(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 war.
- 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.
No.
Hey!
Let us take that girl with us.
She looks pretty. She will make us some money.
You scumbag, I will kill 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!
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 captive,
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.
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 captive by Joseon's army.
I thought...
they would kill 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 captive.
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 killed.
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 war,
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.
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 kill 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.
Kill him.
Yes, sir.
You are a captive 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.
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!
(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.
