[My Sassy Girl]
My marriage was used to instigate illegal trade?
It may be part of a plan for treason.
How dare they!
You have worked very hard.
I will tell the king of Joseon about your allegiance--
It was not due to allegiance.
I did it for myself.
It was for yourself?
Do you recognize this writing?
Is this the Sam Go Cho Rye fan that I have only heard about?
The emperor wished for me to stay in the Qing Dynasty.
So he gave this to me.
Whenever you show this fan...
you are to be granted a wish.
That is what you were promised, isn't that correct?
Please give up on the marriage.
That is all that I want.
"Jerk."
You jerk!
"Jerk"?
"Jerk"... what does this mean?
Uh...
It means she's in a good mood.
Jerk...
A desperate heart can sometimes create a miracle.
"I have learned many lessons and now I am departing."
"I will not forget all the memories I have had with you."
"Please be happy."
"I will always pray for your happiness, Princess."
Why is it that you look disappointed?
Of course I am. The Imperial Prince is handsome.
Then go follow him to the Qing Dynasty.
It is not too late.
Young Master Gyeon, are you angry?
Angry? What are you talking about?
Come now. You are angry.
Are you going to keep this up?
Goodness, I must be completely blind.
How could I find a petty man like this more handsome than the Imperial Prince?
What? What did you just say?
You heard me.
I did not hear you.
I said you were more handsome.
You are beautiful.
Really? Oh you...
They are just dripping with honey, aren't they?
Who are your accomplices?
This is treason.
Do you plan on taking the blame all on your own?
Minister.
Until you tell us everything that happened...
you will not get out of this place.
If by chance...
you believe someone will get you out
you can forget about that.
Your Majesty, the criminal must be put to death.
We already have the evidence.
We know he was plotting a rebellion. He should not be left alive.
You must behead him and make an example out of him.
You cannot, Your Majesty.
How can we execute him without a proper interrogation?
Yes, a thorough investigation is the first priority.
Your Majesty, we must have a king's interrogation.
There may be other accomplices.
The criminal must be interrogated thoroughly.
There must be nothing left to doubt.
What do you think about it, Minister of the Left?
Minister?
I believe it is an excellent idea.
I will interrogate him myself in three days.
I want everyone to attend.
Please cooperate in exposing the truth.
Yes, Your Majesty.
A king's interrogation?
What will we do if the Minister of Finance really starts to talk?
The Office of Internal Audit is watching over him very carefully.
Kang Joon Young has his men watching, so it will be difficult to get to him.
We only have three days.
So, we must get him.
You know what happens if we cannot cut out rotten flesh.
I heard you put in a lot of work to catch the Minister of Finance.
Thank you for that.
I am a loyal subject to my nation and a scholar doing what is right.
You do not need to refer to it as work.
I will give you a reward.
Is there a position you want?
I did not do it for a reward.
Just tell me.
I truly wish to repay you.
You are reinstated as Wonja's teacher?
Is something wrong with that?
He told you to name any position you wanted.
But all you wanted was to be Wonja's teacher?
What is wrong with being in education?
Well, there are many better positions.
I can see you more often in a comfortable setting, Your Highness.
Also, Prince Wonja will be the future king of the nation.
What could be important than teaching him what is right?
Why are you looking at me that way?
Because I adore you.
Your Highness.
Princess.
- Your Highness! - You scared me.
You want to die?
Do you know how many times I called you?
You didn't realize because you were thinking about Young Master Gyeon.
Well...
how do you know I was thinking about Young Master Gyeon?
It is obvious. You turn all red.
You smile to yourself all day long.
Do you think we are blind or deaf?
Was I doing that?
Are you that happy?
I don't know! I don't know...
Oh, stop looking at me.
Lady...
Wait just one moment.
Oh... my lord.
What is it?
I asked you what is going on.
She heard that the princess's marriage is over because of Young Master Gyeon Woo.
However...
who was it from the Qing Dynasty that requested marriage to the princess?
Why would you ask that?
It is mere curiosity.
What do you mean resign?
You can stay with family in Jeonju in the countryside.
Why don't you focus more on your studies?
Father, why?
Once a tree grows bigger, it must endure more wind and rain.
Rather than get a moment of sunshine...
it is sometimes better to find shade and wisdom.
I understand your worries, but I cannot do that.
Gyeon Woo.
How can I become a strong and healthy tree by running away from rain and wind?
Trust me and watch over me.
Listen to your father.
- Mother... - You keep having strange dreams.
You are not feeling well.
You can feed him better herbal medicines. Why would he resign?
Why are you and Father acting this way?
- You be quiet. - Am I wrong?
Being Wonja's teacher is a very good--
I told you to shut your mouth.
Mother.
Gyeon Woo, I don't like my son being in danger.
I don't like you in the palace getting involved with the princess.
Think about it again, all right?
Don't leave.
Please don't leave.
Please...
Turn them around.
Your Highness!
Why are you causing such a commotion?
The Dowager Queen is asking for you.
Grandmother?
Your face looks good today.
You have suffered a lot in the past, haven't you?
I did not feel at ease either.
I am certain the king felt the same.
I heard everything.
About why you have been climbing over the palace wall lately.
About why you felt you could not tell us anything.
Nonetheless, no matter what your reasons were
to those who did not know your situation
you only appeared to be a princess who did not know how to behave.
Therefore, you put the king in a very difficult position.
I apologize for that, Grandmother.
It is not too late.
Show the people of the nation the way a princess should be.
Thank you, Master.
- Pardon me? - You stopped my sister from leaving.
It was important for me as well.
Do you like it that much?
Excuse me?
Uh...
I mean about being reinstated in your old job.
Yes, of course.
I am so happy to be able to teach you again, Prince Wonja.
Wonja!
Oh my... you are here too, Young Master Gyeon.
Have you come?
Sister, didn't you know I had class?
Wonja, why don't you eat these?
Oh! Honey rice cakes.
Go on and eat.
Young Master Gyeon, you should try some.
I made them myself, so don't leave any and eat them all.
Yes, Your Highness.
You made them yourself?
Of course. Go on and try it.
Master, you should try it first.
Yes.
How is it, Young Master Gyeon?
Wow, this is...
I've never tasted something like this before.
It is quite unique.
Does that mean it is good?
Yes.
Sister, what is this?
What did you put in the honey rice cakes?
Is it salt instead of honey?
Why? Is it salty?
Master, is it really good?
Yes.
It is completely covered in salt.
Did I put too much in the dough?
The seasoning is just right for me.
Why are you looking at me?
Right there...
What is it?
Do I have beauty on my face or something?
You could just tell me if I have something on my face.
How dare you do that!
I apologize.
Sister, why would you get so angry over that?
Well, you saw what Young Master Gyeon did.
I cannot hold it in any longer.
Young Master Gyeon, come see me for a moment.
Why is she acting like that?
I believe I made a mistake.
Please don't worry. I will go and apologize.
I will be doing volunteer work at a free clinic.
Volunteer?
It is my punishment for climbing over the wall from my grandmother.
- You do deserve it. - What?
Think about everything that happened.
You want to die?
If we die together.
Anyway, please be careful.
Don't worry. Byul Yi and Young Shin will be coming with me.
By the way, what is going on with the Minister of Finance?
He is still holding out.
Stop right there.
Bring that over here.
Officer Kang.
They are already plotting to get rid of you.
Are you trying to mock me?
The king's interrogation will be the day after tomorrow.
You need to reveal everything then.
That is the only way you can save your life.
He is still keeping his mouth shut.
I offered to lessen his sentence if he would talk.
Yet he refuses to make a move.
He still believes they will save him somehow.
He will not want to believe he has been cast aside.
I will do my best to convince him before your interrogation.
It failed?
Thankfully, the Minister of Finance has not turned on us yet.
Do you think that matters right now?
I apologize.
Minister, the queen is asking for you.
I said I will take care of it and all you need to do is be patient.
How can I be patient?
The marriage fell apart.
The Imperial Prince left and the Princess remains.
Now, the Minister of Finance...
has been arrested for illegal trade with the envoys.
I did not realize he was plotting a rebellion.
Are you truly saying that you did not know?
How could I predict what he would do?
You put in the offer of marriage to the Qing Dynasty.
The offer of marriage came from the Qing Dynasty.
Yes.
It did.
By the way...
you are curious about far too much, Your Majesty.
Do not try to know everything.
The more you know...
you will put yourself in more danger.
Minister.
What in the world are you up to?
Even if it is volunteer work, aren't you dressed too modestly?
They will have high expectations thinking the princess is very pretty.
That sounds like you are saying I am very unattractive.
Oh no. Not at all.
Princess, your beauty would not be hidden by clothes.
I am not going there to look pretty.
I am going there to help those who are suffering.
I want you both to work hard too, all right?
- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.
[Welcome! Her Highness the Princess Volunteering]
Oh, I hate that kind of thing.
What can you do about it?
Are you from the palace?
But...
where is the princess?
Uh...
Did she not come with you?
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Please... forgive me.
It really is fine.
You really are all right with it?
Yes, it is fine.
I am not such an uptight princess.
Ah, I see.
Why don't you head over there?
You can rest comfortably while you are here.
We have prepared a spot for you.
Rest comfortably?
Yes, we have prepared a table full of tea and food.
Please follow me.
That will not be all right.
- Pardon me? - I have come here to work.
I did not come here to relax.
So, please give me work to do. I will work hard at whatever it is.
It is dangerous. Play over there.
Get over here. Get over here.
Kids, come take your medicine. Take your medicine.
Come on.
Good for you. Take your medicine.
Eat up.
Please eat this.
"Yak Chung Il Myeon Seol, Pyeon Gyeon Sang Yi Byul."
"Yak Chung Il Myeon Seol..."
"Pyeon Gyeon..."
"Sang Yi Byul."
If you only listen to one person's side, a separation will soon follow.
Master, are you all right?
Yes, I am.
I told you.
Why did you eat so many of those salty rice cakes?
I think you will understand once you become an adult.
Young Master Gyeon.
I picked them up on my way here.
Did you come to pick me up?
I was just walking by, so I came.
You did come to pick me up. You even brought me flowers.
