[bunniefuu]

(This drama is a work of fiction

created based on historical facts.)

(Most of the details and depictions

of the characters are fictional.)

I know you do not love me yet.

I also know that

your heart still belongs to Yeon Jun.

However,

even if you do not love me,

please do not forget me.

On this day,

this very moment you spent with me

Do not ever forget it.

I know it.

The man I meet in my dreams every night

is my future husband.

On this day,

this very moment you spent with me

Do not ever forget it.

(My Dearest)

(Episode 8)

I was so sure it was

Young Master Yeon Jun.

What was, My lady?

I need to see him once more.

Who?

Where are you going now?

Come on.

You should ride a palanquin, My lady.

I would be late if I rode the palanquin.

I even drove a horse carriage

during the w*r.

- So lend me the horse.

- I cannot let you.

I cannot.

Lady Gil Chae?

Are you not scared?

I am not scared at all.

So please hurry.

Thank you.

I am relieved that

you volunteered to go to Simyang.

When the Crown Prince ascends the throne,

he will reward you greatly.

You are not interested, are you?

I did not mean it anyway.

It is strange.

It is neither out of loyalty

nor for your future.

Why are you volunteering to go to Simyang

when it is bound to be dangerous?

Looking sad like someone

leaving his lover behind?

What are you talking about?

Come on.

You think I do not know

anything about love

just because I am a eunuch?

I may not have a tool,

(Nam-nyeo-sang-yeol-ji-sa: A blunt

expression of love between man and woman)

but I do have a heart.

Why am I leaving?

I do not know.

I have no reason to stay in Joseon now.

Also

The Crown Prince has

never left the palace

and is not used to sleeping in the open.

Can you let him sleep

on a heated floor on the way to Simyang?

Once you reach Simyang,

do not lose your temper

or be too timid.

I do not know

when I will see Your Majesty again

once I leave now.

I am intrigued to see

how fate will unfold

for that pitiful son.

- Do not leave, Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Do not leave us.

Your Highness.

We, your subjects, cannot let you go.

Please do not go,

Your Highness.

Your Highness, please let me go.

Who will take care of my children?

Stop.

Stop.

No.

No.

No.

Hey!

Let us take that girl with us.

She looks pretty.

She will make us some money.

You scumbag, I will k*ll you!

After the Ganghwa Island incident,

His Majesty announced a ban

on private enslavement of captives.

Will you disobey His Majesty?

Why is it that

you must always do whatever you want?

What would you have done

if they had dragged you away?

That is what I wanted to say!

Must you always do whatever you want?

- Me?

- Yes.

How dare you kiss me?

And you are off to Simyang?

What? "M" for "mull?"

So when we "mull over" our relationship,

you can do whatever you wish?

What made you so angry?

The kiss or Simyang?

Or is it both?

Can you not be serious for a moment?

Is everything a joke to you?

Why are you being like this

all of a sudden?

Are you suddenly interested in me?

Just a few days ago,

you were bawling because of Yeon Jun

and did not even care about me.

Oh, I see.

Have you fallen for me

because of the kiss?

What? What nonsense!

Oh, my.

I knew I had a knack for it,

but I did not know I was that good.

My goodness.

I must have been out of my mind.

What did I expect

from this flippant joker?

So why are you here?

Before you go,

you ought to tell me why you are here.

Do you believe in dreams?

What?

I had a dream

where my favorite spool started rolling

on the ground. I followed it,

but the path did not seem to end.

I climbed a mountain, crossed a river,

and lost my floral shoes while at it.

It was my favorite pair.

In any case,

someone

That person was none other than

Are you here to ask me

for a new pair of floral shoes?

Pardon me?

I knew you loved floral shoes,

but this is absurd.

No, let me explain!

Jang Hyun!

Jang Hyun!

I must go.

Watch out for intruders on your way back.

The floral shoes

When can I expect them?

My new floral shoes.

When will you give them to me?

I need a new pair at once.

I would appreciate it

if I could receive them soon.

My lady.

You are asking me for floral shoes to wear

in Joseon knowing I am off to Simyang?

Fine. I will do my best.

However, I must ask.

If I bring you a new pair of floral shoes,

what will you give me?

What would you like?

You know what I would like.

There is

only one thing I desire.

That is your heart.

Your heart that only cares for me

and no one else.

Dream on.

You think you can win my heart

with a pair of floral shoes?

You see, you are always like this.

Everything you say is a joke.

So how could I trust you

and give you my heart?

Everything I say is a joke?

Perhaps, that is what you wish to believe.

It must hurt your pride that

you are interested in a man like me.

A stray from who knows where.

A man who has been through it all.

This has to be a joke

for you to keep your feelings

for your dear Yeon Jun for a long time.

And I bet you are quite pleased

with the pure, noble image of yourself

as you tell others that

you only fancy one man.

But you know what?

You are neither noble

nor pure.

You fancy a man who is engaged.

"Pure" certainly is not a word

I would use to describe such a woman.

Hence,

you are better suited for a man like me,

who has been through it all.

Just leave!

Go and die!

If you

can tell me now that

you will never think of Yeon Jun again,

I will not go to Simyang.

It is fine

even if you do not truly mean it.

Keep him in your heart

and think of him whenever you wish.

If you can just

tell me that you will never

think of him again, I will

I cannot do that.

He is

not someone I can forget easily.

You are so cruel.

What is it

that Young Master Yeon Jun has

but I do not?

Jang Hyun! Come on!

I must really get going now.

May I go ahead

and think that

the floral shoes were an excuse

and that you came here to see me off?

I shall return with

the most beautiful pair of floral shoes.

Why are you so hung up on her?

This is so unlike you.

Goodness.

You said you never wished to be wed,

but you would marry Lady Gil Chae at once

if she proposed to you.

She said there was someone

she could not forget easily. What is that?

Is there such a thing?

Of course, there is.

Gab Dol and Gab Soon grew up together.

Surely, they thought

they would marry each other.

However,

that is not something you can control,

you know.

Gab Soon followed her parents' wishes

and married a wealthy man

in a village nearby.

She had 4 sons and 3 daughters

and lived a happy life.

Her husband was a good man.

Later on, when she was on her deathbed,

she tightly held her husband's hand

and said this.

"Gab Dol."

"I will go first and wait for you,"

"but take your time."

Gab Soon never forgot about Gab Dol.

It is not a feeling

you can easily get rid of.

No one,

not anybody, can change that.

Forever, until you die.

Who is that man?

You saw everything. Why are you asking?

Forget about Young Master Yeon Jun now.

To me, Young Master Yeon Jun

is not just any man.

When I think of him,

I remember the days

when I was the most beautiful.

Can you

erase your most beautiful days

from your life?

Young master.

How shameless of me.

Your father passed away,

and the Crown Prince

has been taken away as a hostage,

but I am here, trying to satisfy my greed.

Your greed?

I am an incompetent person.

But there is someone

who does not think of me in that way.

When I am with her,

I feel like I become a decent man.

My lady.

Will you be my wife?

I forgot I had to help the teacher

with his meal.

When women are violated

by the foreign intruders,

they will face death.

And how could women continue to live

even after a brief encounter?

"Unfortunately, I lost my husband."

"How can I let another man

hold my wrists?"

And she cut off her wrists.

How appropriate is her heart

that wants to keep her chastity?

Why are you not sleeping?

Did Young Master Yeon Jun propose to you?

But are you not happy?

- For a long time

- I have no right.

If you show your skin to a man,

it means you have failed

to preserve your chastity.

But a foreign intruder grabbed my skin.

But how can I

I cannot.

I do not have the right.

- I

- I have no idea what you are saying.

Did you forget?

That day,

we got lost,

so our clothes ripped

and we started bleeding.

Nothing happened to us that day.

The person

that Young Master Yeon Jun wants

is you.

The person who can make

Young Master Yeon Jun happy

is also you.

So the person

who has the right to become his wife

is you and you only.

Wife, drink the tea.

Husband, drink the tea.

I have not once questioned it.

I believed with all my heart

that the man in my dreams

would be Young Master Yeon Jun.

Watching him being affectionate

to another woman

was not bad.

Perhaps I was glad

that a man as kind as he existed.

The man in my dreams

had to be Young Master Yeon Jun.

But

even after realizing that Young Master

Yeon Jun loves Eun Ae instead of me,

I do not feel that sad.

Did something vanish?

Or

did a new feeling sprout inside my heart?

You may go ahead.

I have somewhere to stop by in Uiju.

In Uiju?

I will see you in Simyang.

Let us go.

Hey.

Why is he so self-centered?

Hey!

Since the intruders

rushed in like a flood,

all the people of Uiju

ran to Yang Chun for help.

It was a bloodbath,

and a lot of people fled.

After that, well

Where did the old man go?

When the Qing soldiers

first invaded our land, they were fast,

so they did not plunder much

from Hwanghae Province

or Pyongan Province.

But during this time of retreat,

they remain in multiple locations

to plunder and extort,

and the effect is quite disastrous.

On their way back to the Qing,

they must pass

through mountain ridges and valleys.

The horses are limping and dying.

They are suffering greatly.

It is farming season,

but everyone has been taken c*ptive,

so there is no hope for cultivation.

The people are going through

a miserable time.

(Simyang)

This is not bad.

I looked into it,

and the owner is a gambling addict,

so he is going to offer

this lodging facility for sale.

(Yeogak: a lodging facility for merchants

that also sells goods on consignment)

That is good.

I should swallow

this lodging facility soon.

We should make a lot of money

to make an Usimjeong branch.

What?

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

Right. Ryang Eum.

You should look into

how the Crown Prince

deals with the foreign intruders.

When it comes to business,

you need to keep a close eye

on the people who run the country.

(Simgwan: the Crown Prince's quarters

in Simyang)

I am relaying the thoughts

of His Majesty, the Emperor.

His Majesty considers it very important

to catch the Joseon prisoners

who have escaped.

How is it that the Crown Prince

is indifferent about this matter?

How dare you stare

at His Highness like that?

We are not breaking our promise.

We just have no choice.

The grass is so tall right now,

so there is no way of finding the escapees

if they hide in the grass.

There is no point in telling me.

There are numerous escapees

that have crossed the river,

but not a single one

has been caught and sent back.

What on earth are you doing?

His Majesty has prohibited tobacco

for a while now.

But they were brought in once again.

Do the Joseon people

not even listen to their Crown Prince?

Does your country not have any discipline?

A person caught with tobacco

will receive 80 lashes with a leather whip

and have their ears pierced.

Receive the command of the Emperor.

Why have you not sent the promised troops?

Have you forgotten the firm pact

made below the mountain fortress?

Are you trying to betray us?

Do the Crown Prince and Prince Bong Rim

not intend to return to Joseon?

Has the King of Joseon abandoned

the Crown Prince and Prince Bong Rim?

If I

refuse Joseon's troops,

the Crown Prince's fate

will also become uncertain.

Is that right?

Yes, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince

of Joseon is very stern.

Should he be punished

for lifting his head up

while reading His Majesty's edict?

If the Crown Prince does not

reconcile with us until the end,

there is nothing we can do.

In Simyang, there is Prince Bong Rim.

In Joseon,

there is the Crown Prince's son.

Even if the Crown Prince

gets lost in Simyang,

there are many

who will follow my intentions.

Looking at the era of constant change,

it is like a lesson from the past.

The way of governing is to examine it

deeply, not just superficially

Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness.

Urging him to send provisions

and escaped prisoners,

they pressured the Crown Prince.

But His Highness stood strongly.

Khan was very displeased with it,

and he is pressuring

the Crown Prince in every matter.

His Highness shed tears during the study,

and his illness deepened.

I am greatly concerned for him.

I am worried

that the Crown Prince

might break under this pressure.

Jang Hyun,

- about opening a branch of Usimjeong.

- Yes?

How about Namwon?

That sounds good.

I will manage it.

That sounds great.

But if we set up a Namwon branch,

Ryang Eum has to come

and sing once a week.

Right. You tell him.

Have you seen Ryang Eum

listening to what I say?

All right.

Ryang Eum.

Have you looked into

the Crown Prince's affairs?

I have, but it does not seem easy.

The intruders whipped the people

who secretly brought in the tobacco

and threatened the Crown Prince.

He even cried in front of his subjects.

He cried?

The Crown Prince?

He probably will never be able

to return to Joseon

and die here.

No way.

Khan's father, Nurhaci, came between

the Emperor of the Ming

and Yuan Chong Huan,

eventually causing

Yuan Chong Huan's death.

You think Nurhaci's son would not use

the manipulative tactics

against Joseon's King and Crown Prince?

These intruders

will definitely subtly manipulate

the relationship between

Joseon's King and Crown Prince.

If he is being rigid in everything,

it will lead to his demise.

But that is not my concern.

Let us go.

I have a separate business

to attend to in Simyang.

That guy over there

says he will sell 100 geun

of tobacco for 150 nyang,

but in reality,

he would sell it for 100.

And that guy,

he vowed to buy

100 geun of tobacco for 300 nyang,

but deep down, he is willing

to pay up to 350 nyang.

So,

if I act as an intermediary,

let them sell and buy at 250 nyang,

take 50 nyang as a commission,

this guy will earn 100 nyang more,

and that guy will save 50 nyang.

What do you call this clever scheme?

Economic innovation.

So, if we bring in items

that cannot be obtained here,

we will make significant profits.

But if we are caught smuggling

What has gotten into you?

We did these things often in Uiju.

It is different from Uiju.

How so?

I am here as an interpreter for Joseon.

(Cheongyeok: An official who translates

the Manchu language into Joseon language)

The people from the royal family

who trade with me

will back me up.

It is top quality.

How much do you have?

Where do you find

quality tobacco like that?

We are not here to do business.

We are here to drink.

Even if you cross the border

to dig up ginseng, you might die.

Even if you secretly trade ginseng,

you might die.

That is why

you are operating in secrecy.

Trading with the Qing interpreter

would be honorable, right?

Of course,

you would have to pay him a little.

A Qing interpreter?

He is over there.

Jang Hyun!

Jang Hyun! This is bad.

Brother.

All the people selling ginseng

and tobacco are gathering here.

Now, where should I spend the money?

Ryang Eum.

Try to find a big sword

the intruders like.

Dorgon is seriously ill.

Joseon's bamboo medicine

is said to have good effects.

Can you get it?

Previously, I got the bamboo medicine

and the blue bamboo upon request.

But I do not know about this time.

Bamboo medicine is not something

you can find so easily.

His Highness is treating

Jung Myung Soo poorly.

If he fails to get the bamboo medicine

When it comes to getting things

from Joseon, you must ask him.

You can find anything if you ask him.

For that, even the royal family

wants to keep him around.

Recently, he got the Emperor

a big sword too.

Who is this man?

We are still doing business

with the Qing and Japanese intruders.

But now that you have

the title of interpreter,

you suddenly look

smarter and more confident.

And we are earning twice as much.

Who is Lee Jang Hyun?

I have heard that you go to

Bonghwangseong to buy things.

By any chance, are you

doing business here?

The interpreter is expected to pay

for the round trip.

So it has been allowed

for the interpreters

to trade ginseng and tobacco.

Is that why you prioritized

obtaining money over serving His Highness?

I heard you gave the Emperor

a big sword and flattered him.

How dare you lift your head!

Is there anything you need, Your Highness?

Is there someone

you need to flatter?

How dare you!

Dorgon is looking for the bamboo medicine.

Can you find it hastily?

Dorgon found the bamboo medicine?

Yes.

He presented

the high-quality one to His Majesty

and got highly praised.

How did he manage to find it

when I failed to find it?

I heard there is a competent one

among the interpreters they brought along.

Interpreter?

There is an interpreter

that I do not know?

He rarely visits the Joseon Embassy.

He seems to visit Bonghwangseong often

to find what he needs.

Getting in contact with him seems

to be the fastest way

to find the rarity.

Why do you not hire him

as your underling, sir?

This is maddening.

How can we find the leaf

that only grows in the Ming?

You are

It has been such a long time.

I meant to visit you to say hello.

I thought you died from smallpox.

I nearly died.

I volunteered to go to Ganghwa island,

hoping to join the army.

However,

I was taken c*ptive by Joseon's army.

I thought

they would k*ll me.

But because

I am fluent in Qing's language,

they said they would spare me

if I worked as their interpreter,

so here I am.

Do you expect me to believe that?

So you suspect me?

Both Choi Do Ri and Mak Dong

became Qing's interpreters

after being taken c*ptive.

So how come you do not believe me?

Do you think

I will let you off like this?

I suppose you think that I am a spy.

I swear,

I am not a spy.

I should not be a spy. Am I wrong?

If His Majesty finds out

that you failed to catch a spy

even after pulling out his six toenails,

will you be spared?

If you

wish to take my life,

kindly give me a heads-up.

I must let the royal family know

that I can no longer

supply them with the goods.

Remember Ha Seo Guk?

Did I tell you

what happened to that spy in the end?

In the end,

he got caught and died.

His eyeballs and tongue were ripped out,

and his feet were cut off.

I swear

there will come a day

when I will take your life

exactly in that manner.

Will we be all right?

Today, I must see your face

no matter what.

So turn around at once

No!

The man you have been seeing

in your dreams was bleeding?

Yes.

It has never happened before.

They said going to Simyang was like

asking to get k*lled.

I suppose you had such a dream

for you were worried.

Yes, I think so too.

Wait, Simyang?

What does that have to do with me?

Let me think.

Who went to Simyang?

Young Master Jang Hyun.

No!

I have not even seen that man's face.

He is not Young Master Jang Hyun!

My gosh.

You have not seen that man's face yet?

Then you must check his face

the next time you see him in your dream.

It is not like I can control my dreams.

I know what you can do.

This stone possesses divine energy.

Wash it with clean water in the morning

and wrap it in this red silk.

Fall asleep

while holding this in your arms,

and you will see his face in your dream.

But remember this.

This stone must not touch the floor.

Do you believe such a superstition?

Then shall I just take this?

- Madam Bang Doo.

- Yes, my lady.

Oh, why bother moving that heavy thing?

Just toss it. In that corner.

- Shall I?

- Yes.

- Right here?

- Sure.

I will leave it here, then.

Does that stone truly possess

some kind of divine energy?

There is no such thing.

She is the real prankster, that one.

Your Highness.

Yesterday, an official from Qing

asked if we had evidence

that Jung Myung Soo embezzled

the gifts for His Majesty.

General Yong Gol Dae will be here soon

to find out more.

How about we tell them all the details

about how he has been embezzling

all the silver from Joseon

and how he stole the persimmons and pears?

That reminds me.

Once, I saw Jung Myung Soo

putting aside 1,000 persimmons

out of the 10,000 persimmons from Joseon.

I asked him why he was not taking them.

He said to me,

"I will take them when they are needed."

"Joseon's Crown Prince

should mind his own business."

How dare a mere interpreter

embezzle His Majesty's gifts

for the Emperor?

There is more.

When Jung Myung Soo was in Joseon,

he whipped the Assistant Section Chief

of the Ministry of Defense.

(Jwarang:

Senior sixth-rank in the Six Ministries)

A servant did that.

That lowly servant.

Right.

I did hear that Jung Myung Soo

was a servant in the past.

Please allow me to have an audience

with His Highness.

Your Highness.

I suggest you listen

to what Interpreter Lee has to say.

Your Highness.

It is not too late yet.

Please do not report Jung Myung Soo.

And

even if you know something

about this matter,

you must pretend

not to know about it at all.

Are you saying

I should sit idly by

and watch him as he steals

from both countries like a sneaky rat?

He is dangerous for he is like a rat.

The silver and persimmons

that rat stole.

Who do you think he shared them with?

Who is the person

that has been working most closely

with him?

Your Highness!

You are to receive

His Imperial Majesty's order.

"We have found evidence that"

"Jung Noe Kyung framed

and falsely accused Jung Myung Soo."

"Since the people of Joseon

are my subjects,"

"they must follow my law."

General.

Your Highness.

Were you involved in this too?

Your Highness.

His Majesty has entrusted me

with all matters regarding Joseon.

By reporting Jung Myung Soo for embezzling

the gifts for His Majesty,

you tried to cause me harm.

If you help Jung Noe Kyung

who was after me,

it means you are determined

to eat my flesh.

Your Highness.

If you truly were not involved in this,

everyone who schemed this

with Jung Noe Kyung

must die at your hands.

Eun Ae,

are you sleeping?

You know, during the w*r,

I knew you were suffering while fleeing,

but I went to His Majesty instead of you.

I did not know how a person like me

could save His Majesty,

but I had to go to His Majesty

even if it meant I would die.

Do you know why?

I lost my parents,

but the elders of Neunggun-ri raised me.

I was always thankful.

So

there was never a day that I felt at ease.

I wanted to repay their favor.

I wanted to show them

how well I was raised,

even without a father.

It is okay now.

I have His Majesty.

If I help His Majesty

become a good and wise king,

the elders in Neunggun-ri

will be so proud.

Eun Ae.

I am going to show my loyalty

to His Majesty.

I am going to give it my all

to make His Majesty a good and wise king.

Recently,

many officials have stepped down,

using illness as an excuse.

What is the reason?

Are you looking down on me?

Do you think I am dirty for bowing down

to the foreign intruders?

Your Majesty,

ever since the Crown Prince

has been taken hostage,

tears have not stopped falling

from the people's faces.

All of the people are hoping

for His Highness to return

and preserve the state.

But Your Majesty,

it immediately showed that you despise

hearing anything that is offensive,

and you are not capable

of getting rid of your prejudice.

You are also unable

to calm your eagerness to win,

so how will you do great things

for your country?

So Your Majesty,

rather than suspecting the motives

of the officials' resignments,

may you self-reflect

and lead yourself

in the right direction.

The King loving his people,

the officials advising the King,

and the King listening to his officials.

These are what are right.

That way, the intruders will be edified,

the world will be moved,

and the Crown Prince

will be able to return.

Very well.

Officer Nam, you are right.

I need to stand upright first.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

I was deeply moved by your courage.

So I would like to entrust you

with an important task.

Shortly, I need to send a head official

to the Qing to greet Khan.

Who else could show

Joseon's upright integrity

in front of the foreign intruders?

There is only you.

Are you sure that stone is effective?

I could not see his face at all.

Did you sleep with it in your arms?

Are you sure you did not

let go of it while sleeping?

I am pretty sure I was hugging it tightly.

Did you hear the news?

Officer Nam

has been locked up.

His Majesty appointed him

as a head official,

but Officer Nam rejected his offer, saying

he could not go to the Qing to greet them.

So His Majesty was infuriated

and punished him

for committing 1 of the 10 big crimes.

(Daebulgyeongjoe: 1 out of

the 10 abominations listed)

(in "The Great Ming Code")

Move.

Confiscate the family fortune

of the great offender, Nam Yeon Jun!

The foreign intruders.

The foreign intruders are here!

The foreign intruders!

The foreign intruders.

We have to go to Neunggun-ri.

We could get a lot of money

if we sell this.

Not this.

Not this.

Did you hear the news?

- People are returning from Simyang.

- What?

They are sending people from Simyang

because of the memorial service,

and some are coming back for good.

You know the elderly lady

in the village next door, right?

She was so gaunt

after her husband left for Simyang,

but after hearing that he would be back,

she was full of energy.

Then

Young Master Jang Hyun

might come back as well.

My Lord!

Darling!

- Goodness, Darling.

- Goodness.

- There he is.

- Where?

- Where is he?

- Goodness.

- Dae Man!

- Dae Man!

- Goodness.

- Dae Man.

- Goodness.

- Are you okay?

- Goodness.

- Goodness.

Is he going to be late?

You are a mess!

So

why did you blow things out of proportion?

- How dare you

- Yes.

A person like me does not know much.

But

when it comes to the foreign intruders,

you should ask me.

Can you not tell?

Jung Myung Soo

is just Yong Gol Dae's hands and feet.

Hey.

Then will we live or die?

I doubt they will k*ll us.

So if you want to live,

give a bribe to either Jung Myung Soo

or Yong Gol Dae

- Drag him out.

- Yes, sir.

Get up.

He did not frame you.

That is right.

He has no interest in others.

He knows that General Yong Gol Dae

trusts you the most.

How could he have done such a thing?

Please trust us.

Is that so?

I also do not believe

that Lee Jang Hyun is that foolish.

However,

the Crown Prince of Joseon sent

a massive amount of gold as a bribe

in order to save Jung Noe Kyung,

but he failed.

There was an order to send

the belongings of Jung Noe Kyung

and those who will be beheaded to Joseon.

Seeing how such an order has been issued,

it seems Lee Jang Hyun will surely die.

k*ll him.

Yes, sir.

You are a c*ptive

who ended up becoming the interpreter?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I already told General Yong Gol Dae

how I ended up here

as a man of humble origin.

Yes.

It is very common

for the captives

to work as an interpreter.

Right.

However

In Joseon, someone spread a false rumor

to the Qing troops

that the Emperor had gone mad.

By any chance, are you

the one who spread

that rumor?

You are looking for an interpreter

who went to Simyang?

What is his name?

It is Lee Jang Hyun.

There are

too many interpreters, you see.

Lee Jang Hyun.

He sounds like the interpreter

who died along with Jung Noe Kyung.

He died?

If you visit the government office,

you will find the articles

left by those who died in Simyang.

If you find his articles there,

it means he is clearly dead.

There it is.

Where is my son?

My dear.

Come back.

Come back.

My son.

What do I do?

You know,

I plan to hold on

to this ribbon until I die.

If the wife holds the clothing

he used to wear

and calls his name three times,

he might come back to life and return.

Young Master Jang Hyun!

Come back.

When you come back,

I will never be harsh to you again.

Young Master Jang Hyun!

Come back.

There is something

I did not get to say yet.

So

Come back, Young Master Jang Hyun!

Young Master Jang Hyun!

Young Master!

Young Master!

(My Dearest)

Take all my heart.

Do not leave. Stay with me.

Lady Gil Chae, you must live.

You must live

for the good days ahead of you.

He is dead. Stop thinking of him.

Buy all the coins you can find

in the market.

Look!

Those useless coins turned

into this precious brass bowl.

I told you.

I would much rather count on you

than a few weak scholars.

Do not come back again.

I plan to live to 100.

Let us meet again.
