ALL CHARACTERS AND EVENTS
ARE FICTITIOUS
FILMING OF CHILD ACTORS DONE
UNDER BROADCASTING GUIDELINES
All my memories with my father…
are at this place.
Including the memories…
of that day, 12 years ago.
Have you been…
living as a man since then?
I had to
survive somehow.
Shell game?
Here we go.
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.
Just remember to be content
with whatever you get.
There.
Happiness.
You will find your happiness
under whichever cup you choose.
Happiness?
Yes.
It is what my father
always used to tell me.
I thought coming here…
would be quite hard on me.
I was afraid.
I have some happy memories…
but I also have painful ones.
I am glad you are here with me.
It will be over once we find the safe.
You are right.
It will all be over soon.
Right.
Then shall we start
with the reception quarters?
I guess it is not here.
Maybe I was wrong?
Here.
Take your time and think.
Your father must have hidden
some sort of message.
Maybe I should ask Lady Seol?
Lady Seol Mae-hwa?
Yes. She was my father's only mentee.
There is someone precious to me
that I must protect.
Look into the incident from 12 years ago
involving the brass key.
What are you thinking about?
Let us return for tonight.
Drinking alone without any food?
Ko Su-ra, my friend.
"Friend"?
Cheon Jun-hwa is my son.
Will you assist him by his side?
Do you not need money?
Desperately?
Jun-hwa…
Is this because of Deok-su?
I said you should be
ready for a rejection.
Rejection?
I should just make it impossible
for her to turn me down.
Jun-hwa.
I was first.
I saw…
I saw her first.
I will not let him steal her from me.
I will stay on guard.
You can relax and wash up.
Okay.
Thank you, Eun-ho. I will be quick.
It is not like I did all the work.
I hope I was not too stinky.
Snap out of it!
The Master said to not look
at the improper. Do not listen to it.
Do not speak of it.
Do not act on it.
If it is against propriety,
do not look or listen to it.
The wise will not be confused,
and the benevolent will not be sorrowful.
The wise will not be tempted…
Remember what the Master said.
Maintain decorum.
I will also go wash up.
Let me. You should rest.
No, I will do it.
- Just let me do it.
- No.
Okay.
I see you are quite strong, Deok-su.
Yes…
I am the manly Hong Deok-su.
But you are not…
Right.
This is my first time.
Maybe because I always lived as a man?
I find these feelings…
strange.
Having someone in my heart…
and my heart fluttering.
I feel the same.
Eun-ho.
My friend Gu-sil told me
that if your heart flutters
and it feels tickled,
it is love.
Did you feel that too?
Did your heart flutter?
Did it feel tickled?
It was painful.
My heart did not flutter…
or feel tickled.
Every time I saw you…
it was painful…
and agonizing.
I thought you were a man.
I had to deny my heart…
but I could not.
I am sorry. That was…
It is all right.
Whether you are Hong Deok-su
or Hong Jae-on…
Whoever you are…
you are…
the only one I will hold in my heart.
Likewise.
I have never lived as a woman before,
so it will be hard
and I will fall short sometimes…
but I will still try my best, Eun-ho.
Likewise.
I promise you.
I will protect you…
no matter what.
You can rest easy now, Hong Deok-su.
I will stand guard through the night.
Do not worry and sleep.
I do not want to sleep.
I do not want this day to end.
What? Hong Deok-su.
What are you doing?
You should stop while I still ask nicely.
Deok-su, I am not…
ready for that yet.
Look at you sleeping so soundly.
Oblivious to my state.
After all this is over…
I should be able to tell you everything.
I, Prince Muyeong,
shall be the next crown prince.
What?
Following my father's footsteps,
I will rectify the nation and royal court.
I order you to fall in line
as a loyal subject.
The pumpkin fritters are
exceptionally good today.
Here.
What?
They are my favorite.
Then, you…
should have this. Meat.
- Tasty?
- You gave it to me, so of course.
Really? Then, eat it all.
What is the matter? Are you choking?
Water. Drink some water.
- Are you all right?
- Yes.
Eat up.
Where did you two go last night?
What? Yesterday?
You were not in your room last night.
Our room became a bit too hot,
so we went for a walk to cool off.
That is right.
I see.
I have lost my appetite.
Jun-hwa, you should still eat something.
I will go with him.
I brought you some sikhye.
Is your stomach okay?
Why did you drink so much?
I met with Lord Cheon yesterday.
I did not realize
how much you take after your father.
I heard that you are his only son
and the sole heir to Yongcheonru.
Su-ra.
I am friends
with the future grand proprietor.
I am lucky.
I am sorry.
I should have told you sooner.
I understand.
You were distracted by Deok-su.
What business did my father
have with you?
We are about to lose
our guild to creditors.
Your father offered to pay off the debt.
You should have told me about that first.
I will stand by your side and support you
until you become the grand proprietor.
But I will still continue to speak up.
I would appreciate that.
We will have a lot to do from now on.
Eun-ho.
Maybe we should keep our distance.
What do you mean?
I mean, we cannot tell
our friends about us yet,
so we should be careful.
Because of Jun-hwa?
You knew?
Jun-hwa is…
Never mind. We are all friends.
Once we find the chest and ledger,
then we will…
have a lot to do.
Let us focus on work during the day,
and at night,
let us search for the chest together.
Okay?
And leave dangerous tasks like this to me.
Okay?
Stop it.
Eun-ho, watch out!
What are you two doing?
Is that any way
for two men to be behaving?
How obnoxious.
Well, I…
I need to go and hang those sheets.
Bye.
Sheets.
I told you I did not need help.
Hand them over. I will hang them all.
You rest in the shade.
Then, let us do it together.
Here we go.
One, two, three!
Maybe that is when it started?
I started noticing you.
You have liked me since then?
That was my second kiss.
Your second? Who was your first?
Someone who was
so beautiful
even when she was soaking wet.
Who was it?
Tell me.
How could you forget your savior?
Look at me.
That pays off my debt.
Let us go.
Lady Seol
never appeared
on the mountain pass to Uiju.
It seems she caught on and fled.
Is that so?
I would expect nothing less from her.
Shall we continue the search?
Let her be.
Even if she makes it to Uiju,
she will not be able to return alive.
You must stay alive.
You need to stay alive
and experience the world we dreamt about.
Lord Hong…
Someday…
if my Jae-on ever comes to you…
please look after her.
Please take good care of her.
I have always wanted
to meet you, Lady Seol.
GANGNYEONGJEON
PETITION
How am I to blame
for the prolonged drought?
This is our welcome tea.
Gosh. That is Yongcheonru for you.
Even when inflation is rampant in Hanyang.
Then again, a three-year drought is
serious business.
We might end up
with an uprising at this rate.
We are in this predicament
because of His Majesty's sins.
Shush. How could you say that?
You must watch what you say.
What did you mean by "His Majesty's sins"?
Well…
They say the sitting king
angered the heavens
and caused this drought
because he murdered
his own brother for the throne.
What sort of nonsense is that?
My apologies, my lords.
Everyone in Hanyang is talking about it.
Yongcheonru is a bit behind.
That is all a heinous lie.
Please forgive us.
My word. Can you even blame them
for saying such things
after three years of bad harvests?
We need a new monarch.
How could he murder
his own flesh and blood
to steal the royal throne?
Lee Eun-ho.
Are you all right?
I need to leave early and visit my family.
Will you wait for me at your old house?
I will come later.
What is going on?
I will not be late.
Just wait for me there.
Do not get hurt again.
Be careful. Okay?
I heard you helped out
Su-ra's family's guild.
He is a clever boy with ambitions.
He will be helpful
if you keep him by your side.
Why did you send Lady Seol to Uiju?
I can only appoint you
to that position if it is vacant.
Then,
does that mean she will never be able
to return to Yongcheonru?
Well… Yes, I guess so.
Jun-hwa, you are my heir.
You should return
to your rightful place now.
Alcohol does not solve any problems.
It seems you know
all there is to know about me.
I am also aware of how lovesick you are
over the elusive Hong Deok-su.
Cheon Jun-hwa.
Are you aware
of the fate associated with your name?
A long time ago,
a friend gave me one of the characters
meant for his child's name.
He ended up having a daughter,
and I ended up having you.
We each took a character from a name
that would attract the utmost wealth.
"Jae" as in wealth
and "Hwa" as in fortune.
"Jae-hwa."
His daughter took the "Jae" character…
and you received the "Hwa" character.
That child's name is Hong Jae-on.
The very same girl you have
by your side at this moment.
Hong…
Deok-su, you mean?
Hong Jae-on has always been meant
to be yours, Jun-hwa.
Hong Deok-su is
my soulmate who shares a name with me?
You must not lose
what is meant to be yours.
Jun-hwa, you have enough power
to ensure that never happens.
Are you planning
for another outing with Deok-su tonight?
"Another"?
What exactly did you see?
I cannot just let her get hurt.
Do you not realize that Deok-su could be
put in danger if you stay by her side?
Just…
leave now.
I shall protect my person.
Please make your decision, Your Majesty.
You barge in here
and make such a demand of your king
over this measly edict
for the Crown Prince Appointment?
"Measly," Your Majesty?
Do you know what the people are saying?
They say sins
have led to the droughts.
Is that your way
of saying that I have sinned?
You should officially appoint
a crown prince and hold the ceremony
along with a rain ritual.
Do you truly believe
doing so will lead to rain?
There is no way for me
to know for certain.
However,
I will personally make sure to turn
public sentiment in favor of Your Majesty.
We should not burden
the young crown prince with such matters.
I understand.
I will issue the edict
after a thorough review.
You may leave now.
I implore you…
to grant it right now, Your Majesty.
You will…
approve!
The Minister shall kneel this instant!
Kneel.
Prince Muyeong, do not get involved.
Will you only feel remorse
for this insolence
after you are beheaded for treason?
Even if you behead me here…
you must still grant the edict
for the Crown Prince Appointment.
I implore you to restore law and order
in our nation, Your Majesty.
Then, we must select
an auspicious date first.
How can we carry out
such an important event
on just any given day?
His Majesty shall consult
the Astronomy Bureau
to select a proper date.
Yes, that would be best.
You may leave us now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We shall proceed accordingly.
There are three auspicious days
before the end of the month.
It must be held within this month.
He kicked a mad dog fixated
on making his grandson the crown prince.
All that is left is for him to be bitten.
What are we to do now?
I will…
acquire the Grand Proprietor's ledger.
I will secure evidence that proves
the Minister assassinated the late king.
With the brass key secured,
I will make sure to acquire the safe chest
before the Minister comes back.
Prince Muyeong.
I am counting on you.
Brother.
I heard the Minister barged in.
Is His Majesty all right?
He has retreated. Do not worry.
What in the world is going on?
I heard of the broken engagement.
I will no longer submit
to the Minister's intimidation.
I will correct the wrongs
of those immoral individuals.
But with what power?
I will soon…
acquire that power.
I offer you my congratulations.
Allow me to pour you a drink, my lord.
Gosh. I mean, Your Grace,
the grandfather
to His Highness the Crown Prince.
My dear man.
The edict has not been granted yet.
It is as good as done. We just need
an auspicious date to be selected.
I concur. You will soon have
the world at the end of your chopsticks.
Like this?
Listen, my lord.
After the appointment ceremony,
you should just toss the Grand Proprietor.
I concur.
You must not associate
with those of lowly blood for too long.
His name is Mak-dong for goodness' sake.
His name reflects
his inferior weed-like origins.
Come on now.
Even so, you must not look down
on someone for the name they were given.
He can call himself "Grand Proprietor"
all he wants,
but he can never free himself
from that lowly name.
Cheon Mak-dong! That petulant weed!
He just shamelessly stinks up
wherever he goes with his trail of dung!
But I wonder
why Prince Muyeong did that.
He even broke off the engagement.
Where did he find the nerve to do that?
It is suspicious.
Is he using the date selection
to buy some time?
My lord, they still only have
until the end of the month.
What could they possibly do?
Something feels off.
It feels as though he has
some sort of secret weapon.
You should not worry.
You have us, my lord.
I know where Prince Muyeong
will be tonight.
You told me not to lose what is mine.
Hong Jae-on.
The maiden whom I share a name with…
I shall reclaim her.
Will you be able to overpower
Prince Muyeong?
I will.
You are finally acting like my son.
I will give you Cho Seung-ryang.
Go and do as you wish.
GYOMYEONG:
AN EDICT THAT THE KING ISSUES
FOR A ROYAL APPOINTMEN
There are three auspicious days
before the end of the month.
It must be held within this month.
I will make sure to acquire the safe chest
before the Minister comes back.
Royal Swordsman, are you there?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Gather your men and follow Prince Muyeong.
Once he finds Lord Cheon's ledger,
secure him and the ledger.
And kill any and all witnesses.
As you command, Your Majesty.
Deok-su.
Eun-ho.
What took you so long?
Was your trip here safe?
It was fine.
I thought I would search by myself,
but I found nothing.
It seems you were searching really hard.
Did something happen?
No, not at all.
- Let us continue our search.
- No.
Something is definitely going on.
I can see it on your face.
You want to cry,
but you are holding it in.
Do you even read people's minds now?
Come here.
A family matter, right?
Is it something bad?
After my mother passed,
if it were not for you,
I would still be on that floor.
I, too, would like to be
someone like that to you.
Come on. Lean.
It may be small, but it will do.
Two is better than one.
Okay. Let us do that.
You were right.
It feels much better
to lean on each other.
See? I told you I was right.
You know… I did prepare
something else as well.
What is it?
Ta-da!
Here we go.
Ta-da!
Wait, when did you prepare all this?
Here. Try it first.
What?
Jeez…
Here. Open up.
Are you going to eat my hand too?
Sorry. I guess I was really hungry.
- You should have some too.
- I can feed myself.
No, stop. Let me feed you.
Open up.
Go on.
Wider. Come on.
Goodness.
We should share this equally.
One for you.
And one for me.
Sharing food doubles
the tastiness, does it not?
Yes.
My father used to say that.
Your father did?
Yes.
Jae-on, where are you rushing off to?
It is a secret. Do not ask anymore.
The brass key. Can I see it?
The brass key?
"Yeo-Hui-Hyang-Wi-Bae."
"Sharing doubles your joy."
This is it. I know where it is.
Are you ready?
Yes, my lord.
Let us go.
Yes, my lord.
That is the chest.
Those responsible
for my father's wrongful death…
I will make them pay.
Minister of War Oh Yeong-rak.
Cheon Mak-dong.
PRINCE LEE HYEON-WI
Prince Lee Hyeon-wi.
His Majesty?
PRINCE LEE HYEON-WI
Who are you?
Get them!
They are after you, not me.
You must stick by my side.
Okay.
Deok-su!
Who are you?
Get them!
Come with me, Deok-su.
What are you doing here?
Kill them all!
Stop them!
Let us go.
Eun-ho, let go of that hand.
She will be safer with me.
- Why? We should flee together.
- Deok-su.
- No! Eun-ho!
- Deok-su!
No!
Master?
No!
Are you okay?
Deok-su, you need to flee with Jun-hwa.
We cannot leave you here.
Leave while I hold them back. Go on.
Lee Eun-ho!
Let us go, Deok-su.
Come on, Deok-su. Let us go.
Catch them!
Go!
No… We cannot!
We cannot let them go. Kill them all!
Stop.
Prince Muyeong is present.
Put down your swords
and bow down immediately!
Bow down and show respect.
Lift your head.
Eun-ho.
Jun-hwa.
Leave with Deok-su.
Eun-ho.
You are…
Prince Muyeong?
He commanded me
to kill everyone else here.
Royal Swordsman!
Hear my command!
We will return to the palace.
Escort His Highness.
Eun-ho.
That was it?
For that ledger?
I do not ever want to see you again.
Your Highness Prince Muyeong.
He lives in a different world
than the rest of us.
You are bound to be hurt
if you stay by his side.
Why did you bring this to me?
I need to get rid of the Grand Proprietor.
I must protect my father
and the royal family.
We must restore the order of this nation.
Where did you go this time?
Do not roam around recklessly.
Is that an order?
Do as I say.
That is best for your sake.
Cheon Jun-hwa, the Grand Proprietor's son?
That seems to be
the only way to protect Deok-su.
Die!
I am the new innkeeper,
Cheon Jun-hwa.
I will make the three men
who killed my father 12 years ago
destroy themselves
while fighting one another.
I will not give up nor stop.
