ALL CHARACTERS AND EVENTS
ARE FICTITIOUS
FILMING OF CHILD ACTORS DONE
UNDER BROADCASTING GUIDELINES
Now, all you pupae will swiftly
get changed and gather in the front yard.
Where do we…
- Hold on.
- I need to change.
- Wait.
- Hurry up.
SALT, BEEF, PORK
Have we begun accepting apprentices?
A total of 30 Red Certificates were issued
for the selection
of Gyohwa Hall male apprentices,
but two failed to make it.
That is why we will be welcoming
28 apprentices today.
Young Master Jun-hwa and Prince Muyeong
will be training together.
What a weird coincidence.
Jun-hwa had to learn
how to handle the royal family anyway.
So it is for the best.
He has never been
interested in Yongcheonru,
but it is time for him to learn.
It was I who had the current king crowned.
It should be Jun-hwa
who crowns the next one.
Then, are you considering Prince Muyeong
as the next crown prince
to ascend the throne?
That depends on Jun-hwa.
The good-hearted and wise Jun-hwa
will not disappoint you.
Good-hearted, you say?
You must not know
how being good-hearted makes one weak.
Money has no eyes.
Nor does it have ears or a mouth.
It does not even have friends.
One's social class is irrelevant
in the face of money.
Even the king
who exists above everyone else
is rendered useless
in matters involving money.
You know that better than anyone.
- Do not do this here!
- Let go.
That is my uniform.
Why, you…
Look, that is my uniform.
Let go of me.
If you are to interfere,
take off your clothes first.
- What?
- What are you scoundrels doing?
Demerit points for all you scoundrels!
I apologize, Lady Seol.
You have your work cut out for you.
Lady Seol…
I have been wanting to meet you.
I have always wanted
to meet you, Lady Seol.
What… What on earth are you doing?
To Lady Seol? How dare you.
My greatest apologies.
They still have a lot to learn.
I have high hopes
for this class of apprentices.
Teach them well.
Of course. I will not disappoint you.
I will dismiss stupid pupae like these
and select only bright ones…
Oh, dear… I am doomed.
Line up!
I can already sense it.
You four have no chance of making it.
Demerits for all you four!
State your number one by one.
But, Master,
I am a victim in all of this.
He came at me first.
I also find it unfair.
I was only late
because he had taken my clothes.
Goodness. No wonder
they were so uncomfortable.
I apologize.
What about you? What is your excuse?
My number…
- is 28.
- Did you just cuss?
Why, you…
Number 28. Fine.
Order! You imbeciles.
Get in line in the back!
Yes, Master.
Get going.
Make haste!
Unbelievable. Anyway, I congratulate you
on your admissions.
However, not everyone
who trains at Gyohwa Hall will pass.
I do not know if all will make it…
- Move it.
- …but I wish… You damn imbeciles!
Focus!
What you must keep in mind
from here on out is silence!
The second you make a sound
even if it is a whisper,
you will receive a demerit.
Even if you trip and fall, do not scream.
Just keep your mouth shut.
Should you choke on your food,
do not cough.
Press down on your throat!
Do not even think about sighing
while relieving yourself!
Keep your mouth shut.
Now answer this.
"Come hither. Is anyone here?"
One of the guests is calling you.
What should you do?
Pardon?
"Yes?"
Incorrect. Your number?
I am number 29.
Number 29. You receive a demerit.
- However…
- Hush. Silence!
DEMERITS
Why would you attend to guests?
Do not even make eye contact!
Remember this. Silence!
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Master!
Demerits for those who peeped.
State your numbers.
- I am number 19.
- Number 19.
- I am number 22.
- Number 22.
DEMERITS
All right. Today, you will be given a tour
of the great Yongcheonru.
YONGCHEONRU
The basis of Yongcheonru, which matches
the size of His Majesty's palace,
is our premium service.
And it all begins at Chinyeongrae
which means the place
to welcome and serve.
Chinyeongrae is the face of Yongcheonru.
We must make a great first impression
with our warm welcome.
CHINYEONGRAE
YEONHWA HALL
And this is Yeonhwa Hall.
What is that?
At Yeonhwa Hall,
we provide the best food in Joseon
to guests who visit for refreshments
as well as those who stay at the inn.
- No way.
- That smell!
I am hungry now.
Is that pork or beef? How fascinating.
YEONHWA HALL
YEHWA HALL
Next, we are here in Yehwa Hall.
Yehwa Hall sees people
from all across the country
who are to be wed in Yongcheonru.
The groom and bride will bow.
YEHWA HALL, CHINYEONGRAE
YEONHWA HALL, DOHWA HALL
You are now in Dohwa Hall.
It is the place
that will transform anyone into
Joseon's greatest beauty Park Chun-hui.
And here.
This is Gyohwa Hall
where you are currently at.
Here are Sedab Hall, Jeongju Hall,
the quarters for clerks,
the study for department directors, and--
Then, where does the innkeeper stay?
As if that must be known
by a mere apprentice!
- That deserves a demerit.
- Pardon?
State your number.
Your number!
It is number 30.
Number 30.
Listen carefully.
You are not to go anywhere
without my permission. Do you hear me?
- Yes, Master.
- Yes, Master.
Next, I will present the rooms and suites
at Yongcheonru.
The standard rooms we have at Yongcheonru
are in Hongui Chamber.
HONGUI CHAMBER
It is usually occupied for a night
by travelers on long journeys.
HONGUI CHAMBER
Rooms of a class higher
than those of Hongui Chamber
are in Cheongui Chamber.
Normally, they are occupied by merchants
who engage in trades during their stay.
Then there are the premium suites
of Geumui Chamber.
They are the best rooms
Yongcheonru has to offer.
Considering its price,
it is not a room for just anyone.
In Geumui Chamber, whatever a guest wants,
the guest gets.
Should the guest request it,
they may even be made king.
Did you just speak of treason?
How dare you call anyone the king?
Do you all wish to die?
Treason is punished by annihilating
three generations of one's family.
Before anyone's family is annihilated,
you will lose your head first.
Keep at it.
You are making my day.
What?
- What was that?
- What is he going on about?
Just sit, will you?
Unbelievable.
- He is impossible.
- Let us steer clear of him.
You imbecile!
I called the guest a king of
Geumui Chamber, not the palace.
I warn you not to speak
of His Majesty in such a way!
He sure is a weird one.
I am staying clear of him.
It should not
be carelessly mentioned, Master.
Damn you, Number 28.
A demerit it is for you.
Was I wrong to speak up? How is that…
That was…
a thoughtless remark, Master.
A demerit will not do with you.
Did you talk down to me?
Did you?
Why not refer to me as your subject?
Goodness, Master.
How about we take a break?
Should we? We have been at it for a while.
Sure. That is it for today.
Head to your quarters.
- Yes, Master.
- Yes, Master.
- Sang-u.
- Yes?
One, two, three, up.
MAP OF GYOHWA HALL QUARTERS
ADVANCED
We are advanced!
LOW-INTERMEDIATE
TWENTY-NINE
GYOHWA HALL ROOM PLACEMEN
This is ludicrous.
Why was I placed in Elementary?
ELEMENTARY
27, 28, 29, 30
Darn it. I have to share a room with him?
I cannot believe I am to share a room
with the lowliest.
LOW-INTERMEDIATE,
LOW, ELEMENTARY
Myeong-ho, we have been placed in Expert.
Elementary?
We are experts.
This seems like fate.
Anyway, let us enter for now.
We have number tags to sew on.
Let us head inside.
Move.
Goodness me.
Come on.
- This is absurd.
- Not really.
Off we go.
ELEMENTARY
Yes, there we go.
That is it.
Sorry about that.
It is my first time
being in a room this small.
Although, this will bring us closer.
Since we have been placed together,
let us at least learn each other's names.
I am Cheon Jun-hwa.
This is not as easy as it looks.
I asked for your name.
All done.
No way. Are you done already?
Yes, you, Number 29. What is your name?
We have been placed in the same boat
and might as well
weather the storm together.
I, Ko Su-ra,
do not intend to share a boat with you.
I am Hong Deok-su,
and sharing a boat with you
is the last thing I want.
Fine!
My name is Lee Eun…
It is Lee Eun-ho.
- Lee Eun-ho?
- Yes.
Fighting before the first class
and talking back to our instructor
in class.
- I am innocent.
- Taking others' clothes.
I will elevate my status here
and break free from you three.
I will not flunk out.
What… Why are you so angry?
Goodness. Our friend has a temper.
All right.
Let us go and wash up too.
No.
What?
I mean, I am fine.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
A public washing area out in the open?
That sounds like fun.
- I will head there first.
- Go ahead.
All right. Oh, goodness.
You.
Lee Eun-ho, was it?
Watch yourself.
I am keeping my eyes on you.
How dare you? Such insolence!
Such insolence?
How insolent was I?
Why, you little…
What are you looking at?
Tiny Eyes.
TWENTY-EIGH
As if this matters.
This feels nice.
Gosh, that feels good.
- Give it here.
- Thanks.
- Sorry about that.
- What was that?
BATHING ROOM
- There you go.
- That is cold.
One more.
Of course.
Here you go.
All right.
I, Innkeeper Seol Mae-hwa,
formally greet you.
Why are you here in Lord Cheon's stead?
My apologies.
I am afraid his knee was hurting
and he is seeing a physician.
Or maybe it is an excuse
to avoid showing us his face.
His face must be of dear value,
seeing how I have never gotten to see it.
He would not dare to do that
to the Minister of War.
What?
To express his apology for being absent,
he had these ordered himself.
Bring them in.
They are ginseng grown in Punggi
that were delivered to the palace.
Is this ginseng from Punggi
that only His Majesty consumes?
Come on. Someone more worthy of it
than His Majesty himself is here.
Even the king's royal meal
could be served.
- Do you not agree?
- Of course we do. Absolutely.
Out of all
that were delivered to the palace,
we set aside those of the highest quality.
Of course. Look at how marvelous it looks.
Take a look.
It resembles you in the way
that it has the regalness of a monarch.
Drinking this 30-year-old
wild ginseng wine
is said to cure all illness
and promise longevity.
Of course. Go ahead and pour him a glass.
Wild ginseng wine?
Here. Let us empty our glasses.
- Yes, my lord.
- Yes, my lord.
Now, pour me a glass as well.
Goodness me. You are one fair lady.
Rather than running an inn,
you should be managing
a courtesan house instead. Here.
What is the matter?
This wine
is a masterpiece only meant
for the kingpin of this nation.
Are you gunning for that role?
The kingpin…
of this nation?
One cannot mask his lowly origins.
Relay my words.
Tell him that I know
he intercepted the gold bars
meant for me.
The wine dances on my tongue.
Then, where does the innkeeper stay?
FULL MAP OF YONGCHEONRU
- I saw the brass key.
- Pardon?
Have you already searched
Lord Cheon's room?
That is what puzzles me.
It was not Lord Cheon.
Someone else had it.
Someone else?
- Did you bring the drawing of the key?
- Yes.
What is this?
I must check once more.
Allow me to also stay here in disguise.
There is a more pressing matter.
Of course. Your wish is my command.
TWENTY-EIGH
YEONHWA HALL
Who goes there?
LADIES ONLY
MEN NOT ALLOWED
I smell sweaty.
They will question me if I do not wash up.
That feels nice.
I am exhausted.
Me too. Let us hurry back with the water.
I heard we had a new batch of apprentices.
Would any of them sneak into
the girls' dorms?
I doubt it.
It results in immediate expulsion.
- Quiet.
- Really?
Stay still, will you?
You are one to talk.
You startled me.
Stop that. Hold it in.
Stop.
If you sneeze, we will both be expelled.
Hold it in.
Hey.
What is this?
- Shall we head back?
- Sure.
They are gone!
What the…
You are the loudest one here.
How dare you insult me?
I was only there to wash up.
I did not climb over the wall
for another reason.
Did I even ask?
What about you?
Why did you climb over the wall
into the yard of the girls' dorms?
Because I saw you climb over it.
Why, you…
Anyway, it is a fact
that we both climbed over the wall,
so we will keep it a secret
to save ourselves from expulsion.
Not me.
I only did it to stop you.
Seriously. Why are you on my case?
What is it?
Could there be something you are hiding?
Hong Deok-su. You cannot get expelled yet.
Are you voicing your concern for me?
As if.
I am telling you to behave.
ELEMENTARY
There is a shadow ledger.
The brass key.
That is the only key
to the safe which holds the shadow ledger.
Those two pieces must come together
to open the safe.
It cannot be opened by one alone.
That despicable Cheon has hidden
one of them somewhere in Yongcheonru
and is looking for the other.
Who on earth could he be?
You just need to show me once.
It will be quick.
What is this? Have you lost your mind?
I just need a moment.
Even if you do not get fired,
just make sure you do not get exposed.
No one can know you are Hong Jae-on
or that you are a girl.
Do you understand?
Be more careful.
Watch yourself, Deok-su.
What is that over there?
Is he dead?
It seems like it.
A man is dead!
There has been a murder.
A man is dead!
That is delicious.
- I cannot believe this.
- Look.
Let me try this.
Come here and try this.
Finally. That sorted me right out.
Eun-ho, why are you picking at your food?
A true man should easily empty his bowl.
Hong Deok-su, you…
You are a true macho man.
Of course I am.
Keep eating.
Damn, that is hot.
It is nice to be of expert status
since the room is spacious
as well as the bathroom.
I am having a hard time telling
if I am here to rest or to be trained.
Do you not agree, Myeong-ho?
Du-sik, Seok-sam.
All of that is a privilege
that is reserved for those of Uiju Guild.
Got it?
How did the lowliest of people
manage to secure a spot here?
Talk about muddying the water.
All they could secure
by selling their land
were numbers 27, 28, and 29,
which are absolutely useless.
Our numbers?
This was the number my family got me.
That number is equivalent
to the rank of your family's status.
In other words, your families
are among the lowliest.
Did you think
all Red Certificates were the same?
Actually, there are different statuses.
Our numbers say we are
of the highest status
while yours say you are below the lowest.
It was set in stone
right from the beginning.
Wait, were we not placed in Elementary
due to our demerits?
I guess I was given the wrong number.
All this yapping about mere numbers.
Bring it if you can.
Like men.
Myeong-ho!
All three department heads
will meet the apprentices today.
Is that so?
That is great news.
Eat up, boys.
Come on.
- Sit.
- Damn it.
- Lord Cho.
- Yes?
- How about I tell you a secret?
- A secret?
Among the apprentices
we will be meeting today,
there is one of special status.
One of special status?
The one to inherit Yongcheonru.
The only son of Lord Cheon
who was sent to Qing to study as a child.
You.
Watch that mouth of yours.
All I want to see are sturdy young men
who can pull their weight.
From what I hear,
he seems regal from head to toe.
He will be mine to keep.
Hurry!
Lord Jang.
What on earth?
Lord Jang, this is not the time for that
since the apprentices are waiting.
Did you develop something new?
Look, inhaling any more of that
will have you burst like a bubble.
Seung-ryang, take a whiff of this.
- It is so good.
- Really?
- Is it good?
- Go ahead.
Is it not the best?
Cut the crap. We need to leave.
Is it not good? Is it just me?
- Come on.
- Take a whiff.
How was it?
I hear you. Goodness.
Attention!
Today, you will learn about
the three departments of Yongcheonru.
They are directors
of those three departments. Applaud.
First, let me introduce the one
in charge of all the food here.
The head of the Department of Food.
I am sure you all know what golden ice is.
I am the one who invented that.
At the Department of Food,
you will get to see
the most fascinating food and ingredients.
Let me see.
Survive your training first.
Applaud!
Next is the Department of Management.
The name is Cho Seung-ryang.
My department is responsible
for the security of Yongcheonru
and the management of its supplies.
Due to the nature of our work,
fitness is required.
Us.
Sit back down.
- He is a true macho man.
- What the hell?
Only a true man can work
at the Department of Management.
Applaud!
Lastly, this is Director Yu Su-in
of the Department of Hospitality.
The Department of Hospitality
is the face of Yongcheonru.
We are at the front of the inn
welcoming party and overnight guests.
To join the Department of Hospitality…
you must have the looks for it
and be refined.
I have a question.
Is Yeonhwa Hall
under your department's purview?
That is correct.
But, Number 30,
why are you showing interest?
Everyone, applaud!
What? A Red Certificate was stolen?
Please capture the one
who killed my son Man-dol, my lord!
Why did your son have
Yongcheonru's Red Certificate on him?
He was only keeping it safe for someone.
The one who stole that Red Certificate
must be the killer!
My boy.
Lord Cheon, it is Seol Mae-hwa.
KIM BO-HYEON
What is this about?
The police bureau sent someone.
A Red Certificate of ours was involved
in a murder in Seochon.
Half of a certificate was found
next to a dead body.
And where is the other half?
It seems like
someone must have forged
the stolen Red Certificate
to join Gyohwa Hall.
My lord?
Yongcheonru's Red Certificate
lives up to its name.
Then find the killer
and hand him over to the police bureau.
One desired Yongcheonru so much
that he killed for a spot?
Preach it louder.
I will execute your command.
What should I do
with the Minister of War's gold?
It is still not the right time.
Be patient.
Goodness gracious.
Look at the colors of this silk.
They are beautiful, Mother.
It sure is a treat to have you here
since we can pick out this silk together.
Goodness. Is that
our precious Prince Seonyang?
Your grandfather missed you so much
that he almost came down with
a terrible illness.
Father, you are home.
My gosh. Your Highness,
you are the queen of this nation.
And Prince Seonyang will soon
be appointed as crown prince.
Why would you bow down to me?
Assert your authority, Your Highness.
Yes, Father.
When in the world
will the appointment take place?
I will die of old age at this rate.
Unbelievable.
That is inappropriate to say
in front of Prince Seonyang.
Be mindful of your status.
I am not wrong though, am I?
Maybe you can rally up the ministers
and make a formal request.
The crown prince position
has been vacant for years.
She married His Majesty
in his latter years
but gave him a sweet prince nevertheless.
Should they be left
on the back burner like this?
Mother, I do not mind.
Well, I do.
Until my grandson, Prince Seonyang,
ascends the throne,
we will never be all right.
Do you understand?
Until then, have him
receive proper education
about the role of a crown prince.
I will take that to heart, Father.
Are things quiet at the palace?
I heard Prince Muyeong went to recuperate
far away in Onyang.
Is that true?
Yes, Father. I saw him leave the palace.
Why would you even worry
about Prince Muyeong anyway?
Unbelievable.
We must keep Prince Muyeong in check
in order for Prince Seonyang
to become the next crown prince.
A basic skill a clerk of Yongcheonru
must be trained in, is the bow.
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
Keep your back flat
and lift up your chin. Your chin.
Both hands should be neatly gathered
on your belly button.
You fool.
Legs must be shoulder-width apart.
One.
Is that the lowest a true man can bow?
I am bowing down enough.
"I am bowing down enough."
The difference lies
in what cannot be seen.
Straighten those legs.
You should never frown.
Always look calm.
Two.
Demerit for you!
Here is your final task for the day.
The Yongcheonru Clerkship Chronicles.
The grand history of Yongcheonru
is written in detail.
Memorize it all.
- Down to the last word.
- What?
It is killing me. I cannot do it anymore.
Goodness. That is some fine handwriting.
I guess you owe it
to your fine, delicate hands.
This is how a true man studies.
I will eat and swallow every word I learn.
This is one thick book.
When will one memorize it all?
So tell me. Which guild are you from?
Namhae Guild.
Hence the number!
Did it not shut down?
You have no chance of making it,
so rest rather than trying so hard.
Do not concern yourself
with his gibberish.
It is his fault
for being born into such a family.
What? It is my fault
for being born into my family?
Then which family must one be born into
for one not to be at fault?
The one that owns Yongcheonru?
At least not one of your families.
Expert apprentices.
If you consider yourselves superior,
why not indulge in a wager with us?
Do not do that for my sake.
Count me in.
That sounds like fun.
Hong Deok-su, you too.
Be a true man.
Of course!
A true man never backs down
from a challenge.
Tonight, we will wager our rooms
on a game of dice-rolling.
What?
The winners will take
the rooms for expert apprentices.
Hey.
You must think
we at Uiju Guild are morons.
Even if you lose, you will lose nothing
while we gain nothing.
- Exactly.
- Right.
Absolutely.
The elementary apprentices
- will leave Gyohwa Hall.
- Hey.
- What?
- Nice.
You said a true man never backs down.
Hong Deok-su, I will be with you on this.
But I cannot afford to leave this place.
Fine. I will join you
as a true man should.
Are you too scared to accept the wager?
Fine, bring it on.
I will have it so that you are
all dismissed from Gyohwa Hall.
Damn it.
Hong Deok-su.
The game is tonight. We must win.
- Come on.
- After you, Myeong-ho.
How do you win at this game?
Having the lowest number
or the highest number?
Come on.
Are you telling me
you have never played dice before?
- Yes.
- Dice?
First…
For now, just learn how to roll the dice.
I will make sure we win no matter what.
No matter what? Are you going to cheat?
Do not fret.
Hong Deok-su here
will guarantee our victory.
Am I right?
Yes, of course!
Trust this young man,
that is Hong Deok-su!
All right, fine.
Just explain the game to us.
How does one roll these?
Like this?
Here.
As you can see, a die has six sides.
Look. Each side has dots on them.
Right.
You roll a pair of them,
and the one with the larger number wins.
However,
roll a matching pair,
and you will win no matter
how big your opponent's number is.
What if we both roll pairs?
The one with the highest number will win.
Normally, only one round is played,
but we must win
three out of five rounds tonight.
Is it even possible
to roll a matching pair?
Give me a number, and I will show you.
A pair of fives.
A pair of fives. That is easy.
Let me see. A pair of fives.
See?
Where did you learn such tricks?
I have not seen such a skill before,
even in Qing.
Stop it.
Could you be a hustler?
Come on. Of course not.
This is just…
This is just a trick I learned
from someone I knew as a boy.
All right. Now, try it yourselves.
A picture is worth
a thousand words, right?
Who will try it?
- Me!
- Me!
- Me!
- I will go first.
Sure. Go ahead.
- Why, you…
- Give me that.
What is up with you two? Take turns.
Would I not be better at this?
Give it a try.
All right. Go!
But that was not a pair of fives.
Like this.
- One rolled off.
- I would like to try.
- But it is my turn.
- Right.
- Let me.
- Sure, let him.
Get rid of that beef jerky.
Show respect at the table. Go ahead.
Look at you being a clown.
Try again. Go on. Again.
Again!
Are you kidding me?
It is late in the night, so hurry.
Would it kill you
to announce yourself first?
What is it? Are you worried
I might kill you without a warning?
You and your dreadful remarks.
How will you authenticate
the Red Certificates?
Every year, the process was done
by me alone, Lady Seol.
It is not like I need any help.
I know that,
but there is an issue this year.
What issue is it
that you came here in person?
- A murder.
- My goodness!
A man was killed for his Red Certificate.
The police bureau ordered
the arrest of the killer.
The police bureau?
If one of the Red Certificates
is a forgery…
We will have found the killer.
EXPER
Come on.
Regardless of our numbers
and our families,
we will compete fair and square.
Cheating…
will not be tolerated.
Do you hear me?
For some reason, you address us
like we are beneath you,
which is quite annoying.
If you lose, you will
hand over your rooms without complaining.
Fine.
Should you four lose, you will voluntarily
leave Gyohwa Hall. Are we clear?
One more thing.
Apologize to Su-ra.
Nicely said, Deok-su.
Those are the words of a true man.
Hey. Save the cheekiness
for after you win.
I see you are all talk.
Once the table is set,
speak only through these rune stones.
Now…
who will go first?
I played my fair share of dice
back in the day.
We will swap our dice.
Who are you trying to fool?
Number 29. Number 30.
I have been looking at them closely,
but none of them look like a forgery.
Lord Jang, is there a way
to determine which was forged?
Lady Seol, are you displaying
your distrust in my abilities?
These Red Certificates
that I personally made?
The secret does not lie in the paper
but the ink.
The ink?
I added honey to it.
Honey?
You mixed honey with the ink? So?
Are you going to lick every certificate?
- No, not me.
- What is that?
They will find the forgery for us.
Goodness gracious!
Get to work, little ones.
There you go. Right there.
Yes. Keep going.
Look at them eat. That one too.
That is it. Good job, boys.
- There you go.
- Hold on.
Enjoy.
That is it.
Do not fret. It is all right.
It is fine. We are still winning.
Do well.
That was not too bad.
The game is not over yet. Go ahead.
We are tied!
If you roll a matching pair,
that will lead us to victory!
There is no way he would
also roll a matching pair.
No way.
Hold it!
What is it?
Are you now lacking the confidence?
There are no backsies at a gambling table.
Take off that shirt of yours.
Something is not right.
Maybe you have something hidden
under there.
What the…
Lee Eun-ho, is this absolutely necessary?
Look at that.
I admit that is a sight.
Take off your shirt and roll the dice.
Why should they strip?
Do not mind him, and keep it on.
You are grasping at straws
now that you are cornered.
Fine. I will strip.
Let us all strip.
It will not be pure dice-rolling
if I keep my clothes on.
- Let us strip!
- No, it is fine.
- Yes, let us strip.
- No.
- Hold on.
- Strip!
No, stop that.
- Stop it.
- Strip, boys!
Let us bare it all.
- That is not necessary.
- Strip.
All right. Here I go.
- Go, Myeong-ho!
- Go, Myeong-ho!
- Myeong-ho!
- Myeong-ho!
He rolled two threes!
Yes!
Do not make a big fuss.
All right. Bring it!
It is your turn.
Why are you not stripping?
Remove your shirt already.
Why, you…
I found the culprit!
It is…
He is the killer.
THIRTY
You need to roll the dice.
Why are you hesitating? That is not manly.
Take it off and roll them fair and square.
It is not like you are
hiding something under there.
Let go! Damn it.
If you are chickening out,
stop and beg for our mercy.
Or maybe
you would all like to leave Gyohwa Hall.
What? Leave the training program?
You. Just roll them.
- Strip and roll the dice.
- I cannot.
Calm down, boys.
Things are getting interesting here.
Remove your shirt and roll the dice.
Grab him!
What the… How dare you?
Grab him.
Get back here.
What is the meaning of this?

Number 30.
Hong Deok-su.
Find it.
12 YEARS AGO
Now, pick one.
This one…
No, wait.
Your daughter
picks this one.
This one?
- There.
- What? I got it wrong.
- Were you only looking for the ring?
- Yes, Father.
Finding the jade ring
is not the only way to happiness.
One of them…
had a flower under it.
And one of them hid the jade ring.
They were all yours
no matter what you chose.
- Really?
- Of course.
Just remember to be content
with whatever you get.
Still, the joy cannot be greater
than that of winning the better prize.
Did you lose the wager yet again?
Why are you invested in the game
when you always lose?
I will someday win at this game.
Your stubbornness is equal
to that of my master's.
Do you wish to beat your father that much?
Yes.
Should I teach you how?
Really? Yes, please teach me.
Why, Seol Mae-hwa,
are you willing to pass on your talents?
To make a wager
that will guarantee your victory,
switch to a game you are better at.
Like this?
Yes.
I found the Red Certificate forger.
A young man named Hong Deok-su.
Hong Deok-su…
You are after Lord Cheon's position?
No, that of Lady Seol's.
Lady Seol, is this also not
how you do business?
Number 30, Hong Deok-su…
A sword with a dragon engraving
was found at the murder scene.
One belonging to the royal family?
Should the Minister of War
get his hands on the sword,
there is no telling what he will do.
Who are you really?
Your speech is unlike the rest.
It will put you two in a fix
if someone finds out.
You are being more suspicious
if you ask me.
Do you think you are
a royal prince or something?
As ordered by Lady Seol,
you will be evaluated in groups
which consist of your roommates.
I will get rid of
every elementary apprentice.
A mistake or error by one of you
will result
in the expulsion of your roommates.
Is this what they mean
- by being in the same boat?
- Absolutely.
My friend, you should not be that obvious.
Do you like Deok-su?
