Who are you?
Move aside.
Do I have to move if you say so?
I have to?
You are very rude.
Call Mistress Hong here right away.
Mistress Hong?
A nice, rich lady like yourself should know to have some fear.
Miss, you should get going while you still can.
Hey, who are you?
Why don't you use words?
Oh my!
It was that guy.
No.
I think there's a small misunderstanding.
You people dare to touch the nose of a sleeping tiger?
Oh! What's this?
What is this?
You must be fearless to come in...
Oh, it's you, miss.
Where is Teacher?
He's over there.
Wow, it really is big.
It should be at least this large so I can demonstrate my talents.
Don't you agree?
Do you know each other?
No, we do not!
We met just a while ago, so we do.
Why does a refined looking girl like you have such rough hands?
I apologize, Teacher.
Of course, it would be dangerous for a girl to be going around on her own.
Teacher?
So this is who teaches you how to gamble and play cards?
Goodness, a young lady ought to think of marriage.
Why bother learning cards?
And you should be learning from a skilled professional like me.
This man is old and the look in his eyes is a bit...
Oh?
This should usually be switched.
So...
Why don't we have a drink?
When it comes to alcohol, I am always in.
If you have no further business...
Business? I do have business.
Today, I've decided that she is to become my wife.
You scoundrel!
You all may not realize it, but I can tell by looking.
I knew at first sight!
You will be my wife.
Do you want to die?
Ah, sit down.
He is merely a boy having a good time.
I apologize.
I had fun thanks to you.
Follow me.
If the lady is leaving, then I should go too.
Ouch, that's hot!
Hey, you young kid. Do you want to get married?
Then...
you should cover the payment first.
You must be mistaken about something. They are paying for it.
Ow!
This was eaten by your "wife."
This is yours.
Does this cover it?
I'm spending a lot today since I met my soulmate.
You don't need to feel burdened.
Looking at your state, you'll be going to your funeral before your wedding.
Don't feel too bad about it.
I will give you money for your trip to the underworld.
It's not the king or officials that change the world.
It is gold.
Right here.
It is money.
From now on, you will be responsible for it, Dam Seo.
Yes, Teacher.
You were eating an awful lot of food. I guess your life is long.
Death himself will die before you as he takes you to the underworld.
We were having fun but Lord Yi showed up.
Let him up.
So, you're a gambler who's been traveling the eight cities?
Try guessing this.
Will it be front or back?
Front.
Are you confident of that?
I will bet my hand on that.
You'll bet your hand on merely one nyang?
If I'm wrong, I will become your servant.
You are quite a guy.
What is your name?
My name?
Well, my name is...
My name is...
Gae Ddong.
What? Gae Ddong?
Is that a name for a person?
Let him go.
I will.
- Thank you. - Wait.
Someone who knows the value of one nyang is a true card shark.
Anyhow, you are now Gae Ddong's wife.
Don't get any other ideas.
Mistress Hong?
Yes, Lord.
Do you still think this gambling room belongs to you?
I have some thoughts about that.
It belongs to you.
Alcohol.
Have I run out of alcohol?
What are you doing? Where's my alcohol?
Have you swallowed a firepot?
You look like you'll spit fire out of your mouth.
What did you say?
What are you going to do by glaring at me?
Why, you...
Take care of the payment.
Sir?
Sorry about that.
Put down your money.
1 nyang gets you 2 nyang and 10 nyang gets you 20 nyang.
All right, all right.
Look!
Here you go.
If you get it correct, you get double your money.
If you get it wrong, you lose everything.
Make your choice.
I do not think it's that one.
You're drunk this early in the day.
Mind your own business.
Gambling is a game of luck and momentum.
I have a lot of both luck and momentum.
Since you met me, I suppose you do have a lot of luck.
What are you talking about?
Here...
What is this!
Reveal these two first.
What is it?
Should I reveal them for you?
Since they are both empty, I must have chosen the correct one.
What? Am I wrong?
Then you can open this one too.
Double the return.
Thank you.
By the looks of it, all you've got is your physical body.
So you should save every nyang you have.
So, is he living recklessly as the rumors suggest?
Yes, he drinks during the day, swindles people, and even gets into fights.
However, the intelligent look in his eyes is still there.
I think I should see him with my own two eyes.
Grandpa, what's with you?
Gosh.
Why am I hallucinating?
Gosh, no.
Hold it well.
Like this.
So... be my wife, would you?
Well, will you be my wife?
Have you been following me?
Am I a dog or something? Why would I follow you?
Your hand.
On your left, it was the palm.
On the right, it was calloused skin on the thumb and index.
I concluded that you enjoyed shooting arrows.
And you're a lady of a young age.
Then what else could you be?
Are you anything besides the shooting teacher of other young ladies?
Do not bother me anymore.
Can you tell me your name or how to reach you?
I brought you a flower.
Next time, it will be your throat.
Gosh, why is she so pretty when she's angry?
Oh my! I've never seen you before.
Ah, you must be a palanquin driver.
Come with me. I'll make you feel good tonight.
But I don't really have money...
Come on!
We know that palanquin workers get paid plenty.
Don't be like that and come with us.
What? Oh!
Why are you in such a foul mood?
Did something bad happen?
No, what do you mean foul mood?
Let's get drinking.
Sit down.
Come on and sit.
Don't be so shy.
Oh my! Look at your biceps.
You must have really worked hard on those palanquins.
Oh my! Look at those thighs.
Why are you touching my legs?
I want to thank you all for visiting the Wolhyanggak.
We've prepared a special performance for you.
Please enjoy it.
Yeoning will be at the Wolhyanggak today.
I want you to show your face to him.
Get over here.
I'm glad to see you again!
Is it you again?
Who do you think you're looking at like that?
Do you want to lose those eyeballs?
Is that woman your intended?
What?
She is! She is my intended.
She's going to be my wife, so don't pay attention to her.
Don't show up in front of her.
What will you do if I do show up?
You two must have lost your reasoning due to my girl's beauty.
If you really desire her so much, why not do this?
The person with the lower number will win.
And the winner will get her company tonight.
Sounds good.
But a win without the risk of a loss is not a win at all.
I don't want to say this twice.
How about we take off our clothes? Down to our underwear.
I like it.
A man's word is as good as a bond.
Once I'm in, I'm in.
Wow! Look at that.
Didn't I tell you?
I'm a professional gambler.
Professional gambler?
We said it would the smaller of the two that would win, right?
There is nothing there, so I win.
What is this? This is nonsense.
There was one rule: that the smaller number would win.
You will not go back on your word, will you?
Take it all off down to your underwear.
Ah, I could not pay for such entertainment.
But you should have just drank.
You made a bet with a person on the line.
This happens to break the nation's law.
Yeoning, Your Majesty.
Is it you again?
Do you know me?
You dig into my background like a rat, so how could I not know?
Yi In Jwa.
What a coincidence.
There was a rat hanging around my gambling games.
So I've been racking my brain.
Your Majesty, what should we do?
While you have betting away
it just so happened that the police chief showed up.
Forgive me for this rudeness, Your Highness.
Come on out if you're done drinking!
Yes!
Move out of the way.
Out of the way.
Are you... planning to arrest me?
How could I dare to arrest you?
But these people who broke the law won't be able to avoid punishment.
Though the law may be strict...
I was only enjoying a show.
You can look the other way this once.
If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I could.
Forgive me, Majesty.
Wait!
Hold on there.
This girl has done nothing wrong.
Nothing wrong?
Isn't it true?
I'm the one who bet on her.
I'm also the one who took off my clothes.
How can you say she committed a crime?
You are out of line.
She was in a place full of men and women, disregarding her status.
It is the law to punish all those that participate in gambling.
Then I will receive the punishment that she is to receive.
Even for healthy males, a paddling of 30 can disable or kill you.
It doesn't matter.
All right, I will make your wish come true.
Take him.
Why did you not warn me?
If I had given you a warning, what would have changed?
Because of me, someone is getting punished.
I suppose that, in itself, is fate.
And destiny.
You... come see me.
Did you plan this because of me?
I did not do this to put you in danger.
I think you may be trusting my brother too much and being too aggressive.
I wanted to confirm something.
I was curious about the rumors about you.
They say you drink during the day and you're consumed by women at night.
So you have no interest or ambition in the current state of things.
So?
Did you find anything out?
Rain is falling.
You should get going before it gets any worse.
What did you see?
He is a tiger.
And it's two tigers, not just one.
I was surprised as well.
I did not think he'd have the same image as you, Lord.
It can't be...
Are you saying he has the image of a rebellious subject?
28!
I'm Gae Ddong.
I won't die.
29!
I said I am Gae Ddong!
30!
Gosh, I thought you left me behind.
Dam Seo.
What?
My name.
Oh, Dam Seo.
This is like fate too.
Hey, wait.
What are you doing?
Take this.
I'm healthy so I don't need this.
Watch me.
Are you stupid?
Why would you sacrifice your body like that?
Do you think anyone will acknowledge you for that?
I was just...
No matter how much you try, no one will acknowledge you.
You will never get away from the palanquin.
That's the lowly life you lead.
I...
I only need one person to acknowledge me.
One person.
The person who will become my wife.
What's wrong with him?
What's wrong with your butt? Did you get a paddling somewhere?
You rascal!
You got into trouble as soon as you got into Hanyang.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Gae Ddong! Hey, Gae Ddong!
Where are you going?
Go get him.
Gae Ddong?
Gae Ddong, hey!
Dad, why am I Gae Ddong?
Come out of there.
I asked you why I'm Gae Ddong.
You said I was noble.
So why?
So why am I a simpleton?
Why am I no better than a beggar?
Why?
It's a hit!
Have you any problems lately, Crown Prince?
No.
It is all thanks to you.
What brings you here today?
I wanted to meet the king today.
And give you someone to talk to.
You plan on meeting Father?
All you will need to do is shoot arrows with me here.
He is my Baduk teacher.
Baduk teacher?
I am Yi In Jwa.
Your Majesty.
May I dare to suggest a game of Baduk?
A game of Baduk?
Yes, Sire.
I will give you a head start of 10 points.
10 points?
It seems you have something to speak to me about.
You have no fear.
Even when facing the nation's king, you have no fear.
You do not waver.
It's as if you are going to become a king.
How could I possibly?
Former ministers Yi Eui Jin and Yi Won Jing.
They are your grandparents?
Why? Did you think I did not know?
Baduk teacher is a good cover
but you are hiding behind the weak prince.
Are you not trying to play everyone?
How could I possibly? That is not possible, Sire.
You must resent me.
No.
Do you want to kill me?
I am the cause of the ruin of your family.
I did that.
Sire.
Those that were invested only in their own interests...
Those preoccupied with fights between political parties...
How could you not have taken decisive action against such officials?
I do not resent.
During the Years of Monkey, Snake, and Dog
three national issues returned each year.
You made wise decisions on behalf of the people of Joseon.
Lift your head.
You truly mean that.
The look in your eyes is sincere.
Why did you use Baduk to sit here with me?
Your Majesty.
You already know the answer.
Why are you holding back on it?
I am referring to the succession of your power.
Well, then... let me hear your insight.
If you bring up the succession
there will be backlash from administration in the north.
If you do it, the unhappiness of the south will weigh heavy.
However, let me dare to inform you.
You cannot stop flowing water with your hand.
A bank cannot stop a flowing river.
The Crown Prince's succession will flow and it is a reality.
Why do you worry needlessly?
Worry needlessly?
Is that so?
That is very simple.
But you...
Do you know about the beast with 100 eyes and 1,000 ears?
Are you speaking of the beast that pours rain and eats human flesh?
So you know.
Perhaps you...
Do you want to be that beast?
You are mistaken, Your Majesty.
I am merely a teacher of the Crown Prince.
I am nothing more and nothing less.
I am nothing.
Is that so?
Then you must not have any interest in politics.
Yes, Sire.
How could a small person like me aspire to be in politics?
How did it go?
Do you know about the beast with 100 eyes and 1,000 ears?
Pardon?
You are drunk day and night involved with gambling, women, and fighting.
Are you not even embarrassed as the king's son?
- How can you be such a delinquent? - Yes, I am one.
So what if I am a delinquent and so what if I am a womanizer?
Whether I live this way or that way, what is the difference?
Even you, Mother...
you should no longer care about me.
Mother...
Stay inside the palace and be cautious for the time being.
This is punishment from your mother.
We worked so hard to save that.
Dad, what is all this?
What do you think?
It's money to turn you into a noble.
A no... noble?
Oh it's hot, hot, hot!
Let's check the temperature of the water.
This is very strange.
Don't make a fuss.
Are you shy? Between a father and son?
Stop saying nonsense and take it off.
I said I'll do it myself.
It will take all night to get 20 years of grime off.
Take it off.
What are you doing?
You're the size of a cow, but you sure complain a lot.
All right, all right.
- Come here. - I told you not to hit my butt.
Come here, come here.
I'm going to splash you.
Am I done?
Wow!
- Let me see. Turn around. - How is it?
Wow, I like it.
- Turn around. - Like this?
Your looks are great but the clothes give you wings.
What are you saying? My looks give me wings.
Turn around again.
Dad.
If I'm a nobleman now, shouldn't I have a suitable name?
- A suitable name? - Yes.
You have one, of course.
In the family genealogy.
The family genealogy...
What good is it if they stick all this on there?
They're all just empty rice cakes.
It's not like he's my husband or anything.
Why am I hallucinating?
This place looks the same as always.
You look the same too.
Is it really you, Man Geum?
You and I aren't in a really great relationship or anything.
What brings you to me?
I've had my share of money.
I've slept in warm places too.
And so?
Only one thing was bothering me.
My family's genealogy.
Isn't a noble family's genealogy worth money?
- You can't take that. - Stay put!
You can't have that, not the genealogy!
But why are you looking for that now?
Oh, my kid. I have a kid.
Oh, that little baby?
But what do I do? It's not here right now.
Ah, do you have 300 nyang?
If you have that much, I can help you out.
The family genealogy? Is this really it?
It is, isn't it? It is!
From now on, your name is Dae Gil.
Baek Dae Gil.
Baek from Nampo, 13th generation.
Baek Dae Gil.
Dae Gil? Baek Dae Gil?
I am no longer Gae Ddong.
I'm a nobleman, a nobleman.
- I'm a nobleman now! - Dae Gil.
A Nampo Baek, 13th generation. Baek Dae Gil.
Sukbin's child?
That boy Gae Ddong is Baek Man Geum's son?
Yes, he even bought back his family's genealogy.
You cannot guess what destiny will throw in your way.
Are you there, Dam Seo?
With the death of one young man tonight
you will take the first step in the great plan we've been working on.
Dam Seo, you will initiate our great plan yourself.
Lord, accept a drink from me.
Give me a drink.
Oh, Lord? Your name is...
By the looks of you, it can't be Gae Ddong.
It is Baek Dae Gil.
Baek Dae Gil! Lord Baek Dae Gil. Lord Baek Dae Gil.
Lord, you're a Nampo Baek and which generation are you?
I've forgotten that.
It's the 13th generation!
13!
Nampo Baek and 13th generation. Baek Dae Gil!
Lord, Lord, Lord!
- What's this... - The moon sure is bright.
Man Geum, you won't have trouble finding your way to the underworld.
What are you doing here at this hour?
I do feel a little bad about this.
Don't resent me for this.
I'll bury you in a sunny place.
You sure are saying a lot of crap.
Today is a really good day, okay?
So don't bother us here and just leave, all right?
I do feel bad about it, but what can I do?
On a good day like this
you want to taste this nobleman, Dae Gil's, fists?
- Dae Gil... - Dae Gil!
Ow. Next time, don't step forward.
You brought the knife out first.
Don't resent me for this.
Hong Mae! Oh my!
Let's leave Hanyang.
We have no business here.
You can never kill Baek Dae Gil.
What the hell is he saying?
I just got hit like this and I'm supposed to let it go?
Get your weapons!
I'm going to see this through until the end.
Where is he?
There... over there!
Let's go.
Over this way.
Are you okay, Gae Ddong? Are you okay?
I'm fine. It's not like I'll die.
If I die here, I'm not your son.
Okay, you'll live.
You can do anything if you live.
Gae Ddong, let's get going.
Stop saying nonsense and let's go!
There's the boat! Get in there.
Push.
Let's go. Let's go. Push!
Shoot him.
But...
Are you wavering?
Have you already developed feelings?
That's not it.
Anyhow, you are now Gae Ddong's wife.
Don't get any other ideas.
I...
I only need one person to acknowledge me.
One person.
The person who will become my wife.
Teacher, I...
Hurry, hurry.
Someday, the child will come into my hands.
Gae Ddong.
What do you mean Gae Ddong?
I said I'm Dae Gil. Baek Dae Gil.
How many times do I have to tell you?
What are you doing?
Dad...
Dad!
Man Geum!
Dad, Dad!
What is this? What happened!
Man Geum!
Gae Ddong...
Listen to me right now.
Listen to what?
Get in here. Just get on the boat for now. Get...
Hey, you rascal! These are my last words.
Listen to your dad.
What do you mean last? You're not dying.
I said you're not dying!
If you don't want to become like your dad, stop gambling.
And go far away to a small town.
Don't think about revenge and just live there.
- Okay? Just go. - No.
I'm going to live with you, Dad. I'm going to live with you until I die!
Come in here! Climb in!
We'll get you!
Man Geum, stay there.
Stop. I said stop!
Stop! Get them.
Grandpa!
