[This is a fictional story based on actual historical figures and events]
I'm the only child of the Gook family, a founding member of the Joseon Dynasty.
Gook Yoo, you're convicted of treason!
Come forward to receive your punishment.
In Yub!
This was found at Man Wol's secret hideout in the mountains.
Your name was written on it, Lord.
You must live. You must live, In Yub!
Am I to stay at the Defense Minister's household?
Make her into a real maid.
You may have to treat her two or three times as bad as the rest.
Please just kill me!
Before I really do kill you, go back to where you belong.
Are you people even human?
You will come to realize that your fate... is as a maid.
Speak now!
Why did you falsely accuse my father?
You can't die now!
The father of your betrothed knows that I am innocent.
- Miss! Miss! - Sa Wol!
I will not force you.
The choice is yours.
Your fate and mine... ends here.
In Yub will go to Governor Jung's house.
Kill her.
Please let me go!
Disperse as early as possible and as soon as he's done the job...
eliminate him, without delay.
Does Moo Myung work for my father?
Were you part of Man Wol?
This woman is coming with me.
My enemy was right in front me and I had no idea.
Even if I go to hell... At the very least, I will end your life!
'The father of your betrothed knows that I am innocent.'
My betrothed at the time was the son of the Finance Minister...
and I believe he knew that my father was innocent.
Then...
are you saying that the Finance Minister framed your father?
Do you even realize what you're saying?
Speaking so freely in front of the King not only puts you in danger
but everyone you mention in danger, as well.
I understand you feel injustice.
But this alone is insufficient evidence.
If you give me time, I can find more.
Because one of the traitors...
is in your house, Lord.
It's not enough to accuse the Finance Minister
now you point your finger at me?
This traitor that you speak of...
Who is it?
He asked you a question!
I do not know anything beyond this.
When I was taken, I overheard the perpetrators talking.
How are we to believe your words?
My father is not a traitor!
King Taejo of Ham Heung gave him secret orders.
Orders to find the real traitors hiding in Joseon.
How dare you speak my father's name so freely!
Accusations that cannot be proven...
will not be forgiven.
I promise you... I will prove it.
And if you can't?
I will...
give up my life.
Sire, please consider my bleeding heart
and allow this daughter to prove her father's innocence.
I merely ask...
for a chance to prove my father's innocence.
What's going on right now? Episode 11
The King is here.
In Yub is speaking to him inside.
What?
Are you a part of Man Wol?
Hey now.
Pay your respects. Lower your gaze.
Are you leaving so early?
I have yet to serve you drinks.
I did not come for entertainment today.
I promise to meet with you on another day.
Wait here a moment.
Find out the truth as soon as possible.
Yes, Your Highness.
You must find the traitor in your home.
Also, find out how this all connects to the Finance Minister.
It could just be a desperate final attempt by a doomed maid.
I will find out the truth.
You will have to be very thorough.
If you want to avoid punishment for harboring a traitor in your house...
there must be no further errors.
Yes, Your Highness.
I don't know what happened, but he saved your life!
- How could you... - Don't interfere.
Lord...
Are you trying to kill off my family as well?
A traitor in my house?
How dare you speak so freely!
Alright... so who is this traitor?
Who is this traitor that you speak of?
At this point, I can only guess.
As I said to the King, it is not just the one.
There are many others that are hiding.
I will find them all and bring them to you, Lord.
This issue is no longer a matter that concerns just you.
Next time you see the King, if you cannot provide proof...
I will behead you with my own hands.
How this girl ended up here...
I will continue that discussion another time.
Bring her.
Father.
Who exactly are you, Father?
I saw you in the mountain hideout.
What were you doing in a place like that?
Can you handle my answer?
Is it something I can live my life without knowing?
If you do not have the strength to bear the burden of the truth...
you must not ask so carelessly.
Hiding...
It was all we, the living descendants of Koryo's Royal Family, could do.
It was the only way to survive.
Why didn't you tell me to start with?
If we succeed, you're royalty. If we fail, we are traitors.
Whatever happens...
The failure must be all mine.
Only success will be my inheritance to you.
However, it hasn't been decided whether I'll succeed or fail.
Do you really think it's possible?
Give it all up.
What has made you so greedy?
In front of my very eyes, my brothers and parents...
were attacked by the enemy on a burning boat at sea.
It was Yi Bang Won, that man.
He annihilated 500 men on the seas.
You wouldn't understand.
The desperate cries of the royal family pleading for their lives.
The blood of my dying family.
I cannot forget for even one moment.
What should I do now?
You've raised me as a son of Joseon.
Now, where should I go?
Turn my back on you and throw away my home country?
Why would I want to stand on this land I'm standing on?
Do not worry.
All you need to do... is stay alive.
I'll make sure you do.
You've brought In Yub?
She was taken by traitors and tortured.
Do you expect me to believe that?
The King has given a royal command to keep her in our home for now.
You may as well forget about getting rid of her.
A royal command?
You disregard my orders.
Are you planning to do the same with the King's orders?
Lord!
Why don't you tell me first?
Tell me what I want to know.
What do you want to know?
What's your relationship with the Finance Minister?
And does it have something to do with the fact you're in Man Wol?
During my wedding and my father's death, you were there for all of it.
You know just how much of a low point it was in my life.
Answer me.
To you, your revenge may be everything, but it is not the same for me.
I don't care about that.
Be thankful that I saved your life.
Because of you, I...
If you want to kill me, go ahead.
If you're going to report me to the authorities or the King, go ahead.
I want to make a deal.
That's the reason I said nothing in the presence of the King.
Are you almost done?
There are water marks here.
Rinse it thoroughly. Wipe harder.
Let's see here.
Gae Ddong, you did a good job.
Oh my goodness! Oh my!
Miss!
Miss! Miss!
Miss, Miss, Miss!
Miss!
Miss, are you okay?
Are you back now?
What's with you? You leave voluntarily.
Now, you return of your own volition?
Did they agree to take you in?
Yes.
Just yesterday, they were throwing a fit telling us to find you.
Look! Look at this.
No wonder you couldn't find me.
That doesn't look anything like me.
Even if you're back, I won't be a surrogate. I can't!
If they tell me to go instead, I'm going to run away too.
That will never happen.
Lord Heo promised, so don't worry.
Come inside.
Let's go, let's go.
Dan Ji, you're safe!
Miss, Miss!
This is Ok Yi.
Well... you've heard of her, right?
Do you mean the one... Moo Myung?
Moo Myung never killed her.
He was actually keeping her safe all this time.
How is Moo Myung? Is he okay?
He was punished because of me.
Did something happen?
It was discovered that he kept me alive.
He was beaten very badly.
What kind of person is he... exactly?
On the outside, he comes off as cold and distant.
But his kindness runs deep.
If it weren't for Moo Myung, I would be dead right now.
Before meeting the King...
they are looking for evidence of the State Councilor's innocence.
We should carry out our plan on the day the King is to meet her.
Once everything is prepared, we should bait the King
and get the King to leave the palace.
That's a dangerous plan.
Do you want to go through all that, just to save In Yub?
Rather than In Yub...
I want to save you.
The task is priority.
Oh, this is true art!
If I had only been born into the middle class...
I could have attended an art school and become a great artist.
But I had to be born a nobleman
and study this nonsense that I have no talent in.
Wow, this is art.
I'm about to get goosebumps.
I'm so proud of myself.
Husband.
Husband, are you in there?
Is he out?
Oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
What is this?
Did she take it all?
Everything I've saved for 25 years.
Lady...
How's this? This is enough, right?
Just wait and see.
I'll get everything back in one game.
When is it?
It's today.
What exactly do I have to do to make sure I never see you again?
You ran away and the place you end up is...
back here?
There were circumstances.
In all of Joseon, is this the only place you can find?
Did you bring her here?
I'm talking about In Yub.
Did you bring her here?
Follow me.
Where are you going? Husband!
Miss?
What happened?
Weren't you supposed to be hiding in the courtesan house?
I had something I had to do.
Didn't you have reasons to suspect Moo Myung?
Why did you come back with him?
Don't you realize that he's dangerous?
- I know. - Then why?
You come and go as you please.
And Moo Myung is always next to you.
What am I to you?
Can you guarantee that the Finance Minister
isn't involved in my father's case?
Then just pretend you don't know me.
You can't help me, and even if you do, I feel uncomfortable about it.
Do you think I'd choose my family over you?
If you were that kind of person, you'd probably be more at peace.
Because you're not, everything is harder.
I would never be so cruel as to make you choose between your father and me.
In Yub.
If you can't treat me like a maid, then pretend you don't know me. Please.
You're going to pretend to not know me and do what with Moo Myung?
I'm going to find out who the true leader of Man Wol is.
That person has to be the one who did this to my family.
You trust him that much?
He saved my life.
That is all I can trust.
When In Yub was taken by the traitors...
it seems she overheard that there is a traitor amongst our servants.
It could be her imagination.
But, if it is the truth, I must be the one to catch that person.
I will start investigating.
Moo Myung is unique, isn't he?
He doesn't quite seem like a slave.
I have known him since birth.
You can trust him.
You will have to investigate everyone in the servants' quarters.
I will need a list of all the servants who were not born in our house.
Be discreet, but precise.
Yes, Lord.
Yes, it is her.
That's the woman who took in my daughter and her son.
Should I be thanking you?
For being a loyal dog to my father all this time?
Don't delude yourself into thinking we're on the same side.
Are you that afraid?
What you really fear is In Yub finding out the truth, is it not?
You're the one who's probably afraid.
Aren't you ashamed of hiding your true self
and being next to her all this time?
I'm nothing like you, who has lived like my father's dog.
But you are the son of the person who made In Yub's life what it is today.
You're right. I am a member of a traitorous group.
I am well aware of this.
Whereas you... you do not know where you stand or who you are.
Shut your mouth!
Why did you help In Yub escape?
Did you betray my father or are you manipulating In Yub?
It's neither.
Then why did you let her live?
Why would you? For what reason?
If you know about your father, then you are no longer my master.
Then kill me.
If you do not want In Yub to find out about all of this...
it would serve you well to forget about me, as well.
'Moo', meaning 'without' and 'Myung', meaning 'name'.
Your name literally means that you have no name.
Isn't it very mysterious and odd?
When one does not have parents, is it not common?
There was no reason to name me and so I wasn't.
Though you are a servant in my home...
I'm sure you know that I trust you like I would my son.
But...
do you trust me, as well?
You wouldn't be hiding anything from me, would you?
Of course not.
Have you seen anything like this before?
It's the first time I've seen it.
Is that so?
I'm sure you've heard.
According to In Yub, there is a traitor among the servants.
If this is true, I want you to find him first.
Whoever seems suspicious, busy at night, or having business with outsiders.
Yes, Lord.
Also, look for people who have no reason for being servants.
Your reason for pushing me away...
is it purely because of my father?
Have you opened up your heart to Moo Myung?
Yes. You're right.
I do like...
Moo Myung.
I am depending on him a lot.
Even if he's a foe of your father, it doesn't matter?
You said I wouldn't do.
You said no to me so firmly.
I've come to learn that people should stick to people of their own class.
I will live appropriately.
Will you be happy?
Master.
Every time I call you that, I feel like my heart will stop.
Instead of a maid referring to her owner...
if only I could call you that as your bride.
How nice it would be to call out to my husband.
Rather than referring to you by any other title...
I had so looked forward to calling you 'husband' some day.
I had even practiced by myself.
But now...
You, Master...
are not my husband.
You are my master.
I may forget you.
I may forget you and move onto someone new.
But I will not forget your heart for the rest of my life.
Can you guarantee that the Finance Minister
isn't involved in my father's case?
You can't help me, and even if you do...
I feel uncomfortable about it.
What has made you so greedy?
It was Yi Bang Won, that man.
He annihilated 500 men on the seas.
I cannot forget for even one moment.
What you really fear is In Yub finding out the truth, is it not?
But you are the son of the person who made In Yub's life what it is today.
Do you think I'd choose my family over you?
If you were that kind of person, you'd probably be more at peace.
I would never be so cruel as to make you choose between your father and me.
Yes.
And what brings you by, daughter-in-law?
Dropping by your in-laws' without your husband?
I wanted to see how you've been.
As long as the two of you are well, we are just fine.
Now, if we could have a grandchild, what more would we need?
Unfortunately... I may have to cancel this marriage.
Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about?
Are you aware that my husband has yet to complete his first night with me?
He disappeared on the first night of our marriage and made his bride wait.
After that, he has not set foot into the bridal room.
That child.
If you can help me out with this issue, I can lend a hand with yours.
Did I have something I needed help with?
From what I hear from your servants, you're looking for a Head Servant.
I will give you Moo Myung.
When the time comes for me to move into this household...
I will bring Moo Myung with me, instead of a maid.
Just let me hold that for you!
Gosh, come on!
Here we are. This way.
Hey! You're here, you're here!
Come in, come in! This way. Over here!
Darn! I have a one again.
I have an eight.
There's no way you have anything higher than me.
Hold on!
I have a Jang Ddaeng (highest hand).
Impossible! How could you have a Jang Ddaeng?
Oh no. Now you have nothing. What will you do?
No, this is all I have. You can't take it. No, no!
- Give it back to me! It's mine! - Lady!
Well, anyway!
You must not behave this way here.
- I don't care! It's mine. - Hey, you can't do that!
Where did you find this awful person?
My money! My money!
It's my money!
Seriously?
What are you doing? I was so startled!
You're not one to get startled so easily.
You said you had something to say?
Say what you came to say.
Dan Ji.
It's been far too long, hasn't it?
We haven't been intimate like this in so long.
You and your wife sure are intimate every night.
You're always hanging around with Dduk Swe.
- What do you mean? - I saw you two many times.
There's nothing wrong with a single girl and man hanging out. It's not illegal.
Don't be like this Dan Ji.
Believe me, I'm not with my wife because I like her or anything.
Do you know how hard it's been running and hiding from her?
And now she's even gambling. She even went through all my stuff.
That girl, she's not sane right now.
She's going out more often, too.
Is she cheating on me?
If Lady Kang cheats on you, what would you do?
I would leave her immediately!
Then, Dan Ji...
Last time, Lord Heo asked me about my mother.
Just now, he showed me a man's hair accessory.
I had never seen it before.
Do you, perhaps... have anything more to tell me?
I've told you everything.
Your mother had an unjust death at the hands of the rulers of this new land.
And it was Man Wol that saved you.
By chance...
did my mother leave something for me?
If there were, wouldn't I have given it to you?
I visited your mother today.
I gave news of you to your mother.
Wife.
Yes?
Last time, I was very rude to you.
I'd like to have some drinks and food today, Wife.
Why is that?
How will you insult me today?
I just want to drink.
You're all done for the day.
I feel bad for asking.
My husband would like to have a drink.
Just the two us, husband and wife.
Should I get some food prepared?
You know better than anyone what kind of food he likes, right?
If anything is lacking, let me know. I'll prepare more.
This is good enough.
Bring it in.
Give it to me, Miss.
I'll take it inside.
Why? Can't In Yub take it inside?
She set the entire table.
No, Miss.
I'll go.
Who are you to step in?
In Yub is going.
I know why you're doing this, Miss Yoon Ok.
But, still... you know what their relationship was in the past.
It wasn't just a day or two.
Sa Wol!
You dare to interfere. Who do you think you are?
Just because some of you have been getting attention from noblemen...
do you actually think you're on the same level as me?
You all feel like life is unfair and things never go your way, don't you?
But do you know this?
You only end up feeling this way because you have ridiculous ambitions.
Know your place in life!
That way, you can avoid floggings.
Prepare another table.
I want In Yub to do it, not anyone else.
Understand?
This is my present to you, Husband.
Just as it is enjoyable to receive drinks from a courtesan...
it can be enjoyable to have some drinks in the home before going to bed.
I hope the two of you enjoy it.
I will be going on my way.
Sit down.
I said sit down.
Pour him a drink.
You spilled the drink.
I'm sorry.
I have thought about it.
If you truly desire it, you may have In Yub.
There is nothing more foolish than being jealous of a used toy.
She is bound to be thrown away once you grow sick of her.
Play with her... until you grow tired of her.
I will not interfere.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Give it a rest and have a drink.
Pour her a drink.
I cannot drink.
I've never had a sip of alcohol before.
There is a first for everything.
Drink some tonight.
Since you wish it, I will accept one drink.
I will get going now.
Where are you going?
Serve me until the end.
Once we are done drinking, should you not lay out our bedding?
That is your job as a maid.
You've made up your mind to be a maid, so do your job properly.
Once you're ready for bed, call me then.
I will prepare your bedding.
Miss!
Miss, are you okay?
Yes, how about you? Are you okay?
Of course. I'm fine.
Look at this. Do you think it'll fit?
Wow, look how small it is.
- Isn't it cute? - Yes.
Is the baby coming?
What do we do?
Not now.
May I feel it?
Yes.
Right here.
Wow.
- It's amazing, isn't it? - Yes.
- Is the baby coming! - Yes.
Baby! Baby's coming!
- Move! Move out of the way! - What should we do?
Hurry! We have to move her to the basement.
The basement?
We can't have babies up in the room. Imagine the noise.
The masters would not be happy.
But Ok Yi's baby isn't a servant's baby.
It's Lord Heo's baby.
Can't she scream and make some noise?
Don't you see she's biting her lip to hold back?
We have to go to the basement.
She can scream and yell to her heart's content.
Then I'll tell Lord Heo. He should know what's going on.
Don't say anything.
Let's do this quietly, on our own. Okay?
Ok Yi!
A child that should not be born is being born.
Who would welcome this child?
All of you...
Don't turn out like me.
Don't even look at a nobleman.
And don't ever get pregnant.
You will be ruining your life, do you understand?
Ok Yi, Ok Yi! Hurry.
You guys, get a spot in the basement ready.
We have to get ready for the childbirth.
Hurry! Quickly! Let's go!
Boil some water!
Water, water!
Okay! Our work here is done.
The experienced Dan Ji's mother will now take over.
The men are not allowed to be in here, so let's scram.
- Okay! - You think they'll give us dinner?
Well, it is a nobleman's child.
Oh, this is hot!
Eun Ki, it is me.
I heard that Yoon Ok has had too much to drink.
This is a girl who has never had a drink in her entire life.
She must have been very upset in order to do so.
Don't worry and go back to bed.
She'll be sleeping with me tonight.
Hold her.
Bring her over here, this way.
Slowly now, put her down easy.
- We have to get everything ready. - Okay, let's get going.
Ok Yi, wait just a bit. Everyone's getting prepared.
Can I have some water?
Hold on a moment. I'll bring you some warm water.
- In Yub? - Yes?
Thank you.
I'll be right back.
Wow, look at this sweat.
Ok Yi... Ok Yi!
Ok Yi?
Ok Yi... Ok Yi?
Ok Yi? Ok Yi?
Ok Yi, Ok Yi!
What do we do?
She has stopped... breathing!
- That's nonsense! - No way!
I have seen two young babies die, so I know the signs.
Ok Yi? Ok Yi?
Oh dear!
She isn't breathing through her nose!
- What do we do now? - Ok Yi!
- Wake up!
That's not possible. There's no way.
Ok Yi.
Ok Yi?
Ok... Ok Yi!
Ok Yi, open your eyes!
Open your eyes and look at this.
It's your baby's.
You just made it, remember?
You said it was small and so cute, Ok Yi!
Open your eyes, Ok Yi!
She has fresh strangulation marks on her throat.
It looks like death by strangulation.
Move the body off to the side and under a covering.
Report this to the masters.
But don't they already know?
Do not be disobedient.
Ok Yi, Ok Yi!
If you were going to die like this, why did you come back?
Ok Yi didn't just die.
If it's strangulation, then someone choked her to death.
Don't we have to catch the culprit?
She had already been ordered to be killed.
The masters will definitely bury it.
- There's no point in trying. - She was pregnant with a baby!
We have to report this.
We have to resolve this injustice!
You cannot make accusations against your master.
What?
Except for treason, you cannot make accusations against your master.
Don't you know that?
That's the law.
How does that make sense?
Then who protects us?
No one. No one protects us.
But we can protect each other.
Even if this country tosses us aside and our masters attack and abuse us...
We...
We can protect each other.
She's already dead.

Take a good look.
If you take another woman's man, this is what becomes of you.
You asked to be treated like a maid and that's what I'm doing.
It hurts you more than it hurts me.
Try as you might, you won't be able to change the world.
I might die soon, so I wanted to do this one last thing before I left.
That's the way life is. The end result may not be what you want.
Have you already gone over to their side?
In Yub has been taken by the royal guards.
So what do you want me to do about it?
We will enter the palace.
Is the bait ready?
I am considering becoming the bait myself.
