The more I think about it, the more absurd this is.
I only helped her out because she was concerned.
I wonder...
if that was really helpful.
I mean she said she did not like that she resembled the gisaeng.
So I told her she did not look like the gisaeng.
I was being honest.
Ma'am.
- You do not have friends, do you? - What?
I am sure you only had assistants...
because you were from a noble family.
Should I tell you what you should do...
in a situation like that?
Yes.
Without nothing in return?
Pardon?
Listen.
"My goodness, really?"
"No way."
- What do you mean? - Do not be logical about it.
"Oh, my. Really?"
"You look just like her. Goodness."
You just need to say these sentences at appropriate times.
I do not follow you at all.
You know,
it is embarrassing to bring some things up yourself...
and you want other people to bring it up on your behalf.
You know what I mean?
All you need to do is just play along.
You are a woman too. How could you not get that?
My goodness. Unbelievable.
What? I am not done yet.
Wait, wait. Before you go, can you help me with this?
Gosh.
There are some places...
you must not take your clothes off at.
What is wrong with here?
You should change on your own after unwrapping your bandages.
I cannot help you with that.
Ma'am.
What is it?
I cannot sleep without a pillow.
Do you not think you are being too harsh?
I am in need of your help.
You surely require a lot of help from me.
I hate this kind of stuff.
You ought to take care of yourself.
Okay.
This is it. I will not ask any more help from you.
What am I doing?
Forget about befriending her.
I will be her enemy at this rate.
"My goodness, really? No way."
I cannot believe it.
You startled me.
What are you doing?
You again.
It is itchy because I cannot change my clothes.
Not there.
What did you say?
To the side...
Speak louder.
Gosh. Well, move to the right more.
Scratch it harder.
Yes, that is it.
That is the spot.
A bit more to the right. A bit more.
Move down a bit. Just a bit.
Yes, that hits the spot.
Go down a bit.
That feels nice. Gosh, it is nice.
Go down a bit more.
Why did she stop in the middle of it?
Oh, it hurts.
Oh, right. She got burnt too.
That must hurt.
Ma'am.
Right. She must be tired too.
Goodness!
This is an unpardonable act!
How dare you do something only thugs would do?
Are you not scared to face the deity?
I was just trying to...
You got burnt too.
So I was going to put some herbs on it.
I thought your bottom must hurt too.
My bottom? Herbs?
How could a woman...
do that to another woman?
What is this?
I cannot believe this.
This is unfair.
Why do you feel this is unfair?
"Here comes the general."
You should have said that before you played your move.
Right. I have forgotten.
Okay. This round will not count either.
Let us play again.
It is getting late.
Will you not be going back to the palace now?
The night is still young.
Do you still have problems...
going to sleep, Your Majesty?
Yes.
So I ask that at least you do not kick me out.
How could I?
Please do not say that.
When it came to janggi,
Yun Jeo was very good at it.
I begged him to give me one more chance to change my move,
but he did not even bat an eye.
He was indeed determined.
Yes, he was.
The day when Yun Jeo died...
You said...
Yun Jeo died after he had buried the baby, correct?
Yes.
He definitely did, Your Majesty.
And you...
killed Yun Jeo, correct?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Okay.
I have already heard this from you.
I am asking useless questions.
I am sure what you say is true...
and you will never deceive me.
Let us resume after a short break.
I am tired.
No matter how much I think about it,
I think the local functionary told the truth.
Look into Jung Yun Jeo's whereabouts a bit more.
Yes, Your Majesty.
"Oh, my! Are you serious? I cannot believe that!"
"My goodness, really?"
"No way..."
Wait.
My lady!
My lady.
I heard you got burnt.
- I did. - Dear me.
Take this.
Oh, it is for treating such wounds.
I fell on the mountain a few days ago.
I visited a physician and was prescribed this.
It is a salve.
I see.
Thank you.
My dear.
Why did you have to have feelings for me of all people?
Where is your burn?
Let me put that salve on you.
It is here.
No, not there!
You are so filthy-minded.
No, my lady. I am not filthy-minded.
My wounds have not yet healed!
It is best to stay away from her sight.
It is me.
What are you doing?
How were you going to wash your clothes with those hands?
Come on, they are almost all healed up.
Let me do it.
If you are not careful, you will only worsen it!
I told you to stay away from my bottom!
I told you that I am fine!
Gosh, sit on this.
If you are not careful, you will only worsen it.
You are good at washing the clothes...
for someone from a noble family.
This is the first and last time I will be helping you.
I know you are just saying that.
I bet you will help me out next time as well.
Do not be ridiculous.
If your burns worsen, it will only cause me a headache.
I am doing this reluctantly.
Gosh.
When did you visit a physician?
Physician, my foot.
I just found it.
Fine.
It is not too bad.
What do you mean?
To have someone care for you.
It makes me reminisce about the old days.
You will never be able to find someone...
who takes care of you this well.
I am pretty much like your mother.
You are right.
It seems like...
your mother must have been a very nice person.
Yes, she was.
Very much so.
How jealous.
You must have many great memories with her.
It pains me that I do.
Such memories keep popping up.
How was your mother?
My mother?
Mother.
Father will be here soon with medicine.
So please hang in there.
My son.
Yes, Mother. I am here.
I am sorry that you have to live this way.
You are such a precious son,
yet I have made you like this.
I am truly sorry about that.
What?
Listen to me carefully.
Your name is not...
Hwang Tae.
You are Jung...
Yi...
Mother.
Hwang Tae!
Come on in here!
Mother.
It is all your fault.
Had it not been for you,
my son would have...
My family would have...
Mother.
Mother!
She was a good mother.
She was pitiable, and I felt sorry for her.
Right, are you okay?
Should I apply some of this on your bottom?
My goodness.
Wait.
What is it?
Can I treat you like an older sister?
If it is okay with you, of course.
What is it? Do you not want me to?
No.
What?
Because I am not older than you.
Well...
I was born in the Year of the Ram.
Are you younger than me?
I thought she memorized...
Confucian texts in the Year of the Snake...
Year of the Snake, was it?
On that year, I mastered the "Thousand-Character Classic"...
and memorized Confucian texts.
So what?
Well, I mean...
It is not like I feel obligated...
to treat you like an older sister.
I should get going now. I am a little busy.
My gosh, what a funny lady.
I am busy too.
Have I gone nuts? What is wrong with me?
I wonder if she saw me blush.
So what if she saw me?
Why did she have to say she wanted to treat me like an older sister?
Darn it.
Ma'am.
What in the world...
The shaman over there...
is praying to the skies to console all the widows...
that had to face wrongful deaths.
Something bad could happen if you walk around like this.
Something bad? Like what?
Souls that bear deep resentment are roaming around the village.
So we must keep our doors closed...
- and turn all the lights off. - What?
You should follow me to my house.
Some widows who ignored the warning...
ended up disappearing.
So you cannot...
What? Hey!
Lady Kim!
A man?
What? What happened?
A drunkard did this to me.
My gosh, you stink.
I will get you some new clothes.
You should wash up.
You are the best.
My gosh, what are you doing?
You are dirtying my clothes too.
I want to wear my favorite one. The jade green jacket.
Just wear whatever I give you.
Gosh, that hurts.
Lady Kim.
My gosh, you startled me.
I thought a perverted jerk was peeping through the hole.
What?
I am not a perverted jerk.
What brings you here?
I thought you were busy.
Make sure you keep it quiet.
I do not want you to disturb the guests.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, I asked you why you are here.
What? Well...
I was looking for a pair of scissors.
And someone told me that I could find them in the dressing room.
Why do you need a pair of scissors?
Then you should have just come inside.
- Why did you make a hole... - Because...
- Well... - What do you want?
I wanted to cut your hair.
Why do you want to cut my hair?
It made me feel really bad...
to see you look so shabby.
Close your eyes.
Why do you want me to close my eyes?
Your hair might go inside.
My gosh, what was that for?
Why did you poke my eyes?
My gosh, that hurts.
My goodness, seriously.
- Is he... - Yes, I think he is hiding here.
Just make it look even.
You do not need to put too much thought into it.
I am cutting the hair of a precious lady.
I should put in a lot of care into it.
If you think I am so precious,
why did you pull a straight face...
when I asked you if we could be sisters?
Something is on your chin.
My gosh!
My gosh, that hurts.
Am I bleeding?
Look. My gosh.
My gosh, no!
Well...
What was that?
You do not need to look in the mirror.
You are acting odd.
Please hand me that.
No.
What? This is odd.
- Hand that to me. - No.
- I need to take a look. - No.
Give it to me.
- Just give that to me. - No.
Goodness.
No.
Gosh.
Oh, my.
(The Tale of Nokdu)
I was going to the bathroom.
I will go back inside.
How lovely.
What are you doing here?
I told you to stay here!
Stay right there. You cannot go out.
Stay by my side.
Dong Joo?
I heard that she well passed the time to have her ceremony.
She is only of age, but she has not...
You do not make the choice. I do.
Dong Joo. Dong Joo.
How much of it did you hear?
You mean how you plan to kill someone?
You heard us correctly.
