"Lord Lee Gyeom." "Your wedding day is tomorrow." "You know His Majesty has waited so long for you to marry." "Why is an item from 20 years ago back in this house?" "Find a temporary place for us." "That is not a place for a person to live." "Our Lee Gyeom has a request." "Let's hear it." "Please cancel my marriage." "Lee Gyeom is the problem." "Did you say Lee Gyeom?" "You might know him." "He is from North Pyeongchon, as well." "Find out what he has been up to during these past 20 years." "Look into it closely." "He is burning up." "He has the measles." "It is a small gift that my wife prepared." "Nice to meet you for the first time." "Nice to meet me?" " Buy this ink from the Ming Dynasty!" " Did you steal it?" "I bought it from a lady." " She lives in Soojin Room." " What?" "[Saimdang:" "Light's Diary]" "[Episode 6] It's been empty for 10 years." "There's no end no matter how much I clean." "The young masters, my lady, and you have so much laundry, too." "We have all lived like that, both you and me." "You should rest." "I'll do it." "When will you ever finish all of this?" "Let me go." "How can you be this way?" "If you left me like that, you should at least be living well." "Lower your voice." "You are drunk." "You should go back." "There is a decorum to follow even when parting." "I requested marriage and we promised to be together forever." "How..." "How could you be with another man without one word of explanation?" "Tell me." "Explain it to me!" "It is all useless now." "What difference does it make to do this now?" "Useless?" "Was all our time together useless to you?" "In the 20 years since, I haven't forgotten for one moment." "How could I forget?" "Is it so easy for you to discard your memories?" "All of those times we spent together..." "Everything we did, those memories, our promises!" "20 years was not enough to forget you." "I drank and threw everything away." "I surrounded myself with women and had people point fingers at me." "Yet, you are still here." "You are right here." "What kind of useless state is this husband of yours in?" "What kind of man is he that he leaves his wife in this state?" "Do not speak so carelessly." "He is the father of my children and my husband." "How can you be so proud?" "At the very least, I am taking responsibility for my life." "I am not wasting my life away like you." "Truly..." "Truly, do you know what is hard for me to see?" "20 years ago... the boy overflowing with talent whom I loved so much..." "I feel that he is gone forever." "Did that brilliant time in my life even really happen?" "That makes me sad... and miserable." "You said "useless state"?" "In my eyes... that is exactly how you look." "My child." "I will marry someone else." "Please protect him." "I thought we would live well in Hanyang." "Is this even a house?" "Pyeongchon would be much better than this." "Hey, be quiet!" "What is this?" "I told you to be quiet!" "Everyone, gather around." " What is it, Mother?" " I have something to say." "Seon and Hyun Ryong, come on." "Hey, Lee Hyun Ryong." "Mother said to gather around." "I'm afraid this is our home now." "I don't like it." "I do not want to live another day in this shabby house." "Let's return to North Pyeongchon right away." "Yes, Mother." "Do you agree, Hyun Ryong?" "I would be all right here as long as I had many books to read." "Still, I do like North Pyeongchon better." "The family there lives there in return for looking after the family graves." "You know that is why it was given to your Andong aunt." "Our home is here now." "Therefore, you must not be discouraged." "There may be a reason for all of this that we are unaware of." "I cannot figure out what that reason could be." "I do not want to know either." "Think about the day we moved here." "It was so intolerable because of the rain." "You remember, don't you?" "I really felt like the heavens were falling that day." "Yes, I felt that way too." "However, if it is our fate to live here, how should we live?" "This is not a house." "At the very least, we need to escape heat in the summer." "We need shelter from the cold in the winter in order to call it a house." "However, look at this place." "Seon." "Then, let's make it so we can escape heat and get shelter from cold." "Why don't we try making it into a proper house?" "Give it a try with your mother." "All right, Mae Chang?" "Come on." "Yes." "Hyun Ryong, as well." "Hyang too." " Me too." " Yes." "Let's give it a try." "Yes!" "Leave." "It is getting very late." "Why don't you eat a little?" "Didn't you hear me tell you to leave?" "20 years ago, the boy overflowing with talent whom I loved so much..." "I feel that he is gone forever." "Where did that boy from 20 years ago go?" "Did I ever even have talent?" "These darned hands of mine..." "I do not know what they drew." "I cannot remember." "What do you want me to do?" "I was told to return it to you." "He cannot recall this item." "Hurry." "Stop that." "Oh, stop doing that." "Goodness, seriously." "Be careful." "Try to catch me!" "Is anyone home?" "Who's there?" "I'm from Angook Room Home." "This is for the lady of the house." "My lady." "Something arrived for you from Angook Room." "He is alive." "His art is alive again." ""The weary sunlight lights the beautiful landscape."" ""The wind blows the fragrant grass."" ""A swallow flies, busily pecking the wet dirt."" ""The dog sleeps on the warm sand."" "How is it?" "It's warm." "Eun Soo." "We may end up living here longer than we'd thought." "Is that okay?" "Yes." "If we're going to live there" "I want to make our home pretty and live happily." "I want to make lots of good memories there with you too." "Me too." "I'm okay with everything as long as you're there, Eun Soo." "Hello." "Oh, it's you, Private School." "Hello." "Ah, yes." "I wanted to buy some white paint and some rollers." "You're very different than the grandma." "Hold on." "Oh my." "It's not like we're going to be here that long." "Are they Dianthus flower seeds?" "They probably are." "That's your favorite flower." "That's right." "That's a very old pouch." "It is old." "I think it's hundreds of years old." "Wow." "Which flower do you think is prettiest, Eun Soo?" "You, Mom." "Oh, my cute son." "That tickles!" "What are they so happy about?" "I suppose it's nice to spruce things up like this." "Of course, Mother." "Even if it's for one more day, we should live positively." "If the house feels down, your heart will feel down too." "Yes." "What is it?" "Saimdang's house?" "Hey, where are you going?" "The garbage." "This is the right area, right?" "It is." "Young Bae befriended Han Sang Hyun in a school club." "He said he dropped him off around here a month ago." "Seriously, it's like we're looking for a "Mister Kim" in Seoul." "How many days has it been now?" "Let's go this way." "Isn't that Senior Ji Yoon?" " Where?" " That person up there." "I think you're right." "Senior, it's this way." "This is where Soojin Room used to be back then." "I'm sure it was here." "Okay." "Saimdang's home." "That means "Mount Geumgang" was here." "It's not like we can get into a time machine." "Let's talk over a beverage." "Let's go." "They just said "Mount Geumgang," right?" "Senior Seo Ji Yoon is with Han Sang Hyun." "We got two in one." "Wow, Saimdang's house is a cafe." "It's a complete change." "Saimdang must have looked out at those mountains too." "I'm sure she did." "Wow!" "Look at those strokes!" "It's been 20 years, so his art is coming out all at once." "There's no end, no end." "Have you heard the rumors about him?" "They say he likes men." "People saw him embracing a man in Pyeongyang." "Oh my!" "Look at him." "They say he's the best looking man in Joseon." "And that's not all." "He has the king's great favor." "He has been blessed by the gods." "It's as if they bless him every night." "This one is complete." "How is this one?" "Take a good look, everyone." "Don't go too overboard." "I'll lose my mystery." "Don't you worry." "There is no end to this popularity." "There is no end." "That is true." "Hoo, I am curious about something." "What is it?" "A woman I know received a painting." "You gave a woman a painting?" "No, I'm not talking about myself." "This is someone I know." "So, you gave a woman a painting as a gift." "Hey, not me." "It is someone I know." "So, someone you know..." "He gave a woman a painting." "Yes, that's correct." "That woman responded with a poem." "And?" "What does it mean about a woman's feelings when they respond with a poem?" "What did the poem say?" "Well, it was nothing in particular." "Still, it was a poem." "Never mind." "You may go." "Why have you been acting this way?" "Bring me some water!" "Who is this about that you are so hesitant on the matter?" "Come on!" "I thought the heat had passed." "Why is it so hot?" "Also, why must I wear clothes like this?" "Goodness." "My gosh." "There is a law even regarding landscapes that scholars paint." "Minister of the Right, please say something." "You have some knowledge of art." "Wouldn't you know about this?" "I am merely at the level of imitating and copying art." "How can a royal family member ignore the law in this way?" "Would a few paintings cause such a big problem?" "Lee Gyeom has not even a tiny bit of interest in politics." "He is just an idle youth who enjoys playing." "The problem is that the people will start to follow Lee Gyeom." "Those paintings will become standard and our customs will become tainted." "The foundations of our nation will be destroyed." "Angook Room must be shut down at once." "There is no other way besides that." "I will go there myself." "Let us go to Angook Room and see what these paintings are." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Let's go." "Mae Chang." "Mae Chang, Mae Chang..." "Mae Chang." "It's not like he's a dog." "Why is he always running away?" "I'm always the one who has to look for him." "Father?" "Father?" "Mae Chang." "Father!" "Mae Chang..." "I missed you." "I missed you too, my Mae Chang." " Mae Chang." " Father." "Oh, Mae Chang." "Let me take a look at you, my daughter." "Yes, let me take a look." "Why do you look like this?" "Let's go home." "I can't do that, Mae Chang." "Come along." "Everyone is waiting for you." "Wait, wait." "You say everyone is waiting for me?" "Is your mother waiting for me, as well?" "Let's just return home for now." "You see?" "She is not waiting." "Your mother didn't talk about me even once, did she?" "Answer me." "Just come along." "No one is here." "Come in." "No, I just don't have the courage." "They say it is better to get the beating over with." "Just beg for forgiveness." "No, no." "Mae Chang..." "Yes, you see that place back there?" "I will hide over there." "Can you bring me some food for now?" "Even if I take a beating, I need strength to take it." "I'm so hungry that I have no strength." "I'm feeling so timid." "All right." "Hide for a little while, then." "I will bring you food." " Lots." " All right." "Yes!" "My lady!" "Lunch must not have been enough." "I'm still hungry." "You can't." "I made just enough for all of us." "I won't eat dinner, then." "No, you said that last time and then had two helpings." " Give it to me!" " You cannot!" "I have to give it to Father!" "What?" "Why isn't she coming?" "Gosh, are you hungry?" "What if someone hears you?" "Have you no shame to growl like that?" "What if someone heard me?" "Where is Mae Chang?" "I'm so hungry." "Oh, Mae Chang!" "Mae Chang." "What about the food?" "I got caught by Hyang." "She refuses to give me any and says she only made enough dinner for us." "I never did like Hyang." "When we were coming here, I insisted on bringing Yoon Wol instead." "Oh, it's Hyang." "Don't be like this, Father." "Just go inside." "Come inside." "Don't talk to me." " Come." " Come on." "Don't touch me." "I'm starving to death." "Don't push me." "I'm going, aren't I?" "Come inside." "How much have you starved?" "Eat slowly." "Chew your food well." "You will get indigestion." "Wife." "Do you have another bowl of rice?" "Overeating is not good for you especially when you haven't eaten in days." "These are drawings I've never heard of or seen before." "Should I take that as a compliment?" "Exactly what has happened to you?" "Finally, the real Gyeom is back." "20 years ago, I saw a painting of a dog that Lee Gyeom did." "It gave me great comfort." "Did that sound come from you?" "[Lee Gyeom: 15 years old] The journey was long." "I have not eaten yet." "I have not heard such sounds from a human in so long." "Isn't that right, Minister?" "If we have invited a guest, we should be hospitable." "Bring in some food." "No, it is almost time for the royal meal." "Bring in the royal food!" "[Lee Gyeom: 19 years old]" "Some of you may remember." "That picture was also one that no one had heard of or seen before." "Gyeom spent his childhood in an unusual way." "So the way he thinks and draws is free and different than others." "It is a great comfort to my heart." "It is not something that will cause harm to anyone." "For any peaceful reign it makes sense for art to blossom." "I believe he has a duty to you as royal kin." "Duty as royal kin?" "It seems you will be busy in the days to come." "Allowing Joseon's art and literature to blossom." "He says that is your duty." "Looking around here, this residence seems too small." "Ah, the royal family has a large home in Soojin Room." "You are too benevolent, Your Majesty." "You should move there tomorrow if you can." "Also, you need a sign of some sort." "What would suit a place for Joseon's arts?" ""Legendary Bird."" "I want to call it that." ""Legendary Bird"?" "It's one half of a pair of legendary birds." "It's a legendary bird that is only born with one eye and one wing." "I would like for you to complete the set by finding your other half on the day of the wedding." ""Legendary Bird."" "Like the legendary birds that need to join together their eyes and wings in order to fly." "For all those who have talent and skill, but have no means." "This will be a place to give them opportunity." "There will be no class or gender discrimination." "It will be a place purely for arts." "It will be the best in all of Joseon." "I am Lee Mong Ryong from Nabyut." "I can write, draw, and play music." "You may enter." "I'm Seon Ja from Youngham." "I can draw landscapes and portraits." "However, I'm from a servant family." "So am I." " I play this instrument." " A servant does?" "The talent to draw does not exclude servants." "Who cares about servants or nobles?" "If you have the passion to draw, you are an artist." "Come on in." "Who are you?" "Go inside if you are curious." "Ah, yes." "Of course." "Let's go." "All right." "Tell me your skill and where you're from." "I'm Myung Wol from..." "Tell me about everyone who enters that group." "So, he is going to gather all the poor artists." "Lee Gyeom is setting out to do a very useless thing." "I am a ghost!" "I will scare you." "What kind of ghost?" "A bearded ghost here to get Woo!" "I am a ghost too!" "I am not scared." "I have come for all of you." "Just you wait." " I'm scared." " Just you wait..." "Oh my!" "Wife." "Come to the room." "It's been a long time, so I will sleep with the children." "Come." "All right." "Well, he said it was an insider tip that the land was for royal use." "He said it would multiply in price if you bought it?" "How did you know?" "That's really what he said." "He said it was information that he was only sharing with me!" "We have been friends since we grew up in Namsan together." "How?" "How could he do this to me?" "I cannot bear to look at you." "Even at the children." "I tried so hard to find him." "I searched everywhere in Hanyang." " That's enough." " Still..." "I said, that's enough." "I'll break his legs." "The water has spilled." "It is all in vain." "Forget the past." "Focus on the civil servant exam starting tomorrow." "Seon and Hyun Ryong are starting to lose focus on their studies." "You must pass the next exam, no matter what." "I will take care of the household somehow." "Sleep here for now and go up to the mountain to study tomorrow." "There is a quiet place for you." "You can go there." " Still, it's been three months..." " Let go." "Studying hard is how you can help me." "Keep that in mind." "All right." "Wait..." "If I start studying the day after and search all day tomorrow instead..." "All right." "Chew your food thoroughly." "I do not like cucumbers." "Cucumbers keep the blood clean, so they are good for your memory." "[Min Ji Kyun:" "Min Chi Hyung's oldest son]" "Look at your brother." "Because he eats everything so well, he is always ranked first." "It is not enough to be ranked first at school." "There are many who are ranked first, but fail on the exams." "Do not be satisfied, and devote yourself further." "Do you understand?" "Yes, I will further devote myself to my studies." "Our family does not need anyone who fights and loses." "He is forgoing sleep and working hard." "Working hard is a given." "He must win." "Let me take a look." "Are you still unable to eat cucumbers?" "That is why I told you to pretend." "I am fine." "Wow!" "Hanyang sure has many people and products." "The cost of living in Hanyang seems to be many times that of North Pyeongchon." "How much is this?" "Yes." "What are you writing down?" "We can only last about two months with the money left from getting the house." "I see." "I need to know what sells and what is in demand." "That way, I can make a living." "Make way!" "His Majesty, the king is coming!" "Get rid of everyone who received that poem." "Recover it." "If you insist on this marriage, your daughter will be in danger." "Lee Gyeom will be in danger, as well." "I will marry someone else." "Now that I am out here, my heart feels more at ease." "Do you know now how much I have missed you?" "I apologize, Your Majesty." "In that big palace..." "I have no one I can talk to and confide in." "I am nothing but a puppet king." "Why would you say such a thing?" "Since power was reinstated to the Hoon Gus and their clan they have been controlling the government for many years." "Your Majesty, you are the monarch of Joseon." "What are you afraid of?" "What power would I have?" "The high-ranking officials all call out to me, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."" "Behind my back, they treat me as if I'm nothing but an old man." "Gyeom." "You are all that I have." "You are outside of the palace." "You have lived the past 20 years doing what you've wanted." "The ministers will not be watching you too carefully." "What are you trying to say?" "I want you to be my arms, legs, and eyes." "The three top ministers and Min Chi Hyung." "I want to know how they are using their power to commit injustices." "Look into them, especially Min Chi Hyung." "I can tell merely from looking at his face that he is rotten." "I am positive that he is very corrupt." "My lady, I will do it." "No, look at the fire over there." "Why is she beating the rice cake so hard?" "I'd rather she hit me a few times." "I will just take the beating and get yelled at." "That would make me feel relaxed." "This is just..." "Looks delicious." "Give me a flower." "That looks pretty." "Take it next door." " What?" " What!" "Why are you all so shocked?" "There are ghosts in that house." "He is right." "I walked by there one night and there was something by the wall." "I fell to the ground." "Thinking about that now makes me..." "Everyone in the neighborhood says we shouldn't get close to the neighbor." "I don't want to." "I cannot go either." " Me neither." " Me neither." "Wife, may I go?" "All right." "Go on." "Is anyone home?" "We... we moved in next door." "This is for you to eat." "Goodbye!" "Hey!" "Woo, let's go." "Hurry up." "[Deposed Lady Shin:" "Formerly Queen Dangyeong]" "[King Jungjong's wife." "Deposed due to her father opposing Jungjong's enthronement.]" "Mother, please let me go." "Please?" "Please?" "You promised you, didn't you?" "You promised me that you would send me to school once we arrived in Hanyang." "You're causing a disturbance, so stop following me." "Go read your books." "Mother." "I want to go to school." "No, I must go." "The desire in my heart to go is as hot as the flames of this fire." "Mother, please send me." "Everyone, follow me into the room." "Including Seon and Mae Chang." "Yes, Mother!" "Hyun Ryong, I will tell you again." "I cannot send you to school." "What?" "With the state of our household right now, I cannot send you." "Even before we came to Hanyang" "I was filled with excitement about attending." "That was all I had cared about." "So how can you say no now?" "Why won't you let me go?" "Hey, you stupid!" "We can barely manage to eat." "How can she send you to school?" "Mae Chang, he may be your brother, but do not treat him so carelessly." "At first, I could not decide, but I think my decision is correct." "Take a look." "It is written here why I, your mother, am only able to give you these answers." "We will not starve for about two months." "However, there is not much I can do for all of you after that." "From now on, we must grow vegetables in the yard, or find something else." "We have to work hard." "We must do anything to get by." "I will be fine eating one meal a day." "No, I would rather starve." "So just send me to school, Mother." "Please?" "Hyun Ryong, that will be difficult." "Why don't you study at home for now?" "Hey!" "Brother, what's wrong?" "Brother, where are you going?" "Go away." "Hyun Ryong." "What are all of these?" "Where are you taking them?" "They are going to the Legendary Bird building." "Legendary Bird?" "Where is that?" "Do you see that house high up there?" "It's over there." "I would have nothing to wish for if I lived here." "The day would pass by so fast." "Next person." "Can I go in briefly and just look around?" "Look around?" "No!" "Please let me take a look." "No children." "Go... go!" "Legendary Bird?" "Like the one-winged, one-eyed birds?" "Or is it in reference to Grand Prince Anpyeong?" "I will have to decline gifts that are too precious." "It is not for you." "It is for the study of arts in Joseon." "The study of arts you speak of must be for rich noblemen." "Is something wrong with that?" "No, anything is fine." "There is no class when it comes to art." "The doors are open to all here." "What kind of flowers are these?" "They are peonies." "Peonies, you say?" "They are not painted often among the high-ranking officials." "I don't know anything about that." "However, they are common flowers in the middle-class home." "The study of arts you speak of must be in the yard of a middle-class home." "Why have you returned, Lee Gyeom?" "Art is everywhere." "What do you think?" "I think it is perfect in return for a peacock." "A flower and a bird." "What a complete picture." "There is definitely something there." "Seon, sit up straight." " Hyang." " Yes?" "Where are Hyun Ryong and Woo?" "Are they not in the room?" "Children, have you not seen Hyun Ryong and Woo?" " What?" " No." " Husband." " Oh..." " Confucius says..." " Hyun Ryong and Woo are missing." "What?" "I was studying and went out for a moment." "I haven't seen them." "Even before we came to Hanyang" "I was filled with excitement about attending." "What is it?" "What is wrong?" "Woo!" "Woo!" "Hey, Woo!" "Woo!" "Young Master Woo!" "Young Master Hyun Ryong!" "Woo!" "Hyun Ryong!" "Please come by often." "Do you mean that?" "You are very suspicious." "We do not know each other well, so I am wondering if I really can." "Is the study of art anything so complicated?" "You enjoy drinking and fun, while learning a little something new." "I do mean it, so please do come by." "Yes, then." "Child, move out of the way." "Leave him." "You are very cute." "Hyun Ryong!" "Mother!" "What are you doing here?" "Where is Woo?" "Woo." "Here you go." "Go to your mother." "Wait." "[Saimdang:" "Light's Diary]" "I found some sort of letter in Grandfather's books." ""I am saddened." "My helpless citizens"." "You must never reveal what you saw just now." "Can you not see this is a place only for children of good families?" "I am busy, so you can stay." "Hyun Ryong, you cannot go there again." "Lee Gyeom, you must be careful of Min Chi Hyung." "Find out whose household he called off his upcoming union with and who she was." "Find out all the details." "Are you that busy pouring hundreds of million of won into a fake "Mount Geumgang"?" "Don't even think about trying to threaten me with this." "I have my plans for all of this." "Seo Ji Yoon, was it not enough to ruin the "Mount Geumgang" seminar?" "What are you up to?"
