Save me! Save me! Save me!
- Young Master. - What happened?
The Crown Princess… my lady…
- Where are they? - The rear of the house, in my lady's room.
This!
- It's an antidote. - Antidote?
He told me to feed this to her today before sundown.
That otherwise, she would die by the time the sun went down.
Crown Princess.
Crown Princess, are you alright?
Say something. What exactly— What exactly happened here? Why are you here alone?
Crown Princess.
Dan!
Lady San… drank the poisoned tea in my stead.
- The crown princess is inside. Go get her. - Yes, Your Highness.
What is it? Where are you going?
Dan is alright.
- What about the lady? - She was taken.
- He asked for me to come alone. - Who?
Song In. This guy wants me.
You stay. I'll go alone.
You guys don't follow me either. It's an order.
I'll stay unseen, as if I were but a shadow.
San consumed poison.
I have the antidote.
The friend that I met at age 12,
showed me the world.
And that world, had you in it.
You were like a little bird, and I was a bush that was enchanted by the little bird.
The sky is vast, and you are so small.
Where on earth are you?
The summer wears on.
The mountains look like the ocean, a deep blue-green.
We must be heading north then.
You're not going to ask where we're going?
I want to ask something else.
I'll give you an answer.
Eight years ago…
My mother and 20 or so household members, at Sunjeokjae.
Did you give the order to kill everyone?
I don't really remember. It was such a long time ago.
Try to remember.
Someone has thought about that day every single day for the past 8 years.
Thinking, what I could've done back then.
Thinking, what I could've done to save them.
But… you don't remember? Because it's been so long?
One can build a house by gathering pebbles and clay right?
But if I were to ask the name of every pebble and be concerned about each and every life story,
I would never be able to build a house.
My lifelong hobby was to build houses.
Small houses, big houses…and each time, the materials were always, people.
So what did you gain?
Just… a day's enjoyment?
The Crown Princess should be vomiting blood about now.
She'll be dead after sunset. Let's see now.
The Crown Prince's mother,
friend, and wife… I got rid of them all.
It's now your turn.
Are you having fun?
It excites me for sure. What should I do when the Crown Prince rushes here?
What would be the most exciting way to kill you right before his eyes?
Should I ask him to choose between your life and the antidote for the Crown Princess?
- But what a shame. - What do you mean?
I ruined your fun.
Stop! I said stop!
You said she needed to ingest the antidote before sundown?
Yes. I think we have about two hours. Before the day wears on even further-
- This way should be faster. - This is strange.
- What is? - They asked you to come to Yongju?
It said so in the note.
A man on the run, leaves not just one, but two letters to state his escape route and have you come after him?
- It is indeed strange. - Requesting that you come alone, above all else?
- I also know it's strange. - And yet?
The sun will set soon.
Your servant Lee Seung Hyu, greets His Majesty, the King.
Now, you come to see me? Last I saw you, you spat out all sorts of despicable things to me and was dismissed from my presence.
Because I was shooed out.
You still should have come by! And given me more sour words.
You should have done so until it got through to me!
It would have been hard.
You do tend to only want to listen to the words of sly conniving servants.
Queen Wonseong has passed on.
While I was asleep.
I heard that you've been here at the Wonseong palace since you woke up.
When I woke up, everything was over.
The Buddhist funeral ceremony to see her spirit off and everything.
I didn't even get to see her face one last time…
everything was already over.
I…
Was her lifelong husband and king.
You were unwell.
I heard that you also nearly passed on to the next life too.
What else did you hear?
That you put together a rebel force.
And Queen Wonseong, who opposed your actions
was discretely murdered by you.
What did you say? I did what?
That you gave an order to the troops at the Goreyo Yuan borders.
To prepare scrupulously for war.
Where did you hear such things?
- Who is saying what? - Soon, people from Yuan will arrive
and they will be officially withdrawing the support and protection Yuan had been offering to Goryeo. (Saejogujae: 世朝舊制)
If so, the nation Goryeo will cease to exist
and a temporary dispatched governing party will be organized (Jungdonghaengsung: 征東行省)
and I have been instructed to head the party.
Lee Seung Hyu…you dare to…
I hear that I am well respected and revered both in Goreyo and Yuan.
It seems I'm made quite a name for myself!
And so..? You've come here to claim what's been given?
My nation, from my grasp?
If I were to accept such a post, my lifespan would decrease by roughly 15 years.
I don't have much time as it is, so it would be such a waste.
Therefore, Your Majesty.
I hope that you, Your Majesty, will protect this nation.
It seems something isn't working out quite as you had planned.
Makes me happy.
Moo Seok!
My antidote is missing.
I took it.
Give it to me.
I already handed it over to them.
What did you just say?
I wanted to give them the royal seal too, but didn't have a chance to steal those from you yet.
Hand them over to me. The royal seal of the King of Goryeo.
You plan on defying me?
When I allowed you to live, fed you,
clothed you, and raised you?
I have never defied you. I would wield my sword and kill when you told me to-
Right, and all you need to do is continue to do so.
I only did so because you said that you were working for the sake of Goryeo.
Is this because I told you to kill your woman? Are you angry because of that?
- I found out that you,
I found out that you were planning on handing over this country to Yuan.
Moo Seok!
Don't do this. I still need you.
When the Crown Prince comes, you need to serve as a shield in front of me.
My father was a chief general
in the Sineui army of the Sambyelcho Rebellion forces.
I know. He died fighting against Yuan, leaving you behind.
And that is why I-
Hand them over. The seal of the King of Goryeo.
Aren't we like…blood brothers?
Moo Seok, it's me.
I thought I taught you never to hesitate.
It's wheel tracks. Fresh too.
Stand up.
You followed me all this way, in this condition?
- I can bear it. - I go alone from here on out.
- You can't do that. - Are you crazy?!
I can't bring myself to let that happen.
Ok, fine. Then hand me the antidote. It's getting wet with the blood!
- Your Highness!! - Wait. I'll bring her back.
I think the sun will go down soon.
Please hold on a while longer.
The pain…will not last too long.
I can't believe my eyes!
You actually came here alone.
- The Crown Prince of Goryeo to save one woman. - Where is San?
- She's dying. - What do you want?
- And you would give anything? - Tell me.
I thought of this for a moment - should I become the owner of this nation, Goryeo?
You speak too much.
Should I get rid of the King of Goryeo, become the head of all the provinces,
and I…reign over this land.
So you can hand it over to Yuan?
But it became bothersome to me.
I'm just going to be satisfied with taking the nation away from you.
Because it is the very last thing left for you.
Indeed, you talk too much.
So you want to kill me? What of the lady then?
I'll kill you first and look for her myself.
There is nothing that you can do better than I.
Brains, temper…even wielding a sword.
If so, then why should you reign over this nation's people?
I am more of a king material than you,
and would do better?
It looks to me that you won't be able to hold that position for too long.
Young Master Wang Rin, can you still not see
whose side you should be on?
Where is San? Where is San, tell me!!!
Tell me! Say it!
Your highness! Your highness! This way.
- San! - Lady!
San! San!
She should be alright, right?
I don't know. I poured the entire thing for her.
You need to be alright.
We should take her to a physician. I'll bring the carriage.
Open your eyes! Open your eyes, So Hwa!
So Hwa! Open your eyes.
So Hwa! We're here.
You need to open your eyes. You need to.
It seems he has arrived, My Lord.
I have been waiting for you all night.
Good. We have two patients in the carriage, so I'll leave them in your care.
There is something you need to know before you go.
Assistant Royal Secretary. Why are you part of that group?
The temporary dispatched governing party here had a lot of things they wished to know,
so I was assisting them here and there.
What is it you wish to know?
You are in the presence of the King of Goryeo. How dare you put forth such an abominable object!
They found this talisman underneath the headstone of Wonseong Palace.
- A talisman? - The Princess of Wonseong was murdered by a shamanic talisman curse.
This here is the very evidence!
The person that made this abominable object is Mu Bi.
And Mu Bi, is your woman, Your Majesty!
There are many court ladies who confessed to it!
What is it you wish to say?
Her Higness the Princess was the daughter of Great former Emperor Kublai Khan!
The imperial court of Yuan wishes to ask after the truth behind her death!
It seems you will need to accompany us back to Yuan!
The former Emperor promises to allow the King of Goryeo to have full jurisdiction over matters that occur in Goryeo.
Such is the heart of the Saejogujae.
You dare to defy Saejo Kublai's wishes and intervene in the matters of the Goryeo court?
His majesty is the son-in-law of the great Saejo Emperor!
Both Emperor Saejo and Princess Wonseong have passed away!
And thus, he is no longer his son-in-law.
I, ordered my people,
and cursed my own Queen to death?
Why would I?!
Inside Goryeo, there is an Anti-Yuan force. And there has even been testimony
that the leader, is you, Your Majesty.
It's a false accusation!
When the Princess sought to reveal this,
did you murder her to keep her silent?
Deputy State Minister! (Pyung jang jeong sa: 平章政事)
If you are innocent, prove it to us in Yuan!
I can prove it for you right here.
Royal Father. At your orders, I sought after the leader of the Anti-Yuan force.
I shot an arrow at him, and he died on the spot.
This is his blood. Still wet to the touch.
Before he died, he gave his confession.
That horrendous thing. He made it.
Compliment me, Father. Tell me I did good.
Your Highness, the Crown Prince! I am the Deputy State Minister, Gogochu.
Long time no see.
Have you found the royal seal?
The royal seal?
Royal Edict
This is a written order to our armed forces at the border!
To prepare for battle.
The one who is even letting a border stay in place is us, Yuan!
And yet you wish to go to war against us?
How could you bring such a nonsensical document and point fingers?
It bears the royal seal…of the King!
The one who stamped the seal is naturally the leader of the Anti-Yuan forces.
And so, we must ask you.
Your Majesty.
Who has the royal seal?
Why are you up already?
You should rest a little longer.
I slept for so long that my back begun to ache.
Your complexion isn't well yet though.
You have dark circles under your eyes too.
Are you saying that I'm ugly?
I did wrong.
Because you were quick to admit your fault, I will let it go.
Do you want something to eat? Porridge?
What is it?
I'm reading your face. 'What is young master Wang Rin thinking right now?'
I have eyes only for the person in front of me.
I've got it.
So what am I thinking about?
The leader of the Anti-Yuan forces.
Saejoguje.
So you heard?
Goryeo. Yuan.
His Highness, the Crown Prince.
Pine nut porridge, milk porridge, rice porridge.
- Milk porridge. - I'll prepare some for you.
You're going to make it yourself?
I was going to order it for you.
What is it?
I wanted to look at you for a while longer before I left.
I can't read you at all.
You're reading my thoughts again?
What are you thinking of right now,
to makes me nervous to death.
The Crown Princess prepared some Yakgwa for you. (Yakgwa: deep-fried, wheat-based snack)
Pick it up.
She didn't put any poison in it.
She felt uneasy that she hasn't been able to come to pay her greetings in the past while.
Try some. She's quite a cook.
Don't let it bother you.
He may be abnormally skeptical, narrow minded, and bears long grudges…but he's nice.
Not something a son who
tried to take over his father at every chance should say.
Did you hear?
I was going to add that your Baduk skills are pretty shabby too.
And you? Do you even know how to hold a Baduk piece?
I learned from my mother.
She had very few that could contest her skills in the entire nation of Goryeo.
I taught her Baduk to begin with.
No way.
How could you be so unlucky to meet someone like him as your husband?
He is someone who regards his parents as a worn shoe he's about to throw away.
He also regards this country as nothing more than a card game.
A man that doesn't even understand filial ties…how would he know the romantic ties between a man and woman?
Crown Princess…
I pity you so.
Just take it as his words of blessing.
We have given you are greetings, so we will take our leave. Please allow us to leave.
White side or black side? Do you even know how to count up the pieces?
Are you all right?
I am all right. I feel a little nauseous, but…
That's a relief.
I am still unwell though.
It's a relief.
You cry just as easily as Bi Yeon. That's why I came.
I do cry easily.
My brothers made fun of that all the time.
Ah… I have a question to ask.
You could ask me a hundred and I wouldn't mind.
I've heard people say you are a good cook.
Is there any special trick you have?
There's nothing much but I've loved it a lot since I was a child.
If you throw me out to Yuan, your chapter will open up at long last.
Go on and be a king all you want.
I'm already acting in the capacity of a king.
While you were enchanted by a demonic thing and couldn't come to your senses.
Your language is as vulgar as a street thug.
I always roamed the streets.
Am I to blame?
Since I couldn't learn from my father, I could learn from the streets.
It's after the death of the king your maternal grandfather
As expected you aren't in a very strong position.
Since my mother passed away too, I'm like a kite without its string.
What they want is Goryeo.
I know.
Protect Goryeo's name by whatever means possible.
Goryeo's name and the like might be insignificant to you who are of mixed blood.
It is special. For me as well.
What would become of the people in a nameless country?
Becoming a servant or at best, become a tool preying on their own people.
So by any means, protect it.
Who is holding the seal?
It's completely lost.
In the royal edict that was sent to the military forces at the border to prepare for war.
The one to stamp the seal must surely have been Song In.
I heard he was killed. Was he searched?
He didn't have it.
If you find the seal?
I'll say I stamped it.
What nonsense are you spewing?
The line may have fallen, but I am still of Yuan bloodline. So I will go to Yuan.
- There's no way they would kill me. - What nonsense…
If you go, goodness knows what they will do to you.
And also…
What's that?
Although it fell and came apart, its the petals from a peony.
Someone took care of it.
A peony.
Could it have been your mother's?
Just before she died, she asked for a single peony.
This is the one.
Must you do that?
Please forgive me.
What have you done this time?!
He is requesting an expulsion.
If there is an expulsion, is it from our family?
He is asking for his removal from our family registry.
You… have you committed murder? If not…
Hyung, I have a favor to ask of you.
Perish the thought. How dare you try to drag me down with you!
I thought I would give you a chance to do an honorable deed for the nation and set a reputation for yourself.
Tell me first.
- In exchange, just bear in mind one thing. - Bear in mind?
- Lady San. Please forget her. - What?
Pretend that you never even knew her.
- And if I can't do it… - You had better heed what I say.
If you don't want the crimes you committed against the lady to ever be revealed again…
Greediness and lust for woman. Be careful of that too.
Tell him, "I will. Thank you."
Towards your younger brother.
Summer began in the year of the red rooster.
You can use the whole guesthouse.
It was prepared because the young lady gave instructions in advance.
Please let me know if you need anything.
- You haven't been waiting long right? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - There's no doubt.
All right. Are you saying you know where the Goryeo King's gold seal is?
Song In let me know where it is.
Why?
Because I'm too beautiful?
Sheesh Song In…
I can understand him.
I acknowledge it too.
But do we need to go by ourselves? Losing all our guards and shadow guards?
If you go, you'll know.
You've always excluded them anyway.
It will take more than a day.
One day to go, one day to come back…perhaps even a little longer?
How about riding a horse?
Let's leave this guy behind.
No, no, no. But just tell me where.
This way.
Just from the look in her eyes, I knew she was lying.
We now are at least more than that.
Knowingly, I was being deceived. You also knew I was pretending to be deceived.
♬ Within me you live and breathe. ♬
Be careful.
♬ You shine and move in the eyes ♬
♬ Wind will you blow your breath toward me?♬
That summer. We were practicing our farewells.
After meeting, I never once thought we would separate.
After meeting, you never once believed we would separate.
Neither did I.
♬ In a place beyond my reach ♬
♬So that my heart can be touched ♬
I think it's an empty house.
♬ Wind, will you carry my heart? ♬
I remembered something.
Me too.
Mount Doota.
Even then it rained cats and dogs.
Jeez. That's when I said I was going to get your teacher some kind of alcohol.
I suffered so much. Jeez…
That's when I should have seen and known.
One was busy chopping would and offering all the help int he world,
whereas the other wouldn't lift a finger.
When did I ever?
I see you know you were the latter.
You know, I have something to say about that.
Rin is a guy who aimlessly works hard.
I am normal. He is bit abnormal.
Then I'll take care of the firewood.
- See. I'm the normal one. - What?
No, sit here for a while.
Yes.
Take a look.
Don't you think of anything?
Is it rain?
The mountain where it's raining.
A cave.
A broken bridge.
Snow Dew wine.
Mount Doota.
It seems to have stopped.
♬ Within me you live and breathe.♬
♬ It's now I came to know now ♬
♬At the darkest hours of the night♬
♬ You are my light ♬
Rin, do the firewood. I will do the cooking.
Give it. I'll do it.
Don't be surprised. I'm doing it. I'll do it. Give it to me. Give.
- I know how to do this. - Do you really?
If you put all that in…
It's fine, it's fine.
- You just gotta give it a good twirl. - Give it. Really, I'll do it.
Give it a rest.
- You don't even know how, so what are you doing? - Please go.
But when did you put the mushrooms in?
Give it. I'll do it. Really
- I said I am doing it! - Get out of the way. All of you./ - Oh, never mind.
Oh, spicy!
- Oh, salty! - Are you saying it's salty?
Ugh! I should've have known the moment you scooped in mounds of this expensive salt! Ugh…
How can you eat this?
Do you really feel it has a salty taste?
Test it to see whether it is salty or not.
San, it's fortunate. It's really fortunate!
- Why are you like this? - So Hwa.
Wait a moment.
Let me figure out how to resolve this. Oh really.
You really tasted the saltiness right?
You told me she has lost the ability to taste.
She found the taste. It's wonderful.
Now that the rain stopped, there are a lot of stars in the sky.
The moon also rose. Look over there.
It was a passing shower.
I read the letter you gave me.
Please don't.
Why? It was touching.
It was written at night. So the contents… are a bit…
Anyway, don't talk about that letter.
- In the letter you gave me… - Ayy hey!
Listen to what I'm saying.
Because you treated me as a friend, I too was honored.
- You're embarrassed right now aren't you? - It's driving me nearly insane.
Let's not do things like this. It doesn't suit you.
It was a full day, today.
- The Goryeo King's seal. - Yes.
- If San really finds it, - I will take possession of it.
That's what I'm afraid of. I've followed you up to hear afraid of what you will do. Don't even think of it.
The King of Goryeo or the son, the Crown Prince, has been building up rebellious forces?
Yuan would take the Goryeo land with great joy.
I said I'll take care of it.
All you have to do is to give your orders.
Capture Wang Rin, the leader of the rebellious forces.
That Wang Rin had actually kidnapped the King, and that there should be evidence of it somewhere.
Capture him, find evidence, then what's next?
I'll handle it.
Since the rain has stopped, it's gotten chilly.
Her clothing is thin. Stay beside her.
Did I wake you?
I was awakened earlier.
Did you hear our conversation?
Before I heard it, I guessed it.
I'm sorry.
For what?
I had told you I will follow you wherever.
That I will stay with you…
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep that promise.
Because you are a brave, bright person-
But I'm just pretending to be.
I won't worry too much.
People don't know that very well.
Do you have the Goryeo King's seal now?
Please give it to me.
Please bear with it a little longer
The pain won't last long.
Lady San.
I remember.
The day you first called my by my real name.
It had been such a long time since someone called me that, and I was taken aback.
Before calling you so, and even longer before then,
When I was twelve, I snuck into your house.
That night, you were crying.
While you were crying, they were hanging the lanterns for the dead.
Since then,
I had placed you deep in my heart.
Momentarily,
I desired to make you mine.
That was also wrong of me.
Since I'm leaving now,
please don't look back.
I wish we got one lifetime as a rehearsal for our real lives.
To rehearse just once.
Then if I did, while reflecting on and considering it, in my second life I would find the right path.
Just once in life… if I could rehearse.
Year of the Rooster, Month of the Yellow Monkey - the Deputy State Officer received a report of great significance.
Wang Jeon, who discovered the Marquis of Sujeong.
I know who the chief power of the rebellious faction is.
- And where he… - It's the hideout of Wang Rin, the leader of the rebellious party.
Dong Goong Jeon: Crown Prince's Palace
The Crown Prince immediately dispatched his personal guards.
As the best military unit in Goryeo, they pursued the criminal and found him after a short time.
And the king's gold seal was discovered in the criminal's pouch.

The King deemed the Crown Prince deserving,
abdicated the throne, crowned him king and retired to Deokja Palace.
A few days later at the mouth of a river, the body of the rebel Wang Rin was found.
He was disowned by his family
and there was no one to collect the body of the dead rebel leader.
Even though it was salted, it was to be cremated.
Rumors have circulated that the ashes were visited by a nameless woman.
On that day the King went up to the garden and waited for someone for a long time.
♬ In the familiar fragrance wafting by my nose♬
♬ I stop in my tracks and look back ♬
♬ Whether you are crying or smiling ♬
♬ I'm just in a daze and can't tell.♬
♬ I'm going to smile in fear that my cold heart will be found out. ♬
♬ I hope and pray earnestly ♬
♬Perhaps my heart's wish will be granted ♬
♬I beckon to my yearning memory ♬
♬ Maybe you'll come back to me ♬
♬ I miss you. I miss you, my love. ♬
♬ A pitiful sigh escapes far away♬
♬ Will you say it in your heart?♬
♬ When the remaining memories fade away ♬
♬ Will you come back to me?♬
♬It's you I miss. It's you I miss. ♬
The King enacted splendid political reforms in a short time.
He worked only at night. The rest of the time he was alone.
Your Majesty. The banquet will begin soon.
Everyone, even the Yuan envoys, are already seated.
I'll be going soon. Please go on ahead.
Yes, Your Majesty. I hear and obey.
But, Your Majesty. Do you perhaps remember the Minister Eun Yeong Baek?
That family had a daughter. Her name was…
Eun San. I called her So Hwa.
Someone reported that they saw someone very familiar in appearance with that lady.
It was toward Namhae. She was there. Around there.
Please go first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I told him not to tell me. You guys' place.
I thought you two would go farther away. And yet you stayed in the country?
What if I couldn't resist and rushed to you both.
So very close.

He spent seven months on the throne.
He suddenly returned the throne to his father and went to Yuan.
After that, he did not return to Goryeo for ten years.
Later, someone discovered the painting he had left.
This is you, whom I loved more than myself.
This is my story.
♬ I'll stay with you even if there is no way to return. ♬
♬ For your sake. For your sake
