Is this what you wanted?
If you don't want to regret it, let go of this hand.
Regret is something humans do. Ghosts don't regret.
What is it? What's going on?
What is it? What is it?
Episode 6
Dirty bastard, wanton bastard. Yes, a bastard like you can't be the Grand Prince. No way.
What's up with you?
Father.
You were busy running away when I tried to teach you when you were little. What led you to pick up the sword?
While living, I realized this is necessary.
Please teach me.
Go easy. Did something happen today?
Nothing happened, nothing.
Then why do you look like him?
Of all people, why do you look like him?
Who exactly are you?
♫ Wake up from your dream ♫
♫ When time passes, as the seasons change ♫
♫ You'll even forget the painful memories ♫
Why do you keep catching my eye?
Why do you keep making my heart pound?
♫ My heart is tinged with the color red ♫
♫ Just think that it's soaked with the glow of the sunset ♫
♫ It's alright, leave in peace ♫
♫ Don't look back, don't worry ♫
♫ Don't remember a single cherished memory ♫
Haven't you gone to sleep yet?
I ended up doing something I shouldn't have done.
♫ I alone will remember ♫
Useless feelings have resurfaced for me.
♫ I long for you, I long for you, if you can't forget me ♫
♫ When the moon shines down, remember me ♫
♫ Just sometimes ♫
Mother. How long have you been here?
Before you said the same phrase seventeen times in your sleep.
What did I say?
He can't not be.
It must be. It must be. It must be.
How did you know?
What?
That you'll get spanked (sounds the same as "It must be")
This girl, will you continue to be like this?
Mother.
You need to be married soon, but you are always out late.
This won't do. Hurry and get dressed.
I must meet the Queen today and wrap up the marriage talk from before.
I can't.
- I can't either. - You really can't.
Oh, I really can't either.
Then, give me four, no three, only two days.
First, I must mentally prepare myself. After, I will either meet with a prospective marriage partner or get married.
Mother. Mother, just two days please.
There is something I must take care of.
You can not, Your Majesty. Even though the three southern provinces suffered from flood,
the areas around the Capital, Gyeonggi, Yeoju, and Icheon have been suffering
from drought for many years already. Park Won Jong, Capital Defense Assistant Commander, 2nd Junior Rank
All the regions are suffering the same hardship, Yoo Soon Jeong, Minister of Defense, Senior 2nd Rank
and you can not only give out special favors for selected regions.
That is right, Your Majesty.
To deploy the Royal Inspector to three southern provinces to carry out aid, Seong Hee An, Deputy Minister of Personnel and Capital Defense Commander, 2nd Senior Rank]
I would have to use the annual budget of the Ministry of General Affairs and Personnel.
Because farmland belonging to you is all located in Gyeonggi-do,
it doesn't matter if land in Gyeongsang-do is submerged in water?
Vice Minister,
to keep your ministry operating,
you are willing to ignore the people of three southern provinces.
How is that whenever I want to do something, it never goes through the first time?
Are you not able to do anything other than opposing for the sake of opposing?
Please deliberate on this matter.
As officials of the country, they only practice arguing with the king.
They argue among themselves, but as soon as I say something they all respond by "Please deliberate on this matter" in unison.
Now is not the time to tell him about the royal offering.
Were you able to catch those pirates?
I have something to say regarding this.
Let's meet in Seonwonjeon shortly. [Seonwonjeon: temple where the deceased king's portrait is displayed]
Where is the owner? Owner?
Look here, ghost!
What? Yesterday wasn't enough?
Yes, it wasn't enough. I must know properly.
Am I that charming?
Enough for a maiden from a distinguished family to throw herself at me with no shame?
Yes, you're attractive.
With good looks, nice voice, and a nice gaze too. Like my Grand Prince.
You're the Grand Prince, aren't you? I am right, aren't I?
By chance, did you get hurt somewhere? So you lost your memory?
Nonsense.
If you really are not, prove it.
Try to convince me with everything you have.
You should try with everything you have.
What you need to do, if a woman wants a response from a man.
Go and learn. Do you think you'll be able to win me with just this?
Why did you come here out of the blue?
When I first saw the portrait of this pirate bastard,
He somehow looked familiar. Im Sa Hong, Chief Royal Secretary, Senior 3rd Rank
I've never seen him before but why does he seem familiar?
Then I realized he and
the late king really look alike.
If my guess is correct,
it explains the hide-and-seek with this bastard.
No way. No way, Lord. He surely died.
We saw the corpse that was transported to the palace.
The face of the corpse was smashed.
That was since he was stabbed and pushed from a cliff...
How can he survive that?
If the Grand Prince Jin Seong is alive,
we will die, Lord.
If he survived,
we just need to kill him again.
How many are there?
There are very many. Roughly estimating there are more than thirty.
It's the same at Mapo and Yanghwajin as well.
All the docks are being watched.
However, thankfully, they are not openly searching.
I thought they would have told the King to have the Royal Guards and police everywhere.
It's because the King is behaving strangely all of a sudden.
The King has suddenly ordered to deploy Royal Inspectors to three southern provinces for relief. Yoon Myeong Hye: Park Won Jong's niece
Why is the King extending good deeds suddenly?
Do you have any guesses?
I guess he suddenly wanted to play the good and wise king.
Now, don't be shy and tell me honestly.
I have a concubine, but she's not very good at grooming herself.
So I would like to teach her.
Oh my, how kind. If that's the case,
Originally mung bean and adzuki bean were ground up and used for face powder,
but it was white and not natural looking.
That's right. So then?
If you add a little bit of powder made from dried safflower petals,
It gives a rosy hue and makes the face look attractive like mine.
Safflower powder?
This is a wing shaped skirt. All the guys die for it,
so even the madams from noble families are copying it.
Take a look at my hair. It's spiraled hair.
This hairstyle is the trend these days.
Can I touch it just once?
Of course.
My hair too.
I see. What is that hair pin?
Oh boy.
Oh boy?
Oh my.
Oh my?
Oh my. Isn't this Lord Lee?
When did I become a Lord?
Well, don't just stand there come and have a seat here.
I thought you would be busy with government work, you're here to have fun again?
What do you take me for? I am here to work today.
At a gisaeng house?
Your drawing skills are extraordinary.
You're drawing a Chinese rose?
Then, I will
This is black and white drawing.
But this is also a drawing of Chinese roses.
That's not it...
Didn't you say it's a black-and-white drawing?
Didn't you say it's a drawing of Chinese roses?
Because the king sent rice to three southern provinces, we need to only focus on the capital and Gyeonggi area.
The King has suddenly deployed Royal Inspectors to three southern provinces.
The area where help is most needed is
Yeonhwabang, Hoyeonbang, and Jungseonbang.
That's over 100 households.
Why are there so many?
Do we have enough snail shells?
We can't only leave behind rice.
We need to leave snail shells with it, that way people would know
the snail bride stopped by and be grateful. [The snail bride did chores while the husband was away and was gone once the husband came home]
Those people would be a great help when Yeok sits on the throne later.
Isn't that right, Yeok?
You could become a good and wise king
A good and wise king?
If you become a good and wise king,
you will be confident in front of the late king's tomb.
The late Grand Prince will also be proud of Your Majesty.
He really wants to become a good and wise king because of that?
Please open the storage. I brought rice from my merchant group.
Young Master Nak Cheon, we need to get going.
Yeah, yeah. Let's go.
♫ If I told you that I love you, ♫
♫ Would you tell me that you love me too? ♫
♫ Baby, would you? ♫
♫ If tomorrow I blew you a kiss, ♫
♫ Would you say please give me some more of this? ♫
Is this good enough? ♫ Would you? ♫
♫ Every day when I open my eyes, ♫
♫ It is you that I see in my mind. ♫
♫ It's you. ♫
♫ But I know that you'll never love me the way ♫
♫ that I love you baby, baby
Did you drink?
No, no. Not liquor but medicine.
A medicine that makes embarrassment, shyness, and other things disappear.
♫ You are the light in my eyes ♫
What on earth do you want?
You need to go somewhere with me.
Take care of it here.
♫ But I know that you'll never love me the way that I love you baby, baby ♫
♫ No matter how hard I try ♫
Even if I do this?
♫ But I know that you'll never love me the way that I love you baby, baby ♫
♫ No matter how hard I try ♫
Hey, you intend to go out now? In this broad daylight?
If you keep getting involved with that maiden, running into the king is only a matter of time.
Didn't you say she's very close to the king?
From when she was young, once she sets her mind, there is no going back.
She won't be turned away by a few words.
So you're saying we need to take special measures?
Do you have a way?
First, I will have to do everything she asks... then...
There is only one way to get rid of a woman for good.
To make her sick and tired of you.
Now then, do as you wish.
I will be yours for today.
Oh my!
What's going on?
- What are you doing? - A good deed.
Look here.
You look presentable now.
Be careful when you're putting stolen goods on the market.
Probably, Im Sa Hong's people would have bought off most of the merchants dealing with stolen goods.
In 10 days, my merchant group is leaving for Ming (China) with the envoy.
I will sell the stolen goods in Ming.
Where is Orabeoni Nak Cheon ?
Young Master Jo. Should we make a bet about who will move the rice faster?
That's good, good. I bet 1 nyang on my win.
I am betting 2 nyang on my victory.
You two, it's more helpful if you just stay still.
Oh, you're right. Hurry. We don't have time.
Think carefully, it's just that you don't remember. Do you remember this place?
That time, me, you, and Seo No. Us three,
sat like this and made an oath to be friends. Don't you remember?
We sat in a row and made an oath with our hands raised.
Aren't you going to do it?
I swear, to the Heavens
without a trace of shame, I will become a sincere friend
When I asked to be friends, you were eager to become one right away.
I couldn't help it because you nagged so much.
Well, for the next stop. I know this amazing place.
How about here?
You crossed here carrying me on your back.
But you were intentionally stumbling saying I was heavy. So I hit your back.
It was the back of my head.
We can get married
But it won't be a political marriage. I am doing this marriage because I like you.
I received a proposal here.
He told me let's live like friends and have fun forever after getting married.
What, what are you doing now?
- It's not there. - What?
What are you doing now?
You could have it on as a necklace, the ring.
The ring that I gave you. The ring that I gave as a promise to wait.
♫ You don't have to speak ♫
Look, will this do?
♫ The sight of you smiling so brightly was blinding ♫
If I am not the Grand Prince Jin Seong,
♫ Because you came a step closer ♫
it won't do?
♫ My heart is pounding ♫
♫ You, who shine so brightly, who are you? My breath stops ♫
♫ I'm staring at you whom I've imagined in my dreams ♫
♫ A flower blooms in my heart ♫
If I am not the Grand Prince Jin Seong, it won't do?
♫ Unconsciously, I keep laughing. Love calls so we ride the clouds ♫
I took to heart your criticism from last time.
Especially your esteemed opinion about managing the budget, was quite impressive.
Thus this time, I decided to demonstrate my sincerity to you.
His Majesty personally painted these late into the night so he could bestow them to the ministers.
With the money from these paintings' sales, I would like to set up a Relief Office to provide aid to the people.
So I hope you could give a good price for these paintings.
Your Majesty, how can we put a monetary value on your paintings?
Yes, how dare we?
This is a Royal command. Please name a price as you wish. I hope it's a good price.
Your subject does not deserve such grace.
Now, now take a look.
- I will accept this painting, Your Majesty. - Thank you.
- Your subject does not deserve such grace. - Your subject does not deserve such grace.
Your subject does not deserve such grace.
Thank you.
Capital Defense Assistant Commander.
By mistake, I put a painting out that belongs to someone else.
It seems this painting means something special to you, Your Majesty.
Something special...
I am going to give it as a present. Get it ready.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It's been a while. Your Highness the Queen Dowager. Sin Soo Geun, Prime Minister, Senior First Rank
Since His Majesty is busy these days, unlike the past, you must have also been busy. Queen Dowager Ja Soon
When His Majesty is trying something for the people, it should be welcomed.
Then, why every court official is leaving the hall with a gloomy expression on his face?
The court officials are people of Joseon too.
By chance, has His Majesty forgotten that fact?
As long as the subjects don't forget that they are people of Joseon and subjects of the King,
His Majesty won't forget that fact either.
Is that right?
I am very reassured to have you by His Majesty's side.
Where are you going now?
It's my turn now. It's only fair we go to a place of my wish too.
In order to be fair, shouldn't you try to match my pace?
♫ My heart is tinged with the color red ♫
♫ Just think that it is soaked with the glow of the sunset ♫
♫ It's alright, leave in peace. ♫
♫ Don't look back, don't worry ♫
♫ Don't remember a single cherished memory ♫
♫ Although we once were together, I alone will remember ♫
♫ You, you, my love ♫
♫ I will keep it shining brightly in the night sky ♫
♫ I long for you, I long for you, if you can't forget me ♫
♫ When the moon shines down, ♫
♫ Please remember me ♫
♫ Just every so often ♫
Didn't you say it's a black-and-white drawing?
Didn't you say it's a drawing of Chinese roses?
It seems this painting means something special to you, Your Majesty.
I'm going to gift it to someone. Prepare it.
I heard he was attacked by a group of bandits on his way to being exiled when he was young.
Grand Prince Jin Seong's tomb
Thank you!
I should be overflowing with gratitude to spend a day with any noble lady,
but with the precious daughter of the Prime Minister, I had a good time.
What?
Are you afraid that he may leap out of his tomb and harm you?
I'm sure you've seen everything, but Maiden Chae Gyeong and I have shared our feelings with each other.
Do you think that's all we shared? We shared our body temperatures
and even our breaths.
Shouldn't the deceased even be suspicious by now?
Are you doing this because you truly believe I'm Grand Prince Jin Seong
or if you're just using Grand Prince Jin Seong as an excuse
to get closer to me.
Look here!
Didn't you ever think that even if you met Grand Prince Jin Seong,
pretending you didn't know him would be good, for his sake?
More than anything... He's your first love and betrothed,
but will he feel the same?
What's the guarantee he'll want to see you again?
Listen well. My name is Nak Cheon and I already have a woman, so...
if you truly care about Grand Prince Jin Seong,
please don't do things to tarnish his name, such as chasing after
another man who's not your husband using him as an excuse.
That's just pitiful for the dead person.
The Grand Prince Jin Seong who liked you no longer exists.
That person is dead.
My name is Nak Cheon
and I already have a woman, so if you truly care about Grand Prince Jin Seong,
don't do things that'll tarnish his name, such as chasing after another man who's not your husband
using him as an excuse.
Yeok! Why are you so wet?
- You'll catch a cold. - You'll be in big trouble if you do!
Then, rest up Yeok.
- You're late. -Yes.
What happened?
About what?
I heard everything from Young Master Baek.
Then you know everything.
That woman... she even came to the pawn shop?
What are you planning to do?
- Orabeoni! - I'm angry.
I'm furious that while I lived a hellish life,
she became close with my brother, out of all people,
so I wanted to torment her.
So,
you spent the entire day with her today
and kissed her the previous day?
Orabeoni, why is your revenge so sweet?
Let's not waste our energy over nothing.
Even if it's nothing,
I must erase it.
Chae Gyeong!
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty!
I don't know what I've just done.
I don't know why I'm acting like this.
How...exactly how...
Get up, your clothes are all wet.
Chae Gyeong! Chae Gyeong!
Chae Gyeong!
Hyungnim, it's me! You must escape.
Hey, you there!
Hyungnim, we must escape! Hyungnim!
We need to leave!
Stop right there!
Shoot!
Jump!
Chae Gyeong!
Your Highness the Grand Prince!
- Chae Gyeong! Chae Gyeong! - Your Highness the Grand Prince.
Exactly what happened?
Why did you look like that earlier? What was all that talk about?
I saw someone who resembled His Highness the Grand Prince.
Someone that resembled Yeok?
Exactly who?
His name is Nak Cheon.
You caught a glimpse of him a few days ago in the tavern.
What's going on,
wife?
So that was the reason you ran out abruptly.
His eyes, voice, and
even his habits were so similar that I was mistaken.
I wanted to prove that he was the Grand Prince, no matter what it took.
So, did you cry so sorrowfully because you realized he was not?
I don't know why I'm crying like this either.
I don't know if it's because of the vicious words I heard from him
or if it's because I was shocked that he isn't the Grand Prince.
If it's not either of those...
I must have gone insane.
I lost my mind.
I don't even know if I have the right to cry like this.
I feel so apologetic towards His Highness the Grand Prince, Your Majesty.
I feel so sorry about His Highness the Grand Prince, Your Majesty.
You lost him?
Did you just tell me you lost him?
I apologize, My Lord, but don't worry.
I've confirmed that he's in the capital so I'll be sure to bring him to you.
There's no need to bring him to me. Kill him on the spot!
He has to die for you to live.
I'll keep that in mind.
Nak Cheon! Exactly what happened?
Why are you so reckless?!
What's the big deal about her that you would chase after her like that?
Orabeoni, you're not in your right state of mind, are you?
Do you really want to die? Do you want to spread rumors of who you are to the entire neighborhood?
If you can't cut her out of your life, I'll do it.
Don't ever forget how we came this far.
I saw someone who resembled His Highness the Grand Prince.
Who is it?
Death is too easy.
You'll soon experience a pain greater than death, Brother.
Your Majesty, are you alright?
Look here.
Queen.
Royal Mother-in-law, what brings you all the way here?
I came out for a night walk and walked this far without realizing.
It seems you were on your way to deliver the herbal tonic to His Majesty the King.
Yes, it seemed as if he had been caught in the rain after taking a leave from the palace.
It hasn't been long since the rain has stopped and the air is quite chilly.
Please do not walk for too long, Your Highness.
You should go.
Do you know how startled I was after I heard Myeong Hye's
message that you might have entered the palace?
I apologize for causing concern.
Exactly why did you do something so reckless?
You have to patiently endure and wait for the right time.
While waiting for that time,
didn't you lose a son?
I...
I am planning to search for a path that suits me.
I'm on my way back, after confirming
that hiding and running away is not my method.
I missed you.
Yeok...
My son...
Royal Mother, please wait a bit longer.
I'll return to your side soon.
What do you think? Do you think it resembles him too?
Whom are you speaking of?
Grand Prince Jin Seong.
What was his name again?
Nak Cheon. Yes, she said his name was Nak Cheon.
With a face that resembled my younger brother's, he met Chae Gyeong.
You may use The Royal Guard, Royal Investigative Bureau, the Police Bureau,
the royal forces, or soldiers. Whatever is necessary.
I'll find him and dispose of him immediately.
No, bring him to me.
I must see him with my own two eyes.
How did he already see this face?
This means we must hurry.
Although he authorized the use of men,
if we use large scale forces, this news will reach the Queen Dowager.
Then, won't this become even more complicated?
We should use the Prime Minister's daughter.
Didn't they say the two already met?
It seems as if he still has lingering feelings,
so he'll fall into the trap.
[Grave of Grand Prince Jin Seong]
♫ You approached silently ♫
Your Highness the Grand Prince, you're very disappointed in me, aren't you? ♫ You smiled at me ♫
I came here to apologize ♫ while offering your hand ♫
so please don't be mad. ♫ The time we spent together ♫
♫ is going far away like a dream ♫
♫ I can't stand the longing now which is growing so ♫
♫ Why didn't I know loving would be that? ♫
I'm sorry.
♫ I can't do anything else but leave ♫
I'm sorry that I confused you with a ridiculous person. ♫ even though I don't want to go ♫
♫ I know now that I can't live without you ♫
I miss you so much... ♫ Don't go far away ♫
so, so I must have lost my mind for a moment. ♫ so I can see you ♫
♫ I love you once again ♫
I'll warn you all once more. Don't get caught and don't step forward either.
We're not trying to become heroes, we're trying to become hope
that the Heavens have not abandoned the people of Joseon.
There are snail shell brides by the people,
we just need to get this message across.
We'll keep that in mind!
I'm going too.
Hey, you can't!
Then should I hide behind you for my entire life?
Is everyone ready?
Yes, sir!
Let's get going.
Monitor every single movement of the Prime Minister's daughter.
- What are you doing?! - The thing is—
Hey, you're a man! What kind of man is afraid of that height? Go over!
Go over! Over!
Catch her! Catch that maiden right now!
Did you forget what happens if you meddle in someone else's affairs?
Y-you...
Did you forget what happens if you meddle in someone else's affairs?!
I heard that child was your friend.
What friend? Do you know what I went through because of this girl?
She involved herself into each of my affairs and disturbed me
Though I shouted at her many times to mind her own business and get lost,
she came on like a leech and complicated things for me.
Your Highness the Grand Prince.
So I told you to not meddle in my business and get lost!
I told you to never appear in front of me again!
It's something I did alone.
It's something I did. I'll gladly take the punishment.
Why are we running away?
Someone was following us.
What did we do wrong?
Even if we didn't do anything wrong, we could still die.
Why are we running away when we haven't done anything wrong?
- Even if we haven't done anything wrong— - We can still die?
♫ Without me knowing, my entire world was filled by you ♫
♫ Without a sound, without me knowing ♫
It is you. I know it's you.
Why are you lying? Why are you denying it?
When it is you? It is you.
♫ What should I do now? My breath is about to stop ♫
♫ As much as my heart aches, I want to embrace you. ♫
♫ I don't want the wind to blow because I might fly away ♫
♫ I buried your smile and tears in my heart ♫
♫ I'll always love only you ♫
Did you really not miss me?
Look at this, whenever I am with you, I get entangled into dangerous incidents
Why was Chae Gyeong captured while trying to help him escape?
They're just blatantly telling Yeok to come to the palace.
Tell me everything you know about him.
I don't know anything.
Grand Prince, you have to appear for this fight to end.
Someone could have set up a trap to harm him!
Why are you going this far to catch him?!
The promise that I would wait for you is now invalid.
Come if you can. I'll gladly meet you.
