security.
That's why I don't like them.
They don't even do anything yet they act almighty...
Because they're like that, do you think they're not interested in politics? Right now, because Hap ha fell out of power,
they're probably making a fuss.
We have all gathered.
[Min Je: Head of the Haedong Gapjok, nicknamed Eo Eun]
It's still the same.
You personally spread the soil with your hands.
At this time of the year, the water comes up so the cabbages are sweet. Have some wrap.
Teacher... Hap Ha Lee In Gyeom has fallen out of power.
In the end, Hong In Bang did it.[Jo Ban]
He even got the Minister position.
Stop that and say something, teacher.
I've only heard of Lee In Gyeom falling out of power now so what do I know?
I don't have an insight like Teacher Yuk San.
But the genius is at your house, right?
That's Teacher Eo Eun's daughter, right?
That's right. Let's go to my house and ask.
I think Hong In Bang has made a mistake, Father.
My daughter really has a lot of interest in politics.
So, what mistake did Hong In Bang make?
He attacked Lee In Gyeom.
That.. why is it a mistake?
Because Hong In Bang took off his armor himself.
Armor, you say?
General Choi Yeong has always been antsy about not knocking out Hong In Bang and Gil Tae Mi.
But why do you think he can't do it?
That's because Lee In Gyeom has been blocking it.[Min Da Kyung: Future Queen Won Kyung]
Since he attacked Lee In Gyeom himself, he took off his own armor.
Why? isn't it right?
Aigoo. My daughter is better than Teacher Yuk San.
Look into Min Jae and Yuk San.
If you say Min Je and Yuk San, do you mean the Heads of Haedong Gapjok?
Are you thinking of involving yourself with the Haedong Gapjok?
That's right.
Those people don't only not bother with politics
but also don't have good connections with the members of the Do Dang. It wouldn't be easy.
Why? Do you think I can't do it?
I don't mean that.
Because the Haedong Gapjok supported Lee In Gyeom,
this Hong In Bang cannot get their support?
Why? Because I wasn't from the leading political faction?
I didn't really mean that.
If not, is it because I betrayed the Sadaebu?
No.
Those people follow the trend so they will probably support you, Minister.
What he needs to gain at this point is the people's hearts...
Well, I've seen a few of them
The powerful people who have risen to the top... has changed.
Hong In Bang, it could be you in the near future.
He has appeared!
The storyteller! That man has appeared.
-Where is he?-At the Nam Dae Ga Marketplace.
You must capture him alive. You know his skills, right?
Prepare to paralyze him.
They said that Dong Rae Market is really good.
With your skills, we can make it big there at once.
Let's go all the way to Tam Ra.
Ok, let's do that.
What's wrong?-Just walk.
What is it?
There are about 20 of them. They are after me.
What should we do? There are too many people, they will know you if you fight.
Let's go into an alley.
Now!
Get him!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you byThe Flying Dragons Team at Viki
He's with a girl.
They can't be far away, go look for them.
It will be hard to lose them if I don't fight.
It's a paralyzing drug.
You'll get paralyzed.
It will take 6 hours for it to subside.
Until then, we can't fight.
What should we do? We will get caught.
Brother, let's do this.
Hwa Sa Dan is right in front.
Those people who are following us seem like Bi Guk Temple monks.
We must go there no matter what.
Those Bi Guk Temple monks can't go into Hwa Sa Dan.
They have a really bad relationship.
Go hide there until you recover.
You...
I'll buy more time.
What are you going to do?
You know me, my talent.
I'm leaving.
Excuse me, come with me.
There!
What is it?
The person we are chasing came in here.
So?
Are you going to search here?
No...
Well, if you allow us
I was thinking of trying.
Get lost.
Why does it have to be that wench.
Lord Lee In Gyeom has lost his power and stepped down.
After 8 years, the person of power in the Do Dang has changed again.
At a time like this, our information
can be dealt more expensive than ever.
After Lee In Gyeom stepped down, the status of the people assigned to you,
and what they think about Hong In Bang dominating the Do Dang[Cho Young: Hwa Sa Dan Owner]
secretly investigate everything and report back.
Yes!
Ja Il Saek, stay.
Ja Il Saek?
That Ja Il Saek?
Yeon Hee.
Yes.
Yeon Hee. Yeon Hee?
Did you find more about Jeong Do Jeon?
He has become Lee Seong Gye's tactician.
It seems that he played a part in Lee In Gyeom stepping down.
Why are you looking at me like that?
When did you learn about that information?
How come you're reporting now?!!!
Did you not know that Yak San was alive?
No, not at all.
I didn't have enough time to deeply look into it.
If we found it about it few days ago, then
We lost a big customer in Lee In Gyeom.
I'm sorry.
Fine. What is their next goal
and how their alliance with Hong In Bang was broken.
Find out.
I'll do that.
Yeon Hee.
You're a Hwa Sa Dan spy...
So it was you. Ja Il Saek.
I came thinking I might ask for food.
You're going around without eating?
It's same as back then and now.
Please bring in food and alcohol here.
Yes, sir.
Ok, have a sit.
Yes.
Why, you?
How are you...
You...
Are you a spy assigned to Jeong Do Jeon?
Why would you?
Are you living doing that dangerous thing?
Why have you been swept into this chaos?
What happened?
Brother said he will help out.
It turned out well.
I've sent Yak San away to another country to a salesman.
It's probably a good thing for him.
Ok, let's do that.
Did you not know that Yak San was alive?
No, not at all.
I didn't have enough time to look deeper into it.
So, it was you.
A double spy.
You didn't leave yet?
Don't come looking for me this late at night.
I don't know how you found out.
Ja Il Saek.
The legendary spy.
Known in rumors for ruthlessness,
Ja Il Saek.
