Yook Do...
Please save Yook Do.
The only person who can save Yook Do is you.
If you tell the truth,
that the person who made the clay
and the glaze was you,
you can prove Yook Do's innocence
and save his life.
I will do anything you ask of me.
So please save his life.
Whether or not I reveal that truth depends on you.
Therefore, the person who can save him is not me, but you.
Stand up.
How you can save him...
What it is that I want...
I will tell you.
Episode 27
Knowing of Her Majesty's illness, making a bowl containing glaze with peach blossoms...
Are you telling me to take the blame for your father's crimes?
What I want is the truth.
I'm telling you to reveal the truth.
Her Majesty collapsed after using your father's bowl.
Everyone already knows this.
What more is there to tell?
But, weren't you the one
who told Yeon Ok to use the peach blossom glaze?
The person who shut her mouth, when she wanted to reveal everything,
wasn't that also you?
I don't know what kind of stories you've heard,
but you're mistaken.
Your son's life hangs in the balance.
Even so, will you try to lie your way out?
I have already knelt before you.
What else wouldn't I do?
If you want a false confession, that's what I'll do.
If I can save Yook Do's life,
what does it matter if it's true or not.
Who should I tell?
Would you like to gather everyone in Bunwon?
Would you like me to confess to His Majesty?
As much as you want,
I will confess this lie.
I don't need it.
I was foolish to hope you'd tell the truth.
I was foolish to think you'd honestly confess;
honestly apologize to my father.
After all...
Are you telling me you'd kill Yook Do?
The one killing him
is not me,
but you.
What'd he say? Will he confess?
His face didn't change at all.
He said everything was a misunderstanding.
He said if I want, he'd give a fake confession.
He's looking down on me.
From the start, I didn't expect him to easily confess.
But how can he be so shameless?
Chief Lee will hold out to the end.
He treasures his son so much.
I thought if I did this, he'd reveal the truth for the sake of his son.
But he's still resisting.
He's scary.
That's right. He is.
I heard from Ma Poong.
He even ordered to have the woman carrying his baby
slashed cruelly.
Elder,
I will step down as Head Ceramist.
My son is a traitor.
So, how can I remain in that position.
If I step down,
the next Head
will be you.
Please...
look after
Bunwon.
So suddenly,
why are you doing this?
Yoo Jung, that child,
please convince her.
The person who can save Ceramist Lee
is only
Yoo Jung.
Jung?
How can she save Ceramist Lee?
What are you talking about?
You didn't know?
The one who made Ceramist Lee into a traitor
was no other than
Jung.
Are you in your right mind?
How would Jung?
Why?
The one who made the glaze and the clay, with materials from the sea,
was Yoo Jung.
If that is revealed,
then, I can save my Yook Do
Please, convince Jung.
To Yoo Jung,
you are just like a father.
She will listen
to your words.
Let's say
Jung does reveal the truth.
And she takes the blame for Ceramist Lee's crimes,
what will you do then?
Yoo Jung...
She's the one who started all this.
She said
she'd reveal the truth herself,
if I took the blame
for Yoo Eul Dam's crimes.
What?
If I can save Yook Do,
I'm willing to
take the blame.
Please tell Yoo Jung,
first, save Yook Do.
If she does that,
I will do anything
she wants.
I beg you.
Lee Kang Cheon came to see me.
According to him,
this situation
was your doing?
Your heart
must be in hell.
No, Teacher.
Finding out how my parents died so unfairly and being unable to do anything,
that was more like hell.
Now,
I only care about revealing the truth.
My heart is quite at ease.
He said
if you just save Yook Do,
he'll do as you want.
Although his son's life is at stake,
he still won't admit to his crimes.
If Ceramist Lee is released,
he definitely won't reveal the truth.
It'd be a shame for Ceramist Lee to die.
But I'm more worried
that you'll be hurt.
Teacher,
If I were to stop now,
I wouldn't have even started any of this.
Weren't you the one
who told Yeon Ok to use
the peach blossom glaze?
The person who shut her mouth,
when she wanted to reveal everything,
wasn't that also you?
Yoo Jung, you dare
pick a fight using my son's life?
I will teach you the consequences
of messing with me.
Save me.
Please, save me.
Just because of Yoo Jung...
I cannot die here because of Yoo Jung.
Wait a little longer.
No matter what,
stay alive.
Thank you
Thank you. Thank you, Father.
Thank you.
I.. I.. I will trust you and hold out.
Save me.
Follow me.
Have you decided?
How I can change your mind...
How I can resolve this misunderstanding about me...
I thought about it all night.
What is this?
Open it.
With that, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life.
The decision you came up with, after thinking all night,
was this?
Money will solve all your problems
and relieve a child's resolve to clear her father's name.
Is that what you believe?
What you're telling me to do is to die.
It isn't enough for me to be the father of a traitor, but you want me to become one as well?
I'm just telling you to tell the truth.
Then I, too, will tell the truth.
I am begging you to come clean, with a clear conscience.
Do you think that'll be the end?
From the beginning, wasn't I your objective?
The moment that you think you have me cornered...
The moment that I falter...
Won't you be aiming for my life?
If you had shown true remorse and apologized to my father,
I was planning on stopping here.
But now, I can't stop anymore.
I know what kind of person you are now.
Did you call for me?
It's about Ceramist Lee.
Even after continued interrogation, he still insists on his innocence.
He's holding out saying he's unfairly accused, right?
Yes, Honored Father.
It'll be a shame to cause an undeserved death.
So, instead of rushing the punishment,
we should try to uncover any motive.
The more I think about it, the more I am reminded of a past incident.
Past incident?
That time, Lee Kang Cheon and Yoo Eul Dam were competing.
Your mother collapsed from her allergy,
resulting in Yoo Eul Dam becoming a traitor.
And, that's how Lee Kang Cheon became the Head Ceramist.
But now, it's the opposite.
Ceramist Lee's son became a traitor
and Yoo Eul Dam's daughter became a ceramist.
The more I think about it, the odder it seems.
What I can tell you for now is that...
Jung is trying her best to reveal the truth.
She is fighting to reveal everything about Ceramist Lee.
Father, if you leave this matter to me,
I'll try to reveal everything including the past.
Why go through all that trouble?
My mother collapsed from that incident, didn't she?
As her son, it's a given I should try to uncover the truth.
It isn't any trouble, at all.
Please give me permission.
It's from a long time past.
Yoo Eul Dam is already dead. What could you possibly uncover?
I don't think these events are unrelated.
If that's what you really want,
then, do what you will.
Misunderstanding?
With the Prince's collapse, how can you say it's a misunderstanding?
It's a misunderstanding.
Although I was foolish and was tricked,
it was not intentional.
Please believe me, Your Highness.
Tricked?
How were you tricked and by whom?
The white clay for the Prince's bowl
was not mine, but Jung's.
It was something Teacher Moon told Jung.
Even the glaze used for the bowl was not mine,
but Yoo Jung's.
What are you saying?
Yoo Jung's clay and Yoo Jung's glaze? How is it you ended up with both?
In my greed to defeat Yoo Jung,
I swapped the ingredients.
I was foolish, Your Highness
Does a Bunwon ceramist only amount to this?
In order to win, steal and swap ingredients?!
I am regretting it deeply.
I am embarrassed and ashamed.
I want to die.
I think it might be better to die as a traitor.
I haven't been able to reveal this to anyone.
However,
why do you think I'm revealing all this?
This was all Yoo Jung's plan and intentions,
please reveal that.
If only I had not had such greed.
I can't believe your words.
Everything is true.
Please, arrest that girl immediately.
If you had played fair to begin with, this would never have happened
You're still guilty.
Whether or not you stole it...
It was still your bowl that made the Prince collapse.
And, that is unforgivable.
Your Highness, I will accept punishment for stealing the ingredients.
But, my life...
Please save my life.
Your Highness!
What could go wrong with investigating this case?
The problem is that Gwang Hae told His Majesty
that he'd also investigate into the incident with Gong Bin.
Why would he reopen a case from the past?
We can't drag this on.
We have to hurry with Ceramist Lee's case.
So that way Head Ceramist will quit and make no mistakes.
Rather, should we release Ceramist Lee
and instigate Lee Kang Cheon?
Forgive the man who did that to the prince?
Your Highness, Head Ceramist Lee is here to see you.
Let him in.
Your Highness, please accept this.
Is this not the ledger you were trying to use to threaten me?
You should have taken this to the King's Palace. Why are you here?
If I'm forced to go to the King's Palace,
at that time, It won't just be this ledger,
but something else that I'll have to report.
Something else?
I will reveal
how I came to know about Her Highness Gong Bin's illness.
What?
Look here, Ceramist Lee!
I have been loyal to you,
please don't push me aside.
Minister, did you hear what this man just said?
He said 'loyalty'.
You say let's all die together. Yet, you speak of loyalty?
You know why I'm like this, Your Highness.
Even if I have to put my life on the line, I am going to save my son.
Then, try it.
Isn’t everything dependent on the king’s will?
Will the King believe my words
or believe the sinner's father, you?
That's what I'm wondering.
So, go to the King and tell him.
Immediately.
Your Highness...
Please kill me.
How could I do that to you who have been so 'loyal'.
The body of the executed royal ceramist should be taken care of by you, right?
Your Highness...
Have you come, Father?
You may go now.
Yes.
It's true. It's really true you became the Head Merchant.
I told you so.
You still can't believe it?
Seeing you do well,
I finally feel relieved.
Why? Is there something you're worried about?
The atmosphere at BunWon is heavy.
I heard also.
How is the Head Ceramist doing?
It seems that he's running everywhere trying to save his son. But,
would it be that easy?
If working at BunWon is hard, clean it up and come home.
I'll take care of you now, Father.
I have the ability.
How can a ceramist live away from ceramics?
Enough of that, I have something about which I've been curious...
About the clay that Ceramist Lee used,
according to the people in the branch, did you get that for him?
It's better for you not to know, Father.
Is there something?
It's Jung Yi.
What do you mean Jung Yi?
He fell into Jung Yi's play without knowing.
Hwa Ryeong, you can't be like this.
How can you do that to Jung Yi?
You gave him the clay that Jung Yi asked for.
And now you're saying you were fooled by Jung Yi?!
Father...
Is that how you became the Head Merchant?
Throwing away your childhood friend, like a used rag, to leech off the rich?
Father!
Father, I'm you're daughter. How can you take Jung Yi's side?!
I'm not taking Jung Yi's side, I'm teaching you!
Even though I'm not a good father,
and although I handed you over,
I'm still your father! So I need to teach what needs to be taught!
Does Jung Yi know?
That you betrayed her and sided with Ceramist Lee?
I told you that Jung Yi planned it all out!
You gave the clay to him because you wanted to look good!
Ceramist Lee took the clay to win!
Why are you trying to put Jung Yi in this?!
Father, why are you always saying Jung Yi, Jung Yi too?!
Do you not know what kind of person Jung Yi is?!
In her greed to become a ceramist, she dressed as a man,
and changed her name!
That's something that couldn't be helped!
Head Ceramist Lee was still in the midst of BunWon.
What else would she do?!
If I think about those days,
it's so sad, it hurts my heart.
Do you know what she went through?!
If I hadn't told Head Ceramist Lee,
she would still boldly be pretending to be Tae Pyung!
Then... the person who told...
was you?
Father.
Were you here?
Ahjussi.
Why are you cleaning this room?
Just because. It was something I usually did.
I know you're doing this because you feel bad for Ceramist Lee.
That clay was clay you were going to use.
You don't need to feel bad.
It's his fault for wanting to win like that.
It's not at all your fault.
Jung!
Please go to the courtyard.
Prince Gwang Hae is investigating everyone at BunWon.
Jung, come here a second.
He asked directly
if anyone knew who made the glaze using peach blossoms back then.
His Highness did?
I told him the truth.
Everything, except your relationship with Yeon OK.
It's our turn.
What do I have to say if he asks about the clay?
Just tell him everything you know.
Would that be okay?
That you tried to procure the clay from the seashore?
I think something will happen if he knows that.
He'll find out anyway, so you can tell him.
For now, okay, Jung.
Your Majesty, why haven't you decreed a verdict yet?
Gwang Hae is currently still investigating.
Calm your heart and wait a little longer.
Your Majesty,
Do you think my heart is heavy only because of BunWon?
I am trying to protect my young and frail Prince.
You really don't know that?
We have to let everyone know that, if anyone even touches a hair on his head,
regardless of who it is, no one can avoid your wrath.
Didn't you promise you'd protect my Prince?
So that the Prince and I can spend our day with calm hearts.
Please help us.
I understand. I'll do that.
I will tell them to hurry the process.
Is Sang Sun there?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The person that you asked to get the clay and the person who made the glaze...
is you, Jung Yi?
Yes.
That is why Ceramist Lee is trying to blame you.
Saying that everything was your plan.
But, the person who used the clay and glaze is him.
I know how unbelievable his accusations are.
From picking out the clay, to predicting the Prince's collapse,
it's too complicated for someone to plan it all out.
It's too complex.
Do you have anything to say?
Will you let me meet the Prince?
Shin Seong?
Yes.
Whether or not there have been any problems using the medicine bowl,
I would like to meet him in person and ask.
Seeing you in such good health,
I'm very sorry and thankful.
Isn't it all due to the medicine bowl you made?
I was thinking of breaking it,
to try not breaking it, I'm using it very carefully.
Use it comfortably.
If you want, I'll remake it and give it to you.
I need to go meet the His Majesty, so continue conversing.
Honorable Father.
I was just about to visit you, Honored Father.
I just finished meeting with the people, in BunWon, for the investigation.
Your valiant efforts are a little late.
His Majesty has already ordered punishment by beheading.
What?
Is that true?
Tomorrow, beheading will take place.
Honored Father, didn't you order me to reveal the truth?
Why did you make the decision before listening to my findings?
Prince Gwang Hae.
What is there to reveal when his crimes are clear as day?
Honorable Father.
It's undeniable that Price Shin Seong collapsed due to his bowl.
Even after hurting someone from the Royal Family,
if he is released in one piece and goes about as he pleases,
what guarantee is there that a similar incident will not happen again?
In order to emphasize the stringency of the Law of the Royal Court and to ensure it doesn't happen again,
I will make an example of him. That is my decision.
Criminal Lee Yook Do, you are to receive the Royal Command!
Although your skills are exceptional, you did not use your skill appropriately, but used it in greed.
Tomorrow at the 8th hour (1:00 p.m.),
you will be beheaded.
Please..
Please allow me to meet His Majesty.
How can this...
How can this be happening?
Look here!
Please let me
meet my father, the Head Chief of Bunwon.
Please, I beg you!
Look here!
Look!
Punishment by beheading?
Beheading?
Beheading??
Please...let me in... Please... Please...
Please let me in!
No one is allowed to enter!
Yook Do! Yook Do!
YOOK DO!!
Stand back!
Yook Do...
Yook Do!
Yook Do.
Yook Do...
Is it true that he will be beheaded tomorrow?
Are you aware of it?
I heard.
I'm not sure about other people, but I know.
You are trying to have the Royal Ceramist Lee killed in order to take revenge on Head Chief Lee, right?
A person is about to die because of you.
How can you be so calm?
You are really something!
You say that you consider me your friend.
And you used me, who is your friend, for this.
You took advantage of my relationship with Royal Ceramist Lee for your revenge!
And still, you are not affected at all?
The Royal Ceramist Lee...
He only looked to me.
Such a man is about to die because of me. Are you trying to lay that guilt on me for the rest of my life?
Is that it?
I saw Head Ceramist in front of the prison.
That strong man has caved and is crying.
If Ceramist Lee dies, Head Ceramist won't be able to handle it.
He's not the type of person who can survive without his son.
Is that the revenge you wanted?
If you really feel bad about Ceramist Lee's death,
go and reveal it.
That the clay
was something I was trying to get ahold of.
That you tricked me
and gave it to Ceramist Lee.
Fine.
I want to do that.
That everything was your plan.
I want to run to the police right now!
But, as the Head Merchant,
in case our company is affected, I can't.
Wasn't that also part of your plan?
Be careful on the way home.
Just because you're sitting here, do you think you can save his life?
Your Highness...
You are this nation's true son.
After his Majesty, you are the next true ruler.
Please.. please...
Save Yook Do.
That strength,
why are you only realizing it now?
You should have come to me earlier.
It is too late to save Ceramist Lee.
You should just worry about yourself now.
Let me meet Yook Do
for the last time...
For the last time...
Once more. Let me see him once more, Your Highness
Your Highness...
Before that, I have something to ask Ceramist Lee.
If this goes well, I will allow you two to meet, so
wait here.
Your Highness...
Your Highness!
Yook Do...
You have lost your mind.
Your Highness.
Sit comfortably.
You're going to die soon anyway. Why care about respect.
It's unjust.
How could I have...
How many people confess their crimes when locked up in jail?
Your Highness.
I saw your father on the way in.
He has lost the arrogance of his Chief Ceramist days
He has lost all composure and can barely hold himself up.
It is very sad indeed.
You mean my father?
He is a traitor's father, right?
Rightfully so.
Why do you have that expression?
Did you not see this coming?
After you have been executed,
did you not think it would be your father next?
Of course, he would have to relieve himself of the chief ceramist position.
But Chief Ceramist Lee, who is ultimately responsible for everything, will be able to keep his life.
That is worrisome.
How...
How, even my father...
If you listen to me,
I will guarantee your father's life.
Will you follow my bidding?
When tomorrow comes, I will be executed.
What can I do?
Blame it all on
Gwang Hae.
Say that he told you about Prince Shin Seong's illness.
That he threatened to remove you from your post if you didn't make the ceramic dish he requested.
That all of this was Gwang Hae's doing.
That is what I want you to say.
What?
Then your father will be fine.
Brother!
I'm in the middle of interrogating, so no one should have been allowed in.
How can prison protocol be so loose?!
Brother!
what is the reason for doing all this?
A sibling like me is just a thorn to you?!
I don't have any feelings one way or another, but
you have to be gone so that I can be the crowned prince.
I am heart-broken as your brother. But,
as the eldest son, it's our custom and
for our people, and
for our country.
Do you think
you have the right?
What?
Push me out of the way to become the crown prince
and inherit the throne?
What is it that you are trying to do?
What kind of king are you trying to be?!
Do you remember mother's face?
I also can't remember mother's face?
But,
I can't forget mother's cold hands
that use to rub my head.
Mother's hands and feet were always cold and she always got cold easily.
I heard the Royal Doctors were running around everywhere.
When I rise to the Throne,
wouldn't I, at least, be able to warm the heart of Honored Mother?
I will honor her with a posthumous title of Gong Seong Hwang Hu.
Appoint her grave to Seon Neung,
and move her honored body to the Royal grave site.
Also, honor her as the Royal Queen that she rightfully deserves.
As King, I will definitely do so.
I, too, will do so.
Why would you think that only you have that dream?
Even when I got lazy with studies...
Even when I felt the position of prince was so frustrating,
I would think of Honored Mother. Then I wouldn't be lax at all, even for a moment.
That's the way I've lived.
I've always thought that Honored Mother was watching over me.
I tried my best so that I would not be a shameful son.
Are you saying that I am a shameful son?
You know it better than anyone how you've lived your life.
Even in consideration of Honored Mother, who is watching over us...
Also, in consideration of this country's Royal Family and the people...
And, especially the well-being of this country, I will not back down now.
The dream you harbored inside! That dream is now mine.
I guess this will be the last time I will see you.
It was a long time ago.
But I have a memory of you that I still hold.
What are you doing?
I was looking at the ritual ceramic ware made by elder Yoo Eul Dam.
I learned that 'the Royal Ceramic Ware is creating jade out of clay.'
"That way,
the sophistication of the user will also rise."
Is this what you learned?
Yes.
However, when I look at the ware made by elder, Yoo Eul Dam...
Arrogance disappears.
Things, such as authority and sophistication, become nothing.
Don't you think so?
That's exactly it.
You must have a lot to think about. As a chief, who will head the Bunwon,
you can't disregard sophistication. Yet, at the same time, ignore such thoughts.
Since you understand how I am feeling, I am truly humbled by your grace.
Not at all.
I am also moved and thankful by your troubled heart in thinking of the royal ceramic ware.
I will leave you alone, so you can look at them as you please.
I had no idea that you would remember me,
from back then.
At one time,
I thought I knew you better than anyone else.
Didn't you used to only think of ceramics and agonized over ceramics?
That there was such a time for Your Highness and me,
I had forgotten about it for a long time.
To think of losing you, who used to be that way...
I am very saddened.
I will forget about the last mistake you made.
I will only remember the ceramist, who
only thought of ceramics and moved forward.
Your Majesty.
All this is my responsibility as the Head Chief,
and my sin as a father.
Please save Royal Ceramist Lee's life
and punish me instead, Your Majesty.
Please withdraw your order to punish him by beheading.
As a father, I will take the punishment in his place, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty. The Head Chief is pleading in front of the palace,
to accept the punishment instead.
It's obvious he would do so since he's a father.
After the punishment is carried out, he will give up and go away. Tell them to carry out the punishment quickly.
Hey, hey!
Stop it!
- Hey! Hey! - Don't!
You traitor....
Punish the traitor by beheading!
Yook Do!
No, no, no, no...
Yook Do!
Whoa...
Stop!
Stop there.
It's the Royal Command. Stop the punishment!
Yook Do.
Yook Do. Yook Do. Yook Do.
Father...
You have been saved, Yook Do.
Yook Do.
Father...
Yes... Yook Do...
It is the royal command that he be moved to the interrogation area.
Stand back!
What...
Yook Do!
Yook Do! Yook Do!
Yook Do! Yook Do! Yook Do!
Your Majesty.
All of this is
my fault as the Chief Ceramist.
Punish me,
please.
Prince Shin Seong collapsed while using your ceramics.
I have an urgent meeting with His Majesty, so continue your conversation.
Did you have any discomfort while using the ceramic?
I don't know about discomfort. But, perhaps because of my feelings, the medicine tasted less bitter.
It's probably because of the glazing material.
Glazing material?
Your Highness,
Actually, I have a favor to ask of you is why I have asked to meet you.
What is it? Ask.
Tomorrow morning, when you go to greet your father...
You look better now.
Since I have been taking the medication from the ceramic dish I received,
my body seems to be responding well.
Changing one dish won't have made any difference.
It's probably just your feelings.
I even collapsed from taking medication in a dish that was ill-made.
I believe that this ceramic dish
is helping my health for sure.
Right, with such a belief, have a speedy recovery and
show your healthy self.
That would be the best thing for you to do for your mother and me, both.
I heard that there is a special secret to making that ceramic dish.
What do you mean special secret?
What did they say it is? I am very curious.
Will you listen for yourself?
I heard this dish has a special secret.
What is it?
When I was making that ceramic dish,
I only had one wish. And, that was for Prince Shin Seong to recover well.
I made it with profound earnestness.
I barely found the white clay from Mt. Gaebang where wild ginseng grows.
Drew water from where jade is found.
And, kneaded the clay with water filtered with jade.
Also in making the glazing material,
in order for the Prince to taste less of the medicine's bitterness,
I produced lye using ashes from angelica root and licorice.
I also simmered herbal medicines that are good for the body
and used it with filtered water.
Oh ho.
Is that how much you have dedicated?
Indeed, you are praiseworthy.
From today onward,
I will also use this.
The sensation of how my hands wrap around it really feels good.
However, Your Majesty,
I did not originally plan on using that clay.
The white clay I first wanted to use was...
I'm sorry to inform you.
It was the white clay from the mudflat that the Royal Ceramist used.
What?
Then, you too...
could have been a traitor?
I had learned that since the clay from mudflats are very fine, it
is excellent for filtering out harmful elements and may be the best clay to use
when making a ceramic medicine bowl.
Therefore, I tried to get that clay.
But I could not find any, so
I had to use the clay from Mt. Gaebang instead.
Why are you revealing this now?
I found out later that
the Royal Ceramist used the clay that I, first, wanted to use.
What do you mean by that?
Your Majesty,
when I interrogated Royal Ceramist Lee,
he confessed that he had
intercepted Yoo Jung's clay.
Is what you say true?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He had an overwhelming desire to win and
he did not have any previous knowledge of Prince Shin Seong's illness.
Please don't execute him.
That pathetic human being!
And, I thought of him as worthy of being Chief Ceramist?
He fell victim to his own treachery,
so let him die.
Your Majesty.
If Royal Ceramist is executed,
I will live rest of my life in self-loathing
because I was the one trying to get that clay first.
Please,
stop the execution.
I heard the whole story
from the person who made this ceramic dish.
The person, who I thought was worthy of becoming the Chief Ceramist,
could do such a amateurish thing with just a menial worker as a competitor.
Chief Ceramist Lee.
How did you raise your child?!
Did you use your position as the Chief Ceramist
to give the Royal Ceramist position to someone who doesn't even have any talent?
Your Majesty,
Royal Ceramist Lee did make a grave mistake for sure,
but his skills and taste..
You know them well.
Can't you shut up!
Have you not learned still?
I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
You too, as the chief ceramist,
have to take responsibility for this incident.
What are you going to do now?
I can't stop at this point.
I have not been able to reveal anything yet.
The person who killed my parents,
the Chief Ceramist Lee,
is still well.
Lay down. You have to recover your body first.
All this is because of me.
I don't know what punishment His Majesty will decide on, but
I will leave the Bunwon.
I have lost the reputation I have built as a ceramist,
so my career as a ceramist is also over.
I wanted to become
Chief Ceramist like you, but
I'm embarrassed.
Yook Do,
That is just what that girl, Yoo Jung,
is hoping for.
It know you are too ashamed
to bear it.
But you must endure it.
What that girl, Yoo Jung, intends to do,
you must recall all of it.
When it was discovered that she was a girl
and she was kicked out of Bunwon...
When it was discovered she was Yoo Eul Dam's daughter and was spurned...
Even when she lost her sight,
she endured it until the end.
Yoo Jung, that girl...
What does she have against me to set me up like this?
Not you,
she is after me.
What?
In the past, when there was a competition for chief ceramist position,
the glaze Yoo Eul Dam used...
Truth is
I used my influence
to cause Yoo Eul Dam to make the ceramic dish that way.
Yoo Jung, that girl, is taking revenge on us
just as what had happened to her father.
The reason I'm telling you this now is
to let you know what type of opponent
your enemy is.
She had waited for the right time,
then she pulled you into the competition.
She put us in
this hellish situation.
If that's true,
why did she save me
from execution?
Probably,
she has other pans.
Frankly,
I was more startled
when I heard she stopped your execution
than when I heard she deceived you into becoming a traitor.
She was able to move
His Majesty's heart...
Yoo Jung, that girl, is trying to take revenge,
even at the cost of her life.
I will follow you, Father.
I will take any abuse,
and I will be by your side.
I will also repay her,
as I have received from her.
Don't think of anything.
For now,
just rest.
The time for you to repay me
is coming near.
Hide your self well,
so no one sees you.
Your child, that you tried to killed, has survived
and is trying to bring you down.
That is your karma.
No matter the abuse, you must stay in Bunwon.
If you don't,
you won't even get a chance to take revenge.
We will go first.
Oh,
Do you think you have saved me?
I only revealed the truth.
How could I have saved or killed your royal ceramist?
I am already dead.
Not when I would have been executed, but
when I fell into your plan and lost my reputation as a ceramist.
When I had to confess that I had stolen the clay from a menial worker like you...
That I had stolen the glaze...
That was when I had died.
Therefore,
you have not saved me, but
killed me.
Through this incident,
I had hoped you would learn the truth.
What kind of person your father really is.
You, who have inherited that blood line,
to the extent you would be willing to go in order to win.
I had hoped you would realize on your own.
It's turned out the way you wanted it to.
You have made me like this.
From now on,
as long as I can win over you,
I can do anything.
I'm sorry, but
you are not my enemy.
I will not pull you into it anymore, so
move aside.
Preview
I think there will be a big change in Bunwon.
How would you feel about being appointed chief ceramist?
I will never forget today's hell.
I will visit you shortly
with that ceramist.
Jung, I need you to come back to me as a close friend.
Why won't these fighters even attack?
They tried to kidnap a ceramist?
I cannot forgive this.
Watching over you, I also have developed a goal.
I will strengthen our country. How I carry out my vision
I wish you can watch over it next to me.
As the first woman ceramist of this country, I will work harder not to be an embarrassment.
