(Episode 11)
This is not fair.
I did not get to say how I feel.
This is not fair.
I did not get to tell you that I am happy...
that you are not my brother.
These feelings are driving me crazy...
that I hate myself for them.
That is why I had been so mean to you.
You made my heart flutter,
so I could not breathe and felt like...
I was going to die.
Now, I can finally breathe.
There were so many days...
when my heart raced after seeing you.
I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
How can you die like this?
What am I supposed to do?
Sun Woo. I mean...
What I meant is...
Sun Woo.
He fell off from a horse?
His horse returned without him, so I went...
- and found him like this. - At least...
a physician was thankfully nearby.
She must be in shock...
to have witnessed her brother falling off from a horse.
Why did you call me?
This is why they say you are rude.
How can you say that...
when our roommate might die?
I feel sorry for your future wife.
If he is still unconscious,
could it be a problem up here?
His pulse is fine. Why is he still unconscious?
What do I do if you won't wake up after doing all that?
Wait.
He will not lose his memory, will he?
No, no. It is fine even if he does not remember.
So just...
open your eyes.
Please.
Why is he so cold?
This is no good.
I am doing this as a physician.
I must do my best for a patient.
He better realize how well I am treating him.
He should be thankful to me later.
Is this what he looks like?
Please get up soon.
Get up and look at me.
I think we have a lot to talk about.
Or maybe we do not.
It is so hot. How uncomfortable.
How did this happen?
What are you doing?
Are you up?
I saved you.
We saved him together.
If you are looking for your sister, she is not here.
Where is she?
She did not get any sleep for four nights,
so I sent her away to get some rest.
You know how stubborn she is.
It was not easy.
How many days was I unconscious?
Four days and a half.
What happened? Where did he go?
No way.
While I was asleep, did he...
No. That is not possible.
Where did he go?
Where is he?
Where did he go?
He is fine. He looks all right.
Did he not see me?
What is this?
Is he ignoring me?
How do you feel?
Fine.
I saved your life. Are you not going to thank me?
Thank you.
Does he...
not remember?
What is wrong with you?
Do you know how worried your sister was?
What is wrong with him?
It is always complicated between men and women.
Right. Are they siblings?
Could a man...
forget about kissing a woman?
Your brother forgot about you and Master Ban Ryu, too.
That is different. They are incomparable.
What kind of man would forget a kiss?
Then why is he acting oblivious?
Did someone kiss you?
Or could this be a new story?
Just answer me.
Maybe he does not want to take responsibility.
Or maybe he does not want to get involved.
Perhaps, he regrets after coming to his senses.
All men are like that.
They think avoiding the issue solves it.
It is not like that. It is not.
Have you not seen my brother?
His heart changes over a dozen times a day.
In my point of view, the only loyal man in the world...
is Master Ban Ryu.
Dog-Bird.
I noticed everyone calling you by that.
Did you get any better? Do you want to shoot together?
No, thank you.
Why are you being like this to Ah Ro?
Let me go.
Just tell me what happened.
I said, let go.
- It is none of your business. - It is.
As you know, I am very much interested in your sister.
I cannot ignore it.
If anyone makes her cry,
I will not go easy even if that person is you.
Do you want to race?
Fine, let us go.
Not bad, considering you started learning it recently.
Why would you learn this? You just do it.
That Dog-Bird...
Do not overexert yourself. You are still new to this.
Be quiet.
Just go and shoot.
This is the last round.
We will find out the winner after this.
Your Hwarang will never beat Master Ji Dwi.
He spent years in training to get where he is.
His posture is perfect when he shoots those arrows.
Look at how handsome he is too.
Master Sun Woo only started to learn 10 days ago.
Go ahead and beat him.
Why are you with Dog-Bird?
Connections are what matter the most.
How old are you really?
I am 22 years old.
You do not look like it.
- Then how old are you? - I am 22.
Although we are the same age, I was born early.
I was born in January.
What about you?
I was born in January...
20 years before you.
You can speak casually to me,
my friend.
You are really something.
What are you?
You have no fear, and you are good at everything.
What about you?
You are just as secretive as I am.
Shall I tell you a secret?
Ever since I was born,
I have never had a friend.
Now,
I think you are my only friend.
I like you a lot...
What is with that face?
You will be surprised when you find out...
how big this secret is.
- Wait. Hold on. - Come here.
- What are you saying? - No, stop.
- Hold on. - You shouldn't share big secrets.
- Gosh. - Sit down.
- Let the kids play. - You better be grateful.
There.
How dare you...
Why are you treating your sister that way?
If you do not want to talk, forget it.
I am afraid.
Of what?
Myself.
I am afraid of myself.
Did he really forget?
No. If he forgot,
there would be no reason to be so cold to me.
He has never treated me like this before.
Then what is this?
Did he really regret it...
when he woke up?
Then why did he kiss me?
Why did he do that to me?
You still have a habit of throwing away your shoe.
You still sit anywhere.
Stop doing that.
You remember all of that,
but do you not remember something else?
I remember.
Then why did you act like you did not see me?
Because when I look at you,
I want to hold you.
Because when I look at you,
I want to grab you by the hand...
and run away in front of everyone.
I held myself back.
That is why it took me this long to come.
I still want to hold you right now,
but if I do that,
I may break you. That is why I cannot.
I am sorry.
I missed you.
I saw your face every day,
but I still missed you.
Oh my goodness.
Okay.
It looks good here.
No, not like that.
Why is she so happy to see him?
I am sure you find me uncomfortable to be with,
but deal with it.
I am sure...
you have no other choice right now anyway.
Do you know why the Sacred Bone is the Sacred Bone?
We do not...
share with others...
because the moment we do,
we become weak.
You are exactly like your mother.
You do not know how to beat around the bush.
I do not know what the Queen...
or you think about it,
but to me, Hwarang is nothing but a tool.
An entity that may kill or be killed...
in order to protect...
the Royal Family.
We must hone their martial arts skills.
They are too weak...
to be called Silla's warriors.
We are teaching them martial arts right now.
Not something boring like that.
A training that has them fight to the death.
A fight that does not end until one side dies.
A type of training...
where they stand on opposite sides...
and the strong oppresses the weak.
Was that not your intention from the start?
The strong will oppress the weak and take from others.
Let them try it all.
What's the matter if they kill each other?
Even if they do not kill now,
they will kill each other later anyway.
That is right.
You always knew...
we had an informant in Hwarang House.
The Queen raised you very well.
I will give you 10 days.
Train them well until then...
so they do not die if possible.
Where did you lose it?
Shut it.
Find it. Do you know what that is?
What is it?
What?
I told you it was my type.
- I liked it so much. - Stop mumbling.
You're giving me a headache. Stop yapping.
Do you have nothing else to do? Get going.
Find it.
I see he is definitely after it.
Darn it.
Interesting.
If you knew who had it all along,
why did you not say anything?
If you had known, would you have killed him to get it?
Of course, I would have.
No.
I owe him a debt.
A debt? Your...
Are you someone who can owe a debt?
You are the King of Silla.
His friend died because of me.
But...
I like him.
I like his sister even more.
Now, shut your mouth and look.
Or find the one who found it.
Darn it.
Where did you say you found this?
I found it on the ground in Hwarang House.
Hwarang?
Yes. I thought it seemed special.
Who was wearing this?
It was one of the Hwarangs.
Which Hwarang was it?
It was Master Sun Woo, Master Ahn Ji's son.
This is a letter the past king sent to the king...
of Baekje when the alliance started to falter.
The King's mark was found in Hwarang House.
And it was...
with Master Ahn Ji's half-breed son.
No!
I hear...
people say I am a cruel, ruthless mother.
Do you agree?
I guess you may.
I have nothing to fear.
As long as I can protect Sacred Bone.
As long as my son and descendants...
can inherit Silla and rule...
for generations to come,
there is nothing I cannot do.
Master Ahn Ji's daughter.
I cannot lose everything because of her.
I shall kill her.
It is not that simple.
No one may know.
Even she...
must not know why she is dying.
Princess Sook Myung greets the Queen.
There is something you must do.
Your Highness.
I am not a great physician,
so I cannot know all of your ailments,
but your energy is weak and your lungs are cold.
You must have suffered for quite some time.
I am fine now.
I became stronger as I learned martial arts too.
I shall prepare medicine to protect your body.
Before that,
I wish you would become my exclusive physician.
But I am the physician in Hwarang House...
That way, the Queen...
would be more comfortable about my being here.
I was thinking about how I could let you stay alive.
However,
I could not find a way.
Kill her.
I do not expect much.
Just come to me whenever I call.
Okay, then.
I will assume you accept my offer.
I do not know what the Queen or you think about it,
but to me, Hwarang is nothing but a tool.
An entity that may kill or be killed...
in order to protect the Royal Family.
I will give you 10 days.
Train them well until then...
so they do not die if possible.
She is exactly like the Queen.
What are you thinking about?
You scared me. Why you...
Here. Crispy rice.
My good man, if you were going to bring it,
why did you not make it more appetizing?
You are so clueless.
It is the trend to eat it like that nowadays.
Goodness.
By the way...
The Princess made orders for this and that.
- What? - She sent someone...
to order preparation for some sparring competition.
She did not tell you.
She did not, did she?
I better stay on my toes.
The chief instructor's power...
is nothing compared to the Princess.
I should jump ship.
This has nothing to do with my power.
Get out.
Everything is obviously going as the Princess wants.
Why do you bother resisting?
Hey, Pi Joo Ki.
Come here.
I need to tell you something.
Yes?
Get out.
I should jump ship. Seriously.
Where were you that day...
of the performance?
I was just nearby.
That is not possible. I checked everywhere.
I mean it.
We must have missed each other.
There were so many people then.
It is totally possible. Right?
Bye.
Father.
Hi.
What brings you here?
I was passing by,
and I thought you would be getting out now.
It is the first time you did this.
You never picked me up even when I was little.
I used to get hurt about it.
I am sorry.
That is not what I meant.
Let us go.
I wish you could pick me up every day like this.
Shall I walk you to here too?
Really?
No, it is okay.
It would not be right to hog Silla's best physician.
Thank you for coming today. That is plenty.
She could not kill you this time,
so she will make sure she does next time.
Regardless of where in Silla you hide,
you cannot avoid Ji Soo.
I warned you,
so protect that child.
What is going on?
It cannot be anything good.
Ten days from now,
the Hwarangs will be sparring each other.
The Princess...
will supervise this herself,
so only the Hwarang who wins...
will receive a pass.
Sparring?
The Princess is doing what?
She has not changed.
This is different from any assignment before.
You may lose your life...
during the sparring.
Fight with your life.
A commander who fears death...
cannot protect the lives of his men.
Keep that in mind.
A sparring to the death.
Did you just say, a hunt?
What better training is there before sparring?
However, I thought...
the Royal Family prohibits killing animals for fun.
When a soldier kills someone,
is it killing an animal for fun?
Hwarangs are soldiers.
The opponent is irrelevant for soldiers...
as long as they know whose side they are on.
That is all that matters.
(Hwarang Residence)
We will...
divide into teams for hunting training.
Hunting?
You must know hunting is the best way...
to train to ride and shoot.
She is pretty,
but she is such a pain.
You may catch a rabbit...
and you may catch a bird,
but whoever catches a deer first...
shall be the victor.
I can tell where the Princess' heart lies.
It is so obvious.
If Sam Mek Jong is within Hwarang,
how do we hunt him?
What must I do...
for him to get caught on my hook?
Jinheung.
Is something wrong with the Princess?
She went to the hunting grounds,
but she has not been well since yesterday.
What is wrong with her?
She could not sleep.
She was dizzy early in the evening...
and skipped dinner.
Can you go to her?
Of course. I will go.
She is in the woods behind Hwarang House.
Go to the largest fir.
How is she so different from her mother?
The Queen is...
so warm.
What is he babbling about?
You do not know real women.
If I learned anything...
from meeting countless women,
it is...
that a woman does not show her true feelings.
The Queen...
is the most womanly woman.
What?
Forget it.
You are so consistent.
Did he not say whoever catches a deer first wins?
If the Princess catches one first,
we will look like fools.
Where is she?
The biggest tree.
Where is that?
Is this it?
Princess Sook Myung!
Princess Sook Myung! Where are you?
You must eliminate a girl named Ah Ro.
Do it within Hwarang House. Do not let anyone see.
Do you understand...
what I mean?
Princess Sook Myung!
Where are you? Princess Sook Myung!
I think this is the spot.
Princess Sook Myung!
Ah Ro?
Why are you here?
Where are you?
Sun Woo!
Help! Is anyone out there?
Is anyone out there?
Sun Woo.
I am fine.
Do not cry.
Are you really okay?
Ah Ro. Pull this out.
What... What?
Pull it out.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Are you really okay? Are you really?
Why did you do it?
You are out of line.
- Do you not know who I am? - Why did you do it?
Do not...
Do not do this again.
I will not forgive you then.
If you try to hurt her again,
I will not forgive you.
Got it?
Why...
How could you take the arrow for me?
I told you.
Wounds like this are nothing to me.
How much worse must it be for it to be something?
Do not cry.
Seeing you cry...
hurts much more.
What brings you here?
I have to tell you something.
Please protect Ah Ro.
You must do whatever it takes to protect her.
Please.
Why did you do it?
Do not...
Do not do this again.
If you try to hurt her again,
I will not forgive you.
How is your wound?
I am sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I asked why you are sorry.
(The King is within Hwarang.)
What is that?
"The King is within Hwarang"?
Does that mean what I think it means?
"The King is within Hwarang"?
No way.
The King is among us?
That makes no sense.
Why not?
- The King is here? - Make way.
"The King is within Hwarang."
(The King is within Hwarang.)
If this is joke, I will forgive it just once.
However,
if there was a motive behind this,
I will not forgive it next time.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Master. - Yes, Master.
There is nothing to see here, so go!
Now!
Let us go.
(Hwarang The Poet Warrior Youth)
Maybe it is either Ji Dwi or Sun Woo.
If the King is within Hwarang, who do you think it is?
What will you do if you find the King?
I was going to be nice for your brother's sake.
You know my brother?
I do not care who you are.
But if you hurt her,
you will find out who I really am.
Why is your name Ji Dwi?
Do you plan to stab someone in the back?
Your sister is in Hwarang House...
and your mother is in the palace.
- Are you Master Kim Seub's son? - I am.
Do you know Sun Woo?
Must you see blood and stir up Hwarang?
You must be satisfied that it met your expectations.
Sun Woo. Come to the front!
Please instruct that even if one dies,
you will not hold the other responsible.
By Hwarang's honor, I shall do as you say.
Why are you treating Ah Ro that way?
Let go.
Do you want to know my secret?
I like you a lot.
Hey!
The King's mark was found in Hwarang House.
Now, shut your mouth and look.
Or find the one who found it.
I am sorry.
I missed you.
There is something you must do.
Princess Sook Myung!
You must eliminate a girl named Ah Ro.
- Do it within Hwarang House. - Princess Sook Myung!
- Ah Ro? - Princess Sook Myung!
Sun Woo!
Why did you do it?
If you try to hurt her again,
I will not forgive you.
I am sorry.
Why are you sorry?
(The King is within Hwarang.)
"The King is within Hwarang."
