[This is a fictional drama based on historical facts.]
[Events depicted might differ from actual events.]
I'm not here to see you, Gaebong.
I'm here to check on my embellishments.
After I do,
and I see you coincidently,
then I guess I have to see you.
I'll have no choice.
Gaebong.
Gaebong!
I should meet him coincidently.
A blue dragon that soars the sky.
This is mine.
The feeling of rising to the heavens!
You're here, *Hyungnim?
[Hyungnim: A formal honorific of older brother or male.]
Gaebong!
This is crazy, it's starting again.
What is crazy?
Are you sick?
Hey, stay back.
What's wrong?
It's because I caught a cold.
Let's put some distance between us today.
Did you get the selling rights from the craftsman?
Chunghae Trading Company will sell it for you,
so bring it to us.
Okay, okay.
But what is all this?
They're the embellishments for the fight of the princes.
I made all of these!
Really?
But why did you do it and not the assistant head?
Well,
the assistant head ordered me to do it.
Is that so?
But whose is the blue dragon embellishment?
That is Prince Wang Wook's.
He is similar to a blue dragon, so I made it that way.
Is that so?
Then whose is this?
This is Prince Wang Won's.
This is Prince Wang Whi's.
And this is Prince Wang Rim's.
Oh, I see.
The one at the end is Prince Wang So's.
That's Prince Wang So's?
So that's Prince Wang So's, I see.
Why does it look like this?
What is this?
After hearing about him from the other princes,
I felt he was similar to a mouse.
A mouse?
A mouse that squeaks?
He lives in the skirts of geishas,
like a Don Juan.
Do you think that's all?
And he freeloads off of his marriage,
like a playboy.
Those damned jerks told lies.
That's a misunderstanding.
He's very nice and a great person.
And he cares so deeply for his brothers,
that it's hard to put into words.
And what about his looks?
Someone saw his face and was blinded by it
because he shined so bright.
It drove him crazy that he went blind!
Do you know Prince Wang So?
I know him a little bit.
I've met him a few times.
I've eaten with him, too.
Then please tell me in detail about him.
He is a tiger, that's right.
A magnificent white tiger.
He was exiled from the palace
at age 8 and went to Mt. Geumgang.
On the way up the mountain, he encountered a tiger.
It held up its right paw and said,
Wang So, Wang So, Wang So.
Then bowed to him over and over again.
And the wild board danced on the side?
That's right!
How do you know?
More, tell me more!
Okay, okay.
I'll be your mannequin.
A white tiger.
What do you think?
Do you think it suits him?
You've become weird
since you went to Chunghae Trading Co.
We must find the rest of the bronze mirror pieces!
We must follow He Pyung and Hong Gyu Ui's movements!
They're the ones who killed the First King!
Did you forget that?
Hyungnim!
You see,
for a while,
I won't be able to see you.
Are you going somewhere?
I want to get the selling rights to something
other than the bronze mirror.
So I'll be wandering around.
You made a good decision.
Now I can finally stop worrying about you.
Then
- when will you return? - When my work's done.
I won't be back
until it's all settled.
But, please be back soon.
Okay.
Be safe,
and be well.
[Shine or Go Crazy]
[Episode 8]
I never thought I'd escape my house.
Let's go in and play like last time.
Until shinsi tomorrow,
[Shinsi: 3~5 in the afternoon.]
I will pretend to be asleep from all the drinking.
You must let everyone know
and behave accordingly.
Yes, sir.
Be safe.
Okay.
I've received a message from Wolhyanglu.
His Highness has become drunk
and gone into a room with Cheong Ok.
Did they make sure in person?
Yes.
From now on, when he is at Wolhyanglu,
ask them to check in person.
Yes, ma'am.
And the man who was with His Highness before
was named Gaebong.
But after looking into it,
it was the assistant head dressed as a man.
What?
The assistant head?
No.
Your identity has been revealed,
and they'll check
to see where you are tonight and tomorrow morning.
You should leave it to us, and stay home.
Don't worry.
It looks like I'm staying with Cheong Ok at Wolhyanglu.
And in preparation for the fight of the princes,
I must warm up.
Are you going to participate in the competition?
I must participate.
This road is the only road.
And Mujeong Temple is empty right now.
Lure them here and finish them!
Are you busy today?
Your Highness.
I found a temple that
a woman by the name of Mun Dam stayed in.
They say it's empty right now.
They say her painting is still in her room.
Do you want to get some air and come with me?
I'll get the carriage ready.
Can we take our horses and go right now?
Why not?
Wait.
I'll change into more comfortable clothes.
You ate the bellflower.
How do you eat this flower?
Didn't we decide to be brothers
when you're dressed in men's clothing?
Yes, Hyungnim.
You eat the leaves of the rhododendron.
[Rhododendrons are good for infections,]
[but the back side of the leaves are poisonous.]
They say it's good for fevers, pains, and infections,
so they say it is an all-in-one flower.
Why aren't you eating it?
You ate the bellflower on the spot.
It's effective for a healthy person,
but it's like poison for the weak.
You will be paralyzed, starting from the hands.
Are you very sick?
I said it's like poison for the weak,
I didn't say that I was weak.
It's the room back there.
It's the Flying Fish.
The Flying Fish is a guardian god
to the people of Balhae.
Mun Dam who lived here
must've been from Balhae.
If that person is indeed my mother,
then the children pictured here,
are probably my brother and I.
As she was painting this,
she was praying for her children's safety.
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
This is the place
where we're meeting the assassins.
You've been trained very well
as you're Wang Sik Ryeom's men.
Before we give the silver coins to the assassins,
I must get a definite answer from you all.
What are you doing?
They're coming.
It's a trap.
Find them!
It's him.
It's the last one of the assassins
that killed my father five years ago.
I must get him.
Where did he go?
Shin Yool!
Hyungnim!
Wake up!
Hurry!
The three-legged crow.
This is the symbol of the virtuous men in black.
Then he's…
The rhododendrons.
Please.
Please swallow it.
You must swallow it to live.
A red uniform.
Who is it?
The black uniform is the virtuous men.
Gaebong.
Gaebong!
Gaebong, Gaebong!
Thank goodness,
you're not hurt.
Why are you so cold?
Are you okay?
Are you conscious?
How many fingers am I holding up?
No, who am I?
No.
Do you know where we are?
Hey.
Why are you so frantic?
Ask me one at a time.
You held up 3 fingers,
and you're…
Aren't you
Gaebong from Gaebong?
But where are we?
I think we're near Mujeong Temple.
I came here with Prince Wang Wook.
Prince Wang Wook!
What should I do?
He's probably worried that I'm gone.
That darn prince.
Does he have nothing to do?
This was the place where they said
my mother used to be, so we came here.
But didn't you say you were leaving to acquire selling rights?
Are you one of the virtuous men in black?
Don't try to change the subject.
I won't let you off on this one.
Who was the man in red?
Are they soldiers of a powerful family?
Did you kill that noble?
Is that why you fought with him?
Tell me.
Listen to me carefully.
The man from before
was an unlawful man.
Gaebong.
You must keep secret
that I'm one of the virtuous men.
I won't tell anyone, so don't worry.
I'll promise you anything, so please don't move!
And from now on,
protect yourself before me.
Promise me.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
My horse.
That's my horse, Hyungnim.
Did you come looking for me?
Do we have to do this?
You can't grab on to me tightly.
What if you fall from the horse?
Gaebong.
Hold on just a little longer.
Don't fall asleep.
Your Highness.
Please help me, Your Highness.
We should go to the inn, Hyungnim.
The way I see it, you look worse.
Go inside and drink some bellflower tea.
Where and how did you get hurt?
He fell from his horse.
So So is not used to horse riding.
Let's go.
I said you go inside.
I'll take him to the inn.
Go ahead.
Then just wait a little bit, Hyungnim.
Are you insane?
Are you trying to kill him?
If you really care about Gaebong,
then don't ever meet him again.
Ever.
Your Highness.
What happened?
Everyone went out to find you.
I found the maple leaves!
- Chun Hwa. - Yes.
- Please boil this for me right away. - Yes.
Miss, are you okay?
Wait!
So So should be at the inn.
Take this to him and put him in a warm room.
He left.
What?
But he's still…
What about me, who's worried about you?
What about this Hyungnim?
Can you not see me?
You were surprised that I was gone.
I wasn't just surprised, I thought
my heart was going to explode.
I'm sorry, Hyungnim.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
Near Mujeong Temple,
a noble was killed by assassins.
Did you know?
No.
It's the first time I'm hearing it.
Did you meet So So
at Mujeong Temple?
I met him on the way back.
I'm sorry, Hyungnim.
I'm really sorry.
Wake up!
Wake up, Miss!
The maple leaves are poison antidotes…
Miss, Miss!
What's happening?
She is paralyzed from poison.
Rhododendrons.
Fresh leaves are only used in emergencies
because they have bad side effects.
Go bring the tea!
You fool!
You almost had him,
but how could you lose him when he was so close?
You should've stopped him!
I couldn't kill him,
but I injured his left arm.
It'll be impossible for him to participate
in the fight of the princes.
What about the bronze mirror?
I got a person from the streets to spread the rumors.
The people are accusing the virtuous men
of the assassination.
Can you trust him?
What if he tells Prince Wang Wook…
He is sensible enough.
Eun Chun.
Five years ago,
among the red assassins,
the one who survived at the end,
I…
I fought with him at the palace.
The one they were targeting from the start
was me.
Your Highness.
This is serious.
We should go to your house.
I must show them
that I'm alive and well.
After I get myself together,
I will participate in the fight of the princes
no matter what.
Your Highness!
Tomorrow morning,
go to Baek Choong Hyun's house,
and carry out the next plan.
Then until the competition is over,
you should stay low.
Go.
Your Highness.
Wake up.
What are you doing here?
Gaebong.
Hyungnim.
Yes, It's me.
I'm here.
So So.
The butterfly's wing
is cut in half.
It's my talisman.
It must be ineffective,
seeing how you got hurt like this.
But thanks to this,
I didn't get hurt too badly.
Aren't you going to ask me
where and
how I got hurt?
If I do,
will you answer me?
And I mean the truth, not a lie.
I heard you declared to your brothers
that you'd participate in the fight of the princes.
Give it up.
It's impossible with your injuries.
I will participate no matter what.
I'll participate
and show the world
who Goryeo's
royal family is.
I will.
Too bad.
It's up to me to choose
who the next King will be.
What happened?
Hong Gyu Ui was killed by the virtuous men?
I heard they stole all of the silver coins too!
That's not the problem right now!
They have another piece of the bronze mirror!
That's why
I brought it here.
I'll trust you to keep it safe.
I collected all the bronze mirror.
And since Wang So hasn't shown himself yet,
his injuries must too much to bear,
or maybe he's dying
near Mujeong Temple.
He won't be able to enter the competition in that condition.
That's right.
Everything is going the way it's supposed to.
I'm curious about the King's condition.
By now, he should be showing symptoms.
The Hwang family is funding the competition entirely.
And the Pyung family is providing all the weapons
and goods that will be used for the competition.
- Also… - In the end,
the family who gave the most support
is the Hwang family.
Wook from the Hwang family.
He's been chosen as the next King.
Who else has said they will support the competition?
Chunghae Trading Company.
Chunghae Trading Company?
They are providing the embellishments
- of all the princes competing. - Those impudent fools!
I hear the assistant head and Prince Wang Wook
are very close.
The assistant head?
Not the head?
The head's sister is the assistant,
but I hear she's the real manager.
According to those who have met her,
she's beautiful and also very intelligent.
As a mere woman in a trading company,
how dare she supports a competition
that toys with the King?
Your Majesty!
The trading company is not the problem…
And still,
she wants to survive in Goryeo?
I won't let
that woman get away with it.
- Miss! - Miss.
Are you coming to?
Gyeong.
Go get the warmer.
Yool, do you know how much we searched for you?
We were so worried.
You've never been sick this like before!
We we worried sick!
Where did you go?
I went to Mujeong Temple with Prince Wang Wook.
Mujeong Temple?
Did anything happen at the temple?
I heard the virtuous men in black showed up.
The people were talking on the streets
that those men stole Hong Gyu Ui's silver coins.
But they took it for their own and not for the people.
Now they're saying they're thieves.
Silver coins?
Thieves?
That's ridiculous.
What do you mean?
- Thieves are thieves. - They're not thieves!
They're...
- Baek Myo, I… - Prince Wang Wook
stayed with you all night.
He was very worried,
but after he heard you woke up,
he left.
If you meet him later,
thank him.
Okay.
According to Chun Hwa,
So So was hurt.
Did you treat him with the rhododendrons?
I should've treated him more thoroughly,
but he just left.
Did you chew it with your mouth
to extract the juice?
Even when you knew you'd be paralyzed from the poison?
That was the only way.
What is he worth?
Don't hate him so much.
Miss.
Do you think
I hate him because
he's a poor swordsman?
That's not it.
You know it already.
You're just
getting by
living with the coldness in you.
Whenever you meet him,
your life weakens like paper shoes on water.
Your life!
If I don't see him, I miss him.
If I see him, my heart pounds.
I wanted to heal him even if it made me ill.
What can I do then?
Baek Myo.
I'm worried.
I feel like my heart is about to explode
because I worry about him so much.
What should you do?
Just you wait.
I'll crush your two legs
so you can't come near her.
Even if my life depends on it,
I'll stop you.
Of course.
You should've stopped them no matter what!
How could you put him in danger?
Have you forgotten about our royal mission?
How could I forget?
We promised the First King
that we'd help Prince Wang So become the King
and protect him until the end!
Day by day, the King's mind and body are weakening.
He wasn't strong to begin with,
but he tried to accomplish something.
But because of the fight of the princes,
these days, his judgement is diminishing,
and his personality has changed.
If he makes a mistake,
Wang Sik Ryeom will use the chance
to change the King immediately!
Then our royal mission will be unattainable.
At least His Highness is with Princess Yeo Won.
Wait.
Luck might be on his side after all.
Alkaid and Polaris.
The heavens joined them together.
My husband returned almost half dead.
What do you suppose happened?
So
came home?
Tell me everything you know.
The head of the virtuous men in black
is So.
Near Mujeong Temple, I saw one of them,
and I ran into a red assassin who was chasing him.
Then someone knocked me out.
It must be someone who knows me.
It was probably the head of the virtuous men,
So.
Then So showed up injured.
The assassins in red must be
Wang Sik Ryeom's men.
How is So?
He's still unconscious.
Even if he gains consciousness,
it'll be impossible for him to participate
in the fight of the princes.
Whether he participates or not,
whether he lives or dies,
it doesn't matter now.
It matters to me.
Now that I know he knows
the weakness of Wang Sik Ryeom's
then I'll have to have him in my hands.
What do you mean?
Where did you see him?
I saw him in front of Chunghae Trading Co.
He still went to see Gaebong
after that fierce battle?
I know Gaebong is the assistant head.
How long were you going to keep that from me?
So thinks Gaebong is a man.
He believes that she's a man
even with those feminine features?
I will win this competition
no matter what.
Regardless of who I compete against,
I will destroy them all.
Write to me in a few days.
- I will. - And
don't try to have all the cards in your hands.
I won't tolerate it
anymore.
Please see where So So is staying
and if he's okay.
You don't know where he lives?
I guess not.
Now that I think about it,
I don't know much about him.
I wonder where he is
and what he's doing in that condition.
I'll get a swordsman to look into it.
And find out more about the virtuous men in black.
Okay, then.
Miss.
You really need to rest more.
Why won't you listen to me?
I'm better now.
I've definitely seen him here.
Please call So So here.
He picked out an ornament for me before.
I liked it.
Call him here quickly.
So So isn't here right now.
He wasn't one of our employees.
He was just a swordsman on the streets.
But she pitied him and took him in for a few days
and taught him about trades.
He knows how to respect his superiors,
so he called me “Hyungnim.”
He followed me so loyally.
He still comes to visit me occasionally.
I want to speak with the assistant head.
Yes, ma'am.
I tried to be nice to Prince Wang Wook's sister,
but how could she be so cold?
That's the charm.
If there's charm in Yool's warmth,
then there has to be charm in her coldness.
Who am I talking to?
How did you get to know So So?
I occasionally dress as a man when I work,
and I met him then and now we're brothers.
That's why he thinks I'm a man.
That's funny.
A woman and a man are brothers.
I know.
Do you know So So?
You have scrapes on your hands.
By any chance,
did you go to Mujeong Temple?
Yes.
I went together with Prince Wang Wook.
You should've put on a spider's web.
A spider's web is a good medicine for a wound.
Yes.
You were with him.
The one who treated him was you.
She's trying to find out about So So
from me.
