"My Sassy Girl"
I appoint you
as a special teacher
to teach the Prince.
Are you alright?
Wait, wait. - You.
If you don't find my ring,
your life here
will become a living hell.
l have heard all about
your greatness.
You passed the Qing state exam
and the Emperor
adored you.
The treasure of Joseon
almost became the Qing Dynasty's.
However, if you do not prove
how worthy you are,
reputations are
all but vanity, don't you think?
If the mountains are tall enough,
the world will see it.
Please do teach
the Prince well.
I will do my best.
I heard the Princess has been coming
to the Prince's sessions lately.
I guess the Princess adores
the Prince a lot.
Then I'll see you later.
Hey, you sex-crazed pervert!
Where are your manners?
Then what should I call you?
Lady-killer?
Mr. Obscene?
Or a player?
l'll back down.
What were you and Officer Kang
talking about?
You can ask him yourself.
Oh, okay.
I'll tell Officer Kang
that a pervert is now
the Prince's teacher
and get his help.
I suddenly miss
Officer Kang a lot.
Wait.
If I find your ring,
will you stop calling me
a sex-crazed pervert?
Of course.
I promise.
You promised.
Stop.
She is the Prince's attendant.
l was in a rush
to get a book for the Prince,
and this idiot
left her identification back there.
I can't believe
how a teacher can lie so well.
I worry about the Prince's future.
It'll be better than the Princess's.
Listen to him.
Oh, my. Hello. - Welcome.
This is a pawnshop
which is run by
an infamous gang.
Is my ring there?
It's a place where smuggled goods
and everything that is
taken illegally from people
are sold and bought.
If someone picked it up,
it would've ended up here.
These men are tough.
Be careful.
What are you doing? Come on.
Come in. - This way.
What are you looking for?
It says right here that you'll
pay back with interest by today.
The ledger does not lie.
If you give me another extension,
I'll pay you back.
Come on.
This is the problem with debtors,
be it a nobleman or a peasant.
They never pay back on time.
They always say, "Next time."
"Next time"?
Please spare me.
You're making me a bad guy because
you keep breaking your promise.
Please let me live as a good man.
Understand?
Boss, you have a guest.
Hey, it's you. The attempted rapist.
The attempted rapist?
You must be a prominent figure.
Do you want to be sued
for defamation?
I'm so scared.
Anyway,
what brings you here?
So these were all smuggled,
stolen, taken away,
and conned from people.
You're a funny lady.
You can take your time.
I must charge you one yang each
for looking.
How can you charge us for that?
We are not in this business
just for fun.
If you don't want to, never mind.
Pardon?
Take a closer look.
I can recognize it at once.
Ms. Na Ju,
overdue interest of 190 yang.
Overdue interest
is 50 yang per day.
Let's go.
Do you have
any gold hairpins?
lt'll cost you two yang each
to look at gold hairpins.
Goodness.
Why do you want to...
I'm a little busy today.
l have to go.
I can't refund the money.
We'll be back.
My ledger.
Get them!
Hey, run!
Boss. - Boss.
They're broken.
Get them!
Follow me.
Money!
Money! - Get the money!
You're a slow runner.
How can you laugh right now?
What are you doing?
We couldn't find my ring today,
but the trip was worth it.
Let's go and eat.
Soju is the best drink
to pair with chicken feet.
Wait, can't you eat chicken feet?
You're a man. What's with you?
Goodness. Why on earth
would you eat something like this?
Just as you are you
and lam me,
eating chicken feet is the only way
I can taste chicken feet.
A man of great caliber should not
hold prejudice against people
or against any food.
I thought you were a great man.
How is it? Isn't it good?
Spicy, sweet,
chewy, and crunchy.
This is the perfect timing
for a glass of soju.
Here you are. Bottoms up.
One more?
Are you
interested in me by any chance?
What? - I get it.
You're shy
because you're the Princess.
Come on, it's all right.
Just tell me the truth.
Stop using your ring as an excuse.
I truly understand how you feel.
What can you do?
It's not a sin to be
drawn to a beautiful man.
However...
However, no thank you.
I'm not an easy man.
I don't like a woman who is
reckless and rash.
Are you drunk
or are you just pretending?
I don't want to waste this on you.
Drink this.
What is this?
lt's Mother's
secret hangover juice.
She used kudzu, honey, ginger,
vinegar, cucumber,
persimmon, fugu...
What else?
Eels.
Anyway, she mixed
everything that is
good for relieving a hangover.
I don't know if this is
medicinal or poisonous though.
It may taste bad,
but drink it all for my sake, son.
You sure adore your son, don't you?
Yes, all right. Good boy.
Look, you have dark circles.
Goodness, why have you been
drinking so much lately?
Open your mouth.
Are you secretly dating someone?
Hey, your brother wouldn't do that.
I did hear about
how you must
go to these parties to succeed
instead of studying more.
But do look after your health.
Yes, Mother.
Are you interested in me
by any chance?
I'm not
an easy man.
I don't like a woman who is
reckless and rash.
Gosh, what have I done?
Goodness!
Did you get sick
after drinking that juice?
Wu.
Don't you think Da Yeon is pretty?
She is the best one
out of all the single ladies in...
You should date Da Yeon.
It'll be great for our family
to be in-laws with the vice premier.
Be quiet, you ugly dog.
My head hurts, so go outside.
I can set you up
with her for sure.
Is this because of
that girlfriend of yours?
I don't have a girlfriend.
Gosh, I'm so relieved.
I thought the jade ring was...
The jade ring?
Well...
I wasn't going to keep it.
What is this?
It's a piece of art
which the jade master
from the Qing Dynasty created.
These lovebirds are beautiful.
You should try it on.
Goodness, it's perfect.
My brother does have
sharp eyes after all.
This is actually
a gift from my brother to you.
It's from Gyeon Wu?
My lady.
Were you trying that on again?
What is it?
You have a guest.
What brings you here?
Da Yeon, first of all,
I apologize.
What do you mean?
About the jade ring
that Hee gave you.
You mean your present?
l was wondering
how I can repay you.
I believe
there was a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
I must
take it back.
What should I do?
I don't have it with me.
You don't?
It's at a jade shop for cleaning.
If you tell me where it is,
l'll visit the place.
I did not say that
l'll return it to you.
Da Yeon.
I'll see you
at the lantern festival in two days.
I'll tell you then
whether I've decided
to return it to you or not.
Giddy up, giddy up!
Giddy up!
Let's go!
Giddy up! - Easy.
Congratulations, Vice Premier Jeong.
There is no one in this land
who shoots arrows better than you.
It's all because
Your Highness has led us well.
You are too modest.
I would love to learn from you.
Could you teach me your secrets?
There is nothing special.
Keep your eyes on them.
You must not miss
even the smallest movement.
That's all.
The smallest movement.
No.
Don't you dream about
sneaking out again.
Have you forgotten
what His Majesty said
before he left for hunting?
Father is
returning tomorrow.
I will look
for the jade ring.
All right, gosh.
Put this away.
Burn it.
Princess!
These are your favorite
snacks...
Princess? - Princess.
Princess.
Princess!
Hurry up.
Are these everything you've got?
Yes.
Princess?
You look just like a princess.
How can you be
so perfectly beautiful?
I'm sorry for the trouble, Da Yeon.
I got
the presents confused.
Did he even
get a present for me?
Yes, of course.
It's all my fault.
I'll find out if that's true
after I meet him today.
Officer Kang!
What is it?
The Princess is gone again.
It looks like
she sneaked out yet again.
Didn't you keep your eyes on her?
I apologize.
lf His Majesty finds out,
it won't end with writing the rules.
He'll be furious.
Please help us.
So the Princess sneaked out again?
Giddy up.
Vice Premier.
What's going on?
Tonight will be
a long night.
What? How can it be long?
The sun is still up.
You useless scum.
You idiot. You too.
Darn you.
You are all useless. Darn you.
Take this.
You useless idiots.
How can you call yourself
one of Do Chi's subordinates
when you can't even catch
those two petty jerks?
Are you Do Chi?
How can I help you?
Wow, I should've come here first.
This is my heart.
Please read this.
You are brighter than the moon and
more beautiful than a peach blossom.
Da Yeon.
You are
so perfect to me.
Mal Geum.
My heart has been
renewed because of you.
People say jewels are beautiful,
but they cannot
surpass your beauty.
What a waste of paper and ink.
You should be studying
instead of writing such things.
l have a previous engagement.
Excuse me.
Da Yeon.
What is this?
Did you give it to the right guy?
You paid 30 yang
for this piece of rubbish?
That cannot be right.
No, it was 30 yang.
She must be meeting up with Wu.
Be quiet.
What?
Gyeon Wu?
Look at that.
He hasn't been around for two days.
I got you.
What is the story behind this?
You looked so desperate.
Is this a token from your lover?
A token?
l was merely holding onto it
for someone else.
Please don't misunderstand.
I liked it so much
that I didn't want to give it back.
I did think about
keeping you waiting for a while.
But then I remembered
how desperate you looked
while searching for this jade ring.
Thank you.
It was yours to begin with.
Of course, I should give it back.
Oh, right.
I wanted to thank you with this.
It's so beautiful.
Honey!
Honey.
You left me behind.
Were you here
to see another woman?
Honey?
How long will you
keep being rude to him?
Oh, look.
It's the lady from before.
Who are you?
We have even spent
a night together.
What on earth are you saying?
Why?
Am I wrong?
Honey?
Don't you remember
how you undid my garment?
Goodness, what is with you?
You should report her to the police.
There's no cure for a crazy stalker.
What? A crazy stalker?
"A crazy woman"
You!
Have you been calling me that?
You sex-crazed pervert!
Which family are you from?
Why do you care?
Is your family so noble?
You must be accustomed to using
your authority to put people down.
What did you say?
Da Yeon, this isn't good.
Please excuse me.
Come.
Where are we going?
Hey, let go. Let go of me.
Da Yeon.
Da Yeon, are you okay?
Who is that girl?
Let go. Let go of me.
Let go.
Why are you here again?
I came to find my jade ring.
What about you?
What are you doing here?
I came to find yourjade ring.
Jade ring? No way.
You pretend to be the best scholar
in Joseon at the palace,
but you are
out here like a beastly male
looking for a mate.
Did you think you could fool me
by saying you came to find my ring?
Hey, hey!
Wu!
Wu, look.
Everyone's good-looking.
I'm not going home tonight.
Wait, who is
this beautiful lady?
Hey, wait.
Isn't she your enemy?
Enemy?
What do you mean "enemy"?
Isn't she Wu's lover?
My lover?
Oh, you must be his friends.
Recently, this gentleman has been
following me, saying he's smitten,
so we were talking things out.
I guess that's what makes
a student from Yanjing different.
Excuse me, miss.
We have a great spot there.
Do you want to join us?
No, she is in a hurry to leave.
I am fine.
Where is your spot?
Over there.
Come with us. - Come.
Let's go. - Yes, let's go.
What will you do now?
l have to see your friends
to know who you are.
I want to see if you're worthy
to be the Prince's teacher.
Wait for me.
Scholars, wait for me.
Yes, Queen Dowager.
It's a day for young people to
lawfully associate with each other.
It's frustrating to be stuck here.
During the old times,
I would have
stayed up all night partying.
It's sad to see time go by.
You still look great.
Then should we go to Namsan
without notifying the King?
That's the best spot
to watch the lantern festival.
Pardon?
I'm kidding. Just kidding.
If you think about it,
our Princess is in her prime too.
It would be so great if she could
go see the festival.
Then
should the three of us...
No, the Prince too.
Should the four of us go?
What if His Majesty finds out?
He won't be in the palace tonight.
You never know.
The King game?
Become the King?
That is one profane game.
This is just a party game.
It isn't to dishonor the King.
Do not misunderstand.
Misunderstand?
It sounds really fun.
Let us begin already.
Wow, you know how to party.
Then let us play this game.
Let's do it.
Okay, take one each.
Who is the King?
Me.
I'm the King.
Okay, then who's the loser?
It looks like I'm the loser.
It's the first round. Go easy.
This is a game.
I can't go easy on her.
Let me see.
Okay. Listen, loser.
"I am a crazy stalker."
Repeat this 10 times
as loudly as you can.
Hey. My goodness, that's too harsh.
A game is a game,
and rules are rules.
Now, what will you do?
If you return home now,
I'll call the penalty off.
I'm glad you're going home.
You should return home...
I am a crazy stalker!
I am a crazy stalker! - Oh, my.
How can a woman do that?
She is unbelievable.
This is an embarrassment
to all the women in Hanyang.
Hee, have you seen her before?
She says she's a crazy stalker.
She has nothing to do with Wu.
She's just crazy, that's all.
Don't mind her, Da Yeon.
Humiliating Da Yeon
is like humiliating all of us.
Let's show that weird girl
that she shouldn't cross us.
Should we?
I'm the King!
lam
not the loser.
Me. I lost again.
Tell me what to do.
You should be nervous.
You two. Switch your sticks.
Who said, "A game is a game,
and rules are rules"?
I will follow your order.
How can you do this?
You.
How dare you go against me.
You are indescribably rude.
Is anyone there?
Bind the sinner up.
Goodness. - Wait.
It's the King's orders.
I cannot help you. - Wait.
Beat the sinner!
Hey, wait.
I'm sorry.
One.
Two.
Are you kidding me?
Hey, don't give that to her.
Five.
Six.
Oh, my goodness. - Master.
That hurts!
Will you stop?
Oh, my goodness.
Guys, stop her.
Please stop.
Isn't that the scholar
we saw at the police station?
Am I right?
You have a good memory.
Who is
that bold lady?
Eight.
Goodness, she sneaked out again.
Do you know her?
Yes.
She is a lady of noble birth
whom we cannot even associate with.
That's 10.
Wu, I'm so sorry.
Help me, guys.
You should return to the palace
before the sun sets.
Since I'm already here,
l'll fly a lantern before I go.
You are uncontrollable
and impossible.
What?
I don't care if you decide
to fly a lantern or not.
Fine. Go. Just go.
I won't hold you back.
We need to talk.
One bad apple ruins a barrel.
Like that, you are the one who ruins
the reputation of women in Hanyang.
Teacher Gyeon?
Apologize to Da Yeon
immediately.
If she wants to talk,
she should come here herself.
How can she send her subjects?
How shameful.
What? Her subjects?
Why are you so arrogant anyway?
Do you want to learn a lesson?
How dare you.
If you want to fight,
bring it on.
Come on.
I said come on, you idiots.
Where are you going?
You can't beat me.
She was here
just now.
Why didn't you bring the Princess
back to the palace?
We must find her
before the sun sets.
We're far from the temporary palace.
Will you keep walking?
When would I ever get to stroll
outside of the capital city
like I am doing now?
That is why we asked you
to go hunting once in a while.
It's a huge inconvenience
for the people
whenever I'm on the move.
How can I
make a move so easily?
Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
Guard His Majesty!
Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Guard him.
Your Majesty, are you all right?
"Today, the King will cry bitterly
over losing his child."
It must be very dangerous.
Get it done
without making a mistake.
When you're through,
we'll give you twice more.
As you will find out later,
I will be worth every single yang.
Where is she?
Wu.
Does she think this is her bedroom?
Hey, wake up.
Wake up.
Have you come to your senses?
Who are you people?
Let go of me.
Where's my ledger?
Are you doing this
just because of that ledger?
Well, this and that.
Where's my ledger?
Tell me right now.
Will you let go of me if I do?
If you don't,
you will be beheaded.
I'll tell you if you let go of me.
Don't you understand the situation?
You're the one who doesn't.
I guess you don't need your book.
I'll kill you.
Do you want me to make some scars
on that pretty face of yours?
Put that knife away.
Oh, my goodness.
There are a lot
of familiar faces today.
Teacher Gyeon.
Kids, greet our guest.
What?
What are you doing, you idiots?
Oh, man.
Teacher Gyeon!
"My Sassy Girl"
The men who made the rumors
did this.
Keep it well.
Do not lose it again.
So you keep thinking of her?
She was my mortal enemy
whom I never wanted to see again.
Are you interested in me?
I said, who's behind this?
Hit me instead.
Do you think I won't?
Did you sneak out again?
I doubt His Majesty
could overlook this.
Take her and lock her up.
