[Events depicted might differ from actual events.]
He didn't forget about that day in Gaebong,
about his bride from Gaebong.
Chung Ok, Ryung Hwa!
Where are you my pretties?
That mute hit me so hard.
He almost broke my neck.
I'm in.
Chung Ok, Ryung Hwa.
He said he got married twice.
So those must be his wives' names?
Then why does he have my jade pendant?
It's cold.
This is where the ledger must be.
I found it!
What are these?
Is there everything but the ledger in this storage?
Is it in here?
What are these?
It's too cold in here.
There were so many rooms available.
He's so inconsiderate.
Is there anything I can use as a blanket?
What's in here?
Why won't this open?
It's silk!
I can use these as a blanket!
My talisman!
That jerk.
Stop it.
I'll give you what you want, so stop it.
Oh no.
I'll give you everything in here, so stop it!
I found it!
I was scared to death.
I thought I lost it!
What are you doing standing there?
What?
What…
What does that mean to you
that you were looking so hard for it?
You mean this?
What does this mean to me?
Right.
It's a talisman that's been protecting me
for the past 5 years.
It's a treasure that I wouldn't trade,
even for everything in here.
A treasure.
I made a mess.
What should I do?
I don't have any money,
so can I work here to pay you back?
Gaebong, I'll do whatever you ask me.
Will that work?
You're so heartless.
You must pay for it.
You must pay for everything you broke!
[Shine or Go Crazy]
For five days?
You're going to teach him about the trading company,
And you'll make him take the promotion exam?
[Episode 5]
Why would you do that?
What is he going to learn in 5 days?
That's very difficult!
And everyone will be preparing for the exam,
so it'll be hectic.
If I teach him well, he could take the first level exam.
Then he could work for other trading companies.
It'll help support his family, won't it?
That's true.
Why would you teach him and send him elsewhere?
- You should just keep him here. - That's true, too.
Seriously?
Promise me
that you'll never let him work here.
I promise.
- It's only for 5 days! - Only for 5 days.
It's nice that you're teaching him.
But I need to know why you're doing this.
- Why I'm doing this? - Yes, why?
Do you still think he's your groom?
Do you want to be his third wife?
That's not it.
He still has the jade pendant that I gave him.
I'm happy with that.
Then why are you doing this?
The person who saved me
is still in the same state as he was 5 years ago.
I want him to put down his sword.
Then won't his fate change a little?
So you want to
pay him back for what he did for you?
Then that's fine.
You're going to teach him well for 5 days,
then you'll let him go with plenty of silver coins.
You're ending your relationship with him like that.
Okay?
Yeah.
I'm going to teach him well and let him go.
One day?
No, two days?
It's a whopping 5 days.
I'm going to learn about trades for 5 days.
The ledger must be in the head's office.
I'll get it no matter what.
I did all sorts of things to get in here.
I'm talking about me!
- What is it? - It's nothing.
You look like you're having fun.
Yeah, right, I have so much to do.
Oh, what happened to Hong Gyu Ui and Baek Choong Hyung?
Hong Gyu Ui is suspicious.
I'm going to follow his movements.
The leech!
The leech, I mean Gil Bok!
Your Highness?
I can obviously see you.
I know the capital like the palm of my hand
because I've been looking for you everywhere.
Whether you've run off to here or there,
it's all in the palm of my hand.
You didn't go home last night again, did you?
I was tired, so I slept in one of these rooms
after I had a few drinks.
Why?
Who did you drink with?
Did you drink with the guy who just ran away?
Who is he?
What do you mean?
He's just a friend.
He's the guy you met in Byuklando one morning, right?
That's him, isn't he?
I'm your master.
Do I have to report everything to you?
You're crazy!
Take it.
Go to the Hwang family,
and be the guard to my niece, Princess Yeon Won.
Report everything that is happening there to me secretly.
Aren't these flowers pretty?
But there's poison in these roots.
In the Hwang family, I'm like these roots.
Even if it's a pretty flower,
the roots protect its life.
And your duty is to protect the roots.
You've wielded the sword for a long time.
You're my shadow from now on.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Even if you go back to working for my uncle,
and we're separated,
you'll always be my shadow.
That day, whose portrait was my uncle observing?
It was the King's portrait.
My uncle was observing the King's portrait?
At that hour?
He needed to confirm something.
He also confirmed my brother's whereabouts
on the day of the Buddhist ceremony.
On that day, Kim Jong Sik was murdered.
Is he looking for Kim Jong Sik's murderer?
Yes.
The leader of the men who killed Kim Jong Sik,
is one of the late King's sons.
A prince became the leader of the thieves?
Who do you think it is?
How is your husband doing these days?
He's not here.
Where is Gil Bok?
You're going to learn at the trading company for 5 days?
I said it was a secret!
Why?
You're a prince.
Why would you want to be trained there?
Hey.
Like you said, I don't know when I'll be divorced.
But learning about trades could benefit me later.
You're asking me to believe that?
- Then I'll go with you. - That's ridiculous!
Hey, they don't know I'm one of the royal family.
But if I take you with me,
you'll just let everything slip and make a mess.
You can't even go near Chunghae Trading Company.
- Understand? - Then,
what if the Princess asks you where you went?
Should I tell her that you're going to earn money
just in case of a divorce?
Yeah, tell her that.
What?
Look into my eyes.
Look at what?
- Tell me, Your Highness. - Tell you what?
You're doing something I don't know about, aren't you?
You're so clever.
Come closer.
Not.
Oh my!
There has to be something.
This is driving me crazy!
What is this?
Why am I getting chills before I go in?
Am I just nervous?
He is the head of Chunghae Trading Company.
I'm Yang Gyu Dal.
Good to see you, buddy.
I'm So So.
"Good to see you, buddy. I'm So So?"
Be more polite to your boss.
My name is So So, sir.
Okay.
I'm Baek Myo.
I'm Gang Myeong.
I know you both well.
And that's…
Yeah, I know him!
Isn't he the mute that was with you at Gaebong?
He's the mute warrior.
And I'm not Gaebong, but the supervisor.
And in here, he's in a higher position than you.
Okay.
Fine, fine.
Supervisor Gaebong has especially requested
that we train you for 5 days.
So don't be lazy and work hard.
Got it?
I got it.
I understand, Ma'am.
Follow me.
Hey, Gaebong.
Why are you being so scary?
When you're working, don't call me Gaebong,
but Mr. Supervisor.
What do you mean, Mr. Supervisor?
Why does he behave like that?
He acts like a woman.
Gaebong, wait for me!
Yool can be really tough.
So So, you're really in for it!
Take a break.
What should we do?
He'll find out soon that she's not a man.
Well, it's odd that he hasn't found out yet.
Seriously?
What if he finds out?
He'll find out that she's his bride from Gaebong,
and he'll take over the trading company!
Think about it, Gang Myeong.
- Was this my idea? - Shut up!
Baek Myo!
This is where we display our goods and sell them.
Individuals will buy a few things,
but most of our customers are middlemen
who buy them in bulk and resell them.
Of course, there are many foreign buyers as well.
Wow, there are so many interesting things!
What is this?
But if you have to manage everything in here,
you must write the ledgers well.
Every little detail is written in the ledger.
If you look at the ledger,
you can see what goods were sold on each day,
by whom, at what price and for what purpose.
Then the storage closet here is a magic closet,
and the ledger is a magical ledger!
Does the head manage all of these?
The head is busy, so the assistant head does.
The assistant head?
The assistant head.
Gaebong!
Wow!
This is the VIP room to serve our best customers.
We display and sell the most valuable goods
from all over the world.
Wow, this is the real treasure room!
So many interesting things!
I've never seen this!
What is this?
I've never seen…
What?
You need to earn the right to touch these goods
by passing the promotion exam.
So only look with your eyes.
Fine!
But Gaebong, can I learn how to manage ledgers?
I'll see how you do, and I'll teach you.
Okay.
I need to learn how to do that.
That way I can pretend to know something in other places.
But where is the assistant head?
He went to China.
China?
So the assistant head isn't here right now?
This is the inn.
The first floor is where the customers eat and drink.
The rooms are on the second floor.
Follow me.
Okay.
Ta-da!
Wow, this is a big room!
I can just lay here
and open and close the door with my foot!
Take off your pack, and follow me at once.
Okay, I'll take off my pack and rest a little bit.
What?
You only have 5 days to learn.
What time do you have to rest?
Hey!
If you want to trade goods,
you need to know the value of the goods
and you need to measure their importance.
Put the goods in order of highest to lowest value.
Fine, I'll try.
Silk is first, and ginseng should be second.
The brush is third.
This pin.
The fifth.
this is the sixth, and the last is rice!
You're wrong.
As punishment, move those boxes over here.
Why do I need to move them?
- Move them since you were wrong! - Hey!
Let's just move on, if I'm mostly correct.
Why so extreme?
Your first and last duty is to move
and protect the goods.
No matter how heavy and difficult it is,
you must do this in happy spirit.
I'm so happy, seriously.
Again.
Seriously.
The silk.
Again!
Again.
This one.
Again!
*Hyung.
[Hyung: Older brother or older male.]
Hyung, please help me.
Move the third to first, and the fourth to the last.
How is it?
You pass.
I passed!
What, is that it?
We're going to learn how to handle pirates or bandits
when you're delivering goods.
Pirates are more dangerous than bandits.
Why?
- Why do you think that is? - Oh, my neck.
- Since it's the “Blue Sea” Company! - You idiot.
[Chunghae means “blue sea.”]
It's because you have nowhere to run on water!
Your only way out is to fight them!
Gyeong, you'll be the pirate,
and So So you'll protect the goods.
Try harder.
The pirates are on the boat!
Stop them!
You mute.
You'll die by my hands today!
Oh man.
Bring it on, mute!
I can't breathe!
How has he been able to earn any money like that?
You mute jerk!
Where is His Highness?
His Highness?
I don't know.
He's all over the place,
so I can't keep track of him.
That's a problem.
The Princess has something to tell him.
Is there no other way?
There should be some way.
I'll try to find him.
Your Highness!
- Your Highness! - Hey!
I told you not to come here!
Why are you here?
The Hwang family is holding a big event soon
and the Princess wanted to tell you something.
What is this?
You're becoming more like a bum.
I'll tell her I'll be there soon.
- You should go tonight, at least. - Okay, okay.
But are you really okay?
I'm doing just fine!
Go away!
- Yes, Your Highness. - Hurry up!
Oh man.
Gaebong, Gaebong!
Isn't that Gaebong?
That jerk.
That mean jerk!
Isn't this a bath?
I'm the one who broke a sweat,
and he's taking a bath, that jerk.
I want to take a bath too.
I'm so tired.
But is he really a man?
Could he be a woman?
Should I check?
Just one look.
I can't see anything.
You should've showed him clearly, right?
Okay, good job.
Go eat.
- You're here? - Hi.
I can wear these clothes for a few more days.
No way.
Even if it's in men's clothing,
you have to dress clean.
He's probably regretting learning about trades.
He'll probably pack his bag and leave tonight.
If he doesn't run away, then he's stupid.
I don't know.
He seems to be persistent.
Yeah, right.
No, I like him.
Look at him persisting until the end, that's talent!
But, Yool.
Aren't you being a bit too cruel?
I have to treat him this way to get his life back on track.
I'm going to die
before I find the ledger.
The assistant head's room must be empty right now.
It's them again!
They're back again!
I'm going to fall ill like this.
I came here to learn about trades,
and I'm going to leave with nothing!
What brings you here?
You should put this on.
What is it?
What is this?
Didn't you fall before?
It's for your back.
Hey, hey!
Where are you going? You should put it on for me!
My back's killing me already.
What?
Hey, I don't have arms like an octopus.
How am I supposed to apply this on my back?
You need to do it for me.
Here, come here.
Come here.
Come here!
Sit here.
Here we go.
Put it on.
You should heat the room, it's so cold!
What are you doing?
A bit lower.
A bit higher!
Why are you so extreme?
You can't even do this well!
You!
You still have a lot to learn.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
Anyway, Gaebong.
My thighs are bruised.
- Oh no! - Hey!
Where are you going?
We'll have breakfast together at the inn tomorrow.
Memorize this by then.
What is this?
Hey, where are you going?
You have to put this on for me!
I almost died of hypothermia.
The same statement of exchange
should be in the assistant head's room.
Anyway, what does this mean?
Maru apan, nama sudae.
It sounds like a spell.
What does this mean?
This is hard.
This is my method.
The throne will be available soon,
so be prepared.
I have something to ask of you.
What is it?
Since I offered you such a method,
you should give me a gift.
Of course I should.
What kind of gift do you want?
The exclusive rights to salt.
Of course, I'll share the profit equally with you.
You're trying to solve a difficult problem.
Where does the ginseng go?
I know.
Oh, you do?
Okay, carry on.
What are you looking at?
Is that an adult novel?
Stop.
What are you doing here?
What would you like, my precious wife?
An ornament, silk, hairpin?
There's nothing you can't find in Chunghae Trading Company.
But what are you doing here?
I came here to buy an ornament.
Is that so?
I'm just looking around here.
It's been so boring at the bar, so I got sick of it.
The Chunghae Trading Company is very fun.
There are many interesting things.
And they don't even know that I'm one of the royal family here.
I'm doing role play right now.
So I'm thinking of staying here for a few more days.
Is Chunghae Trading Company your playground
or are there toys in the trading company?
Welcome, Princess!
I couldn't properly thank you at the Buddhist ceremony.
What is it that you need?
I'll give them to you as a gift.
I'll be going.
Why don't you choose one?
I should?
Which ornament would suit me?
Choose one for me.
Well then.
You idiot!
Please kill me!
This is high quality.
I'll take this.
This is a gift.
Goodbye!
I wonder what it would be like to live with her.
What are you looking at?
I was just listening.
Welcome, Your Highness.
Is the assistant head here?
Of course.
Follow me, this way.
This way.
She got me confused.
The Indian merchant we're meeting today
is the cousin of the influential General Matraka.
There's information that the successor to General Matraka
is encouraging the trade policy.
And the ginseng from Korea is being recognized in Rome,
so the cost of ginseng might rise.
Why do you think I'm telling you all this?
What do you see me as?
This information can make you more profitable.
Anyone's future is foggy.
It's the same for a merchant who sells goods,
and a King who governs a nation.
The one who finds his way…
is the one who has most information.
You're wrong.
It's the one who can connect the information given.
it's the one who can connect this and that,
and analyze new information.
The future opens its doors to those people.
The future opens its doors for me.
That's a wonderfully great thing to say!
What is in that small head of yours
that you can come up with that?
I want to touch your head.
What's in here?
Did you just hit me?
Did you hit me?
You jerk!
Stop it.
Stop it!
I will!
Stop it!
Are you crazy?
Namaste.
What are you talking about?
Are my bones broken?
The Prince is here.
What about my brother?
Stand up.
Memorize this until I come back.
Gaebong, don't go!
If you do that again,
I'll make your legs useless.
Got it?
Yes, Ma'am.
Don't “Namaste” me.
That woman...
But why do I feel like this happened before?
The Prince?
Who is it?
The Prince is here.
Prince Wang Wook.
The one who didn't buy anything
after I explained everything in the VIP room?
Can't I just meet him like this?
Of course not!
You can't present yourself like this to the Prince!
Wait, wait.
You're pretty.
All good.
The assistant head is here, Your Highness.
You must see the difference between the royal family
and that swordsman.
You must feel it.
You must forget about childish feelings, Princess.
This is…
The shoe was calling out for its owner.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I'll give something to you in return.
Something in return?
This is the tea brewed from the bellflower you gave me that day.
- You're so unpredictable. - Pardon?
It's nothing.
How is it?
I'll need to drink more.
I was so busy that day that I didn't buy anything
after hearing all of the explanation of the goods.
Didn't you resent me?
I let it go when I saw the shoe.
I'm glad I brought it with me.
I'm here to buy the goods that I saw the other day.
I didn't hear the explanation about this plate.
Is that so?
Can you tell me about it?
The person who made this plate
was a recognized craftsman in Arabia.
He had a beautiful wife,
but her beauty was her downfall.
The King stole the craftsman's wife.
The craftsman's wife went with the King
in order to protect her husband.
And later, she took her own life.
When the craftsman heard this news,
he started making plates,
for they were his wife's favorite,
and in all his plates, he wrote this.
“I love you forever.”
Is that what it means in Arabic?
Yes.
There was a reason I was attracted to this plate.
The craftsman put a spell on his plates.
That if someone expels his sorrow onto this plate,
the plate will carry it and make it disappear.
Do you want to try?
The mute isn't here, and neither is Gaebong.
Yang Gyu Dal and the duo aren't here either.
That's me.
I was so surprised.
This must be the assistant head's room.
It's so hot.
How could there be four heaters?
Anyway, this is the assistant head's room.
Where can I find the ledger?
It must be over there!
There's so much in here.
Where are you, ledger?
I know what you look like,
but I can't see you and it's making me dizzy.
You were in here, ledger.
There was a woman I used to love.
I gave her my heart
and I was given her heart.
Through a royal marriage,
that woman became
the wife to my father,
the King.
And then she took her own life.
At the place
where we spent our moments together.
Just now,
it all disappeared.
Ledger, if you're not here,
where must I find you?
It's so hot.
Of course it's not here.
What is this?
It's from Kim Jong Sik.
It bothered me how he looked at it as he died.
It's similar.
I need to take it and make sure.
Darn it.
Gagebong, why are you so late?
What are you doing here?
You thief.
A thief?
Gaebong told me to meet him here,
and I've been waiting for a long time!
What?
What did you steal?
- What exactly did you steal? - I didn't steal anything!
Why is this here?
I swear to this plate
that I won't lose my lover again.
Yes, I hope so too.
I'll pray for you, Your Highness.
Don't forget what you said.
Let me go, you jerks!
Get me Gaebong.
Gaebong!
What happened?
So So stole your things.
We caught him stealing from your room.
I'll be right there.
Gaebong, Gaebong!
Please tell these people!
I'm not a thief!
Tell them I'm not a thief!
Then why did you go into the assistant head's room?
I thought that was Gaebong's room,
so I went in looking for him!
I had no idea it was the assistant head's room.
You stole the mirror.
That was…
I was thinking about my wife who has no mirror.
The mirror stole me, I didn't steal the mirror.
Chunghae Trading Company doesn't tolerate anyone
- who steals even one grain of rice. - Mr. Yang Gyu Dal!
You stole something else too, didn't you?
- Tell me! - I really didn't steal anything.
Search him.
Gaebong!
Go away!
Where do you think you're touching?
You jerk!
Oh my.
I picked that up from the streets not long ago.
It had the Chunghae Trading Company seal,
so I was going to give it to you, but I forgot.
Why was that there?
We didn't issue this.
- What? - It's a fake bill of exchange.
They sold these low quality vases
that weren't supposed to be sold.
Please bring me the person in charge of the vases.
Okay.
- You did it, didn't you? - Look up.
These low quality vases were not for sale.
Seven are missing right now.
To whom, and for how much, did you sell them?
They must be collected again.
- Tell us. - Tell us quickly!
The person who bought them is dead.
He died?
It was Kim Jong Sik, he was murdered not long ago.
I sold them for 3,000 silver coins.
I'm sorry!
I know two of them went to Kim Jong Sik.
But what about the other five?
She's asking you about the other five!
Hong Gyu Ui, Baek Choong Hyung,
Yoo Mok Won, and
Yoo Gwon Yool and Hwang Go Jae.
Those are the five people.
The biggest crime committed in this trading company
is selling what isn't for sale.
Leave the company immediately.
Sir.
I won't ever do it again!
Please forgive me this once!
I won't ever do it again!
Please forgive me!
Please forgive me, sir!
That was a fine vase!
Hey!
Even if defects aren't visible,
our company doesn't sell it.
Please find the five men and pay them back
- for the price of the vases. - Okay.
Collect the money that he received,
but give him a year's worth of pay.
Okay.
Why a year's worth of pay?
If I don't give him that,
he might become a real thief.
If it costs a year's worth of pay
to stop one thief, that's a cheap price to pay.
Okay, that is cheap.
You're right, Gae Bong.
Worry about yourself.
You'll be kicked out soon too.
Why would I be?
I discovered a fake exchange!
Then is your crime for stealing the mirror
going to disappear?
His contributions are greater than his trespasses,
since we caught the real thief.
Of course. We need to do the right calculations.
I committed this crime for my wife
without even thinking about it.
Please forgive me.
I won't ever do it again, Gaebong.
Take it to your wife.
It's a gift.
The assistant head will understand.
Thank you, Gaebong.
Thank you very much.
I'm ending this incident here.
Pull yourself together for the next four days.
Okay, don't worry.
Don't worry, Gaebong.
So what happened?
So when the girl looks at me,
she gives me a little peek.
You animal!
We're going there together!
We have to go!
We can be like brothers!
What's so funny?
Gaebong!
You're here?
It was a tiring day for me, too.
Pour me a drink.
You pour him a drink, So.
He's a heavy drinker.
Yeah, right.
His drinking habits were very interesting.
I wouldn't say he's a heavy drinker.
Please take the mirror to your wife.
Okay, you jerk.
It's not even yours.
You must take it to her.
I said okay!
I understand, my ears are going to get callouses.
He said he understood.
There's no more.
Oh, hey, hey!
Anyway, that mute.
Tell him to sit down.
He's making me uncomfortable.
He's most comfortable that way.
- He's sleeping like that. - He's sleeping?
Is he dreaming?
Hey, Shin…
Gaebong.
Yes, sir.
Can't you let So So work in our trading company?
No, no.
I'm so busy and have a lot to do, so I can't.
You scared me!
Hey, you jerk!
There's no place in Goryeo that will take care of you
- like our company! - I know.
I'm saying this because I like you.
Keep working here,
then I'll…
My sister, the assistant head, is on a business trip.
I'll introduce you to my sister.
You're married, right?
No way.
Gyeong, he's drunk.
- Please take him inside. - I'm not drunk.
Hey, wait.
My sister got married 5 years ago, too.
Gyeong!
Hey, you should meet my sister!
He's drunk, all right.
Have you seen her?
Who?
Mr. Yang's younger sister.
Of course I've seen her.
She's a beauty and and has a great personality.
She's fluent in Chinese, Indian, and Roman.
And she's so good at arithmetic.
She's probably the best in the trading business.
Well, she's probably not as good as you.
Did you just compliment me?
Yeah, you jerk.
