"Why don't we finish it?" "You're only killing to make money, but what good is it if you die?" "Someone I know says that the most important thing in life" "is living." "But... you and I don't know that." "To people like us, living... is just not dying." "That's all." "But... that person is different." "That person is really living." "Beyond that, she lives with all her strength." "This..." "Did Lord Deok Seong give you this?" "That's right." "Then I suppose you're on the same side as that bastard, Prince of Buwon, or whatever." "Yes... that bastard." "What did he say when he gave you this?" "He wouldn't have told you to just give it to me." "Naturally, he wouldn't say to just give it to you." "Just... to show you that I have it, and you would follow me back." "What kind of people are you, who enjoy toying with others?" "This..." "What is it?" "Why is it so important?" "You don't need to know." "Go tell that bastard, Gi Cheol..." "That journal, I don't need it." "If he wants to play, he can play by himself." "And you, get out." "This is not a place that just anyone can enter." "I heard you come from Heaven." "You save lives and know the future." "I told you to get lost." "Seeing how much Gi Cheol believes it, it must be true." "I'm holding this, but you're not going to follow me?" "How is it here?" "In my world, partners, after finishing a day's work, will go somewhere and have a drink." "But there's no bar in the palace." "So let's do it here." "Everyday around this hour, once a day we'll meet up here." "You all use willow twigs to clean your teeth, right?" "When you do, add some of this and then brush." "This is called toothpaste." "I made it." "Morning and evening, at least 2 times." "Healthy teeth make strong warriors." "General." "What are you guys doing?" "Captain, you..." "We're off duty right now, so..." "If you're off duty, you should be sleeping to restore your energy." "So, what are you doing?" "Didn't I say to stay at the Queen's quarters?" "I heard your room is that way." "Let's go." "So this is your room." "It's kind of small." "Have a seat." "I need to see His Majesty." "I need to change my clothes, so would you leave?" "Right here!" "If you're too far, I can't see it well." "Do I need to get the Queen's order?" ""The Great Physician, as Choe Yeong's personal physician,"" ""will be able to perform treatment anytime and anywhere."" "Something like that?" "How is your hand?" "The frost-bitten one." "It's fine." "This..." "Roll up your sleeve." "It looks like it will need some stitches." "We don't have anesthetic so it will be painful." "Please bear with it." "This is Dr. Jang Bin brand disinfectant." "Are there any other wounds?" "No." "How about the right shoulder and left leg from before?" "It was just a graze, barely through my clothes." "This will hurt." "Just get started." "You should be able to go back to the Royal Hospital for now." "Although, I guess you didn't exactly stay quietly in the Queen's quarters either." "What about those scary assassins?" "They won't appear again." "Well, you are really doing well." "In my world, people really can't tolerate pain." "That's why we need a lot of things." "Narcotics, painkillers." "Or drinking alcohol." "Some people even play games." "It's done." "This is the last bandage I brought from Heaven." "I'm running out of all the things I brought." "Try to keep the wound dry," "I'll check on it again in 2 days." "I've sent some people to the Heaven's gate." "They are to watch it day and night." "If they notice anything unusual, they will notify me immediately." "I could find a place nearby for you to wait, but honestly, that makes me feel very uneasy." "Why are you walking like that?" "Like what?" "Did you hurt your leg?" "This knife, it's heavy..." "Why?" "I'm just looking." "It looks like it will be a while until I return to my world." "So I'll be staying here for now." "What kind of world is this?" "What is it like?" "So it's actually like this." "I don't think I've really looked properly until now." "If I see it properly and remember it," "I feel like I won't be able to leave this world." "What are your names?" "I am Yu Eun Su." "I am Wol." "I am Ryeon Si." "What do you use for cosmetics?" "I should be able to help you with that." "I've almost used up what I brought with me." "How do the eonnis here take care of their skin?" "You're back safely." "Do you know how long I've waited?" "I had to change clothes, so I'm a little late." "Don't be like this." "When it's just us, you don't need to observe these formalities." "Prince of Buwon won't be targeting the scholars anymore?" "The story was that I was the only one who knew the scholars' location, but when the assassins attacked me, none of them seemed to want to find out." "All they wanted was to kill me." "You returned alive from those who only wanted to kill you." "But you should still be wary, just in case." "I will make arrangements to escort the scholars to the lecture safely." "But the one to keep them safe is Your Majesty." "I shall try." "For those who are coming to me," "I should protect them." "However..." "I still feel uneasy." "Uneasy?" "If the Prince of Buwon has suddenly given up on murdering the scholars, he must be planning something else." "Planning something else?" "What could it be?" "All of the political intrigue, Your Majesty can handle that, right?" "Can I just concentrate on defending against attacks?" "You're the king's bodyguard, but you're becoming more foul-mouthed." "I am sorry." "What do you think after meeting her?" "It was amusing." "That it is." "The Great Physician always seems to surprise people around her." "So?" "Did you call me out of hiding and bring me all the way here just to see that woman?" "Is that all?" "Not just to see her." "I'd like you to help in bringing her to me." "His Majesty won't give her to you?" "That young king still does not know her true value." "Then?" "At His Majesty's side, he has a Wudalchi." "He is protecting her." "Wudalchi?" "He is the center post of the king's support." "So, the king is very close to him." "Then why not just remove that Wudalchi?" "I will do that soon." "The problem is... that woman's heart." "Sorry." "That was so funny I couldn't help it." "The Great Physician, I will remind you, is not a woman from this world." "Everything that she knows, she will only tell to someone who has her heart." "I've tested it before and I know it very well." "Therefore, you want me to win the Great Physician's heart." "Yes." "After I win her over?" "I'll give you what you want, whatever that is." "So what is it that you want from the Great Physician?" "She will be enough." "All I want is the Great Physician." "The scholars will be safe once they are inside the palace." "Group One will be visible." "Group Two will be hidden." "That's how it will be done." "Tomorrow at Sa hour (9-11 a.m.), they will start to arrive one at a time." "Your group will guard them from the entrance to the side room of the palace." "Yes." "Are there archers on the roof?" "There will be one every 5 steps." "Place one every 7 steps on the ground, and put the rest on the rooftops." "Are we expecting assassins?" "How would I know?" "If they're coming, do you really think they'd be kind enough to tell us?" "I was wrong!" "We have already had a practice." "Everyone arriving will have two guards with them." "But..." "But?" "That leaves us short for guards on the outside." "I know." "So what do we do about the lack of men?" "I will handle the outside." "I want the security so tight inside, not even a mouse can get by." "I will not even let an ant get by." "I'm going." "An ant." "The next time there's a tributary procession, our wagons..." "You'll give us five, right?" "Two." "Rotten brat, you have no respect for your teacher." "Only two." "Rotten brat." "So many scholars including their families, to hide them, feed them, board them and clothe them," "Do you want to know how much that's costing us?" "Good, let's calculate it then, penny by penny." "Let's see, we have..." "I guess this won't do." "Those damn scholars, we'll just kick them all out." "If you want to kick them out, please do it one by one and escort them to the palace." "This rotten brat, is a bigger horsetrader than we are." "Whether it's the medicine or jewelry sellers, mobilize everybody for that." "Then, that would be 5 wagons?" "Two." "Fine." "Three!" "General!" " What?" " The Great Physician, she..." "What about her?" "She came to the marketplace." "Over there at the herbal sellers, the Great Physician personally." "What about the maiden warriors?" "Well, they're with her." "This smells good." "Isn't this matcha?" "(green tea powder)" "Yes, it's matcha." "Yes, it's matcha." "I should buy some." "The catechin and vitamin C in it are a good beauty treatment." "What are you doing?" "What did she say just now?" "I can't understand her." "I was just talking to myself, sorry." "How much is this?" "I want to buy one." "This, this here?" "I'll just give it to you." "And this one is the low grade." "I'll get the better quality ones for you." "But you kids." "I'm trying to give her something for free." "Put away your swords." "What's wrong?" "What are you doing?" "No, those people..." "Choe Yeong, she's very pretty." "She looks like a person, but she must really be from Heaven." "So, I'm going to make some soaps and some cosmetics." "At first, I'll give everyone free samples." "But after they use it and find out they absolutely can't live without it," "The second time, they'll need to pay for it." "You want to earn money?" "That's right, I'm going to target those rich Goryeo wives." "It's going to be awesome!" "I'll make a fortune." "A Goryeo tycoon!" "I have also thought of a great sales method." "In my time, there's this thing called a pyramid..." "Let me tell you how it works..." "Did you see?" "I saw it." "Choe Yeong was smiling, right?" "He was smiling." "It wasn't a smile like a rotten ghost." "He was smiling like a living person." "I didn't expect to see you here." "Yes, we meet again." "Aren't you Excellency Jang Eun?" "Who is this person?" "How rude." "Have proper courtesy." "Are you him?" "The Wudalchi that I heard protects the Great Physician?" "Do you know him?" "He said he's the king's uncle." "This is Prince Deok Heung." "Did you come for an outing?" "I also came out for a walk, as I haven't been to this city for a while." "So then, would you like to walk around some more?" "Shall I escort you?" "You just go ahead." "We are already on our way home." "Let's go." "When did you meet him?" "A few days ago in the palace." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Well..." " Dae Man." " Yes, General!" "Quickly go tell Court Lady Choe that Prince Deok Heung is staying in Prince of Buwon's house." "Prince Deok Heung." "Prince of Buwon." " Immediately." " Yes." "From now on, everything the Great Physician says or does, must be reported to me or Court Lady Choe, every bit of it." "Yes." "Hey." "Just hold on a minute." "You said we should tell each other everything." "You said we'd have that kind of relationship." "No, I'm just..." "You're just what?" "He said he was the king's uncle, but..." "What did he say?" "My Lady, this is an extremely important matter." "It's something the king should know about." "My journal that Gi Cheol has, he brought it here." "He was trying to taunt me with it, so I told him I didn't need it." "I told him, "I don't need that thing" and told him to get out." "I shouted it at him." "Why?" "If I were to tell you, you'd feel responsible for me again." "Then you will say something like, "Right." "I should get that back for her."" "That's why I didn't tell you." "Why?" "I understand." "You may go." "Your Highness, it's Court Lady Choe." "I heard the Great Physician is working on something interesting." "She said it's to make a woman become more beautiful." "She needed to buy some ingredients, so that's why she went to the market today." "Prince Deok Heung is at Prince of Buwon, Gi Cheol's house." "Who is Prince Deok Heung?" "He is presently the only living relative of the King." "Then why would Gi Cheol call him here?" "I fear it is to threaten His Majesty's position." "How long is that spy, going to remain here?" "At this time, we're not sure if she's the only one, and she may possibly still have some value." " Tonight, I want to set the king's table." " What?" "Do I need to repeat it?" "Tonight, I want to set the king's table." "Prepare it so I can offer him drinks." "Yes." "Prince Deok Heung is King Chungseon's son from a concubine." "He is the son of a palace maid." "He and his mother were thrown out of the palace when he was small." "He probably grew up wandering temple to temple." "Because he always lived so secretly, he's still alive." "That's right." "At the present time, he is the king's only living relative." "That Prince Deok Heong, I've seen him before." "You saw him personally?" "Yes." "I think it was when I was a merchant in Jinpyo." "About 3 years ago, I went to deliver something to a gisaeng house and saw him." "A gisaeng house?" "(brothel)" "Yes." "I heard there was some guy there who was good at seducing the ladies." "He turned out to be wearing a monk's robe and was surrounded by gisaeng." "A monk's robe and gisaengs?" "Then what?" "He was playing baduk. (Korean chess)" "A monk's robe, gisaengs, and baduk?" "They are people who are coming to me." "I intend to give them suitable positions." "Prince of Buwon may assassinate nameless scholars, but he won't be able to murder court ministers so easily." "I beg to inform you, the power to appoint public officials is not yours, but belongs to the Jeongbang." "So, you need to go to them first." "I'm going to abolish the Jeongbang." "Your Majesty!" "As it is, the current Jeongbang is all under the control of Prince of Buwon, isn't it?" "The authority to create offices in Goryeo is still within my hands." "Thus, I have created a position for Your Highness." "As of now, you are the Pyeongjang minister." "This position is in charge of Goryeo national policy oversight and internal affairs." "It is a position not appointed by the king of Goryeo, but appointed by the Empress of Yuan." "Is the post not to your liking?" "What do you think?" "Nothing." "I think nothing." "That is what's kept me alive this long." "Not thinking." "However for tomorrow's royal lecture, you should at least say some words." "Just write it down for me and I'll memorize it." "You want me to write down what you're going to say?" "My nephew, the current king, didn't you call me here because you don't like him?" "That's right." "Are you intending to make me king?" "That is what I've planned." "I see." "What kind of king do you want to be?" "One who's around for a long time." "At tomorrow's royal lecture, please do everything you wished to do." "You can do it right to Gi Cheol's face." "The central palace hall will be guarded by Wudalchi and palace guards." "Even Gi Cheol will not be able to do anything, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, it's Court Lady Choe." "I have a message from the Queen." "She must have been very inconvenienced staying in my palace." "Is she feeling more comfortable upon returning to her own quarters?" "The Queen wished me to inquire if you could visit her tonight." "Tonight?" "She said she wished to offer you a drink later." "Your Majesty." "All eunuchs and palace maids, are to remain no closer than 12 steps from the bedchamber." "Close your ears and close your thoughts." "Just guard for those coming in." "Have you prepared a drinking table?" "Prince Deok Heong is at Gi Cheol's house, I hear." "I've heard about it." "Wudalchi Choe Yeong has already reported it to me." "I heard that Gi Cheol bringing him here means he is trying to threaten your throne." "And so?" "You haven't been the king for very long, but Gi Cheol is already trying to replace you with a new king." "He will need some justification." "He will have to justify that to the Emperor of Yuan." "In Sangseong district, members of my family are there." "I can request their help." "Before Gi Cheol can send anyone to Yuan, we would be able to speak to the emperor first." "Please..." "Please, let me help you." "This is an order I made in haste." "I asked they prepare it in a suitable color." "Do you like it?" "Your Majesty." "And I still have this..." "Do you still remember?" "Aren't you Prince Gang Reung?" "Are you a Goryeo maiden?" "That day you already knew who I was, right?" "I knew." "And yet, you did not tell me who you were." "May I ask you, which royal family are you a daughter of?" "No, it doesn't matter if you're from a royal family or not." "I am the late King Chungsuk's second son." "I may inherit the throne." "As I am a prince of a weak and powerless nation," "I have been living here in Yuan for 10 years as a hostage." "As such, I am asking if you will marry me?" "I couldn't tell you then." "Why didn't she tell me who she was right then?" "I kept trying to think of a reason since then." "Could it be that she was toying with me?" "No." "Exactly what did she want to hear from me, keeping her mouth closed, but still staying by my side." "From now, this person is my" "Who do you mean, Your Highness?" "Now I am a king." "But I don't have much, not power, not support." "The only thing that I have are my stuffy old principles." "Protect my country against Yuan." "Do whatever it takes to protect my people." "To accept help from Yuan would be breaking Your Majesty's principles." "I have already broken that principle once." "I swore that I would never hold a Yuan woman dear in my heart." "But I have already broken that." "I tried my best to resist, but you'd already entered my heart, and I couldn't forget you." "That is why I was so cold towards you." "Will you help such a weak person as me to not break my principles again?" "Will you be by my side to help me?" "What's this?" "These are pikes and swords." "The forge sent them over." "I don't think we ordered any new weapons." "I was just told to deliver it." "Hey." "Who's in charge of weapons orders?" "Also, please give this to the Wudalchi General." "The General?" "If you just tell him this is what he asked about before, then he will know." "Hey, Deok Man." "Take this to the General." "Why should I?" "Because I'm busy." "Ik Jae, Yi Jae Hyeon, and Songdo Sayeong, as well as other scholars have answered Your Majesty's summons." "Your journey coming here was not an easy one, but I am very grateful you have come." "Please lift your heads, as I would like to know your faces." "Dangcho." "Imdang." "Sabae." "And here is..." "Dong jareo." "Didn't you say you were good at memorizing things?" "That was before." "Now I'm older and I keep getting too stressed out." "Now my brain must be damaged." "Do you know him?" "I think it was Prince Deok Heong, the king's uncle." "Then maybe he's not very important?" "Your memory, how much can you trust it?" "I think he was mentioned in the textbook, but he never showed up on a test." "I guess we don't need to worry about him then, right?" "Today, here before loyal subjects and scholars," "I plan to address several affairs of the nation." "I hope everyone will help to guide me in my judgments and teach me." "Currently rank 3, Gi Won, Miljik officer." "Effective today, you are dismissed from office." "Currently rank 3, Royal Doctor, Ja Won." "Also dismissed from office." "Your Majesty, what exactly have I done wrong?" "Miljik officer, aren't you responsible for the palace storage rooms, the palace guard and military discipline?" "That is so." "Since the time I became king, you have come to the office only 2 times." "Negligence of duty and dereliction of office." "Your Majesty!" "The royal doctor performs inspections, correct?" "In the past year, what have you inspected?" "What?" "There was no record of it, no matter how much I searched." "That's..." "This is a list of names of ministers to be removed from their offices." "Please hand one out to everybody." "I will personally appoint officials to fill these empty positions." "Your Majesty." "Please speak." "There is a separate position for managing court personnel." "If Your Majesty wishes to appoint or dismiss someone from office..." "Ah, do you mean Jeongbang?" "Of course." "It has been abolished as of this morning." "So from now on, I will be managing the court personnel." "Ik Jae, Yi Jae Hyeon." "I appoint you Left Councillor, straight ranking of 1." "Your servant will accept your royal command." "We may be uncle and nephew in name, but this is our first meeting in life." "I was aware that you had arrived." "I heard that you were the new king and wanted to do new things, so I have come to offer my help." "If that is true, then I am grateful." "The empty seat there is your seat, is that right?" "So, Your Majesty is abolishing the Jeongbang, is that right?" "That was an office created by my father, the late King Chungseon, did you know?" "I was aware of that." "Then you're following him." "His Majesty is inside alone." "Alone?" "He said not to allow anyone in." "I have one thing to ask." "Yes." "General, your promise to be my man..." "I assume was primarily" "to keep your promise to the Great Physician." "The promise you made to send her back." "Because of that promise you have to fight with the Prince of Buwon, and so you chose me to use my power." "Is the order of events important?" "It's because I've been feeling tempted." "If I were to give the Great Physician to Prince of Buwon, wouldn't it settle all these problems?" "But if I were to do that," "Choe Yeong, you would leave me." "You probably would not want to serve a king who does not keep his promises." "Who should we kill first?" "Just hurry and name someone." "So, do you want to kill yourself?" "She has nightmares every night." "That is a nightmare?" "She has suffered a series of traumatic events." "From what she said, she would never have experienced these in Heaven." "She's experienced a lot of shock." "I didn't know." "That's because she fools you with her smiling face." "Here." "Very nice." "I'll put it here." "What's this?" "Such a headache." "With such a pretty face, I didn't expect you to have that killer move." "Let me see, then..." "How long do we have to continue doing this?" "Please take your time playing." "As for me, a man is calling." "Then, I think I'll put it here." "Did you come to see me for a reason?" "I just wanted to say hello." "Since we have met each other many times before, is that necessary?" "I also wanted to give you a warning." "What warning?" "Don't ever appear in front of the Great Physician again." "That person is afraid of you." "And what if I go to her anyway?" "Your right hand... will no longer be attached to your body." "I think it's been long enough." "It's time to say goodbye." "Are you bastards thieves?" "If you're after money, you've taken the wrong person." "You have suffered." "Wudalchi." "Yes, I am Choe Yeong." "As a Wudalchi, how dare you treat a royal family member like this?" "Did His Majesty's order this?" "Even if he's the king, to do this..." "I just wanted to save you, My Lord." "While passing by, I saw that you were being kidnapped by thieves." "Since I saved you, may I make a request?" "You have the Great Physician's journal, don't you?" "The Great Physician's journal?" "You did this kind of thing just to get that?" "Look you, do you really think I would have something like that with me?" "That has already been securely locked away in Prince of Buwon's drawer." "I'd like you to get it somehow and return it to the doctor." "What did you say?" "If she can figure out what's in that journal, it may explain how to get to Heaven." "That's what the doctor believes." "Figure it out together with her." "Why?" "Because My Lord, if you can unlock that secret," "Prince of Buwon will not be able to treat you lightly." "I'm sure you also know well," "Prince of Buwon, Gi Cheol, when he thinks that you are no longer useful, he will bury you in a grave at any time." "So?" "My Lord, it will give a strong card to play against Gi Cheul." "And then?" "The Great Physician will find her way back to Heaven." "Then what about you Wudalchi, what do you gain?" "My heart will be at ease." "These thieves might capture you again at any time." "If that happens, I might not be able to save you." "Therefore, please watch what you say." "The Great Physician knows how to handle a knife, and she also has a fiery temper, so don't do anything that might offend her." "It's not going to be easy to get on good terms with the palace guards." "To be honest, our relationship is more like cats and dogs, arch rivals, like that." "But..." "Thank you." "Yes." "The treatment's all finished." "Here." "Everyone take one." "I asked our Dr. Jang Bin, and I used the best herbs and mung beans." "This is called soap." "Soap." "Use it when you wash your face and your skin will be so much nicer." "Here, here." "Today only, these are free." "Free." "It's on the house." "Here." "Take out your dagger." "If it takes you that long to pull out your dagger, do you expect your opponent to wait for you?" "The people I normally use my knife on are willingly lying down for surgery." "That's why..." "This knife won't be so heavy." "Put it back on your ankle and try again." "Take it out again." "If you hold it like that, it won't be very strong." "Turn it over." "Here." "Cut with it." "Use more strength." "The strength of using a knife, is that you're able to change directions quickly and make a fatal stroke." "You must focus on a single powerful thrust." "Like this!" "The other way." "One, two, three!" "Make a strong thrust toward me." "This time, try to stab me." "Plant your legs apart." "Tighten up your stomach." "Try again." "Why is this so hard?" "Watch carefully." "Like this, all at once." "Legs apart." "Tighten your stomach." "Like this!" "It's very nice here." "The air is good and it's quiet." "But you still want to go back, right?" "You're just trying to hold it in." "Hey." "Don't you guys know where you are?" "You're trespassing!" "Which bastard was it?" "Is he here?" "There." "What are you guys doing?" "Put down your weapons." "That one, too." "Here!" "Is the Great Physician inside?" "Do you remember me?" "If you're here because you're ill, I'll call Dr. Jang for you." "Deo Gi." "This." "I stole it for a little while, but I can't give it to you." "Would you like to copy its contents?" "Today, I came on my own." "I wasn't sent here." "So please don't feel uneasy." "You're going to let me see it?" "Yes." "What's your condition?" "My condition is..." "I hope you will allow me to stay by you." "That's all." "You say this is 1000 years old?" "It is said this belonged to Hwata." "It's a lie." "There's no way this paper is that old." "See, there's even a highlighter mark here." "At the most, it's 100 years." "What is it written inside?" "Numbers and English words." "What is it?" "Wudalchi Choe Yeong has come on your command." "Please continue." "Do you recognize this box?" "I do not." "This is a note for 500 nyang." "These people, after receiving their official appointments from me, have decided their first work will be to investigate you for corruption." "Wudalchi Choe Yeong, received supplies from an arms dealer and a bribe was involved." "This one gave the bribe." "These two received it." "In addition, on searching the General's room, this draft note was discovered." "We will give you the chance to explain." "So, you're saying I received a bribe for 500 nyang?" "Not 50,000 nyang, but only 500 nyang?" "That is the amount shown." "Your Majesty has favored his Wudalchi troop." "Other than by Your Majesty, they may not receive orders, be disbanded, or be interfered with in any way." "These special privileges will become rotten with corruption." "Look here, Ik Jae, as I have told you..." "When Your Majesty appointed me, the first words you said were" "We must not be influenced by other authority, and should do our work impartially." "If you wanted to frame me for something, you should have stuck with high treason." "Why only 500 nyang?" "So the most you wanted was 500 nyang to let your men use shoddy weapons?" "General Choe Yeong." "You said you have never seen this draft note before?" "Then, should we say that your men here did all this without your knowledge?" "=Next Episode Preview="
