"SRT softsub created by Ahoxan on:" "Sat Jul 23 21:10:36 2011" "This drama is fiction." "The characters and historical events were restructured." "Coup of the Year of Gyeyoo (1453)" "The incident where Grand Prince Sooyang branded his political opponents Second State Counsilor" "Kim Jong Seo and Grand Prince Anpyong as traitors, killed them and seized the political power." "Where is His Excellency Grand Prince Sooyang?" "This way." "Did you let" "Kim Seung Yoo go?" "Yes." "He didn't catch on that you let him go on purpose?" "Probably not." "Trusting you that were his friend, he must have run to find his father." "He is a good guide leading us to Kim Jong Seo." "Young Master!" "Get out of the way." "Father!" "I'm fine." "I'm going to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs." "Lead the way." "Seung Yoo!" "Sooyang!" "I won't forgive you even from my grave!" "Father." "FATHER!" "Episode 1 1 Year Ago" "You are so well-behaved." "You are so mild-tempered." "One time?" "Just once, okay?" "That's it." "Agasshi!" "[Young lady]" "Agasshi." "My goodness." "Did you get injured again where you were already injured?" "I was almost there." "Because of this rascal, your legs are full of bruises." "Why are you doing this?" "What are you going to do if My Lady finds out about this?" "For some reason, this rascal let me mount him this time." "Hurry, hurry and stand up." "My Lady has been waiting for you for a while now." "What took you so long?" "Did your mistress hover around the stable again?" "No." "Won't you give me the truth!" "Mother." "Actually, I..." "How can that be?" "She hurt her ankle so she couldn't even go to school." "Grand Prince Sooyang" "Why would she mount a horse again?" "We are visiting the palace the first time in a long while." "As members of the royal family, do not forget your manners." "Yes, Father." "You cannot give cause to people to call you unlearned and ignorant." "All of you, participate in the lesson with all your heart and zeal." "Yes." "Have you sent someone to that household?" "He's probably there by now." "Father." "Kim Jong Seo" "Grand Prince Sooyang has sent you a letter." "A letter?" "Isn't Grand Prince Sooyang asking for the marriage of his daughter to Seung Yoo?" "Seung Yoo hasn't come home again?" "My Lord!" "The sun is in its mid course." "Get up quickly." "You have to go to the palace." "Even though they are all friends, how can they be so different?" "Talk of marriage?" "Don't tell empty tales." "I eavesdropped on father and mother." "They said they would make a marriage proposal to the household of His Excellency Kim Jong Seo." "Really, a talk of my marriage?" "Yes!" "You don't want to get married, right, Unnie?" "Tell father." "To send me instead." "The youngest son of Second State Councilor whom even the King supposedly cannot treat as he pleases." "K-i-m S-e-u-n-g Y-o-o!" "Even his name is really fine, don't you think so?" "Let's hurry and visit the Jamae Pavilion." "We have to greet Princess." "Why don't you go alone?" "What?" "I can't bear Her Royal Highness Princess who thinks she is the prettiest and finest in the world!" "If "Jae Sang Bul Gyo," then "Go Wui Bul. "" "If one is in a high position but is not haughty, one may be high but not in danger." "If "Go Wui Bul," then "So Yi Jang Sook. "" "Teacher!" "Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess." "I can't seem to find what you just read in my book." "How can that be?" "Surely, it is not here." "I gave you that book that I had read more than hundreds of times..." "Are you saying that" "I am telling a lie to my teacher right now?" "That's not what I meant, but..." "See for yourself." "What?" "I'm asking you to come and see for yourself." "Do I have to go over there and show it to you?" "No." "Your humble servant will..." "Please see the next page." "Oh!" "How shameful!" "Princess used her beauty as weapon and harrassed her teacher?" "How improper!" "Let's take this opportunity to entirely give up on" "Princess's lessons." "Every teacher who goes in there is chased away." "We, teachers of the Royal Academy, have lost authority." "Is that our fault?" "Professors Lim Chang Gyoo, Lee Ung Soo, Gil Byong Woon have resigned one by one." "And teasing them wasn't enough, so she had to do that even to Professor Yom!" "Didn't I underscore the importance of not raising that curtain?" "Why are you doing this?" "Princess is waiting for you at her quarters." "You have to finish the lesson." "I am just ashamed." "Why don't you take the princess just for today?" "No way!" "The ignorant female members of the royal family give me enough headaches as it is." "Why don't you leave her to the newbie professor?" "Where on earth is this rascal?" "!" "Where are you coming from?" "I was so engrossed in my reading at the library so..." "What did you say?" "Engrossed in reading?" "Yes." "Exactly at what library do gisaengs read you books?" "Why don't you look at your face first?" "Face?" "What is this?" "If not you, rascal, who else knows the answer?" "Hurry and go to the princess." "But Princess's teacher is Professor Yom Do Il." "He quit." "Did Princess make fun of her teacher again?" "It's pathetic, don't you think?" "The sight of those pretending to be ethical and noble men not knowing how to act..." "Still, you were a bit too much." "Her Royal Highness Princess, Miss Se Ryung is here." "Her Royal Highness!" "Why does a woman want to ride a horse anyway?" "That is so unseemly." "Why get hurt trying to do things that men do?" "Look who's talking..." "Why do you collectso many silk shoes?" "You can't wear them all." "Because I want to have them." "The same for me." "Because I want to ride it." "I want to ride and they tell me not to." "So I want to ride even more." "I heard that you couldn't even mount one." "I have even thought it was just for a moment." "Even after getting it so bad..." "Princess, it's time to return to your lesson." "Miss Se Ryung, you have to go to the lesson for female students of the Royal Academy too." "Lesson!" "Lesson!" "It's incomparably boring." "I'm not going." "Her Royal Highness, what if Your Majesty finds out about it?" "Can Your Majesty, my father, gainsay me?" "They said they would make a marriage proposal to the household of His Excellency Kim Jong Seo." "What are you thinking about so hard?" "If I get married and lead a caged life, I think I will fully understand how you feel." "What are you talking about?" "Her Royal Highness, shut up in this high-walled palace, don't you feel stifled?" "What is there to be stifled about?" "The palace lacks in nothing." "Go see my courtyard garden." "Do you know how many wondrous and precious plants are there?" "Ones that cannot be found anywhere else in Joseon." "Rather than those tended by man, I like the flowers blooming wildly in the field so much better." "Her Royal Highness!" "I found out who he is." "Are there still men left standing?" "It's Professor Kim Seung Yoo." "Kim Seung Yoo?" "You know, the youngest son of the Second State Councilor." "The youngest of the Second State Councilor?" "Second State Councilor's youngest son" "K-i-m S-e-u-n-g Y-o-o!" "You must never lift up the curtain between you and Her Royal Highness." "Keep it in your mind and take it to your heart." "Please announce me." "Her Royal Highness, Professor is here." "Her Royal Highness, I am Professor Kim Seung Yoo." "It's a tremendous glory and honor to serve Her Royal Highness who is so infamous." "Are you displeased because I am late?" "You don't even let me hear that famed beautiful voice of yours." "Please open the Book of Filial Piety." "Which lady of which household is she?" "She is Miss Se Ryung of Grand Prince Sooyang's household." "Kim Seung Yoo or whoever it is, professors are horrible." "Her Royal Highness!" "Don't you by any chance want to go outside the palace?" "Outside the palace?" "What about my lesson?" "I will in your place..." "You will place yourself in the princess's lecture room?" "How can you imagine such a thing?" "How improper!" "Actually, Professor Kim Seung Yoo is supposedly my future husband." "I want to see him with my own eyes." "Her Royal Highness Princess, you should have dissuaded Miss Se Ryung." "But if you're in on this with her!" "What am I going to do?" "If you call me princess one more time," "I'm going to have your buttocks paddled." "What is the Way of Three Obediences?" "A woman, as a child, obeys her parents." "After marriage, she obeys her husband." "After her husband passes away, she has to obey her son." "That's what it means." "In the end, the Way of Three Obediences teaches that a woman is merely her men's shadow." "Shadow?" "Are you sure that's enough?" "Is it time to raise the curtain now?" "The figure that supposedly bewitched the professors of the Royal Academy..." "The beauty that would put Yang Guifei to shame..." "Why don't you show me that, Her Royal Highness?" "Even if you show me a more private part than your calf," "I won't be tempted." "If you use your beauty as a weapon, how are you different from gisaengs who prostitute themselves to men?" "I won't tolerate your naughty behavior of making fun of your teacher during a lesson." "I will stop today's lesson here." "Please raise the curtain." "I said... raise the curtain." "Her Royal Highness, what on earth..." "This is smarting." "One gets her body from one's parents and keeping it sound and healthy is the beginning of filial duty." "Not being able to bear the pain, I let my teacher see a shameful sight." "I am extremely sorry." "But Teacher, did you speak of a more private part?" "Which part, pray, did you expect to see?" "Did you wish me to undo my blouse ribbon and hike up my skirt?" "Or did you wish me to kiss you on that neck of yours?" "Heh?" "If you're ill-bred enough to walk around in broad daylight, with the lipstick mark of a prostitute," "I won't put past you that kind of dirty imagination." "But we are in the solemn palace grounds." "I am so offended by your joke that should be played at a whorehouse." "Even though you say women are only shadows of their men, how can we trust such flippant men and follow them?" "What?" "A letter?" "Sooyang sent a letter to the Second State Councilor?" "What was the content?" "I am sorry..." "I didn't get that information." "King Moonjong (Grand Prince Sooyang's Hyung)" "I wonder what it is..." "They used to fight like cats and dogs." "So for what reason... ?" "Even though I'm the king, how come there are so many things I don't know about?" "How am I?" "I am sorry." "My chronic illness is flaring up." "How is that your fault?" "I am sorry, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, Grand Prince Sooyang is here." "Let him in." "She tries to ride a horse." "Se Ryung is as bad as Princess." "You and I have formidable daughters, dongsaeng." "You are right, Your Majesty." "Because she was motherless, I spoiled her and raised her to be a brat who doesn't know how scary the world can be." "Dongsaeng, please remind her once in a while." "I am an inadequate dad who cannot keep even his own daughter under control." "Oh ho..." "I consider Se Ryung my own daughter." "You too consider Princess your own and look after her, please." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Can you do the same to the Crown Prince too?" "Of course I should." "Thank you." "I will see you at the Audience Hall with other royal clan members." "Your Majesty!" "Royal Doctor, come out quickly!" "Keep it down." "Sooyang is still within the hearing range." "Your Majesty..." "He is curious about the content of the letter?" "Your Majesty!" "We must hurry and have Princess Kyung Hye married." "She is past the most appropriate age." "How do the royal clan members feel about this?" "In my humble opinion," "Her Royal Highness Princess's marriage is, on a large scale, a happy event for the whole country." "On a smaller scale, it is the royal family's important event to be welcomed." "Moreover, after Princess gets her royal consort," "Crown Prince must do so as well for the royal family to find firmer footing." "If I may..." "With Grand Prince Sooyang, the first among the royal family members, as the head, the Royal Household Department will discuss the details of the selection of the princess's husband." "That will not do." "The selection process for Her Royal Highness Princess's husband must be overseen not by the Royal Household Department, but by the Ministry of Rites." "Your Majesty, please order the installment of a Royal Wedding Committee within the Ministry of Rites." "The Ministry of Rites!" "Nonsense!" "The Royal Household Department has always overseen royal weddings since the predecessor kings' times." "A wedding is, after all, a family affair." "On a bigger scale, it is a national affair." "Still, the Royal Household Departmentshould oversee..." "I will follow the Second State Councilor's opinion." "Your Excellency!" "We can't spoil the nation's joyous event with bickerings between the royal household and government officials." "At least during this wedding preparation, we the Royal Household Department will help the Ministry of Rites all we can." "I wonder why Grand Prince Sooyang said he would follow Your Excellency so willingly." "Help all he can?" "I wonder what on earth his hidden agenda is..." "I am eagerly awaiting your response to our marriage proposal, Your Excellency." "Your Majesty," "Second State Councilor's son Kim Seung Yoo has become Princess's teacher." "Buy my rice cake!" "You over there!" "You!" "Get out of the way!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Hey!" "There!" "Let's look around a bit more." "I'll call the litter bearers." "What ruffian are you?" "I asked you who you are!" "How dare this guy..." "Are you playing house in hiding?" "I'm here, My Lord." "Here it is, My Lord!" "Aigoo, My Lord." "Princ..." "Your High..." "But, my lady, are you all right?" "My Goodness, she's trembling." "Makson, escort him now." "The noise is giving me a headache." "Let's go back." "Keep your mouth closed forever about today." "Yes." "In the end, the Way of the Three Obediences teaches that a woman is merely her husband's shadow." "Lady Se Ryung," "There's a big problem." "The Crown Prince has arrived." "What?" "Crown Prince Hong Wi (later known as King Danjong)" "Princess, his royal highness, the crown prince has arrived." "Princess..." "Noonim (sister), it's me Hong Wi." "Noonim..." "Crown Prince have you arrived?" "Se Ryung Noonim, you were here too?" "Yes." "There was a discussion about selecting the royal son-in-law at the Audience Hall." "Perhaps did you hear this?" "And so?" "Queen mother isn't present." "If you leave the palace too, what shall I do?" "It's a thing that must pass when the time comes." "You can't show any weakness in front of others." "Your highness." "You have to lead the nation." "You have to pretend it is not difficult even if it is difficult." "You have pretend not to be hurting even when you are hurting." "You must do this." "I must have acted like a youth belonging to an ordinary household." "I'll be leaving." "How was your trip outside?" "It was nothing special." "The noise of all the voices of the rabble was hard on my ears." "The road was dirty." "It was difficult to endure." "Did you find it so?" "So, what was your future husband like?" "Why?" "Was he someone musty who knows only of books?" "He looks like a playboy and he is incomparably rude." "A playboy?" "A guy who walks around with a lipstick mark on his neck..." "He was a libertine." "A lipstick mark?" "Was there such a teacher at the Royal Academy?" "By the way, how did you see the lipstick mark?" "Did you, by any chance, lift up the curtain?" "It was not Young Lady's fault." "That professor lifted it up first." "That turned out well." "Pardon?" "He even saw your face, so how can I go to the lessons now?" "I will care for my plants in the courtyard garden." "Why don't you keep studying affectionately with your future husband?" "Your highness!" "You put too much strength into your shoulders." "That you drink all night long and wield the sword in a drunken stupor..." "Do your inferiors know that?" "Look who's talking." "You're an alcohol teacher, not a letters teacher." "In order to go home sober, we'll have to avoid Jong." "He was so determined to get free alcohol out of you today since you got promoted." "Ah, horrible guy." "How could he not skip even a day?" "Has Jong, that punk, ever missed a chance to drown in barrels of alcohol?" "Even as we speak, at some gisaeng house..." "Isn't that Jong?" "Eh hey, Makson, escort him gently." "Who are you guys?" "What concerns you?" "You, guy!" "How can you drag away a gentleman?" "This gentleman, borrowed money from our Money House and pretended as if he didn't." "So we had no choice but to take him." "Isn't that right, My Lord?" "I... never said I wouldn't pay back." "Who is your leader?" "Why?" "What will you do if you know that?" "You're insolent!" "Won't you step back and leave!" "I'm insolent?" "I will take full responsibility and take care of this later." "So let my pal go." "You'll take responsibility later?" "I got deceived by those words countless times." "How can I trust those words?" "Can you still not trust us?" "You are an officer at the Hansung Bureau (similar to today's police dept. )" "We didn't realize you were so high and mighty." "Leave." "You have powerful friends." "Missed the mark!" "It is brave to show off skills that are not perfect." "Continue on." "You're improving." "Yes." "Sooyang innately is a potential king." "Your Majesty, that surely is not so." "I don't have much longer to live." "When his father dies," "How is that youngster going to cope with his aggressive uncle?" "Your majesty." "If I could only ensure the life of that child," "I would, from this position," "Even if I fall down and die right here," "I won't have any regrets." "Your Majesty!" "I am so sorry." "I do not know how to react." "I believed you would show me unchanging loyalty unto my grave." "But I cannot trust you any longer." "Why is that?" "Please tell me the reason, Your Majesty!" "What on earth are you plotting with Sooyang in secret?" "Driving a wedge?" "How can sending a letter drive a wedge?" "After finding out that there was a letter going from the Grand Prince to the Second State Councilor," "Your Majesty has, literally, not been able to sit still." "That was a brilliant move." "When I heard that you made a marriage proposal that could not possibly be accepted, whether your political instincts were getting stale..." "I was secretly worried." "But, Your Excellency, a sham marriage proposal alone cannot completely break apart Your Majesty and the Second State Councilor." "I never said it was a sham." "No matter what, I am going to become in-laws with Kim Jong Seo." "If you were in such dire circumstances, why are you telling us only now?" "Don't you know what a dangerous place the Money House is?" "If they can't get interest, they even chop off your limbs without any hesitation." "Even if it was because of your mother's illness... how can you use usurers banned by the law?" "Now, now..." "Let's put out the more urgent fire first." "Wouldn't I or Myun be better than those strangers?" "How much do you need anyway?" "Why don't you let me get big fat interest from you, dude?" "Today, I saw... a true matchless beauty." "Even though I'm not sure, I think she surpasses" "Princess Kyung Hye who supposedly is the most beautiful throughout the eight provinces of Joseon." "The most beautiful, my butt." "She was just an ordinary lass." "That's impossible!" "Are you saying you've seen Princess Kyung Hye?" "I'm dying of curiosity!" "Quickly tell us!" "I'm only in charge of her lessons." "Wow!" "Why are you telling us the happy news only now?" "Is she really to die for?" "Even if a princess, she's just a lass." "Why are you dudes making such a fuss over a mere lass?" "Come here." "Today's alcohol tasted real good." "When did you ever think alcohol was not tasty?" "Shush!" "Jeong Jong is ordering you guys." "March to the next gisaeng house!" "March onward!" "It's your turn to piggyback him." "Nonsense!" "The other day from the Supigore gisaeng house, who was it that piggybacked that punk?" "What?" "Why?" "Aigoo, let me go!" "Aigoo, let me go, you punk!" "Why are you doing this?" "I'm not going home!" "Father." "It's Seung Yoo." "Are you with a guest?" "Are you drunk again?" "I had a drink with close friends." "Go to bed!" "You have a very manly son." "I am sorry, but my daughter is not submissive." "She'll have to meet a manly husband in order to avoid a divorce." "Is this marriage proposal really just a marriage proposal?" "Second State Councilor, only you and I can prevent an irreversible tragedy." "What do you mean tragedy?" "After Your Majesty passes away..." "Watch what you say!" "if I say I will regard the throne like a common slab of stone and only assist the young Crown Prince, will you believe me?" "No one in Joseon, even dogs won't believe that." "When the Crown Prince accedes to the throne," "King's issue Sooyang has to be eliminated first." "That is the only way to save the young Crown Prince and this country Joseon." "That's what you're thinking." "So, in order to live, I'm going to strike you down, Your Excellency." "In the end, one of us two will see the blood." "I, Kim Jong Seo, am not afraid of death." "It's not just you and me." "Do you really want to see our innocent children being stabbed and beheaded and bleeding?" "If you and I become allies, we can save our dear children." "I must go in, you think?" "Isn't this what you asked for?" "If you really can't bear it, just tell the truth to that professor with your own mouth." "Now, you're worth a look." "Before starting the lesson, some housekeeping rules." "I will take to my heart the painful reprimands Your Royal Highness gave me." "But Your Highness must also strictly observe the etiquette between the teacher and the student." "Going forward, I will not allow needless interruptions to lessons." "Moreover, write down all the contents of a lesson and submit it to me at the next lesson." "You must memorize all the phrases you studied each day." "I will test you through frequent oral examinations." "If you cannot pass the exams, then you will go back to square one." "Why aren't you answering me?" "Do as you wish." "Infinitely obliged." "If you want to abuse your position of teacher and pay off old scores, how can a powerless student prevent that?" "I am going to overlook your pettiness with a big heart." "Why don't you give me an oral examination now?" "You mean right now?" "Your Majesty, how come you personally came all this way to the Royal Academy?" "I heard Princess's teacher has changed yet again." "I am extremely sorry." "Would you like to see him personally?" ""Bi Bup Bul Un" and "Bi Do Bul Hang. "" "If it's not the law, don't utter it and if it's not the way, don't follow it." ""Gu Mu Tek Un" and "Shin Mu Tek Hang. "" "This way, one does not have to worry about choosing words." "And one does not need to worry about choosing actions." ""Ja Woo Sa Bu Yi Sa Mo Yi Ae Dong"" "If one cares for one's mother with the heart that cares for one's father, the love toward her will be the same." ""Ja Woo Sa Bu Yi Sa Gun Yi Kyung Dong. "" "If one cares for one's king with the heart that cares for one's father, the reverence toward him will be the same." "Without getting stuck, you're doing very well." "Your Maj..." "Your Majesty," "This is Professor Kim Seung Yoo in charge of Her Royal Highness Princess's lessons." "I just dropped by." "Thank you for teaching my less than perfect daughter." "That is not the case, Your Majesty." "Would it be rude if I observe the lesson for a while?" "Of course not." "Go on with the lesson." ""Go Mo Chui Gui Ae" and" ""Yi Gun Chui Gui Kyung. "" ""Kyung Ji Ja Bu Ya. "" "Princess,Your Highness." "Please interprete it." "Your Highness?" "I guess Princess's learning still has a long way to go." "Professor Kim, please be a kind teacher to Princess." "I am sorry." "Because I am such an inadequate teacher," "I have troubled Your Majesty's mind." "Don't worry about it." "Since you came all this way, why don't you see Princess before you go?" "We will raise the curtain for you." "Turn around." "Raise the curtain." "Hold it." "Within the Royal Academy, teachers should be regarded more highly than the king." "How can I interrupt the lesson any longer?" "Please proceed." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Second State Councilor's son, as I've heard, you're really bright and handsome." "In the future, please give much teaching not only to the princess but to the Crown Prince as well." "I am infinitely obliged." "You have various ways of giving a hard time to your teacher." "Her Royal Highness." "Your Majesty has visited the Royal Academy." "What?" "So what happened?" "We didn't get caught." "Then, everything is fine." "But what if Your Majesty once again..." "Father won't pay another visit." "After the Book of Filial Piety is finished, the professor will change again." "So hang in there a bit longer." "Should I reveal the truth even now?" "No." "Even Your Highness getting into troublebecause of me..." "I don't want that." "Your Excellency, it's Woon." "There is a message." "I guess the answer to our marriage proposal has arrived." "Come in." "Is it from the Second State Councilor's household?" "No." "It's an order bidding you to come to the palace." "Great!" "This is it!" "You said even if a princess, she was a mere lass." "That mere lass is really something." "To make peerless Kim Seung Yoo into an incompetent teacher before Your Majesty." "I wonder what's in that head of hers." "So?" "Are you going to punish her?" "I'm racking my brain." "Yes?" "I have some business to take care of." "Go first and wait there." "Look here." "Your Excellency," "Do you know what on earth is going on?" "Let's go." "I mean to conclude the matter of selecting Princess Kyung Hye's royal consort today." "I think it appropriate to decide on the master of the ceremony as soon as possible and to hold the first, second and final rounds of the selection." "Do you really think it's necessary to go through all that hassle?" "Once in a while, only two rounds are held, but..." "I wish for an even simpler procedure." "If you are wishing for a simpler procedure, do you, by any chance, have the perfect candidate in Your Majesty's mind?" "Who is it?" "Please tell us who you have in mind." "PLEASE TELL US." "I shall... choose the Second State Councilor's son Kim Seung Yoo as my son-in-law."
