(15 years ago) (1679 Hwang-hae Province village) You hopeless fools I asked you for a poem about after the rain is gone And none of you remembered a single one? Hwangbo Yoon! Why didn't you submit one? Did you think you could just get by easily because it's your first day? A child of a mistress will never take a civil exam What use would he have for poems? Be quiet! Bring it here Woo Hoo Yong Son Jang Poong Jeon Bong Mi Yo Tell me the meaning Bamboo grows after the rain and moves as the wind blows When they are hollow with hardened roots they will reach the sky soon Do you mean to tell me that you knew this poem? Your talent is too good to be wasted Have you read the Seven Classic Books? I have read them several times and I have started to read the Book of Odes Very impressive Then we'll start studying the Book of Odes tomorrow Teacher! You've been teaching us from other texts but you're going to teach the Book of Odes to a newcomer? On top of that, he's the son of a mistress! You're being unfair You fool! When did I look at social status in teaching? If you think it's unfair, then you should leave! I should have as soon as you first accepted the child of a mistress What's that? You fool! Everyone, get up There are many schools other than this one Get off your butts! Don't you guys have any pride? How dare a country scholar like him not know who's feeding him Hey! You all know where the school in No-ru is, right? We're going there, got it? Turn back Why, that jerk Even if a father holds a government office does his son hold it too? If a government official can disregard the people, what value does he have? What? I guess the son of a gov't official learns to be rude to his teacher! How dare you?! How dare a child of a mistress like you speak to me like that? Wanna die? I'll quit attending that school This isn't the first time However, I will not stand to see a good teacher insulted because of me! Go back and apologize! Mr.

Stop this immediately! Young master Young master, are you all right? Young master! Who are you? My name is Jae-Hui She's a new servant girl Servant girl? Are you saying this little one? You're not so different from me Now see here! You have dignity so why are you being so kind to a servant girl? If the lord finds out, you'll be in trouble Dignity? What dignity is this? Get on, I won't eat you I wish I could fly Up to the sky I wish I could fly above that sky Will you not beg for forgiveness? He's a spiteful fool! The child of a mistress is half noble blood How did you raise him? If you cannot raise even one child properly how can you call yourself a magistrate overlooking thousands of people?! The grace of a king, teacher, and father are the same Is it just for a son of a nobleman to ridicule his teacher? You scoundrel! How dare you have the gall! Are you trying to teach me? You fool! Sir! A punishment cannot be administered personally Even before I'm his father, I am sitting here as a government official! Allow me to handle this matter Let's just wait and see! Take him to his room I told you to go to the laundry place What are you doing here?! Hurry and go! Yoon Please stop it now I don't have the strength to face the lord again Mother Instead you and me should go somewhere far away, OK? Mother Why did you give birth to me? Why? Why did you go into the kitchen? Tell me this minute! What is the matter this late at night? Well, it's just that I was sleeping but when I awoke, I didn't see this girl So I went out and what do you know, the kitchen door was open Girl, did you steal something to eat? Won't you fess up?! Tell me the truth this instant! Hurry up! Well, I knew it! You wench! Stealing food as soon as you get here! Stop it! How hungry must she have been to sneak into the kitchen at night? Are you feeding her meals properly? See here! How hungry must the little one have been to do that? Have sympathy and let her go to sleep Listen, you! If you do that one more time, I'm going to lock you up in storage! Let's go! I heard she was the daughter of a nobleman but in just one day, she became a servant girl How will she survive? This is honey water My goodness Then that child What is your dream? What would I do if I had a dream? You fool How can you complain about your social status without having a dream? Tell me What's your dream? I want to become strong I want to destroy anything blocking my path So is using your fists and acting like a gangster Is that your dream? My lord, what can someone like me do? Look at my status before you ask such a question Do you know why I leave my wife and children in my house at Han-yang and take you to every post I'm assigned to? Although one may be suppressed by the law at the right point, one can become useful But you You're wrong Do you know what it means to be strong? Even if mountains and oceans stand in your way you stake your life and strive for your dream Pack your bags You really have no fortune at all to meet an old geezer like me I'm too old Go back down and find a good teacher I want to become strong You want to become strong What will you do when you are strong? I do not know yet But I want to master myself Master yourself? Then show me your determination The monk Hyae-Ka from China cut off his arm to show the great priest how determined he was Cut off one of your fingers What? Not feeling up to it? You came all the way up here without even that much determination?! It will be a rough journey Before you unpack, bow to Buddha 10,000 times 3121 3122 What did you feel? My body was so small and weak Is a human body Is my body something so feeble, monk? Although one may be suppressed by the law at the right time, one can become useful But you You're wrong Do you know what it means to be strong? Even if mountains and oceans stand in your way you stake your life and strive for your dream Pick it up again Hurry If this were a real sword you wouldn't have been able to pick that up again This kind of sword wasn't originally mine His name is Yoon So he is the last student of Seung-Goon-Do-Chong-Seob He is very remarkable If you retain him, he will become useful More than that He will become a pillar for our nation But he cannot take the military service exam That is why I asked you to come personally, my lord Are you saying that he is a commoner? Do not worry I will write him recommendations I have come to ask about my lord's health Why did you not call me until you were this ill? Illness comes as frequently as a visitor Why call you? My lord So Have you become strong like you wished? I realized that I am hopelessly weak and feeble Since you know that you won't get any worse now Did you say Chief Joh Seh-Ook? Yes He is a general with little greed and personal ambition Serve him well I will do my best There's a saying, "Heaven no life, purposeless person" It means that heaven does not create useless people You too will find your purpose somewhere I have a request Say it I would like to take the child, Jae-Hui, as a tea servant for the Left Police Bureau Yoon That child isn't just a servant girl She's the blood of the respected library director, Jang Il-Soon Since he was accused of treason, many eyes will be watching you But you said that though one is suppressed by the law, one is useful Take her But I'm just allowing it because it is a public affair If this is because you have feelings for her she will be an obstacle for your future And you will also be dishonoring your father I will take that to heart my lord Yoon Yes Call me father for once My lord, how could you when the law This boy has already stepped over the line of the law Call me father Come on Father Again Father Good Even a bundle of grass has stories and destinies Think twice before you take out your sword Yes Many people still remember what happened several years ago Throw away the name, Jae-Hui And from now on, call her, Chae-Ohk Chae-Ohk?
