[One year later] .
[One year later] I'm preparing in advance
what needs to be thrown out.
You can help us take care of the trash that day?
Yes, yes. Then call me.
8 o'clock, yes.
Bye.
There's not one thing worth keeping, not one.
[Hee Jin]
Hello?
Hey, don't throw that tea set away.
I already tossed it out.
I knew you would, that's why I'm calling.
Don't throw it out, seriously.
Hey, I've never once seen you use that cup to drink tea.
You don't even use it.
I'm going to use it.
I'm going to use it; I was just saving it for after we move.
- Save it. - I got it, I got it.
You better save it; otherwise, I'm going to be really mad.
Just focus on your poster shoot.
You're focusing on such useless things.
Hello?
I should be at home too.
Are you moving to a new place?
Huh? Yes.
It's my first time buying a place. I'm moving.
Wow, that's great.
Well, you've probably earned quite a bit of money.
In the past year, I saw you in a bunch of CFs.
Oh, well, my appearance fee is very low, so I didn't make much money.
Boss, you have a call.
Please excuse me.
[Yang Min Hyuk]
Yes, Director?
Hee Jin, have you been well?
Yes! What about you?
I'm always really busy.
I'm calling because I have a favor to ask.
What is it?
A colleague from the Dept. of Education
has been pestering me to contact you about a program.
Could you do a narration for him once?
Narration?
He insists that it has to be you.
He says if you don't do it, then he won't be able to produce it.
How could that be?
It doesn't make sense that it can't be produced if I don't agree to do it.
Thanks for agreeing to my request.
Since the director asked a favor, of course I'll do it.
But, why did it have to be me?
Oh, yes. It's a program called "Untold Stories of History."
It's a documentary about the untold stories
of historical figures who have been hidden in history.
I've watched a few of them.
Well, the title of this special is "Queen In Hyun's Man."
Queen In Hyun's Man?
[Documentary - Untold Stories of History Queen In Hyun's Man Episode 28]
But what is the meaning of Queen In Hyun's Man?
Have you never heard the rumor that Queen In Hyun had a lover?
Really?
When I filmed the drama, there was nothing about that.
It's just a little side story so it was left out.
It's only briefly mentioned in The Annals.
But last month, very interesting evidence was uncovered.
I want to do a good job producing this.
I'm counting on you.
Yes, I understand.
[Episode 28 Queen In Hyun's Man]
Are we late?
I already called and told them we'd be 30 minutes late.
[Episode 28 Queen In Hyun's Man] .
[Episode 28 Queen In Hyun's Man] Queen In Hyun's Man...
1694, 20th year of Sukjong's reign.
In the records of The Annals for the 5th month, there's an interesting topic.
At that time, Hongmungwan's Official Kim Boong Do of the Seo-in faction
was rumored to have come and gone...
from the queen's private quarters while she was in exile.
This rumor spread amongst the citizens.
Kim Boong Do?
This is the first time I've heard that name.
He wasn't in the drama scripts.
Kim Boong Do.
I'm so tired.
Oh, I'm about to die.
You're back?
Hey, what was that earlier?
What do you mean you're doing the narration on a documentary?
Did you go see him?
I'm going over the information now.
Why did you agree to do it?
It's a waste of time.
It sounds interesting.
The topic is Queen In Hyun's Man.
[Queen In Hyun's Man] The topic is Queen In Hyun's Man.
It's not Consort Jang's Man.
Doesn't that sound interesting?
Queen In Hyun's Man?
Wasn't Queen In Hyun's man Sukjong?
Nope. Listen to this.
The minister of personnel at that time had a son.
His name was Kim Boong Do.
This man was Queen In Hyun's man.
It is said that when Queen In Hyun was deposed and removed from the palace,
she fell in love with this man.
This news eventually reached King Sukjong's ears.
Really?
It's true.
Thus, King Sukjong brought Kim Boong Do in for questioning
and then he died.
But, after he died, it was found to be untrue.
He was framed.
In the end it was classified as a wrongful death, a result of unfounded slander.
That's what's recorded in The Annals.
That's unfortunate.
But, this documentary begins after that.
It gets interesting from here.
In The Annals, this person's death is clearly recorded,
but there's also a record indicating he was still alive after that,
which just recently surfaced.
[Memorandum] .
[Memorandum] It was Chief State Councilor at the time,
Nam Man Gu's descendant
who publicly revealed Nam Gu Man's memorandum last month.
In it,
there's a record of Nam Gu Man sighting Kim Boong Do still alive.
What does that mean?
While out patrolling the border lands, Nam Gu Man happened to encounter him.
He saw the Kim Boong Do everyone thought was already deceased.
That was one year after his death was recorded in The Annals.
It seems everyone is tired.
Let us find a tavern and rest before we continue.
[1695, 5th month, Pyongan Province, Uiju] Yes, Your Excellency.
[1695, 5th month, Pyongan Province, Uiju] .
[1695, 5th month, Pyongan Province, Uiju] The taverns here are too squalid.
It matters not. Find one in the vicinity.
Yes, Your Excellency.
[The Chief State Councilor Nam Gu Man] Yes, Your Excellency.
[The Chief State Councilor Nam Gu Man] .
Please be seated inside.
There is no need. It is refreshing here.
Is there a place I may wash my hands?
I will bring water, Sir.
Where is it?
Aigoo.
Are you fine?
One moment please.
One moment.
You bear strong resemblance to someone I know.
Hey, you!
Is something the matter?
What is the meaning of this? I have seen a deceased person.
Pardon?
Go in pursuit of the man who just fled.
Discover where he resides and his name.
Yes, Your Excellency.
A tall man with rather short hair.
Ah, he is in that room.
He has been staying there for five days thereabouts.
I say, did you know it was the chief state councilor
you collided with earlier at the tavern?
His Excellency wishes to see you.
You must come with us.
Capture him! Capture him!
I informed him he was to come with us
and he fled without replying.
[King Taejong Reign, The Chronicles] .
[King Taejong Reign, The Chronicles] This was all that remained in the room.
This is not a book that a commoner could easily read.
These brushstrokes most certainly belong to Official Kim.
What could this mean?
Where ought we go now?
Where do you wish to go?
This way?
Yes, let us see where it leads us.
The citizens are living in peace and comfort,
the military discipline was very strict.
Do you have no other matters to report?
There was a strange occurrence.
Strange occurrence?
In Uiju, I encountered a person who exactly resembled Official Kim.
In addition to his face and form being similar,
his brushstrokes and essay style also resembled Official Kim so greatly,
that I wondered if perhaps he is not yet deceased.
I sought to seize and interrogate him, but he vanished.
Did he appear to have endured much hardship?
Pardon,
Your Majesty,
I owe Boong Do a debt.
- Oh... - Your Majesty,
Do Seung Ji requests an audience.
Allow him to enter.
Do not speak of encountering a person who resembles him.
He is a man already deceased.
As you command, Your Majesty.
Though I know not what transpired between His Majesty and Kim Boong Do,
but he certainly still lives.
Furthermore, to ensure that others do not discover he lives still,
he wanders about the border lands.
Official Kim's sacrifice enabled the court to return to a state of peace.
Thus, knowing that his life has become full of hardship,
brings heaviness to my heart.
However, during my generation,
the fact that he lives must remain an eternal secret.
You're not sleeping?
Is it that interesting?
This person is so pitiful.
What?
Kim Boong Do.
Sukjong didn't kill him, but forced him to the border lands instead.
It probably wasn't an illicit affair, but a one-sided love instead.
No, he was from a noble family
and at 19 he scored top at the national civil service exam.
Sukjong favored him for his talents...
so why did he have to go and fall for the queen?
He totally ruined his life over a woman.
Over there.
Be careful.
Thank you.
I have seen that man somewhere before.
Where?
He looks to be a foreigner.
I am certain I have seen him before.
Oh!
One moment please.
Are you the person who once came to the temple?
The person who came from Hanyang the year prior to see the head monk.
What is it that brings you here?
I hear tell that you are being pursued.
I believed the eight provinces of Joseon to be vast, but I know now that it is not.
I have wandered about for a year
and traveled once again to this place.
For how long do you intend to flee?
Are you not exhausted?
I am exhausted.
Though it is laughable,
fleeing has become my purpose for living.
Being pursued is not a bad situation.
Without the objective of escaping pursuit,
how would I ever pass each day?
If one has committed a sin,
one should naturally receive punishment, is that not so?
That is what I wish to do as well,
but to be captured and receive punishment...
would only be an even greater crime.
What is it you mean...?
I have lingered too long,
I fear I will bring trouble onto the temple.
There! Over there!
Oh my!
Please do not admit that we are acquainted.
Oh my!
We have received orders to arrest you,
the mastermind behind multiple murders.
Surrender without resisting!
Bind him!
- Yes. - Yes.
Cue.
Last month, Chief State Councilor Nam Gu Man's memorandum was made public.
In this memorandum,
there's a detailed account of his accidental encounter with the deceased Kim Boong Do
and then his subsequent conversation with King Sukjong.
Along with the memorandum, a letter written by Kim Boong Do...
was also made public, which was particularly note-worthy.
The letter was written in June, 1694,
one month after Kim Boong Do passed away, according to The Annals.
The letter vividly depicts his profound love for this unnamed person...
as well as sadness over their separation.
Based on the circumstances at that time,
historians speculate that this letter was written for Queen In Hyun.
Cue.
This is a letter I write for you and also for me.
I may forget that I once wrote this letter,
or the existence of this letter may even vanish.
Either you or I
may continue to live holding onto our memories
For that purpose, I write this letter.
If I have a final wish...
it is to remember you.
In a purposeless life,
if even these memories were lost...
It would become hell.
As for you,
if you happen to read this letter in the future,
I pray you will not know for whom this letter was written.
Cue.
A man who hopes that a woman will forget him,
it is likely because the woman is in a place out of his reach.
So did he retain his memories?
It seems that at the very least, he didn't forget those memories.
In several essays discovered at the same time,
there is mention of some matters pertaining to this woman.
Okay.
That's it for the first part.
Good work, everyone.
I still haven't sobered up.
Once you reach a certain age, it's hard to handle alcohol.
Good work.
Miss Choi Hee Jin.
What?
Oh, you're here.
What is it?
Here.
Why do you do pretty much anything lately?
You're even narrating a documentary.
It's because Director Yang asked me to.
I saw in the news that you went abroad for a shoot.
- When did you get back? - Oh, did you miss me?
I guess you've started thinking about me again.
You even searched for my news.
I wasn't going to say this because you'll start acting superior again,
but when I go online, your news is all over the place.
It's hard not to notice.
I'm not acting superior, I actually am superior.
You're the one calling it acting.
Why did you come here?
Are you dating anyone recently?
I'm dying of loneliness.
How about we start dating again?
Are you going to only work until you die?
What's the point of making all that money?
You're lonely and I'm lonely too.
I hear you're dating some girl from an idol band
and she's ten years younger than you.
It's all over the news.
Oh...
She's too immature.
She's always pouting and nagging.
No matter how I think of it, there's no woman better than Choi Hee Jin.
You mean I'm an easy target for bullying?
Yeah.
How about we go out for a drink tonight?
Stop coming to bother me.
There. How about that woman over there?
She looks like she'd be perfect for you.
Na Jung?
Hey, Na Jung?
What are you doing?!
Do you want to date me?
She says we look like a perfect match.
Do you want to?
I don't particularly like you, but if you're willing...
I'll date you.
I'm so lonely lately that I can't be too picky.
You're crazy.
You see. She won't do.
She's hopeless.
When are you going to grow up?
I don't want to.
Now what are you doing?
Oh, Hee Jin.
Hello.
Hurry and come. There's no time.
Button yourself up right.
I'll call you tomorrow.
I'm very busy.
Wait for my call.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Bye.
See you later.
Excuse me, Hee Jin.
What has Soo Kyung been up to lately?
What do you mean what is she up to?
Does she happen to be dating anyone?
What? Why are you asking?
Because I'm feeling a little lonely lately.
She's not, is she?
She hasn't said anything, but I think she is.
Really? I see.
Oh, what a joke.
If he can't sleep at night, then take some sleeping pills.
Why's he bothering me?
Why are the two of them so much alike?
- Are we that easy to bully? - No kidding.
We're not toys they can play with when bored.
Seriously.
No kidding.
What a joke.
But that ahjussi has good taste.
What did you tell him?
I told him I think you have a boyfriend.
I don't have a boyfriend.
That's the only way to make him give up.
Otherwise, he'll keep bothering you.
Oh...
What? Did I say the wrong thing?
No, good job.
You useless little brat...
We're going to be late! Step on the gas!
That's why I told you not to do that documentary!
You're just narrating a few lines, why do you need to do an outside shoot?
Just pick any random place for the opening dialogue.
Are they trying to use you to get their money's worth?!
Aigoo.
Hee Jin, start from this spot.
"The Seo-in and the Namin were in conflict,"
and, "Queen In Hyun and Jang Ok Jeong's intertwined destinies. "
Say your lines like this and keep walking over here.
Stop once you get to this stone that says 5th Senior Rank Official,
then keep saying your lines.
Okay.
Good.
Looking around, I haven't been here in a long time.
What?
I used to come here daily while filming a drama.
I haven't been here in a year since then.
Oh, I see.
Wait here.
Yes.
What are you looking at?
I have not come here in a long while.
What?
What a joke!
For someone who has no reason to enter the palace,
why are you pretending?
Do you think you did something good?
- Let's begin. - Okay.
Cue.
The conflict between the Seo-in and Namin factions,
Queen In Hyun and Jang Ok Jeong's intertwined destinies
and Gapsul Hwanguk, are events familiar to us from countless television dramas.
In the spring of 1694,
in the bloody battle that took place,
a man left behind an interesting record.
Due to rumors of an illicit affair with Queen In Hyun,
this man died to prove his innocence in front of King Sukjong.
27 years of age at that time,
he was Hongmungwan official and Seo-in, Kim Boong Do.
He is our main character today,
Queen In Hyun's man.
Did he really love Queen In Hyun,
or was he the victim of a wrongful death, as recorded in The Annals?
He was born into a noble family...
and became civil service exam top scholar at 19 years of age.
He was Kim Boong Do, once highly favored by King Sukjong
but then killed as a result of his love for Queen In Hyun.
Come with me, as we retrace the footsteps of his short life.
Cut!
What's the matter?
What is this?
What? Is there a problem?
Let us go.
It is said you will be interrogated tomorrow.
Hee Jin.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I think I got dust in my eyes. I'm sorry.
Let's start over again.
Oh, that's good.
Okay, let's start again.
[Royal Investigation Bureau]
You will be interrogated tomorrow morning.
Who will be interrogating me?
Due to the severity of your crimes,
you will be interrogated by Yoon Seong Mun, Chief of the Royal Investigation Bureau.
Yoon Seong Mun?
We drew it as you ordered, but I suspect it was not the same man.
I request to be punished by death
so that I may begin a new life, Your Majesty.
I will certainly live on
and I truly wish to live on.
Thus, I beg you to grant me an honorable death.
In the future,
I will not appear once more in this world.
In the future, I will not appear once more in this world.
[Soo Kyung]
Hello?
I heard you started crying while filming the opening.
Who said that?
The director called me to ask if you're sick.
I'm not sick.
Then why did you cry? I heard you cried really pitifully.
I don't know, either.
What do you mean you don't know?
I don't know.
The tears suddenly started streaming down, I was startled by it too.
I suddenly felt really sad for no reason.
What?
Did you drink in the middle of the day or something?
What's there to be sad about?
I'm in a bad mood.
Why?
I don't know either, I just am.
Is there beer at home?
I want a drink when I get back.
Yes, so hurry home.
Got it. I'll be home soon.
Okay.
This...
Each morning, the wife puts it on for her husband.
As she ties it like this...
That's right.
Their eyes meet like this
and there's a spark.
Then...
This is it,
this is the purpose of ties!
A tie's purpose?
Why is it raining so frequently?
Waiting for you with nothing to do
My dry tears are tinged by the sunset
On the other side of time
You who are waiting for me
My heart reminds me again of you
Different times under the same sky
Our sad love that has become unattainable
I bottle up my earnest feelings in the moonlight
So you can find your way back to me
Oh my.
What is this?
What's happening? What's going on?
What is this?
What's happening, seriously.
Why am I like this?
I cannot express with words how much I love you
Through the rough years
Even if I get bruised and hurt
You will keep me safe in your embrace
Different times under the same sky
Our sad love that has become unattainable
[From: The World's Greatest Beauty To: Player]
Player.
What's Player?
Who is Player?
Player.
Different times under the same sky
A sad love that cannot be attained
[The World's Greatest Beauty]
You're a player over there too, right?
Player is calling the World's Greatest Beauty.
I will resolve everything and return.
Hee Jin,
why are you here so late?
You even got soaked by rain.
The video...
What?
Please show me the video...
Queen In Hyun's Man.
If you're watching alone, it's better to do it here.
Here...
But, is something the matter?
It isn't fully edited yet, so it's a little messy.
If you want to stop, press this.
If you want to fast forward, turn this.
That's all you have to do.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Okay.
The conflict between the Seo-in and Namin factions,
Queen In Hyun and Jang Ok Jeong's intertwined destinies
and Gapsul Hwanguk, are events familiar to us from countless television dramas.

I may forget that I ever wrote this letter,
or the existence of this letter may even vanish.
Either you or I
may continue to live holding onto our memories.
For that purpose, I write this letter.
When I first came into possession of the talisman by chance,
I was greatly curious of its cause and effect.
At first,
I thought realizing my thwarted dream was the effect.
Then, I thought
fulfilling my fate of meeting you was perhaps the effect.
Still after,
I thought beginning a new life in a different world was the effect.
But now, I realize belatedly its true cause and effect.
If preserving my life was the cause,
then losing all that I possess was the effect.
My future,
my honor,
my set of values,
my people,
and you as well...
I know not what the future holds.
Whether we will forget each other and live on,
Or be forever tormented, unable to forget.
If I have a final wish...
it is to remember you.
In a purposeless life, if even these memories were lost...
It would become hell.
As for you,
if you happen to read this letter in the future,
I pray you will not know
for whom this letter was written.
A man who hopes that a woman will forget him,
it is likely because the woman is in a place out of his reach.
So did he retain his memories?
I think at the very least he didn't forget.
It seems that at the very least, he didn't forget those memories.
In several essays discovered at the same time,
there is mention of some matters pertaining to this woman.
I'm sorry, please wait a minute.
After calling me, why didn't you answer the phone?
I searched for you all this time.
Did you not call me an hour ago?
[World's Greatest Beauty]
Hello?
Are you listening?
Hello?
Answer me, the World's Greatest Beauty.
Are you planning to remain in a daze there?
You summoned a person who was eating and sleeping well,
should you not take responsibility?
Close the door.
Come...
over here.
You're real.
You're still alive.
What have you been doing...
for this past year?
I traveled about and found a lover in each of the eight provinces.
One year passed in the blink of an eye.
You're lying.
The proof is right there.
What is that?
What happened with the talisman?
I burned the talisman.
Then how did you come back?
Didn't I say I came back because you called me?
Me?
You.
A tie's purpose...
I really missed the purpose for a tie which you taught me.
I nearly used a tie for another purpose.
You missed the way I use a tie?
I missed it so much I wanted to die.
Are you talking about this?
An expected encounter that began in a gap in time,
that fate ended a year ago.
The two of us now are not meeting...
because of a mysterious talisman written by the head monk,
but because our memories are tied to each other.
And so, we have our second fate.
Now I am his savior
and the price is he has to stay by my side forever.
But my letter has survived until now? How?
The Chief State Councilor kept your letter
and a month ago, his descendant made it public.
How could they so casually publicize another person's personal belonging?
I will have to destroy it.
It's kept at the museum.
There's no way you can destroy it,
unless the museum collapses.
I'm losing it.

I am truly speechless right now.
You appear out of nowhere and say you're her boyfriend.
I've never heard Hee Jin mention anything about you.
So answer me truthfully from this moment on.
Got it?
All right.
Which university?
The school that you attend!
Sungkyunkwan.
Sungkyunkwan University?
Where do you live?
Bukchon.
Bukchon?
The houses there are super expensive...
Is it a tiled house?
Why are you laughing?
My parents have passed away.
I live alone.
I live off of the inheritance they left me.
My God, you're perfect.
A perfect man.
My father was in the national service.
National service?
