(Queen and I)
What's happening here?
I was afraid I might make things awkward for you.
I came because I heard I could be of some help.
Your friend told me that we're supposed to be lovers.
I don't know if I'll do a good job,
but I'll do my best to be like one.
Where did you learn all this?
This comes directly from a comic book scene.
In a flash, you appear out of nowhere.
It gives me goosebumps.
What's goosebumps?
Is that a swear word too?
That's a compliment.
If you want to act like my lover convincingly,
just be as corny as you are right now.
I love corny things.
Where are you going?
You need to change.
Gosh, we've got no time.
You have five minutes.
Has the sex scandal issue been resolved, Your Majesty?
Hey, buy me some wine when this is over.
Buy you what?
I'm speechless.
You got a slap in the face somewhere else...
and you come to me for comfort?
Looking at the relationship of those two,
it doesn't look like anyone can come between them.
You mustn't go straight home, understand?
Han Dong Min, have you resolved yesterday's issue?
Yes, Director.
Don't worry.
But, Director.
I have a very good idea.
How about killing off Queen In Hyun with poison?
Wouldn't that be really interesting?
I have nothing to do with it, Director.
Don't misunderstand.
It's my idea. What do you think of it?
Why do you want to get rid of Queen In Hyun?
Because I hate her. I don't even want to look at her.
Do you hate her?
Conventionally speaking,
is that a king or a psycho?
No, but King Suk Jong really is a psycho.
A man with two wives has plenty on his plate.
Since that's already the case,
he should dump one and live happily with his new wife.
The ex-wife kills the new wife,
do you think that's right?
Director!
Hey, you're not allowed to go home just like that.
You must buy me a drink!
Goodness.
I'm so sorry. I'm late.
I heard that the issue has been resolved.
Pardon?
It has.
I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've caused.
Why is she not answering?
(Jo Soo Kyung)
Why isn't she here yet? What is she doing?
Please take this.
What is this?
You know Park Jun Ho who is playing Jang Hui Jae...
was taken to the hospital, right?
So the script was changed.
The writer sent it over today.
But is he going to get discharged soon?
It looks like it could take up a month.
What's going to happen now?
What's this?
Why are there so many changes?
Can I ask you something, Director?
- It's the script. - What's with the script?
It's not just the scenes involving Jang Hui Jae,
but there are a lot of other changes in the script.
May I know why?
What changes have been made?
There's a country called Gabsul in the latter part.
Wasn't that changed last time?
Originally Min Am bribed someone called Han Min Hwan...
in order to betray Suk Jong and get something important from him.
- When he knew that... - Han Min Hwan?
- Who's Han Min Hwan? - Pardon?
Gabsul Hanguk was originally about Min Am's henchmen...
who betrayed him by passing his letter to the king.
Then, he got arrested by the king. Is this how it goes?
No, not like that.
No?
Was there a change? Is there something wrong with it?
No, only Jang Hui Jae's script that's changed.
It didn't happen that way. I'm very sure of it.
I memorized it because I was so interested in it.
Maybe you were confused.
No, the content is very strange...
Why are you going to Seoul?
I have to resolve something with the Right State Councillor.
Right State Councillor? Min Am?
What conclusion?
What's the matter?
No. It's nothing.
I think I got confused.
Sorry, it's because...
Please continue with your meal.
(Hall of Eternal Happiness)
Year 1694, Gabsul. On March 27.
Someone broke into King Suk Jong's palace...
and left His Majesty a letter by shooting an arrow.
The letter's content exposed...
the conspiracy plotted by Min Am and Jang Hui Jae...
to stop Queen In Hyun reinstatement by killing her.
That night, Suk Jong sent the palace guards to investigate.
The assassins attacking the Queen's residence were killed...
and Queen In Hyun was rescued.
How can this be?
How did this...
The King, Suk Jong then made a decree to banish Min Am...
and all those who were involved.
He also reopened the investigation of the case during the 13th year...
and discovered that Min Am was involved too...
and released Kim Boong Do.
My goodness. You're studying hard.
Very good.
I read the history books too...
every time I do dramas like this.
And if it's a medical drama, I'd read up material on medicine.
But what's the point of learning them?
Might as well just memorize my lines.
Thank you for lending this.
Hello? Where are you?
I'm at the café.
- You called many times. - What exactly are you doing there?
We have some things to talk about.
You just focus on doing a good job with your drama.
What are you two discussing?
Isn't it enough that he came? What is there to talk about?
Just focus on your acting.
I want to talk to him.
Why are you like this?
Are you really not going to listen to me?
I'm your employer.
This brat is really...
What a bother.
Hello?
Why are you still there?
Just tell her you're busy and go.
She'll only be talking nonsense.
That's okay.
She's always disturbing me.
She'll probably want you to pay.
I'm here because I need your friend.
Why do you need her?
It's a secret.
What? Secret?
We'll meet later.
Wait!
I've only just found out too.
Did you know that the history records have been revised?
The details about the Gabsul incident.
You saw it?
Were you really responsible?
So the person who shot the arrow towards the king...
I did that. Keep this a secret between us.
Everyone wants to save their own lives.
But if change the fate of others,
I worry about what will happen next.
So other than my own,
I try my best not to change other people's fate.
Now that history records have changed I feel relieved.
As the saying goes, man plans but the Heaven decides.
Am I right?
Well, maybe...
It seems like you don't get me.
What does that mean?
Are you making fun of me?
You don't even understand swear words.
I wasn't making fun of you.
I was afraid you wouldn't understand.
But...
no one knows about the change in the records, you know?
I'm the only one who knows...
what Gabsul incident was originally like.
Correct.
Only the two of us know about this.
Why am I the only one who knows it?
I'm not quite sure either.
Let's talk later.
How can such a thing happen?
Choi Hee Jin, come quick.
Sorry, I'm late.
That's okay.
First of all, I'm grateful that you could come.
But what needs to be asked must be asked.
Don't you think so?
The reporters are asking,
but I don't have no idea about anything.
There are too many things that I don't know.
Why don't you have a cell phone?
I don't need it.
Why don't you need it?
Don't you make even one phone call?
Practically none.
Why?
I don't know many people here.
Apart from my wife...
I mean, apart Choi Jin Hee...
Didn't you say you live in Bukchon?
So why don't you know anyone in Seoul?
My home is a little far away.
You don't live here?
I don't live here.
So where do you live? Do you live abroad?
What about your school? Aren't you in college? What do you study?
Since I'm running out of time,
can I ask you a question too?
What is it?
What does Choi Hee Jin need the most now?
What she needs the most?
Why?
I'd like to give it to her.
A gift for her?
Hee Jin is already so grateful that you could come.
Do you realize how little self-respect she has?
It's not that she doesn't have self-respect.
She's like that because she's too kind.
Having a meal is not enough to return the favor.
At least you know that.
Yes, I do.
So what should I buy for her?
Please give me a suggestion.
First, tell me your budget.
What's budget?
It's not just one or two things that she needs,
so the budget will have to be huge.
You have to tell me if you can afford it.
Only then can I make suggestions.
Rather than that, what she needs the most?
The thing she needs most right now is super-expensive.
I need to suggest based on how much...
That's all right.
Gosh.
What kind of a bluff is this?
How can you say it's all right?
The things that Hee Jin needs are really expensive.
I'm saying this in consideration of you.
Are these not enough?
I'm telling you, a few checks of 10,000 won is not enough...
Is this...
one million won?
I heard this is enough to buy whatever she wants.
No?
No...
I mean, why this big sum of money?
You didn't even keep this...
in a wallet?
Wallet?
I was too busy to buy a wallet.
I have another question.
What does corny mean?
Corny?
What do I do to make Hee Jin feel as if I'm corny?
Is this a very weird question?
I'm not joking. I asked because I really want to know.
I want Hee Jin to buy what she needs the most.
And if it's possible,
I'd like to do the corny thing that she likes the most.
Please give some advice.
Who's that?
I see.
My goodness.
So night can turn into day just like that.
I don't know what's what anymore.
I hear the three high officials are being investigated.
Isn't that the Right State Councillor?
He and the other two officials...
- were misusing their power. - Goodness.
My goodness.
Your Excellency.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't quick enough.
Find out Kim Boong Do's whereabouts.
Did you say Kim Boong Do?
He vanished like smoke that night.
What?
It wasn't the first time.
You must find out what trick he used, no matter what.
Hey.
If I die, I must certainly have him die too.
Hey.
Your Majesty, we are at the palace now.
I'm afraid to say this, but Her Majesty, the Queen,
has personally sewn His Majesty's clothes and bedding.
Isn't that the duty of the palace maid?
I wanted to do it myself, Your Majesty.
So I didn't tell the others.
You can't do that, Your Majesty.
It's not for you to do.
I understand.
- Okay! - It's good.
Stop for a minute.
Wait. Stop right there. Please wait.
- Jin Soo, come over here a minute. - Okay.
What time is it now?
It's 9:30pm.
Where on earth is she?
What exactly is she doing?
Okay, we'll start filming once this break is over.
Come on.
What did you say?
This...
What are you doing?
I want you to hurry up and marry Kim Boong Do.
I really don't know. I'm so muddled.
It's not something I can describe with words.
Why do you look like you don't understand?
What?
Really, as a manager,
I really have no clue what to do regarding this issue.
Should I be happy or envious about this?
Should I be worried or should I stop you?
Or should I be encouraging you?
Go. Your boyfriend is waiting for you.
Is he here? Goodness.
Where is he?
First, insert it.
Second, press the button.
Third, change gear.
Fourth, step on it.
Step five, stop.
Sixth, open.
Wait. What...
Did you drive this?
Are you crazy?
Seventh, change gear.
Eighth, press down.
No, wait. Where did you get the car?
You don't even know how to drive. Do you want to get yourself killed?
Ninth, pull it out.
Tenth, hand the gift over.
Take this.
It's to thank you for saving me.
She said you've always wanted this car.
You had to sell your old car...
because you couldn't afford to keep it.
I've checked it out. It's a nice ride.
It's easier than I imagined.
If you feel you can manage it,
why don't you give it a try?
Why are you being like this?
Why do you keep doing things that are straight from comic books?
Right.
Your friend said it's the corniest thing to do...
and you'd like it if I do it.
Don't you?
Can't you see?
All of this corniness is giving me a cold sweat.
So it's a success then.
You stole this, didn't you? You're crazy.
How can you say that? I'm not a thief.
Not a thief? You steal people's clothes every day.
You steal this too, right?
Well...
I have no choice about the clothes.
I wanted to give you more.
But this was far more expensive than I thought.
I don't have much left after buying this.
Where did you get the money from?
I sold my father's heirloom.
Look at it.
I can tell by the grains that this is antique.
That's right, sir.
This was given to my ancestor by Emperor Se Jong.
But how did you keep a Joseon era sword in such good condition?
Because I was diligent in taking care of it.
How much can you give me for it?
But no matter how I look at it, I feel cheated.
That was very valuable even during my time.
In the end, this was all I could afford to buy.
Whether it's now or then, the merchants have their tricks.
You sold something so precious just to buy this for me?
I wanted to give this to you, that's why I sold it.
Are you really...
giving this to me?
It's not possible to take this with me.
From what I know, you're not usually so hesitant.
What?
So what kind of a person do you think I am?
You're audacious and yet charming.
You don't know what audacious means?
It means shameless and bold.
I know that. Do you think I'm that slow-witted?
Are you insulting me now or what?
You're saying I'm shameless but charming?
I sincerely think that you're charming.
If I die just like that, my bloodline will be cut off too.
Even if my father was alive,
he'll repay your kindness too.
My regard for you is far greater than this gift.
Since you've agreed that me being shameless is charming,
it's settled now.
What?
Because I'm too shameless, you can't resist my charm?
That's right.
Can I really try it out?
As you wish.
Wait.
My skirt is too long.
Not everyone who wears the queen's gown can be a queen.
Even if the queen sits in a sedan smaller than this,
I've never seen her gown getting twisted like this.
I'm like this when I'm anxious.
Did you think Queen In Hyun won't be like this?
This is great.
Your friend stressed that you can't go out...
because you're filming.
I'll just take a spin. Don't worry.
You driving from there to here just now isn't considered driving.
This is what real driving is.
Are you having fun?
What's wrong?
Is there a problem?
You're swindling me, aren't you?
From the start, you planned to approach and scam me, right?
You're a con artist who con people aren't you?
All this talk about time machine and whatever.
No.
It probably started off as a nonsensical lie.
But it got bigger and eventually, it got out of hand.
At first, you only thought about getting that bit of money.
But the gate-crasher supplanted the host and you became my lover.
Now you don't feel like you can continue with it.
So you're just buttering me up before you slip away, is that it?
Out with it. Aren't you a swindler?
There are no time machines in this world.
I'm the only one who's easily deceived.
I don't know how you changed the information on the internet,
but isn't that swindling too? It's all a lie.
Am I right?
What will you do if it was all a lie?
Are you going to hand me over to the police?
Of course, I'll hand you over to the police.
And when you got released...
I think I'd want to go out with you for real.
I wish you were really a swindler.
Just think about it.
It's so hard to meet someone you really like.
Someone who is of the same mind as you.
Even if that someone is a swindler,
at least he's living in the same world as I.
That's better than a specter of some ancestor from the past.
You're a swindler, right? And a professional one at that.
Right? It's all a lie, right?
Yes, it's all a lie.
A lie.
Get in the car.
Shouldn't you be going back in there now?
I'll teach you another useful thing about a car.
Other than transporting people, the car has another use.
Watch carefully.
Understand?
That was...
the main use of a car when it comes to a stop.
You remember that, right?
My goodness.
Look at you. You've fallen for my charming shamelessness again.
I knew this would happen.
Choi Hee Jin!
Queen In Hyun!
Choi Hee Jin!
See? I told you they can't see us from outside.
I feel like...
selling that heirloom wasn't a stupid move after all.
Aren't you going?
They're looking for you.
So where will you go and what will you do?
I'll go back to Jeju Island first...
and go back to my official position.
The reinstatement order will take some time.
So isn't it safer to be there while waiting?
And if you can go back?
When that time comes, I'll return to Hanyang.
And re-enter the palace to continue my work.
Just return to my daily life.
Returning to your daily life means...
you'll be getting married too?
Didn't you say you don't have a wife?
Wasn't ancestral line important in that era?
Which means it's imperative for you to get married, right?
Where will you find a bride...
Let's meet in a month's time.
To get everything done and get back to Hanyang may take a month.
I'll find you when I reach home.
You have no reason to come back here.
Why shouldn't I be here when my lover is here?
Didn't you just say you're going to be my real lover?
I thought it was only for today.
Do you still remember what you asked me that day?
What causes our encounter?
I'm not a smart person,
so please tell me.
If us becoming a couple is the cause,
what would be the effect?
I've been contemplating it,
but I still haven't found the answer.
So until I know the answer,
I will keep coming to see you.
Right.
Of course, if only you agree to it...
and I do not misunderstand...
with whom, where and when...
you do the parting greeting with.
(Queen and I)
Why are you up so early?
Aren't you tired being up the whole night?
I can't sleep anymore.
So I'm going to buy some groceries. We have nothing to eat at home.
Hey.
We haven't finished talking.
About what?
It's regarding Kim Boong Do's identity.
He flew for the first time, didn't have his ID with him,
doesn't know how to drive,
doesn't have a cell phone.
He doesn't know how much a car costs,
but he has a check of over 10 million dollars in his pocket.
Don't you find it strange?
Yes, it's strange.
What is he doing for a living actually?
Tell me the truth,
don't you lie to me.
I told you the other day, didn't I?
When did you?
Don't you remember?
He is a man from 300 years ago.
This is true.
You don't believe even it is true.
Good morning.
Are you not filming today?
No, I'm taking a day off today.
That drama is really interesting.
But when will you appear?
I only saw you for a moment and that was it.
Some of the cast changes next week. Don't miss it.
Of course. I follow that series faithfully.
You must succeed and buy yourself a house.
You're not suited for this environment.
What do kids call that nowadays?
That's right. It'll greatly lower your status!
I don't have the money now. It'll take time to save up.
Says who?
Just sell that car and you'll be able to move out.
That's not my car. It's borrowed from to someone else.
- You're not the owner of the car? - That's right.
He doesn't come here often,
so I'm looking after it for him.
I thought actors in TV dramas...
are paid a great deal.
Thank you for your hard work.
Okay.
So we'll meet here in a month's time?
Let's spend the whole day together.
We'll have a real date.
What's a date?
Gosh. I'm with a man who doesn't know what a date is.
What am I going to do?
I'll show you the real meaning of a date that day.
Look forward to it.
(Beware of mountain fire.)
Traveling through time saves a life.
(Queen and I)
My lord.
It'll be fine. Don't worry.
Rest assured.
Is he not conscious yet?
His wound is a little better, but he's still unconscious.
I feel so anxious.
Will he persecute me to death?
He won't die.
He won't just abandon everyone irresponsibly.
He's already been found, so where can he go?
He's awake!
Somebody! He's awake! Get the physician!
He's awake! Get the physician!
Yes.
How are you feeling?
You were unconscious for over 10 days.
We were so worried about you.
Where is this place?
It's an official residence.
Official residence?
I am Minister Seok Hui Yeon.
I apologize for greeting you like this.
You said you're a minister.
Where is this place?
Don't you know the Minister of Jeju Island?
- Jeju Island? - You've been officially absolved.
The royal decree for your reinstatement came a few days ago.
Up until now, you were unconscious.
I'm afraid I wasn’t able to do anything about it.
That's not true.
My lord had been making a great effort.
I'm sorry.
But I don't understand what you're talking about.
I can't make sense of what you just said.
May I ask why I'm in Jeju Island right now?
And what is this royal decree for my reinstatement all about?
Why are you in Jeju Island?
You were banished here because of some trumped up charges.
But the matter has been cleared up and you've been reinstated now.
After investigating the incident at the Special Advisors Office,
Kim Boong Do, who was framed, is to be relieved and reinstated.
My lord.
Goodness, my lord.
Finally, we have good news. I thought you were going to die!
Do you know how sad I have been?
How could you worry me like this?
Why are you here?
Why am I here?
Of course, I rushed here to take you back home!
How would I know you'd been stabbed and unconscious?
That venomous snake Min Am sent an assassin here.
We tried to assassinate him that night.
At first, he got off.
But we managed to catch up with him and stabbed him.
We would've succeeded in killing him,
but he suddenly vanished.
We searched for him three days and nights.
So did the royal guards.
It was like searching for a needle in a haystack as we combed the city.
He then reappeared suddenly after four days.
Get him! Faster!
Fortunately, passing guards discovered you.
They caught that man too.
He confessed that he was sent by the Southerners.
The heavens have been so kind.
You were not annihilated, my lord.
They say Min Am will also be sent here.
I mean, after all that he has done,
he just gets sent into exile.
Goodness.
He's getting his just desserts. This is exceptional news.
Sorry.
I never thought he'd confess so easily.
His Excellency will be sent into exile.
Is everything over now?
Is there anything else to report?
It may not be important, but...
What is this?
It was too late when I got there. Only this was left.
It looks like a talisman that Kim Boong Do had with him.
I took it with me, just in case.
A talisman?
A Confucian scholar carrying a talisman?
Well...
Don't just sit there. Eat something.
Can you eat?
Han Dong.
What's today's date?
Today is the last day of April.
The last day of April...
What's the matter?
March 1st is the last day I remember.
Pardon?
Two months.
I've lost two months from my memory?
Well...
What are you talking about?
What memory have you lost?
Why? What?
What memory?
(Traveling through time saves a life.)
Traveling through time.
What exactly can't you remember?
Everything.
What?
My last memory was of two months ago.
Just before I was stabbed at the Special Advisors Office.
What exactly happened between then and now?
Saves a life.
This is my girlfriend, Choi Hee Jin.
Am I really dating Han Dong Min?
Why do you always make me worry?
The man in the dream, Kim Boong Do?
You don't know Kim Boong Do either?
Who's Kim Boong Do?
Do you...
want to make me your wife?
It must be a dream.
A dream.
This is such a mess.
What is this all about?
Queen In Hyun.
What are you talking about?
He wasn't stalking me but boarded the plane with me.
I used my credit card to buy his ticket.
You can go check it.
We sat separately because we were afraid to get caught.
Now, do you understand?
So please contact the police immediately,
that it's just a misunderstanding.
In this case, we are the victims.
If we have to go to the police and explain the situation,
I will not go easy on you as you're violating my privacy.
Why are you here?
Did you escape?
There's no time to talk in detail.
Write to Jang Hui Jae.
Do you want to harm Her Majesty? You're too audacious!
I would've reported the rebellion event that you planned.
How did you know this?
Looks like I guessed your thoughts correctly.
I'll predict something else.
After thorough examination of the contents,
Special Advisors' Official Kim Boong Do who was punished...
will be relieved and reinstated.
I mean, why this big sum of money?
You didn't even keep this in a wallet?
What's she doing?
I want you to hurry up and marry Kim Boong Do.
How about killing off Queen In Hyun with poison?
Wouldn't that be really interesting?
If I die, I must certainly have him die too.
A talisman?
A Confucian scholar carrying a talisman?
What do I do to make Hee Jin feel as if I'm corny?
What's happening here?
I was afraid I might make things awkward for you.
I came because I heard I could be of some help.
Your friend told me that we're supposed to be lovers.
I don't know if I'll do a good job,
but I'll do my best to be like one.
Now that history records have changed I feel relieved.
As the saying goes, man plans but the Heaven decides.
Am I right?
Well, maybe...
It seems like you don't get me.
What does that mean?
Are you making fun of me?
You don't even understand swear words.
Save...
This is my girlfriend, Choi Hee Jin.
Is Han Dong Min really my boyfriend?
Why do you always make me worry?
The man in the dream, Kim Boong Do?
You don't know Kim Boong Do either?
Who's Kim Boong Do?
Do you...
want to make me your wife?
It must be a dream.
A dream.
This is such a mess.
What is this all about?
Queen In Hyun.
