(Episode 8)
Actually, Won Deuk...
is not his name.
Then?
Who on earth is he?
That...
I do not know.
You let me marry a man you know nothing about?
It was to save you. That was the only thing on my mind.
I thought it would be better...
than being beaten to death or to become a concubine.
- Where are you going? - I have got to tell him...
that he is not Won Deuk.
Hong Shim.
Can we not just live this way?
He has caused some trouble, but he is smart and decent.
The way I see it, he is a perfect match for you.
How can you say that?
Maybe he was a noble man.
His family might be looking for him.
No, he has to be considered dead.
I saved him from dying.
He would have already been dead if it had not been for me.
So you will make him live as Won Deuk...
when he is not even Won Deuk?
I cannot do that.
- Hong Shim. - Father.
I have never been disappointed in you...
for my entire life until now.
But...
this really is not right.
It was an arrow, was it not?
I think Master Park has sent thugs again out of grudges.
I should go tell the royal inspector.
- He must not have gone far yet. - We should not move now.
We do not know how many he has sent...
or how many arrows they have.
I will lure them that way.
You should stay here.
Do not go.
Stay here by my side.
The Crown Princess is pregnant?
Is that true?
It has been quite a while since she found out,
but she could not let the others know.
She was not feeling well either,
so she seems to have been worried...
she might have a miscarriage.
It must be...
because of the Queen's curse.
The talisman which draws in bloodthirstiness and misfortunes...
almost took away the royal blood.
Your Majesty.
We should not take this evil incident lightly.
This could be a disgraceful shame for generations,
so you must leave no flaw in your reign...
by dethroning the Queen and Prince Seowon.
It is such a pleasant day.
It is time to be extra careful for the Crown Princess' stability.
How about you send a royal physician and have her checked up?
Let us shall do that.
Thank you for your boundless generosity,
but according to "Classic of Poetry",
if a king cannot gain people's support,
he will lose the right to be a king.
Thus, he will no longer be a king.
What will you lose,
and what will you gain?
A proper process and regulations are followed...
even to expel a wife from a household.
How can I decide on...
deposing the Queen of this country overnight?
Give me some time.
It takes long to gain people's support.
But it'll take only a second to lose it.
Please...
approve on this matter as soon as possible.
Okay.
How about we set a fire on Mount Mokmyuk...
and avert the attention for a while?
Are you calling it a countermeasure?
If we do that, they will infuriate even more,
saying it is all because of the Queen's deeds.
Is the Crown Princess...
really pregnant with...
the Crown Prince's baby?
Everyone knows that the couple was not in good terms.
You might even be sentenced to death...
instead of getting deposed by talking about that issue.
Please refrain yourself.
Nothing would have happened if it had not been for Bailiff Jung.
How could he find the talisman?
Do you even have your family under control?
My apology.
Do you think this can be taken care of only with an apology?
This will not do.
I shall go see the King right now.
Not in that outfit.
If you are going to go, dress up in white.
Give me something to eat before you kill me.
The worst murder in this world...
is starving someone to death.
I would like you to come in, face me,
and kill me nice and clean.
I thought I was quite smart,
but I got it all wrong this time.
Are you going to kill me for finding the talisman?
I would have done it already if I had wanted to kill you.
Are you aware what kind of situation...
your mere ambition has caused?
It is predictable.
The Queen might be deposed. Is that not it?
You have been used by the Vice-Premier.
You technically threw the prey to the Vice-Premier...
who was looking for a chance to depose her.
People will find out anyway.
The one behind the Crown Prince's murder...
The Queen did not order for it.
It is my duty to plan out such schemes,
but I have never done any of it.
Do not tell me...
you kidnapped me to plead your innocence.
I do not know why you are causing trouble here and there,
but do not act recklessly anymore.
Someone like you...
is not supposed to stick your nose into this matter.
I have a favor to ask of you.
I need two things.
An official uniform and palanquin.
My life seems to be on the verge.
We cannot stay like this until the sun goes down.
I need to check.
Do not do things like luring them.
We do not know how many thugs are there.
I cannot let all of them chase you.
Now that you are so worried about me,
I should send someone else.
What?
I think they are gone.
See? Nothing happens.
What did you just do?
You should have thrown your straw shoes, not mine.
Are you telling me to walk without any shoes on?
Where did they go?
Where are they?
- Where are they? - Try wearing these.
I wanted to buy a pair embroidered with cherry blossoms,
but they only had the plum blossom pair.
Later,
I will make sure to give you that pair as a gift.
Why are you not trying them on?
It cannot be helped if you want me to wear them on you myself.
No, no.
It is okay. I will wear them myself.
They suit you well.
I have...
something to confess.
I know what you wish to say.
You were born in a noble family.
What? I have no idea what you are talking about.
What does a woman from a noble family do?
You knew what book I hid.
That means you can read.
I learned a few characters while working odd jobs.
You can read but you did not make new books.
You could make a profit that way.
Perhaps you wish to hide your status.
The new bookstore opened not so long ago.
You also knew the poor scholar was the royal inspector.
That is a hard thing to notice.
He talked about it all the time. That is how I knew.
You speak with a Hanyang accent sometimes.
I work for a relative in Hanyang.
I picked up a few words.
If you do not wish to tell, you do not have to.
I do not mind finding out these small details about you.
Why do you look so downcast?
Do you not like the shoes?
No, I do like them.
I am just...
concerned that Master Park will keep hassling us.
I have a plan. Do not worry.
The smell of barley on the wind is very fragrant.
I forgot what happened to us in the past,
but I will never forget this moment.
I must check your identity. Please open the window.
I am Jung Je Yoon, a bailiff.
Why are you in a palanquin?
I am here and that is what is important.
Let me in right away.
(Records of the Royal Secretariat)
Your Majesty. I believe it best that...
you do not attend the upcoming rain ceremony.
You must attend the rain ceremony in my place.
Please rescind your order.
What is more important than the rain ceremony?
Before being the Crown Prince, I am your son.
Could you not consider that something terrible...
happened to me that I cannot solve myself?
Something terrible that he cannot solve?
That is why he did not want to attend the ceremony.
But he had no choice but to.
It was Kim Cha Eon's suggestion.
The Vice-Premier assassinated the Crown Prince?
It is not the Crown Prince's seal.
It is a private document.
Check the handwriting.
What do you wish to obtain? A title or a fortune?
I wish to earn...
- your heart. - What?
I wish to work for you instead of the late Crown Prince.
That is...
why I give you this secret letter.
Why are you two back so late?
We went to see a physician.
I said I was okay but she kept worrying.
He had hurt his arm.
You got hurt trying to save Hong Shim, right?
Good for you. I am proud of my son-in-law.
It is only right for a man to protect his wife.
But if you are proud of me, could I have...
some rice in soup?
I have not eaten all day and am hungry.
You need not have just 1 bowl. You can have 2.
Do you mean that?
Mi Geum, can you bring over a bowl of soup with lots of solids?
Sure, I will.
Hong Shim, you need to see me.
Come here and sit down.
You did not tell him, did you?
No. I could not.
Good, well done.
He believes that he is Won Deuk.
If you were to tell him he is not Won Deuk,
how shocked would he be?
I have not decided that I will not tell him.
There is a time for everything.
His memory loss will not last forever.
His memories will return one day.
You can tell him the truth then.
How could his memories return...
when we are deceiving him?
We are lying to him.
At first, he said that he did not think he was Won Deuk.
I ignored him when he said that.
I cannot leave him like this.
I must help him recover his memory.
What should I do?
An unprepared warning...
will only end up in them sending more thugs.
Won Deuk, Hong Shim, we are here.
Come outside.
Why were you two in different rooms?
I was talking to Dad.
Why are you here?
We had a party to celebrate the magistrate's dismissal.
We waited but you did not come, so I brought some rainbow ricecake.
Are those ricecakes made with a rainbow?
My goodness. What wit.
Are you crazy?
Won Deuk. You follow me.
Here.
What are those shoes?
They were a present from Won...
From Won Deuk.
He has a pretty face and he got you a pretty gift?
I am so jealous. You have a husband like him.
Poor me. My luck is like this ricecake.
Come here.
Officer Park kept this bokbunja wine hidden.
I brought some for you.
Drink this and get some action tonight.
Why would I need any action so late at night?
What do you think it is for? You and Hong Shim need to work out.
If that is what the wine is for, I do not need it...
because we do not have that kind of relationship.
You do not have that kind of relationship? Then you mean...
You have not slept with her?
We slept in different rooms.
Different rooms? Separately?
This is insane.
There was a reason we did not get any rain...
despite all the men and women being married.
It is all your fault.
You were married long ago and you have not bedded her?
Are you insane? You must be crazy.
Won Deuk, don't tell me you were once a monk.
What kind of a monk has a topknot?
Whatever!
Won Deuk is not just good for nothing.
He is just unpredictable.
Sometimes he seems smart, but sometimes he's clueless.
He is not dumb though.
Did you know that he bought Hong Shim new shoes?
Hold on. Are you jealous?
Of course. Why would I not be?
He probably took out another loan.
Should I do that as well?
Should I go to the loan shark and buy you new shoes?
How foolish are you?
My gosh!
Forgive me, master.
I should have looked where I was going.
I have something to ask.
What is the relationship of the two people you met at the pub?
They are husband and wife
- Husband and wife? - Yes.
They are married.
Do you know how they ended up that way?
The Crown Prince ordered every single man and woman...
to get married.
Hong Shim is well above age, but she had no husband.
Why do you ask, master?
The young man looks like someone I know.
You should head inside then.
Oh, wait. Won Deuk suffers from memory loss,
so he might not recognize you.
- Memory loss? - Yes.
At first, he did not know his name...
nor did he recognize Hong Shim.
His memories might come back if he sees a familiar face,
so please head inside.
That is not necessary.
I am sure that it is a man who just looks like my friend.
- Anyway, get home safely. - Yes, master.
Why did you tell him all that?
- He asked, that is why. - Gosh.
You were married long ago and you have not bedded her?
Are you insane? You must be crazy.
I put together a table for you with soup and ricecake.
Just so you know,
it is made with barley, sesame seeds, mugwort, or kudzu.
It is tasty, so try some.
Why is it named after a rainbow though?
You do not seem like you have tried any...
or even have heard of it.
The name itself is off-putting.
What do you like then?
What did you mostly eat?
Meat pancake.
I remember enjoying it.
Do you remember where you ate it?
At Master Park's house.
I doubt that was the first time.
Try to think of where you ate if before.
Before?
Gu Dol picked one up!
He stole one for Kkeut Nyeo and...
All right, I get it.
You must be hungry, so go ahead and eat.
Will you not be joining me?
I am more comfortable eating with my father.
We need to talk anyway.
Sure. Enjoy the food and your conversation.
Tonight is the last night you will sleep in his room.
What happened?
The man at the pub...
I will take care of him alone, so head back and wait for me.
Why?
He is within our reach.
I must double-check.
Are you saying it could not be the Crown Prince?
Let me check if it is him.
My sister.
The woman he is with...
is my sister.
Your Majesty!
Please do not let Prince Seowon be deposed.
As his mother, I will take full responsibility.
Spare his life by ordering me to take the poison.
Please forgive Prince Seowon, Your Majesty.
Mother!
Mother, do not speak of such atrocity.
Head back to your chambers.
I am the one who sinned, therefore I will be punished.
Mother!
Even if I have to sacrifice myself,
I will protect you until the end.
I will be leaving the palace.
Get ready.
The Chinese character for "heel"?
What did the Crown Prince try to say with this letter?
Who cares what it is?
Anything that can haunt us...
just needs to be destroyed.
My lord, you have a visitor.
Does he have no manners?
It is late, so tell him to return tomorrow.
Who dares to open my doors without permission?
Your Majesty!
Minister, leave us.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I abandoned my son's mother.
I told myself that it was the only way to protect my son...
and tried to find comfort in those words.
My actions caused me to lose my son too though.
I do not wish to further investigate...
into who murdered my son.
Even if it were...
the Queen and Prince Seowon?
Curse at me for being a weak king.
However, I cannot abandon my wife and son again.
The King must know when to be heartless.
If you let emotions sway you,
you might put the whole nation in jeopardy.
Moreover, if you forgive the crimes of family members,
the people will no longer respect you.
The people?
The people you say?
I know very well that it is you...
who is stirring up the people.
From this moment on,
you will stop trying to turn the people against me.
For what...
must I do that for?
Why not become king yourself then?
Why did you have me take the throne instead?
Are you saying you wish to give it up?
I will not allow the Queen and the Prince to be deposed.
If Crown Princess has a son,
I promise to proclaim him as my legitimate grandson.
Well...
Do you think that is...
what I only want?
What more do you want then?
I need to think about it,
so please head back...
and wait for my answer.
Quickly clean this up.
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
Could they not have been more gentle with the arrest?
Why did they have to make a mess?
What is this?
Won Deuk, you brat. Did you have to shoot it here?
What is this?
Goodness.
Please tell me that this will stay upright.
- You! - Yes, master?
Come over here. Do you think this will crumble?
- Will it be okay? - Gosh, yes.
Stop trying to lift it. Are you trying to knock it down?
Stop that and clean the ground.
This too.
What is this?
Is this not the family register?
Why is this on the ground?
Those darn foolish servants.
What?
I thought his last name was Won and the first name was Deuk.
But his full name is Na Won Deuk.
Na Won Deuk?
Wait a second.
What is this?
Your wound must still hurt, so can you shoot that arrow?
I do not know. My arm feels very uncomfortable,
so I might shoot one of their throats.
Should I thank that old master?
I am sure I have done archery before.
And perhaps, I was good at it.
Won Deuk, that punk...
Is this another warning letter?
I already know that you had thugs bully people.
If you commit such a thing again, I will not forgive you.
Remember that I, Royal Inspector Heo Man Shik, have my eyes on you.
The royal inspector must not have left the village yet.
I think he is still having his eyes on us, so what should we do?
What can we do?
We have to stay low for the time being.
I guess it was a good idea to play royal inspector.
They must have become tense.
They might not be able to bully us for the time being.
I would like to sleep in the house instead of the pub from today on.
Let us go clean the house.
What are you all doing here?
What do you mean?
We came here to clean up the mess in your house.
If we do it all together, it will be done soon.
You once said people have got to help each other.
Like this.
Kkeut Nyeo.
I will decorate your room nicely, so tonight...
You know, right?
What should I do?
Go make some glue to paper the house.
Make glue?
Take some rest. I can take care of it.
Then let us do it together.
All right.
It is strange the more I see him.
What is strange?
What? Nothing. Go on and work.
Do this side too. I cannot do it. Why does it not work?
These doors are like a wreck.
Seonggyungwan scholars have stopped protesting.
There will be no more appeals.
Also, all the officials have agreed...
not to discuss deposing anymore.
Have you thought about what you want?
The royal seat.
Are you...
demanding the throne?
- That is not how you do it. - Gosh.
- Can you not put up wallpaper? - Gosh.
Goodness.
Goodness gracious.
Goodness.
Good work, guys.
What brings you here?
Do not tell me you are here for help.
Because of what happened to Master Park who used to have my back,
I am in trouble along with him.
I am rushed as I make money out of others' money.
Pay me your debt worth 45 yang all at once,
- or offer Hong Shim instead. - What?
You and I made a promise.
You have got the wrong person.
I am not the kind of person who keeps promises.
That is my nature.
- Follow me. - Let me go and talk first.
- Gosh. - Ma Chil.
Why are you doing this? Take me instead.
No one would use an old man like you as a slave.
- Let us go. - No, not her. Not Hong Shim.
- I said, move. - Goodness, Father.
Let us hurry.
The ship is waiting for us on the deck. We have no time.
- Let us go. - No.
- Goodness. - Father.
Why you little...
It is illegal to sell people with a fabricated document.
Why are you not doing anything?
The magistrate is absent, so you must be resolving this matter.
Ma Chil.
He is not breathing.
Ma Chil.
Ma Chil!
He is dead.
What should we do?
No way.
Can a person die this easily?
Goodness. I need to check.
- Move aside. - Do not touch him...
if you do not wish to have your wrist cut off. It is a murder case.
No one must move.
Are you demanding the royal seat from me?
Please stamp the royal seal on it.
You want me to stamp the royal seal on a blank sheet of paper?
What is your scheme?
I shall decide on what I desperately want...
or when it will be.
Vice-Premier Kim.
Do not worry.
I shall not covet the throne.
If I had coveted that place,
I would have taken it 10 years ago then.
Do not move.
Do not even touch his body until patrols and a coroner arrive.
You know how big of a crime is to damage a murder site.
Won Deuk, I should take you to the magistrate's office.
I am the one who killed Ma Chil.
I pushed him. Take me instead.
No, no. It was me who pushed him.
I pushed him when he grabbed my wrist.
- Stay quiet. - This is a murder case.
We cannot let it slide out of affection.
- Gu Dol, bring me a straw rope. - Okay.
Here... Here it is.
Here.
- No. - Give me your hands.
- What should we do? - Now.
- What on earth should we do? - Goodness.
He did not kill on purpose. It was out of mistake.
There are witnesses here.
Right, it is not that he killed Ma Chil on purpose.
Above all, Ma Chil was at fault to begin with.
For one motive or another, it is a murder case.
He has to pay for the crime.
Goodness.
All right, let us go.
Oh, dear.
- Won Deuk. - Gosh.
Won Deuk.
Won Deuk. Goodness.
You seemed quite skilled in using your fists.
Why did you have to beat him up?
It must not be because of my attack.
I did not punch him strong enough to kill him.
I avoided a vital point on purpose.
It is probably...
because of the brain damage caused by the fall.
It has been done by mistake,
so I might not be sentenced to death penalty.
Do you not think so?
What a fluent speaker.
Who on earth are you?
Me?
Won Deuk.
Where are you going?
Why did you tie up his hands?
It is nothing. It is just a murder case.
I am taking him to the magistrate's office.
I knew he would cause a real problem one day.
Have some snacks before you go though.
I made some noodles for those who are repairing his house.
What, noodles?
That is right.
I made servings for all of you, so you should not make any leftovers.
Of course not. We should finish the noodles before we go.
Are you saying you will have noodles now?
At this timing?
You are not going to? But I crave noodles.
- Let us go. - All right.
We are having noodles.
(Solution Agency)
Poor Won Deuk.
I have ruined his life.
This is all my fault.
Won Deuk. Won Deuk.
I should...
I should go.
I must tell him.
There are things I did not tell him.
Come on. I am starving.
Hurry up.
Oh dear.
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday
Dear Won Deuk
We wish you a happy birthday
Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.
Meat pancakes.
I bought the beef.
What kind of situation is this?
Today is your birthday.
My birthday?
Are you saying you all...
set this up to throw him a surprise party?
Would someone die so easily?
He was such a great actor that it did look real.
That is right.
It will be a birthday you will never forget.
I get it because he is suffering from a memory loss,
but why did you two not know his birthday?
- Right. - Good point.
Let us go and have noodles. I am starving here.
Mi Geum, serve the noodles.
Okay, okay.
- Let us eat. - I am so hungry.
Gather round.
What are you doing?
What kind of joke was that?
It was fun.
That was fun?
You scared me. Do you call that fun?
Ma Chil. I thought you were really dead.
I thought Won Deuk was in real trouble.
How could you pretend a man is dead of all things?
How can you laugh about it after how you made me feel?
I should be the one who is upset here.
Won Deuk, I really felt your fury when you hit me.
I ached all over.
Come on.
Best birthday wishes.
Oh dear.
What a hit.
What about the mood now?
Will you untie me first?
- Right, untie him. - Okay, hang on.
Let us all eat.
- Oh dear. - Eat up first.
Were you very upset?
Why?
In case you become a widow if something were to happen to me?
Do you feel like joking right now?
Are you angry with me?
It is my birthday today.
I will be with you forever. Do not worry.
I will not leave you alone.
I am your husband.
Let us go and have noodles.
Your Majesty.
You cannot depose Prince Seowon.
Your...
The King has issued a royal edict.
His command is that...
you do not mention the deposition again.
Stop protesting and...
return to your chambers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Oh gosh.
Because the men turned the magistrate's office inside-out,
I happened to see Won Deuk's registry.
I could not believe my eyes when I read the details.
He was born in the year of the monkey making him 35.
That means he is Ma Chil's age.
Does that make sense?
Why does it not make sense?
It does not.
This face and this face.
How could you be the same age?
I cannot believe it either.
I cannot believe I was born in the year of the monkey.
Right? You find it odd too?
Ma Chil's face is half smashed...
and Won Deuk, yours... Everything is so strange.
That is because Won Deuk looks young for his age.
He looks young.
What do you eat to get such smooth skin?
I wonder too.
- Gosh. - I feel uncomfortable.
- How dare you? - You feel uncomfortable?
What manners.
You will get into trouble one day because of the way you speak.
Master Park does not like how you talk...
and that is why he bothers you.
He is right. Change the way you speak.
You should not...
upset the new magistrate too.
Repeat after me.
"Wow, Hong Shim."
"You are so pretty."
I am not speaking for myself.
Wow...
Wow... I cannot say it.
It sounds frivolous and uncomfortable.
Leave him be. He does not want to say it.
Wow.
You are so pretty, Hong Shim.
- Not bad. - That was pretty good.
Keep going.
Let us go a bit further.
"Come here."
"Let me give you a hug. Okay?"
What?
Come here. Let me give you a hug.
Okay? Okay?
Well done. Nicely done.
Oh dear.
Thanks to Won Deuk we got to feast...
and have a good laugh.
Leftovers are not welcome.
Drink everything up. Do not waste a drop.
Come on.
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday
- Please rain. - Stop it.
- He's so silly. - Please rain.
It is not his birthday.
I am sick of him.
- Where is the rain. - Take care.
- Get back safely. - Bye.
- Rain. - Stop it.
- Be quiet. - Hong Shim.
What is it?
You have not slept with him?
Who said that? We did sleep together.
That is a lie.
We have been friends for years.
Are you hiding something from me?
I am... I am not, no.
Then what is the matter?
Why make a perfect young man sleep on his own?
He lost his memory.
He does not recognize me.
It feels like he is a stranger.
Whether he is a stranger or a new guy,
you like him anyway, do you not?
What? Me?
Yes. You and Won Deuk both.
Honey drops like love from your eyes when you look at each other.
Honey doesn't drop from eyes. They come from honeycombs.
You know exactly what I mean. Give me your hand.
- Why? - Come on.
Here.
It smells so good...
that it intoxicates men.
Your room is made up, so enjoy a sweet night.
Kkeut Nyeo, wait!
I have always been curious.
Where did you live and how was your life?
I will someday tell you all about it.
Anyway, I am glad that you seem relaxed today.
Living as a peasant must not be easy for you.
I have been a peasant more than I have been a noble.
I have adjusted.
Have you completed the mission you were on?
It does not matter now.
That is why I wish to leave with you tonight.
I will wait here while you pack a light bag.
You do not seem happy.
Do you not wish to leave with me?
I have waited all my life to be with you again.
However...
Not tonight though.
Is it because of the man you married?
The man you married...
Well, he is not right for you.
There is something I must do.
I made a mistake, so that I must sort out first.
We will be heading someway far...
to an island or to the border.
I have lived here for over 10 years now,
and I am good friends with the village people.
Can you just give me a few days?
All right.
You must not take more than 10 days though.
I am sorry for making you wait.
This is nothing compared to how much I made you wait.
You should head inside.
I stayed behind because I got worried.
What do you plan on doing? Vice-Premier is waiting for you.
You need to come inside.
- What is it? - Hold on.
It is I who should be asking that.
Today is my birthday,
but you have not given me a present.
Gosh, I did not get you anything.
Things were a mess...
with the house being torn down and you getting arrested.
Did you just address your husband casually?
Also, I was born in the year of the monkey...
which makes me way more older than you.
You should address me properly.
What should I call you then?
My dear husband.
What?
Maybe next time. It is too corny to say right now.
You must call me that since you did not get me a gift.
Now!
My dear husband...
What?
My dear husband...
I cannot hear you.
My dear husband, my dear husband! Are you satisfied?
Why? What is it now?
What is this smell? You smell lovely.
Kkeut Nyeo gave me a perfume.
I do not know why she did though.
The room is nice and cozy, so good night.
I told you yesterday that...
you will no longer stay in your father's room.
We are married, so sleeping together is natural.
Today, I will not let you go.
Do you not remember what you said?
What?
On the night of our wedding,
when I tried to take off your clothes,
you forbid me to touch you since you still had amnesia.
I have...
no recollection of that.
You are lying. Your ears are blushing.
That is impossible. My ears are naturally red.
If you wish to sleep with me, get your memories back.
Remember who you were and what you used to do.
That I can remember later...
If I were really Hong Shim...
and you were really Won Deuk,
how might it have been?
How did it go?
Even those birds on branches enjoy each other's company
How lonely am I though to be without my significant other
What is that gibberish?
Judging by your face, you failed to...
Why? What is the matter? What is the issue?
I got caught in my own trap.
I told her to...
never touch me until my memories come back.
It is nothing serious.
You just have to regain your memory.
No matter how much I try, I cannot remember anything.
I know a way.
Your Majesty.
According to the report of the governor from Hwanghae,
they could not sow due to the extreme drought.
They could not harvest the barley either as it withered.
Thus, more and more people are starving to death.
I believe it is right...
to give relief to the people by sending grains.
Send them 100 seoms of rice and barley each.
Thank you for your boundless generosity.
I heard Governor Jo Boo Young of Songjoo Village...
was dismissed due to his corrupted behaviors.
Yes, Your Majesty.
A man named Na Won Deuk...
gave the magistrate's ledger...
to Royal Inspector Heo Man Shik...
which helped him reveal the corrupted behaviors.
Na Won Deuk?
He has done such a commendable job.
I will grant him 4 rolls of silk...
so that his contribution is recognized.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Whom should I appoint as a new magistrate of Songjoo Village?
How about the seventh-rank official, Yoon Je Sung?
I think I have heard that he is smart and upright.
Your Majesty.
I have a recommendation.
Who is it?
It is Bailiff Jung Je Yoon.
Vice-Premier Kim, he is a concubine's son.
I am aware of it.
I am recommending your son...
with the intention of appointing such a talented person.
He is not capable enough to be in charge of such a position.
That is right.
The Crown Princess is under a circumstance...
where she has to leave the palace to regain her health.
While she washes away the evil energy...
from the Queen's talisman,
I will make her stay at our family's private residence.
I see.
We were discussing whom to appoint as the new magistrate in Songjoo.
Were we?
Your Majesty.
Whom should we appoint as the new magistrate in Songjoo?
Do as you want.
Come on. Why are you organizing them yourself?
That is my job.
Have you not heard the news yet?
You have been appointed as a magistrate.
My father recommended you.
- A magistrate? - Yes, magistrate.
A magistrate of Songjoo Village.
It is a great place located in broad land.
Vice-Premier Kim recommended me?
Yes.
I think I told him a lot of good things about you without realizing.
So your appointment is technically thanks to me.
What do you say?
How about you treat me to a drink...
in Aeryeonjeong?
I am free this evening.
- Darn it. - Where are you going?
Je Yoon, I will go sulky if you go like this.
I have something to tell Vice-Premier Kim.
What do you mean, Songjoo Village?
Can you not trust me?
I need you to do something for me there.
If you prove yourself that you are my person there,
I will bring you back up to Hanyang.
I am grateful for the surprising promotion,
but I would like to serve you up close.
How about you become one of my palanquin men then?
Let us go.
I am sorry for taking much time.
He was unconscious in a house,
so it was not so easy to find him.
If I were to move the body,
it would have been difficult to enter the capital.
How will you prove that it is the Crown Prince's hand?
I buried the body at a valley in Mount Chunwoo.
Let us go down together if you would like to check.
No.
Now,
all my concerns are gone.
As you promised,
may I leave now?
From here is the beginning of love affair.
Beginning of love affair?
Everyone cannot help but fall in love if they walk on this road.
It is a must dating course for a couple.
You two must have walked this road too.
This road starts from a marketplace.
You must have bought something for her here...
and won her favor.
I think I remember.
I bought you a red hair tie as a gift.
I clearly remember your smiley face with that gift.
I see.
I was happy to receive a hair tie.
After walking past the marketplace, we went to ride a swing.
It was Dano Holiday with the bright sunlight.
I can vividly remember you riding this swing.
I see.
I rode a swing on Dano Holiday.
Every woman rides a swing on Dano Holiday...
except for old, unhealthy women.
Your hair and skirt were blowing about. It was beautiful.
Which year was it?
Perhaps, before I went to serve the military.
Well, I hung this swing two months ago.
This...
It was not this swing. It was another one.
Anyway, it unfortunately rained that day.
We went to a watermill to take shelter from the rain.
And we spent the night together.
I see.
It was that day.
It is done now that I have found my memory back.
I do not think so. It seems to be lacking a lot.
Is this not enough?
I will happen to regain more memory eventually.
We must not expect too much from the first attempt.
Anyway, you are saying that you sure are Won Deuk...
since you have found your memory with me, is that right?
Of course.
It is fine then.
Let us go home.
Why are you standing there? Let us go.
Someone made a request to Solution Agency earlier.
Pay a short visit to the village across the river.
Do I have to go there today?
Can I not go there tomorrow?
They offered a large sum of money.
You might be able to come back in today if you hurry.
I will prepare for delicious dinner.
I will come back soon.
Where should I go? Whom should I look for?
It is said beef.
I must be promoted this time.
- Goodness. - What have you brought?
It is the one that is good for health.
Vice-Premier Kim's authority might soar to the sky...
now that the Crown Princess is pregnant too.
That is why we must win his favor.
Stop for a second.
What is the matter?
Where will you go?
I have not picked any place yet.
I wish there is a field in front of the house.
Flowers would bloom all over the field in spring.
If I could live in a small house in such a place,
I would be so happy.
I envy you.
You can leave.
I apologize.
You did well. This is for your services on a huge task.
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
May I ask a question?
Is this Chestnut Tree Village?
Yes, this is Chestnut Tree Village.
Are you from far away?
From the lower village across the stream.
I must visit the nasty old hag and get a brood hen.
Do you know where she lives?
You found the right place. She lives right over there.
Won Deuk.
Gosh, something smells lovely.
What are you cooking?
I did not cook anything on Won Deuk's birthday.
What are you thinking?
Will you just live with him without telling?
I have time until my brother comes for me.
I shall go to Gu Dol's...
and make some straw rope all night.
I wonder what Gu Dol is doing now.
You are back.
Did you sort everything out?
It must have been a tiring trip.
Come and sit down. Let us have dinner.
Why did you send me over there?
There is something you must know.
Like the fact that...
I am not Won Deuk?
Yes.
That is correct.
You are not Won Deuk.
(100 Days My Prince)
I must know who I am.
Then I can make a decision.
Whether I can stay with you or whether I must leave.
Get out of the way.
Are you crazy? To follow a woman this far whom you saw just once?
I saw someone who looked just like the Crown Prince.
Rumors that the Crown Prince is alive?
Go to Songjoo Village.
I do not like it that you feel nothing.
I used you.
To pretend to get married.
My feelings. What will you do about that?
He had a very odd gaze.
I feel oddly tense when I see him.
- You didn't think of me, did you? - I missed you.
Sir, it's a murder. It's not a suicide.
I got you this time.
