Oh my god! Oh my god!
This guy!
- Seriously! - Ow, really.
- Stop. - Please let me live. I'm a human being.
You're no better than a beast. How dare you run your mouth?
Does it make you human just because you dress yourself in a gentleman's robe?
Gentleman's robe?
Huh?
Administrator!
Did you drink?
Wh-What's with your broad shoulders?
That's right! I met the Taoist fairy that I had only dreamed of, so how could I not drink?
Anyway... where's...
- the celestial fairy robe? - Seriously.
Widow!
He loses his memory whenever he drinks.
I think he's lost his... life.
Let's say that we found him fallen down in the mountains while drunk, okay?
Yes. Yes.
I-I will go along with that.
[The Tale of Nokdu]
[Episode 3]
Why do you look at me like that?
I... I know everything.
About what?
The reason you were causing a ruckus and refusing to take a bath.
I mean, that is...
To be honest, I'm just like you.
You're... like me?
Even though they're small,
it's all right.
- Pardon? - What's important is your heart.
You mustn't be insecure just because they're small.
You have to be strong, got it?
Yes. He-Heart...
The body disappeared?
(I poisoned him.) The body disappeared?
(I poisoned him.)
Yes. When they went back, he was gone. (I poisoned him.)
Yes. When they went back, he was gone.
The sponsor of the meeting told me that he definitely died...
He tracked Muwoldan by faking his death. Then, he's already at the Widow Village...
But it's a place where men can't enter.
He can easily hide at the courtesan house or anywhere nearby.
Tell them to look for him thoroughly.
What happened to the king's people who went to the island?
We sent them elsewhere and only Muwoldan remains.
So, he won't be able to find out anything.
What about the rest who ran away from the island?
All the widows spread out everywhere and will start looking for them, so it shouldn't be for long.
You must find every one of them without fail, understand?
Yes, Sir.
He has a long-lasting life...
Why did he reappear?
Why now of all times?
Who did you say you just saw?
I'm sure it was Jung Yoon Jeo.
I went down all the way to Gangyangpo over promotion matters,
and I was so shocked when I saw him.
Yoon Jeo died during the uprising.
I know, exactly.
So I took another look, but it was definitely him.
You must've just seen wrong. Don't go around saying such things.
You'll only get scolded for lying.
His Highness was very pleased to hear of it.
You are saying... that you told His Highness?
I did. You were, too,
but His Highness was a close friend of his.
Are you all right?
As soon as we go ashore, I'm going to Hanyang. You should, with Teacher Hwang--
You can't. As soon as you came back from ashore, the assassins attacked us.
If you go to Hanyang, I'm sure they'll hunt you down again.
Where is the medicine shop?
- Where is the medicine shop? - Go over there!
Aren't you Mr. Jung Yoon Jeo?
You've got the wrong person.
I'm Lee In Wu. During the uprising, we were in trouble toge--
I heard you passed away back then. So how are you...
I said you've got the wrong person!
I should have been more careful...
- It's not something you should worry about, so-- - If you bring back Nok Du,
will the truth, that you're so afraid of, remain buried forever, Father?
Get some sleep.
Oh, I'll get to smell the earth of my hometown. It's been a while.
It's really deep in the ravine, so if you hide, you won't easily be found.
I'm thankful and sorry. Because of us, for no reason...
Huh? Why say something so disappointing?
We're going to be in-laws in the future!
Don't you agree?
You couldn't find Jung Yoo Jeo?
No.
We searched Gangyangpo and all nearby island villages, but there was no one with that name.
I think he was mistaken.
Is that so?
I was looking forward to it since I heard that a friend I lost during the uprising was still alive.
It's a shame.
You worked hard.
You're going to sleep like that? Your clothes are wet.
Then... can you give me something to wipe...
By chance, if you have some underwear that you're not wearing, then that, too...
Then... could you please step outside while I'm chang--
Seriously, you're a real fusspot of a widow!
I really dislike things like this.
You should know how to take care of yourself at the very least!
By chance...
Could I ask for a warm cup of water... please?
She doesn't even know I saved her life!
That blanket's mine. This is yours.
Oh, really? Let's just switch.
I don't want to.
- Then step outside, and I'll-- - Fine! Let's just sleep.
Again! Again!
What is it? What now?
Please stop taking your clothes off without telling me!
So that I can prepare myself--
Oh, should I write something and post it up in the room?
Isn't it good manners to change outside?
Huh! Look here, this is my room.
When you change I have to step outside, and when I want to change, I still have to step outside?
Please don't lay a finger on me!
Excuse me! This...
If you really break it down, they're all Haeng Soo's rooms. What do you mean yours?
If you dislike me that much, then go outside and sleep.
If you sleep outside...
your mouth will turn... (T/N: superstition to prevent sleeping cold)
What?
Hey, if you sleep here, your mouth will turn.
Then, it'll have to turn. I'm not going home.
Aren't you sick of running away? It's just a tiny island anyway.
Go home. Mother will be worried.
She worries about you, too. Let's go in together.
Will she?
It's not like I ran away to Mootae.
I just got onto the fishing boat since you were sick.
Why is she this upset?
Hey, Nok Du, Father isn't someone who gets upset for no reason.
- You know, right? - Then, he can just tell me the reason.
Then, I can give up or overcome it.
Hey, Punk. You're going to give up?
Becoming a general after leaving the island?
I mean... No.
- What's the matter, Brother? - Oh, no. What's this?
- Nok Du! - What is it? - My mouth turned.
Seriously! You're bad, Brother!
- Really, if you sleep out here, your mouth will turn. - I'm not going home.
- Let's go. Hurry up. Come on. - I said I'm not going home.
Really! Ow!
What's wrong? What?
My mouth turned, too!
Seriously. Let's go.
Fine, just a second.
I'm not going then.
- I said I am. - I'm not.
- My mouth turned. - I'm not going.
There's no way. I saw him fall myself.
That poison kills you right away.
If he disappeared, then he must have caught on and tricked you.
Wasn't there a man who was chased out while trying to enter our village just recently?
That happens all the time.
It's was on the same day you came back. By chance...
I will find that man right away and--
It's not something you should do alone anymore.
We have to all get involved. As per our orders.
If you did wrong, you need to ask for forgiveness.
Seriously!
As you all know, we failed at our last task due to a mistake we've never made before.
But why did they order us to kill someone who's not an aristocrat nor a government official?
Right! It was an unusual order for us to carry out.
Exactly, who told us to do that?
That... only the sponsor of the meeting would know.
Only the sponsor knows? Who would that be?
What's important is that one of those men tracked us to Widow Village.
He probably will try to hide at Widow Village by using the darkness,
so it would be best to put guards on every road to the village as well as the village itself and the courtesan house.
Well, the village is well-looked after by Yeolyneodan!
He is very capable.
Yeolnyeodan are making the rounds voluntarily.
They're not polished in martial arts, so we have to clamp down.
Please check thoroughly any place where a person could hide,
and there are a lot of people going in and out of the courtesan house, so pay extra attention.
Now, this is the drawing Widow Min made of the man's appearance.
- My appearance? - Memorize his face.
Then, please finish up here. I'll go speak to the sponsor.
Why are you standing there? I thought you were going to see the sponsor.
Yeah... I thought I heard something.
It must have been my footsteps.
Maybe. Okay, work hard.
You are...
He's here!
You're the new widow who joined us.
Where were you so late in the evening?
It was noisy, so I woke up. Then I took a night walk...
Noisy?
That is... the courtesan who I share the room with has such bad sleeping habits, so...
Oh, you mean Dong Joo?
That's right. I hear her drinking habits are no better.
Well... I don't think I'll be drinking with her.
But... why are you wearing those outfits?
Oh... when we're short-handed, we sometimes go and help.
- To make some extra money, too. Right? - Yeah.
Then, I'll be going.
I should have seen the sponsor or whoever that bastard is!
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
There was a huge ruckus because a man showed up at the Widow Village.
What do you mean, a man at the Widow Village?
Yes. I guess he did something terrible and ran away.
All the widows say they have to catch him.
They have to catch him. Whoever it is, I believe he must be a terrible person.
Now.
Oh!
Hwa Soo, who is he?
Oh, it must be your first time seeing him.
He's Joseon's foremost--
- Swordsman. - Pushover.
His Joseon's foremost pushover.
He's Lord Yool Mu's friend, but he's so loyal.
There's no pushover quite like him.
Damn it. I thought he came with a royal command.
Seriously...
It's sweet and refreshing.
Try some before it melts.
Here.
I wish she had at least tried it...
You surprised me.
It's very sweet and tasty. And refreshing.
If that guy hadn't bumped into me, I could have...
Really.
As expected, if I'm to kill him, I have to enter the palace.
If I want to catch a tiger, I have to enter the den.
Excuse--
I should never go to the courtesan house again.
Courtesan house? What about it?
I mean, I went to give them the alcohol we made,
and a man just grabbed my hand.
Why, why? Why did he?
I was so surprised and pushed him away. And what did he say? He thought I was Hwa Soo,
or someone rather...
That beauty? The one whose face could win first place at the state examination?
The one who's very beautiful?
Is she beautiful? She's so white and pale she seems bland to me.
Tell me the truth, all of you. Do I look like her that much?
You do look alike.
It's understandable why the man would be confused.
Seriously... I told you I'm not flattered.
Still, what can you do?
You have to bear it since it happened because you're pretty.
But... crazy... Have you sprained your eyeballs?!
What?
I don't think you need to worry about it.
Not at all. Not at all.
It's a shame that you were told you look like the courtesan whom you dislike.
But my thoughts are different.
Courtesan Hwa Soo has a high nose and her brows are like the crescent moon.
But your nose is wide and flabby,
and your brows are thick like caterpillars, so you look very animated.
You don't look alike at all!
- Wi-Wide and flabby? - Yes!
On top of that, Courtesan Hwa Soo's complexion is too white.
One should be sufficiently yellowish like you in order to look a bit hardy.
Right?
Yellowish? Hey!
Who are you?! Are you a court lady who's out selecting a spouse for the royal family or what?!
Oh... sorry for introducing myself so late. I'm Widow Kim from Hanyang--
Widow Kim or whatever! Ridiculous!
How dare you say wide and flabby?
When you look like a drowning weasel!
Weasel?
We-Weasel. Are you done talking?
Why? You said whatever you wanted,
but I can't?! Huh?
Please let go!
Let's die!
Die!
Don't do this.
Let go!
Oh!
Please let go!
Please!
Seriously...
So hot...
It's pouring down scarily...
Like that day after Yoon Jeo died...
Go.
I'll tell him that the child died and that you buried him.
And that you fell in the water after I cut you with the sword.
Live like you're dead. Like you're dead.
[Lodge]
I have to see Yoon.
(Episode 4 will air shortly.)
The more I think about it, the more ludicrous it is.
I only helped since she was so bothered. [Episode 4]
I wonder if you were truly helping her...
I mean, she said she didn't like looking like her,
so I told her she doesn't look like her, honestly.
- Widow, ma'am, you don't have friends. Right? - What?
You were the wife of a nobleman, so you probably only had servants.
What you have to do in times like these, do you want me to teach you?
Yes.
For free?
Huh?
So listen.
"Oh my god, really? What's going on?"
- About what? - Don't worry about that part.
"Oh my god, really? You look just like her! What's going on?"
You just have to do that appropriately.
What you're telling me, I just can't...
You know, something that's embarrassing to say myself that I wish someone else would instead.
So all you have to do is just go with it.
You're a woman, too. How do you not know such things?
Really, what kind of...
I'm not done eating yet. Widow, ma'am, before you leave, help me with this.
I told you not to take your clothes off at any random place!
Why is this a random place?
Undo the dress and change yourself. I can't help you with that.
Widow, ma'am!
What?!
I can't sleep without a pillow.
Oh, aren't you being too much? To someone who needs help?
Seriously, you're a fusspot of a courtesan!
I really dislike things like this!
People should know how to take care of themselves!
Fine!
It's all over! I won't ask you to help again! Hmph!
What is this? I'm making an enemy, let alone making my approach successfully...
"Oh my god, really? What's going on?"
What is going on, really?
What are you doing?
Oh... I'm itchy since I can't change out of my clothes.
It's a little...
What?
Well... a little bit...
Say it out loud.
What I mean is, right next to it.
Harder. A little harder.
Oh, that's it! Right there.
A little bit over.
A little bit lower.
Oh, that feels good. A little lower.
It feels good!
A little bit, a little bit lower.
Why did she stop in the middle of it?
She got burned, too. Right? It must hurt...
Widow, ma'am.
Right, she must be tired.
What are you doing? Sinning against God and man!
Acting like a fool who's no better than a beast!
Aren't you afraid of the heavens?!
You got burned, too, so I wanted to put some medicinal herb on it for you.
I thought your butt might be hurting.
Butt? Medicinal herb?
How can a woman... to another woman do something like that?!
What is this? Seriously, right now, I'm so...
It's so unfair!
What is unfair?
"Checkmate!"
is what you should have said.
Oh... I forgot.
This game doesn't count either. Again.
It's late, so shouldn't you make your way back to the palace?
There's still time till morning.
Are you still unable to fall asleep, Your Majesty?
Right.
So, please don't kick me out.
How could I?
Please don't say such a thing.
This game, Yoon Jeo was very good at it.
No matter how many times I begged him to let me take back my move,
he would never budge. He was so unyielding.
Yes. He was.
The day he died...
you said it was after he buried the child, right?
Yes. It was, Your Majesty.
And he died by your sword.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Right.
I heard it from you already. I'm asking useless things.
There's no way it would be a lie or that you would fool me...
Let's take a break first. I'm tired.
No matter how much I think about it, I don't think the minister was mistaken with whom he saw...
Look for Jung Yoon Jeo further.
Yes, I will.
Really? What's going on?
"Oh my god, really? What's going--"
Excuse me!
Widow, ma'am!
Ow, ow, ow.
Widow, ma'am, I heard you got a burn.
Yes.
Here's this...
Oh, it's for things like this.
I got hurt a few days ago from falling in the mountain, so I went to see the doctor.
It's an ointment.
I see.
Thank you.
It's...
So what were you thinking, giving me your heart?
Where are you hurt? I'll put on the ointment for you.
- Here. - There? I can't!
Your dirty thoughts are making you bleed.
No, they're not. That's not it.
It's because the wounds are a little infected!
It'll be best to stay out of her sight...
Really...
It's me.
What are you doing?
Why would you come to do the wash with those hands?
I'm almost better. Just give it to me.
Acting like that is what would cause infections.
I said not to approach my butt! I'm fine!
Sit. That's how you get it infected.
You're really good. For the wife of a nobleman.
I'm only helping this time. There's no more.
You say that, but I feel like you'll take care of me next time, too.
Take care? What do you mean?
I'm only begrudgingly helping since it'll only inconvenience me if you get infections.
When did you go see the doctor?
What do you mean a doctor? I just picked it up on the way.
All right, fine.
But it's not bad.
What isn't?
Someone taking care of me. It makes me think about my past, too.
Where is there a person who takes care in such a self-sacrificing way by doing her best?
This is almost like being a mom.
I know.
But... your mother must have been a really good person.
Yes. Very.
Very much so.
I'm envious. Since you have so many good memories with your mom.
It's painful because there are so many.
I'm reminded of her too easily...
What was your mother like?
My mother?
Mother, Father will be back soon with medicine, so please.
My son...
Yes, Mother, I'm here.
Sorry for making you live like this.
I made you like this... when you're so precious...
I'm very sorry, Lee Hyung...
What?
Listen to me carefully.
Your name is...
not Hwang Tae.
Jung...
Lee...
Mother! Mother!
Brother! Brother! Come quickly!
Mother!
It's because of you. If it weren't for you...
my son would've been...
our family would've been...
Mother...
Mother!
She was a... good person. Poor and pitiable...
Oh, aren't you hurting?
Do you want me to put medicine on your butt?
Seriously...
- By chance... - Pardon?
Can I call you "Unnie?" (Older Sister)
♬
I mean, if you're okay with it.
♬
Why? You don't like it?
No.
Pardon?
Since I'm not an older sister... (He's referring that he is not a female.)
Well... I was born in the 32nd year. Maybe you're younger than me?
♬
But you that said by the year of the snake, you had mastered the thousand...
Oh, the year of the snake?
Hey, by that year I had already mastered the thousand character classics and memorized the idiom texts! What about it?
Well, it's not like I have to call you by that no matter what.
It wasn't anything like that, Widow, ma'am.
I'll get going first. I have something urgent to tend to.
♬
She's so weird. Like she's the only one who's busy.
Am I crazy? What's the matter with me?
Did she see me turning red?
Who cares if she did? Why did she say such useless things? Seriously...
Widow?
- What's going on? - Hush!
That shaman is here, in order to comfort the souls of those widows who passed away unfairly.
She's praying right now.
If you go walking around, there will be big trouble.
What kind of big trouble?
Those wronged souls are going around the village,
so you mustn't open the door nor turn on the lights.
- What? - For now, let's go to my house.
There are widows who ignored it,
walked around freely and disappeared, so you mustn't--
Widow, ma'am? Widow Kim!
A man?
What is it? What's going on?
It's the work of a drunk bum.
It smells. I'll bring a change of clothes. Go wash up.
You're the best!
Hey, you're getting it on me!
You know the green robe I like, right?
Hey, just wear whatever.
Widow, ma'am!
You surprised me!
I thought some pervert was trying to look into the courtesan house!
What? A pe-pervert?
But what are you doing here? You said you had things to do.
- Really... - Since you mustn't disturb the guests.
Yes.
Widow, ma'am, why are you here?
Pardon?
I was looking for the scissors, and someone said it was in the dressing room.
Why do you need scissors?
Then, you should open the door! Why would you make a hole like that?
That's because... Well...
I wanted to cut your hair for you.
All of a sudden, why my hair?
It made me feel bad seeing you going around like a bum.
Close your eyes.
Why?
What if the hair goes into your eyes?
Oh, my eyes! Why would you poke them?
No way, that man--
Yes. I think he's hiding here.
Just make the length about the same.
Why are you going to such great pains for it?
It's your precious hair. How could I do it haphazardly?
You think it's that precious and so I wanted to call you Unnie, but you reacted so seriously!
Something's on your chin.
It's bleeding, right?
Oh, you can't!
What are you doing?
You don't need to look at the mirror, really.
It's strange...
Give it to me.
I can't.
It's strange. Let me see.
You can't, I said.
Come on, let me see!
Come on!
Really!

I was going to go to the bathroom.
I'll go back inside.
That's great.
What are you doing here?
I told you not to go anywhere, didn't I?
Stop it right there. You can't leave. Stay next to me.
Dong Joo?
I hear she's well past the age of putting her hair up.
She's of the age, but she's still...
I make the decision, not you.
Dong Joo! Dong Joo!
How much did you hear?
You mean the part where you said you were killing someone?
You heard very clearly.
