"I'm incompetent and that's why I was dealt my plight." "Do you have any left over meat?" "Yes." "But..." "How should I... ?" "Then... set a food platter, and let's head to Jungyunahm at the back hill of Sungkyunkwan." "Jungyunahm?" "[ Moo Hyul ] Commander of Internal Securities )" "Hurry up and come." "Your Majesty." "[King Sejong;" "Lee Do ]" "Oh my, Your Majesty!" "Come up..." "No." "Your Majesty, how could I?" "How can this servant?" "Come up." "I am a butcher." "Why are you doing this?" "So how come a butcher does not hear his king?" "Ah, yes." "Hurry up and come up!" "Yes." "Here." "No, I cannot." "How can this servant...?" "After I gave you a secret order," "I overlooked you." "And yet, you protected your loyalty toward me." "You protected yourself." "That is why I am offering you a drink." "Here." "Take a drink." "My..." "Hurry." "Give me a drink too." "Here is where the traitor Jeong Do Jeon, during the founding days of Sungkyunkwan, discussed learning." "However, Sungkyunkwan students still meet secretly here and honor the soul of Jeong Do Jeon." "Are you sure?" "Bon-Won of Milbon is" "Sir Jeong Gi-Joon?" "Yes." "After the incident of Chodongyosa," "Sir Jeong Do-Gwang sent him here, to Banchon." "But how... a butcher?" "He could have been adopted by another noble family..." "It was a time when we could trust no one." "Sir Jeong Do Gwang passed away and" "Milbon's pledge disappeared." "We had nothing in our hands." "What about Milbon at that time?" "The devotion of Milbon members was for Sir Jeong Do Jeon." "It was not for a 22 year old rookie." "Accordingly, starting from Sungkyunkwan and Banchon he reestablished Milbon." "Those gathered young officials and students are plenty already." "You know what kind of ceremony was performed by scholars at Jungyunahm?" "Do you know?" "Perhaps..." "At Jungyunahm, the custom commemorating Master Sam Bong...?" "Yes." "Bonwon was providing meat to scholars." "He talked to them as if the custom always existed." "And everyone is now following." "They say that the Joseon students remembering Master Sam Bong is the start of Milbon." "He said... that's how we have been preparing." "As long as, for 24 years..." "This place is where Jeong Do Jeon did a seminar." "Under here, the students crowded and listened to his lectures." "Your Majesty." "I don't know any of these things and the students brought wine and meat here." "The reason why I brought you here is because the command that I gave you" "I believe at least Sambong would understand." "[ Sambong = Jeong Do Jeon ]" "As for the order given to me, would Sambong understand?" "I've read that book over and over." "This is the conclusion that I got from it." "Readoverandover?" "Everyone will say that it is against Neo-Confucianism but only Sambong" "would have agreed with me." "Howdoesthecommandgiven to me relate to Teacher Sambong?" "What do you think of the command I have given you?" "To get ready for a dissection... is from that command." "What kind of thought will this servant have?" "However," "I am not sure what the autopsy is for." "How should I plan it?" "I will prepare for that." "So when you hear Injeong, (ringing bell 28 times at 10 pm) come to Gaksundang secretly." "To the Palace?" "Yes." "I believe that the Palace will be safer." "And also," "I will observe it in person." "Will Your Majesty in person?" "Then, what kind of animal... do I need to dissect?" "It is not an animal." "What?" "What do you mean?" "The corpse?" "That is correct." "Without anyone knowing, you must do it secretly." "Yes." "I don't know if that rascal Park Po is keeping a good eye on Dodam-daek or not, you know." "You should talk." "I am really thankful." "Thank you." "Don't... be like that." "For the great cause of His Majesty, do not dedicate yourself to it." "If you want to sleep, to get away from it and live... you should forget everything and just sleep." "Then you can get out of it and live." "Then Palace Guard, why did you eat snowbell and Chinese dates then?" "You mean, is it working out for me then?" "Of course, it doesn't." "Hence like a fool," "I stuff myself feeling wretched prolonging my lifeline." "That's why I'm telling you." "A still young and fresh court lady, for His Majesty's great cause or whatever, are you going to stake your valuable life on it?" "Woops." "This friggin silly mouth of mine." "I made a misstatement." "Don't bother... then..." "I... trust the King more than myself." "I trust whatever the King is doing." "That will make me go out of it." "Itisnotananimal." "IsthatLeeDoinhisrightmind?"

"In the shrine, not a single person was seen, and Madam Dodahm just put in the incense and was gone!" "Be quiet a little." "Are you going to speak loudly to the whole town?" "He said that Dodahmdaek disappeared." "While this pig was eating pork he fell asleep!" "Is it too much for three people?" "What are you saying?" "In Banchon, streets are like a maze." "When the entrance is one, the exits are a few." "Alright." "I'll think about it." "Hey." "Someone came looking for you." "Who?" "Someone asked me to call you." "Not everyone can meet a royal guard." "I kicked the person away." "Who was it?" "I didn't ask who he was, but he asked to send you a message." "What is it?" "Ddol Bok!" "At Mt." "Jangbaek, my master is at Jangbaek Mountain, you mean?" "Yes." "Have you seen him?" "I heard that he was not around and no one knew when he would be back." "Who?" "I don't know." "He looked like a steward or a disciple." "So..." "Did you just come back?" "It looked like a lie, so" "I concealed myself nearby." "The guy packed and left there." "He was maybe going to report to the master." "I followed him..." "That was..." "It was Hanyang." "Where in Hanyang?" "Hey, not much happened, right?" "Excuse me..." "Are you a royal guard?" "I am a royal guard." "Chief Jeong of Palace Guards." "That's good." "I wish I can find that guy, Kang Chae Yoon." "From your accent, you seemed to come from the north." "Speaking of the north, something that is really good for guys... but cannot be explained..." "I heard that there is a knapsack." "A knapsack?" "You want one?" "Yup, "Barang."" "Have you arrived?" "Sir." "I'll bring him out quickly!" "Just stay here!" "Thank you."

"He was there somewhere." "He'll come again." "He came here yesterday and came today again!" "That jerk..." "Choolsangsool." "(high martial arts)" "It's that punk." "Did you come to meet Kang Chae Yoon?" "What is the the relationship between the teacher and Kang Chae Yoon?" "The elder is not your teacher!" "He never thought of you as a disciple." "Gag him." "They are gone." "Our search has ended." "Why don't you tell the Chief Jeong to search everywhere?" ""Ddol Bok..."" "he clearly said he knew that name?" "Of course." "So who is "Ddol Bok"?" "Who would it be?" "And that punk took him?" "Po is right." "Let's report it and do a complete search." "If not, how are we going to find him?" "Tak, who is "Ddol Bok"?" "Who is it?" "You guys don't even answer me!" "I'm going to leave!" "Why, I seriously..." "What's that white thing?" "Isn't that Baektojeok?" "[ Baektojeok = white powder scouts use to alert their location ]" "What's Baektojeok now?" "Didn't he say he spoke in Northern dialect?" "I said, what's Baektojeok?" "Is that a Northern dialect?" "You'll die if you eat it." "It's nearby here." "Why are you so stupid?" "You just have to say what the relationship is between the elder and Kang Chae Yoon." "Right?" "What?" "What did you say?" "It's this person!" "What?" "What... what's wrong?" "Catch him!" "Are you Kang Chae Yoon?" "Stop there!" "You scum!" "You took out your sword?" "Come here!" "Who are you?" "Who are you... that you know Ddok Bok?" "Elder," "Lee Bang Jin." "You're not going to walk straight?" "Huh?" "Hey..." "Are you all right?" "Huh?" "How..." "He's dead!" "What is this?" "The branch penetrated the body." "Is it even possible?" "It's loose again?" "Give it." "I'll do it again." "What in the world did you do alone?" "Talk clearly!" "I told you, it was a flash." "Some pungent energy from behind..." "So I instinctively turned and it was a flash." "Then I don't remember." "Me too." "I couldn't even see his face or counterattack." "Anyhow, I need to tell it to the Chief Jeong." "At one strike!" "It was not a trivial thing." "He was stabbed in the back." "From the back, this thin branch broke into the back ribs... it was exactly aimed at the heart, and killed immediately." "Does such a skill really exist in the world?" "Isn't it that punk who masks half of his face?" "No, he was confronting me." "Then, who the heck was he?" "Such high skills." "Maybe as good as my master, or he could be even better, this killing skill that was never heard or seen." "I don't have a name to parade." "People call me the punk from house of Han." "How did you get to serve Bonwon?" "Yes..." "At first, I was supposed to pass the high-level state exam and get into Saheonbu." "(office of inspector)" "But I'm not the kind of punk suited to be a bureaucrat." "so I decided to stay next to Bonwon." "But I still apply for the government exam every year." "Not passing them is not an easy thing." "What about the preparation for the upcoming meeting?" "There is no problem." "The problem lies with the elders who originally were loyal to Sir Sambong." "Sir Haegang can deal with it." "When Sir Haegang comes, every elder will come." "Yes." "They will come, I'm sure." "However, their true motives may be all different, so... that item is needed." "Milbon's warrior?" "Yes." "Since it is a secret organization, they need a military force..." "There must be skilled warriors." "Do you know anything of that matter?" "It was an old incident, but" "Joseon's best swordman was in Milbon." "Isn't it the Chief Guard Officer?" "(Moo-Hyul)" "Right now it is, but there was someone who had an advantage." "There was a better hand..." "He was the guard warrior of Jeong Do-Jeon." "That night, when Jeong Do-Jeon died, he disappeared." "Why he didn't guard Jeong Do Jeon and disappeared" "I do not know." "The weird thing is that he had Milbon's pledge when he disappeared." "Milbon'spledge..." "Do you mean the Milbon's pledge?" "That is the one." "Milbon's pledge!" "It's true that many Milbon members are curious." "If Milbon's pledge is the last will of SamBong or something else..." "I think you are more interested in it." "Be quiet!" "I, Shim Jong-Soo as a scholar of Joseon, do not have an interest in mere bits of paper." "What?" "Sure, you don't." "Simply put, Milbon's pledge has significance as a tool to pull the organization together." "What on earth is the Milbon's Pledge?" "It is Jeong Do-Jeon's last will..." "I know nothing." "However, what's certain is that on that night of Moo In, they made great effort to find the letter." "Did they find it?" "That is something we don't know." "Why did Lee Bang Ji take the writing and disappear?" "Also..." "Who did you say right now?" "Lee Bang Ji." "He was the best warrior in Joseon and Jeong Do-Jeon's bodyguard." "Milbon's pledge..." "What are you going to do about it?" "At this meeting, all elders will participate, but they are all coming because they want to know if the Milbon pledge really exists or not." "It is not because of the old royalty." "Surely they are going to mention it." "Even Shim Jong-Soo." "Although he talks differently, he must be interested in Milbon's pledge." "Why not?" "Milbon's destiny depends on it." "However, we don't have it," "What will you do?" "It was decades ago that it was exchanged for a strange pouch." "The owner of the pouch... was a slave named Ddol Bok, from Lord Shim Ohn's household, is what we managed to learn." "He was in the north but we have no idea where he went after that." "It's out of character for you to be this talkative." "This is me." "What about Lee Shin-Jeok?" "I sent it." "It will be hard for him not to come." "Is that Milbon's command?" "Tonight, participating in the meeting and meeting Bonwon... is the command." "Then, Bonwon.. really..." "Do you mean Jeong Ki Joon?" "Don't go, Your Excellency." "It was several decades ago." "What do you lack to re-enter Milbon?" "Instead, use this opportunity and earn a merit by knocking away Milbon." "I thought about it too." "However, I can't." "Why?" "It is because of the Milbon pledge." "What is the last will of that traitor?" "Isn't it just a piece of paper?" "If it was only that, why would I be thinking so hard?" "Teacher..." "TeacherwastheguardwarriorofMilbon ." "So... youhidyourselfall along?" "The thing my teacher concealed was this Milbon's pledge." "Thenthiscameintomyhands ." "The pocket!" "Father's will!" "Whatisthis?" "Well, whatever it is, it doesn't matter to me." "You saw, right?" "His Majesty... was putting on interesting looking clothing." "Right?" "It looks like he's planning something fun." "That's why you have to be more careful." "What do you mean by being careful?" "Last time, in the royal garden, His Majesty said to the Chief Guard, "You punk!"" "and then he lied facedown." "I was about to die holding in my laughter." "Anyway, I'll tell you everything I saw later." "By the way," "I saw that among herbs there was halyeoncho (yerba) and ginseng." "Can you get me some if there is any leftovers?" "You're trying to use it to shampoo your hair, right?" "Why?" "To shampoo your hair with that, is it really good?" "Didn't you know?" "It is also written in Hangyakjipsungbang that was released by His Majesty." "Yes, His Majesty recorded them as freshening herbs, medicine to vitalize a person." "He pointed out Halyeoncho (yerba)." "Really?" "Can you get me some too?" "Come on..." "But... what's going on tonight?" "That I don't really know either." "Ask the King." "Well, anyway, you can continue the explanation that was given yesterday." "His Majesty took the shape of enunciation and formed the alphabet." "Is everything ready?" "Yes." "Why are you like that?" "Your Highness," "I cannot understand this at all with my limited ideas." "Do you understand it, Your Highness?" "Only..." "I trust my Father." "Your Majesty, why" "I, too, am going to watch and learn." "Begin." "Pleaseforgiveus ." "Your Majesty, where should I do it?" "The mouth and the neck." "Why?" "Why?" "It seems to take longer than expected." "Sir." "Right-State Minister, why are you here in this time of night?" "Where is His Majesty?" "I wish to see him for a moment." "His Majesty?" "Your Majesty." "Oh.." "What brings you here at this time?" "Haven't you gone yet?" "Yes, Your Majesty?" "Actually..." "Why are you like that, go ahead and talk." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I had something to say, but since it is late in the night," "I will say it tomorrow morning." "That's fine." "The Right-State Minister... didn't it look like he noticed our work?" "If so, he wouldn't have left just like that." "I cannot go to heaven." "I will fall to hell!" "Why are you like this?" "What's going on?" "Why do you cry?" "Scholar!" "I don't understand." "How can His Majesty do that kind of thing?" "Can you understand, Scholar Official?" "What happened?" "His Majesty..." "What about His Majesty?" "On a corpse, he dissected it." "Dissect?" "You didn't know?" "Explain everything!" "This is the organ for breathing." "This is the esophagus for swallowing food." "The narrow passage is possibly..." "Looks like where the sound comes from." "This is... where the throat sound, "hooh" sound comes from." "Did you send a message to the monk, Sooji in Ihneumsa?" "Yes." "Without any flaws.." "I'll ask him to perform his funeral." "Okay." "But Your Majesty, can this servant know what exactly you are doing?" "Your servant can more accurately.." "Come on..." "There is no need for the likes of you to know." "Oh..." "I've commited an offense deserving of death." "No." "You make sense." "Are you out there So Yi?" "Okay." "Because of me, she lost her father." "She lost her speech since." "For that child," "I am doing this to open her mouth." "SoYi?" "It is because of So Yi?" "So Yi, say the "na" sound." "Did you see?" "Yes?" "When you prounce "na" sound, the tongue will touch the roof of the mouth." "So, I am trying to learn the tongue shape for each sound and let her practice." "But the pronounciation isn't exact." "So I am studying the body structure of articulation." "I am trying to learn the method of making sound." "Garion... do you think he believed you?" "Do you think I fooled him?" "The words I told Garion..." "It was also my sincerity." "Practice." "I asked you to practice whenever possible." "Here..." "The tongue sound, pronounce "dah..."" ""Dah!"" "Look closely So Yi." ""Dah..."" "YourMajesty" "Don'tgiveyourselftrouble..." "Did you find the reason?" "It is for the servant girl, So Yi." "What?" "So Yi holds the secret?" "Even Sung Sam-Moon and Park Paeng Nyun do not know about it, but a mere court maiden holds the secret?" "It is a lie." "So Yi probably doesn't know what she's being used for and what errands she's running." "It is that secretive and a mission of that magnitude." "What about the plan?" "It is all ready." "[ Boarding house of SungKyunKwan ]" "You cannot bring a warrior with you." "Wait here." "Yes." "Follow us." "His Majesty, the King is coming." "That man is the former official of Hamgildo." "WasheMilbon?" "You've worked hard coming here from far away." "We've come to meet in the name of Milbon..." "Where is Bonwon?" "Sir Haegang?" "When is Bonwon coming?" "Your Majesty, is it true?" "Did you dissect the corpse to look at the organ of articulation?" "Your Majesty, even the uneducated citizens do not commit such a deed." "How can Your Majesty who is so versed in Confucianism do such a thing?" "What does the dissection have anything to do with making writing?" "It's just Your Majesty's obsession." "Your alphabet is already great." "It's your obsession, of having to see and touch everything in person, that led to such a brutality." "Isn't it so?" "That's right." "You can call it obsession." "Stop talking and..." "Your Majesty." "I am a judge." "Working on the basis of trust and understanding." "I cannot believe in that which no one can understand." "However, this humble subject dares to request an understanding from Your Majesty." "I, too, request of you." "We, too, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "This servant, too, cannot understand." "Why did you need to see the autopsy drawing?" "What is it for?" "Did you just mention trust?" "Trust is not only based on undersanding..." "You all know what I have done so far." "Are you saying you cannot believe me?" "Can't you just follow my way?" "There are things that are too hard to explain!" "Please explain, Your Majesty." "Isn't it hard to explain?" "But, you must." "With all your strength, you must explain." "Did you say these letters are amazing?" "Obviously they are." "No." "They aren't." "These letters... have fatal weakness." "Bonwon hasn't come yet?" "He's coming!" "After Sir Sam-Bong, Jeong Do-Jeon, established Joseon and then was murdered by the thief Lee Bang-Won, it has been 48 years." "Although he has passed, the teacher, who has left us Milbon with deeper roots, can be seen here." "There is nothing happier." "Despite oppression and surveillance, the fact that Joseon's students who can resurrect the teacher's intentions exist..." "Joseon has hope." "Yes, Joseon is not the King's land." "I declare here that it is the country of scholars." "Joseon's foundation, established by teacher Sambong, in order to protect it, we must all gather our capabilities in one place." "What do you mean by one place?" "What kind of strength do we have to gather?" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "That is... to start from closing down Jiphyunjeon." "Jiphyunjeon scholar officials monopolize lessons with King." "Jiphyunjeon's research is embraced above other government officials and branches." "On top of that is the King Lee Do!" "We are going to keep the Parliament system." "You are Bonwon indeed." "LeeShinJeok" "To see Bonwon's esteemed face in person like this brings me immeasurable emotions." "Teacher Sambong's high intentions will be realized as Bonwon, as you intended." "However, I dare to advise Bonwon." "The dying testament filled with teacher Sambong's aim..." "please read us the Milbon pledge." "Teacher Sambong's dying will?" "Wasthisthereasonincominghere?" "JeongKiJoon..." "I am not such an easy opponent for you." "Please show us." "Show us!" "Show us!" "If the king... is a flower, then the root is the minister." "A sickly flower does not cause the tree to die." "However, a sickly root will cause the tree to die." "The King is merely a fancy symbol of the tree called Joseon." "And Joseon's root is the minister." "Therefore, all you aristocrats, become this Joseon's root." "Become Milbon (hidden root)." "Safeguard Joseon." "Whydon'tyoutakeitoutto read?" "Don'tyouhavethe pledgewith you?" "What do you mean by the fatal weakness?" "What do you think the difference is of Chinese characters and our alphabet?" "Chinese characters have taken thousands of years to complete." "Our alphabet was made within just 10 years." "In addition, millions made the Chinese characters." "As for our alphabet, we are the only people." "They were not developed naturally." "Exactly!" "Chinese characters went through thousands of years." "From person to person, from father to son." "From that son to yet again his son." "The characters were made after going through all those years." "But our letters... artificially built." "The process is the most fatal weakness of our letters." "Several million people made the letters together, it has the commonality." "However, our letters are different." "However, what is the relation between the commonality and the autopsy?" "Since I am trying to maintain the biggest commonalities on the Earth, the nature's rule." "Why do you think I have tried to make the alphabet strictly based on the sounds?" "Sound is nature and the principles of making sound is also the nature's rule." "No, NO!" "We can forget all of this!" "Instead of simply copying the unknown letters from other countries," "these letters... are like my tongue, like my vocal cords, like my teeth!" "I wish these to become the ones for the people of the country." "Why do sailors believe in superstition?" "Since they have to face the ocean, that immense nature." "I, too, must face it." "The people." "Immense... people." "I wanted to believe." "If I make alphabets this way," "the people of the country will use them." "Those beliefs." "But is this... wrong?" "To Heaven, Earth, Man, and we dedicate this to teacher Sambong." "Then... does the Milbon pledge exist?" "You don't have it then, the Milbon pledge?" "You don't have it?" "Sir Haegang, do you put your great cause in the likes of a Milbon pledge?" "Isn't the great cause in teacher Sambong's aim?" "I was teacher Sambong's top disciple." "How wouldn't I know?" "When the King first made Jiphyunjeon," "I, too, was fooled." "Unlike Lee Bang Won, he did not shake away the State Council." "However, Lee Do used Jiphyunjeon to change the system itself." "The Jiphyunjeon that exists now only exists to allow the King to do whatever he wants." "To offer foundation for his reasoning." "Jiphyunjeon has been ruling the forums and discharging the four academies." "Emitting the high officials with King's reasonings." "Teacher Sambong, why did he restrict the King's authority?" "It was for the people." "Lee Do could be an amazing King and that's why it's even more dangerous." "What will happen to the next King?" "And the King after?" "When we have a king who only fills his own selfish interests and desires?" "So that's why Sambong Teacher established the system." "However, Lee Do shrewdly changed the core of the system altogether." "And that will ruin Joseon." "No, it's already ruining it." "The King is already commiting something the high officials and ministers don't know about." "We don't even know anything." "However, that piece of scrap, and yet you claim there is a great cause in the Milbon pledge?" "Don't you know why?" "I also want everyone to gather under the foundation of Milbon." "Hence," "I will relate the desire of the veteran members." "In four days, show us the Milbon pledge." "We will then, without any noise, do as you intend." "We are not like this because we fear death." "History always remembers the last." "Mine, as well as the scholars who follow me, our last image, we don't want it be as traitors." "On that day, you must... have the Milbon pledge." "Look at me." "Look at me, please." "Look at me please." "What have you been busy drawing?" "The drawing to catch Milbon." "What exactly are you doing this for?" "Look at me please." "In the end, I must have the Milbon pledge?" "The kid owner of the pouch took the Milbon pledge." "Garion!" "The cows came."

"That's why it's called destiny." "The destiny to catch Milbon." "Why do you even crack a smile for that kind of destiny?" "So, what are you going to do?" "I should fish them out." "With this?" "Perhaps, as soon as they see the drawing, they may go crazy." "Why does this piglet always sleep here?" "How can that be?" "Only Ddol Bok knows about the character of fortune on the pouch."

"Even it is incorrectly written." "This is it!" "How is it?" "It is peculiar!" "It's unique." "It's pretty." "Truly?" "Was it really Ddol Bok?" "Other letters are all made out of straight lines, whereas the gutteral sound has round shape and it feels quite different." "That's right." "I took a look." "Since throat is a round shape," "I made them this way." "So then, this is the glottal sound?" "That is correct." "This is the aspirated glottal." "Voiceless." "Voiced." "Your Highness," "I sincerely congratulate you!" "As of this, all the letters have been made!" "That's right." "Congratulations!" "Now, if these letters can express all the sounds from this country..." "Once that's been verified through the census survey..." "At Mt." "Mokmyeok at 1 am tomorrow, what should I do?" "We just need to... verify it." "Why are you like that, So Yi?" "Don't you like them?" "Your Majesty, does that mean So Yi is able to write her name?" "That's right." "Here..." "Here you go!" "How do you like it?" "That's right." "That characer 'bok' is only known to Ddol Bok." "Your Majesty." "My name also contains the gluttal sound." "Please write it." "Everyone please go out for a moment." "I have something to talk to So Yi." "Why are you like that?" "What is bugging you?" "Nothing is." "They are quite simple and pretty." "But why do you look ill?" "Tell me." "Your Majesty." "Tonight, I would like to visit Garion to ask about the phonectic organ and to practice making sounds more." "Please allow me." "Is this the truth?" "Do you really want to talk again?" "Okay." "Go ahead!" "Why wouldn't you want to say your own name too?" "Fine." "Was this really stuck there?" "What's happening here?" "This can't be a coincidence." "This is Ddol Bok, that punk." "Looking at the time and the place, it must be an exchange." "Heaven seems to be on your side, Bonwon." "How come it shows off on the right time?" "Is it possibly a trick?" "If it is a trick, did you imply Lee Shin-Jeok?" "Although he has the highest possibilities, we don't know about the rest of the five people." "Those people cannot know about this character bok." "Of course, I think so too but..." "We have to get ready for the risk." "Yes!" "Of course!" "There is nothing bad about being prepared." "If Ddol Bok appears," "Milbon's pledge shows up..." "If the person saw the Milbon's pledge, we can not let him live." "Let Pyeong get ready quickly." "To get ready for an unknown situation, call Ggeoksoe." "You mean, Ggeoksoe?" "It seems like Ddol Bok appeared." "Was it posted here and there?" "Yes." "It is 1 am today." "Bring people there in advance to check out the area." "It is an order for you to be placed there" "Yes!" "Right after getting back the letter, you must get rid of him." "Check it thoroughly." "Yes." "I will do as you command." "Something like what happened last time can never repeat again." "Do you get it?" "Bonwon will not forgive you twice!" "Yes." "You guys should decide the cut-off point." "Yes!" "Team A goes this way." "Team B takes charge over there." "The rest will be hiding nearby the pavilion." "Follow me." "Yes." "Hurry up!" "Yes." "Hey, Chae Yoon." "Chae Yoon!" "Hey!" "How come you are dozing off here?" "Why don't you go to check the area in advance?" "I'm not going today." "What?" "Certainly those scums will bring many warriors and place the snipers and so on." "Why should I go?" "Then, why did you ask them to meet you there?" "At least, I should relate my intention, shouldn't I?" "Come over here." "Stay there." "Subtitles brought to you by the Deep Rooted Friends team @ viki . com" "I knew it." "Have only one person here or else," "I won't come." "It seems like a very important item so, if you want to have it bring three hundred yang." "I will contact you again so wait." "If you show up with your gangs next time again," "I will burn all of them and disappear." "He will do that and then some." "Considering what he was like as a child." "What should we do?" "That punk has nothing to lose but we do." "We'll have to listen to him." "What about Ggeoksoe?" "Brother." "Brother Ggeoksoe!" "We must go to Hanyang together." "Elder Bonwon is looking for you." "What?" "You lied to the King!" "So, please help me." "You are the only ones I can lean on." "Didn't you say that he's dead?" "But she said she didn't see his body back then." "I'm sorry but..." "He can't be alive." "You too." "He's a slave who even broke out of prison." "That's right." "Even though we know your situation well, but... even though he's alive you can't meet him." "And how do you know it's him?" "It can be someone who doesn't know writing." "Or it could be kids fooling around." "Then... what about Mt." "Mokmyeok and 1 am?" "No matter what, I don't like you being obssessed by it." "That's right." "Have you forgotten what kind of important work you are doing?" "You must not forget what it means to His Majesty." "So just forget." "You deserve death if a court lady meets a guy." "And also you've already lied to the King." "You should forget it!" "I think so too." "Isn't it the past?" "Why did you make the pouch again to chew it over and over again?" "That's right." "I think that too." "Just forget it." "Just forget and live." "I... don't have the ability to forget." "I... don't have the ability to forget anything." "That day with Oppa, the word-game sequence we played." "The shape of the spider web at the corner inside the royal prison." "The color of the ribbon worn by the young court girl who delivered the letter." "Even the pattern of the roof tile on the stone wall where my father and I were separated." "Everything!" "I can draw everything that happened." "Forget it?" "There is no way to forget it." "Do you know how much I want to kill myself?" "I get it." "We'll help you!" "Your Majesty, your diabetes is getting worse." "Then you must give me better medicines." "No matter how much medicine I give you, how can you get better when you don't sleep?" "Then how long will I live?" "Your Majesty..." "If I am to die after I finish setting this work into motion," "I will need at least five years." "You take the responsibility." "Your Majesty, a human life cannot be controlled." "You must rest and sleep more." "You should read books less." "That's enough." "Shouldn't you be able to fix my illness without having to do all that, since you're an esteemed doctor?" "If you don't allow me to do anything, anyone can treat it." "What if I... reduce the intake of meat?" "Your Majesty." "Okay, I get it." "Please devote to it heart and soul." "You've worked hard." "You may go out." "Yes, Your Majesty." "If you're going to nag more, then just go out." "I am not telling you those things." "Did you become sulky?" "Your Majesty." "Why do you treat me like a jealous woman?" "Okay, okay." "I'm sorry." "Actually," "I'm doing this because I'm very happy." "Why?" "So Yi said she wants to learn to speak." "Did she?" "Wasn't it so hard too when we first taught her characters?" "However, after she learned to write, she became very passionate." "You are right." "Right.." "Isn't it another hope that she wants to learn to speak?" "I'm happy about that." "I knew you'd be here." "You mean the pitiful punk should be stuffed with chestnuts?" "Spit it out." "Spit it out!" "Hurry up and spit out!" "Dong-dong-ju (rice wine)." "Ju-meo-ni (pocket)." "Pocket?" "You've lost, right?" "There is nothing that starts with Ni." "See, I told you, punk!" "Hurry and run away, rascal." "Let's go." "Orabeoni!" "(brother, may or may not be a kin)" "Hurry up and go!" "Hurry!" "Did you post all of them?" "I posted all on my side." "Will they come this time again?" "Don't doubt." "They will show up for sure." "Alright." "Ddol bok..." "Isn't it you?" "Is it just... a joke?" "To Bonwon," "I related our intention." "Did he say that he will bring the Milbon's pledge?" "He promised he will." "It's not that I don't understand teacher Sambong..." "His Majesty, obviously has had a peaceful reign." "What are you going to do about the next reign?" "How can we rest the great work of a nation upon one person's disposition and competence?" "Teacher Sambong wanted us to be vigilant in that." "Don't you know that?" "I am also aware of it; but" "Sir Haegang, you also, before the reconstruction of Milbon, raised the Milbon pledge as your condition, right?" "I am trying to guard my own safety." "Do you mean I raised that condition for that?" "I have already lived long enough." "However, many scholar's lives are depended on my decision." "Yeah.." "Fiveinthemorning." "So Yi didn't come." "Still?" "Uh huh!" "How dare a mere court lady stay out at this late hours?" "Do you think something happened to So Yi?" "I'll go outside and check." "So Yi!" "What happened?" "Do you know how much we were worried?" "Did you meet?" "So Yi..." "AtSongjukjeong, 1 am on the 3rd day." "Elder..." "There was another poster!" "This time, it is at Songjukjeong." "What happened?" "Did you meet?" "No one came." "She thinks it's probably a coincidence." "She said she won't go out anymore." "What do you mean from now on?" "We saw another poster on the way back." "What?" "Okay." "Let's try to forget." "About the open (voiceless) glottal His Majesty made." "how is that phonated exactly?" "Oh, you mean that." "Yes, from that aspirated and that voiced sound, we can't seem to distinguish them well." "For that, you'll need to go by the well side." "By the well?" "Well that's..." "After you gulp down a gourd-full of water, that sound of your breath that sound." "Let's go to the well." "Last night, you were at Jungyunahm, weren't you?" "Your Excellency!" "Please watch your words!" "Please relate my wish to Bonwon." "In four days time, he must show us the Milbon pledge." "Were you someone who would abandon the great cause we've embraced just because that's not here?" "A person, no matter who, changes depending on the situation." "You should as well, join me." "Make a good judgement on it." "[ Banchon ]" "Where's Ggeotsoe?" "He has arrived." "Only Ggeotsoe is to go to Songjukjeong." "You go there with five top guys." "When Ddol Bok and Ggeotsoe meet... you must kill him." "Yes." "What if someone else than Ddol Bok comes?" "What do we do then?" "Even so, it would only be a roughneck." "Nothing Pyeong can't handle." "The moment you get ahold of Milbon pledge... you must kill him." "They'll try to kill me." "Because..." "I saw the Milbon pledge." "They'll try to kill everyone who's seen it." "What the heck is it, that everyone's going nuts over it?" "I don't know what the heck it means no matter how I look at it." "Whatever it is, it doesn't matter." "It won't be just one guy coming for sure." "So what are you going to do?" "First, once he shows up at Songjukjeong, I'll send him to Woojungahm." "Then, after that, to Yangsu valley." "And after that..." "You mean to ditch a few punks with every move?" "That's why you want to move around a few times!" "Hey, you know how to tally pretty fast!" "Let's go." "11:24PM" "Your Majesty, it's past 3 kyeong." "Please go to bed." "So Yi, this aspirated sound you do it by opening the airflow." "Ddol Bok is... dead." "If you pull your chin down, your throat opens up." "Have a look at it well." "Tah, Kah, Pah!" "Why don't you try it?" "Ddol Bok is... dead." "That isn't it." "Pull out the sound all the way." ""Ta!" "Ta!"" ""Ta..."" "So Yi..." "Why are you like this?" "Is it because it isn't going the way you want?" "Or perhaps, that I said I wanted to find your voice again... has it become a burden?" "Aren't we working hard?" "It will turn out well." "I think I must meet Garion again." "Okay." "Go ahead." "12:12AM" "Are you outside, Moo Hyul?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I must meet Garion right now." "Get ready to leave." "Yes." "Is So Yi there?" "Wasn't So Yi with you, Your Majesty?" "She said she was going to Banchon but she wasn't there." "If she isn't at her room either." "Where did she go?" "She'd probably be back soon." "What is it?" "Tell what you know." "Your Majesty." "That's..." "What is it?" "It looks like So Yi went out to meet someone." "Who?" "Well, that... yesterday, she saw the poster plastered outside." "She said it was posted by that person." "Yes." "We told her not to go but..." "Who is it?" "Who is that person?" "A person she knew when she was young, Ddol Bok." "At last, this day has come." "That's right." "I couldn't hide it forever." "Though I knew this would come..." "Your Majesty." "The one they have yearned so dearly has been so close to them... how can I stop them." "Your Majesty, if Kang Chae Yoon meets So Yi, then we don't know how they'll move." "She said Songjukjeong." "Bring So Yi and Kang Chae Yoon to me." "Your Majesty." "To both of them," "I will tell everything." "Why isn't he coming?" "What?" "Something is strange." "It seems there are assassins deployed here and there." "Assassins?" "Find the best location." "And wait in ambush." "Yes." "He's here!" "But doesn't he look like an old man?" "You go to Woojungahm first." "What about you?" "I need to tell those punks to go to Woojungahm." "It's past 3 kyeong 5 point." "He must be nearby." "Ggeoksoe ahjussi?" "What's that woman?" "Who are you?" "Why is that court maiden here?" "What should we do?" "Catch them all!" "Moo Hyul." "Why are you like this?" "Who are you that you're chasing me?" "Mister, it's me." "Dahm." "What are you doing?" "Let go!" "It's Dahm!" "How would I know characters?" "Why don't you pronounce the tongue sound, Da." "Tongue sound." "The tongue touches the palate." "Da... da.. da!" "Da?" "Mi... mi!" "Da... mi..." "Dahm?" "By chance you are Dahm?" "You're alive!" "You've been alive!" "What brings you here?" "Please help me." "I can only trust you." "This man does not read characters, please read my words to him." "Yes, I will." "Ahjussi, the character "bok"..." "Did you paste it?" "No, not me." "Do you know that "bok" character too?" "It's what was written on the pouch I made for Ddok Bok when I was little." "That character." "So Yi knows Ddol bok?" "I'm sorry." "She asks you how you knew "bok" character and came." "I somehow survived and lived in hiding." "Few years ago, someone came to me." "He came knowing I used to be a slave at Lord Shim Ohn's household." "He said he was looking for Ddol Bok." "He said the article left by his deceased father and Ddol Bok's luck pouch were switched." "Luck pouch?" "You don't get involved and just run away!" "Hurry and go, Ddol Bok!" "He wanted to find his father's keepsake no matter what, so if I were to meet Ddok Bok by chance, he wanted me to contact him no matter what." "So a few days ago, when I saw the poster, I thought it might be Ddol Bok so I came out." "DdolBokis reallyalive?" "Really?" "She wants to ask who were the people out there?" "I don't know." "But you or me or Ddol Bok, we're all bodies that should not be alive." "Even if Ddok Bok was there and someone came after him... it's not really anything strange." "Though I don't know the story, maybe he was being chased by a slave hunter or some government troop?" "Probably." "He must have riled up all his courage to put out the poster." "But since things are turning out like this," "I don't think he will ever show up again." "There is a way to call Ddol Bok." "What is that?" "What happened?" "From what I saw they looked like the Royal Guard Troop." "And who is that girl?" "I'll have to search around the palace once it's daylight." "Milbon?" "That man who leaped around the palace when Scholar Yoon Pil was murdered was at the scene." "What about So Yi?" "She was there, but we lost her." "I'm sorry." "What about Kang Chae Yoon?" "Did you see him?" "He wasn't there." "Then it wasn't Kang Chae Yoon." "It was Milbon's doing?" "From the circumstances, it seems so." "Then does that mean, they were after So Yi?" "They knew about the "bok" character..." "I don't know that much yet." "Father, you must find So Yi!" "Yes, Your Majesty, you are well aware how important So Yi is to the alphabet making." "Of course." "Royal Troop Commander, dispatch the troops secretly and figure out So Yi's whereabouts." "Also, bring Kang Chae Yoon first thing in the morning." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "I can finally meet Ddol Bok orabeoni." "[ Mt." "Gye-Eon." "Ma-ui. 3 kyeong ]" "The sun is rising from the left side." "The direction we're headed is... south." "214." "215." "216." "Chae Yoon!" "A poster is up!" "I told you to get rid of this pig." "Why is he always sleeping here?" "What poster?" "Hey, that luck pouch." "That's up again." "To the right of Sungjukjeong." "Before 3 kyeong, look through any possible hideouts." "Commander, a poster has been plastered." "Mt." "Gye-Eon." "Ma-Ui?" "Mt." "Gye-Eon." "Ma-Ui?" "It's Mt." "Gye-Eon this time." "Mt." "Gye-Eon." "But what's Ma-Ui?" "What are you going to do?" "Are you going to go?" "Last night, with the Royal Guard Troop too..." "It could be a trap actually." "What are you two scheming alone again?" "You go to the palace, and how the Royal Guard Troop ended up at Sungjukjung last night, find that out." "What?" "Royal Guard Troop went to Sungjukjung?" "But why did they go there?" "You lazy pig." "He's asking you because he doesn't know, you know!" "What is going on again?" "6,124 footsteps." "Roughly 7 Li (li = 500 meters) of distance." "We turned once to the northeast and twice to the west." "And the river wind, accordingly, this is the foot of the mountain on the northeast end of Mt." "Hoemyeong." "Begin ascent." "1, 2, 3." "First and foremost, we need to grasp the geography of Mt." "Gye-Eon." "You go to Mt." "Gye-Eon first." "Okay, I got it." "But where is Mt." "Gye-Eon?" "You don't know?" "I don't know either." "The Chiljeongsan interior compilation has been finished." "Hence, we would like to begin on Chiljeongsan exterior." "Alright." "As you work on compiling on the exterior, check whether there were any errors made in the interior compilations." "Go over it again thoroughly." "Then, the details, in another time... let's then discuss it." "What's happening?" "What do you mean?" "From the morning, royal guards act differently." "What on earth happening?" "Well." "I have no idea." "Chief Scholar." "These days, there are too many secret things going on around His Majesty." "Even Jiphyunjeon doesn't know about it." "Mt." "Gye Eon..." "Ma Ui..." "Where the heck is the Mt." "Gye Eon?" "I haven't ever heard of its name." "Ma Ui..." "Doesn't that refer to the horse doctor who treats horses at Sabokshi carriage house?" "But..." "Who posted this letter?" "People who know about the character bok... are only Kang Chae-Yoon and So Yi." "And Milbon appeared there." "Either Kang Chae-Yoon or" "So-Yi is" "Milbon?" "Find the whereabout of Kang Chae Yoon!" "Also, the most important thing is to find about this Mt." "Gye-Eon and Ma Ui." "Where's the Chief Scholar?" "Starting now, Chief Scholar... search through all maps of the eight provinces and find out where Mt." "Gye-Eon is." "Find the location named Ma Ui." "and report it to me." "As for the explanation," "I will do it for you." "Northeast of Mt." "Hoemyeong" "Nearby riverside of Hwasae river." "The margin of error is... within 400 steps." "about half a Li." "This is the contact place where only Ddol-bok and the court lady know?" "However, about where the mountain Gye Eon is..." "I have no clue." "In addition, about the meaning of Ma-Ui..." "Mt." "Gye-Eon, Ma-Ui and 1 am..." "Doesn't he mean to meet at Mt.Gye-Eon at 3 kyeong and 5 point tonight?" "Isn't it the right time for us to press hard upon the court lady So-Yi?" "Of course, we have to..." "Does your wrist hurt?" "Where is Mt." "Gye-Eon?" "Are you people" "Milbon?" "Regarding the Mt." "Gye-Eon and Ma-Ui, if you won't tell the meaning, you'll die right here." "If I die, then you won't be able to find the item you are looking for." "Then, I don't think it is my loss." "We can do torture." "You have never experienced it before." "You will experience extreme pain." "You people won't even be able to imagine what kind of pain I'm going through right now." "Pain?" "Why don't you try it." "Find the location name, Mt." "Gye-Eon." "It doesn't have to be a mountain." "Just find any word with it." "The old name could be Gye-Eon." "Find all the words with similar sounds." "In addition, find everthing related to Ma-Ui, location name, custom, everything." "What are you doing, Your Majesty?" "I'm breaking down and regrouping the characters." "It could be a secret code." "Or it could be the stroke count." "Or maybe not the meaning of the character, but a code using the sounds." "What are you doing?" "Don't we need to find her immediately?" "!" "Even the King's working on it!" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Hey!" "It's not like something will pop out from here." "Mt." "Gye-Eon." "Mt." "Gye-Eon and Ma-Ui." "Instead of doing this, why don't you post the letter again?" "We're holding the hilt." "Why don't we post a new location?" "They are going to suspect from now." "Since the royal guards were at the meeting location, those scum will tense up." "Those Milbon scum!" "Why did they have to make all this difficult?" "Hey,Chae-Yoon!" "Don't you think it is weird?" "The only thing Milbon needs is this." "They need to meet you to take it away from you." "Why did they leave a secret code that you can't decipher?" "It's got to be one or the other." "One or the other?" "It wasn't left for me or it wasn't Milbon." "Who left it to me?" "How did you know that?" "Who do you think I am?" "I have my source to know that." "Hey, tell me!" "Why did you guys turn out at Songjukjeong last night?" "Seriously..." "You're a ghost!" "A court lady is missing..." "A court lady?" "Who?" "So-Yi!" "So-Yi?" "The court lady who serves the Prince Gwang-Pyung?" "Hey, where is Kang Chae-Yoon?" "The Commander of the Royal Troops is looking for him." "I heard that he didn't come to the court." "What happened?" "Who?" "Chae..." "Yoon?" "Kang..." "Kang Chae Yoon?" "Won't you speak straight at once!" "Well what happened with that..." "He's running a secret investigation." "Secret investigation?" "At the marketplace, a drawing of a strange looking luck pouch appeared." "And about that... !" "It's linked to Milbon." "Still, you mean?" "That court maiden So Yi won't open her mouth at all." "Shouldn't we find out even if we use torture?" "I don't think torturing her will do it." "Isn't she just a girl?" "You can't handle a mere girl?" "The sun is already setting." "It says 3 kyeong 5 points." "What are we to do?" "Bonwon!" "Call Ggeotsoe to come." "To do what?" "You're trying to wet the cloth to undo your hand?" "Unless it gets doused with water, how will that do?" "I've brought a person who you want to see." "Ahjussi." "How?" "Yes, alright." "Kang Chae-Yoon has been moving after seeing the poster." "Of course he would." "If he saw the character Bok, of course he would." "Your Majesty." "These are locations related to Ma-Ui." "Since Ma-Ui easily refers to Sabokshi carriage house," "I've brought all the documents linked to Sabokshi." "As well as those related to Taebukshi used in previous dynasty, Goryeo." "I've gathered them all." "What on earth?" "However, regarding what it stands for..." "I have no idea." "Dammit!" "Your Majesty!" "It passed 11 pm." "We have no time." "It was Milbon." "Milbon saved me and the one that kept me alive until now, is Milbon as well, So Yi." "I don't know anything about that so called "great cause" or something." "I just lost my arm but you just lost your speech." "My lord, madam and young master..." "That punk..." "Dolsoe and your father Geulseong..." "Ddolbok's father SeokSam!" "Everyone died without any sins." "It was all due to the King's order." "All their corpses laid unmended..." "You know very well that all the bodies were eaten by the crows." "These people..." "They are just interested in that item." "They are not interested in you or Ddolbok." "So, just tell them." "This kid Ddolbok," "I don't know how he has lived up to now, but it won't be an honorable life regardless." "If you don't get to see him this time, it could be the last." "Those people can find their stuff, and you can meet Ddol-bok." "It is good, isn't it?" "Bring the people." "I will bring them to Mt." "Gye-Eon." "You've thought well." "By the time we get down the mountains we'll let you see." "Foot of Mt." "Hoemyeong." "Direction is southeast." "24." "25, 26." "There is none, Your Majesty." "Neither from Goryeo Dynasty's old geography names, nor in our language noted in the orthography, there is no location called Mt." "Gye-Eon." "Regarding Ma-Ui, I also couldn't find any link." "Did you see them correctly?" "Each and every character compared thoroughly?" "You said you looked at them many times?" "Are you sure you didn't just skim through?" "Your Majesty!" "We are not So Yi, so we couldn't memorize them." "How would we have just looked at them haphazardly?" "Crap!"

"Court maiden So Yi went missing." "That's why they all went out." "What, So Yi?" "The commander of royal troops went out just to find one court maiden?" "So that was So Yi?" "But that woman... then..." "She was court maiden So Yi then." "What are you two talking about right now?" "Could it be?" "What's this?" "Mt." "Gye-Eon." "Ma..." "Ui?" "Hey, Po, what do you think it means?" "Mt." "Gye-Eon?" "But there is no Mt." "Gye-Eon." "And Ma Ui..." "Doesn't that mean Ni Ma?" "Ni Ma?" "Yup!" "They call Ma-Ui (horse doctor) a Ni-Ma, right?" "Those guys who treat horses." "Right." "Hey, Chae Yoon!" "So there is a word that starts with Ni afterall!" "Ni-ma (nickname for horse doctor)." "You lost, right?" "There is no Ni, right?" "Character Gye..." "Then this..." "What about this Gye character." "It means like linking, of course." "Gye as in 'linking'..." "Eo for 'word'?" "Where we played word-link game... that back hill?" "When I was little, because of my childishness..." "my father and people I loved all died." "You know how I memorize everything after seeing it once, whether it's a word or a picture." "After seeing once," "I can memorize anything." "Dahm!" "Dahm!" "It's okay if you don't know what's with that?" "Hey, Chae Yoon!" "Hey, is that something so bad?" "Where is Kang Chae Yoon's home?" "It's that way, but what is it about?" "Oh, he's coming, there." "Kang Chae Yoon!" "Orabeoni." "You must come." "Dahm has been alive?" "She's So Yi?" "That man..." "Why?" "Dahm!" "Dahm!" "Dahm!" "Dahm!" "Orabeoni." "You must come." "Dahm..." "Dahm has been alive?" "She is So Yi?" "[Episode 13]" "That man, why?" "Dahm..." "Dahm!" "Dahm!" "Dahm!" "To this humble servant, my father was my entire world." "However, when I was left alone suddenly, that was frightening, and the world that could kill my father without any reason or wrong, was very frightening." "Dahm..." "Are you Orabeoni?" "Are you really Orabeoni?" "Dahm!" "Are you really my Dahm?" "Kang Chae Yoon?" "Right now, you mean?" "Yes, about a Gak (15 minutes) ago, he took flight after pushing off the royal troop who tried to block him." "Officer Jeong is chasing after him with an army so we will receive word soon." "A Gak (15 min) ago, would mean close to 3 kyeong 5 point (1:00 am)" "It's likely that Kang Chae Yoon solved the Gye-Eon Mountain code and thus is moving." "Then..." "Court maiden So Yi as well?" "You must find them." "Royal Guard Troop?" "Royal Guard Troop is chasing after Kang Chae Yoon?" "Why?" "The reason is unknown." "But I put men to trail them for now." "You lost So Yi?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm told she suddenly jumped off a cliff." "Hence, we ran an urgent search, and found a hair ribbon that belongs to So Yi." "They couldn't even handle one chick?" "Bonwon!" "Send Jeongmoo Troop." "( Milbon military )" "We must find her." "I will have it done." "Maksoo." "How are you here?" "Kang Chae Yoon is being chased by Royal Guard Troop." "He's hiding in this mountain." "Kang Chae Yoon is?" "Are you really Ddol Bok Orabeoni?" "Really?" "Dahm." "Why can't you talk?" "How did it happen?" "Why can't you talk?" "You really, really can't talk?" "Is it... because of the trauma from then?" "It's true." "Mister Ggeolsang died before your eyes." "And you saw all your companions die in front of you at your young age." "Then... something else happened?" "What happened?" "What else happened, Dahm?" "You don't even remember?" "Dahm...!"

"Myeongwoon Mountain would be... near Hanjit village where the late Lord Shim Ohn used to live." "Yes, it seems likely Chae Yoon saw the cipher So Yi left and began his movement."

"So you don't have the Milbon pledge, Jeong Gi Joon." "Everyone, including me, that great will was embraced by all of us gathered here." "That's precisely, what is written in Milbon pledge, is it not?" "Do you have the Milbon pledge, or do you not have it?" "Bonwon!" "Show it to us."

"You scums' empty reputations and security!" "Aren't those what matter more to you than Teacher Sambong's will?" "Is it or is it not?" "!" "You scum, as a Milbon, except for the order to rise within the royal court, did you do anything else?"

"However you scum, just let the King build Jiphyunjeon and make a mockery out of Kyeongyeon." "While he went and made a secret organization, carrying out work none of the branches know about, you did nothing." "Furthermore, the power to implement policies, by the ministers from the government branches, you've let the King who stood atop the Jiphyunjeon scholars, snatch them completely!"

"Since the middle phonemes, from the pronunciation organs, they are not linked to them whatsoever, right?" "Hence, I thought, since they are not linked anyway, use the law of nature."

"And also, my great cause." "So you're saying," "His Majesty's great cause is your great cause?" "Is that it?" "Yup." "Why?" "How?" "How does the cause of those higher-ups concern us?"

"We're slaves, Dahm." "So how does those people's great cause concern us?" "That's why it concerns us." "Those higher-ups, because they killed my father, your father, all of them, and that's why." "Those higher-ups' great cause, whether it will kill us or spare us, we must watch with our eyes wide open." "What?" "Let's go." "You must come with me too." "Orabeoni, you must do this work too." "And what is that?" "What exactly is that great cause that..." "The writing sytem is unbelievably easy to write and read." "That is a clear fact."

"Made with sounds of the people." "A writing system that the people can easily read and write." "I am in charge of a portion." "Hey, Dahm." "Do you think we suffered what we suffered because we didn't know writing?" "Or because I blamed you, saying you didn't know writing?" "So you had nightmares, and the King told you he would make you writing?" "It's not that." "If we knew writing, you think we wouldn't have suffered that?" "Even if we knew writing, those guys would've still done the deed, and we would've still suffered the same under a different method, you half-wit!"

"To say, "this is not bullshit" about my writing." "I need that judgement from you." "I apologize, Your Majesty." "Since you are talking so seriously... this humble man tried to listen diligently too." "But you looked so funny talking that bullshit so earnestly, I couldn't hold my laughter." "You bastard!" "Alphabet?" "Hey, Your Majesty... where would commoners get the time to learn writing?" "There isn't enough hours to work their backs to the bone trying to scrounge enough to pay taxes." "And what's the reason to learn in the first place?" "Will writing make rice?" "Will it make clothes or would it make them a noble?" "Well of course the nobles know writing." "But writing doesn't make nobles, right?" "People, you see... they die wrongful deaths from not knowing writing." "But people, you see... they can die solely from knowing writing too." "The lowly ones will die if they're beaten, but they will still die if they beat." "That is the logic of the world." "Therefore, stop lying." "They are wronged because they have no power." "They are not wronged because they don't know writing." "As if we won't suffer unfairly anymore once we know writing..." "Stop that deception!" "I am not deceiving!" "You are!" "Once they know writing, the commoners will gain strength too." "Rice doesn't appear but they will know more ways in making rice." "They won't become nobles, but they won't be so powerlessly bullied by the nobles." "Not true." "They won't gain power, they will just be used to ditch blame on, the commoners." "Why do you only think in that manner!" "It's because of this, Your Majesty." "The reason I came here to die today." "And the reason why your words are laughable too." "It's all because of this." "Your Majesty." "What is that?" "My father, as he was dying unfairly without committing any wrongs... the will he left me." "I AM NOT GUILTY!" "I DID NO WRONG!" "AVENGE MY GRUDGE!"

"Serve our master well." "And live well."" "How can it be so messed up?" "As he was dying without even knowing why he's dying, he blamed himself and he told me to learn writing and serve the master well." "Your Majesty!"

"I got beaten by my Father... and by Dahm over there," "I lost to the two of them." "They told me not to take revenge." "My Father and Dahm are both on your side." "So I thought this place was a great place to die and I came." "But even that doesn't go as I want..." "Goddamnit!" "Your Majesty." "I lost completely." "Let's fight." "Let's fight, Kang Chae Yoon." "The day I promulgate my writing..." "I shall pour you a royal drink myself." "Let's fight more," "KANG CHAE YOON!" "Kang Chae Yoon..." "Orabeoni!" "Don't go." "Don't go, Orabeoni." "Then, is Kang Chae Yoon linked to the work the King's doing?" "It seemed he didn't know about that work." "Why?" "I've made a copy of Kang Chae Yoon's investigation log." "If he knew about the work, Kang Chae Yoon would've shown his intent on it somehow." "Either to protect it or to get rid of it." "However, he didn't report it when he found the notes." "What notes?" "Goon Na Mi Yok." "Kang Chae Yoon took what Yoon Pil tried to burn and rid of, but he didn't report it." "Hence, we may add another note here." "Up until now, the notes we've managed to gather are..." "First, this Bibasaron sutra, the Buddhist scripture." "One of the ten sutras." "And next," "Gon Goo Gi Mang." "This is cypher completely unknown to us." "And also, there's the erotica from old nation of Yuan." "What Jang Seong Soo had." "Well, I personally am fond of it... but Jang Seong Soo..." "I am not so sure." "And the last..." "the dissection." "When you combine these three, there's one common factor among them." "What is that?" "It's against Neo-Confucianism." "And against facts." "And on top of that, this Goon Na Mi Yok, though it is grammatically incorrect, it means, why does the King try to be a Mireuk (stone statue)." "That is also against Neo-Confucianistic." "A King as a Mireuk is impossible." "My Lord." "It's Maksoo." "Come in." "Lord Lee Shin Jeok asked to deliver a letter." "He wishes to see Bonwon." "Your Excellency, Garion is here." "So, did you bring the meat?" "Yes, I chose the good ones and brought them." "Come inside." "I need to have a word with you urgently." "Yes." "Don't let anyone in." "Yes." "I've shown you the Milbon pledge, so you will follow, is that it?" "I merely follow the one with the power is all." "Hence, do not lose that power." "And everyone will follow to the end." "You give me your oath of allegiance now?" "What use is the like of a human oath?" "Just words without substance." "Instead of oath of allegiance," "I'd like to show you my evidence of allegiance, and thus I asked to meet with you." "Evidence of allegiance?" "Yes." "It seems I've discovered something quite interesting." "Isn't that a mold?" "Yes." "In regards to the work the King is doing, should I, the minister of this nation, sit idly?" "Joojaso print house and Gon Goo Mang Gi, it appeared to me they were somehow linked." "But I couldn't figure out a way to solve it at all, when this came into my possession." "Scholar Yoon Pil made printing blocks in secret, and this is one of the molds among them." "Secretly?" "Yes." "Isn't this the answer to the work Yoon Pil was doing?"

"Oh right!" "They look like the most related among the clues that we have found." "Body Gi plus perish Mang!" "Don't they look related to dissection as well?" "Then, what about others?" "Adult materials..." "Goon Na Mi Yok," "Buddhist scripture," "It is not Buddhist scripture, but" "Sanskrit." "Sanskrit?" "It is not adult materials..." "It's the Phags-pa script." "The dissection..."

"How stupid!" "Who?" "Me?" "I mean Lee Do!" "Lee Do... made letters." "Yes?" "Letters?" "Then..." "This is.." "the letter that the king made?" "Yes!" "That's right." "High officials will obviously object to it and Ming won't allow it." "That is why he kept it secret!" "Hahaha!" "Mere!" "To make mere letters!" "Did he precipitate the scholars into death... and even dissect the corpse?" "Hahaha!" "How terribly silly..." "Yes." "Lee Do!" "It is characteristic of you..." "Lee Do..." "Letters?" "Letters?" "Letters!" "What letter?" "Geul:" "Letter" "Message to Lee Shin-Jeok and Hae-Gang right now!" "It is a beginning." "Now, Lee Do's Jiphyunjeon will be the biggest enemy of the government."

"Can't be...something went wrong?" "Stop the hapless talk." "I'm saying this because he disappeared in a wink." "Why does Chief Jeong piss up a storm to find him?" "He will come back alive." "Although he will be killed by my hand as soon as he shows up." "Who is he?" "He looks familar..." "The punk!" "The half-masked punk!" "What?" "Where did this moron go to?" "Oh, there!" "These days, Yemoongwan has been verbose." "[ Yemoongwan = Office of Royal Decrees ]" "His majesty has been staying in Gyungsungjeon a lot..." "Gyungsungjeon is where his Majesty played Mabangjin (magic square) since his childhood." "And the place where he enjoys games with the princes since then." "That's right." "He needs at least a place to relax after a tiring work." "If he is only resting there, it is all right." "However, except for his sleeping chamber, officers need to attend with him in all other places." "Only when he goes to Gyungsungjeon, the officers do not attend with him." "But... lately, Chief Scholar, you've been going there often." "To my knowledge, a few Jiphyunjeon personnels have been entering and coming from there." "What?" "Is it the truth?" "How can the subjects hold private audience with His Majesty without officers in attendance?" "!" "I am... the culprit who murdered the scholars of Jiphyunjeon." "Promulgation of letters will be done surprisingly!" "That's why we've carried out our work in secret all along." "If the project is revealed, we would have faced the opposition and the creation of letters could have been impossible."

"Milbon was the last word you said." "Oh, right, Milbon." "The Milbon's pledge seems to have gone into Milbon's hands." "Therefore, it will be difficult to figure out..." "Your majesty!" "Right State Minister!" "What's going on?" "You have to go to Prosecutor's Bureau, promptly!" "The culprit was arrested!" "So are they investing him now?" "Yes." "However, he was not arrested." "He delivered himself to the Prosecutor's Bureau." "If he gave himself up, it's Milbon." "Milbon let him do it." "You have to go to Prosecutor's Bureau now!" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I am... the son of the warrior guard Yoon Seo-Jin of the Jeong Do-Gwang who passed away." "I am Yoon Pyung." "I murdered the scholars of Jiphyunjeon." "It is senior scholar Jang's." "Yes, that's correct." "Yes, it is the same kind that was pierced in scholar Jang's head." "You scum!" "Why did you commit such horrendous and brutal crimes?" "Now, everyone in the country will find out the reason." "In the whole town, bills were posted everywhere." "The king has been doing a secret thing privately in Gyungsungjeon." "I started the investigation to find out the truth." "The king has a secret dotted organization named Chunjigyewon [Heaven and Earth Society]." "They get their orders and have been doing the work undercover." "That the King must always be in attendence of officers, such Joseon founding code was broken by him." "The scholar Huh Dahm of Jiphyunjeon was studying Sanscrit with a book named, Bibasahron." "The scholar Yoon Pil was making prints of unknown letters." "Moreover," "Scholar Jang Seong Soo was studying Phags-pa script." "All the scholars that I killed had a tatoo on their body." "And other members of Chunjigye that I figured out are..." "Sung Sam-Moon." "If Sung Sam-Moon has the tatoo on his body, you will know that I am correct." "Moreover... the secretive project of the King that I assume is that..." "Go on." "Becoming barbarians, defying Sino-power, by creating letters." "Was the culprit caught?" "What happened?" "Arrest the scholar Sung!" "Why?" "Why are you behaving like this?" "Here!" "It's here." "Then... are you a member of Chunjigyewon?" "Did you make letters?" "I cannot tell you anything." "This affair is... !" "Don't you know that this matter threatens the existence of Jiphyunjeon?" "I cannot answer." "Everyone knows about it." "Leave the court secretively now." "Go to the temple Jingwansah." "Scholar Park Paeng Nyeon also, bring him with you." "From now on, you have to keep scholars quiet." "Yes." "Letters!" "Has his majesty really worked on this project without our knowledge?" "Doesn't it go against the order of Ming?" "We must not overlook it!" "We have to ask about this at the discussion meeting today." "Let's do it!"

"From now on, all the court systems and disciples erected by Teacher Sambong, will display their powers." "Starting from Yemoongwan." "(Office of Royal Decree)" "This cannot happen!" "Joseon's King cannot discuss with any bureau without the presence of officers."

"Scholar official Sung Sam Moon has been carrying out secret work with His Majesty." "The posts were plastered on the wall." "That project, whether it is a violation of national law or not, whether it shakes the disciple of the nation, we must check and verify." "Junior Scholar Sung Sam Moon commited a secretive act?" "Says who?" "Are you... protecting a criminal right now?" "Criminal?" "The scum jailed at Royal Investigation Bureau is the one who killed three of our scholar officials." "He's the criminal." "He has murdered three of our scholars and now he's trying to shatter Jiphyunjeon with such unbelievable words." "How could you believe him..." "Whether he is telling the truth or not, scholar official Sung Sam Moon, once we verify if he has a tattoo on his body, we will then know." "Do you intend to strip a Sadaebu aristocrat?" "If you don't collaborate," "Deputy Chief Scholar, you could become a suspect too." "What did you say?" "In this matter," "I shall speak with Chief Inspector in person." "[ Chief Inspector = Head of Saheonbu ]" "Everyone leave." "Not as the deputy chief scholar, but I ask you as a colleague who entered Jiphyunjeon at the same time as you." "His Majesty, is he creating letters?" "I don't know either." "I just saw the posts too..." "You are the one who goes in and out of Gyungsungjeon the most!" "Does it make sense that you don't know?" "I really don't know." "Look here!" "The nations that have their own native writings are" "Mongolia and Xi Xia, the Jurchens, Japan and Seobeon, just those." "They are all barbarians." "[ Seobeon = Tibet ]" "Joseon, becomes a barbarian empire?" "In the end," "I cannot be silent in this matter." "You must know too." "When I say I do, I will do it."

"At Jiphyunjeon," "Office of Inspector came and declared they need to verify Sung Sam Moon's body tatoo." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Right now, at Gwanghwamoon Plaza..." "It's Master Hae Gang."

"But they are not Milbon, Your Majesty." "Probably not." "However, there is someone controlling these movements." "Didn't we figure Jeong Gi Joon has the Milbon pledge now?" "Then?" "I need time." "To deal with this, I need some time." "Since Gyunsungjeon was mentioned in the bill, everyone will investigate there." "Then, there must be the evidence in Gyungsungjeon." "Then, certainly..." "You have to catch the hold of people's behaviour who are going in and out of Gyunsungjeon." "There must be some movement on His Majesty's side." "It is tonight." "Tonight, all the data in Gyungsungjeon has to be moved." "Your Majesty!" "The Prime Minister, Hwang Hee wants to meet with you." "Have you finished making them?" "After I heard it from you, its been more than a decade." "I wondered if you gave up in the middle." "Finally you did it." "To the high officials, haven't you said anything?" "Your humble subject, can not tell what you said to the high officials." "I don't tell Your Majesty what I heard from the high officials." "Therefore," "Prime Minister, you are in this position."

"Those scums stole the evidence and captured the Prince Gwangpyung and court maiden So-Yi..." "What?" "What about you?" "What did you do?" "They came disguised as Jojiso slave workers." "They attacked so suddenly..." "What are all these?" "The King is said to be making letters, but it looks like there's an armored division." "There is evidence and witness too?" "Isn't it too much still?" "Sure!" "People already gathered..." "We could not take them off." "Do I have any humilating fate?" "What is this?" "!" "After putting up the posters," "Prince Gwangpyung must have returned to the palace." "How can there be such mistake?" "I am sorry." "Due to that punk Maksoo's disposal of the matter..." "We'll figure out who to blame later." "Assistant deputy, you should get back to the palace." "Catch hold of the situation!" "Yes." "How can there be such recklessness?" "!" "No matter how much they are against the letters, they took away the materials and they captured Prince Gwangpyung!" "This cannot happen!" "How come?" "However, after he said that he will open Gyungsungjeon to the public, he sent away the materials in it." "Isn't that a fact?" "Well..." "Are you taking side of those scum?" "What do you mean by taking their side?" "Nothing bad happened yet." "No matter what, let's solve it in a good way!" "That's what I mean." "Was there no order from His Majesty?" "There was nothing." "What kind of order can he give at this moment?" "Other than finding Prince Gwangpyung." "What are you talking about?" "Haven't you even seen the posters?" "Yes?" "Then has Prince Gwangpyung really... ?" "All of the royal military forces including the Royal Guards... have been given the order to search for him." "Whathappened?" "The Royal Bodyguards are already searching throughout the capital city right now." "Security inside the palace will be taken over by Gyumsabok Palace Guards." "While the entire force of Woorimwui is to search the mountains in the outskirts of the capital." "Yes!" "Is that true?" "Yes!" "I came to the palace quickly to look at what's going in here." "Then where is Prince Gwangpyung?" "Have you heard?" "Those Milbon scum captured Prince Gwangpyung." "What is that?" "Chae Yoon that rascal." "After only leaving a note, he just left!" "What?" "What is this?" "What did he write to you?" "He left pork meat in Garion's care." "What a bastard!" "What did he write to you?" ""I am leaving here after giving up everything."" ""I gave up on the revenge or whatever."" ""I wasted my life."" "He was somewhat weird these days." "I should have noticed it earlier." "What is this?" "What?" "Chae Yoon came to take revenge?" "Whose revenge?" "Which scum?" "I will break his neck!" "His Father's enemy." "He said that he is in Hanyang." "The Prince Gwangpyung hasn't come back to the palace." "What are you talking about?" "Shim Jong Soo said so." "There was a court order to search for Prince Gwangpyung everywhere." "It has become chaotic!" "Then?" "Wasn't Jung Mo troops attacked by the Royal Guard?" "Yes, a suspicious fellow appeared and took them away." "However, according to the punk that survived, the suspicious fellow called himself" "Ddolbok of Hanjitgol!" "What?" "It is Kang Chae Yoon." "However, if Kang Chae Yoon saved them, they should have returned to the palace." "Does Kang Chae Yoon have his own ideas?" "According to Ggeoksoe," "Kang Chae Yoon's father was delivering a secret letter to Shim Ohn." "All the slaves of Shim Ohn were murdered because of that." "Yes." "But that night, the person who left him to me was Moo Hyul, and he told me to kill him if things didn't fare." "And that child became a disciple of Lee Bang Ji." "And came back to the Palace." "His Father's enemy." "Iheardthatheisin Hanyang." "There is no such thing as a lowly life!" "Kang Chae Yoon... came here to assassinate." "Assassinate?" "Who?" "You don't mean..." "Yes." "That is correct." "He came here to kill the King." "He came to assassinate the King?" "The Ddol Bok I saw as a child would do so and then some." "So he didn't bring the Prince back for revenge?" "Luck seems to be on my side, huh?" "Find Kang Chae Yoon." "We must save His Highness the Prince first." "We must first save the Prince, then we can worry about the other things." "We will do our best to find them, but..." "If things don't go well smoothly." "We'll have to do as they requested." "Yes, Your Majesty." "What could be the 'aftermath' that was referenced on the poster?" "They have already killed three scholars." "What did you do with the material for the letters?" "I've kept them safe." "This will do." "I'll deliver this to Sir Moo Hyul." "Then, I will come back." "What does this mean?" "I don't understand the content well." "The rumor has been spread everywhere; causing an upheaval." "What is it?" "The Prince Gwangpyung has been captured by the traitors." "What on earth... is happening now?" "C-Chae Yoon!" "What's going on?" "Didn't you leave?" "When was the poster plastered at the market?" "According to the investigation bureau, it was put on between 5 to 7 am." "But... what happened to you?" "When I went to the paper mill was 5 am." "If the poster was posted between 5-7 am," "Milbon thought that they had captured the Prince and... they put up the posters first." "I am Hanjitgol's Ddolbok." "They must know that I am with the Prince." "Chae Yoon!" "Chae Yoon!" "Haven't you found the whereabouts of Kang Chae Yoon?" "Since Jungmo troops started searching, we will hear from them soon." "Anyhow, we should continue as it is." "The poster is up already." "Regardless of who did it, the disappearance of the prince is a fait accompli." "Before that, we must find Kang Chae Yoon." "But..." "What if the King doesn't give up on making the writings?" "Lee Do won't give up." "Then... have you thought of something else?" "What is the big deal about promulgating the letters?" "Although they do it, which people will learn and use them?" "It is all useless." "Don't you know what happened with Phags-pa script?" "Then..." "We have to get the most important thing for us." "Prince." "I'm fine." "Your Highness, you have a high fever." "This won't do." "I will escape here to bring someone over." "Wait." "The fight isn't over it." "Your Highness, but..." "I don't know about the details... for my father to make letters." "Didn't he say that Kang Chae Yoon was someone indispensable?" "I will make sure to bring him to my father..." "It isn't because of the letters that Kang Chae Yoon is needed." "Both His Majesty and Kang Chae Yoon, are people who've fallen ill." "For His Majesty, only Kang Chae Yoon can," "For Kang Chae-Yoon, only His Majesty can." "Treat that illness." "What is this?" "Things are going interestingly." "Milbon put this poster without knowing that I captured Your Highness." "Therefore, His Majesty probably believes Milbon has you, Your Highness." "Perhaps, he will think it more dangerous than I have you." "Since they killed three scholars." "What will the King do?" "Will he give up making writings or give up the Prince?" "His Majesty's choice won't change." "His Majesty will on no account, give up on the letters!" "How are you so certain of it?" "The world calls him a sage king." "However, do you know?" "In my father's body," "King Taejong's blood is running." "Therefore, His Majesty will choose letters over Your Highness?" "Well, that could happen." "How come you are telling it so joyfully?" "Isn't it your life?" "King Taejong's blood is running here too.." "So for the great cause, life is not important?" "Wow, the high folks are so great!" "Your battles are quite interesting." "But do you know this?" "Those commoners." "The people, without the nobles reading it to them, they cannot even understand the content of this poster." "Do you know what they're interested in?" "His Majesty creating letters?" "Or about the threats to give up on letters?" "No." "No they are not." "Only the fact that you were captured." "Everyone cares only about you." "They don't care about the letters." "No single person talks about the letters!" "The higher ups are only concerned with making the letters or not, fighting with your life on the line." "We, the commoners don't care about the likes of the letters or whatever." "That's what I mean." "His Majesty!" "Is trying to fix it!" "Just how our fight, the fight among the high folks affect their lives." "That our fight is not unrelated to the common folks!" "He is trying to let them know." "Ha!" "So!" "If folks know these letters, we get to know those things?" "Before that, if the letters are released, do you think that the people will get to know the letters?" "Since the noble man's job is studying, they can memorize 50,000 Chinese characters." "Yes!" "I know at least 1000 characters." "But do you know how hard it was to learn them?" "Since I am not smart?" "No." "Because I didn't have any time." "That is the life of the nation!" "If they want to feed themselves, they have to get up before the dawn and work until light without straightening their back all day long." "When can they learn the letters?" "You haven't even tried!" "You can do it!" "It took me so long to learn 1000 characters among 50,000 characters." "Then.." "Learn them?" "How many characters are there in His Majesty's writing?" "Five Thousand Characters?" "Or Three Thousand Characters?" "Or is it a Thousand Characters?" "Twenty" " Eight characters." "One Thousand and Twenty" " Eight Characters?" "No." "Just..." "Twenty..." "Eight Characters." "Does that make sense?" "There are more than 28 objects in this shed." "Shouldn't the letters contain everything in the world?" "Can you make 10 through 20,000 words in just 28 characters?" "It's not 10 or 20,000." "100,000..." "1,000,000!" "can be made." "This is it." "All you need to do is to memorize this." "With just these twenty- eight characters you can, write our names that can't be written with Chinese Characters, curse words you like to speak..." "Regional dialects..." "Our hearts..." "The sound of the wind, the birds, we can make all the sounds using these characters." "I heard that you are quite smart although you are of low birth." "If it is you, you can learn it within a day." "What do you think of it?" "I have a different opinion." "Orabeoni will not take more than half of the afternoon to learn it." "Do you want to try to learn it?" "Moo Hyool, are you out there?" "Your Majesty, must you really go?" "Where is the base of Milbon?" "Answer it!" "Just... kill me." "You bastard!" "If you touch even one hair of the Prince or So Yi, every member of my military," "I will call to arms and will sweep all of you!" "Around the village market, in front of the people, we will display all of your dead bodies." "Those dead bodies... will be ripped to pieces and will be sent all over the country." "Afte re-establishing the fundamentals of the nation," "I will perish the three generations of those three generations." "I WILL PUNISH YOU MISERABLY!" "No..." "I did wrong." "Please save Gwangpyung." "I... will give up everything...everything!" "Did you expect that I would do this?" "Listen to me clearly!" "I am not interested in whoever you are." "I don't care what you want from me." "The important thing is that... whatever you want, you punks will get none of it." "I will make sure to do it!" "I will not negotiate with scum like you." "And..." "I will not pay back with blood either." "But..." "I will show you... how you people are going to fail." "Look closely." "Is this really possible?" "Can the world where everyone will be able to write letters... come?" "Father." "Ddol Bok" "Geol Sang." "Dahm" "Did you just read what I wrote?" "I met Dahm." "I want to see Father." "Is this correct?" "Is this really correct?" "Yes." "Orabeoni, you just learned it right away within a half of the afternoon." "The language that we use... truly the words that we use with our mouth, can we really write whatever we say?" "Really, everything?" "You already wrote it." "Prince!" "Move aside." "When did you get hurt?" "Before at the paper mill." "How can you only say that right now?" "This is nothing." "Weren't they good letters?" "Don't you agree?" "If it were you, those letters... could you give them up?" "I'm fine." "Don't be pretentious." "Does the royal family have iron armour wrapped around their body?" "You should keep your life for now." "The bet is not over yet!" "Where are you going?" "All the hospitals must be closed." "Stop the bleeding by pressing it down firmly." "Still?" "Yes, but the Prince Gwangpyung got injured." "They couldn't have gotten far away." "Get it done as fast as possible." "It is all because Pyung is not here." "What do we do about Pyung?" "He should get out since he finished his duty." "Isn't Lee Shin Jeok a guide member of Royal Investigation Bureau?" "Go and tell him." "Yes." "Where have you been?" "KangChaeYoon" "Mr. Palace Guard?" "What brings you here?" "I need medicine." "It is a gash, the status is pretty severe." "Yes?" "You are the only one who can help me out." "Sure, tell me whatever you want." "Pack them now!" "Yes!" "Kang Chae Yoon came to me on his own." "What brings you here, the investigation bureau?" "The Right State Minister asked me to bring a book." "Is His Excellency still here?" "Yes, he is in his office." "The prisoner has escaped!" "The prisoner has escaped!" "Catch him!" "If you folllow this white marker, we can find their whereabouts." "Let's go!" "Yes!" "You handled it already!" "What are you talking about?" "I mean Yoon Pyung!" "He just escaped the jail and ran away." "Really?" "I didn't do it." "Then?" "It is a trap!" "Moo Hyul has been chasing him." "Considering the safety of His Highness, he said that he will manage with the minimum number of soldiers." "He will handle it well!" "It's tomorrow." "Tomorrow is Kyeongyeon (forum)." "There isn't much time left." "Orabeoni!" "Why are you here?" "!" "Gwangpyung!" "Who is he?" "I told you not to ask me about him." "Treat him first, quickly!" "Yes!" "Madam Chief!" "You've escaped safely!" "The Right State Minister must have put a hand in it." "His Highness must be inside." "The priority is His Highness's safety!" "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Lay an ambush with each of your positions." "Wait for the signal!" "Who is it?" "Subtitlesarebroughttoyoubythe DeepRootedfriendsteam@viki .com" "How is it going?" "We've found the whereabouts of the Prince Gwangpyung." "What's that?" "What are they talking about?" "Then..." "Prince Gwangpyung is not here?" "!" "It seems he's hiding in the mountain." "Where is Prince Gwangpyung?" "It is Mt." "Sogang." "Invade there right away!" "Sun rises up soon and hurry up!" "Yes!" "What's going on here?" "Go to the palace right away and report the current situation." "Yes!" "I will chase them!" "Let's go!" "Hasn't Moo Hyool come back yet?" "No." "He hasn't reported anything to us yet." "Your Majesty!" "What shall we do?" "I agree." "Sun will rise up soon!" "For now, the danger is over." "However, I packed too quickly, and couldn't bring the medicine to alleviate fever." "There are herbs named honeysuckles in the mountain." "If he takes them, his fever will subside." "Okay, you did a good job." "Thank you!" "Then, I am leaving." "Don't tell anyone!" "Do you know?" "Sir, I owe you my life." "Don't worry about it!" "What shall we do?" "Kang Chae Yoon cannot be handled by you." "What about the number one Jung-Mo troop?" "Since we sent the message, they will arrive here soon." "Since the Prince Gwangpyung is injured, he cannot move his body easily." "I played for time." "Watch over them closely and attack them together!" "Yes!" "I am going to find honeysuckles." "You can wait here." "Shall I thank you?" "While thanking me, what if you lose a bet?" "Won't you feel wronged, when you die?" "By winning a bet," "I will pay back your favour, for sure!" "Aww..." "I was surprised!" "Lookatme !" "Lookatme!" "Please look at me!" "Can you take a walk?" "What about Bonwon?" "He has just left!" "There is a girl, an injured guy and a master of martial arts." "Don't be incautious!" "Do you understand?" "Yes!" "Those scum are moving." "The most important thing is.." "safety of his Highness the Prince!" "Keep it in mind!" "Yes!" "Move!" "This side there is no one!" "Nothing!" "They were just here." "What happened?" "Did they run away as they knew it already?" "Either way, for now, pick up things inside." "What happened?" "They are not inside?" "Which way is it?" "Was it Milbon or Royal troops?" "I can't figure it out yet." "When we don't know, we should run away." "Please come on up!" "Since there is an injured person, they couldn't leave the mountain yet." "Find them out!" "Who are you?" "Come out!" "Moo Hyool!" "I'll manage here." "You go report at once and chase after Chae Yoon." "Attack!" "Get on my back please!" "Bring So-Yi with you, leave this mountain.." "Stop the joke, get on my back quickly!" "Don't you get it?" "This is Milbon land." "They must be hiding everywhere in this mountain." "How are you going to descent the mountain while carrying me on your back in my injured state?" "So?" "Leave me here." "And leave with So Yi only." "Now!" "No, we can't!" "Of course, we can't!" "Although your dignity is grand as a prince of this country, you are just a mere hostage of mine." "I will take responsiblity of you." "Where is the Prince?" "Haven't you captured him?" "Are..." "Are you okay?" "Take your hands off." "That guy, who is he?" "He... is very strong." "Your Majesty!" "It is time to go to Kyeongyeon hall." "How about doing this for now?" "As for the letters, tell them that you don't know anything about them." "In addition, the questions thrown by the rebels, you don't have to answer them since you are the King." "Say that the high officials of government should not be disturbed by their questions." "Since Moo Hyool hasn't come back yet, we don't know what the situation is." "Do not give them any clear answers." "Please buy time." "Your Majesty!" "For a moment," "I want to be alone." "You can go out." "Gwangpyung!" "The safety of His Highness is at stake." "Should the Joseon court and imperial family bend their knees to the threat of the traitors?" "What if his majesty has really created the letters of Joseon, he must reveal them to us, the high officials, and ask our opinions." "Though..." "This is separate from the safety of His Highness." "Yes, that's right." "If the letters were created, revealing the fact and giving it to us, is also how he can save His Highness." "Do you mean that we should accept the Milbon's demands?" "Though different in format, it is also the request of Joseon's noble clans." "What Joseon letters?" "Isn't it the way we become barbarians?" "How dare you!" "Watch your words!" "Babarians?" "His Majesty the King is entering!" "It seems you were talking about something fun." "Have you been talking about this weird poster?" "I also have a fun story to share with you." "Do you want to hear it?" "The key point of the poster is..." "yadi yada lots of things were written on it." "To make it short, if I have created the letters, then I should give up on them." "If I don't give them up today, they will do blah-blah to Gwangpyung..." "That is the story, huh?" "Since they asked me to answer by today," "I should do it." "This is my answer for the questions." "My answer for those... it's a load of bullshit!" "That's it!" "Those scum thought that if they captured the Prince and threatened me," "I would be like "Yes, yes." "I am scared of you." "I will do whatever you say."" "They might have thought that I would do that..." "Did they think lightly of our Joseon's government and Royal Family?" "Your Majesty!" "It is about the safety of Prince Gwangpyung!" "That's what I mean..." "Gwangpyung won't want me to stop the great project because of him." "He is my proudest son!" "And what else?" "Letters!" "I have created letters secretly." "Of course I have been creating them!" "Now, it is almost complete!" "I made the letters that come from our words and sounds." "Our Joseon's letters," "I created them!" "Your Majesty!" "Creating Joseon's letters is utter injustice!" "Regarding the issue, we can argue over it till we die at the forum starting tomorrow." "Get ready for it!" "Oh wait!" "And Milbon, probably there are none, but if there is a member of Milbon here, please send this message to him." "Onlyviolence?" "Only... violence?" "Gwangpyung!" "I did it this way." "Fromnow,whateverhappenstoyou... withoutsheddingevenadrop oftears ," "Iwillendureit." "Father." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty!" "Father!" "Gwangpyung!" "Your Majesty." "So Yi." "What happened?" "We lost them." "Did you guys bet on the heart of the King?" "!" "So what did you bet on?" "If I win, without a word, he comes back to you." "Really?" "Without a word," "I will follow your orders." "But, there is one condition." "Uh huh!" "We agreed that there is no condition!" "SeokSam" "Seok Sam..." "Palace Guard Kang Chae Yoon has learned our letters." "Really?" "What is your condition?" "And... this..." "What is Seok Sam?" "Seok Sam is my father's name." "I dare wish..." "Your Majesty," "do not forget his name..." "All right." "I understand." "I definitely won't." "[Episode 16]" "Seok Sam" "Palace Guard Kang Chae Yoon has learned our letters." "Really?" "What is your request, and what's Seok Sam?" "Seok Sam is my father's name." "I dare to make a request from Your Majesty." "That name..." "Please don't ever forget it." "Ok." "I got it." "I definitely won't." "Did you really write... this?" "He learned the letters within less than the half of the afternoon." "Yes." "He was very surprised that there was only 28 characters." "He didn't change his mind even when Your Majesty showed his true heart." "He changed his mind after learning the letters, although he is impertinent." "There is nothing impertinent." "That is the role I wanted for Kang Chae Yoon." "Until I finish my work you'll still stay as Ddol Bok." "Rather than dispute like a noble, just as a commoner." "As a commoner, how you view and judge the nobles' disputes." "I need to know about it." "If it is about that, please do not worry about it." "No matter what the reason is, your humble subject cannot peacefully accept the ideas of nobles as it is." "Certainly!" "If the nobles' ideas will kill us or save us to live," "with my two eyes wide opened, I will watch carefully." "And..." "I have one thing I have in mind about the investigation of Milbon." "Will you listen?" "Yes, what is it?" "This is the letters Lee Do has made?" "I don't exactly know." "I only took everything that was in that place." "What about Gwanpyung?" "Yes." "When we arrived there, he disappeared with Kang Chae Yoon and then the Royal troops arrived too." "They seemed to release me intentionally to trace us." "Shut down the camp in Mt." "Goo Dahl, and Kang Chae Yoon and Gwangpyung must be found." "Jungmo troops have moved already." "What on earth?" "Why did Kang Chae Yoon bring Gwangpyung with him?" "What are you doing?" "These letters look kind of strange." "Please keep the secret that Prince returned." "Also, please let the Royal Troops continue searching." "Why?" "As you know, my Father's will and the Milbon pledge got switched, so the Milbon know my identity." "Yes, in addition, the slave Ggeok-Seo who survived that night became a Milbon." "Milbon must know everything about it." "So?" "They know that I abducted the Prince Gwangpyung." "They must be doing reasoning on their own." "Your grudges against His Majesty and the reason why you came back to the court from northern border, the Milbon will try to find out about those things." "Yes." "If they know that the Prince didn't return, and I am still the Palace Guard, they will become interested in me." "They will approach you." "Is that what you think?" "Yes." "Although I haven't told you until now, there are some suspicious people in Banchon." "Shouldn't we immediately capture them?" "No." "If we do that, the prime suspects will try to hide even more deeply." "We have to know the whole story about Jeong Ki Joon and Milbon." "That's correct." "Therefore, I will induce them to approach me and get inside Milbon deeply." "So, you're going to try to capture Jeong Ki Joon?" "Yes." "That is an exact judgement." "The Milbon member that we need to know and capture is not anyone else... it is definitely" "Jeong Ki Joon." "I will find him and make sure he comes to you." "If I can do it and the letters are promulgated successfully..." "Could this be about drinking with the King again?" "You punk!" "Haven't you come to your senses yet?" "Then, I will request a small wish." "Will you listen?" "Whatever it is, say it." "I will promise." "Who could that person be?" "Although you came back and changed your mind to be loyal to His Majesty," "I still don't like you." "I know it very well." "But if you need any help on the investigation, I will help you." "Did you know that Milbon has a strong assassin?" "It is not the half masked man." "You should always be careful." "Did His Majesty actually say that?" "What do those letters mean to him, that he's willing to risk the safety of the Prince?" "Bring scholar Sung and Park here." "Why?" "I need to find out about the letters the King has made." "Find out?" "What are you saying?" "It is exactly what I have said." "We don't know anything about those letters, right?" "We don't even know how many letters there are and how they look." "We have only been judging if the letters should be allowed or not." "I have to find out what kind of letters the King has made." "Doesn't the King mean that he's going to throw away the Prince?" "How can the King do that?" "I know right." "But Bonwon already said that." "Yes?" "He said that the King won't give up on the letters." "Bonwon and the King are both something." "But where did Kang Chae Yoon disappear after abducting Gwangpyung?" "Why is that guy...?" "Aigoo..." "How are you doing?" "Okay..." "Then..." "What's happening?" "You can get back to the palace to check the Royal troops to see if Prince Gwangpyung came back." "Yes!" "Did the punk Chae Yoon just disappear after eating his meal?" "Without asking about how I have been doing?" "Isn't he too cold?" "I became so attached to him..." "Hey you piglet, you have never hung out with any human other than your mother!" "You!" "What happened to you?" "Didn't you run away to the north?" "Don't even talk about it." "I wandered around so much..." "Did you?" "Then... have you finished it already?" "Are you going to stay here continuously?" "Since you like me so much, how can I leave here." "When you guys keep flashing before my eyes." "Did you have rice?" "No, I ate chicken!" "You can tell me anything." "I will promise you." "I will make sure to capture you, Jeong Gi Joon!" "How did the forum go?" "It is just as Bonwon said." "Therefore, we can continue our plan as we thought." "But..." "Kang Chae Yoon has returned to his job as a Palace Guard." "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Then... did the Prince return?" "No." "The Royal troops are still doing a search." "And Moo-Hyool has been making a new team with capable warriors." "His Father's enemy," "I heard that he is in Hanyang." "What a bold guy he is!" "No way..." "For the revenge?" "Then Gwangpyung..." "He may have already killed Gwangpyung." "Then... do you mean after he killed the Prince, he has returned to the palace to kill the King?" "Has anyone seen this kind of scary person?" "Bonwon, if this is real..." "This is what I'm saying, to fight with Kang Chae Yoon, there is no reason for us to." "His and our goals overlap." "He wants Lee Do." "We want Joseon." "So what should we do?" "First of all, check to see if So Yi returned to the Palace." "Yes." "Kang Chae Yoon." "You punk!" "Drink, drink!" "Today drink this... and go home to sleep." "But what really happened?" "I heard so many differend kinds of rumours." "What rumours?" "You ran off together with a chick!" "Hey!" "You little kid!" "How can you say those things?" "Mom and the ahjusshi talked about it in our room." "The reason a guy disappears is 100 percent most likely because of a girl." "When did I?" "Why that mouth of yours!" "It's not because of that." "How dare you bastard!" "I was almost going to say that." "It's alright." "You can even speak ill of the King when he doesn't know it." "Drink, drink." "Yes, Sir!" "Anyhow, the half-masked punk was arrested and then did he break out of jail?" "That Yoon Pyung, or something, he really has a lot of luck." "How did he break out of the jail of the Royal Investigation Bureau?" "Wait." "What was his name?" "Yoon Pyung." "Yoon Pyung." "YoonPyung?" "Who are you?" "Are you Yoon Pyung?" "Sothatscumwas YoonPyung." "It is not time for you to feel gratified thinking about Kang Chae Yoon!" "Why are you like that?" "The high officials who stopped complaints as Gyungsungjeon that was to be made opened to the public, they are going to start it all together again as of tomorrow." "Of course they would." "Why did you mention all about it at the forum meeting?" "How are we going to settle it down?" "A sudden promulgation cannot be done anymore." "We are ruined!" "No matter how upset you feel, as a scholar, how can you talk rough?" "Are you in any position to find fault in my speech manner?" "I'm not in the position to find fault..." "But you keep eating me like a lettuce wrap (disregard and provoke)." "Your Majesty, can you really joke right now?" "So what can I do?" "The matter has already happened." "I will have a change of strategy." "How?" "From tomorrow, everything will be chaotic." "From now on, I will slash everyone!" "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" "Slashing?" "What do you mean by that?" "Not with a sword... but by saying and writing, I will slash them" "Although, the dissidents are of several thousands.." "I'll fight hilt to hilt." "I will slash all of them!" "A word is more scary than a sword." "I will show them." "Moo Hyool, if you assume that my words are as equal as swords, how can you evaluate my ability?" "Certainly!" "In Joseon... no... you will be placed as the number one warrior in the world!" "The King has arrived." "Your Majesty..." "Court officers have refused to perform their duties and have staged a protest at Hansujun, and at Gwanghamun, the scholars have gathered around Scholar Hae Gang" "As well as officials of the three offices (inspector, censor, advisor)..." "The Jiphyunjeon Scholars didn't come?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "The responsible person of Jiphyunjeon, Deputy Chief Scholar Choi Man Ri, is the most strongly against it." "Isn't it Your Majesty's Jiphyunjeon?" "Why are you pushing the project ahead, even with your people from Jiphyunjeon opposing it?" "How will you handle it with this much opposition?" "In addition, priorities are switched." "You have to put all of your effort in finding and getting rid of the traitors." "How come you don't order anything about it?" "Why are you trying to push ahead with these letters?" "Furthermore, currently we are in a situation where Prince Gwangpyung is under abduction!" "Do not talk about that matter anymore." "This is a big problem." "How can he overlook these things?" "When he acts this way, he is exactly the same as the Former King." "Letters cannot be!" "Your Majesty, letters cannot be!" "Letters cannot be!" "Your Majesty!" "Why do you give up on Neo-Confucianism and try to become a barbarian on your own?" "Fine then." "Then, first, let's discuss why creating letters goes against Neo-Confucianism." "Anyone, talk freely to me." "Chinese characters are not just simply characters." "The character itself is the way of Confucianism and the concept." "Please take a look at it!" "In the character "fighting Moo," the meaning of a spear and two words is for stopping." "The character "fighting moo" itself tells you to stop the fighting with the fighting." "The lesson of Confucianism is contained in the character, saying that it is to fight to stop the fighting." "However, in the different barbarian's letter, can this kind of enlightenment be contained?" "Can Your Majesty's letters express this?" "No." "They can't." "Yet..." "Why are you trying to discard Confucianism?" "Then," "Jak Gae Eun Ro Dal Sa Chong." "That is... to listen to the people's opinion by opening the press." "This is the virtue that was the most emphasized for the King in Confucianism ." "Yes, Your Majesty!" "You can just listen to the people." "According to Sam Bong, Jeong Do Jeon's Gyungjaemoongam journals..." "During the Yosoon Era, despite not having an office of censor in the administarations, the subjects had a way to address the emperor." "After all dissent was prohibited during Qin State, once the Han Dyansty was established, the position of censor was made, in order to make way for discourse." "However, once the office of censor was established, the discourse halted even more so." "Isn't that right?" "This exactly coincided with the time which the people who knew the Chinese characters started to take government official's positions." "Since Chinese characters were difficult, the commoners had to speak to the King through government officials." "The officials distorted and edited what the commoners said." "Therefore, Sam Bong said that the channel for communication was even more blocked." "He wrote like that." "Therefore, I am trying to widen the channel for communication." "To hear from the people, I decided that they needed these letters." "Did I discard Confucianism?" "However, because the new letters are easy, what if more scholars give up on Chinese characters?" "For scholars, learning is their job." "If they stop learning Chinese characters because there are easier letters, that is the fault of the scholars." "It is not the fault of mine who created the letters or the fault of the commoners." "Even after distribution of moral conducts of three bonds (loyalty, filial duty and submission) in pictures..." "There are always people who will commit crimes of immorality." "The virtue or the vices of people depends on their traits..." "Are you a scholar?" "Are you a Confucian scholar?" "The fundamentals of Confucianism are that a human can reach his own real nature with continuous cultivation of mind." "If a person's nature is decided from birth, how can Confucianism say that enlightenment is one of the King's responsiblities?" "If you really want to circulate Nongsahgikseol (book for agriculture) to the people, you can circulate it to the commoners by increasing the number of officials." "Where does the payment for those many officials come from?" "Aren't the commoners those who support the officials?" "Increasing the number of the officials eventually impoverishes the people of the country." "I am running out of stamina." "I should eat a lot more meat!" "Yes, we prepared them." "Please wait for a bit." "All right." "Your Majesty, you must be so exhausted." "Since Your Majesty debated for a long time today, everyone will be persuaded." "Not yet!" "There is one big thing left." "Do you mean the Deputy Chief Scholar, Choi Man Ri?" "That's right." "According to him, he has written a long argument as big as this room from here to there." "Yes, he asked to bring more paper." "You have worked on it for a long time." "Why do these people oppose it?" "It saddens me." "How much is he going to debate clause by clause?" "Anappealagainstcreationofletters." "Sir, we came back." "Those letters that you helped His Majesty to make." "Yes?" "What are they like?" "Is it phonetic representation or ideography?" "What do they look like?" "How many letters are there?" "Why aren't you giving me any answers?" "I asked you what kind of letters they are?" "They are..." "We... can't answer you." "Are you saying that again?" "You punks!" "Get ouf of here now!" "I can't stand the sight of you!" "We won't be able to beat His Majesty through reasoning." "Bonwon already thought so too..." "Then... aren't you going to stop the promulgation of letters?" "Even though they are promulgated, who is going to use them?" "There were lots of barbarians who governed the Chinese territory." "Won of Mongol." "Yoh of Georan," "Geum of Yeojin, didn't they make letters as they didn't know how to?" "Since Chinese characters are so great, they didn't need to make any." "The Phagspa script was also created with great enthusiasm, nevertheless, since no one used it, it ended up vanishing." "Yes!" "That is the power of China." "China hasn't governed countries for over three thousand years for no reason." "Those letters will eventually disappear." "No one is going to use them." "Therefore, even if we leave him to promulgate the letters, it is going to be His Majesty's waste of time and effort." "Therefore, we can just pretend... that we reluctantly agree with his promulgating letters." "Instead..." "Yes, we should get something important from him." "What is it?" "Two kinds of cornerstone to move on to the Parliament system." "Establishing de facto authority of State Council." "And.." "removal of Jiphyunjeon." "No way..." "A de facto parliament system." "It is a right thing to do." "Aren't you thinking it is a good thing for you, instead of a right thing to do, Your Excellency?" "Since Lord Hwang Hee is aged, if it becomes the actual Parliament system, you will take the supreme power." "Isn't it great that the right thing is a good thing for me?" "You also should consider how to turn the right thing into a good thing for you personally." "When the condition ripens, you have to choose either me or Bonwon." "What are you saying?" "If we didn't have Bonwon, the Milbon that will actualize the de factor power of the governements, would have disappeared." "Hey, don't get excited!" "I am not saying that I will go against Bonwon's idea." "However," "Bonwon became a butcher by humbling himself." "He has to use his power behind the scene." "He can't lead the nobles after working as a butcher." "Haven't you heard of the reason he became a butcher?" "The betrayal of nobles was the reason." "Oh was it?" "He was once adopted to a noble family but the noble reported it to Lord Jo Mal Saeng." "Therefore, he could not go into any noble's family." "Are you telling me to become a nobleman like them?" "That kind of thing will never happen to me!" "Of course... of course..." "Now, Lord Lee Shin Jeok must be thinking about something else." "Parliament system... he must think that he is going to be the prime minister." "No matter what, the deal with the King has to be done well.." "Since his profit is depending on it, he will do well." "Bonwon, the court maiden So Yi has returned to the palace." "So Yi has returned as well?" "Then... except for Prince Gwangpyung," "So Yi and Chae-Yoon, everyone came back to the court." "What did this guy Kang Chae Yoon do about Prince Gwangpyung?" "I have to check it out." "How?" "Send Ggeoksoe to So Yi." "As for Kang Chae Yoon, why don't you make a plan?" "This looks bad." "Since no one came, the court is empty." "What can we do about it?" "Prime Minister!" "You always shared the same opinion as His Majesty." "Haven't you aided him all along on the side?" "So... why don't you solve this difficult situation with me?" "How do you think we should solve it?" "I have my own ideas too though..." "Ah... yes..." "Please tell me your ideas first." "All the court, the administration bureau and even Jiphyunjeon are totally empty." "Are you really going to push it through as you wish?" "Yes, Your Majesty!" "You should not continue pushing it anymore." "Your humble subject is advising Your Majesty with true heart." "Please negotiate with the high officials." "To the king who even gave up on his own son, are you asking me to negotiate?" "The opposition of the government officials are not only about the promulgation of the letters." "Yes, Your Majesty." "The fundamental cause rests upon Jiphyunjeon." "Therefore," "You are well aware of the opposition from the high officials." "Since you said that you are going to create the letters." "As soon as things ripen, they burst out." "So then..." "Please win one thing, and discard the other." "What can I earn and what can I discard?" "I dare to request you, if you would like to promulgate the letters, please abolish the Jiphyunjeon." "If you do it," "Prime Minister and I will persuade the high officials using all our political power." "Abolishing Jipyunjeon?" "If you don't do it, you will not be able to go through the difficult times." "From tomorrow, how the high officials will behave, is not something we can estimate clearly." "Soon, a major event, the government entrance exam needs to be held." "Yes..." "Without government officials, you cannot prepare for the government exam." "Therefore, my Jiphyunjeon, are you saying to remove it with my hand?" "Your Majesty!" "Please consider it deeply!" "Isn't it making a deal?" "Then... are they wanting to make a deal with Jiphyunjeon and the letters?" "That is what I asked them to do." "Yes?" "Did you ask them to do that?" "I induced the Lord Hwang-Hee to suggest it that way." "Your humble subject cannot understand you at all." "Why?" "Why did you do that?" "They haven't looked at our letters yet." "Kang Chae-Yoon, Sung Sam-Moon and Park Paeng-Nyung, how was their reaction before they looked at the letters?" "They said that it was impossible." "They also... think that it will not work and ignore the commoners." "They think that although we promulgate the letters, no one is going to learn them." "They will be useless." "I also didn't think it would work, but I made an effort to make it work." "To make it work!" "I tried so hard to make easy letters." "So if I give up on Jiphyunjeon for them," "I thought that they will agree with the promulgation of letters." "Then, are you going to accept the abolishment of Jiphyunjeon?" "For me, Jiphyunjeon was a temporary organization." "Back then, to protect myself from my father and the officials of my father," "I needed to establish my people." "Won't it be the same way for the Crown Prince?" "The Crown Prince will also have to make his own organization and people on his own." "To lead Joseon?" "Then, with abolishing of Jiphyunjeon for real, are you going to promulgate the letters?" "That is not enough of course." "Why is a deal called a deal?" "I will gain as much as I can from it." "For giving up on Jiphyunjeon," "I will gain the bureau and the departments to assume full charge of these letters." "How did it go?" "The King says that there will be a debate concerning the issue, and a final decision will be made." "If things end up well tomorrow, you'll all need to return to your duties." "Get the message conveyed." "However, the mood seems quite adamant, as long as the King doesn't back out on giving up on the letters." "How do you feel about disbanding Jiphyunjeon?" "Have you suggested disbanding Jiphyunjeon to the king?" "Yes, that's right." "Wasn't it Lord Jo who insisted that Jiphyunjeon is almost like His Majesty's bodyguard troops?" "That's true but..." "Also," "His Majesty has already changed the system of Six Ministries by having them report directly to Him instead of State Council." "Left State Minister, you are the one who said as long as Jiphyunjeon exists, the State Council is just a convention." "Yes, I did." "Since all the Kyeongyeons are controlled by Jiphyunjeon." "Well..." "If what we suggested to His Majesty is accepted." "Everyone has to come back to one's own position and follow the decision." "Would the King accept that?" "About that, we will all know it by tomorrow." "Something you need to gain?" "By establishing Eonmoon Bureau and Chungeum Bureau" "EonmoonBureau:" "Bureauthat publishing books written in new letters." "and at the Investigation Bureau and Secretary's office," "I will let these official letters be adapted." "I will include the new letters as an item of the Government Officials' Entrance Exam." "Would that... work?" "Wait and see." "Do you think that His Majesty is going to take the suggestion?" "According to my intuition, he will accept it." "What do you mean by intuition?" "It seemed to me that His Majesty gave his word to Lord Hwang Hee." "Yes?" "How can it be?" "That is why you are still too young." "Since Lord Hwang Hee is discussing the issue together with us, do you think he is on our side?" "Lord Hwang Hee is a scary person." "Probably, he knew about the creation of letters all along." "No matter what, if the deal is accepted, you have to prevent the commotion in Jiphyunjeon, especially by Deputy Chief Scholar Choi Man Ri whose opposition will be the greatest!" "The Prime Minister and Right Minister have just met His Majesty." "His Majesty seems to be determined to promulgate the letters." "In exchange for agreeing with it..." "Agreeing with what?" "Then... everyone doesn't care about promulgating of the new letters?" "No one will use it and it will disappear." "Uh huh!" "What a pathetic guy!" "What?" "Do you still not understand His Majesty?" "His Majesty spent 13 years working on it secretly." "What do you think it means?" "It is not going to work?" "Have you ever seen His Majesty do anything that did not work?" "Something that His Majesty has accomplished, after he has put in a lot of effort for a long time, do you really believe that it will come to nothing?" "Definitely, the letters will be something to be reckoned with." "If these letters are promulgated," "Chinese characters and its Classics will be ostracized." "The world, where people use His Majesty's letters will come." "A world where everyone knows letters... is it really possible?" "Itseemedto me thatHis Majesty gave his word to Lord Hwang Hee." "Kang Chae Yoon is a man of high martial arts knowledge." "One false move can lead to our loss." "We have to move promptly." "IsitGgeoksoeahjussi?" "I certainly saw him come in here a meal ago." "Then... where did he go?" "Aren't you a palace guard?" "Why are you doing this?" "Hey, Haengsoo (Chief)!" "You are a Milbon, right?" "I already know it all." "Milbon, you said?" "How can I be a Milbon?" "You are playing innocent." "I heard you calling the name of the punk with the half-mask at the Moonsungong shrine." "The guy that escaped from royal jail last time... that guy is Yoon Pyung, right?" "Yoon Pyung is the half-masked dude, huh?" "It must be a misunderstanding." "I..." "You all screwed it up." "The time when I met So Yi, when I was running away with So Yi, the punk appeared and screwed up my plan!" "Because of you, everything was ruined." "I even abducted Prince Gwangpyung..." "But thanks to you guys meddling in that too, with my hand..." "I even killed Prince Gwangpyung." "Everything that I planned and prepared with my life at stake, you guys totally ruined it!" "To me now, what do you think is left for me?" "Compared to how you ruined our plan, that was nothing!" "That night in Moosool year." "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have lost our Milbon declaration." "Finally, you are confessing." "Because of you, you scum, our Milbon has been collapsed for a long time." "In addition, when we took away the evidence of the King's project, you screwed up totally!" "That is none of my business." "There's only one method left for me now." "Knock down Milbon and getting the royal drink from that King or whatever." "The King promised me he would to do that for me." "So," "Bonwon or whoever, Jeong Gi Joon, that punk... where is he?" "!" "Talk!" "Between you and us... haven't you thought that we do not have to be this way?" "What the heck?" "In the end, you scum, too, want to kill the King isn't that right?" "Your father died, trying to send the secret message to Lord Shim Ohn." "Also you entered the court as you were determined to kill the King." "Isn't that right?" "When Moo Hyool brought you to me, he told me to kill you." "About failing to kill you back then," "I'm biting my tongue off." "I asked you to kill me!" "I feel like shit so I don't know what I might just do here." "Talk!" "Jeong Gi Joon..." "Jeong Gi Joon, where is he?" "Ajusshi..." "What shall I do?" "Ddolbok orabeoni is..." "Talk." "Where is Jeong Gi Joon?" "!" "Chief!" "Are you alright?" "Come out, Kang Chae Yoon." "If you hurt her, I'll kill you myself." "Looks like the rats found their way here." "Hey, Half-mask, are you the rat leader?" "You alone are no match for me." "Put your sword down," "Kang Chae Yoon." "Well, if you want to see your Chief's head go flying, come at me." "You and us, we have no reason to fight." "Therefore, don't do this, why not use us?" "Enough of the dog crap!" "Think about it, as a reward for capturing the Bonwon, as the King offers you a drink, stick a blade in his throat." "That's right," "Lee Do would die immediately." "However!" "Is that true vengeance?" "If you kill Lee Do so easily, would you feel satisfied?" "At the very least..." "Shouldn't you kill Lee Do after you show what his crimes are?" "Why Lee Do should die at your hands?" "That's why, you need to kill him more painfully than the suffering you've gone through!" "Wouldn't that be true vengeance, Ddol Bok?" "You and we may have different strategies, but we share a common goal." "You desire the King's head, and we desire the King's Joseon." "We will take everything from Lee Do, killing Lee Do in despair and suffering, that's our goal!" "Is that not something that you want as well?" "So, what are you trying to say?" "We will aid you." "Therefore, help us in return." "Then... won't we each get what we want more easily?" "How can I trust you?" "Because I'll trust you first." "All of you withdraw your swords and leave us." "Didn't you hear me, leave us!" "But Chief?" "!" "Leave!" "And don't come back unless I call for you." "Now, will you join us?" "Don't be mistaken, Chief." "I'm not joining Milbon." "I'm just saying, let's help each other out." "That's what I wanted to hear." "Kang Chae Yoon came personally?" "He won't be able to reveal that I'm part of Milbon, because we know about his intentions to assasinate the King." "But, from his words he said that he killed Prince Gwangpyung." "Did Kang Chae Yoon really..." "Then... it confirms what Ggeoksoe said." "Ddol Bok orabeoni killed the Prince." "And now Orabeoni is saying that he'll murder the King, and he's telling me to find out everything I can about the King." "That court lady, can we be sure she will not relate it to the King?" "From what Ggeotsoe said..." "So Yi can never turn her back on Kang Chae Yoon." "If I tell the truth to His Majesty," "Orabeoni won't be able to survive." "Ahjussi... please stop Orabeoni." "For Orabeoni to stop these kinds of deeds, he needs to be stopped." "That punk wasn't lying, it seems." "How did you know?" "That Ggeoksoe ahjussi would approach me, how did you know?" "If they were observing me, they were probably curious about what happened on that day I took the Prince, and from their perspective, it's probably a lot easier to approach you than me about it." "So who would they have sent?" "Ggeotsoe ahjussi cried alot after I told him my story." "He thinks you're still trying to assasinate the King." "If the Milbon didn't rescue ahjussi that day, he wouldn't be living like this either." "If Milbon had rescued me instead of the Queen," "I might've been trying to kill the King." "Right?" "That's the life of the bottom ones." "Our lives change by the whim of the upper ones." "That's life to us." "But Orabeoni..." "Why?" "What was the wish that you were going to ask from His Majesty?" "Ah that..." "It's... just something." "Are you planning on using him from now on?" "Kang Chae Yoon... he definitely has his uses." "Make sure you make the most of this relationship." "I understand." "By the way, where's that punk Han?" "I haven't seen him all day." "Draw it like this, that's right." "Now, again." "Aigo, nice job, Yeondu." "That's right, next, you!" "You can't even draw that...!" "It's not bad, try again slowly." "I need a drawing of the letters." "This is the Milbon that has killed three scholars to try to find out what your Majesty was working on." "Therefore, if I show evidence relevant to the letters, they'll believe me." "That must not happen." "We must not reveal the identity of our letters." "So you're saying you can't?" "But weren't you planning on making them public anyway?" "They are trying to make a deal with me to agree on the promulgation of the letters." "But why would they agree on the promulgation of the letters?" "It's because they still have not been able to decipher the identity of our letters." "Have you forgotten how you changed your opinion?" ""Even if they were promulgated, they won't be used"." "Is that what they think?" "Exactly." "However if they were to discover the identity of the letters, there's no predicting how it may hinder the promulgation of the letters." "Therefore, until I receive a definitive answer from them concerning the publicizing of the letters today, we must hide the identity of the letters." "Until then, find another method." "Yes." "I understand." "Chae Yoon..." "Yes?" "You seem to be more highly motivated than when you were investigating Milbon and planning my assasination." "Your Majesty said that you wanted to teach your people the joys of living." "That's what you said, am I correct?" "That's right." "The joy of living vivid bliss." "That such a thing existed," "I found out for the first time." "Is this related to your wish?" "Possibly, is your wish..." "Your Majesty," "It's time for you to go, please get ready." "Alright." "I will make sure to accomplish it!" "Let's go." "You've come." "For what reason did you want to meet me?" "Isn't it inappropriate to meet me at a time like this?" "I talked with Deputy Chief Scholar yesterday, but there's something that seems wrong." "I mean the letters." "His Majesty has worked on it as a lifetime project while even keeping it as a secret to everyone for a long time..." "Those letters.." "Since His Majesty has a strong attachment to the letters, we have been promoting our work by letting him promulgate it." "However, the strange thing is that, for the made letter that he cherishes so much, he should have publicized the details of that alphabet." ""Let's use the letters since these letters are great..."" "Isn't this kind of persuasion needed?" "However, concerning what the letters look like, how many letters they are, or how the letters are formed, no one has any idea." "We have debated abstractly." "So...?" "If our deal is accomplished as planned, we let the letters be promulgated, and then... what if something unexpected happens?" "Bonwon !" "You have to see these for a second." "The letters he made, because they looked somewhat strange," "I investigated a little." "Here!" "Look at this!" "I thought this character "Goon"" "is the letter that means "the king."" "But looking at these other letters something's strange." "No matter how much I put them together, it doesn't make the sentence and we don't know their meaning!" "And then suddenly I had this thought." "What if these letters weren't ideograms, but phonograms?" "I wondered if they are divided into consonants and vowels." "So?" "Then, this..." "If this letter represents the first sound of Goon (King) or its last sound, to figure it out, I put all possible combinations together all night long!" "On the presumption that the letters are phonetic representations, if this is the first consonant, and this is the second sound (vowel), then... it's completly right!" "Now, as you can see here, the first letter written... is written at the end again." "However, the more surprising thing is that inside these 28 letters, almost all sounds are included." "If my guess is correct, using these 28 letters, you can write a tremendous number of words with it." "And you can read it." "Moreover, using the rules that I discovered," "I've solved the riddle." "It wasn't gong, gu, mang, gi." "Look!" "This... is the first sound of the "mi" sound." "And this, is the middle (vowel) sound 'i' of Shim." "And this, the last consonant sound of 'wol.'" "If you read these all together, it's "mmiiiiiillllllll!"" ""Mil."" "If gong, gu, mang, gi meant us, what do you think it would be?" "I am not sure what the character 'mang' indicates but... all together it is probably pronounced as "Milbon!"" "Will his Majesty really abolish Jiphyunjeon?" "Did you not see His Majesty's will regarding the letters?" "He has no choice but to." "Then!" "?" "!" "Soon, it'll be my world." "All the other high officials have agreed with Right State Minister, so" "Minister Hwang Hee's negotiation will most likely be successful." "Yes, it should be." "We need to hurry, and put an end to this." "Therefore, as soon as it's complete, make preperations to publicize the letters immediately." "To let them be swamped... we should not give them any spare time." "Yes, Your Majesty!" "Let's go!" "All right!" "I have more things to show to you." "Gaepai is writing his own name, and Yeondoo is writing sentences with the letters." "It took just two days." "Karuppayi" "What is this?" "My name." "How do you read it?" ""Ka"" ""Reu" "Pae"" ""Ee"" "Really... in just two days..." "How...?" "How can this be?" "What is it?" "She's writing what you just said." ""Really... in just two days..."" "You can write out exactly what is spoken, and you can read exactly what is written." "A world where everyone can read, have you ever given it any thought?" "Yes." "What kind of world would it be?" "I'm not sure..." "I've never really imagined it happening so..." "Letters are a weapon." "Scarier than swords, spears, or a stream of fire." "The reason why aristocrats are aristocrats isn't because they were born into a noble family, not because of their bloodline, but it is because they know writing that they are aristocrats." "Yes, of course." "That's the power of the nobles and the basis of our authority." "But, with these letters... if everybody can read and write, the system of Joseon society will collapse." "The world will be engulfed by chaos, and the aristocrats, the root of Joseon, will collapse." "Then!" "?" "!" "What must we do?" "We must block it." "Blocking the promulgation of the letters is our priority." "But isn't Lee Shin Jeok due to make a deal today?" "Won't the King have no choice to acquiesce to the ministers' demands?" "Yes, of course." "Your Majesty," "I've received reports that Prime Minister and Right State Minister have arrived in court." "Alright, let's go." "They must not make a deal with Lee Do." "We have to stop Lee Shin Jeok!" "Stop it immediately!" "RIGHT NOW!"
