Episode 21
Shin Goon, please say anything... or else... or else I...
I have to say something.
I love her.
I love her very much.
Yes, with these words we can wash out the rumors and misunderstandings of the public.
The angle of where Bingung is seated,
really makes her look like an "uljjang", right HaeMyung? [uljjang = pretty face]
Yes, Grandmother.
If you put yourself at that angle, I hear that you can look like a movie star!
Yes! She really does look like a movie star!
But, her clothes make me worried.
I wish she'd have worn more modest clothes.
I will give warning to that, Mama.
We've come to the end of our show, and we will commence shortly.
Thank you for coming out, Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
Wait! Wait a sec!
Yes?
I have something to say...
Please, go on.
Um... That's...
We are going to divorce...
A divorce?
You see...
Yes, it's true.
We once thought of a divorce.
Last night when we were talking, we decided to leave the matter unattended,
but Bingung's straightforward personality let the "cat out of the bag".
What are you talking about?
Yes, we did not have any intentions of marrying each other.
That means the rumors on the newspaper about a marriage for political reasons is the truth?
The term "marriage for political reasons" seems to be out of place and embarrassing.
Please excuse me, TaeJa Jeonha (Crown Prince).
Our marriage has nothing to do with fixation or political tactics.
If there was such intention, the economy and all schools' virtue would be the exaggeration of the Crown Princess.
Then with what scope...
My grandfather and the Crown Princess's grandfather made our wedding promise.
So, your promise, even after hiding it from the nation, was something you had to keep?
I'm very eager to know.
There is a saying, "The Emperor does not lie."
A promise to the whole nation and a promise to the Emperor are clearly different.
I see. So you had no choice but to oblige to your grandfathers' wishes.
The order came out of the blue to us, and we couldn't accept it.
So we rejected it...
I see.
Just as the press suspected..
I went to a girlfriend I had good feelings about for a long time and I proposed to her.
But in the end, the choice of the marriage... the choice of the marriage was chosen by us.
There are some things in life where nothing makes sense.
What happened in Jeju was one of those things.
I'm thankful for that incident.
And also,
to the person who had a harder choice than me, I am still much thankful.
Please think of this common schoolgirl at least once,
who had to endure Palace life, where she knew no one,
with the difficult conditions of loneliness and homesickness.
She came into the Palace with small, careful steps,
the middle class Crown Princess,
the girl who came to be my wife, who cannot even be severe to a puppy.
Even though she lives with many tears, I try my best not to make her cry.
I came to love this girl.
Therefore everyone, please look within yourselves.
Although she's not perfect...
Although she's very naive and young,
she is trying her best to fulfill the destiny that was given to her.
The Crown Princess is only... looking for your love.
And the last thing that I would like to say is...
For everyone to please forgive us.
Yes, up until now, we have heard the good words of the Crown Prince and Princess.
Thank you for your trouble.
Thank you for your trouble. Yes, Thank you.
In front of the whole nation, how could the Crown Princess put he word "divorce" on her lips?
I'm so sorry, Pyeha.
Um, don't you think she just made a silly mistake?
There's plenty of room for silly mistakes! This is not what you call a mistake!
She is a part of the Imperial Household to the nation, and she utters the word "divorce"?
She has disgraced our household to the ground with her one word.
How can she receive love and respect from the nation with this?
King, can't we fix this?
Do you think this is this a situation that can be fixed?!
He has made a laughing stock of me and our whole household!
Mother, excuse me, I am leaving.
I feel there will be a wild windstorm in the Imperial Household.
Please, Mama. Please do not feel concern and anxiety to this matter.
Do not feel concern?
Is this an everyday situation we come across?
Here they come!!
I wonder what Shin is thinking right now.
Did he really express how he truly felt?
Or, is it just a false pretense like his smile?
Shin Goon... about today's incident...
Shut your mouth.
TaeJa Jeonha, the King has just issued an order to cancel all your events today and head directly to the Palace.
TaeJa, did you expect this to occur?
I trusted you and believed you would handle this live interview well.
How could you cause such an accident?
I'm sorry, Pyeha.
I am asking the Prince.
Bingung, how could you say such a thing?
I'm sorry.
In the history of the Imperial Household, this is probably the first time the word "divorce" has come up.
What in the world happened between you two?
What could have made you say the word divorce?
I just... made a mistake. I don't even know why I did such a thing.
I don't know what would have happened if the Crown Prince hadn't helped me out, Pyeha.
You dare to be near him?
Why haven't you said a word, Prince?
If you're looking for someone to blame this whole incident on,
just as you heard this girl who is not suited to the Palace say,
I also believe it none of the adults' fault.
What did you say?
TaeJa!
Give strong punishment to the unqualified Crown Princess
and re-educate her
because she could not get the rules of the Palace yet.
Are you disobeying me?!
I see no remorse or apology in your words.
Are you going to take responsibility for the Imperial Household of your actions?
We have done nothing wrong, so we need not apologize.
We will be confined in our quarters for now.
Why did you say that? Now the situation is more difficult.
If I didn't talk that way, we would have probably had to beg for forgiveness.
But still, when an adult is angry, isn't it definite that we should at least ask for forgiveness?
Then I think you should apologize to me first.
What?
Ever since I was born, I've never asked for an earnest request.
I've never been in such a pitiable situation, and I've never felt so miserable.
I explicitly asked of you, please, just bear with me for today.
I'll finish it when it should be.
Shin Goon...
I believed in you with all my heart.
In the end, you opened your loose and stupid mouth and crushed my request.
I don't know what's what anymore.
But, you know, I was also serious then.
If I could grow up in the Palace until the end,
If you would like me until the end, that's why I did it.
I didn't know that the divorce.. my fight against the Palace's jurisdiction
was something I could say in one moment, something that would be stupid, to do when I spoke of a divorce.
You...
You don't care about my heart.
The things you said at the interview, I couldn't tell if they were true.
Because it's an interview. And also, and also you...
Those words were from my heart.
For the first time in my life, I said those words with meaning.
You stepped on my first confession not as a Crown Prince, but as a man to a woman.
I never meant to...
I don't know since when, but we both came along the same path.
Just as you shook me, you brought my heart out of my hidden cave...
Just like my heart was broken, I became more and more curious of you.
I wanted to see you, and with the mere thought of you, I smiled silly.
You made me into a fool.
After you make me into a fool, you bring up divorce?
The person who stole my heart is not me, but know clearly that it's you.
She made a mistake because she is at such a young age.
Please forgive them.
Didn't you see the Prince's rudeness?
With this kind of Prince, how am I to hand over the throne and see him rule in the future?
During the interview, I saw he was deeply hurt by the Crown Princess's words.
I see doubt in the Prince's temperament.
Look at Yul, he takes responsibility for his actions and guarded the Imperial Household.
Is this because of your lingering attachment to his mother?
Is that why you want to give the throne to Yul?
Queen!
You should not be doing this.
If you're having second thoughts about the throne,
I will always stay by the Prince and protect him.
Why do you think Chaegyung said such a thing?
You're probably right. The Palace is probably raging about this right now!
So are you saying the pig has another boyfriend, or is it because of Shin that she wants to get a divorce?
What should we do? I'm worried about this situation.
Ever since she visited us from the Palace, her face did not look good!
Dear, let's bring our Chaegyung back! I'm worried that she's going to starve to death!
Mom, I'm also worried about the pig! Let's raise the pig at our house!
You little!
Hold on.
Should we call them?
No,
if we call, Chaegyung might be put in a more difficult position.
Oh no, dear.
Why?
Huh?
What is it?
An exiled Queen. What if our Chaegyung becomes an exiled Queen?
Then at the Palace, the pig will....
Why are they filming that stupid thing all day?
Yeah... Kang Hyun!
You don't think Chaegyung will become an exiled Queen after this, do you?
I don't have a good feeling about this.
To add on, if the truth becomes clear that the Crown Prince is not of age...
I don't even want to think about it!
Chaegyung's probably going through a hard time...
Hey! What the heck Lee-In!
I can't do this! She's too funny! Please change her!
Hey Hyu-in! Stop squealing and do it well!
Because Shin's late, everything's delayed!
Hey! Again again! From the top!
Hey... take the camera.
Beautiful swan, do you not want to be my subject of (camera) shooting?
Ugh! I'm going to throw up!
We have made sure that the people who stole the car will not speak of the incident.
Alright, but the problem is within the Palace.
Because the Bingung brought up the possibility of a divorce,
they will be looking for the man she was with.
Our Yul is in danger.
Tae-Hu Mama, I am very sorry to mention this.
If the King forgives Bingung peacefully...
No one in the Palace will take this issue extensively.
Alright. Using that boy is one way of solving this problem.
Shin Goon... I'm sorry.
You said you loved me.
If it was true, if it's true...
Can't you just understand me?
Can't it be solved with my apology?
I didn't know it would turn out this way.
After I entered the Palace, I smiled like I was happy.
But the truth is, I'm worried and scared.
I just tried not to show my true feelings.
Even though I wore pretty clothes, I always felt I was wearing someone else's clothes.
These clothes of a crown Princess, they're too heavy now.
So... I just wanted to run away.
I was only thinking of myself so I didn't even think of Shin Goon getting hurt.
I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.
Something is wrong with the Bingung bringing up divorce all of a sudden.
I feel there must be a good reason. Do you think she is telling the truth?
The people who stole her car could have lied too.
I do not feel that the Bingung would have lied about this.
Pyeha, do you love me?
When the crown Prince professed his love today at the interview, I felt numb.
Maybe it was because the Bingung brought up the topic of a divorce,
but more than that shock, the love hidden deep within the Prince brought out my feelings.
And I was jealous of Bingung.
I thought of all the wives in the world who had the love of their husbands.
They're able to solve all their troubles and obstacles.
Park Sang Gong, you may leave.
Yes, Mama.
Have a seat, Bingung.
Yes.
Because you brought up the subject of a divorce, the scandal is only growing bigger.
I'm sorry.
I want to check one thing with you.
I'm guessing Yul's feelings, but what I'm curious of is your feelings for him.
Feelings?
There is no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman.
All I am asking is your true feelings for Yul Sung Dae Goon.
I've never felt anything more than a friendship towards him.
Can I trust your words?
Yes, Hwang-Hu Mama.
Bingung Mama, Tae-Hu Mama would wish to see you.
Tae-Hu Mama?
Mama, Bingung Mama is here.
Please allow her in.
Welcome, Bingung. Please sit.
Yes, Tae-Hu Mama.
You're having a hard time, no?
It's only because I've done wrong.
What could a young Bingung have done wrong.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Alright. What do you suppose you are going to do?
I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
The Imperial Household, as well as the King's pride has been lost in this conclusion,
so it's not going to be easy to gain forgiveness.
What should I do for them to forgive me?
Do you really want forgiveness?
Yes.
In my opinion, I think you need an extreme solution.
What's that mean?
Do you know Sukgodaejwe (Waiting on a straw mat until a punishment is given)?
Although the King is very angry, he might falter if you do Sukgodaejwe.
King, because you're in a bad disposition, I'm worried for your health.
I'm worried for the Imperial Household.
During these times, I must go to the event.
Pyeha, the Prince has just arrived.
Allow him to come in.
TaeJa, you can go back.
Pyeha!
Pyeha.
The museum's event holds a great position in foreign countries' cultures,
and shows the Imperial Household's trust towards them,
and this is an official ceremony for the Imperial Household! The Prince must attend.
That is the exact reason why I wish to leave the Prince here!
Pyeha! How could you say such a thing!
Today's function shows all of Korea's ambassadors our culture.
Therefore, I will bring Yul, who seems to be more informed of Korea's formalities.
If you feel that way, I shall stay.
Prince! What kind of behavior is that?
Your job is to follow in the King's footsteps, so the nation can take a brighter road to the future.
Pyeha, Yul Sung Dae Goon Mama has just arrived.
Allow him in.
I see that the Crown Prince is here too.
I heard that you will be participating in today's event.
I'm only participating for the nation.
Pyeha, before we leave. I must address a problem to you.
Tell me.
There's a man that works for the government, Jo Sung Kwang, who is rebelling and is causing trouble right now.
Really? Isn't that a problem worthy of addressing?
Then, I will take that as a consent and I will propose it.
For today's event, he has stayed up all night investigating documents and worrying about the cultural influence.
Yes. I feel confident with your presence, Hwi Sung Dae Goon.
It's nothing.
We must depart now, Pyeha.
Pyeha, please forgive me. Everything was my mistake.
Your actions will not pick up the already spilt water.
Choi Sang Gong, bring Bingung back to her place.
Pyeha, everything is my fault. Please forgive me!
Then I will ask one thing of you.
Is the reason for your bringing up the matter of the divorce
because of the man that is being spoken about in the papers?
Why can't you answer? I will ask you one more thing.
Are you sure that the guy you were with is your dad?
That's...
Dae Goon, let's pick up our pace.
Just get up.
He's not the type of person who will give in to something like this.
Your actions alone will not get him to forgive you. Don't even attempt it.
But still, if I apologize genuinely, he will forgive me.
Do you still not get it!?
Your honesty will not get you anywhere in this situation.
So stop being stubborn.
Don't mind me! I'm going to settle this.
Then do as you please.
Pyeha, how are you?
Yes, it's you, Hwi Sung Goon.
Is Bingung still waiting?
Yes.
This place has been taken care of carefully.
Alright.
Gong Nae Gwan (Imperial Officer).
Yes, Jeonha.
What kind of place was this originally?
This place was originally a library that kept all the official documents of the Palace,
but after everything was moved, it was used as a storage.
In this place, I found the King and Tae-Hu Mama's letter of affection.
Since you have known each them for a long time, you probably know this too?
Is the letter I saw happened to be... true?
Then this place, was a place to anticipate coming to.
Now I understand why the King is so kind to Hwi Sung Dae Goon.
Jeonha...
Do you think I can bear this bias?
I am the assistant who apotheosize the sky that is able to hold away cruelty.
You are the deepest and the highest sky.
Mama!!
Bingung Mama!
These artifact, donated by a Japanese, represent the Age of Shilla.
I think all three of these,
I think all of these are the same.
You’ve noticed it very well, Dae Goon Mama.
These artifacts were made in 7 B.C., by the Baek Jae people, and they have been found now.
As you have all seen now, this is a skill we can all learn in school.
Some people may wonder why we are exhibiting these artifacts now,
and the reason is to show that these artifacts are a pride to the Korean heritage.
Hello, Yoo-Mo (nanny). It’s me.
How is Chaegyung doing?
I see. Okay.
Dae Goon Mama, the King is asking for you.
Doing such a harsh mistake, and asking for the King’s forgiveness is right.
But you have just made a mistake, and it is all just a misunderstanding.
This is not such a manner to be asking for such forgiveness, Princess.
I’m very sorry, Tae Hwang Tae-Hu Mama.
Please get up. Something terrible may happen to you.
From my mistake, I will like to be forgiven, Tae Hwang Tae-Hu Mama.
The king is just getting a misunderstanding about who you were with that night. Just tell him the truth.
The only way to get over this misunderstanding, is by telling the truth.
I’m very sorry I cannot say, Tae-Hwang Tae-Hu Mama.
I’ve always treated you with kindness, there probably is something that you are trying to hide from me.
Pyeha, I have something I have to say.
Tell me what it is you have to say.
They say that Bingung Mama is still asking for your forgiveness.
Pyeha, won’t you please show her your mercy.
She is such a weak girl, and doing this act for your forgiveness is just too harsh.
This is not a matter of yours, Dae Goon.
Bingung.
Where is the Prince?
I’m truly sorry. Please forgive us.
Stop making me look like a bad father-in-law, and go back into your quarters.
Just by you doing this, does not make your wrong doing go away.
Pyeha.
Can you not act more kindly towards the Prince?
TaeJa Jeonha doesn't even want to use the pen that you had gotten him,
since he feels that it is special, he just leaves it in a pen holder and look at it, even though he does not say,
or act like it, he is scared of you, and misses you, and he is loving you in his own way...
Bingung.
Bingung, do you think that I dislike the Prince?
In this world, there is no parent who hates his own child.
However, the mistakes that their child makes, the father is responsible for.
Go and get Chaegyung!
Do you even know how she’s doing?
Did you even go to see how she’s doing? She’s going to end up fainting by that!
Stop trying to show off! You don't have to worry about it!
This is the kind of person you are.
If you were more of a warmer person, I might of just left Chaegyung to you.
But, you, being such a self absorbed, uncaring person, I can't send Chaegyung to you!
This is reality! There is something that says the law is greater than will.
The law! Your defense is always the Hwang Sil law!
Because of that great law of yours, I had everything taken away from me!
If you're so upset by the law, that must mean that you have a plan to change it.
That’s what I’m going to do. From now on, I’m going to break the laws!
What?
I don’t know what you're thinking of,
loving your sister in law in that dirty way, is something that should only done once!
Stop spreading your dirtiness into this Palace.
Stop trying to put me down.
If you try to put down my love again, then I’ll never forgive you.
Chaegyung, let’s stop this.
I’m sorry.. I’m sorry.
Why are you?
I’m the one who told you to say it. I’m the one it’s all my fault.
It’s not because you made me do it. It’s probably because I wanted to say it myself.
It’s honey with water. At least drink this. You look so tired.
What about Shin? Did you go see Shin?
Shin, that bastard, he doesn’t even seem to care that your like this!
So stop waiting for him.
I really don’t think that this is the right way for you.
I’m sorry to have put you through this.
Pyeha, are you just going to let the Princess stay like that?
She may end up with a disease like that, Pyeha.
Hwang-Hu, why do you think the Princess had brought up the words divorce in the interview?
That is the Prince had explained it...
Do you, Hwang-Hu, see me as an idiot!
Pyeha, how can you say such a thing? I certainly do not think that way, Pyeha.
The Princess has been like that since morning, yet they tell me that the Prince has not once gone to see her.
Why do you think that is so?
I want you to find out who was with the Princess that night. This is not a matter to just look over.
You can ask the King as a favor!
Who is the one looking out for who right now!?
Because of that stupid Princess, your problem is starting to look like a big deal!
Now that the King is looking for that guy she was with,
the scandal will just lead up to you, and it’s only a matter of time!
The pardon act was it you who made her do it?
It was impossible not to. I didn’t want you to be involved in it.
Yoo-mo, as life goes on, they say that you cannot get your children to live the way you want it,
I think those words were right.
Mama, what is it that you are trying to say?
To my Yul, I thought I was the only one in his life.
Is this what you call a new lifetime? My son is saying that he is in love.
Yet, he is saying that he is in love with the Crown Princess.
There will be a time, soon enough, when you can live worry free, Mama.
Do you really think so?
A love he has found so strongly do you think he can just let it go?
That coincidence, is just too much of a coincidence.
Jeonha, you’ve been looking at the same page for hours.
This story line is very interesting.
Jeonha, are you going to just leave the Princess like that?
Now is the time to go get her out from there.
Jeonha.
You’ve finished all your work. Then just go.
Bingung Mama. Mama, it is time for you to go!
If you stay any longer like this, there is a chance of you catching a fatal disease!
Mama, please think about what you are doing.
Mama, please stop this at once.
You must get up.
I’m so tired.
Before I get forgiven, I'm not going to move, not even a step.
I’m really tired, so please stop making me talk now.
Bingung is still there as we speak?!
Bingung Mama can't stay like that any longer.
She hasn’t even drank a sip of water since yesterday.
I feel that I’ve have lived too long for this.
Mama, how can you say such a thing!
I’ve lived too long a life for this!
That is why I’m being punished by witnessing all this dreadful things!
Halma Mama, please help Bingung.
Seo Sang Gong!
Yes, Mama.
Gather the whole family into my chambers.
I will not stay like an old grandmother, and not do anything to help this poor girl out!
I’ll do just as you ask, Mama.
That can be done of this terrible situation of the Hwang Sil.
TaeJa Jeonha has just arrived.
Jeonha, please come sit next to me.
It is all right, please come sit next to me.
Well, the reason why I have gathered all of you here today is because of the Princess.
How can such a young Princess, be left to sit there all night like that!
I’m deeply sorry, Mama.
At this time, I do think that it's time to pardon the Princess.
The way she's asking for forgiveness, is just so tear some.
However, Bingung has lied to us.
Also, she's not stating who it was that she was with that night.
Do you not think there is a reason for that?
If the Princess has nothing to hide, then why wouldn’t she state the truth?
She was with me that night.
Yul.
Hwi Sung Dae Goon.
That night, I saw the Princess leave, and I followed her out.
What did you say?
She was with you, Hwi Sung Dae Goon?
Yes, Pyeha.
I believe that the Princess was a little down in spirit, so he must of gone to see what was the matter.
Yul Sung Dae Goon, I want you to answer my questions truthfully from this point on.
Yes, Pyeha.
Do you happen to have a different kind of feeling towards the Princess?
Pyeha! What kind of question is that!?
Yes.
I do have a special kind of feelings towards the Princess.

I waited, and I waited my legs felt like they were going to break, but I still waited!
No matter how angry you were with me, I thought that at least you would come!
I’m going to make you live here with me forever.
That’s for all my scars, and for all the times you turned your back on me.
Give Chaegyung to me, and you take over the King's throne!
Either throw them both out or let them both stay.
A person’s feelings are not like a paper where you can just fold it away.
Yul Sung Dae Goon!
I can’t just fold it away somewhere.
He’s been thrown out from the Palace before.
Does it make sense to throw him out again? That’s just wrong!
I guess this might be my last chance.
At this time, what am I supposed to be saying? No one has ever taught me.
