Uh Ri Ni.
Do you trust me?
Close your eyes.
- If we live like this, we all die. - We all die.
- I am nothing anymore. - What happened?
I know. The reason Father has changed...
is because I am close-by.
I know.
- Gil Dong! - Gil Dong!
- Will you let Uh Ri Ni die? - Gil Dong.
Gil Dong. Gil Dong.
Gil Dong!
Gil Dong.
Uh Ri Ni.
Gil Dong!
Uh Ri Ni!
(HONG)
(THE REBEL)
It is okay.
Uh Ri Ni...
(EPISODE 7)
Gil Dong. Gil Dong. Gil Dong.
- Water. - Water?
Okay. I will get water.
Wait a bit.
Gil Dong?
Gil Dong, Gil Dong, Gil Dong.
Uh Ri Ni.
Uh Ri Ni, Uh Ri Ni.
Uh Ri Ni.
Uh Ri Ni!
Uh Ri Ni.
Uh Ri Ni!
Can you get it out of the trap a bit faster?
Make sure the owner is not coming.
Get it free before the owner comes.
Who is that?
Did you...
Did you see someone go by?
Who do you mean?
A girl this tall.
Did you see her?
No... No, we did not.
Where... Where are you?
Uh Ri Ni.
He...
He was hit by arrows.
Three of them.
Uh Ri Ni. Have you seen Uh Ri Ni?
- Uh Ri Ni. - Go away!
Uh Ri Ni.
Where are you?
Get away from her.
Uh Ri Ni.
Who are you?
Uh Ri Ni.
Uh Ri Ni!
Uh Ri Ni.
Uh Ri Ni. Uh Ri Ni. Uh Ri Ni, your brother is here.
Uh Ri Ni. Uh Ri Ni!
Uh Ri Ni. Uh Ri Ni. Uh Ri Ni.
Your brother is here, Uh Ri Ni.
I am here.
You lunatic.
Let us do this.
We may part ways now,
but if we meet again,
we are destined to be.
I will see you again, too.
He... He is...
He will not live.
Is he not still alive?
He is dying.
Even if he does survive,
he will be of no worth.
He ran about like a madman.
He has lost his mind since we last saw him.
I can read faces, and men with his features...
They get into big trouble and something disastrous happens.
He should not be kept close.
We...
meet again.
What will you do with him?
What else can I do?
I cannot turn away a wounded person.
Did you not hear what the doctor said? He will die soon!
Give me that.
What is she doing?
Are you feeling okay?
It is my sister's birthday soon.
I bought flower shoes for my sister.
I want to see her try them on right away.
I want to make His Majesty...
into my man.
How about you go out with me?
Are you Gil Dong?
Wear these and wait.
We will all die.
Father!
- Father will die. You will die. - Father. Father!
Uh Ri Ni will never live a full life.
Uh Ri Ni.
You know very well what happens to those...
who live as scoundrels.
Gil Dong,
do you think you will live a full life?
Hey.
Gil Dong.
Uh Ri Ni.
Master.
Do you mean to say the man sleeping in that room...
is Gil Dong, the famous peddler?
Yes, that is a fact.
- No way. - How do you know him?
I was at Cheongeumnu before I came here.
He was there once.
Are you saying that...
he helps barren women...
give birth to children...
and makes cheating husbands come home?
Back when I was at Cheongeumnu,
I heard he helped Mae Hyang become someone's concubine.
My goodness.
A kisaeng over 30 managed to get married?
- Excuse me. - It is him.
Where am I?
Is this possible?
I was sure he would die.
Do you really have no memory?
Do you remember nothing?
I do remember bits and pieces.
Oh my, why are you crying?
I do not know.
You see.
My chest...
aches and feels tight as if...
there is a weight pressing on it, and I cannot stop crying.
What illness do I have?
I remember...
parting with Gong Hwa at Cheongeumnu.
Then I met a few merchants at the entrance...
to a road where tigers appear.
My goodness.
A tiger took your soul.
They say meeting a tiger turns people into idiots.
I am no idiot.
You are if you remember nothing.
- You tiny thing. - You moron.
He lost it. He is a total idiot.
- Oh dear. - Oh no.
A tiger took his soul.
How did he survive getting hit by three arrows?
But he remembers nothing.
How could someone make a full recovery in two days?
- I wonder. - Me, too.
You said I was...
hit by arrows.
Do you still have them?
The doctor said you can lose your memory...
if you hurt your head or are very exhausted.
Do not worry about anything...
and rest here for...
Rest here?
Must we feed and shelter him...
until he regains his memory?
Thank you.
Why are you thanking her? No one said you can stay!
I apologize, my lady.
I am not your lady!
I apologize, madam.
I should dunk you in feces!
Such men have marks.
Those who run faster or are stronger than others,
or those who recover from any kind of...
fatal wound in a day and a half.
Have you heard of the story of...
the Mighty Child who cut his own umbilical cord...
with a blade of silver grass?
The Mighty Child? I would rather stir a sauce with my toe.
No such people exist.
No, the Mighty Child exists.
I saw something similar a long time ago.
I should wash you in urine.
Can you wash people with that?
Get off the bedding right now.
- I apologize, grand dame. - You fool.
- Me, too. - I am first.
I cannot believe they fell for a conman's tricks.
I cannot believe it, either.
Why do they not see he is an idiot?
I agree.
It makes a sound.
You.
Do you lure women with scent pouches from Ming...
or special hair ribbons?
My goodness.
There is something women get very wrong.
Expensive products from Ming...
Let us call them luxury items.
Men do not care for a woman...
they did not care for before just because she has a luxury item.
Then?
The smart and learned men that you favor...
cannot even tell expensive items from cheap ones.
Also, men do not...
analyze a woman by taking her apart.
We more like...
scan the woman as a whole and see her aura.
- Her aura? - He is a new face.
You could kindle a fire with breath from your nose.
When did you get here?
I brought the bamboo mat Yong Shim asked for.
- What are you doing? - Anyway,
I heard that he came here gravely wounded...
but recovered in a few days.
Who told you that?
- That is what the girls said. - The doctor was a quack.
He misdiagnosed a minor wound.
Is getting hit by three arrows...
a minor wound?
No, no.
I should not ask questions.
I only wondered if...
he could be the Mighty Child...
who managed to stay alive.
Then...
did that child also have wings...
in his armpits?
They are not the wings you can see.
They merely symbolize...
the Mighty Child's strength.
And there are many kinds of strengths.
There is the physical strength.
- Also... - Also?
You would not understand even if I were to tell you now.
However,
most Mighty Children die.
The Mighty Child...
appear very rarely...
and must struggle just to survive.
But...
if one does survive,
he could turn the world upside down...
and change history.
Then...
are there no more Mighty Children?
No one knows. There could be one somewhere.
He could be...
somewhere no one knows of...
while hiding his wings.
Gong Hwa.
The idiot had this tied around his wrist. Should I return it?
What for? Throw it away.
Wait. Give it to me.
I will give it to him.
I have borrowed some clothes.
I am about to go out.
Will you let me stay even when I return?
Where are you going?
I want to find out where these arrows...
came from.
Those arrows are very common. How will you find out?
I must find the men who shot these at me...
to find my things.
That way, I can repay you for saving my life.
Do not worry about that.
Anyway, you may go. I will let you sleep here.
Thank you.
Hey.
You said you remember meeting me back at Cheongeumnu, right?
Yes, I do.
Then do you remember what you said to me?
What did I say?
It is nothing.
Go on.
Okay.
Excuse me. May I ask you a question?
Have you seen an arrow which looks like these?
Let me see.
These heads are used to catch large animals. These are not from here.
Do you know any place which many hunters gather around?
Excuse me.
May I ask you a question?
Have you seen an arrow which looks like these?
These are not the ones we use.
Why do you ask?
Well, someone was shot with these. They do not know who it is.
Is there such an idiot...
- who has no idea who shot him? - Well...
He is quite an idiot.
Anyway, do you think there are other hunters in this mountain?
Of course. There are hunters from out of the village.
There are jerks who take animals out of our traps.
If we ever get them, we will...
Then do you think I can follow you around for a while?
I must find the guys who shot these arrows.
Why? Are you trying to get revenge?
No, no.
We do not wish to take part in this.
No way, it is not for revenge.
It is not like that. This idiot sometimes loses his memory.
He always gets himself in a huge trouble whenever he does.
He must find out...
what he did.
Guys.
Do you want to see how fast I am?
My goodness, look at this.
This is so soft.
You will be going to Master Kim's party today.
He already sent us two rolls of cotton.
Make sure you do your best.
Yes, of course.
We have been doing so well since you have joined us.
You are the best.
I will continue to work for these parties...
to make you happy.
My goodness, come on.
But I will choose my own drummer now.
(A DRUMMER PLAYED DRUMS OR JANGGU.)
I will take Gil Dong to the parties.
What? How can he be a drummer?
Can he even play?
I can play a little, but I am not good enough to play with you.
Let us go.
Why are you not getting ready?
Are you taking me, too?
I am going. I will go. Let us go.
This is an honor for you.
Let us go.
"Let us go"? How rude.
This is great.
Anyway, I heard you called Gong Hwa. She grew old, did she not?
There is no one who can sing as well as her.
A withered flower can only sing so much.
Gong Hwa of Danyejeong says hello to the masters.
The wind
Blows
Like
A fierce
Earthquake
Tonight
Oh, it is
Blowing
My dear
Sent me
A letter
Saying
We will
Surely meet tonight
He said so in the letter
But how will he come
In this wind and the rain?
My gosh, I cannot hold myself back.
Come here.
Are you drunk already?
Gong Hwa, I am sorry.
However,
that is enough singing.
Come and pour us some drinks.
Gong Hwa will not...
pour any drinks unless she finishes her song.
Your song is not such a big deal.
We do not need to listen to it until the end.
Once I start pouring drinks, my notes will not be solid.
- That is why... - You talk too much.
How dare you?
Shall I get this party started?
Honey, have you seen our child?
Here he is.
Wait, why is our child back inside your womb?
We sold the one I gave birth to during the famine.
This one is our new child.
How dare you try to fool me?
Are you sure that is my child?
Of course.
Feel him.
His thing is...
exactly like yours.
Wait, wait, wait.
You are right.
His thing is odd...
like a mouse's thing.
He surely is my son.
You are a funny one.
Why did you step in?
Did you think I could not take care of those men?
Just because.
I did not want to see you talking to those scums.
Gong Hwa of Danyejeong is...
an artist.
All kisaengs sing and dance.
I am not an artist.
You are an artist.
You sing and dance like one.
Did you not know that you are an artist?
Those scums may look like scholars,
but they have zero taste in art.
- And you do? - I do.
I have walked all over this land.
I have danced to the birds in Geumgang Mountain.
I have cried looking at the setting sun over the sea.
I know why the huge tree in Jiri Mountain...
fights against the wind all through the night.
I also know why Amnok River is such a dazzling blue.
Amnok River is so blue that people also call it...
Noksu, the blue water.
Noksu.
That is because they are in sorrow.
Living is so painfully sad,
then it is good,
then it is sad again.
Excuse me.
- May I ask you something? - What is it?
By any chance,
have you seen anyone who uses these arrows?
Hello, guys. I am late.
- Welcome. - Goodness.
I heard there are hunters from Seosan area.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- Let us go. - Let us go.
We almost got caught.
- Do we go down the mountain? - Yes, go ahead.
Look.
I think I have seen him before.
Come on.
Goodness.
Come on.
Okay, 1, 2.
Even I can do that.
And 3, 4.
Make it look natural. Pat Rye!
Stop.
Is that all you have got?
I can learn this very quickly.
- You are not allowed. - Why not?
Why not? Why do I always have to do this?
Let her do it.
She is not allowed.
She is ugly.
Let us take it from the beginning.
In 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3.
She is pretty.
She is the prettiest one in Danyejeong.
And three.
Let me see.
She is pretty. She is the prettiest one in Danyejeong.
Hey.
Do you really think I am pretty?
I did think I am prettier than...
at least Yong Shim and Pal Rye.
If you really think I am pretty,
can you tell me exactly which features you think are pretty?
And...
why is that?
Tell me about that.
That idiot.
It is the mountain
My love is like a blue mountain
Your love is like Noksu
Noksu will flow
But the blue mountain Will not change
Perhaps Noksu
Will never forget the blue mountain
It will go around and around
The blue mountain
It is the mountain
- A person may live - She is beautiful.
But they may not live for hundreds of years
On this long and winding road
There is no men, women, old, or young
While we live
Let us sit together
And have a great time
Just the two of us
It is the mountain
Mother.
Give it to him and send him back.
Do I just hand it to him?
I will.
Do you not feel bad for your kid?
You should at least let him eat.
Let him go.
You are so cold.
I do not have...
the heart of a mother.
Why?
Do I seem like a monster?
Sure. I am a monster.
Here.
Wait.
Is he Gong Hwa's son?
He is the reason why Gong Hwa never stays in one place.
Gong Hwa is so unfortunate.
She is not unfortunate.
Did you see...
how she kicked that little one out without even feeding him?
I gave him the jewelry.
Take a rest, then.
My mother was...
a kisaeng in a government office.
Whenever there was a new governor,
he became her new husband,
and she would do his laundry, his cooking,
and shared his bed.
If he liked my mother, our lives became pleasant.
If he did not like my mother,
my sister and I had to starve.
That is why...
whether or not he liked her was the most important thing...
to my mother.
One day, a new governor came, who was over 60 years old.
He refused my mother...
and asked for me instead.
My mother...
took my hand...
and...
took me to him.
It was a cold winter day,
but...
my mother's hand...
was sweating.
I said out of amusement,
"Mother,"
"your hand..."
"is crying."
She said it was for the best, and told me...
to win the district magistrate's favor and become a concubine.
That if she had become a concubine,
she wouldn't have suffered as she did.
However,
I could not forgive...
those rats...
who told a mother...
to bring her own child.
I cannot...
I could not forgive.
I needed power.
Power to throw those dirty rats into the pits of fire.
I hated them...
and despised the world.
And now,
I have...
nothing left in here.
Even if...
my child cries out to me, saying, "Mother,"
my heart is a sheet of ice.
I am...
a monster.
I have become a monster.
Seeing as you are crying,
you cannot become a monster.
When we first met,
I told you...
that if we meet again,
you and I...
were destined to be.
What are you doing?
Oh my goodness! Oh no!
I meant to take a few pieces of coal, and my hand slipped.
I am so sorry.
I have great medicine for that. Wait right here.
Oh my! Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no!
What are you doing?
I heard he survived after being critically wounded,
so I wanted to see for myself.
We will know for sure now...
whether or not he is destined to make history.
You wanted to know, too.
What are you peeking at?
Oh my gosh. Gosh!
What is your problem?
Why are you watching someone bathe?
Even if you are a man, too,
you should not peek...
like this.
What a strange man.
What? Where did he go?
Get over here. Get over here.
What are you doing?
No, it was not me. Someone else was peeking.
I mean it.
You are no bigger than a peanut.
You learned bad habits...
There was nothing to see.
Why that peanut...
Why are you out here? I said I would bring the clothes.
Go inside. I will be right in.
Do you want anything to eat?
How is your wound?
I brought medicine.
What exactly...
do you do?
Me?
I sell mats.
You cannot fool me.
What do I do?
The truth is,
I am looking for something unique upon someone's request.
Like a white deer, a two-headed snake,
or a peacock.
You know what I mean.
Freaks of nature. Mistakes are more like it.
Like a phoenix, dragon, or...
the Mighty Child with wings...
under his arms.
People still believe in the Mighty Child?
Stop the gibberish...
and do not come near me again.
Look here.
Let me ask you something.
I hope you would answer me.
Did you get the response you wanted?
So?
Is he...
the Mighty Child...
that survived?
I do not know.
I will let you know the next time I come.
- How is Father? - Please hurry.
Father.
Prince.
Yes. Please speak.
Dress...
properly.
Prince.
Joseon...
is ruled by Confucianism...
and the teachings of Mencius.
Then...
if they claim Confucianism states...
it is the King's fault a chicken has three legs,
must we accept it?
If they claim Mencius teaches...
- Prince. - that the King...
cannot replace even a container within the palace,
must we follow?
Prince. Do you not understand?
Do you think...
I never...
suspected the teachings of Confucius and Mencius? But...
Then...
are you saying it was the will of Confucius...
to kick out your wife and kill her?
Father.
Did you think I did not know...
that my father...
killed my mother?
Did you really think I did not know?
I...
am the son...
of the dethroned queen.
I think we should check somewhere farther away.
I do not think this is the spot...
where that idiot was shot.
Look! There they are!
- Stop! - Hey.
I will get them.
- Run! - Wait!
- Wait. - Get them!
- Get them. - Wait!
Oh my gosh.
Wait! Please forgive me!
Please forgive me...
You... You!
This tall.
No, I did not see her.
You.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
My chest...
aches and feels tight...
and I cannot stop crying.
- Gil Dong. - Will you let Uh Ri Ni die?
- Gil Dong! - Gil Dong!
Gil Dong!
- Gil Dong! - Gil Dong!
Uh Ri Ni.
You must make sure to stay by my side...
no matter what happens.
Do you understand?
I, the 31st generation son...
of the Park family,
leave behind this letter because I am dying.
If a traveler passing by happens to find it,
please grant me my final wish.
I am back.
No one is there.
I told you.
My goodness.
(THE REBEL)
The King apparently loves to dance and play,
so Gong Hwa is entering the palace, too.
I waited for you.
Why are you following me?
I will be respectful to you from now on.
I need to find So Bu Ri...
and Yong Gae.
Sorry.
Why did you take so long to come?
