[This is a fictional story based on actual historical figures and events]
So... you believe In Yub should go?
It's not that. It's just that... I've been with this house longer.
What you say is valid.
Then... In Yub, do you have anything to say?
I...
I believe this is an injustice.
What did you just say?
Becoming a surrogate?
That is not something a human being can do.
A human being, you say?
Dan Ji cannot go because she feels it is unfair.
In Yub cannot go because she feels it is unjust.
What am I to do?
I have already promised to send someone.
I cannot break that promise.
I'm sure these girls have a lot to consider.
Why don't you give them a deadline to come to a decision?
Very well. I will give you one day.
If there is no decision by then...
you will both be going.
Episode 9
You horrible wenches! What? You say you didn't do anything wrong?
Everyone ended up getting caught up in this mess.
We have to stick together.
This isn't just wrong. It is a great injustice.
You're right. And they're trying to make us turn on each other.
Who in their right mind would volunteer to be a surrogate?
But they say one person must go.
Are you saying my Miss should go?
I didn't say that.
All I said is that one person must go.
That's the same thing!
Then...
Is there a way we can both stay?
Or... are you saying I should go?
Let's think realistically.
In the end, it's better if just one person goes.
Dan Ji!
One of the two must go, you say?
The servants must determine which of the two will go.
What will you do if it is, Miss In Yub?
Sa Wol is so worried right now.
It is In Yub who must go.
Should it not be In Yub who leaves?
If Dan Ji were to leave, In Yub wouldn't survive with the girls left behind.
Dan Ji's mother worked herself to the bone.
If Dan Ji gets sent out, the heavens would punish her.
- The Lady or In Yub? - Both of them.
Then if In Yub leaves, Dan Ji will be punished by the heavens, too?
No, that won't happen.
Our Head Servant won't just sit back and let it happen.
In Yub was betrothed to him.
He won't let her be sold off as a surrogate.
Moo Myung, are you going to do anything? What are you planning?
What is it? Move.
Do not get pushed into anything.
You choose your own path.
Even though others pressure you, do not give in.
Hold firm, and stand your ground.
If you don't get stronger, you will never stop your free fall.
Who are you?
We're from the Finance Minister's house. Is the Governor inside?
Sell her to me.
Where are the drinks?
So...
Who did you say you were again?
The Finance Minister's son?
Though she is just a mere servant now
at one point, she was a woman I had wed.
She had been chosen as a daughter-in-law by the Finance Minister's household.
Then she is a great candidate to be a surrogate.
I have more than enough money.
I am surrounded by many rare beauties who tend to me and flatter me.
However, it is quite mysterious... I have no heir to pass all of this to.
That woman cannot become yours, Elder.
Because she is already my woman.
That does not matter to me.
What I want is a son.
Not a woman.
Go on now.
I apologize for the great inconvenience.
I'll be back... very soon.
Next time, I will bring a rare alcohol and share that drink with you.
I'm looking forward to it.
A surrogate?
- This is like being hit by lightning. - Please do something.
I want to stop it, of course!
But my mother is ruling with an iron fist.
And my wife is throwing a fit.
If I can sell myself in her place, please allow me to.
- Dduk Swe? - Yes?
Why would you sell yourself in her place?
Do you, by chance...
Oh, no wonder!
You seemed to be too panicked and sad about this predicament.
If one doesn't step forward in a moment like this...
then one cannot call oneself a man.
Then why don't you give it a go? Aren't you a man?
- Master! - What?
Master, are you truly okay with Dan Ji leaving this house?
Can you live without Dan Ji?
Are you crazy? Why can't you decide who will leave?
Obviously, In Yub should go.
She should offer herself up instead of making us pick her.
Choose by picking a lot.
That's leaving it up to luck.
I'll say it again, pick a lot.
I will create your luck.
Are you going to do what Miss Yoon Ok said?
'Creating luck'... that thing?
This is driving me crazy.
What is going on in that head of hers?
She can't possibly think I'll be going and she'll be staying, right?
She has barely been here at all.
She can't tell the difference between soy bean paste and crap.
The thing is... one must die, in order for the other to live.
I guess.
I can't sacrifice my life just to save her.
Let's do it.
If we're going to do it, you better do it properly.
What?
That's very original.
You know who has to leave this house, don't you?
In Yub.
Oh right... For you, it's Dan Ji.
Then...
Everything is in your hands.
Here.
There you go.
If you get rid of Dan Ji...
I'll talk to Mother and get you married.
Dduk Swe's not bad.
Ba Woo is handsome enough, as well.
But, if In Yub is chosen...
I'm going to tell Mother that you manipulated the whole thing.
Do you understand?
All right everyone!
There are two types of letters in here.
If you choose the 'Bool' character, you're going to the surrogate house.
'Gah.'
If you choose the 'Gah' character, you stay in this house.
These two characters are in here.
Now, let's start.
Who wants to pick first?
Who else? If you go by history here... it's our Dan Ji.
Be quiet, Mom.
What do you mean? What if she picks the 'Gah'?
Miss! You should go first, Miss. Pick the square one.
Go ahead! In Yub, you pick first.
At this rate, we'll be up all night.
It's a random lottery. Just pick already.
Yeah, pick already.
Give it to her.
Excuse me! What are you doing?
I was suddenly feeling hungry.
Mother!
Why are you chewing on a piece of paper?
- Are you hungry? Really? - Yes.
Oh my! I didn't get to see what it said on it either.
Are you kidding right now?
She picked the one where you have to go, so she just ate it up.
No, I really didn't see.
So, this one doesn't count. We'll do it again.
That doesn't make any sense!
We can check the remaining piece.
If the remaining paper is a 'Gah', then you chose a 'Bool'.
If the paper is a 'Bool', then the first one chosen was a 'Gah'.
That works.
Like In Yub says, we'll confirm it with the last piece... fair and square.
Hey!
Did you put in two 'Bool' papers and purposely tell my Miss to pick first?
What? Fair and square?
Can you prove that?
Did you see which character my mother chose?
If I'm wrong, why did she eat it?
You all saw it, didn't you? I know you all saw it!
I saw it.
'Bool' character... the one for leaving.
Yeah, okay. They both had 'Bool' written on them. So what?
Now... why do you think I went and did something like that?
In Yub, you need to grow a conscience.
Do you really think you can live here in comfort if you send me off?
This whole mess... is all Master Eun Ki's fault!
Didn't Master Yoon Seo interfere, as well?
And that's not what's important here.
You went behind our backs and did manipulative, dirty deeds.
You conniving wench!
Why you little... You're so rude!
What do you think you're all doing?
Look at the whole lot of you.
Unless you both want to get kicked out, pull yourselves together.
Is that the master's dog I hear barking?
When a cat is thinking about a mouse, it's only because it's hungry.
Who are you planning on killing now?
He's right.
I don't think this is a matter for you to interfere in, Moo Myung.
Is it really true? Did you do something to Ok Yi?
We never thought you would go that far.
Regarding In Yub and Dan Ji, aren't you going to take any action?
If you leave things be, one of them will have to go.
The one who will have to go has already been determined.
Once she's out of this house...
that girl will be eliminated.
This was decided long ago.
Timing was the only issue.
- But... - Chi Bok will take care of it.
This is out of your hands.
I understand.
Have you made a plan?
I have prepared the... sedan chair.
Are you saying you want to leave In Yub in my house?
I will soon find another place she can hide.
Hide her for me until then.
If you do this for me, I'll be indebted to you for life.
If it were any other favor, I'd do it for you but...
In Yub is a daughter of a traitor.
Well... can I give you a word of advice?
The feelings you have for In Yub?
Forget them all.
Speaking frankly... sleeping with a maid is easy as pie.
You think she's still a virgin?
What did you say?
Hey! Whoa whoa!
You know what?
If you really can't forget her, meet her once in a while for fun.
Why is a married man pining after some measly servant girl?
Stop embarrassing your fellow noblemen and come to your senses.
Guys like you who sleep with girls and never take responsibility
are the embarrassment to noblemen.
What good is it taking responsibility for a maid?
They're like cows and livestock. Their job is to create more babies.
To help increase my wealth.
What did you say? What did you just say?
You've lost your mind because of a maid.
- Stop it, would you! - He's an embarrassment to all noblemen!
What kind of behavior is this from future government officials?
This is a place where people come to enjoy themselves.
If you do not like your company, we can give you separate rooms.
Everyone sit down.
Would you like more to drink?
Forget it.
I'm tired of drinking.
I'm going back home now.
I sense that you're enduring some sort of hardship, Master.
Could I offer any aid?
I was looked down upon by my friends.
Is it your turn now?
Of course not.
- A courtesan like me? How could I? - That's right.
A courtesan like you couldn't possibly do anything to help me.
- Yong Choon. - Yeah?
Today is the day. Get it done today.
What?
Show me what you've got.
I said show me!
I'm not having any luck today.
I... got an eight.
I'm getting really lucky today.
I've been doing so well. What is this?
Gosh! I'm so angry!
What are you doing? Mix them up again.
I think I'm done for the day.
Lady, the bets are too small. I just can't be bothered anymore.
What is this?
You're not playing anymore, Poong Yi?
A long time ago, when I used to play at a gambling house
we played with our master's land deeds.
But, what is this? I'd rather play hacky sack.
Then... I guess I'll quit too.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
One round!
Let's do just one more round. Okay?
I still have some stuff... I do!
Wait! Wait one second.
Here. Look at this. I have lots.
Oh! I suddenly got a cramp in my leg...
Since I have a cramp, we'll do just one more round.
No, this can't be!
This... this... was just for fun.
Should we just stop right here?
Come on now, Lady!
We have to finish our transaction first.
- Come on. - I thought we were just playing a game!
A promise is a promise.
Maybe it's all fun for you, but for us we're betting our whole life savings.
That was my life savings too.
If you feel upset about it, we can play again tomorrow.
Don't you see that I have nothing left now?
You could always ask your in-laws, or you could borrow money.
Find a way to get the money.
We'll always be available for another game.
You two? You planned this, didn't you?
You two planned this out to con me, didn't you?
Lady, we've brought your chamber pot.
We have your snack, too... Oh my goodness!
What's going on in here?
Oh... it's nothing much.
Man, Lady Kang sure is dumb.
This all worked because of my speedy hands.
They looked a little shaky to me.
Isn't that Moo Myung?
It was quiet for a while, but I guess Lord Heo is at it again.
It's just something Lord Heo does.
It's cold.
Lord, you have a guest.
A guest? At this late hour?
It's been a very long time.
Is it time for you to give birth soon?
Weren't you curious about me at all?
Whether I was dead or alive?
Moo Myung must have saved your life.
If the Lady sees me, I do not know whether I'll live.
I wanted you to name the baby, so I risked my life.
Go back and return.
You knew it would not work, so why would you put yourself in danger?
- Lord? - Do you want to come back?
Even if you come back, your child will grow up a slave.
Everyone believes you to be dead.
Hide and live quietly.
You are very cruel.
Is this just any child? It is your bloodline, my lord.
The fate of that child is determined by who the mother is
not who the father is.
Though it is my child, it has the blood of a servant.
Throw away your greed.
That way, you can at least save your life.
Return.
What did you just say?
I will completely end things with Master Yoon Seo.
After that?
If you don't help save our Dan Ji, we said we'd tell on you to Lady Yoon.
Once she finds out you gambled away all the wedding jewels you received...
you know what will happen, don't you?
Why you little... really!
They're already very concerned about you because you have yet to conceive.
Hey!
What if I...
leave this house and go around freely meeting your husband?
Isn't that more of a pain for you, Lady?
You have big dreams for a surrogate, don't you?
Do you think he'd still want you?
Whether he does or not, you can wait and see.
This is insane. It really is.
Just because she leaves, it doesn't mean I can't see her.
Yes, yes... Wait! That's not right!
It's not like she's going as a maid.
What now?
I will... keep the promise I made.
Oh! You stink.
Are you drunk right now, or what?
Yes, I had a lot to drink.
Do you think I can handle this with a sober mind?
Regardless, I will keep my promise.
Dan Ji, that wench!
I will forgive her.
Are... are you serious, Wife?
You must promise not to meet with her ever again.
Then I will pretend it never happened.
I promise. I promise a hundred times, no, a thousand times.
Wife, thank you so much.
Please make sure to talk to Mother about this.
That should be your responsibility, Husband.
I had asked her to kill Dan Ji for having an affair with you.
You want me to go beg for her forgiveness now?
An affair...
You saw what happened the last time I tried to help her.
So, please. You must help out.
Then... you must take responsibility for me until I get pregnant.
Then I will consider it.
Pregnant.
You must promise me.
Of course, I promise.
Turn... turn... the light out.
That jerk!
You might break it.
Did you hear something outside?
I want to be born again.
Husband!
Hey, it'll get longer.
You're stretching it!
Ok Yi arrived home safely overnight.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, two lives were saved.
Why did you save that child's life?
Even though it was to be in the servant class, it is still your bloodline, my lord.
And that young life is innocent.
Yes.
Please keep an eye on them in the future.
Make sure she doesn't face difficulties in raising her child.
Yes, Lord.
This must have brought you some grief within the servants' quarters.
I'm thankful to you for many things.
Did you have a reason for bringing Ok Yi to me?
Tell me.
The Lady is selling In Yub and Dan Ji.
Dan Ji was born and raised in this house.
And did you not have your own reasons for keeping In Yub here?
Have you all decided which one of you will go?
I asked you, who has been chosen?
I will go.
You, In Yub?
Did you not give us the power to choose who would go?
Therefore...
I have decided to go.
That will do.
Then it has been decided. In Yub will go to Governor Jung's house.
Learn from this example, and reclaim order in the servants' quarters.
Yes, Lady.
It's me, Heo Yoon Seo.
What I did to keep you here and send In Yub...
You don't know what I had do to make that happen.
It was me, Heo Yoon Seo.
Playing hard to get.
Hey Dduk Swe, I am a man!
I am a man.
That rascal.
Hard to get.
Rascal...
Have you not left for work?
I hear you're putting our maids on the market!
I was very clear with you when I brought in In Yub.
I have my reasons for keeping her here, and I told you to watch her closely.
No matter how important your work is...
is it more important than the happiness of your only daughter?
I blame you for the faults of my son-in-law.
Cancel the transaction of the maids.
I cannot do that.
We are a household the King has visited.
The King is trusting me more and more.
If I cannot watch over the traitor's daughter like the King asked
how can I dare to see the King?
She is getting her due punishment.
You may be in charge of household matters
but I am the head of this household!
I make all final decisions.
You were nothing but a government worker and the son of a single mother.
- I made you who you are today. - How dare you speak to me that way!
You will not speak to your husband like that ever again!
I will not forgive you again!
The house you live in, the land it's on
who does this all belong to?
If my family withdraws all of this, do you even have a mat to sit on?
It was desolate land! Who turned it into a land of abundance?
If you want to take them away, then take them away.
How the landscape has changed.
Let's take a look, shall we?
I came to say goodbye, Miss.
Come inside.
I will disappear for you.
If you want to stay here, just say so.
Don't talk in circles.
What are you up to?
Please forget the ill fate we've had.
And please live happily with Master Eu Ki.
And... I have one last thing to say.
The servant family is not your toy to be played with.
They are simple people, who are just happy to live and eat everyday.
I know that you made life harder for them because of me.
If I go, that should all end.
So please, just leave them be.
I'm asking you.
Do you know why you're despicable?
It's this very thing.
If you're a maid wench, then act like a maid wench.
Who are you to act like my older sister?
Do you still think you're my friend?
Even though I've become a servant...
No matter how much you attack me...
somewhere deep down, my friendship for you is still there.
I know that you feel that way too.
You must be joking.
You do like him, don't you?
Try to make the person you like... truly happy.
Master?
Yes.
What are you doing here so early in the day?
Let's talk for a moment.
Come in, please.
If you have something to say, please go on and say it.
Help me.
Would you be all right with a courtesan like me?
Please help me.
First, let's have some tea.
Shouldn't you be helping her out right about now, Lord?
At one point, she was going to be our daughter-in-law.
If people hear she became a surrogate, people will say awful things about us.
I will take care of In Yub on my own.
People are really starting to talk.
Our Eun Ki is not adjusting well there, and his heart is not in it.
Let's forget about the whole agreement
and just bring him and Yoon Ok into our home.
We'll look for an opportunity to bring it up.
You promise?
The Lord's mood seems to be in disarray.
Moo Myung, is there anything you can tell me?
You are the person who serves him the most.
The King has been feeling very discontent.
Therefore, Lord Heo is always very anxious.
To confirm, Ok Yi has been taken care of, hasn't she?
Yes.
All right.
In Yub has been chosen to go to Governor Jung's household.
You will take her there.
Lady.
But, the Lord said...
The Lord may oversee the nation...
But, in the house, my orders are final.
Go on outside.
Go outside!
Let's see how long you can keep showing off for.
Lady.
It is me, Poong Yi. Are you inside?
What do you want?
I have something important to tell you.
What did you say?
Her stomach was as big as a mountain?
I followed her.
And you're sure you saw Moo Myung bring that girl in?
I'll take that. I'll take it.
Sa Wol.
Yes, Miss.
Listen to me very carefully.
I...
I'm going to go meet King Taejo in Ham Heung.
I have prepared the... sedan chair.
In Yub must disappear from Governor Jung's house.
They will have to bear the responsibility of her disappearance.
Watch over Moo Myung very carefully.
He may even hide her before the operation goes down.
Duk Goo was very certain when he told me.
My father received a secret mission from King Taejo.
Even the Defense Minister said so.
The only witness is King Taejo, in Ham Heung.
I'm going to meet the king and plead my case.
I'm very certain that you will return safely back home, Miss.
Of course I will.
So, I don't want to say goodbye.
Because you're going to come back.
Yes, I will.
Give it to me. I can do this.
You know what?
I didn't know back then.
I didn't know these chamber pots were so warm, even in the middle of winter.
All of you would hold it in your arms like this before putting it in my room.
I hadn't even thought of it.
Give it to me.
Stay healthy.
Why did you do it?
Why did you volunteer to go?
You told me to choose my own path.
Somebody had to go.
There could be dangers you're not aware of.
Everything is in order?
Let me go.
- What are you doing? - Let me leave.
I have something I need to do. I have somewhere I need to be.
Was this your plan?
Are you really going to turn me into a surrogate?
Just get inside.
My lord, I'm bringing in your food and drink.
What is this garbage?
I hear that you were previously married.
I have been married, but I have never been close to a man.
How is that?
My fortune says that I'm destined to get my father killed.
On the day of my wedding, my father was falsely arrested.
Everything became futile.
I have a fate of living a useless life. I'm already living my misfortune.
Because of me...
I am concerned that you will suffer some negative consequences.
Why...
didn't you just lacquer your entire body?
There was a girl who didn't bathe herself.
There was a girl who had a seizure.
There was a girl who cried and played dumb.
I've encountered all sorts of girls.
I have never seen one try to tell me she is cursed by the stars.
Your groom came by.
He wanted to buy you back.
Why is it that he's still alive?
He married a new woman.
That's why he is safe.
Then I wonder what our fate is.
Is my good luck enough to beat out the fire within you?
Let's test it out.
First... may I pour you a drink?
Even if I were to bear your child, it would be the blood of a traitor.
It would be difficult for the child to achieve glory.
Would that be all right?
If the defeated party becomes active again...
three generations of traitors get punished all over again.
All you need to do right now is service me in bed and have a son.
Do not do this.
I'm asking you, please.
If you let me go, I will remember this debt even in death.
I have served him the drugged alcohol.
- You can go back home now. - Will you be okay alone?
How dare you!
You dare to wave that weapon at me?
Please, let me go.
I won't forget this favor, so please...
Just let me go.
In Yub!
Stop right there!
Who are you? Who are you, and why have you taken In Yub?
Who ordered you to do this?
Speak right now!

All of you, remember this clearly.
I will ask.
We must... succeed.
This woman is coming with me.
Moving to the mountains should happen as soon as possible.
Does Moo Myung work for my father?
Even if I go to hell... At the very least, I will end your life!
In Yub has run away!
One of the traitors is at the Lord's house.
Beat him until he speaks!
- I could not kill her. - Why not?
I... do not know why.
