(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
We are looking for a woman named Turukson on Ganghwa Island.
Mom.
Put those three on a boat and get them out of this island.
Are you really Master Yi Eon?
Are you not a hallucination?
- Jo Yi! - By the way, how do you know Jo Yi?
- We grew up together. - We grew up together.
Park Tae Seo had something to do with the Crown Prince's death?
I am sure of it.
Please dismiss Chief State Councillor Park Seung.
- Please dismiss him. - Please dismiss him.
Who says we can be arrested?
- Who would dare demand that? - You...
Arrest him!
(Episode 11, Chijongeui)
(A physician who only specializes in treating boils)
(Ra Gwang Soon, Kim Jo Yi, Hwang Bi Ryeong)
All right. I calculated how much we would need to support ourselves.
After rent, even if we are not extravagant with our money...
and spend all of our money on food,
we would need 58 nyang and 36 jeon to support ourselves.
That means the three of us need to make...
- about 60 nyang a month. - Yes.
I can make half a nyang when I read people's fortune.
Even if I only read one person's fortune a day...
- That is 15 nyang a month. - I can make 15 nyang.
Right.
- But I would need customers first. - I am sure there will be.
I need to take care of something.
As long as I get that done, I will get a job at a trading group.
Since I can read and do math,
I am sure I can find a job soon.
- Then I will work as a seamstress. - Sure.
As it so happens, one of the women...
whom Seung Yul helped from getting conned...
is a peddler who sells women's items.
I will ask if noble ladies need my skills.
Yes. That sounds great.
Should I put up a poster in the marketplace...
how I am good at my fortune reading?
Yes. That is a great idea!
And can you add that you know a talented seamstress too?
- Yes. - I will make the posters for you.
- Then we will put them up. - Then we will put them up.
Sure.
(Promoting dried seafood)
Seamstress Jo Yi from Ojang-dong specializes in alterations...
and uses the minimum amount of fabric to bring out the best result.
Get your clothes tailored by her.
And the clothes will accentuate your figure to the fullest.
She will make the best outfit of your lifetime.
- I love it. - Me too.
Are you interested in your husband's past lovers?
A gifted fortune-teller, Bi Ryeong,
can figure out his past just by holding his hand.
She can tell you everything you need to know...
about your fortune and misfortune.
- Find us at the thatched house... - Find us at the thatched house...
- with trumpet creepers... - with trumpet creepers...
- in Ojang-dong, - in Ojang-dong,
- Myeongcheol District. - Myeongcheol District.
- Let us go. - Please drop by our house.
This must be new.
You can get your clothes made there and your fortune read too.
- Do you want to go? - I want to see my fortune...
with Young Master Cha.
Actually, I was in need of new clothes.
This is great. We should go.
Have you heard...
about Seamstress Jo Yi from Ojang-dong?
I have.
Apparently, she is excellent at bringing out the colors.
She can make your body look gorgeous with a minor alteration.
I heard she came from Qing.
No one in Joseon can be as skilled as her.
She must be different as she is from Qing.
She can make my body look amazing with a minor alteration.
A woman who was rejected 100 times...
on blind dates got engaged...
after wearing an outfit from this seamstress.
Seamstress Jo Yi's clothes can make you look so much slimmer.
She has a way with picking out colors.
She knows the perfect color for your skin tone.
- This color looks good on you. - It looks good.
I heard that with your help, women can look much more attractive.
The Minister of Personnel's daughter went on a blind date...
in an outfit you created...
and was engaged afterward.
Yes. I was happy to hear that the date had gone well.
People say the third-eldest daughter is every man's dream.
But my daughter, Soo Ryeon, has gone on 100 dates so far.
If you can help my daughter get married,
I will double your fee.
Please give my daughter a complete makeover. Please?
What do you think? You think you can help us?
Go ahead.
Okay.
Her clothes are way too loose compared to her figure.
So her posture looks sloppy.
Since the sleeves are covering the back of her hands,
no one can see her beautiful hands.
And as for the color of her jeogori, given her skin tone,
instead of wearing a blue jeogori which is a cool color,
she should wear...
a jeogori in a warm color like the madder colors.
To make her face look oval, the collars should go down deep.
Instead of making the skirt look voluminous,
it should be trimmed down straight.
I think these alterations will make her figure stand out.
She is ready.
Gosh. Who is this?
Are you a fairy?
Behold. A fairy is here.
Thank you so much for your help.
You saved our family.
You are too kind.
Goodness.
Did you hear...
about that seamstress?
It turned out she was not from Qing.
She has crossed the Milky Way.
Are you telling me she is the Weaver Girl?
I knew it. A human could not have been that good.
- She was not from our world. - Right.
She is so good.
While you wait, do you want me to read your palm?
Your husband has a mistress!
A mistress?
- She has long hair. - Okay.
- She had red lips. - Okay.
She has two eyes!
Two eyes?
- Read mine too. - Her eyes...
- One at a time. - Right here.
- Who is that wench? - Let me see.
Your life line is long.
- You will live a long life. - Mine too.
Bi Ryeong. Do not forget to collect half a nyang per reading.
Your child will have good fortune in your later years.
I made this recently.
She did every stitch herself.
- She did everything from scratch. - Stop complimenting me. Gosh.
You will meet your man soon.
I will put two of them aside for you.
- Thank you for this. - Thank you.
- Yes. - You can go now.
- Does it feel good? - Yes. It feels great.
How much money did we save up?
You made 20 nyang just from your fortune reading.
- We can go to Unjongga tomorrow. - Right.
- We should get bindaetteok there. - Sounds good!
Bindaetteok sounds great!
- That is beautiful. - Someone already bought that.
I see.
That one was sold too.
Everything was sold then.
- How much is this one? - That is 30 nyang.
How much is this? We are going to be rich!
- I want bindaetteok and sirutteok. - Yes.
I heard they never run out of soybean powder...
for injeolmi.
He cannot let go of the vulgar ways even when he has become the King.
I guess he cannot.
His Majesty checks how neat and clean...
women's toenails are.
So he makes the court ladies take off their socks.
How odd. He likes toenails?
Anyway,
I heard the Minister of War sent...
a marriage proposal to Young Master Do Soo.
Young Master Do Soo?
You mean the only son of Chief State Councillor, Park Seung?
Yes.
He was looking to welcome a new daughter-in-law too.
I heard he had two sons.
He does have an illegitimate son.
His name is Tae Seo.
Lord Park must have gone after a servant.
They were born on the same day. A boy was born in a master chamber.
Another, in a room next to a door.
That is how two babies were born that day.
I see. That explains why his wife...
passed away too early. Her rage must have caused it.
And I heard the servant also left the house,
abandoning her four-year-old son.
Goodness. Unbelievable.
Oh, my.
If you are done, I believe it is my turn.
Oh, yes, it is.
My lord. Jo Yi asked to see you by the well tonight.
Just you, on your own.
Why is that?
My lord. By a well in the middle of the night.
It is where couples plan the future.
"No, my lord."
"Oh, no."
- Hello. - You made it.
Yes.
Why did you ask to see me here of all places?
I met a few noble women to get their measurements.
I overheard them speak of Lord Park Seung.
- My lord. - Yes?
There is more.
- Is that so? - Yes, that is so.
Well done. If you hear more news, do keep me informed.
I will do that.
I am busy and must rush.
But... We just...
She must be very busy.
Jo Yi asked...
to see you among the silver grass. Just you, on your own.
Silver grass...
The silver grass field...
is where ghosts appear to haunt you.
Why did she have to meet me in a place like this?
My lord.
- My lord. - Yes.
Today, I heard about Park Do Soo.
Okay.
Is that so?
Yes, that is so. Goodbye, then.
What? We just...
Gosh.
She can do that now too?
Today, she asked you to come to the barn by the mill.
The barn is where...
My gosh.
- My lord. - Gosh.
- Tonight, I must really... - My lord.
I heard about Park Tae Seo.
Park Tae Seo?
Is that so?
Yes, that is so.
And also...
Oh, my goodness. Gosh, no.
However busy you may be,
you must dress impeccably.
Well... Yes.
But then, even if you were to wear a straw mat,
you would look good.
I have orders to keep up with. Goodbye.
What? But... Wait.
I am so busy.
She is very busy yet again.
Park Tae Seo is nowhere to be seen.
This is aconite.
People think it is medicinal.
It can be poisonous too.
The one who secretly harvested aconite in large quantities...
is Park Tae Seo, the illegitimate son of Park Seung.
Are you saying that Park Seung and Park Tae Seo had...
something to do with the Crown Prince's death?
You cannot make such an accusation.
Chief State Councilor Park Seung was in charge of putting together...
a temporary pharmacy to treat the Crown Prince.
A pharmacy was set up.
And there was a new physician in charge of his boils.
He has suddenly prescribed much more aconite,
and they added more aconite in his tonics.
I do not believe this was just a coincidence.
I am sure of it.
The physician...
I met that day...
must have been a fake.
I am certain...
he was not the real physician for the Crown Prince's boils.
I promise to come back...
with evidence to prove my claim about the physician...
before you have to interrogate him.
Trust me, and give me some time.
(Gwanghwamun)
Did you look into it?
I am sorry to report that there are...
no records whatsoever...
about the fake physician you saw that day.
But I did manage to find out about the real physician...
who disappeared.
Born in the year of the horse in Gyeongsang Province,
he was skilled in his practice,
and the Crown Prince trusted him a great deal.
Before the Crown Prince died,
he was suddenly dismissed and vanished from the Palace.
I believe he was a compulsive note-taker.
Then he must have left notes on the Crown Prince.
He must have.
According to those who last saw this physician,
he was filled with delusions and acted strangely.
Then he left to do a cleansing ritual...
at a Jinin Temple on Mount Samgak.
(Jinin Temple)
Then is that boil physician still alive?
It would seem so.
Then we must find him.
Before the interrogation begins,
we must find that physician.
That is key.
Giddy-up.
I must find him before he dies.
Giddyap.
Your Majesty.
Goodness. I cannot even play the gayageum in peace.
I apologize, Your Majesty.
However, Lord Park Seung, who is in jail,
keeps saying strange things.
Gosh. So...
Your Majesty.
What do you mean, the real boil physician is alive?
You should know...
what I mean better than anyone.
How dare you...
try to toy with me?
All I did...
was share with you...
what I know.
I am simply concerned that a false rumor...
that the crown prince was murdered may spread.
And by his father the king.
I am sure you will need me.
That the king, who envied his son who had just returned...
after suffering hardships far away in another country,
poisoned that son.
If you wish to eliminate that false rumor.
If you release me,
I will be your guard once again...
as I did was then.
Gosh.
Darn it.
It will not work.
Darn it.
Gosh. Seriously.
Darn it. They made it so strong.
They spent all the tax money building this.
Although I stole so much of the taxes,
it did not impact them at all. Gosh.
Hey. Why are you so quiet?
Are you meditating?
That fool.
How can you sleep right now?
Tae Seo will be coming down from the mountain.
What if he gets captured as well?
Go ahead with Mal Jong.
Once you arrive on Ganghwa Island, take Han Gi and flee.
Gokdu may be in danger as Mal Jong says.
Please.
What do you mean? You should go with us.
Go ahead. I need to see someone first.
Who?
The king.
How can you sleep right now? You jerk!
Oh my gosh.
Why did you open your eyes so suddenly?
I nearly had a heart attack.
How can I see the king face to face?
- What? - This was it.
What Tae Seo meant.
What are you babbling about?
What did Tae Seo say, that you are saying that nonsense?
No way.
Are you saying he will voluntarily get captured?
That lunatic.
He planned to see the king while he is being tortured?
That loon.
I love the sound of money.
Jo Yi. Gwang Soon and I are going to the night market.
- Sure. - We will be right back.
Gosh. Bi Ryeong must be excited.
Goodness. Who made these pretty things?
I have lots of money and lots of orders.
As for these...
I will put them over here.
As for this...
I will hold onto it for emergencies...
What?
Bo Ri, it would have been so nice if you were here too.
Jo Yi.
Hi.
- What brings you by? - Well...
Comb my hair for me.
Sit down.
You got a new comb. You always used a broken one.
A lady gave it to me earlier.
I almost forgot. She was looking for you.
- Me? - Yes.
She asked for directions to your house. Did you not see her?
She did?
No one came over.
That is odd.
She said she was from Yeowul Valley, your hometown.
- Yeowul Valley? - Yes.
She said she lived in your neighborhood.
A neighbor?
- She said she was just a neighbor? - Yes.
She said she was just a neighbor.
A neighbor?
Who could she be?
That hurts.
Sorry.
You should not move.
It will hurt more if you do.
You seem like my mom, combing my hair like this.
Although I did not have a mom,
so I am not sure if this is what having a mom feels like.
You can keep that comb.
Why are you giving it to me? She gave it to you.
You have to comb my hair anyway.
You keep it.
So that I can order you around.
Sure. Order me around all you want.
I will comb your hair every day.
(Gunpowder Transactions)
My lord.
Get back safely.
What is that?
It appears to be a log of gunpowder transactions.
Gunpowder?
(Gunpowder Transactions)
(Kang Han Gi, August 10)
They are sickening.
They crossed the sea to sell even on Ganghwa Island.
Give this to Yuk Chil later.
I shall submit it as evidence with my report.
(Gunpowder Transactions)
- Are you home? - Yes.
I brought the contract for the house.
Goodness.
Melons must be out of season now. They are hard to find.
I brought some anyway though.
My gosh, I listen so well to Jo Yi.
Here is the contract.
Sure. Thanks.
Read through it.
No. I am sure you did a good job.
What is it?
- Are you tired? - What?
Yes.
You are a lawyer, so you must know a lot about the law.
Yes. I know more than you.
I have a question.
all the evidence must be present...
to punish them. Right?
Right.
Sometimes, you can get them to confess.
But punishment will be easier and unavoidable with evidence.
And what happens to the people whose names are on the document...
that proves their crime?
What?
So this person did not commit any crimes. Never.
But what if that person's name...
ends up in that document that proves someone else's crime?
Would that person still get punished?
That would mean this person was involved.
I am not sure about getting punished.
But this person will be arrested, tortured, and interrogated at least.
Why are you asking me these questions?
You may pass. Stand over there.
All right. You can pass.
(Park Tae Seo, Kang Han Gi)
You can pass.
Okay. You can pass.
Where are you coming from?
I am coming from Ganghwa Island.
Ganghwa Island?
Write down your name and address on that log.
Why?
A serious crime was committed.
You are a woman, so you are probably not one of them.
But anyone from Chungcheong, Gyeongsang Provinces,
and Ganghwa Island must write down their names.
All right. Go ahead.
Okay.
Next.
Here. Stand over here.
You can pass.
You can pass. Stand.
I do not know all of my letters.
So I do not know how to write my address.
- You can go. - Okay.
Stand over here.
Stand in the back.
Write down your name and address.
(Kang Han Gi)
(Gunpowder Transactions)
What? Why do you have this?
I have no idea.
What do I do, Seung Yul?
What if my mother ends up in danger?
The thought of handing this over...
to Department of Justice scares me.
So you are in this predicament because you got mixed up...
with a secret inspector?
Of all people, a secret inspector?
I should have given him the book...
Gosh. I broke my promise.
I know that I should not hold it from him.
Right. She is your mother. I can understand.
But if you do not give him the book, you will be an accomplice.
You are hiding the evidence.
And I will put him in a tight spot too.
The secret inspector already read the ledger.
Then he could have gotten a confession...
out of the criminals without the ledger by torturing them.
Then it is possible for my mother to get arrested soon. Right?
But like you said,
if she did not do anything wrong, she would be released.
You told me that the secret inspector is just.
If he sees that she is innocent after his investigation,
he will help her. Will he not?
But what if my mother really did something wrong?
We should go.
Come with me. Please.
I cannot do it. I cannot go.
This is why law can be cruel. And it does not make sense at times.
The law states that being ethical and fulfilling duties is important.
But we are forced to give up on our filial piety at times.
Then you should sleep on it tonight.
Call me when you make up your mind. Okay?
And have this. Please?
You must eat to get some energy.
I am leaving.
I am sorry.
There were a lot of checkpoints in the Capital.
So it took some time for me to return.
Gosh. That is understandable.
Did you find her?
She somehow found a house...
with her friend's help.
- A friend? - She had a guy friend.
I looked into him.
He is a lawyer in Hanyang.
His name is Choi Seung Yul. Do you know him?
Yes, Seung Yul. He was Jo Yi's childhood friend.
He is trustworthy.
Is that so?
Thank you. Getting this information must not have been easy.
I am relying on you a lot as I am nothing...
but an awful mother.
Awful? Do not be so harsh.
You are human too. You need to live your life as well.
You should get going.
Try not to leave a heartache...
that might last for a long time.
Where is it? Tell me where it is.
Seeing how you are still alive,
it must mean that the promise has not been broken.
I do not know.
You were rewarded...
for your promise to take everything you saw and heard to your grave.
Where is your reward?
I really do not know.
Where did you hide it?
[VIU Ver] tvN E11 'Secret Royal Inspector & Joy' "Chijongeui" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
No. No!
No.
No! Please, you cannot take it. No.
(Pharmacy Journal)
No... No!
No!
You are to remain silent about everything you saw and heard...
since the establishment of the temporary pharmacy...
and to cooperate with making herbal tonics for the Crown Prince.
In exchange, the safety of your daughter,
Ra Gwang Soon, will be guaranteed.
(Park Seung)
Easy.
(Turukson)
Is anyone home?
Do excuse me.
Who is it?
May I...
give you a hug?
(Jinin Temple)
How come you...
(Pharmacy Journal)
I have a boil on my back.
What did you use for the medicine?
I used aconite.
I knew it.
You were the culprit.
You killed the Crown Prince!
- I only... - Shut your mouth!
For the past year since the Crown Prince's death,
the misery I suffered,
you will never even imagine.
Stand up.
I might feel much better to kill you where you stand,
but if I did that,
the Crown Prince would feel too wronged.
And also,
when I am given the chance to harm someone,
choosing not to abuse that power...
is how...
I exercise...
my conscience.
There he is. My lord!
Take him.
When I returned to Joseon,
you were already married.
To a rich middle-class man, I heard.
I wanted to visit when I heard you had returned,
but I could not.
Even if you had visited, we would not have met.
Because...
I got thrown out immediately.
I am sorry.
Why should you be sorry?
We were born in the wrong era.
Even so,
I thought you would come to see me at least once.
Though I was unable to.
Still, I waited.
For you.
How foolish of you.
You expected that from a mother who fled to save her own skin?
I understand. You must have had your reasons.
That does not matter.
Why did you leave Gaehwa Valley?
Actually, not very long ago, I got divorced.
Good.
That is a good thing?
I bet you did not marry the man willingly.
Then is it okay for me to live without a husband?
It is. Do whatever you wish.
The purpose of life is to learn to stand on your own.
You must realize that now.
Now we know for sure that the other is alive.
The past nine years must have been hard on you,
but I had to put my survival first.
I fought hard to return to you alive.
I hope you will understand that.
How could I now?
I am grateful that you are back.
I wish that from now on, you go on and forget about me.
I can no longer live as your mother.
Actually, now, I no longer want to live for anyone else.
I want to be alone and live for myself.
Mother.
You are an adult now and I do not have to worry about you.
That is very true.
I can help you and earn my living...
I am saying I will not stay.
What do you mean?
I hope you understand that this is the extent I will go as a mother.
But why?
Are you sick or are there other circumstances?
I can understand. Just tell me.
I mean I plan to carve my name Deok Bong,
my past, and everything out of my life.
Why?
To live as Turukson?
The Department of Justice is searching for this.
(Gunpowder Transactions)
What is that?
This butterfly pattern here.
That is your symbol.
This is a log of gunpowder purchased by those people...
captured by the Department of Justice.
Why is your symbol on this?
What is your relationship with them?
Why are you doing those hideous things on Ganghwa Island?
What is going on with you?
I am surviving.
Do you understand?
I am trying to survive.
Thus, you should get your act together...
and focus on your well being.
If the Department of Justice is searching for that ledger,
you should bring it to them right away.
What if they interrogate you as well?
Why? Is my name in that ledger?
What weight does a butterfly pattern have as evidence?
Why are you holding onto that important piece of evidence?
Do you want to be tortured by the Department of Justice?
You have not answered my question.
I asked if you committed crimes with those criminals.
Your name may not be there,
but I know that this is you.
I know.
If that bothers you,
you can commit a crime for me...
or pursue justice for yourself.
All you need to do is decide.
That may be a good starting point for your being independent.
Excuse me. Is this Gaehwa Valley?
- That is right. - By any chance,
do you know Kim Jo Yi? She married a young man here.
Then you should tell me the husband's name.
How would I know an outsider's name?
I know her.
I know Jo Yi very well.
How do you know her?
You know her?
I am Jo Yi's...
I came on an errand from Yeowul Valley.
From her hometown?
Oh my gosh. She will be so happy.
Hold on. What do I do?
I am on my way to open my tavern.
That does not matter.
- I will go and get her... - It is fine.
I can go on my own if you tell me where to go.
Gosh. Then...
Keep walking that way.
When you hit a stream, make a right. Go right...
about ten steps. If you take about ten steps,
you'll see a big tree.
It is the third house...
The third house. The third.
Thank you.
Ask Jo Yi to braid your hair for you next time.
She is quite good at it.
Get there safely.
But...
The third house.
What did you say?
You want me to eat cold food?
I heard that my mother returned home.
I would like to go and see her for a bit.
What was that?
Like being dragged away to Qing is something to be proud of.
She should crawl under a rock and be invisible.
Why is she shouting it out loud for all to hear?
"Everyone! I was dragged to Qing and have returned!"
Like that?
My mother is not a criminal.
We failed to protect our family. So we should be ashamed,
not the person who was taken.
She is just as shameless as her mom.
Anyway, I do not feel like eating right now!
So cook for me again later.
The food is ready. Get it yourself when you are hungry!
What? Get it myself?
My gosh!
Chu Han!
She is starving her mother-in-law!
Chu Han!
She was terrible.
How could she say that?
I have put up with all sorts of abuse from her,
but I will not put up with her insulting Mother.
It was not like she wanted to go to Qing.
It was the country's fault for losing the war, not the women's.
Why do they blame everything on women?
Our lord finally captured him.
It is him. You know.
You wretched jerk.
We held a funeral for our lord because of you.
- You evil jerk. - Do not bother. He is dead now.
He is our lord. Yes, that is right.
The deputy compiler of Hongmungwan.
Lord Ra Yi Eon! That is right!
See him? He is our lord!
(Gunpowder Transactions)
Listen up everyone! Our lord, Lord Ra Yi Eon,
captured a rebel leader!
Our lord has captured a rebel!
That is him.
Goodness. He was a bandit and committed murder.
I have never seen such a villain in my entire life.
I mean, there was a royal decree to capture him.
Jerks like that should be executed.
Of course. He should be hanged.
You despicable jerk.
- Gosh. - Refrain yourself.
That rebel deserves it.
He has done such evil deeds. He absolutely deserves it.
(Gunpowder Transactions)
The ledger for the gunpowder transactions was here.
(Gunpowder Transactions)
(No animals were harmed during the filming.)
(Secret Royal Inspector & Joy)
I made a wrong decision.
Gokdu is getting ransacked!
The ledger with our names cannot be found.
Do you think this was possible without permission from the King?
My lord. We are on our way. Please be patient.
I am sure I will find something in the Pharmacy Journal.
I did not run away or hide.
I am standing right in front of you.
Regardless of the truth, I want my answer.
Tie the criminal to the rack and interrogate him!
