Hey!
Get him out! Are you okay?
Hurry! Hurry!
Don't come! Don't come! Don't come! Don't come!
Seul-ki, did you see something?
No.
I don't know anything.
It's okay. We'll find out soon enough.
(Episode 4)
What do we do now, Jung-rok?
We have to try to find a way to go back.
How? In what way?
How would I know?
This happened because the truck rolled down a hill!
If you had just driven properly, this wouldn't have happened!
How is this my brother's fault?
Who drove? It was Jung-rok!
We didn't end up here because of the truck.
If we hadn't come in this truck, we wouldn't have ended up here!
This parcel delivery truck is what made us go back in time!
How do you know the truck has something to do with time traveling?
- On what grounds do you say that? - Seul-ki, that's enough.
I'm losing my mind.
Jung-rok said he would find a way!
- So how? - Stop it, both of you!
You're right. It's certain that something big has happened to us.
However, I'll make sure to take us back,
so don't worry.
And Seul-ki, learn to get along with Hye-Jin.
No! No way! I don't know her!
Do not move!
It is a yellow-spotted serpent. I am going to make wine for my father.
This is the best medicine for numb legs.
- Kkuck-Jung! - Kkuck-Jung!
Something bad has happened
Do not make a fuss and just tell me what happened.
Your father...
has been taken to the government office.
Why? For what reason?
He went to get the wage for the beef you did not get last time.
The questioning has already begun.
That rotten governor!
I apologize, my lady.
I have to go back, but with Chun Wang's help, you will have no problem.
Chun Wang.
How dare you try to blackmail me, you bastard of a butcher!
Do you not know who I am?
How dare you try to blackmail Kim Soon, the governor of Kaepung?
I am not blackmailing you, my lord.
I am only asking you for the wage that my son did not receive.
How is that blackmailing?
I could have killed your son, but I let him go!
Does he still need a beating?
My son was a fool who returned home empty-handed because he could not beg properly,
so I am begging you for a small portion.
How could that be blackmail?
That is utterly unreasonable.
Utterly unreasonable? Oh, my. How dare you talk back to me?
What are you doing?
- Beat him! - Yes, sir.
My neck!
My legs hurt.
Unpack the boxes.
Huh?
Why is this in here?
- Han Seul-ki! - This is mine!
- What is it? - It's my practice bow I used in the past.
Oh, Seul-ki, you know how to do archery, too?
Whether I shoot arrows or not is none of your business.
That's true...
Rest well then.
Can I go see him?
Earlier, Kkuck-Jung went to see his father.
You mean the government office?
Yes, the government office. Can I go with you?
Seul-ki, it's night.
There are wild beasts in Cheongseokgol, so it is dangerous at night.
Even we travel in groups.
Sleep early tonight, and I'll go with you in the morning.
He is right. I will come early in the morning to lead the way,
so don't worry and get some rest.
- Good job today. - Thank you.
A word, please.
Seul-ki, why are you being so rude to Hye-Jin?
What did I do?
You have no reason to be so aggressive towards her.
But it's not your fault we're in Joseon. Why does she keep blaming you?
We're not in Joseon!
She's just having a hard time.
She doesn't even know whether her fiance is dead or alive
from the accident, so how hard must it be for her?
She's not the only one.
And...
she's my ex-girlfriend.
She dumped you just because you didn't get a gold medal.
No.
I... broke up with her first.
What?
- Give this to me. - No! It's mine!
- Give it! - No!
It's mine.
If only you weren't a minor...
Why? Is it not working out?
No, it's just...
What are they doing right now?
It looks like they are building a hut.
So they are building a hut within hours by themselves?
I heard in the north, nomads carry their homes with them.
I think they learned from those barbarians.
He has a light on his head. How quaint.
Did you prepare the men?
I did. Deul Ko will lead the way.
Right. My son is the best bandit out there.
So what did he say?
There are not many helping hands, so he agreed.
No, I am talking about the governor!
Does he like this idea?
Well, he is about to catch a bigger fish than planned,
so there is no reason why he would not like it.
Rotten officials! They are better off stealing like us!
Do you not think so?
Of course.
There must be no mistakes in this plan.
- I am sure there will not be. - There better not be!
- Tomorrow night? - Yes.
We will get ready.
- You two can sleep here. - What about you?
My spot is there.
You can sleep here with us. There's plenty of room.
I have to stand watch.
- Stand watch? - I need to keep an eye out.
Jung-rok, look!
Goblin!
You scared me.
These are from my mother. You can eat them before you head to bed.
There are corns! And chicken, too! Awesome!
- Wow. - We were hungry, too.
Thank you... but do you have anything to drink? Like water?
- Right here. - Do you have any cups? That I can pour water into?
- Just drink it like this! - How...?
Tell your mother we said thank you.
- Oh! - That freaking rat!
Are you sleeping?
Yes.
I'm sorry about earlier...
I thought you dumped my brother.
That's not important.
Why not? It is.
When you break up with someone...
why does it matter who turned their backs first
if you really loved each other?
Did you really... love my brother?
Good night.
Good night...
Hye-Jin.
I was able to talk it out with tonight's guard. Hurry up and go inside.
Thank you.
Oh, it can get troublesome if you stay long, so make it quick.
I will.
Father...
My lord.
Please listen to the request of this unfilial son.
I apologize for daring to speak to you when I am of lowly, unprivileged birth.
However, I will say a word to you.
From old times, it has been said that the difference
between beasts and humans is that humans have filial love.
I know I am making a living out of being a butcher...
but it is my status that is a butcher
and I should be worth more than a dog or pig.
Please release my weak father...
and spare his life.
I am the sinner, so I shall take the punishment.
You can beat and torture me ten times or hundred times instead of my father.
So please...
just spare his life.
Crazy bastard!
Like father, like son. They did not get a proper taste of their own medicine yet.
A butcher has no mouth!
How dare he throw a strike in my yard.
My lord,
he is not putting on a strike but making a plea.
What nonsense!
Don't meddle in my business but prepare for the event!
You are worrying for nothing, my lord.
As the head gisaeng, I am teaching my girls, so of course they will be perfect.
Yeah, right!
Do you have any new girls?
It is the same old thing every day!
I invited everyone in the area.
The governor official may come as well.
When I go to Hanyang the day after tomorrow, I am going to meet Lord Yoon.
Are you talking about the most powerful Lord Yoon in Joseon?
Quiet. Keep your mouth shut.
My lord, I think you should heat up the room.
I will go see your servants to make sure they do.
Cho Sun, see that you take good care of the governor.
Yes, Myeong-ri. Don't worry.
- My lord, please lean against me. - Sure.
Seeing how stiff your neck is, your job must be a tough one, is it not?
Oh, you have no idea.
Goodness.
There you go. That feels nice.
Come here.
He was there by himself all night?
You cannot enter that place without permission,
but Kkuck-Jung endured it.
He must not have eaten anything.
Food is meaningless right now.
What I am worried about is his father.
What are you doing? Are you done yet?
- I'm preparing the medicine. I'll be out. - Hurry! Hurry!
Seul-ki, hold onto this.
- Give me the bandage over there. - Bandage...
- The band-aid.
Yes.
Scissors, too.
- Scissors... - Cut here.
He must in a lot of pain, right?
Of course.
But the pain isn't the problem.
If he gets infected, he will be in danger.
It will be troublesome if he gets tetanus or septicemia.
Then what do we do?
I have some penicillin, so as long as he gets properly
disinfected and taken care of, he'll get better.
But his bones are severely damaged.
He won't be able to walk again?
We'll have to wait and see.
Oh, my poor husband!
We came all the way here because we were sick and tired of him
being beaten in Yangjoo Village, but here he was beaten again!
If the water is heated, please bring it to me.
I'll have to wash his face and check it out.
How will I ever repay you?
Don't worry about it.
You said... you came from Joseon of 500 years later.
Then what are you, brother of Lady Seul-ki?
It's Han Jung-rok.
That's my name.
Han Jung-rok.
Han of the Cheongju clan.
I see. Part of the Han clan.
- Then are you a nobleman? - Nobleman, my foot...
So what I mean is...
500 years later...
there are no distinctions between nobleman and commoners.
Then where do butchers like me fall into?
So, well...
When I say there are no distinctions of butchers and commoners,
I mean there is no hierarchy.
Under the law... everyone is equal.
Equal?
I've never heard of the word before.
Equal...
Equal means...
There are no such things as upper class and lower class, and everyone ranks the same.
In reality, it's not like that,
but there are no such thing as noblemen, commoners, slaves, and butchers,
and people do whatever they want...
and live however they want...
- Then who slaughters the cows? - Those who slaughters the cows, of course.
So butchers do exist in your world.
Those who slaughters the cows aren't butchers, but...
So it's their job.
People slaughter cows with a choice because they want to make money.
So do I!
It is just that those people don't pay us properly.
That is why I will not get married.
- Why not? - Because I don't want to raise the son of a butcher.
This cruel world.
If the son is a butcher just because his father is a butcher...
that means he wasn't born out of choice and
his parents gave birth to him without permission.
Isn't that a bit unfair?
Well, of course...
Then just don't be a butcher.
Who cares whether other people call you a butcher or not?
It doesn't matter as long as you don't treat yourself like one.
It doesn't matter how people treat you.
Also, why are people telling me to go this way or that way in this busy world?
It's my life and my fate.
I'm me.
So Kkuck-Jung is just Kkuck-Jung and not a butcher.
That's true.
You are just you and not a butcher, right?
You're not just a butcher, right?
Kkuck-Jung is just Kkuck-Jung...
and not a butcher.
Kkuck-Jung is just Kkuck-Jung and not a butcher.
Kkuck-Jung is just Kkuck-Jung and not a butcher!
- My princess, will you marry me? - Yes!
You can take me, right? Please take good care of me!
A white hand is sticking out.
Hye-Jin...
Hye-Jin.
Hye-Jin...
Where's my fiance?
Hey.
Do you know where you are from?
No.
Have you decided where you will go?
Home.
Do you know where your home is?
No, I don't.
- Where am I? - You were bound to die.
Yet, you must have survived because resentment has held you back.
You have not gained any enlightenment.
Your journey starts now.
You were reborn in the middle of the mountain,
so do you not think Buddha's grace is deep?
Well, I'm grateful you saved my life,
but at least tell me how I got here-
That is right. The first step of your journey is to
find out where you came from and where you will head.
Anyways, I wish I can find out where I need to head.
Are you confessing that you would like to become my pupil?
Sorry?
Whoa!
This is from my mother.
This is rice punch. You can pour it and drink it from here.
It's super heavy.
It's cold!
Wow, I'm so grateful to that woman.
Is she feeling better now?
She lost some energy, but she'll recover soon.
This is really sweet, Jung-rok!
Try it! You, too, Hye-Jin.
- Okay. - Hurry.
- Here. Drink it. - Wow, it's delicious.
Gosh, this is good.
What if we stay here forever?
That won't happen.
Tomorrow, let's clear our heads and thoroughly
check things out to figure out what happened.
I want to check out the truck again.
Yes, I think we should go there and find something.
I have to check on Kkuck-jung's father, too.
I need to dress his wounds again, and depending on his condition, give him an IV.
Yes, all of us must have been exhausted from traveling today,
so let's sleep early.
- Good job, Jung-rok. - Are you going to stand watch today, too?
Don't worry about me.
Quiet!
You scared me!
Go!
Let us hurry!
Keep quiet.
This is nuts!
Get out, all of you.
Release her.
Stand her up.
You have grown into a fine woman.
Let me hear your voice.
Help me!
Lady, what is wrong with you?
Why would you kidnap someone?
Hurry up and let me go.
Hurry up before I report you to the police!
Lock her up.
Why are you doing this to me?
Let me go!
She is something.
What time is it?
Aren't you guys sleeping too much?
Wake up!
That was a good sleep.
This tent is great. Thanks to it, I got a good night's sleep.
What about Seul-ki?
- Huh? - Seul-ki.
She's not in there.
- Really? - Did she go to wash up?
If you don't wake her up, she'll sleep all day long.
Seul-ki!
Wake up-
Hye-Jin, when did that tent rip?
It was fine yesterday.
Seul-ki!
Seul-ki. Seul-ki, are you in here?
Where'd she go?
Goodness, of course not.
The weather is nice, so perhaps she went to dip her feet in the stream.
We already went there and the wash place.
- Did you hear anything? - About what...?
Did you hear anything about Seul-ki from your husband or son?
Then do you know where everyone went?
Oh, there is a market in the other village today,
so many merchants are crossing the market.
They probably went to rob them.
Why? Do you want to join them?
Oh, dear! Not anyone can be a bandit!
It is a harsh job.
This won't do, Hye-Jin. Let's try the other village.
By the way, we enjoyed last night's meal. Thank you.
Wait a minute. Are you going dressed like that?
Goodness, in those clothes, you two will be dragged off before you find your sister.
Wait here.
Jung-rok...
I'm sorry.
Since I sleep with her, I should've paid more attention to her.
No.
You didn't do anything wrong. Don't worry.
I'm sure we can find her.
I thought everything would be back to normal when I wake up.
I sleep and wake up. I sleep and wake up.
No matter how many times I do that, I'm still here.
There were six of us, but it's only us two left.
Seul-ki is gone, and I don't even know what happened to Ka-ik.
We're wandering the mountains of Joseon right now.
What do we do?
What do we do, Jung-rok?
I don't know either.
I don't know, but...
we have to try.
Are you not coming? We must hurry to come back before sunset!
We're coming!
Let's go, Hye-Jin.
Okay.
What?
Do you know anything?
How could you not take care of your younger sister?
How did she disappear?
We fell asleep at Sanchae together, but when we woke up in the morning, she was gone.
How did you end up coming here when she went missing in Sanchae?
We looked for her everywhere but couldn't find her,
so we came to the village just in case.
Yoo Bok and Pal Mae, look at stores that women visit often.
Chun Wang, look into the place where thieves mix around.
- Us? - Yes!
Why?
- This is not a stranger's business, - He is right.
- Okay, let us go. - Don't worry too much.
We will be able to find her in a quarter of a day.
I hope so.
Let's go out.
Corn...
So you believe the fact that I'm from 500 years into the future?
Then you must know how I can return back to my time.
The future does not exist yet.
So how will you return to a place that has yet to exist?
I must go back to where my fiance is!
Please help me out!
You must learn how to be obedient first!
Venerable.
Venerable!
How is the daughter of Minister Hwang who will become the Crown Princess?
She was worried because she had stomach troubles.
Stomach troubles?
So she made an excuse about having an ill stomach?
I apologize for this opinion, but her fear is reasonable.
It is?
A purely cultivated plant raised indoors went out into the world for the first time
and was surrounded by butterflies and bees.
So it is only natural for her to be scared.
I see.
My innocent Crown Prince has become a bee now.
Your Majesty, I did not consider that.
That is the logic of this world.
Yes, it is.
What do you mean?
Bees and butterflies chase after flowers
while the sun and the moon chase each other towards the west.
Yet, I have no friend or companion.
I apologize, but you have me.
I think I need to go to the temple.
The Queen Dowager is going to the temple again?
She went last month as well.
I think it is overwhelming for the aged Queen
Dowager to cross the mountains for the temple.
Yes.
It is not good for her to leave the palace so often either.
What should we do?
We can make a Buddhist sanctuary inside the palace.
- (Yoon Won-Hyeong) - Park Su-ryang the others will not hear of it.
That is more of a reason to build one inside the palace.
In order to keep an eye on others, you must
testify to Buddhism to create confrontation.
The people rely on, not the leaders of each village, but Buddha's charity.
If you use those minds to win the hearts of the people,
then we will have more power.
Yes, you are right.
I had not even thought that far.
But it will be useless to just build a Buddhist sanctuary.
I know of a monk we can bring.
It cannot be a simple monk.
There is a monk named Bou at Mount Geumgang.
Not only did he master the complete collection of Buddhist Sutras,
but he is also a priest of virtue.
He has comprehensive knowledge of Buddhism and is intelligent with Confucianism.
So there is no one better to use against the nobleman.
Yes, very nice. Very good indeed.
You are the reason for my success.
You scared me!
This is where I handle my political affairs, so I told you women cannot trespass here!
Where is the merchandise you stole?
Oh... today was not market day.
Goodness, you cannot even get the right date, so how do you expect to be bandits?
Hey, stop being nosy in a man's affair!
What now?
- What is going on? - What do you mean?
The lady with the round eyes from the Ming Dynasty.
I-I don't know.
Yeah, right. What is going on?
I told you I don't know!
How many times must I tell you not to tell a man how to do his job?
Fine!
A man must go his way, and a woman must go her way.
Exactly.
- Everyone in this village is a bandit. - Right.
- So I cannot tell my husband to live virtuously. - Precisely!
- Whether you are a thief or bandit, it is your business and way. - Yes!
So I will not say a word about that, but...
but a person must go a person's way.
You know those people saved my life, right?
If you mess with them, you are messing with my life.
Do you understand?
Why would you sell her to a courtesan house when they don't even pay much?
What is wrong with you? You are the one who told me to do it!
And I did not plan it. Seo Rim did!
He is going to give her as a mistress to the governor to please him.
So why are you badgering me about it?
I am not badgering you.
Make sure you keep the boys' mouths shut.
You saw that, did you not? If your mother finds out, I am doomed.
Your death, not mine.
What did you say? You jerk!
I cannot believe you are my son! You punk!
I'm starving to death.
What are you saying?
Ramen...
Spicy rice cakes...
Now she is blabbering senselessly.
I will do whatever you want me to do. Please give me some food.
I was a head gisaeng before you were even born.
Do you think I don't know girls like you?
How dare you try to fool me.
No, I really will do everything you ask me to do, so please give me some food!
Wash her and bring her to me.
I'm sorry.
First, teach her how to walk, to move, and to balance.
She must be perfect in walking, sitting, greeting,
making expressions, and pouring wine.
Since it will be difficult for her to attempt the upper level,
teach her the basics first.
Myeong-ri.
Are you planning to make her into a gisaeng?
Can I not have my way with my object when I bought her for 20 mulberry trees?
She will not make you into a third tier gisaeng, so you don't have to worry.
What is a third tier gisaeng?
A gisaeng...
who sells her body.
What?
Kkuck-Jung, let us quench our thirst with some rice wine before we continue.
- Over here, Pal Mae. - Okay.
Let us rest here for a bit before we head down to the other village.
How do you expect me to rest right now?
I don't even know what happened to my sister.
Everyone must be tired from walking the whole day. Let's take a break.
That is right. The rice wine here is the best in Kaepung.
Rice wine, my foot.
I don't have time for this.
I will go on my own.
- Brother, why not... - Why am I your brother?
Chun Wang.
I don't even know where I am and when I'll go back!
But my sister disappeared!
So do you expect me to drink rice wine here?
No! Never! I will never be a gisaeng!
Old sayings are right.
"Danger past, god forgotten."
- Whatever. - You already forgot your promise to do whatever is ordered.
Rather than be a gisaeng, I'd starve to death.
Now you're saying you're too full to need anything.
What is your name?
- Seul-ki. - Seul-ki?
- As in "wise"? - Yes.
I'm Cho Sun.
Cho Sun?
Why?
It's just... your name seems very gisaeng-like. Cho Sun?
That's because I am one.
Right...
I don't like the stereotypes that people have about gisaengs.
They comfort people with their singing.
They excite people with their dancing.
What is so evil about that that makes you say you
would rather starve to death than be a gisaeng?
I wasn't trying to offend you...
Do you know how heartbroken gisaengs are when they hear that?
I don't mean that...
We learn singing, dancing, and writing and communicate with noblemen.
You think all we do is pour wine and sell our laughter, do you not?
But you do pour wine.
I had an older brother.
We did not have much of an age difference, so we always got into fights.
We would always fight to show off our strength to find out who was the stronger one.
I don't think I saw him before.
He died a few years ago.
He was drafted to war, and we did not hear from him since.
One of the villagers who were drafted with him told us the news.
I didn't know.
I was out of my mind earlier...
Can I call you brother?
Whatever.
So what happened?
She is not in the market, and the thieves know nothing about her.
Where did she disappear to? I cannot even see her shadow.
Return to Sanchae first.
Your sister may have come back.
We will keep searching for her here.
He's right. Seul-ki may come back.
It will get dark soon, so let's wait at Sanchae.
Okay.
- Please try your best to find her. - Brother.
Don't trust Wang Chi's gang.
They are not your average thieves.
There is a fight! There is a fight!
Hurry up!
Who is fighting?
- Everyone, gather around! - Gather, all of you!
I warned you not to touch the items in the storage!
Do you think you can disrespect me just because you are the bookkeeper?
Arrogant rascal. How dare you talk about disrespect to your elder!
You may be older, but I rank higher.
You are a mere bookkeeper, but I am second-in-command.
Well then, let me have a taste of the second-in-command's punch.
I will, so come at me.
Hey, hey, hey! Hit me!
- Well-matched! - At a tie!
Nothing short of heaven!
Fight!
My nose is bleeding!
You are dead meat today!
What is going on?
I just killed four servants at Vice Minister Chae's home.
Your leader skipped his meals to steal,
but the second-in-command and the bookkeeper are having a fist fight?
You two are supposed to set an example, so what the hell are you doing?
- My apologies. - Damn it.
What I mean is... fight properly. You got it?
Fist-fighting like a bunch of kids in the home of the great Wang Chi!
One of you two will die tonight. Go for it.
- Father... - Do it!
Look who it is. You came just in time.
You are in luck.
I am going to show you a blood bath tonight.
So sit here. Come here.
My goodness. This is rare.
There are people in Cheongseokgol who ignore my words.
Well? If swords are drawn, someone has to shed blood!
Please go to bed.
Deul Ko.
Don't lay a hand on the storage without my permission again!
Who the hell are you to tell me, the second-in-command, to get your permission?
There you go!
I told you to fight!
In my home, I am the king!
Whoever disobeys me should not expect to live!
("Joseon Survival")
- What is it? - I'm Bou, and Bou is me.
We have to find Seul-ki.
How are we supposed to find her when we don't even know the way?
Once the Chohwayeon is over, find my brother for me.
- Fine. - Okay, deal!
Your words are a royal command.
Your conduct is that of a hero's.
What did you say?
Did you eat a rat?
- What do you think you are doing? - Venerable Bou, are you here?
- I know where your sister is. - You found Seul-ki?
I think it's going to be dangerous. There are soldiers, too.
Every single moment of my life has been dangerous.
And I'd do anything for Seul-ki.
