EPISODE 13

THE SHADOW OF THE PAS

I genuinely hope

that you meet a good man

who recognizes your kindness

and live a happy life.

BASED ON THE WEBTOON

DARE TO LOVE ME BY SUN WOO

You saw Lord Lee receive

a bag of money outside the village?

Does that mean an outsider

has been helping him?

To find out who that is,

someone must approach Lord Lee.

Could you do it?

Me?

Well, I guess it has to be me.

Thank you.

Be careful.

That man is very cautious and wary.

He will not open up easily.

Lord Lee will not be convinced

until he sees Madam Camille

turn her back on you.

Then

what do you suggest I do?

Grandfather,

you must step down

as the head of the village.

That is the only way

to fool him.

CONTRAC

This is a fake contract

stating that I was to receive money

in exchange for allowing the show.

Are you asking me to stab you in the back?

This is the only way to convince Lord Lee.

What do you think?

Would the villagers believe this?

People believe what they want to believe.

CONTRAC

I'm willing to turn your lie

into reality.

In that case, how do you explain this?

Is the fashion show not a scheme

for you and this lady

to profit personally?

-Let's practice, Hong-do Kim.

-Yes, ma'am.

How could you do this?

-Again.

-Don't you think this is too harsh?

Madam Camille!

What is this fuss about?

How could you do this?

Mr. Shin has helped us so much.

Don't you think this is too harsh?

Hong-do Kim.

I'll stop at nothing for my goals.

They say kings are chosen by the heavens

and not the people.

I guess you were meant

to be the head, Lord Lee.

I didn't know things

would change this quickly.

This is all thanks to the Woorim family's

former servant that I

What did you just say?

I heard him loud and clear.

He mentioned

the Woorim family's former servant.

Does that mean Jun-h* has been

pulling the strings all this time?

How could he do this?

Hello?

I found it.

The safe has been unlocked.

The safe has been opened.

You'll find a box made of paulownia wood

in the village storage.

Bring me the jade box inside it.

Does it have to be now?

You started from the very bottom

and now you live a good life.

But all of your riches

could vanish in the blink of an eye.

Think about the well-being of your mother

and make your choice.

This is your last chance

to destroy the Woorim family

with your own hands.

WOORIM

All right.

As long as I can destroy

the Woorim family

WOORIM

What has driven Jun-h* to this point?

You must be having a tough time.

Not at all.

I am just worried about you.

There's no need.

Wait, that's

That is the storage

where family heirlooms passed down

for generations are kept.

It looks familiar.

It does?

I saw a drawing of it in the room

behind the closet in Seongsangwan.

You saw a drawing

of the storage at Jun-h*'s house?

Yeah.

Young Master.

Where is Jun-h*?

I am still searching.

However, there is a rumor

among the smugglers

that Phony

is preparing a significant transaction.

A significant transaction?

Jun-h* had a blueprint of the storage,

which means

he always had a plan to plunder it.

With the keychain in his hand,

his only obstacle

must have been Grandfather,

who is protecting the storage.

As such,

he must have taken advantage of Lord Lee

as he grew in conflict with my family

and won him over to his side.

With Grandfather out of the picture,

he could easily access the storage.

In that case

I must open the door for him.

I have told you already

that I would

catch Phony no matter what.

It is all over now.

You must give up.

I knew something wasn't right

by how smoothly things were going.

Shin Yoon-bok.

You really played me this time.

What is your reason behind this?

To make money

from selling cultural assets?

Money?

Is money really the best motive

you could think of?

I thought you were smarter than that.

Then what is the reason?

Seongsan Village.

Tradition.

Shin of Woorim.

To you, your family name

is a precious gift from your ancestors.

However, it's anything but that to me.

I was a servant here!

Do you have any idea how I lived,

what I saw,

and what I had to endure?

Do you?

-You little!

-Goodness!

Please forgive him, my lord.

I beg for your forgiveness.

I had to watch and hold my tongue

as my mother kissed the ground.

I wasn't even allowed

to seek my mother's love.

Do you even know

what went through my mind

as I left

this village?

I wanted to destroy everything

that your grandfather cared for.

Treasures,

tradition,

and the Shin of Woorim!

I wanted to destroy all of that!

Jun-h*.

Don't look at me like that.

You've lived your entire life

as a privileged young master.

Don't act like you know how I feel.

Whatever your reason may be,

it cannot justify your crimes.

Therefore,

I ask you to stop.

Please

stop destroying yourself.

Mr. Lee Jun-h*,

you are under arrest for violating

the Cultural Heritage Protection Act

and for special larceny.

I did not realize

the traditions I had taken for granted

could hurt someone else.

As the new head of Seongsan Village,

I will make the village known

by taking the lead

in passing on our traditional culture.

I have a question.

Please go ahead.

Is it true that you helped Phony

plunder the village storage?

Phony? What do you mean?

Mr. Lee Dae-cheol,

please come with us for questioning

regarding the cultural asset theft.

What do you mean?

Please cooperate.

How dare you?!

Let go of me!

-What's going on?

-Lord Lee!

-Lord Lee!

-Let go!

-Come on!

-Wait!

Lord Lee!

POLICE

Let's not go yet.

I want to stay a little longer.

I'm sick and tired.

You were the only person

I opened up to in your family.

-Jun-h*

-I should've known my place.

If only

I had controlled my emotions,

I wouldn't have been fooled

so pathetically like this.

HOLDING CELL

SEONGSANGWAN

STAFF SHIN YI-BOK

Here.

You always had this when you were sick.

My mom

used to make me this.

Don't let it get cold.

Here.

Come with me.

Welcome back.

It must've been tough

being away from home.

Thank you for your help, Mr. Shin.

Thank you both as well.

Now that things have settled,

are you two returning to Seoul today?

Yes, we have to prepare for the show.

What about you?

Well

I will stay a few more days.

I will be fine.

You should return to Seoul.

No, I cannot leave you in this state.

Just go.

Are you okay?

I am simply tired from the stress.

Do not worry.

Let's prepare for the show here.

-Sorry?

-We've cleared the air with the villagers,

and it's a hassle

to keep traveling back and forth.

Why not move our headquarters

to where our stage will be?

That is a good idea.

I shall make the arrangements.

What is the matter?

I have no right

to keep serving you, my lord.

I am sorry.

No, I apologize.

That boy was also under my care,

but I neglected him.

No, my lord.

You took me and my infant son in

when we had nowhere to go

and cared for us.

And yet we bit the hand that fed us.

It is all my fault.

I shall leave

and live the rest of my life

seeking your forgiveness.

Lady Yeoju.

Please do not do this.

Thank you for everything.

Lady Yeoju?

Yes, Young Master.

I am deeply sorry.

You must resent me greatly

for what I did to Jun-h*.

Resent you?

That's nonsense.

You simply did your duty.

I'm just so ashamed.

I know it is a lot to ask

but could you just stay?

Lady Yeoju,

you know you are like a mother to me.

My mother lived a difficult life

after leaving the village.

I cannot bear to see you

experience the same fate.

Young Master

You have always

loved and cared for me

like your own child.

You have always been

like a home and a refuge to me.

I could not forgive myself

if I just let you go.

I'm sorry, Young Master.

Until Jun-h* returns,

I will try my best to fill his void.

Please do not leave

and stay by my side.

I sincerely ask you.

Are you all right?

Lady Yeoju is distraught.

Please stay close

and take care of her.

You have a visitor.

-Have you eaten?

-What do you want?

I am here

to deliver your mother's regards.

She was shocked at first,

but thankfully, she has calmed down.

I will take care of her

while you are gone.

So do not worry about her

and take care of yourself.

And

I have something to ask you.

Jun-h*.

Were you

involved in my father's death

seventeen years ago?

The keychain you had

was in my father's possession

until he passed away.

If you were

That has nothing to do with me.

We're done.

ALWAYS WITH THE PEOPLE

COMMITTED TO THE FUNDAMENTALS

Okay.

I'll look into Father's death.

Go back to the village.

Will you be all right on your own?

Well, it's my job.

I'll call you if I need help.

QUICK MOVERS

That way, please.

Careful.

Please be careful.

Gosh, please be careful.

Model?

Didn't Franky hand you

his business card already?

I'd love for you to be

the main model of the fashion show.

I have no particular talent

for such a role.

I'll make you have the talent.

-What do you think?

-What?

Well,

if Yoon-bok agrees to it

The whole world will be tuning in

to the first-ever fashion show here.

I want to

show them the true face

of Seongsan Village.

Yes, I shall do it.

Okay!

Sorry? Yoon-bok's our main model?

Bravo.

I really have such a keen eye

for picking out models.

All right, it's time to get to work.

Look for a place for the stage,

check on the catering,

observe the villagers' fashion,

and bring in any ideas that could help us.

Ask Yoon-bok if you have

any questions about the village.

Oh, right.

Make sure to be polite

to every villager you come across.

These people value manners

over everything, okay?

-Yes, ma'am.

-Okay.

What happened?

Madam Camille wanted to show

the true face of Seongsan Village.

And I

happen to be its face.

I am glad I can be with you

even when you're working.

You two go past that hill

and look for a good place for the stage.

We'll look around here.

Past that hill?

I actually have a cardio allergy,

so I can't go over hills.

What?

A cardio allergy?

Is that even a thing?

Okay then. We'll go this way.

Let's go, Yoon-bok.

Yes!

She's just too much.

She can't hear me

because she always has earbuds in.

And she doesn't work

if I don't set her a deadline.

It's almost like

I'm my assistant's assistant.

Even just now,

she made up a ridiculous excuse

just to avoid doing more work.

It's fine when it's just them and me,

but I can't believe

she did that in front of you.

I do not mind going this way.

Actually,

I have always wanted

to walk this path with you.

Let us go.

This place is so beautiful.

By the time the fashion show is held,

azaleas will blossom there.

And green grass will sprout over there,

painting a picturesque view

full of lively colors.

When I was young,

my father and I

used to go boating here.

He sounds like an affectionate father.

He was.

This place holds good memories for me.

It is my hope

that this place can bring you

good memories as well.

Of course.

I'm sure it will.

Oh, look!

Should we go there?

-Yes.

-Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Since they moved

their headquarters to my residence,

it would go against manners

not to pay a visit

as the head of this household.

Wait.

I cannot go empty-handed.

Who are you?

It's me, Camille!

Jeez, you startled me.

What is that thing?

There isn't anywhere

to get skin treatment in this village

and my face has been so dry recently.

I brought this to take care of my skin.

I want to give it a try.

Gosh, you always

want to try everything nice.

Here.

Oh my goodness.

It feels so warm!

Are you in, Lady Bok-soon?

Your wrinkles have softened!

-Really?

-Yes.

-Right here.

-Where?

Here.

Hey there, Su-keun.

I picked up a plant on the way here.

You can keep it or throw it out.

Anyway, you seem busy so I shall go now.

How could they not keep

a distance as man and woman?

It's so good.

-Try this.

-What about this?

Did you finish the location search?

Yes.

Really?

Can I see the photos?

Why

Did you

only take one photo?

-Yes.

-Yes.

So you didn't go anywhere else?

Anywhere else? Where?

-What?

-You told us to look there,

so we only went there.

So you're telling me

you only looked here?

-Yes.

-You little

Master.

Let us have a bowl of rice soup

before we head in.

All right, let's do that.

That sounds so good!

I love rice soup.

I'm going to upload pictures

to my account.

-Me too! I'll take a bunch for you.

-I'm so excited.

-Let us go.

-Darn it.

How old are you?

I am 24 years old.

I'm 24 too!

Should we speak informally?

No, thank you.

Do you have a girlfriend?

I really want to know.

Yes, she is right there.

What?

Seriously?

Dinner is on me.

-Really?

-Really?

I heard you two

are my girlfriend's assistants.

I am treating you to dinner

to ask you to support her fully

as her assistants,

so please enjoy your meals.

-All right.

-Sure.

Please eat up, Master.

Thanks.

Please eat.

-Okay.

-Okay.

This is quite good.

I wonder if Lady Yeoju

will feel better if she tries this.

-You have some too.

-Thank you.

Isn't that Hong-do?

It's so good.

Hong-do.

I missed you so much.

Goodness.

Is she not back yet?

Who are you?

Kim Chil-bok?

Dad?

"Dad"?

I did not know

you were Master Kim's father.

I apologize for my imprudence.

Hong-do.

Why are you here?

How could you speak

to your father like that?

Don't fault her.

She has her reasons.

And who's to blame for that?

You don't know how hard it's been

for me and Hong-hak.

Honestly,

it's hard for me to even look at you.

So don't ever show yourself again.

You're right.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry, Hong-do.

But

Sir.

Goodness.

I'm just

embarrassing myself.

I'm sorry.

Do not be.

After Hong-do's mother

passed away all too early

I spent a long time losing my way.

I had no hope to keep on living,

and I even tried

to follow in my wife's footsteps.

But I couldn't do it to my kids.

GRAND OPENING

So I got myself together

to live a new life

and went deep into debt

to open a restaurant.

Welcome!

What are you doing?

Excuse me?

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

I'm the owner of this restaurant.

What?

I had been scammed.

After our house was sold off,

I felt too ashamed to face my kids.

I didn't see the point in living anymore.

Are you all right?

I promised myself

that I'd return to my kids

once I paid off my debt.

I fully and completely understand

why Hong-do is angry at me.

So I ask you, Young Master,

to take care of my Hong-do.

Please.

The least he could do was live well

after abandoning us.

You must be exhausted, Yoon-bok.

Go get some rest.

Master,

are you all right?

Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

That man abandoned me and my brother.

Not only did he try to take his life

I'm so hungry.

but he also left us homeless.

I outgrew him ages ago.

I lost my temper just now thinking about

how tough life's been for me and Hong-hak.

I'm really fine.

So don't worry and go rest.

It must have

been hard for you.

I know how you feel.

I know it too well.

I swear I brought them with me.

Here they are.

Your wrinkles have softened!

-Really?

-Yes.

-Right here.

-Where?

Why am I so preoccupied

with something that does not concern me?

Are you there?

What is it?

I'm just wondering what you're up to.

Are you finished with work?

You seemed very busy.

There's no end to work.

It just keeps going.

Why are you here?

Well,

I accidentally brought too many of these.

Take these every morning and evening.

I've got vitamins and supplements

for your stomach, liver,

joints,

blood vessels,

and even calcium.

You brought all of these

by accident?

That tells you

how scrambled my mind's been.

Good night. I'll get going.

SUPPLEMENTS

That was so natural.

These are the potential catering options

sent by the women's society.

-Here are the photos.

-Let's see.

-This place looks nice.

-Right?

It's prettier in person.

The square can be the runway.

And with some lights around it,

it'll look fantastic.

Excellent!

Send these photos

to the stage manager immediately.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, this is Kim Hong-do.

I'm a designer at Camille Korea.

We have decided

on the location for the stage.

I have sent you the photos

and relevant information.

Please call me back once you take a look.

Hong-do Kim.

Since when did you learn to speak French?

You could go to Paris right away.

I still have a long way to go.

Yoon-bok.

Have you practiced your model walk?

-Excuse me?

-Starting today,

practice your walk on stage every day.

You'll need some training

as an amateur model.

Yes, certainly.

Help him train, Hong-do Kim.

Oh, okay.

You need to practice every single day.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Yes, ma'am.

When are you available?

Maybe at lunchtime?

That is fine with me.

I can work around your schedule.

Okay, sounds good.

Sure.

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

Were you

involved in my father's death

seventeen years ago?

The keychain you had

was in my father's possession

until he passed away.

If you were

Was it him

who k*lled Lord Shin Sa-do?

Come out, Lee Jun-h*.

You're being transferred to jail.

Could I make a phone call?

No.

-Just one call.

-I said, no.

EPILOGUE

How long have you known Lady Bok-soon?

I'd say about 40 years or so.

That is unexpected.

I have never heard about you from her.

Is that so?

I've heard so much about you.

You two seem very close.

People say

we're like a married couple.

It seems she must really care about me,

considering all these supplements

she brought for my sake.

Two, four, six, eight, ten.

What's going on?

So all those supplements

you had me get were for your ex?

How did you know?

What do I do once Yoon-bok

takes over as the village head?

Whatever I do, I will stay by your side.

Even if I must travel

halfway across the world.

Go tell Young Master Yoon-bok

that I'll meet with him once.

Jun-h* told me

he would meet with you just once.

Due to an important matter,

I had to leave the village in a hurry.

I will return tonight,

so let us do the walk training then.

Is everything okay, Yoon-bok? Call me.

Two stab wounds in his abdomen.

Blood pressure, 70 over 40.

It's decreasing rapidly

due to heavy bleeding,

and there's possible organ damage.

Yoon-bok.

Yoon-bok!
