The Archery Competition will commence shortly.
This is the last check for attendance.
After taking attendance,
the scholars who are not present,
along with the their teammates,
will not be able to take part in the competition.
If you catch the rogue,
finish him off immediately.
Secretly.
He must not land in the hands of His Highness.
Moon Jae Shin.
Is Moon Jae Shin of the Second Middle room not here?
Because of the absence of Moon Jae Shin,
the members of the Second Middle room, Lee Seon Joon and Kim Yoon Shik,
are all disqualified.
You're man-handling him a bit too much.
Even if he's called a crazy horse,
he's still a SungKyunKwan Scholar.
He's also still on SungKyunKwan grounds.
How daring.
His Highness will be visiting here.
So suspicious people are objected to supervision.
Then are you an army official?
If the affair of an army official in SungKyunKwan was found out,
your superiors would probably have to take off their official clothes.
Would that be alright with you?
Besides, I'm not the only one who witnessed this.
Oh, they're here.
Over here, Your Excellency.
Moon Jae Shin, you little!
So don't mention ignorant things like wiping out or merging factions,
because it is yourselves that proved it as complete nonsense.
Who said that it was nonsense?
Senior!
Hey Daemul
T/N: "Big Shot", or nickname for Yeon Hee after getting her "manhood" approved by Cho Seon.
I came to fill up the numbers.
If it weren't for you, Moon Jae Shin wouldn't have been found.
Then Lee Seon Joon would also...
Just thinking about it makes me terribly horrified,
as if the pores on my body were swept by a cold draft.
That is exactly how I feel right now, Your Excellency.
But how did you know that he would be there?
I'm Gu Yong Ha.
I'm surprised.
Never did I think that you would have the same thoughts as Lee Seon Joon.
They aren't the same.
The person who has the same thoughts as me,
is you, Ha In Soo.
I, too, don't believe in His Highness's policy of faction equality.
Because if it were me,
I would never shake hands and make up with the Norons
who killed my blood relatives.
Hey, you guys...
Hey Daemul,
are you ready?
Hey Noron,
just for today,
I'll go along with faction equality or whatever it is.
Second Middle room,
TangPyung team, we are ready.
T/N: "TangPyung" is the team name the trio calls themselves.
Archers, please get ready.
These youths,
make you go crazy just by looking at them.
Ahhh, I'm about to die!
I can't hold it in any longer when I'm looking at them.
Why, are you going to pee?
That's exactly that.
They are a quartet that makes you drool.
Jalgeum Quartet.
Jalgeum Quartet?
Senior, that bow...
Ah! This one...
It was bought from the Qing Dynasty.
This is the only one in our country, isn't it great?
But, where are the arrows?
Ah, that...
one of the fools left it out from the trading catalog.
Then pick another bow.
This bow matches these clothes,
color matching, don't you understand?
He was injured, and it wasn't just a small injury.
If he continues pulling on the bow,
it'll definitely be noticeable.
If that person really is the Rogue of Hongbyuk,
it wouldn't be too late to get rid of him.
The Rogue's shooting posture is uniquely different,
especially compared to studious scholars who shoot as a past time.
The way he draws the string is like pulling on a tiger's tail,
his left arm is as straight as the arrows.
Tiger-tail and solid shooting styles,
this person must be an archer who
has received professional training.
We have to catch him.
Most importantly, it has to be secretly.
We must not let the Rogue fall into His Highness's hands no matter what.
Everything is going smoothly,
so please do not worry.
Byungpan.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your son is the Jang Ui, right?
T/N: "Jang Ui" is the President or Head Scholar.
Yes.
With my son being the leader of the SungKyunKwan Scholars,
he bears the responsibility of the Jang Ui.
The impetuous Lee Seon Joon who wanted to test me at the exam hall,
is your son, right?
I apologize, Your Highness.
From the looks of it,
I am not with a group of ministers,
but rather with the fathers of the scholars.
Then, which side should I cheer for?
During the Preliminary Round,
each contestant will have three shots.
Contestants who shoot the leather bullseye will receive ten points.
The farther away from the center,
the lesser the points rewarded.
The competition will progress from the Preliminary Round to the Semifinals,
and then to the Final Round where the winning team and the champions will be selected.
The champions of the competition will receive
a bow and arrow bestowed by His Highness, as well as additional points.
Please do not touch this.
The ultimate champion of the Archery Competition,
just who will become the victor?
Here, for the team that has a highest rate of winning,
stick the 'high' on there just like this.
Is that clear?
I will bet on the Second Middle room.
Miss, did you say the Second Middle room?
Uh huh.
Second Middle room!
Contestant introductions will now begin!
Nowadays, SungKyunKwan is under my control,
shining newbie,
KIM YOON SHIK!
Winners are made, not born.
Shooting from the left hand, the legendary
LEE SEON JOON!
Is he a wild horse or a crazy horse?
that is the question.
MOON JAE SHIN!
Done.
No, no...
I still insist on the Second Middle room.
Miss, proverbs say that blood is thicker than water,
but you're not betting on the Jang Ui room?
There's another reason for the basis of my investment.
I'll still choose 'high' even if they don't win.
Let us see if the pretty Kim Yoon Shik is like his father.
You look as if you're the archer.
Red center, red center, red center!
Nine points!
Eight points!
Six points!
Five points!
Western dormitory, Lower Middle team,
Kim Woo Tak, sixteen points.
Seven points!
Eastern dormitory, Upper Third team,
Nam Myung Shik, twenty points.
Western dormitory, Jang Ui team,
Lim Byung Choon, twenty-four points.
Nine points!
Woo Tak is in the last place, the last place,
how could you still be in the mood to clap?
Seeing Daemul, I couldn't help myself...
At first, he couldn't even hold the bow right,
but now...
He's improved a lot.
Byung Choon has always been a great bowman!
I'm talking about Kim Yoon Shik.
What does Kim Yoon Shik count as?
No matter how much he has improved,
would he be able to defeat Byung Cho... AHH!
Eastern dormitory, Second Middle team,
Kim Yoon Shik, twenty-six points.
Did you see it?
Today... don't you have anything to say to me?
Ah, I almost forgot.
Stay focused.
Until the Final Round, you still have twelve arrows to shoot.
This is only the first round.
Do you think that you're the champion already?
I'm sorry.
You... aren't sick, right?
You've suddenly become so obedient.
Look here, your face is flushed.
Don't worry about me.
I will stay focused and work hard...
Work hard at it.
Ten points!
Woah, that, that...
If this carries on,
the champion title would be taken away by Lee Seon Joon's team.
You'll have to wait until the end to find out.
There's still Gang Moo from the Jang Ui team.
And Jang Ui's potential doesn't fall short to anyone.
Confucious said "In archery it is not going through the leather
which is the principal thing;
"In archery it is not going through the leather which is the principal thing; because people's strength is not equal. This was the old way."
because people's strength is not equal. This was the old way."
The goal of archery isn't to decide the winner by their ability to
shoot the center of the leather.
So that's why you're in last place?
Ten points!
Producing remarkable scores,
from the Freshman Second Middle room,
are Lee Seon Joon, Kim Yoon Shik, and Moon Jae Shin.
According to these scores,
passing the Preliminary Round isn't a problem.
Ten points!
But the traditionally powerful Jang Ui team
has claimed back first place with impressive scores.
But the traditionally powerful Jang Ui team
has claimed back first place with impressive scores.
This is fascinating as anything could happen now.
But the traditionally powerful Jang Ui team
has claimed back first place with impressive scores.
But the traditionally powerful Jang Ui team
has claimed back first place with impressive scores.
Shooting from the left hand and creating a legend,
is the left-handed shooter Lee Seon Joon.
Will he be able to shoot the red center?
He has finally picked up the arrow.
Red center, red center...
He has shot the red center!
Two points!
Four points!
Six points!
One point!
How could this be? The sudden fluctuation of numbers...
They have entered into the Final Round!
Jang Ui Team! Jang Ui Team! Jang Ui Team!
The teams entering into the Final Round are
the Second Middle team and Jang Ui team.
The champions for today's Archery Competition will
be one of these two teams.
The Final Round will commence after fifteen minutes of rest.
Dismissed.
Please rest for fifteen minutes.
Rest!
You can't.
My rest station is over there, really!
Master.
Yes, yes, yes.
Seeing you outside, you shine more than usual.
How can your skin be as flawless as white jade?
See, this is the reason why you can't become first-class courtesans.
The only things you can say all day are petty and cliche.
What man would open his heart to you?
Today, you are indeed Joseon's number one warrior.
Your formidable spirit and composure...
if you said that you were the general of an army,
I would believe you.
Did you see that? Did you see that?
It should be like that, like that.
Cho Seon sister is the best in the world,
so how could little characters like us even compare to her?
But the best in the world,
also has things that she cannot do.
Just for one day,
how about you conceal your feelings?
What do you...
mean by that?
He has received the nickname "Daemul" because of you,
and nearly went through the gates of Hell because of you.
Today, among the numerous scholars,
the only one who has earned your admiration,
is Kim Yoon Shik.
I'm saying this for his own good,
so I hope you'll hear me out.
The amount of anticipation I have for this Archery Competition
may not be known to others, but to you...
I believe, it is very clear.
Of course, Jang Ui.
Then, do you know this?
The person I trust the most in our team...
is you.
I won't let you down.
I will work to the best of my abilities, Jang Ui.
Please believe me.
Bring me the title of Champion.
Asking me to believe you...
is something you say after it has been done.
You did well, Daemul.
I never thought that you'd reach such a level.
Because of senior,
I was overly worried the whole night,
so the vicious energy got me through.
What?
Let go of me, senior!
This won't do.
As a scholar, if he is unable to be consistent,
how is he supposed to accomplish greater things later on?
Wait wait...
Time out. Time out.
Wait for what?
You stay right there!
Not bad. You actually made it to the Finals.
Is it my turn to keep my end of the bargain?
Cho Seon. Cho Seon. Cho Seon.
Excuse me for my discourtesy the last time we met.
What?
You feel regretful after it happens?
It's fine. It's all in the past.
Is the loyalty of a prostitute great,
or the power of Jang Ui stronger?
You said before that you wanted to test that out, right?
I'm here to answer you.
Daemul! Daemul! Daemul!
It's been a long time, Cho Seon.
The thing that Young Master left for me...
I'm here to return it.
On that night,
the affection that you left me,
I'm returning it back.
I've heard that because of me,
you had to endure many hardships.
Because I don't want my feelings for you to become your burden,
I came to return you this portion of my affection.
But my heart...
will always be like this, hanging onto you.
Young Master, you,
are the man chosen by me, Cho Seon.
No matter what, you must never bow down in submission.
I can firmly hold onto that belief, right?
Daemul! Daemul! Daemul!
This is the loyalty of a petty prostitute, my lord.
As the Jang Ui of SungKyunKwan,
you must embrace all scholars of SungKyunKwan equally.
I believe, you will extend that courtesy to me as well.
Do you wish for me to be a greater joke?
The Final Round.
The two teams entering into the Final Round
are all very strong in potential, right?
The Jang Ui team led by SungKyunKwan's Jang Ui,
and the opposing team made up of Noron Lee Seon Joon,
Soron Moon Jae Shin, and Namin Kim Yoon Shik.
Transcending the separation of factions,
the so-called TangPyung team.
Which team should I cheer for, Governor?
Of course it would be for Lee...
Asking such a difficult question,
I cannot answer it, Your Highness.
I, have decided.
Eh?
I will...
root for the winning team.
The Final Round will use the best-of-three system to determine the winner.
Next,
you will draw out a name in which the person you choose will be your competitor.
Wait... why is the Final Round suddenly using selection drawings?
Why?
Lee Seon Joon, Lim Byung Choon.
Moon Jae Shin, Gang Moo.
Lastly, Kim Yoon Shik, Ha In Soo.
Ten points!
Nine points!
Ten points!
Eight points!
It's him, my lord.
That I can do it...
That I am someone who can be trusted...
I want to prove that to myself.
TangPyung team, we are ready.
When he gets off from the shooting platform,
immediately take him, but do it secretly.
Nobody must know that we captured him.
Yes.
What happened to Geol Oh?
Did his skills get rusty?
Isn't he too lacking to be the rogue?
The Rogue has already received a serious injury,
so if an injury is the reason for this,
then he could be the real rogue, my lord.
Seven points!
Senior, do your best!
You useless bunch of idiots.
If he's the rogue then I'd be Hong Gildong.
Don't just rely on these drawings,
use your brain for once!
Use some creativity when doing your official duties!
Senior.
Because of you...
my plans have been foiled.
My skills were supposed to be top secret.
But because of you, they will be revealed to the world.
I guess I don't have a choice anymore.
The secret martial arts manual that was never opened, it'll have to be opened now.
Tension.
So don't worry about it.
Thank you for showing up today.
He really has a talent...
for driving a person crazy.
Start cheering!
Jang Ui!
The SunKyunKwan Jang Ui and the Rookie Nok Bin Hong Ah's showdown,
I believe that the match will probably end with a result that's too obvious.
But your Royal Highness, that Kim Yoon Shik is not a normal man.
Initially, he couldn't even hold a bow right, yet today he has made his way to the Finals.
This is exactly the kind of education that we at SungKyunKwan seek to pass on.
His character, it may be that he got it from his father?
His father?
Wait, isn't that...?
This is the last round of the Finals.
Shooter Ha In Soo and Shooter Kim Yoon Shik's three arrows,
will determine the winner of today's Archery Competition.
This is your last chance.
Eight points!
Ten points!
Eight points!
He could be the Rogue of HongByuk.
We must watch him carefully until the competition ends.
If there is anything suspicious, capture him immediately.
Yes.
Ten points!
There is only one arrow left.
For the last arrow, we will start with Jang Ui Team's Ha In Soo.
Five points!
What is this?
Did the Jang Ui let him off easy because it is the last round?
How can it be? Is Jang Ui that kind of person?
In that case, there is still room for victory.
As long as Kim Yoon Shik manages to hit the bullseye, he will win, right?
What will we do?
Becoming the Champion, will I be able to do it?
You would never lie to me.
No.
The shoulder you use to support the bow is still too weak.
The power you need to draw the string is not enough.
Your breathing is not even.
So, you don't have to force yourself to be the Champion.
But...
I am very satisfied with this hand.
Throughout the entire training process, you were always the Champion.
Even if you fail, even if you are defeated...
To me, Kim Yoon Shik,
you are already the Champion.
Daemul,
show everybody what you've got.
The abilities of a true Champion.
You can even become the Champion, is that what you're saying?
What's wrong?
I'm alright.
With that hand?
I can... do it.
Ten points!
Bullseye!
Daemul! Daemul! Daemul!
Champions! We're the Champions!
Your hand... is hurt so badly.
Where are you going?
Isn't it obvious?
His Royal Highness is here for this big day,
do you want to mess it up?
A person who can do such despicable things,
are you going to let him off like that?
Even if you don't do it, someone else will take care of him.
How did this happen!
Did you even do it right?
I did it.
His hand couldn't possibly be alright.
This cannot be.
Is that guy a monster?
Snap out of it!
The TangPyung team are the Champions of the Archery Competition?
You are better than I am.
Lee Seon Joon.
Moon Jae Shin.
Kim Yoon Shik.
I will now put my hopes and dreams on you.
To create harmony among the people, one that overcomes the factions.
I hope that you can teach me the secret formula.
Isn't it so, Jwasang?
In your youth,
if you don't have high aspirations for the future,
then how can you become a great man?
In your youth?
That's true, Jwasang.
They say that the grace of the King, the teacher, and the father is equal.
It seems that Jwasang, Minister and I will be sharing the same sons.
You are too kind, your Royal Highness.
Which father they will resemble in the future,
aren't you curious to find out?
Have you not caught the rogue yet?
The last shooter,
judging by his shooting stance, he is definitely not the rogue.
The Rogue of Hongbyuk,
where have you run off to?
Even if you stay in SungKyunKwan,
as a girl, you will never become a scholar of SungKyunKwan.
This is the cruel truth of how the world works.
No matter how hard you hope and work hard...
it is still impossible.
So just...
The word "impossible," is not going to stop me.
Because, as a girl, from the day I could read until now,
I have never heard the words "You can do it" before.
Bottoms up!
Pay attention!
This banquet was prepared as a celebration for the Champions of the Archery Competition,
so the amount we drink must be as much as our well wishes for the scholars in the Second Middle room.
Do you understand?
Well said!
Well said, bottoms up!
Then let me mix the wines!
Lee Seon Joon, you cannot back out on us today.
Why isn't Daemul and Geol Oh around?
There's no choice, you first then.
Careful!
Let's drink today, Noron.
Congratulations.
Aha! This friend must really like wine, to be hiding so much of it.
Come, drink.
Looks like you really kept your promise.
Even without going to SungKyunKwan, I can still see you, Young Master.
This time, it was you that came to look for me?
Will you accept this?
When you were preparing for the Archery Competition,
I, too, prepared a token of my affection.
Every single stitch was sewn for the sake of your victory.
Although it's just a poorly done piece of work,
but on the account that this is a piece of my effort,
please accept it.
Accept it! Accept it!
This gift, is too precious for me.
Don't tell me this is?
It's an exquisite piece of work.
Isn't this something you couldn't even get if you waited for a few years,
the famous embroiderer, master Kim Ok Boon's Classic Limited Edition Spring Collection!
A perfect replica.
I... I really worked hard on this, Young Master.
Ah... But that Daemul?
Why isn't he here yet?
I really don't know where to begin explaining myself...
These words, I really wanted to say them to you.
Thank you, for today.
It was all thanks to you,
I will not forget this.
Everything that happened today was all thanks to you, Mister Wang.
Thank you.
Garang! Garang!
Daemul, what took you so long?
Why are you so late! Sit down quickly!
Daemul, have a drink!
Everyone have another cup!
Come, finish it in one go!
Come, bottoms up!
Bottoms up!
I'm all done.
It looks nice.
Why did you come out here?
Your hand... is it better now?
What does that have to do with you?
Garang! Garang, where are you? Garang!
Aren't they calling you?
Hurry back in.
Still pretending to care for me.
Garang, Garang.
Aren't you happy.
Hey!
Tough fellow.
No one can beat the tenacity of
a poor folk like you.
I don't know how you managed to tolerate it...
The glass powder would have caused your skin to tear right open.
Did you really want to become famous that badly?
So it was you, senior?
That's right.
I did it.
What are you going to do about it?
Cowardly jerk.
Did you just hit me?
Blood.
You punk, do you want to die?
You did not lose to me.
What?
But you lost to your cowardly self.
You punk, you really know how to make things worse!
Ah! My tailbone.
A double nosebleed!
Don't fight anymore!
They'll be taking attendance in half an hour!
Do you want to spend the night outside?
My nose, my nose is bleeding, that jerk!
It's wrong! I feel so wronged!
It's wrong! I'm wronged!
I had a few drinks,
so I let my guard down and he hit me.
My nose is bleeding.
Don't live your life in such a pathetic way.
Be a man.
Can't you live in a more proper manner?
I'm leaving first.
Will this be enough?
Wow, what have you been doing to end up in such a sad state.
Come, come, remove your top first.
Won't it be better to have me pour water on you?
There's no need, senior.
Ah, we're all men, there's nothing to hide.
It's alright,
I'll help you wash up.
No, you can't! Senior.
Why?
Because...
Say it.
Without hesitation.
A scar!
On my body, there is a huge scar.
A scar?
It's okay, between us, why does that matter?
To me, to me it matters!
I don't want to let anyone see my scar.
Is that so?
Then there's no choice.
Then, considering your situation,
For the sake of not letting anyone see that scary scar of yours,
let me tell you about a hidden location.
A hidden location?
Yes.
It is rumored that a girl who was ditched by a SungKyunKwan scholar had killed herself there.
It's supposed to be haunted by a virgin ghost,
A place that no one dares to enter, a mysterious place.
This is not the heart of a man who wants to see a girl's naked body,
but simply the heart of a student, who seeks to find the truth.
That's right!
Senior.
You can't!
I'll tell the supervisors and librarians.
And confirm this in front of all the scholars in SungKyunKwan, how about that?
The show is about to begin.
Why aren't you getting out!
You're a girl, right?
Kim Yoon Shik.
And what is that strange thing of yours!
I must have scared you.
What exactly is that person.
Because I'm the Daemul.
You're already a scholar at SungKyunKwan, yet you haven't changed a bit.
Senior!
Senior.
Get out!
The man is fair... fair...
Whose heart do you wish to change?
Shut up!
If you can do it, why can't I?
This is not for the betterment of Kim Yoon Shik.
