(This drama is a fictional depiction of a constitutional monarchy.)
At the final interview,
only one bodyguard will be selected.
The Emperor will personally conduct the final interview.
Everyone, do your best.
Here comes the Emperor!
What are you doing? Put the gun down now.
Mom.
It's okay.
What were you thinking, drawing a gun on the Emperor?
I am not your guard yet.
Thus, I believed it was right for me...
to protect myself and the others from you since you had a gun.
Release him!
But Your Majesty...
If he becomes my guard, he will clearly protect me.
I like your boldness.
What is your name?
It is Chun Woo Bin.
Chun Woo Bin.
I appoint you to be a guard for the Emperor and Empress!
My gosh.
That will be 11 dollars.
Oh no. Oh dear. I don't have any money.
Now? After eating all this?
Well... It smelled so good, I was just drawn in.
I came in and ate, not knowing I didn't have money.
How is your chicken so tasty?
You're a real pro, aren't you?
Don't change the subject, and pay up.
I don't have any.
Can't you think of it as charity for an old homeless woman?
What homeless woman wears designer sunglasses?
I'd better not find money on you.
Where are you touching?
See? I knew it.
How dare you lie when you had money?
- Well... - You're shameless.
Give me that. That's my bus fare.
I came up from Gwangju. If I don't have that,
I need to walk to Jeolla-do.
Then walk! Or sell your sunglasses.
This is a knock-off. I have no money for designer goods.
Give me that.
- Call the police! - That's enough.
Get over here.
- Stop it. Stop. - Let go!
Why you...
Granny.
Here. This is my emergency money. Use it for your bus.
Why are you giving me so much?
You can't make it to Gwangju with only 10 dollars.
Didn't you know that when you came to Seoul?
Why didn't you kick her out yet?
She's leaving now. Go. Stop getting angry.
Eat this on the bus. Get home safely.
My gosh. She is such a nice girl,
but I don't like her sister.
(The Emperor's Woman, A Proposal Straight Out of a Musical)
Your Highness, I know you hate Yu Ra,
but I don't know if it's wise to make Sunny the empress.
We'll use her briefly and throw her out anyway. She's perfect.
Her family has nothing and no sense of pride.
I need to clean house now.
Strip her of her uniform.
Your Highness.
She cannot take anything from the Palace.
Kick her out with nothing, just like the way she came.
How dare you...
Your Highness.
Your Highness! I was wrong, Your Highness.
Please... Please forgive me just this one time.
What are you waiting for? Get rid of her.
How dare you?
- Get over here! - Your Highness.
Your Highness!
That poor girl.
That wouldn't have happened if she had left when I told her to.
Yes. I have arrived safely.
I'm going to rest for a few days and then I'll contact...
- the publisher directly. - With the Emperor's wedding...
- coming up in one week, - Okay.
the fact that the selected future empress...
breaks the conservative custom is being commended.
Since it has been seven years since Empress So Gyun passed away,
Ehwa Palace is at the center of the world's attention.
Why are you getting married again, Your Majesty?
What greater tragedy do you wish to see?
Oh Sunny, the future...
Okay. Put them here.
We should reheat this.
My gosh.
Hey! You can't come out yet!
Go back in.
When can I come out? I'm curious too, Dad.
They say if the groom sees the bride during this ritual, he'll cheat.
We can't have that, so wait.
Be careful so they don't break.
Wait here.
Greetings, sir.
I am Ms. Choi. I was sent from the Palace.
Where's the Emperor?
An urgent matter came up,
so he cannot be in attendance.
He can't come? But he's the star of the ritual.
- I've prepared this... - However,
as you can see, we have brought wedding gifts.
I see.
Then who will break the gourd?
Hello!
I'm the princess of the Korean Empire, here in the Emperor's place.
I'm the Emperor's older sister as well.
I see. Hello, Princess.
Who's this?
Ms. Oh. You live here?
It's so very modest.
I've never been to a place like this before. May I take a picture?
You're not here on a tour. Give it a rest, ma'am.
Don't be rude to our in-law.
Where's my head? Princess, why don't we...
get started with the ritual?
1, 2, 3.
The most delicious part...
Here. Since the groom isn't here,
why don't you have it for him?
Wait! You got divorced twice.
No.
I don't want it either!
I can't stand carbs.
Sunny! Come out! Sunny!
Thank you for coming, Your Highness.
As you should be.
I don't usually come to places like this.
That's odd. If my sister is the Empress,
isn't she higher up than a princess?
So why are you talking down to her?
She hasn't gotten married yet.
Plus, I'm the oldest child.
- The oldest... - Let's...
set all that aside and open the gifts.
This was created in 1956 for Grace Kelley,
the Princess of Monaco upon her request.
It's the utmost designer bag.
What... How impressive.
These are limited edition shoes designed personally by Gavarini...
from Italy.
Okay.
This is a diamond set, this is a pearl set, and...
all of these...
Were all designed and made by master artisans, so that's enough.
True. They are all such high-end items,
that you wouldn't know even if I explained them.
This is a VIP card compliments of the Imperial Family.
Please use it to make yourselves more refined.
Refined?
As in, please act refined befitting of the Imperial Family's in-laws.
And this...
It's an Imperial Family apartment building being completed next month.
It will be fully furnished. You just have to move in.
You'll give us a place to live as well?
The Imperial Family owns so many residences.
We can't let you live in a place like this.
If the Imperial Family's image is so important,
you should've found someone more suitable.
Why are you taking a poor girl and spending all this money?
What's wrong with you? Stop it.
Of course. We'll make sure we're refined enough for you.
Okay, then. I'll get going now.
- I'm suddenly very tired. - This way.
- I'm so hot. - This way.
My goodness, I can't believe this! Come here. You two, come here.
Girls, I'm not dreaming, right? This is a miracle! A miracle, I say!
Sunny, how could you marry into the Imperial Family?
Oh, my. You're unbelievable.
If your mother had been still alive, she would've been really happy.
Oh, honey.
But why do I feel like you're being sold off or something?
It disgusts me.
Seriously, that nasty brat.
Be honest and tell us that you're jealous.
Actually, I don't feel so great either.
The Emperor of this country handpicked you.
You have the right to enjoy all of this luxury.
Does it make you that happy that I'm getting married?
Could you live a happy life without me?
You're really not sad about a single thing?
Why would I be sad?
The palace is only five stops away by bus.
Don't forget.
You don't have to worry about me.
I won't.
Dad, I'll have a great marriage.
I'll be respectful to the elders.
And the Emperor will adore me.
- You know, I'm very charming. - Of course.
Come here. Come.
You're not just getting married to an ordinary man.
Goodness, look at that.
Sunny, what should we do?
Look at this expensive stuff. How much... Goodness.
What are you doing? I'm not tempted anymore.
Eat up.
This is the last meal you'll have here.
I'll let you have just one bowl of rice today.
Wang Shik, are you going somewhere?
Yes, I passed the test for the Imperial guard.
I'll have to stay there for now.
Dong Shik, be good and listen to Grandpa while I'm away, okay?
If you're an Imperial guard, are you staying at the palace with Yu Ra?
Yes.
Who's Yu Ra?
My brother's girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
You had a girlfriend?
If she's staying at the palace...
She's the Emperor's personal assistant.
Then have you been in touch with her all this time?
No, after my mom passed away, we talked only once.
After that, I lost touch with her as things had been hectic for me.
Once I get to the palace, I'll talk to her and bring her out.
You should pack up. Why are you chopping wood?
I ate, so I should exercise.
If I don't, I'll gain weight quickly.
Hand it to me. I'll do it.
Pretty good.
Your hands are quick, and techniques, smooth.
You lost your accent too.
It's all thanks to you. Thank you.
I won't forget your kindness for saving me.
It's only beginning.
If you let your guard down even for a moment at the palace,
you'll be dead without making a sound.
Don't worry. Lee Hyuk...
Until I kill that jerk, I won't let that happen.
Trust no one...
including that woman, Min Yu Ra.
I can trust Yu Ra. I'm sure she's still worried about me.
Take my advice if you truly want to get your revenge for your mother.
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
Oh, my. Welcome.
Did you receive the wedding gifts?
Yes, we did receive them.
But you were too generous. I don't know how to thank you.
No, don't say such a thing.
In return, we're getting a new Empress.
This chair has been passed down from generation to generation.
It's a symbol of dignity and righteousness.
I will use it well and pass it down to you.
Please be an outstanding Empress as wise as a fox...
and as powerful as a lion.
Please bring more glory to this chair.
I'm not too sure if I follow you yet,
but I'll spare nothing to do my best.
Oh, my.
By the way, what did you bring here?
My father prepared them for you as his token of his gratitude.
These are blankets.
You said I didn't have to bring any wedding presents.
My father insisted on giving you a set of blankets.
Oh, my. Look at that.
The flower embroidery is indeed beautiful.
I must use the blanket starting tonight.
Please thank your father for me.
I like them as well.
It must have been hard to prepare these alone.
I'm sure the palace has everything you would need.
I'm very glad to see how happy you are...
about his presents.
If my mother had been alive,
she would have made these herself.
I will learn how to sew from now on...
and sew summer blankets for you.
I can't wait for it to be summer already.
Okay.
I'm very delighted to have such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law.
Empress Dowager, aren't you happy to have another daughter?
Of course.
Ms. Choi, these are very valuable. Keep these safe.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Empress.
Which class do you have today?
Pardon?
You must learn the rules of the Imperial Family quickly.
No matter how difficult it is, don't do a half-hearted job.
I won't, Mother.
I'm so glad to have you, Mother.
You feel like my real mom.
You're the prettiest among everyone I know.
At first, I thought you were from a beauty pageant.
- Ms. Hong is waiting for you. - I see.
I will escort you.
She makes it too obvious she was raised without a mother.
What would you like to do with the blanket?
Her taste is too vulgar.
Throw it out this very minute.
It's hot. It's so hot.
- Your Highness. - Do you have cold water?
The roof of my mouth is completely burnt.
This is the pedigree chart for the Imperial Family.
The chart records elders' birthdays...
as well as ancestors' dates of death.
- You must memorize all of them. - All of these?
I can program these dates into my phone to get notifications.
Must I memorize them?
Instead of telling me these,
can you tell me if Grandmother and Mother get along?
I heard Grandmother's marriage wasn't arranged but out of love.
Does Mother and the Emperor argue?
I'm more curious about things like that.
You must memorize this book as well.
The Imperial Family considers filial duty and manners the best.
This is harder than the college entrance exam.
Don't you worry, Ms. Hong.
I just gave up on math.
I was average in subjects that needed memorization.
I'll do my best.
Just like Dad said, this is a miracle.
Goodness, Sunny. You've outdone yourself.
No way. This is amazing.
Talk about going from rags to riches. This is unbelievable.
This room is breathtaking.
Let me unpack.
I paid a lot of money to buy these from a family with five sons.
Put these at the head of the bed just like this.
With these, you'll be blessed with babies soon.
Goodness, Dad. Why did you give me these?
He's something else. He never gets embarrassed.
Do you like your place?
Your Majesty, when did you get here?
Why is your face so red?
Are you not well, perhaps?
I'm perfectly fine. It's just too hot in here.
By the way, it's been so long since I last saw you, Your Majesty.
I understand that you are busy,
but you didn't bring the gifts yourself.
I had no choice as I had a lot to take care of before the wedding.
To make up for it, I prepared something.
This sapphire necklace is passed down...
to only the Empresses of Korea.
A previous emperor specially commissioned a French jeweler.
This is a one of a kind.
It's so fancy looking.
I'd be too blinded to wear this.
The Empress of Korea deserves it.
Here.
Thank you for marrying me, Sunny.
I received more than I can handle yesterday already.
You keep giving me things. I feel bad.
It's kind of embarrassing to give you this now, but...
Just a minute.
It's my gift.
It's a bracelet.
I made it myself.
Azure stone matching bracelets.
See? Matching bracelets.
They say azure stones make love grow.
Your Majesty. The truth is...
I've been your fangirl since high school.
Sorry?
You're the reason I became a musical actress,
and I wrote hundreds of letter...
so that I can win a spot at that luncheon.
I know...
that I'm not good enough,
and that I like you much more.
But I'll work hard to become a person...
befitting of your wife.
I'll make sure you like me much more.
Wait and see.
I can't wait,
Sunny.
Yes.
We are in front of Ehwa Palace, where the Emperor...
and Oh Sunny's wedding is about to take place.
The 121 invited guests are entering now.
The Imperial Family stated that the wedding would be...
small and modest to set an example to the people.
Representatives from all over the world are sending...
their congratulations to the Emperor of the Korean Dynasty.
The wedding ceremony of the century, which will be broadcast live...
all across the world will be held here in Ehwa Palace.
Your Highness, His Majesty is ready.
Please come.
Okay.
The Empress is here.
My Empress.
You look beautiful,
Sunny.
You look even more dashing.
Your Majesty, Your Highness, we will escort you from here.
This will be a very amusing wedding.
Finally, the day has come.
Grandmother, what kind of an Imperial Wedding is this?
We didn't invite any foreign royals, there are no special performances,
and there's no golden carriage, either.
We brought in every black horse and white horse...
and gave you the biggest wedding for all the world to see,
and you got divorced twice. This is your fault.
I get sick to my stomach whenever I see a golden carriage.
To be honest, you're making it fast and easy...
because the bride's family is so pathetic, right?
Mother was the daughter of a conglomerate family.
How did you approve such a loser daughter-in-law?
His Majesty wanted to marry her.
Since the Empress is an average person,
a modest small wedding seems nice as well.
The Empress is definitely not an average person.
You'll see.
Great-grandmother.
Is His Imperial Majesty marrying his bride today?
Yes, that is correct.
All the newspapers are praising the Empress.
They say although she is poor, she has dignity,
and although she is humble, she is confident.
They say in this age filled with plastic surgery beauties,
her pure beauty stands out above the rest.
Like my mother.
Ari, you are wrong about one thing.
This one is obviously not natural.
Ari! I told you not to say stupid things!
Get up and go to the wedding.
Nanny! Nanny, where are you?
Get up.
Your Highness, Ms. Min is here to see you.
Okay. Show her in.
Yu Ra. What are you doing here?
Don't you know what day this is?
It's been a while.
I am the new Chief Assistant of the Imperial Family...
responsible for the Emperor and Empress.
The Chief Assistant? You? Says who?
I appointed her.
It was difficult to scout her,
so you should show Ms. Min respect.
- Your Highness. - The Emperor already approved.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
The Emperor and Empress will arrive shortly at the ceremony.
I see. We should go.
Yu Ra. How did she...
How...
(Episode 8)
I'm happy to see you healthy, Grandmother.
Mommy!
What's going on?
Mommy!
Sunny? It's okay!
Sunny!
Someone save her!
Someone! Sunny!
Empress!
Somebody help!
- Get moving. - Mommy!
Sunny!
Mommy!
Help.
Lower the crane at once!
But...
Something's wrong with it.
What? Why that...
Mommy!
Help me!
Honey, please don't take Sunny. I'm begging you!
- No. - Mommy!
Mommy!
Help me.
We'll escort you to safety.
You want us to flee and leave the Empress?
The security team will save her, so you should go.
- Escort the Emperor. - But...
Protect the Emperor!
What? My daughter is about to die,
and they're running away?
Sunny!
Dad, I think I'm going to die.
Let go!
I think Mom is calling me.
What do I do, Dad?
Sunny!
Thank goodness. She's been saved.
Hel Ro! My daughter.
Are you awake?
- You up? - Are you okay?
How do you feel?
What happened to my wedding?
What wedding? You almost died.
Seriously.
But is the Imperial Family cursed or something?
How do you get hurt anytime there's a function here?
Was it an attack again?
They don't know yet. They're investigating.
What... What about His Majesty?
They all came by earlier.
The Empress Dowager, the Grand Empress Dowager, everyone.
His Majesty is okay, right?
Nothing else happened, right?
Why you...
Don't worry about him. He's totally fine.
How could he run away when his bride is about to die?
I was totally disappointed in him. Totally.
His Majesty ran away?
After what happened to you,
the security team rushed over and whisked the Emperor away.
Thank goodness one guard catch you...
as you were falling.
Otherwise, you would've at least had a concussion.
Whatever. I can't remember anything. It hurts.
Dad. What about our honeymoon?
How could you even think about that right now?
Look at the state you're in.
We can't go?
That's not fair.
It's my first time leaving the country!
Dad. I think I can make it.
You're not going anywhere.
How could this happen again so soon after the last attack?
And during the wedding, which was being broadcast worldwide?
Is this excusable, Chief Guard?
It is not, Your Majesty.
So? Did you look into it?
They found that the crane had been tampered with,
and its controlling mechanism was broken as well.
Are you saying someone did this intentionally?
That is how it appears.
That means someone targeted the Empress.
But why? What did the Empress do wrong?
Your Highness, don't tell me you suspect me.
I said nothing of the sort.
I wasn't behind it. I have no reason to do such a thing.
However, the incident has already occurred,
and someone must be responsible for it.
We must take our time to figure out...
who would detest and be jealous of the Empress.
How dare they target the Empress?
I will find out who's behind this by all means!
Thoroughly interrogate the crane operator first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Naturally, you must.
I see you brought back Min Yu Ra again.
Grandmother called her back in.
I was in the dark as well.
She's a frightening girl.
She vanished into thin air for two months.
I don't know when she approached Mother.
I am certain she was involved in today's incident.
Based on what evidence do you make your claim?
She's not capable of doing such an evil act.
Your Majesty.
We're investigating everyone related to this incident.
It won't be late for us to discuss this after we discover the truth.
I must get some rest now.
This is my last warning.
Expel Yu Ra from the place right now.
If you don't, the palace will be a madhouse.
Mark my words. You'll learn soon enough that I am right.
I suppose Yu Ra is indeed a threat to you, Mother.
In that case, I must try harder to keep her here.
Your Highness, did you ask for me?
It's about the attack on the Empress today.
Report to me as soon as the investigation is over.
Yes, Your Highness.
What is it?
Is there something you want to tell me?
Actually,
there is something I didn't have a chance to tell you earlier.
Go on.
It's all right. Tell me.
This is a very important matter to our Imperial Family.
I looked into the crane operator.
Ms. Choi on the Empress Dowager's service...
hired the operator.
Right before an important ceremony,
she changed the operator at the last minute which alarmed me.
Then does it mean the Empress Dowager...
No, we haven't found any concrete evidence.
I can't confirm anything yet.
I appointed you as Chief Assistant of the Imperial Family...
for the safety of the Empress.
Please look after the Empress with the utmost care and assist her.
That is my request.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
I will help as far as my strength allows.
Goodnight, Your Highness.
She's no ordinary girl either.
The fight has begun,
so soon, the culprit will be caught.
I've got to hand it to you.
How did you come back?
On top of that, you returned as the chief.
Let's take a walk.
Anyway, did you find Wang Shik?
What about Dong Shik?
About that. They're gone as if they never existed.
It's already been two months.
What could he be plotting? I have a bad feeling about this.
Find him as soon as possible...
before the Emperor gets wind of it.
Are you...
You're the one who saved me, right?
Yes.
Thank you so much.
Thanks to you, I wasn't hurt badly.
I'll thank you properly another time.
Wait for me a bit longer, Yu Ra.
It's been two months.
Do you know what I did...
in order to get you back to the palace?
I begged Grandmother and said no one but you could do this job.
I am back here upon the request of the Grand Empress Dowager.
Once the Empress is adjusted to life in the palace,
I plan to leave.
You think I called you back, so you can look after the Empress?
- Pardon? - Must I tell you why...
I agreed to this ridiculous marriage?
It was to be free from Mother's meddling.
I wanted to be stronger with Sunny as my shield.
I wanted to become a real Emperor!
I realized this when she had called the police in order to separate us.
If she doesn't get her way, in the end, she's even willing...
to throw away her own son.
That's my mother.
That's my mother!
Now, I'll take everything my mother has one by one.
Whether it's her influence,
money, or power,
I'll take it all.
Your Majesty.
Soon, I'll make you the most powerful woman in this palace,
so don't doubt me or become jealous of her.
Just trust me!
If you still can't trust me,
you may leave now.
Your Majesty, I won't doubt you...
or become jealous of her.
If it means you can be free from the Empress Dowager's influence,
I can even wash the Empress' feet!
Until then,
I'm at your disposal.
I understand.
Thank you.
Who is this? Is this me?
I can't believe this!
All of my wedding photos are humiliating.
My life is ruined!
The Emperor must not see these.
What am I going to do? What will I do?
This is terrible.
Your Highness, this is Min Yu Ra.
Darn it.
Your Highness, how are you feeling?
My whole body aches. I'm about to lose it.
The Emperor sent you a special meal to help you recover quickly.
What about the Emperor?
Will he not join me?
He has a lot to investigate regarding today's incident.
He was terribly worried about you, Your Highness.
Worrying won't do me any good.
He hasn't visited me at all.
Hey,
if you see the Emperor,
please tell him that I'm in critical condition.
Tell him that I couldn't even eat.
I will relay that message.
Thank you so much.
Please help me a lot, Ms. Min.
Of course, Your Highness.
I'll do my best to assist you.
Thank you.
I'm fine.
Luckily, I didn't break any bones. A few days' rest is all I need.
Yes, I'm eating well and living in luxury now.
Don't you worry now.
Is he nice to you?
Does he visit you often?
Of course, he's crazy about me.
He's a busy man, but he cleared his whole schedule.
He's glued to me. I'm already sick of him.
Dad, he's looking for me again. I've got to go.
Is the Emperor dead or alive?
I mean, his wife was injured. How could he not visit once?
Oh my gosh.
How long were you standing there?
You didn't overhear my phone call, did you?
You did.
You should've let me know you were there.
Why are you... My gosh.
Seriously.
He's so...
Look. Why are you following me?
I am a guard. I am your personal bodyguard.
I have Ms. Min. Why do I need a guard?
Whenever Your Highness leaves your room,
a guard must accompany you.
Then you've been following me ever since I left my hospital room?
I am always following you.
- And listen in on my calls? - Even if I heard, I did not hear.
This is so humiliating.
What's your name?
It is Chun Woo Bin.
Chun Woo Bin?
Chun Woo Bin? Right?
You're the one who saved me when I fell.
I was only told your name.
I fainted, so I don't remember any of it.
My apologies for not thanking you sooner.
My neck is still a bit weak.
My name is Oh Sunny. It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
Regardless, I owe you one,
so I'd like to show you my gratitude somehow.
Don't feel bad. Anything...
Then may I leave the palace for a short while?
I have an urgent matter.
Please keep it a secret from the Chief Guard.
But to give your answer as soon as I ask...
Go ahead.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I will escort you to your hospital room.
Oh my gosh.
Please rest. I will return as quickly as possible.
You can take your time.
I'll be resting in here anyway, so I don't need protection...
What? Did he jet already?
He asked me to repay him as if he was prepared...
like he was a creditor.
He ignored me and wouldn't smile.
He's such a jerk.
Did you sleep well, Grandmother?
I was selfish and rested well alone.
How do you feel?
Thanks to your concern and sending me delicious foods,
I'm almost all better, Granny.
I mean, Grandmother.
Are you all right? You don't seem fully recovered.
You should be careful.
I'm really okay, Your Majesty.
You are not.
I think you should forego visiting the elders in the palace...
for the time being.
No. I heard Mother...
is not well either. I should go and see her.
Do as she says.
Your body is not yours alone anymore.
I am sure Mother will understand.
His Majesty is worried, Your Highness.
I can see the love shining in his eyes.
You two make a beautiful couple. It is good to see.
Cut.
We'll stop filming the visit here.
"The Emperor's Newlywed Diary"? Whose idea was that?
Mother? Or you, Grandmother?
The Emperor prepared it himself.
The people wanted to see their life as newlyweds as well,
but His Majesty called us first.
Did you really propose it first?
It's unbelievable.
The people are worried because the Empress was hurt at the wedding.
I thought especially her family, who must feel empty...
after marrying her off, would miss her greatly.
You have changed a lot since you met her.
You're such a loving husband.
Your Majesty, you are such a doting husband.
I envy the Empress so much.
I said I was sick, but the Emperor is not visiting?
Did he really say that?
He sent a message wishing you deep rest...
and went to film with the Empress.
How could he do this to me?
The Grand Empress Dowager ordered that they skip...
the visitations until the Empress has recovered.
Does she truly suspect me or something?
This is all because of that witch Yu Ra.
I swear I will tear her to shreds and kill her!
- My Empress. - Yes?
Is it going well?
Yes.
You're sweating. Here.
Take your time.
Please try this, Your Majesty.
I've scheduled a massage for you to relieve the tension in your body.
His Majesty will receive one with you.
We're getting a massage together?
The Grand Empress Dowager prepared this for the two of you as well.
It's embarrassing,
but since it's what Grandmother prepared for us, I'll do it.
Then I'll go have it set up.
Okay.
A couple massage with the Emperor? Our first night together?
Oh dear.
The Empress seems embarrassed, so close the screen.
Yes, Your Majesty.
But... Your...
I am grateful, Your Majesty.
You must be tired.
I'm fine.
I'm full of energy. We have the whole night ahead of us.
You must be tired from the shoot. Relax as you get the massage.
Be especially good to her.
Yes, Your Majesty. We will begin first then.
Please lie down face down.
What about His Majesty? Is his masseuse not here yet?
Only Ms. Cho massages His Majesty. She'll be here soon.
Ms. Cho. Start with my shoulders today.
That feels good.
Your Majesty, do you get massages only from Ms. Cho?
I see. What's familiar is best.
I only get my perms from Mr. Park in my neighborhood.
I need to get it from him for it to last long.
Where do you get your hair done, Your Majesty?
Well...
Your Majesty?
What have you found on Min Yu Ra?
She has no flaws? Then we'll just create some.
I am Oh Sunny, the Empress of the Korean Empire.
Killing one rat won't put an end to it.
Chun Woo Bin.
I will kill them all. I'll kill all of them!
