Episode 23
What are you doing?
Won't you step aside!
Prince Gwang Hae.
There has been a royal order to bring you back to the palace.
Do you understand why you have been dragged here?
I came here immediately after learning you wanted me here.
But I do not quite understand why.
After committing disloyal act like treason, how can you be so confident?
What do you mean treason?
How could I even think like that!
In these letters you sent,
your treasonous mind is clearly shown to encourage the Chief Scholar.
And yet you still disagree?
Although I
passed letters back and forth with the Chief Scholar,
it was only matters of worrying about our nation.
I had no other intentions.
Take a look at this!
Did you not write "give me power"?
Are you still going to insist that it's your loyalty?
Power you say.
Are you talking about military strength or strength from the Scholars?
What reason are you asking this for?
Honored Father.
This letter is a fake.
I have never written anything like this.
Shut your mouth!
Should I bring the Chief Scholar and cross-examine you to confess your sins?!
Since we have come this far,
we must send Prince Gwang Hae out of this palace.
Would anything go wrong?
Appeals for harsh punishment for Prince Gwang Hae
will be pouring down like rain.
All that's left is placing Prince Shin Seong on the Crown Prince throne.
Please hurry.
When His Highness's anger settles down and is quiet,
that is when we should take the opportunity.
We need to take action because we don't know when the King will change his mind again.
The vacant positions left by the exiled Chief Scholar's followers
will be filled by our party members.
If that happens, we will be able to
speak as one during our next meeting.
Your Highness, Prince Im Hae is coming in.
Since Gwang Hae is caught and everything is going according to our plan,
all that's left is placing me on the Crown Prince throne.
Of course we have to.
However, Prince Im Hae,
if you rise at the wrong moment, you may end up like Prince Gwang Hae.
Are you able to handle that?
What do you mean "like him"?
I've never concerned myself with the nation and never sent a letter to anyone.
In other words, I'm the perfect Crown-Prince-to-be who has no flaw at all.
When you're the perfect Crown-Prince-to-be,
what uneasiness is making you so hasty?
Calmly, just look out for
Prince Gwang Hae's whereabouts.
For discomforting the King, this Prince
will accept any form of punishment.
If you tell me to leave the palace, then I will.
If you tell me never to appear in front of you again,
then I will follow your wishes.
However, Your Majesty,
please consider the situation afterward.
What do you mean, the situation afterward?
Chief Scholar and his supporters were punished over this incident.
Now their positions will be filled by
the Eastern party.
How have you been able to keep any one party from gaining power and therefore hold fast to your own power?
Was it not because you maintained the power balance between the East and West parties, and
did not favor any one party?
That is now falling apart.
You mean...You were able to see though that.
If the Eastern party takes over the court though this incident,
together they will form a voice opposing you,
and the King's place will be threatened.
But even if that were true,
I cannot simply overlook your wrong actions.
I...
I'm not a legitimate successor, nor am I an eldest.
I know my own position more than anyone else
How could I dare seek after the Crown Prince position?
Not only that, I won't be able to get the acknowledgement as the Crown Prince by Ming (China) either.
I swear to you that I have never coveted the crown.
Then how did you send and receive these letters?
It was only to follow your command and the example of Your Majesty.
Whenever there is a huge crisis amongst our nation,
didn't you say to gather our minds, and
together find a way to solve our problems?
I did say that. And because of that,
we have been able to enjoy the peace.
I did exactly as you told,
by asking for the Scholar's opinions and their thoughts.
If it was wrong to Your Highness,
then please take away my life immediately.
So you followed my examples and
tried to strive hard?
How can that not be?
Solely,
to be like me?
You were foolish.
Since you tried to act like me,
that's why your intention was misunderstood as a treasonous one.
- This time it was the Chief Scholar. Who do you think it will be next? - Excuse me?
Whenever you act foolishly, someone you cherish will disappear, one by one.
Unless there is another command, you will not step out of this palace.
You'll be in disciplinary confinement.
Disciplinary confinement?
Why is the King not ordering him to be interrogated and severely punished immediately?
How could it only be a disciplinary confinement?
Your Highness.
Didn't you say that you would save me and my son?
I won't be able to breathe since Prince Gwang Hae is in the palace.
Lady In Bin, do not worry.
Although Prince Gwang Hae did something to be misunderstood as treasonous,
but his treason is not possible.
However, Your Highness...
Just because he wrote a few letters to the Chief Scholar, do you really want to run him dry for you to feel better?
I want to be remembered as a benevolent leader. How is it that you continue to push me to be a malevolent leader?
Fairness and forgiveness are a king's virtue.
I have to practice my virtue, so accept it as such and you may go back.
I knew this would happen.
I knew you two
would create havoc like this.
Your Highness,
did something happen to Prince Gwang Hae?
See look at this! In this mess and you're worrying for Gwang Hae.
How tearful your love is...
What happened?
The entire nation will find that out soon anyway,
so I'll tell you.
It's treason.
What?
Are you surprised?
Didn't you also participate in that treachery?
Your Highness.
How can you say such a scary thing?
Didn't you help Gwang Hae by making the dishes that prevent stomach illnesses.
That was
the start of treason.
What do you mean treason? Was it not all for the good of the people?
And I heard that as a royal command.
Royal command or whatever!
Upsetting the King... That is treason.
Didn't Gwang Hae steal the love from the public which was supposed to be directed to His Majesty?
Moreover, running away with a girl when his treason was revealed?
After this incident,
Prince Gwang Hae will go through some trouble.
Your Highness.
Am I a liability for Prince Gwang Hae?
Because of me,
will His Highness' sin
become even bigger?
That's ridiculous!
You still worry about Gwang Hae?
You still don't realize your situation?
You won't be safe either.
For your sin for seducing a prince despite your lowly status,
you might end up living the rest of your life as a government's slave.
And for your sin for running away with a treasonous criminal,
you might be put to death by dismemberment.
There will be nothing of that sense!
You.
How are you released?
Follow me.
My private guards have worked hard to drag her here.
I told you to follow me.
Gwang Hae should have been dragged for interrogation.
How can he walk around in the palace like nothing happened?
Are you okay?
Are you okay as well?
You will never have to go through this kind of trouble again
because of me.
It's okay, Your Highness.
I was afraid something would happen to you because of me.
It seems like I was dreaming for a small moment.
At that place while looking at you, for just a moment,
I had a dream.
All that I've said...
I have already forgotten them.
So, you need not worry, Your Highness.
It was my honest truth, Jung.
All the while, I have the same feelings even now.
While I was dragged to the palace, I realized that again.
I am just a menial worker,
and Your Highness is a prince, so that I have to be frightened to even look at you.
I will close my heart, so that
Your Highness will be safe.
Escort her to Bunwon.
Yes.
How did you persuade Honorable Father?
How is that a traitor is doing this well?
How is that you want to talk to a traitor?
Please leave.
Hon, although it seems this incident has been put to rest,
you can never know if Honorable Father will change his mind.
Before he gets even angrier, just leave everything,
and run away with that girl.
I will help you out of the palace with all my might.
So, you two runaway and live together.
Hyungnim!
Instead of living as a prince, live like a man!
Hyungnim!
Did you say to live like a man?
I will then!
Until now, I think I have respected you as your younger brother enough.
So, if Hyungnim wants a fight,
I will confront you like man, instead of avoiding you.
So please keep that in your mind!
Hon, you...
Are you trying to stand up to me?
I will tell Honorable Father.
I'll tell the entire world about your depravity!
If to protect someone precious to me I need strength,
I will do so.
Jung, do you know how worried I was?
How can you listen to Chief Lee and dig for white clay?
Who knows what would happen?
So are you okay?
What's wrong with your complexion?
I'm alright.
I slipped while trying to dig for white clay, so my leg is a bit hurt.
Your leg? You walked with a hurt leg?
It's all better, which is why I came like this.
Whatever Chief Lee asks you to do, don't go outside of Bunwon. It's dangerous.
You said not to stay in Bunwon.
Ma Poong is gone.
He won't be near Bunwon anymore,
so for now Bunwon is the safest place.
Teacher is here and the Ilnam kids are also here.
There are many eyes to look after you.
Whether it's dangerous or not, I'm going to do my work here.
I heard Prince Gwang Hae went to look for you.
Did you meet him?
What did he say?
Orabeoni.
There will not longer be ties that connect His Highness and me.
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
Just, I'll be staying in Bunwon, and His Highness in the Palace.
I'm a menial worker and he's a prince.
Let's go.
Orabeoni, what's wrong?
It's nothing.
Orabeoni, are you hurt?
How did you get hurt? Let me see!
It's nothing, I say.
It's just a strain from practicing too much.
Let's go inside.
You!
Do you know how worried I was because of you?!
If you're going somewhere, you should say that you're going somewhere.
Why did you hide it?
I thought that Teacher would be worried, that's why.
I ordered medicine for you Teacher, but
I couldn't pick it up and just came because something happened.
Just by looking at your face I'm all better.
So was there nothing going on?
I thought Lee Kang Cheon was scheming something, and
do you know how upset my insides were?!
That's not it.
The workers that went with me treated me well. Nothing really happened.
Is that so?
Who's there?
Come in.
You're safe.
Gae Dong, you told me you'd come with me. Where'd you go?
Don't even talk about it, you don't know how much I was punished because of that.
-Look! -Hey!
You sure deserve it!
It's okay now that we see that you're safe.
Jung, your friend is waiting for you outside.
You should go see her.
What is this?
Orabeoni's medicine.
What?
Perhaps... you didn't know?
Did Orabeoni get hurt?
Orabeoni tried to catch Teacher Eul Dam's murderer and...
He risked his life while fighting and survived the brink of death and...
you didn't even know that had happened.
If I wasn't there, Orabeoni would've...
Tell me with more detail what happened.
What happened?
Ma Poong.
Ma Poong, that person, is he the one who killed Teacher?
Isn't he the one under Chief Lee?
Then, is Chief Lee involved in this as well?
There's nothing for certain.
So, Hwa Ryeong, you, don't go on telling without knowing for sure.
Not to anyone.
You're here to see Hwa Ryeong?
I came because I had something to ask you.
Kenzo, where can I meet him?
Why do you need to meet Kenzo?
The person I'm trying to catch is with Kenzo.
The person you're trying to catch?
Can I ask who it is?
His name is Ma Poong and he stayed in Bunwon.
Ma Poong, then isn't he one of Chief Lee's subordinates?
Haeng Soo Elder, you know him?
Of course I do. He follows Chief Lee like his shadow.
However, why are you trying to find Ma Poong with Kenzo?
Perhaps...
Did Ma Poong deliver goods to Kenzo?
And more so, Hwa Ryeong was there as well?
It's our company's matters anyway. It's something I need to know.
Hear it from Hwa Ryeong directly.
The thing I want to know is where Kenzo is residing.
He came to find some goods.
If he already got them, he would probably go to Wae-Gwan (a special district for Japanese envoys / merchants).
Thank you.
Hwa Ryeong, so you are finally taking a stand.
Orabeoni.
Is your body alright?
If you were looking for me, I wouldn't have visited Bunwon.
Perhaps, did Haeng Soo Elder not know about the deal that night?
Did you... tell Haeng Soo Elder?
Didn't I tell you that it was a deal my life depended on?!
How could you tell her that?
Hwa Ryeong...
Haeng Soo Elder, there was somewhere I needed to go, which is why I'm late.
I'm talking about the deal from before.
There seems to be an ending.
I will report to you tomorrow
about the details of our deal with Kenzo.
What is your reason for reporting it now?
I told you before.
That I would report to you once the deal ends well.
How could I possibly deal behind your back?
I wanted to be acknowledged for it.
That without your help, I can make deals by myself.
So, I wanted to be approved of by you.
I've kept my end,
so now it's your turn.
My turn?
Didn't you say if I'm to your liking, that I can be your successor?
I solely trusted that and made it my goal
to run after this, Haeng Soo Elder.
That...
I will judge after the deal has ended.
Thank you, Haeng Soo Elder.
If I become your successor, I'll do great just as you would have done.
Just a while ago, Kim Tae Do came by.
Is that so?
How is his body?
You didn't meet him, you say.
I was on my way to passing the medicine to Jung, so maybe we couldn't meet.
Yeon Jung Elder, there is something I'd like to ask.
Before, you called me Yeon Ok Unni didn't you?
I... don't remember.
You definitely called me that.
If Yeon Ok is someone you called Unni,
were you close to her?
It is best not to bring that name up here in Bunwon.
Why so?
Why do you keep wanting to know?
It's late, so clean up Chief Lee's room.
Did you call me?
Don't you think we need to prepare the royal utensils to be used for the Mid Autumn Festival?
I was meaning to discuss it with you.
How about trying out bratticing this time? [A method of creating fretwork (open work) in ceramics so it looks lace-like]
Are you talking about me?
It's something only you have done, so I've been careful.
Yoo Jung.
Yes.
Have you tried bratticing before?
No, I've never seen anyone do it.
Then this time watch and learn from what Royal Ceramist Lee is doing.
Yes.
Then, go on.
Father!
How could you ask her to learn bratticing?
Before when you were making the lids,
you did excellent after I put her against you.
If it wasn't a competition the results would have been the same.
Father, how could you...
Do you think I do well because of Yoo Jung?
You've still a long way to go.
If there's a moment that you don't think
that Yoo Jung shouldn't be cared for more than a strand of hair,
is the day when I will kick her out of Bunwon.
Teacher!
Teacher! I think I will be learning bratticing.
Bratticing?
What did he say they would be making with that?
He said it's for the royal utensils for the Mid Autumn Festival.
Stay out.
That is not for you to touch upon.
Teacher!
To do bratticing, you have to make the dish in double layers.
With your current skill to spin the wheel, it can't be done at all.
Aigoo, didn't I tell you that your basics are lacking?
If it's about that, then I realized over and over when making the lids.
One by one, you should acquire skill in a calm and orderly way.
Just because Ceramist Lee does this you go vrooom,
and because he does that you go vrooom.
Will you ever build up your skills?
How could I, when my heart feels rushed.
I have to hurry and learn in order to win.
Your Father told you to become a Ceramist,
to like ceramics, and to enjoy making them.
However, look at what you're doing!
Your eyes are blood shot red because you only care about winning.
You doing so,
do you know who it reminds me of?
Even if you compare, how can you compare me to Chief Lee?
Please, do not say those words!
If you don't want to hear those words, then let everything down and empty your heart!
If you don't,
then I won't be teaching you!
Why are you standing there and not getting out?!
I don't even have the energy to fight with you, so get out!
I did wrong, Teacher Moon.
With solely promising my Father,
I have become impatient.
Please forgive me.
Which is why you should take one step at a time in a calm and orderly way..
This is how your tower will not collapse.
Do you know how worried I am for you these days?
You're not the only one that's impatient.
What do you think about me?
Huh?
How much do you think there is left of me to live?
Before I die,
I must make you into a Ceramist,
so that I would be able to rest comfortably.
Don't say such words, Teacher!
Get up.
If you want to build your skills while being a menial worker,
you won't have time to sleep.
Are you prepared?
Yes, Teacher.
Alright.
Let's do this.
Aigoo, so heavy.
Why is the water like that?
I know right?
When I came here this morning, it ended up like this.
We're in a rush for this glaze, so I'm worried.
Since it rained, the stream is all muddy water as well.
This whole day will be wasted to settle this muddy water.
If the glazing process isn't done today,
un-glazed dishes become unusable.
This is catastrophic for your work.
That's enough for pebbles. Now we have to find this kind of rock.
Find rocks that look like this.
It looks like a barley ball.
That's right. That's why it's called barley stone. (elvan / granite gravel)
So, let's try to find the rocks that look like barley balls.
Ugh, I'm dead after this.
Here.
You did great.
Will this make the water more clear?
Don't interfere and get scolded without reason,
I told you to stay out of this one.
Yeon Jung Elder needs to make glaze.
Here, help me with this first.
Alright.
There has been trouble with the water, so we won't be able to glaze them today.
If you had already made the glaze, nothing like this would have happened.
I'm sorry.
How many ceramic pieces will be thrown away if we don't glaze them today?
About half a kiln's worth?
Half of kiln?
Can you handle that much loss?
Yeon Jung Elder.
Do not worry.
I will somehow work things out.
If this succeeds, I will teach you the process of making glaze.
Really?
Hurry! Hurry!
I wish it works well...
Clear water is coming out.
You have suffered.
It's clear, clear!!
Yeon Jung Elder, instead of teaching me about glaze, can you answer another request?
Please tell me about the person named Yeon Ok.
I built your curiosity even more.
I didn't want to remember those memories which is why.
Yeon Ok unnie is...
someone who lived in this room with me.
Then does that mean I am using the room that used to belong to Yeon Ok?
What do you think it'll mean to you.
Yeon Jung Elder, it does mean something to me.
To be honest,
that person is my mother.
You're...
You're..
Yeon Ok unnie's daughter?
Yes.
So that means Yeon Ok...
No, my mother was my father's assistant.
I did hear that my mother was a worker,
but I didn't hear that she was in Bunwon.
And to add on that she was Father's assistant.
Don't tell anyone about what we talked about today.
Why so?
I'm begging you.
Please, don't say anything.
Yes. I don't have anyone to tell.
Please tell me more about my mother.
What kind of person was she?
Do I resemble her?
What about her personality? She must have gotten along with my father, of course, right?
Yeon Jung Elder!
How come you're here, Jung.
My father's bowl I left with Hwa-Ryeong...
I came to get it.
I was meaning to meet you at Bunwon.
Haeng Soo Elder?
Yes, I have something to apologize for.
What could you be sorry for?
The bowls you gave as gifts.
There was a person who was greedy for them,
so they were sold.
Really?
There are so many precious ware in your company and he bought mine?
You're saying that because you don't know well..
For the vase you made before, we had some pre-order request for that as well.
I don't have the skills to receive money and sell my works, Haeng Soo Elder.
I'm learning again from the basics with my teacher every night these days
Jung, I have expectations for you and am curious of you.
Do you remember when you first came here?
That moment is still clear in my mind.
You made the great Lee Kang Cheon taken aback.
I thought you were very daring at your young age.
That promise I made, I still haven't kept it.
By now, my Father's neck would have been strained.
He would be proud of your tremendous effort.
Jung, don't concern yourself in what others say and build up your skills.
Girls can't become ceramists? There is no reason to pay attention to that
One day, that (taboo) will be broken.
Thank you, Haeng Soo Elder.
Is it okay to visit you when it gets difficult?
Whenever you want.
Father...
Father you must have been happy.
That you made this with Mother.
You kneaded the clay together,
wedging together,
even spinning the wheel together.
Until when are you gonna stay like that?!
In what decade will you build up your skills?
I will, I am going to.
You're going to teach about brattcing right?
Again, again, again!!
How can someone who can't even crawl, fly?
You don't even know the basics of how the royal porcelains are made.
What you will learn today is a soup bowl.
Draw it as I say.
King's dish has large opening...
Dressed in a bowl.
Right.
sits up high,
Here, here, open up wider.
Like this.
Right, that's right.
He likes dish shapes like that.
For today, you will form the dishes just like that picture.
This lesson is how to paint the pattern.
For the patterns symbolizing the royal family, a winged steed, arabesque pattern,
and 4-Gracious-Plants (plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo), etc. are used, but the most valuable one is Woon-Yong.
The one with clouds and dragons drawn together, right?
That's right.
The main part of it is the dragon.
It should preserve dignity, and you should make each stroke of each scale look its best.
Try it.
How many times do I have to tell you that you can't draw on it like you are drawing on paper.
You look at the drawing on paper only at one side , but a porcelain will be looked at from all sides, Jung.
You have to draw it to give its liveliness, no matter at which direction the people would see it.
Yes, Teacher.
Try it again.
Yes.
Is there still no word on whether His Majesty is coming?
Yes, Your Highness.
Go see what's going on and report back to me.
Yes.
Do you know how your father, as an illegitimate grandson,
came to obtain the throne?
I heard that among tens of royal grandchildren
you were most intelligent.
There was a reason that the King noticed me.
One day when he was spending some time with his grandchildren,
he said he wanted to see if our heads are big or small.
So he ordered everyone to try on the crown.
Everyone tried on the crown, but you know what I did?
I accepted the crown with my two hands and
respectfully returned it to the King's table.
"How could a royal subject even attempt to try it on?"
I said...
How I became a king
is thanks to humility.
Acknowledging the King and lowering myself at that time allowed me to become the King now.
Do you know why I'm telling you this?
I understand.
I mean for you to lower yourself now as well.
If you get right down to it, what happened this time is also because you could not do that.
I am reflecting on it.
For the time being don't do anything else,
just do your work at Bunwon.
Yes, Honored Father.
Don't work too hard.
Because you try too hard, other people are noticing you.
Work is all done by your subordinates,
so you just need to sit tight as the leader.
I will bear it in mind, Honored Father.
What is this?
I was preparing to make the glaze.
That's not what I'm asking.
What is the wood that you are burning now?
They are peach branches.
Who told you to do this?
We needed more heat.
Royal ceramist said that you needed 3000 degree heat, so
I was using it to increase the heat.
Did you not know that peach branches are forbidden in Bunwon?
I didn't know. There are banned things?
This is all because of your father.
To get revenge, your father poisoned Queen Goong Bin with peach glaze.
My father would never do that.
Your father was kicked out of Bunwon after committing treason.
You didn't know that?
Teacher! Was father,
because Queen Goong Bin fainted, kicked out?
Did you already know, Teacher?
Chief Ceramist always said as much...
Why all of sudden are you acting like this?
I thought it was a made up story.
I thought it was an entrapment.
But, that father's glaze made someone faint...
Your father wasn't that kind of person.
I believe your father's innocence, you believe it too,
isn't everything okay then?
Don't be hurt at what the world says, just forget it.
I have to find out the truth.
Yoo Jung! You've already broken your other promises.
How can you even think about creating another problem?
I have told you many times that your mind must be at peace to make good bowls.
With that kind of hasty mind,
it's no use if you spend the night spinning the wheel, so give everything up!
Teacher!
If you're going to keep ignoring my words,
there's no reason to even call me a Teacher.
You are going to faint. Slow down.
By any chance, have you seen Yeon Jeong Elder?
She had some things to get. She went to the forest.
Why Yeon Jeong?
Ahjussi...
When my father was kicked out of Bunwon,
you remained at Bunwon, right?
What again? What are you trying to ask this time?
These days, just seeing you makes me feel uneasy.
I heard it was revenge?
Who made that glaze? Was it Yeon Jeong Elder?
I don't know.
Don't be like that. Please tell me.
I have to know, since I'm his daughter.
Was it really my father who made that glaze?
I don't know about anything else, but
I heard that Royal Ceramist Yoo confessed and took responsibility for it all.
If it unfair, then it's unfair. If it's not, then it's not.
The person who saved your father after that incident,
was Prince Gwang Hae.
What?
Because Prince GwangHae was born,
he didn't get executed and was lucky.
If that hadn't been the case he would've been executed.
Did you save my Father, Your Highness?
Thank you, Your Highness.
Jung!
His Highness is looking for you.
Does it make you uncomfortable to be called by me?
You don't have to avoid me, so be comfortable.
I have to apologize and thank you, Your Highness.
It's just that I don't know where to start.
What are apologizing for and what are you grateful for?
I heard that the glaze made by my father,
caused Queen Goong Bin to faint.
Also that my father who was meant to be executed because of it,
was saved because you were born.
In that situation I should be the one that is both apologetic and grateful.
But, Queen Goong Bin,
isn't she your mother?
I also heard about this,
but that is not your father's fault.
Even among the royal family it was a very tight secret.
Your father was a ceramist. How would he know that?
Do you truly believe it that way?
He was just working hard to make the best porcelain there is, so don't worry too much about it.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I didn't expect you to say that.
But, because you believed in my father's innocence,
I am truly grateful.
How will you be repaying me?
Huh?
Hurry up and become a ceramist and make the bowls for the Royal Palace.
The ceramics that I will use, eat with, and drink with...
Make it all. Do you think you can do it?
Yes, Your Highness.
I will always do that.
I can control the funds to the point of making it difficult for those politicians to have their meetings.
Do you not know how I brought you to your Royal Ceramist position?
Your Highness, Bunwon's finances are not that extravagant.
Are you confessing your incompetence in front of me?
Even today, Prince Gwang Hae came to the Bunwon.
He keeps a close eye on things so even I can't
do anything about it.
I will no longer tolerate any excuses, so you get the money I said I needed right now.
I am truly sorry Your Highness, but
Bunwon's money line is
no longer yours.
There is something for you guys to do.
Keep any eye on Hwa Ryeong.
Huh?
I want to confirm if she's up to something without my permission.
You will have to report back after thorough surveillance.
You guys already know that I will not forgive anyone who betrays me in this company.
I won't explain any more than this.
If she really is doing something without your consent, what will you do?
Are you asking because you don't know?
Hurry up and leave.
What is that you want to say?
Have there been any foreign warriors or trade company people staying here?
Some warriors who were leaving the country left early this morning.
Do you know where they went?
Going over Shimlee toward Naru is what I heard.
Thank you.
If there is no problem, I will send a message.
Your master, who sent you, said your swordsmanship is exceptional.
Would you like to come with me?
No,
I will remain with the owner who I serve.
I'm just passing on the wishes of your master.
Since I did not hear it myself,
I cannot follow you.
If there is a fate, let's meet again.
Who sent you guys?
I will ask you again.
Who sent you?
Before you answer what I ask you,
you cannot die.
Don't die. I still have something I need to hear from you.
You were already dead because of plague.
Since you said you would risk your life for me,
it won't be unfair.
Stay alive.
Stay alive. There is something left that you must do!
That night...
Who was the one who ordered you to kill Eul Dam ahjussi. Was it Royal Chief Lee?
Back then, you were a little kid.
You've grown.
Please tell me, Yeon Jung Elder.
It is my parent's matter. Please.
The person who made the glaze back then,
was Yeon Ok.
Yeon Ok burned the peach blossom flowers.
Father did not make any excuses
because of mother, huh?
In order not to drag her down.
But the weird thing is...
The night that Ceramist Yoo was sent to prison, Yeon Ok Unni went to see the Bunwon Chief.
She said that the person who had ordered her to use it was the Bunwon Chief, and that she would reveal the truth.
That night when she visited the Bunwon Chief,
she didn't return.
Then,
the last person that my mother met was
the Bunwon Chief?
I'm not sure whether they met or not.
Even when I told her not to, she went.
It was a very rainy night.
Thunder sounded and lighting was striking.
You were born at that time.
That next day,
her body was found in the collapsed kiln.
Collapsed kiln...
Yeon Ok!
She died while Father was trying to save me.
Jung...
It could be possible that Yeon Ok Unni
didn't meet the Bunwon Chief.
On her way, she could have started labor pains, so she went inside the kiln to give birth to you.
I want to believe it like that.
Have you ever killed a person?
If you ignore my words, you will be the first.
With my owner's order, the person I killed first
was a girl.
She was a girl at Bunwon.
Inside her stomach, she had my owner's baby.
The Bunwon Chief is that kind of person.
Not someone that has a conscience like you, but a scary person.
Please repeat what you just said to the police.
The people that came to kill me...
Who do you think would send them?
I will only betray my owner up to here.
Once I leave, I will not open my mouth.
I..
Look over here, get your senses back!
Look here!
Where is the kiln where I was born and my mother died?
It is the kiln that caused your blindness.
That the person who ordered her to do it was the Bunwon Chief.
That she would reveal the truth.
That night when she went to meet Royal Chief Lee,
Yeon Ok Unni did not return.
Yoo Jung, what exactly are you doing in front of this kiln?
I heard that a woman named Yeon Ok died in this kiln.
At the same kiln that I lost my eyesight
is where someone else was harmed...
It made me feel weird, so I stood here.
The similarity between you and Yeon Ok, do you know what it is?
With a female body, the desire to become a ceramist.
That person Yeon Ok, also had a dream to be a ceramist?
What kind of person was she?
She is someone that has nothing to do with you.
No.
That person Yeon Ok does have something to do with me.
That person...
was my father's assistant.
That's right. She was.
I will leave now, so
look at it as much as your soul wants.
The one that made my father a criminal.
The one who made my mother die when she was trying to reveal the truth.
Did you have my father murdered in front of my own eyes?
Are you responsible for all of it?
Like ceramics waiting to be destroyed...
I will shatter you
completely.
~ Preview ~
So she died on her way to see Chief Ceramist Lee?
He is my parents' enemy.
I will expose him.
I can't just be a victim...
We are finally ending like this.
You did say you didn't want to see me alive.
Some people say there will be war... Go and find out for yourself.
Your crime of ignoring the suffering of our people from threat of foreign invasions.
You know what happened to Prince Gwang Hae because of you!!
I won't be able to come to Bunwon.
Please be healthy as well, Your Highness.
Jung Yi has extraordinary talent.
How much do you know about your father?
Everything he owns, I will crush it one by one.
