[Episode 1 Recap] Hwi is not coming back.
He is dead.
You should acknowledge that.
I do not wish to be
anyone's bride.
You dislike Wol Yeong that much?
If that is how you feel, you can come to me.
I will accept you now.
Queen Mother?
Your Highness!
Hwi
Before an extreme event occurs,
we need to get the king's will.
If something bad were to happen to His Majesty tonight,
will you be able to handle the consequences in the future?
Move aside!
Your Majesty!
Who in the world will receive his will
and last testament?
I received the will.
Until the Crown Prince is of age,
Queen Mother will act as regent
and the Grand Princes
will pledge their loyalty to the Crown Prince.
Please return to us, King!
Since you have returned at the time of a royal death,
I cannot be happy for your return
when the king has died.
It'd be best not to see a woman
who is to be married.
I'm talking about Lady Ja Hyeon.
Where are you going?
Where is His Excellence? What about the lady?
Who are you?
The prince has arrived.
He's alive.
He came to see you.
Lady! Lady Ja Hyeon!
Lady Ja Hyeon!
Yeon.
Are you well?
Are you still a little child?
Or an adult?
I'm curious.
I can't picture your face well now.
I think you must hit it one day in the end.
My brother, what were you thinking that hard?
You didn't notice even when someone came.
Were you playing like a girl floating flower on the pond?
Why? Is there something to see?
Just save your arrows. It's hard enough for the people who make them.
- Let's go together today. - I don't like hunting.
It will cause trouble if I'm absent to the morning meeting.
You can just say the Uncle called you.
Both Queen Mother and the King
can't say anything to the Uncle.
Gosh.
Lady.
Lady?
Agh.
Lady, please wake up. We're here now!
Lady!
Oh, we're here?
Ow, that hurt!
Lower your shoulders and straighten your back.
Walk lightly as if you have eggs beneath your feet.
Don't drag your feet.
You also shouldn't walk too fast.
Perfect. You pass.
Lower your chin.
Are you really Lady Ja Hyeon?
Isn't it that an careless servant was sent instead?
That's why I said to leave me out of this.
A Queen, a noblewoman or whatever
You can just teach people who want to become that.
Why don't you follow lady Na Gyum?
She was engaged already but is still working hard.
You are not even on the list yet. How much should you work even harder?
I don't know, I really don't plan on getting married.
Don't pretend.
Then why do you keep showing up to these classes on how to be a wife?
If you really don't plan on getting married, you shouldn't come in.
I'm doing it because my family wouldn't be so happy if I didn't.
That's all an excuse. Be more honest.
You're just not confident, right?
What should we do? Whether it's me or you, who wants to do it so badly,
we both didn't pass.
Ma'am, what about the next lesson?
Everyone, get to your seats.
Next, I'll be observing sitting postures and bows.
Lady Ja Hyeon, where are you going?
Please come back, Lady!
I need to use the restroom. You can continue. I'll be back!
Kkeut Dan! Kkeut Dan!
Hurry, hurry!
No! You're going to skip today?
If your parents know, I'm dead!
It's fine. I already stamped for attendance.
Lady!
It should be in today, right?
Of course.
Welcome!
It came today, right?
My Lady, how many times must I tell you?
Everything blue has been sent to the palace
Therefore, there is none available!
Are you color blind?
There! Is this not blue but red?
This already has an owner.
What about me who waited ten days for it?
I must take this.
This is not yours!
Even if you pay me more, you still can't take it!
Why are you doing this?
- Why are you like this? - Let go!
- Let go. - Ah, what's with you?
What's wrong with you?
Oh no, how could this happen?!
This is the deep blue powder pigment that costs over 100 yang!
100 yang?
This is that precious?
This is precious even within the palace!
Repay me for this right now!
You're telling me to pay 100 yang?
You plan on running away after ruining my business?
What do we do, Lady? Your mother doesn't know we're here.
You don't have money to pay then you can pay with your maidservant.
No!
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
You look just fine but...
Oh Young Master, you've come at just the right time!
Now, this person ordered it!
This came from abroad
You know it well. Joseon doesn't sell this deep blue powder pigment.
It's all imported.
That's why it's expensive.
Come.
What color is it?
What color is my tongue?
It's black.
Is this it that you deliver to Do Ha Won?
Yes, As you know there is no other place who sell this.
I saved one especially for you, Young Master.
But this customer just went and spilled it all over!
One yang.
Just one yang is enough as compensation for it.
It's not one yang but a hundred yang.
If this is genuine, even 100 yang would not be enough.
It's just blue that was mixed with burned soot from a pine tree. It's fake.
One yang is a waste.
Fake? What do you mean fake?
How dare you sell me fake items?
No matter how ignorant the customer is how dare you try to swindle them?
Ig-Ignorant?
Do you need to be dragged into the police bureau before you get a hold of yourself?
Save me young master! I didn't do it on purpose.
Getting Sim Jung Cheong is near impossible.
All along, I've been selling with conscience.
And only genuine items.
Terminate our deal.
Inform them in Do Hwa Won to change their supplier.
Understood.
Ha! You...
There you go.
Aigoo!
Excuse me.
Thank you, if it wasn't for you we would have paid 100 yang.
For someone who paints, how can you not be sharp about colors?
I only got upset because he did something mischievous with colors, which you cannot and should not play tricks with.
You don't have to be thankful to me.
But, how did you know I painted?
Your hand, which holds a brush.
How can I not know when the scent of plum blossoms pigment is this strong?
But, you should apologize.
How dare you touch a woman's skirt?
This is an unforgivable offense.
You should be relieved and thank me for not giving you a slap.
Since I denied your thanks,
you can think of it as the apology I owe you.
While we're at it, let's forget what happened today.
You're not only rude but also mannerless.
What makes you think you can speak lowly to me?
Even if she's from a noble family you think you can speak lowly to her because she's a woman?
Miss,
You shouldn't do this. This person is—
It looks like you're a yang ban ( noble ).
But it can't be a good family.
Can't say much about you too.
Then why don't you speak informally, too?
You already are. I'll give you permission to.
I don't know who you are or where you're from
But I will get the payment for what happened today.
-You're curious about who I am? -Young master.
I am
Lee from Gwangwangbang.
If you have anything to say, come find me anytime.
Don't forget.
My face, my name.
He has a gentle face
but his temper is not at all appeasing.
This is why I don't want to get married.
All eight provinces of Joseon are filled with men just like him!
You're also something, Lady.
What?
But, do you smell paints from me?
I'm not really sure.
But, this, agh!
Are the girls from peasant families all like that?
I don't know.
We've never met any girl from any peasant family.
Kind and helpful but being taken as some pervert.
This is an insult.
With previous circumstance, I might understand their reaction...
Na Gyeom, you rushed for no reason.
If you waited a bit, not just a wife of the second prince.
Instead, you could've been a queen.
When you got that position winning over your own sister,
wouldn't it be better if you could become a queen?
The order to select the queen will come down right away.
If you want that position, you should go for it yourself.
I don't like the palace.
When you become the nation's mother?
There are rumors that the king is weak, you know.
Isn't it the truth that everybody knows since he was a prince?
But, do you think I would consider it a pity?
I just feel that your situation and mine are different.
I just want a cool man. But you.
Don't want that do you?
I'm also not interested in the Crown Prince.
You're satisfied with the Grand Prince?
For men, the future is more important than their current standings.
You want to see the Grand Prince's ability?
Are you able to ascertain the Grand Prince's health and physical well-being?
It's a rumor. They do say that he catches tigers with his hands.
But who knows? Rumors are often exaggerated.
You've already looked into him?
Yes!
Oh! There it is!
You have improved greatly.
I guess no one can win you in archery.
You want to place the second prince, not the Crown Prince?
What do you mean by that?
His Majesty is still very young.
The State Funeral has already ended so we have to hurry and bring in a Queen! Left State Minister Kim Chu
So we can produce heirs!
This hasn't been in the records for three to four years.
The position of the Crown Prince has been decided for over 20 years.
It's been more than 10 years since you were married, yet you don't have an offspring.
Right State Minister Park Bu Gyeong Now, the queen's seat is vacant, too. We need a second crown prince in line at least!
It is our job to decide the heir to the throne!
Chief Royal Secretary Sim Jeong Don't you know that your words could be considered treason, Right State Minister?
How can you not know your position?
It's not loyalty if you just butter up your words.
To the north, there's been ceaseless attacks from the Chinese.
To the south, the Japanese are pirating endlessly.
Minister of General Affairs Do Yeon Soo In a tumultuous political state, deciding on the next heir is a wrong move!
What impudence are you spouting?!
All event has its process.
Deciding the next heir is important,
but right now it is important to fill the empty seat of the Queen.
Do not fight.
Both Left and Right State Ministers have different thoughts.
It is right to have a Queen for the nation.
However, it hasn't been long since the state funeral.
I will decide what comes first after I discuss with my mother.
Just know that.
Your Majesty,
Your filial duty to your parents is most admirable.
But the royal wedding is not a personal affair,
it is something the whole nation will see.
We have no time. It's the best if you could place a queen-
You know the Queen well.
I will discuss this with my mother.
The Left State Minister is training his daughter to become the next Queen.
It will not go to plan.
Do you think the ill concubine who had to leave the palace will be able to do anything?
In any case, the Queen Mother
is trembling because her daughter-in-law is ill.
Whether we order the selection of the queen or let one of the Royal Consorts serve him...
We must decide on the installation of the crown prince.
Is the Lady Hyo feeling better?
Yes. She is almost fully recovered.
That's a relief.
Lady Hyo should return as soon as possible and take care of the Royal Highness.
That's what I'm saying.
Even if she is recovering, we need to take caution.
Do not worry too much about the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Shim
How did it go at the residence?
We are doing our best to protect the royal line.
The future of our nation is in your hands.
Bring her in secretly before she shows any signs of pregnancy.
The State Funeral has barely ended.
In the meantime what were you out doing?
Grand Prince Eun Seong : Lee Hwi
I had something I wanted to find.
You are not a painter but this country's prince!
It's something that can be handled by your subordinates.
You even missed your lecture. What are you doing? Jonghak - An agency that took care of educating the royalty
Looks delicious!
Ah.
Eat lots.
I'm sure you didn't even get to see any meat since you were in mourning. Prince Yang Ahn
At the palace today, I'm sure they discussed the installation of the crown prince fervently.
The State Funeral has ended so they will slowly start pressuring them.
In the Yoon family, the father does not even hold a lot of power. How can that help us?
My would-be in-law's family is poor and inferior.
It was a marriage arranged by the late king. What can you do about it?
Accept it and you can pave a way to strengthen your in-law's family.
Jajun, there son, is my house guest.
To you, he'll be your older brother-in-law.
Without any royal offspring, the next one in line for the crown is you. There's no need for you to be anxious.
For now, take a break from using your bow and arrow,
and start practicing riding your horse more. A polo competition will start soon.
The late King died and even the Queen died. With continual funerals, the entire country is in mourning.
I've petitioned the king to have a polo tournament in order to boost the public's mood.
Here.
Go and show us what you've got.
What are you doing?
How dare you kill at a holy place where the Buddha resides?
Are you not afraid of the heavens?
One is King's uncle, and the other is King's brother.
What would make us afraid of anything?
That, that, that! Even though you are related to King,
How can you commit such an evil act at the presence of Budha?
Get out right now!
Mr. Monk. You should have some of this meat.
You yaksha-like creatures,
I'll kill all of you!
Calm down.
Hey, the people to kick out is over there! Not me, you guys!
I'm not the one!
You...! Let me go!
Hit harder!
You still don't know what the prince did wrong?
Your highness, your highness!
What are you doing? Move away!
Gi Teuk did nothing wrong.
Don't you know that a royalty's subordinates deals with the mistakes that are made?
The burden and wrongs lie with me.
Why are you punishing Gi Teuk for my wrongdoing?
Why do you keep missing your lectures?
You know that His Majesty personally keeps track of the attendance in accordance with the late king's will.
If I study hard, they suspect me asking if I have any sneaky plans on my mind.
If I don't read, they laugh at me calling I'm disgraceful to the royal family.
Exactly to what beat must princes dance to?
When His Majesty was the crown prince, I got beat for saying to want to try on the red Gonryongpo (King's attire) for its beautiful red tint.
What would have a little child had known for doing so?
What other desires must he have?
The adults... the world distorts and twists things around.
Because of the sick His Majesty,
you are not pretending not to know all the pressures laid upon us princes?
We've made a mess out of this place and we can't just go without giving a donation.
If it helps to reduce your anger towards me, Chief Monk,
you could build me a place where monks reside.
We can't stop rumors from spreading out.
That's what Uncle wants.
You have a tiger ready?
The military men were hiding for about 15 days, and we got one.
After the wedding ends, you have to live outside of the palace even if you don't want to.
It's messy for the royal family right now, so you should behave while being together with your older brother.
Do you understand?
For the empty queen spot, will another woman be selected?
Actually, between the King's concubines, there is someone who currently has his heir.
Who is it? Why didn't you tell me?
The lady concubine who got pregnant is Lady Hyo. But it happened during the mourning period.
The King was embarrassed so he did not let others know.
After giving birth to a child and dying,
he was afraid repeating the past
so he moved the child to a separate residence.
Congratulations, Mother.
All of this must be kept a secret.
Not yet... I can't put my heart at ease yet.
So, let us delay your marriage.
I'm planning a wedding for your older brother Jin Yang first.
Then... Please let me choose my own wife.
We can't make personal decisions on the royal marriages.
It is the grand prince's fate to not meddle in political affairs and make the world a better place.
So, please let me see the person I love.
-Yo-You came? -What are you doing in my room?
- Your daughter has arrived. - We had a good time.
What in the world are you doing?
What do you mean what we're doing, we're talking.
Why are you doing it here when there's a main building?
What do you mean why? I'm doing this behind the men in his house!
Don't do that. Just sit down. Sit down.
We're not done!
My daughter is okay. Don't worry.
It's time for father to come back from the palace.
Let's meet next time.
You should finish this round and leave! Are you leaving like this when I'm winning?
Please wear some clothes!
Is today your mom's club meeting day?
I'm not sure.
Why did you come home so early? Did you finish the bride class?
Why are you clothes like that?
I don't think you should be scolding me about my clothes.
Oh my gosh!
Get out, Your Excellency! Don't you see I am undressed?
[T/N: Card from the gambling game, tujeon.]
Let me see!
Move!
Aish!
Again!
No, I wasn't going to.
But the ladies said to do it so we played one round.
Tsk, wow.
I said not play the gambling game in the main room and now you hide in your daughter's room to play?
It's better than drinking!
Well, I never lost our house or lands!
Batting with Yakgwa (sweet snacks) and pancakes.
I'm just playing around with food. Is it something that I need to be ashamed about?
Mother!
Ha, really. I mean...
When our daughter looking like this, you think you are done with just sending her to the bride class?
Do you even have a mind to wed your daughter or not?
Well. If it's her fate, then she'll go.
This...! Seriously...
Even a tiger?
Even professional hunters will be jealous.
It's just that I was lucky.
You mean you caught these today?
You’ve grown feeble during the mourning period.
I roamed across the mountains all day, hoping they could nurse you back to health.
There are too many.
Share it and offer it to the Dowager Queen.
Why doesn't Your Majesty personally offer it to her?
She would be happy.
What is this?
So you gave him everything and there’s nothing left for me?
Then come late like I do, or don't come at all.
Your unfortunate sense of timing is what always gets you in trouble.
I got it from the pharmacy. I heard you took the lash defending a subordinate.
I was just hit once. It's not to the point where I need medicine.
But still, I'll accept it.
Aren't you scared?
About what?
Being wed to a lady who you have not seen?
What does it matter, who I marry.
Our father arranged for my lackluster in-laws,
so that the grand prince may have little basis for power.
I will just accept it.
Who will my brother marry?
Mother told me.
Even if I have a bride I want to choose...
I see you have someone you like.
Tell me. From who's household?
Or is it inside the palace?
No, there's no one yet.
If I can't find anyone I'd rather live alone.
Even if I go outside, the women are...
So you did meet someone special?
That's not it.
You can't lie to me.
Tell me everything.
I'm telling you it's nothing.
Isn't it better for her to return to the palace after she gives birth?
This is an heir.
There was an order from Queen Dowager to deliver the baby in the palace.
Can you take responsibility of her safety?
Returning to the palace in secret...
I've also prepared a delivery room secretly.
Until her safe birth,
Except for Your Majesty and the Queen Dowager,
I will make sure that no one knows of it.
Please do not worry.
Let's go.
Your brother as Crown Prince? How dare they!
I have been long without an heir.
It is possible from their viewpoint that they'd be worried.
Lady Hyobin must produce a son and
silence those who dared to scorn the Royal Family.
If she safely gives birth,
do you plan to make her queen consort?
If it is a son then of course we shall.
If we are to stop the installation of the second prince,
you need to keep Jin Yang from associating with your uncle.
Ever since he lived in the separate residence, uncle has taken care of that child.
It's not something that will be resolved easily.
You have to be aware.
I’m suspicious of your uncle who’s especially fond of Jin Yang.
He must be behind this matter
of the crown prince appointment.
Obviously he wants to enjoy the glory he wasn’t allowed during your father’s reign, behind his nephew’s back.
Even if Uncle has ill intentions,
it will be fine if my brother isn’t swayed.
He is a greedy child.
He's different from Eun Sung.
Is it empty?
The servants are tired from carrying it, so I thought I’d just walk from here.
Go ahead.
Don't ask to put it on.
What was she going to draw that she needed Sim Jung Cheon?
What about me who waited days for this
But how did you know that I paint?
Useless.
♫ If I walk like this along the road, ♫
♫ and walk endlessly, ♫
♫ I thought I'd be able to meet you. ♫
♫ Shadow 1, 2, 3 ♫
♫ As they disappear, ♫
♫ I walk on and on, and I meet the moon. ♫
♫ How much more I should see it tiling ♫
♫ and it filling up, ♫
♫ to know it? ♫
♫ I don't think I can do it any longer. ♫
♫ No matter how much I blame, ♫
♫ No matter where I look, to me, it's full of sorrow. ♫
♫ A place I want to go, and ♫
♫ a place where I must go. ♫
♫ Maybe, I don't ever want to find out, never. ♫
♫ Like this, along the road, ♫
♫ to a place where nobody knows of ♫
♫ When I reach there, then, would I be able to call you. ♫
♫ It's you ♫
Do you really have to let everyone know that you paint with your whole body?
Both His Excellency and Young Master,
They would finish quietly without a single drop of ink when they write or draw....
That is all showing off.
Caring how they would look while drawing more than the art itself. That's showing off, you know.
I don't think so.
Then, you try to draw and see if you can draw without splashing any paint on yourself.
After concentrating,
you just forget about your own existence.
That seems more like a lie.
Everything is good about you, Kkeut Dan, but you really don't know art.
If I know it, then what? Will I get food or rice?
In that time, it's better to dig out
another root of greens and one more mushroom.
You always do this. How many times
do I have to tell you just give any failed work to me?
I want to draw it alive.
It is alive, not dead.
Not that.
Something that's moving. Something fresh.
Chick, butterfly, puppy. You drew them a lot.
This big and aggressive.
Animals like a tiger, ox, and horse.
You have a really big dream.
Do you know what the flower garden exam was in the Song Dynasty?
I don't even want to know.
A scent of horseshoes that ran over flowers.
My ass...
Everyone failed who drew flowers and horses.
Why is that? Didn't they want the artwork of horses?
Those who won the award
drew a group of butterflies flying along
the black wind.
They didn't know how to draw a horse, right?
That's not it.
Anyway, if that kind of high dimensional creativity to activate,
I need to know how to draw realistic things.
Let's go. Let's go to the stable.
Is that a horse? It's a mule...
Horses are not the same, you say?
There is a chance.
Your brother is going to enter the horse golfing competition.
You should just say you are going there to support him and instead, look at the horses as much as you want.
There are no better horses than the ones that play the golf, right?
I told you not to do that!
I like to do with a man.
If you weren't here, what would I do?
I met you thanks to the heaven's fate.
Yes, yes. I don't even have an owners luck.
Should I do it again? Again?
Go!
I thought he was only good at literature,
he's pretty good at horseback riding.
But still, we have you. You are the best at martial art.
Still, we'd need an alternative plan.
Sorry?
Here you go.
Enjoy.
Here's Yeot (Korean hard taffy)! Get some Yeot!
Here's Yeot! Get some Yeot!
- What are you doing? - What do you mean? I'm going to go watch too.
Ja Hyeon, you stay home.
That's right. It's not a place for an unmarried woman to go to.
What are you saying?
It's the new nation that doesn't allow it. In Mother's time, women would play it, too.
Just watching can be...
You got cut from the classes on how to be a bride.
I heard that you were ditching? Because of that, you're prohibited from leaving.
Watch golf? No way.
Mother, it's a misunderstanding. It's not that I ditched...
What did you do right that you're talking so much?
Brother!
Let's go.
Father, take me along as well.
I promised to my friends. I must go.
Mother...
Today I'm not your mother.
Madam...
Have a safe trip.
Miss. You should just draw more of the flower in your room.
- Take it off. - Excuse me?
Take off your clothes.
Miss, do you have to go that far?
Let's go.
You promised.
If I pick someone from here, you have to introduce him.
How do you know who's who?
The captain of the red team is your husband and the captain of the blue team is Prince Eun Sung, I hear.
Other players must be sons of noble families.
You just need to open your eyes wide and confirm it.
Alright. Then pick whomever you'd like.
That's right. Let me have some advantages of having a friend who weds a royal family man.
Excuse me, sorry.
Gosh, that scared me.
1 Red : 0 Blue
Oh, geez.
1 Red : 1 Blue
Huh?
Oh, what'll he do?
Oh?
I thought something went wrong.
Why? Does he already seem like he's your person? And that he shouldn't get hurt?
I've known he was talented in poetry and art.
But I didn't know he was that good-looking.
The word "perfect" is for that man, don't you think so?
You don't even know anything about his personality, though.
When someone is that handsome, he can't have a poor personality.
Look at me. I was born pretty and got both of my parents' love
so I have a good personality.
You do?
Don't go in too deep.
Watch the match. They're doing it again.
The blue-clothed team will have a player replacement!
Where did Seong Deuk Sik go?
Oh my. Oh my.
Oh!
Seong Ja Hyeon, I know you're here.
Come out.
You're not coming out?
Why is this?
Get it treated first.
I didn't know he had a spike nail in him and made it run so much. It must have hurt a lot.
It's hard for this to have occurred coincidentally.
Someone might have done it on purpose-
It's just an accident that occurred during the match.
I ask of you.
Understood.
You can't just act as if nothing happened. You could have been hurt!
- Go and watch the match. - What?
You should see how the match that I'm missing is doing
at least.
Who cares how the match is going at this point?
If you were to fall off the horse and get stepped on,
You could have died.
Are you disobeying my orders?
What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
She dares to have crawled here?
If my Prince Eun Sung kept playing, the red team must have had lost.
It's a shame that you can't prove that he would've won.
Are you taking his side just because he's your fiance?
When you are that hyped up when you are not even engaged or anything,
why can't I?
By the way, I don't see Ja Hyeon. Her brother is playing, too.
She must be behaving herself. She got kicked out of the bride class.
Now the atmosphere of the class will get better.
What does she mean by a royal family? It will be hard for her to get married to someone from a normal family.
For Chief Scholar's family prestige,
She'll get married to someone.
It doesn't work that way these days.
Your family has nothing but you are going to marry the royal man.
They only looked at you. Ja Hyeon has no chance.
Go ahead and curse your friend.
I'm saying this out of worry.
Sim Jung Cheon?
Lee from Gwangwangbang?

If you keep meeting like this, isn't it fate?

Who knows?
You could be a bright butterfly.
Who are you? I need to know.
