"That's how they were chased out of the village." "You think Gaetong will be safe with those thugs out for revenge?" "We'll see..." "But Gaetong is a better man than the thugs who harassed everyone." "You said it." "Is it true that Baron HWANG's sheds are all completely empty?" "How would I know?" "Didn't the steward cheat and take everything after Baron HWANG died?" "What are you doing?" "Concentrate and deal the cards." "I'm going all in." " You sure?" " You'll lose the whole pot." "Pair of 7s." "Couple of aces." "Thank you very much!" "Who the hell are you!" "Gaetong!" " Go call him!" " You wanna know my name?" "It's Nom-yi." "That's right, it means wretch." "Return all of Baron HWANG's assets or else!" "Gae-tong is fighting with south-gate thugs." "Get lost, you bastard!" "Don't you dare mess with me again!" "Or the chief!" "Let's get some drinks, chief." "Hey, chief!" "Hurry up." "We have to bow to each other." "Don't you want to get married to me?" "Nom-yi!" "Nom-yi!" "Nom-yi!" "Jin-yi!" "Jin-yi!" "Jin-yi!" "Nom-yi!" "Jin-yi!" "Nom-yi!" "Jin-yi!" "Nom-yi!" "Lady Jin-yi!" "You'd better get home, quick." "The baron is very angry." "Let's go home." "But where is Nom-yi?" "When your father died and your mother ran away..." "I had pity on you and took you in!" "Why you little..." "Father!" "Father!" "Lady Jin-yi!" "I begged him." "I begged him to take me out to see the festival." "It's not Nom-yi's fault, father." "It was me..." "Father... please." "Please don't kill him." "Nom-yi?" "Nom-yi?" "Nom-yi!" "Nom-yi!" "Nom-yi has returned?" "He even brought rice and silk!" "Madam." "Have you been well, ma'am?" "You've grown so much." "Where and what have you been doing?" "Wandering and learning about the world, ma'am." "I heard that the former steward resigned." "The house has been in a terrible state since Baron HWANG passed away." "Will you allow me to assist, madam?" "Thank you." "Oh my!" "Who might you be sir?" "Who's there?" "How dare you set foot in here!" "Granny." "This man is Nom-yi." "I thought it'd leave a scar." "But I guess it's gone." "Lady Jin-yi." "Have you been well?" "Finally, you call me Lady Jin-yi." "Pardon me." "Why are you snooping around an aristocrat's home?" "Are you one of the many men after the lady of the house?" "Do I look like such a fool to you?" "I am the steward of the house." "What might you be doing here?" "I once worked in that house, too." "A guest arrived from Han-yang." "Your fiance has been decided." "Be proper and careful not to disgrace our respected family name." "I will, mother." "Nom-yi is so demanding, the servants have no time to rest." "Since when do you know so much about Nom-yi?" "A noble lady should not talk of a mere steward." "You watch what you say to Lady Jin-yi!" "Lady Jin-yi?" "Can I come, too?" "If you go, who will answer Madam HWANG when she calls?" "You get to go around the market all you want, Yi-geum." "I've only been out to see the world once when I was young." "There's nothing much out there." "Must you go out?" "I should know what my hometown is like before getting married and moving away." "You shouldn't be here." "Why?" "This is a brothel infested with many dirty lowlife beings." "I know you want to explore the town but not here." "Let's go." "Master Hae-wol?" "It is you, Hae-wol!" "I haven't seen you in ages..." "Mister, this is real wine." "Hey, look over here." "How'd a pretty gentleman like him make it to our neck of the woods?" "Come with me, sir." "Let's go have a drink." "Come on, sir." "Hey!" "You!" "If you ruin someone else's goods, you should at least pay for 'em!" "Pay up!" "People!" "This man ruined my business for the day." "I haven't sold a thing yet!" "Why you little!" "A young fellow like you out to the brothels already?" "You ruined his business so pay up!" "You're not going anywhere." "Hey?" "Isn't she a girl?" "Let go!" "Hear that?" "She must be a girl." "Let's see if it's a man or a woman." "She's a girl alright." " Let's see." " Let me check!" "With a pretty face like that, we'll be able to sell her for a lot." " You'll pay me first, right?" " Get your hands off her!" "What the?" "What the hell are you doing!" "Oh, hi Gaetong." "It's nothing." "Let's go." "You are the steward in charge of our household." "Don't go around places like that again." "Forgive me ma'am." "I have the right to go where I please." "I heard that Gaetong serves the steward as a chief?" "I'm sure that Do-bok will come back with his legs broken." "Is she really that gorgeous?" "I heard that you get stunned when your eyes meet hers." " You got me wrong, sir." " Get lost you fool!" "But I didn't do anything!" "He was peeping at your door." "You could've been hurt." "Please, let me go!" "Get out!" "Let him go!" "He's just a young lad." "Let him go quietly." "Wait, ma'am!" "Please... just one letter?" "Myung-wol" "Han-yang" "Hello, there." "Might this be Duke YOON's residence?" "Yes, sir." "What brings you here?" "I'm from Baron HWANG's of Song-do." "Well, then." "Follow me." "Lady Jin-yi's fiance is of high nobility." "I bet he's a true gentleman." " I wonder what he looks like." " Isn't she curious?" "All Lady Jin-yi hopes is that he be like the baron who passed away." "She's so beautiful, No need to worry about anything." "Stop yapping and concentrate on the sewing." "Why do you boys look so glum?" "Poor Do-bok is going crazy 'cuz of Lady Jin-yi." "So, it's true?" "He's lovesick?" "I told you we shouldn't let him!" "Why yell at me!" "It was your idea!" " Why you!" " Stop it!" "The lovesick fool is the problem." "Stop yapping." " That's not it, sir." " Then what?" "It's not his fault." "She bewitches men like a..." "Are you crazy?" "You want Gaetong and Nom-yi to come after us!" " Hey, dad?" " What?" " Someone's here from Han-yang." " Han-yang?" "He's looking for Baron HWANG's place." "Okay, let's go." "Take me to Baron HWANG's estate." "Homage gate?" "That's what it's called around here." "Are you here from Han-yang about Lady Jin-yi's marriage?" "I'll take you there, sir." "They can't open the shed with the palanquin inside." "But that can be opened with a mere chopstick." "It's not that, my lady." "It's 'cuz they're all scared of Nom-yi." "He has the key but I have no idea where he is." "Didn't he go to give offerings at the temple?" "I heard he's always at the brothel, lost under some woman's dress." "Granny, Nom-yi is not like that." "What do you know about men?" "Tell the servants I said to open it." "Granny?" "I heard when you left the palace with master Hae-wol," "You promised to become a Buddhist nun." "I did..." "Then why did you choose to stay with me?" "When I saw your clever eyes," "I wanted the opportunity to teach you." "Why?" "Now that you learned everything, you don't need me?" "No, I'm saying thank you." "How could I have grown up without you?" "You are my teacher and best friend." "Then why don't you ever listen to me?" "When have I ever not listened to you?" "A poor woman must've died today." "The joyful music is to send her off." "Joyful music?" "A custom in brothels to send prostitutes off to the other world." "To them, the end of their poor lives marks for celebration, not mourning." "Master..." "Master, please." "Please don't..." "Madam has already gone to bed." "I'll escort you to your room." "Where is Yi-geum?" "Where is she?" "Uh..." "Lady Jin-yi!" "No need to call for her." "Hold still!" "I can give you a better life!" "Like father, like son." "When I first got married," "I thought my husband was studying diligently." "But I soon realized he was a wolf in disguise." "I had to be the lady of the house who concealed her husband's faults." "To stop indecent rumors, I punished the maids in secret." "I went on to present him as a great man and even received the homage gate." "A messenger came from Han-yang to break off your engagement." "If it was due to that, he was not meant to be, mother." "When I first came here," "I brought my own maid called Hyun-geum." "The virtuous gentleman, your great, honorable father..." "Raped my maid just as your brother did tonight." "I pretended I didn't know because I didn't want to lose my maid." "But she became pregnant and I couldn't kill her unborn child." "I took her child and promised to raise the baby as an aristocrat." "What mother would want her child to grow up a slave?" "Hyun-geum left immediately..." "Without even holding the baby once..." "I wanted to keep it a secret between us forever." "But I have no idea how the house in Han-yang found out." "You resemble your real mother a lot." "Though it may all be lies, I will not take down the homage gate." "Everyone in Song-do will soon find out that you're a daughter of a slave." "Don't call me mother any longer." "The day Nom-yi came back..." "He said he met a woman by chance, hovering around your quarters." "She was a gisaeng who wandered all throughout the country." "And once the baroness' maid..." "Nom-yi grew up without parents so he took care of her like a mother." "He even brought a physician from Han-yang to treat her but..." "Her funeral fete of joyful music was today." "I only watched her procession from afar." "Thank you..." "Nom-yi." "When your mother couldn't remain faithful" "And left you to live with another man..." "You were treated worse than any of the other servants." "I couldn't understand that when I was young." "They should've had more pity on you who grew up without any parents." "I realize now." "There is no mercy in this world." "I'm not going to live like this woman." "I'll put the world under my feet..." "And laugh at it all I want." "I am no longer Lady Jin-yi..." "I've buried her here." "Gone, gone." "Leaving loved ones behind..." "I heard she's not an aristocrat." "She's the daughter or a slave." "But she's rumored to be pretty..." "She won't come out in front of all these people here." "We want to see the great Baron Hwang's only daughter's face!" "Take one, all of you!" "Chief!" "The coffin is in front of homage gate." "The pallbearers aren't budging." "Let's go!" "Chief..." "I'll handle the situation, my lady." "I'm going out there." "No!" "Please go back inside." "Madam HWANG protected homage gate her entire life." "I cannot defile it." "That isn't right." "They want to see me." "They won't go unless I go out there." "I don't care about any gates or keeping honor!" "I won't allow for them to make a spectacle of you!" "It's a poor lonely man's soul on his final way." "You cannot go out there." "Nom-yi..." "I have the right to go where I please." "Myung-wol" " Isn't that a wedding shawl?" " It is!" "Oh my!" "Whose wedding shawl is that?" " Why cover his coffin with that?" " To say they'll meet in the afterlife." "I guess she is sad, too..." "The aristocrat lady you so loved, is no longer in this world." "I give my best wishes to you as a common woman." "Please go and find peace." "Granny..." "Today is my last day here." "I am no longer Lady Jin-yi of this house." "I'll miss you, granny." "Lady Jin-yi..." "They say that an old horse can always find the way..." "You need a guide to where you are about to go." "It is a field of thorns that you cannot cross alone." "No longer an aristocrat with everything you had gone..." "It will be a tough road to tread." "I've lived long enough..." "And where else would I be of more use?" "Don't worry, dear." "I'll lead." "You just follow boldly as you always did." "You called for me, Lady Jin-yi?" "Come in." "Do you fancy me, sir?" "Answer me." "Do you love me?" "Forget it." "I did not call you here tonight to uselessly confirm anything." "It does not matter whether you like me or not." "I stand at a crossroads of three different paths." "The first is to continue being a false aristocrat." "And becoming a concubine at some rich aristocrat's house." "The second is accepting the fact that I'm not an aristocrat..." "And living the rest of my life as a slave, too." "The last is..." "Throwing myself into a brothel..." "Just like my mother did." "What path do you think I should take?" "I chose the way of the brothel." "No, Lady Jin-yi..." "I'll need someone to protect me." "It's called a procurer in the brothels." "I can trust and depend on you more than any man I know." "I shall give you my virginity, sir." " So please be my procurer." " Stop!" "Please don't do this." "I'm the one who told your secret to the house in Han-yang." "I found out she was your mother and had a crazy dream..." "If an ill-bred fellow like me cannot dare have you..." "I thought I'd bring you down to me." "I didn't think about anything else." "I am so sorry Lady Jin-yi." "Please don't ever forgive me." "Baron HWANG raped his wife's maid." "The Baroness tried to marry me off to a rich family." "My mother abandoned me..." "Not one of them asked for my forgiveness." "I'm no longer the aristocrat who cannot forgive you." "I need you for the path I'm about to take." "One, two, three, four..." "They trained to be gisaengs from an early age and will reject you." "And all the libertines of Song-do will come for the half-aristocrat gisaeng." "The other gisaengs will hate you." "Your life as a gisaeng will not be smooth." "Though they may pull pranks on you, have patience and persevere." "Why you're quite the pretty one." "If you're late, you should be spanked." "Keep your decency, sir." "There's an aristocratic gisaeng here." "An aristocratic gisaeng?" " Here, have a drink." " Thank you." " Drink up." " Oh my." "When I was in Han-yang," "I'd go through 7 gisaeng's rooms in one night." "If you just listen to them play music, who can't go to a dozen rooms, sir?" "Listen to how she talks..." "Why you!" "When all my energy rushes down here," "I can put a 10lb weight on it and..." "Still do this!" "You cannot take more than 3 rooms in one night, sir." "I can do at least five." "No more than three, sir." "Fine!" "Prepare 5 girls for me tonight." "I'll show you all." "You just watch and see." "Got that?" "Clear the tables!" "Be careful." "You!" "You'll be the first one." "Come here!" "Forgive me, dear." "Are you hurt?" "Lift up your dress, I'll make it better!" "Forgive me." "Please don't go." "This is just the way I like it." "Why that little..." "Please don't ever forgive me..." "I'm the one who put you to this hell." "Seeing you getting drunk and in a different man's arms every night..." "Is my punishment from heaven for driving you to this..." "All I wanted was your heart." "But I'll leave because" "I cannot take your cold attitude to me anymore." "Though I may wander the earth and get eaten alive by animals..." "Please, don't ever forgive me." "I promise..." "I'll never get in your way again, my lady." "Bring Nom-yi to me right now!" "He's already gone." "Where is he!" "Five Years Later" "Hello, sir." "Long time no see." "Could you hurry up ma'am?" "The new magistrate sent for you." "Tell him there is no use in trying to rush me." "Yes, ma'am." " Hello." " Hi Gaetong." "The new magistrate refused all other gisaengs but called on her?" "This is really good ginseng from afar." "My husband is serving time in prison." "Write down his name and go." "I don't know what you want, but I'll put in a good word." "We don't want anything." "It's just a gift." " No strings attached." " That's right." "Myung-wol, to see you sir." "News of a gisaeng writing poems is all over Han-yang." "Will you show me your talent?" "How could a mere girl like me raise a brush before you, sir?" "I shall play a song on the geomungo instead." "All gisaengs in Song-do can do that." "No need for you to do the same." "Tell me what you think of what it says there." "Song-do is at the end of the dark clouds blanketed over Han-yang." "Going against the wind and coming here..." "I see from Song-do that the sky over Han-yang..." "Is filled only half with clouds." "I can avoid the rain falling from a cloud." "But there is no way to escape the light of heaven." "When the sun goes down and night falls," "I long for the bright morning to come." "Now, pour me a drink Myung-wol." "Did you come to sleep with me tonight?" "If you command, I shall humbly oblige sir." "I'm asking for your intent." "If you really must know how I feel." "No, sir." "Looks like living in Song-do won't be boring." "That'll do for today." "There are three ways a man can make a woman his." "Taming a woman with power and riches and mastering her by strength." "But these two are no deeds for a gentleman." "Make her fall in love with you and implore at your feet." "But how dare she refuse you and not even come to feasts?" "Today is a feast for his magistrate's friend." "Byuk-gyesu is a true man of virtue." "He prefers feasts without gisaengs." "No matter how much I insisted, he refused." "He is probably reading instead of drinking even now." "The fools..." "Mr. JANG was right there." "Can you believe that?" "And he went there again the next day." "So I followed him then he suddenly came out." "What is this?" "That's my sister..." "She saw you here in the inn alone and reading," "She made all this food herself." "It's not much but please enjoy, sir." "Thank you." "By chance, is she in mourning?" "Yes, her husband passed away recently." "She's suddenly alone at such a young age." "Forgive me, sir." "My brother suddenly had somewhere to go so I made your bed instead, sir." "Thank you." "Good night, sir." "Forgive me." "Drink, everyone." "This is nice." "Why must you show the precious book out here?" "Can't we read it inside?" "I believe the owner of the book is about to change." "Who do you plan to give this important book to?" "Byuk-gyesu?" "Do you believe in your morality and virtue?" "Of course." "I do." "A pure stream flows clear and the virtuous man's shadow is straight." "After a bath, I do not even fear hell." "So virtue and morality are of no question." "Your honor, Myung-wol has arrived." "Let her in." "How could you bring in a gisaeng to our tea." "I felt she would suit so I called her in." "She did not come as a gisaeng." "It is an honor, gentlemen, I am Myung-wol." "Her poems are quite famous even in Han-yang." "Did you prepare a poem to show Sir Byuk-gyesu?" "Of course, sir." "As you command." "Please think of it as nothing but a song from a humble maid, sir." "Read it for fun and tell us your response." "Byuk-gyesu of high integrity, do not easily boast of your ways" "Crossing the vast sea will be hard to return." "I am full and ready for you to stop and rest." "The cursed wench!" "Your magistrate, I've already received his response." "If I give my body to have you go from heaven to hell, sir." "The magistrate promised me a very precious book." "Would it not be better for you sir..." "To take in a gisaeng over a widow?" "Your honor," "His face shows he is in hell so this treasure now belongs to me." "You stayed up all night again?" "Stop making this old woman worry and get some sunlight." "Gaetong brought back some cherries." "Seeing that it only took 3 days, he must not be very far away." "I'm talking about Nom-yi." "Why?" "There is no one." "Stop it." "Why those senseless fools..." "Gaetong!" "Yes, ma'am." "Go send word that I won't be going to." "Sir KIM's tonight." "But it is a feast at the richest man in Song-do's house." "It is to welcome the new magistrate..." "I don't want to go!" "What will they do?" "Kill me?" "I don't care if they do or not!" "Now, drink up gentlemen." "Let's drink through the night!" " Drink up, sir." " Yes, dear." "Haven't you heard?" "Bandits swept through Sir Kim's last night." "The gisaengs there also got hurt." "I heard you refused to go there." "Since when did a band of bandits get so powerful here." "No one is born a thief." "They steal to survive from hunger." "If Sir KIM heard what you said, he'd think you were one of them." "I did not mean to upset you, sir." "I'll come back later." "But you waited all this time." "He called you here for a reason." "You may go, Mae-hyang." "Myung-wol." "There is man of great virtue called Wha-dam beyond the marsh." "He refused to come to my feast and even returned my gifts." "How about it?" "I heard he welcomes scholars." "Would you like to go and meet him?" "Have you forgotten sir, that I'm but a mere gisaeng?" "Would such a man take a woman into his room?" "If he does not, that too would be a lie and hypocrisy." "Aren't you curious to see if he is a true gentleman or not?" "Do you really believe there is such a thing as a true gentleman?" "Or do you wish to hear you're the most virtuous man for denying all gisaengs?" "Are you criticizing me?" "I'm just a man with no hope of ever becoming a true gentleman." "Do you still not wish to sleep with me?" "I shall bring you the scholar's mask." "This is the game you and I most enjoy, is it not?" "I am gisaeng Myung-wol from Song-do." "I heard so much about you." "I waited all day to meet you, sir." "May I stay here for the night, sir?" "You look as if you know everything in this world." "Do as you please..." "If there is a tree blocking your way, what would you do?" "I shall go around it, sir." "And if a fierce wind should come your way?" "I shall wait for it to pass, sir." "Why do you not show anger to those that block your way?" "They are nothing but mere happenings in nature, sir." "If nature does not stir your heart, it's because you have no regard for it." "What troubles you is your selfish heart that clings to life." "If I let that go, then shall I understand the world?" "You will realize that you are one with everything in this world." "That is the ultimate truth and your true self." "Nom-yi feeds us even when the King can't!" "I wish he'd steal everyday!" "By the town's entrance last time." "I tried to get it back saying it belongs to the district court." "But the people shouted about saying there is no proof that it is..." "The people must hope for the bandits to continue stealing." "The bandits are becoming more powerful than the magistrate!" "Send out more guards to watch the streets." "What foolish thieves steal from the district court!" "They've insulted me." "I want their heads hung on the streets." "So, did you unmask the great scholar?" "What if I said the bandits and you sir are the same by nature?" "Men, women, slaves, aristocrats..." "If I said they're nothing but weeds and garbage in the roads..." "What would you do, sir?" "What did you hear from that man?" "I guess meeting a crazy old man has made me insane, too." "Hello?" "With the famine getting worse, they all came up here for food." "Chief took 'em in one by one and it grew to be this big." "This is where the chief lives." "He is not just the head of bandits." "He is their leader and father." "Let's go." "But you haven't met him yet." "He'll be back soon." "Tell Nom-yi guards will soon attack so he must escape immediately." "You two shall be married soon." "Thank you, ma'am." "But you must promise something first." "Gaetong..." "You must be a man whom Yi-geum can respect and depend on." "Yes, ma'am." "Your wedding will be far greater than any aristocratic one." "Are you scared of going to the mountain camp?" "You expect me to sit here and do nothing?" "It will be hard to seize them with our limited soldiers, sir..." " Sir, it's Ho-jang." " Come in." "There's a rumor the king's secret agent is on the move to the west." "So?" "Well... since you took office, sir." "5,000 pounds still remain missing..." "And the storehouses are empty from the bandits stealing everything..." "The money can always be borrowed and replaced." "And what magistrate is responsible for losing things to bandits?" "But we don't know when the secret agent will come here, sir." "500 pounds is a big sum." "We're worried... in case..." "Put your heads together and think." "Put the thieves aside for awhile." "Cover the money first." "See anything you like, sir?" "I've never seen such valuable things before." "What would you like to." "Who are you!" "Father..." "It's the bandits!" "Nom-yi!" "He... he..." "He killed everyone and stole the treasure!" "It was Nom-yi!" "What is going on?" "Why is that man wanted?" "A thief got into the stableman's house, killed the entire family, and stole their treasures." "What treasures did the stableman have?" "You didn't know about the old Chinese treasures they found under the stables?" "It's not easy to get 5000 pounds." "The magistrate is in our hands, now." "But we must catch Nom-yi." "I'm worried even with guards out there." "Come out everyone!" "There's something you must see!" "Gather around!" "Gather around!" "I heard you're a distant relative of the stableman." "Did you want the treasures that badly?" "You are worse than scum." "I have no idea." "What you're talking about." "Your servant confessed everything." "I'll ask one last time." "Where did you hide the treasure?" "Please, I'll give you anything you want." "Let me down." "Bring in the servant." "Where's the treasure!" "Please don't kill me!" "Under the persimmon tree out back." "We of low birth can be framed murderers even if we're innocent." "They can kill and still act honorably." "So we needed to claim our innocence for ourselves!" "They killed our brothers for mere treasures!" "And blamed me for murder!" "So I had no choice but to come down, myself." "The troops are coming!" "If the district troops come, tell them what you've seen and heard." "I'll leave the treasures here." "They'll take care of things." "Take as you please and make a feast for the lost souls." "Let's go." "Scatter out!" "Stop!" "Get them!" "Run!" " Search every corner!" " Yes, sir!" "What brings you sir to our house?" "Song-do was turned upside down last night, didn't you know?" "I hit Nom-yi with an arrow last night..." "He was once Myung-wol's procurer." "He must be hiding in here!" "We have absolutely no idea, sir." "What if I offer the stolen treasure to the king?" "But what if they find out the officials killed and stole from the people?" " Then you sir would." " Officer." "How long will you live with that title?" "Send this letter immediately to the proper authorities in Han-yang." "They'll send the guards after the bandits." "I knew you'd follow me." "All things belong to someone." "I believe Nom-yi belongs to you." "He's there, over the bridge." "Lady Jin-yi..." "Please go back." "Even the poor spit at and avoid coming here." "Why must you be here because of me?" "Please go back." "Nom-yi?" "He was Myung-wol's procurer?" "Just briefly, sir." "When she first became a gisaeng..." "Song-do's libertines still dare not harm Myung-wol for fear of him." "You really didn't know, sir?" "What kind of man is Nom-yi?" "Nom-yi?" "Well he's..." "Someone that girls like us hope for, next to becoming a concubine." "The best man there is..." "Have you never resented me for ruining your life?" "This was the way it was supposed to be." "You were there for me when I was young, and when I became a gisaeng." "Perhaps I should thank you for having all that I have now." "Soon, I am to take my people and go to a deserted island." "It's a nameless island not even on the map." "It will be a peaceful place without ranks or hunger." "So that is the paradise we all longed for..." "What shall I do there?" "You just sit and watch the beautiful sunsets." "I shall do all the work." "You confess your sins to the head of bandits." "But drink wine in my jail?" "Is Nom-yi more powerful than me?" "Is he more frightening?" "Sir!" "Sir..." "How did I ever become a bandit chief and you a gisaeng?" "The more I chase my dream, the more we're destined to be apart." "You are no longer Nom-yi, who made grass dolls and picked cherries for me." "Take the road you have chosen." "Please do not get caught." "And please." "Don't come for me again." "Build your paradise and live happily there." "I shall hold you dear in my heart forever." "Even in death, you will be my only love." "These three conspired with the bandits to murder and steal." "They committed suicide for forgiveness before the magistrate and king." "The court proclaims Nom-yi as a conspirator." "All those involved with him shall be caught and severely punished." "I don't think I'll be able to call on you for awhile, sir." "I am busy preparing for Yi-geum's wedding." "Your maid's wedding is more important than serving me?" "I'm not a gisaeng owned by the court." "I guess that comes from having the bandit chief as your procurer?" "Do you know that he used my men to plot a conspiracy?" "If he did, why would he claim innocence before the people?" "And leave all the treasure behind?" "Watch your mouth!" "Don't expect me to protect you when officials come from Han-yang." "I have other men behind me besides you, sir." "Though the country may be in disorder, royal authority reaches evenly across." "Gae-tong will take it all." "They're bandits who cause disorder and endanger the people." "You must bring them down!" "Bring me the bandit chief!" "Yes, sir." "Head out!" "Yes, sir!" "Yi-geum is finally getting married." "Let's enjoy the party." " Sit down." " It's finally here." "Let's see..." "Oh my!" "You're so lucky Yi-geum." "It's so pretty." "Wear it." "It's perfect!" "The enemy troops are coming!" "Run!" "Everybody run!" "Make sure everyone escapes!" " Yes, sir!" " Go!" " We must buy them some time." " Yes, sir." " Let's go." " Yes, sir." "Soon you must leave me for a bigger and better place." "Lady Jin-yi..." " Where are the people?" " They're running away." " Bring down the watchtower." " Yes, sir." "I don't want to kill you." "Don't come after us!" "The groom shall bow." "The bride shall bow." "Nom-yi is really something." "Even guards from Han-yang couldn't catch him." "He's vanished and is nowhere to be found." "Is everyone okay?" "Hold on for just a few more days." "We'll have a ship to take us to the island soon." " Do it harder." " Hit him hard!" " Harder!" " I'm dying!" "I got to pee." "I came from the mountain." "Chief sent me to see and congratulate your wedding." "The magistrate is not here." "Let's go." "He commanded not to let anyone in." "Please go back Myung-wol." "I must know why before I go back." "The magistrate is determined to capture Nom-yi." "Gaetong's life is in Nom-yi's hands." "We know you're secretly communicating with Nom-yi." "Tell me!" "Where is Nom-yi hiding?" "It's no use." "The messenger lost your letter by the ferry." "All the gates and ferries are blocked off by guards." "Ma'am..." "Nom-yi is..." "Don't think of letting Nom-yi know about this." "If he knew, he'd turn himself in to save Gaetong." "Then they'll both die!" "I will save Gaetong." "Chief!" "We got a ship." "We'll meet at dawn behind the northern hill by the ferry." "Good work." "Wake the others." "By the way, chief..." "Gaetong got arrested." "We must get out of here before dawn." "You said it would only take 3 days!" "I've never seen such a spiteful man." "We already sent word that we caught Nom-yi and found the treasure." "If we don't get him, we're all dead!" "Nom-yi" "The bastard..." "Nom-yi is long gone." "And there's no way of saving Gaetong." "I cast away Lady Jin-yi." "I can give up Myung-wol, too." "It's the only way two important people to me will both live." "Magistrate..." "Gaetong is not a bandit." "Please release him." "Everyone in the village says he knows where Nom-yi is." "And that he is in secret contact with Nom-yi." "That must mean he is one of them." "Rumors say Nom-yi left Song-do." "How would Gaetong know?" "I get it..." "You don't show for a few days..." "And finally come begging after he escapes out safely, is that it?" "Then Gaetong needs to pay on Nom-yi's behalf." "Gaetong was taken in the middle of his wedding." "Think of his poor wife, sir." "Have pity on the poor souls who fell in love and got married, sir." "Please let Gaetong go." "As I told you, I've never took in a woman without consent." "I am doing this because" "I really want to, sir." "Gaetong has been released." "Stay a little longer, dear." "A thoughtless woman spits in the well she drinks from." "She does not realize that soon." "She will be thirsty again." "You may spit now but soon you will need my well." "There are three things that cannot be conquered in Song-do." "The first it the Bak-yeon Falls." "The second is..." "Master Wha-dam of the marsh." "He is a truly virtuous gentleman." "You do not even hold a candle to him, sir." "And the third..." "It is I, Myung-wol." "If you think you've won me, you are under false pretense, sir." "Now that Gaetong has been released, I shall be on my way." "Why you little..." "What man goes through such trouble taking in a gisaeng?" "You sir, are the most vile and hypocritical masked man I've ever met." "Oh, Lady Jin-yi!" "Oh dear, oh dear..." "I'm fine." "Nom-yi was just here." "He said he'd turn himself in to get Gaetong released." " Lady Jin-yi?" " Are you okay?" "How long have I been out?" "3 days, ma'am." "What happened to him?" "He'll be hung outside the gates in two days." "I once went to the mountain in search of you." "I was afraid that when you saw me..." "You'd leave everything and come back to me..." "I realized something then..." "That you never really left my side." "You were always with me." "So I thought it does not matter where you are..." "And I can endure..." "Not being able to see you again." "No..." "I know..." "You wanted me to go..." "And live freely..." "But..." "Knowing what happened here..." "How could I make the island paradise..." "And hope to be happy?" "But now..." "I am the happiest man on earth." "See?" "How you look at me?" "Your beautiful eyes..." "They reveal the truth..." "Of how much you love..." "This wretched..." "Foolish man..." "This is the first and last cup of wine that I offer up to you." "Ever since I was young, until now..." "It has always been you..." "This cup..." "Means that I will give my life to you..." "This is my love..." "Thank you..." "Now, there is nothing else I could wish for." "I have one last request." "Please do not come to see me hung at the scaffold tomorrow." "I beg you..." "Lady Jin-yi." "This is Nom-yi's remains." "Take good care of granny for me." "I don't know when I'll be back or if I'll return alive." "Lady Jin-yi..." "If I die, bury me in the streets..." "So that people may trample all over me." "Heave-ho!" "Heave-ho!" "Heave-ho!" "Come back safely, Lady Jin-yi!" "Please come back!" "Come as the wind." "Come as the rain." "I shall be the wind like you." "I long to fall asleep and awake in your arms..." "I love you."
