It seems to have another layer...
- She bought malt, too. - Don't you know you use malt to separate layers?
Here we go.
This... It's the o-one, right?
And this seal was also on the Portrait of a Beauty. The seal of Bi Ik Jo.
All of these are evidence that verify that Mt. Guemgang painting is the genuine article!
- We have a big problem! Professor Min is outside.- What?
He's on a mission to find out what we are doing.
Saimdang, Light's Diary
Episode 16
- Aren't you paying attention? You said three people came here, right?- Yes.
- Where is the fatso Hye Jeong? Hurry up and find her!- Okay. I'll look for her quickly.
Get a quiet room.
Yes, I got it.
♫ Hit it!
♫ Left, right, left, right
Wow, Ms. Geum Ja is having a blast right now.
♫ One, two, three, four!
Seo Ji Yoon.
Let's talk.
Uh? Is that ahjussi snatching Ms. Geum Ja away?
Make some noise! ♫ Make some noise
Aish! That scared me!
Ms. Oh Hye Jeong!
Ms. Oh Hye Jeong?
What's with him now?
Are you in there?
Are you there? I have a delivery.
Ms. Oh Hye Jeong?
Ah, seriously!
What the heck am I doing?
Drink it.
What are you trying to do?
Past 10 years as your underling, there isn't anything I haven't done.
I've learned all these during that time, while acting all cutesy when I was called to serve at a drinking gathering.
Drink up.
Why did you come here?
Can't I come to a club with a friend and a hoobae to have a drink?
I told you to drink and why aren't you?
Are you going to act up like this?
Emergency! Assistant Professor Moon is outside the door.
What is it?
Cheers!
♫ Okay
Emergency! Assistant Professor Moon is outside the door.
Hey, hey!
What?
You see... Go to the door...
Okay!
What is she doing?
Excuse me. Move over!
Move! Move! Excuse me!
What are you doing?
Oh, wow! She is a killer!
May I help you?
- Idiot! He is flipping!- Pardon?
What? I-I-Idiot?
Can't you see? It's a restricted area.
Staff only!
You look like a waiter at a bar.
I'm sorry.
What a loser!
Ajumma! Sang Hyeon oppa sent me.
- Put that up there.- Okay.
Open, open that up.
♫ Yoohoo
- ♫ Hit it!- Woo hoo!
Wow! Hallelujah!
- Hallelujah!- Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
- Hallelujah- Wow!
Let's get out of here quickly!
Hurry! Hurry up! Leave!
- Mission accomplished!- Yoobin's dad came to get me.
So we were able to escape safely with the painting. I'll see you tomorrow at the bank.
Asa!
Seo Ji Yoon, I don't have time to play around with you.
You'd better fess up when I say it nicely.
What do you mean fess up? What about?
Do I look like someone who has inkling of what's going on?
You are here!
It's been a while.
So, is desginating Mt. Geumgang Painting national treasure progressing well?
I've been reading news articles.
Han Sang Hyeong, as if opposing making it a national treasure isn't enough,
- you now drag in RADE now?- RADE?
You guys have a death wish, don't you?
Do you think you will be able to set your foot in Hangook University ever again?
As long as I'm the dean, you will never become professors!
Ah, Professor! How could people like us become professors?
It's been a while since we've seen you. Why don't you have some drink? Let me mix it well for you.
We don't even have any support.
Hey, you are going to be in big trouble!
- Professor will come out soon.- What big trouble!
Here, let's summarize it once again.
I heard you bought malt today.
Why would people coming to the club buy malt that's needed to separate layered papers?
If you add malt to vodka, I heard it tastes like sh*t.
- So I wanted to try it,- Sh*tty vodka,
because that's exactly how my life is right now.
What sh*tty nonsense are you spewing on?
I heard you brought a tube for carrying painting. Where is the tube?
What was in there?
There must be a painting inside the tube.
Seeing that you needed malt, I'm certain that it's an old painting.
Ha! Wow, our professor is better than FBI!
You are not a professor without a reason.
These guys!
Where's the fatso? Huh?
Wah!
Professor Min!
What's this?
Oh, Professor Min. (Using informal speech)
Professor Min?
- That's right! You! I'm talking about you! (Using informal speech)- Hey, you are going to be in big trouble.
You have nothing and all you do is order me around!
I'm sorry. He is drunk. Won't you shut it!
Are we errands boys or mafia underlings?
Why do you always make us do weird things?
Stop it already!
Won't you take him out quickly?
Donghae water and Mount Baekdoo... (Singing the Korean National Anthem)
Fiery Friday night is so beautiful, Professor. We will leave now.
- What's with the national anthem whenever you are drunk? - Hey, you guys! Won't you stop there?
Stop right there!
Hye Jeong sunbae must have arrived safely, right?
I finally feel like a heavy burden has been lifted.
This is the beginning. You've worked hard today.
Sunbae! Take a taxi. I'll get it for you.
- Subway station is right in front.- Then let's go together.
Oppa! What are you doing?
Everybody is waiting. Hurry and come in.
Go back in. She says they are waiting.
- Then I'll see you at the bank tomorrow.- Okay.
See you tomorrow!
Oppa, you are staying with me today, okay?
If you try to run away, you are dead.

Are you eating your meals?
Endure it just a little longer.
No matter what, I think there will be a way for us to live.
Don't be sick and don't die, either. Alright?
And also, I will not divorce.

♬ Please appear in my dream ♬
Your Majesty, the issue of Goryeo paper is not something we'd take lightly.
As Ming had executed a messenger who was involved in this matter,
us punishing a
paper factory isn't going to resolve the matter, I don't think.
So, what are you suggesting?
Aside from producing Goryeo paper to present to Ming,
I believe you'd have to show your clear will about this matter.
Most of all, you should investigate why the situation
has become like this and punish the person who's responsible severely.
The person who's in the center of all this chaos
is Min Chi Hyeong.
The crime of you personally profiting by bribing Ming's envoy
dishonored His Majesty and Joseon.
Do you still consider it a bribe when the other party didn't accept it?
This is according to the Ming's record after they interrogated prior envoy's visit.
He confessed that he'd received an enormous amount of bribe from you.
Is that all you got?
Don't you think I know you've controlled paper production for the past 20 years,
and the fact that your wife is running the paper shop in Jang Won Market?
It's only right if you hold him responsible and execute him.
So you want to execute Min Chi Hyeong...
Do you think the Majesty would execute Min Chi Hyeong as we asked?
Would he let him slide when this whole mess was created by him?
Do you think Min Chi Hyeong will just take it?
He's rather threatening us saying he won't go down alone.
That's why we need to make the move first.
With his temper, do you think he'll leave us alone if he's released?
I am positive he'll be more vicious and grab us by the neck to strangle us.
Think about 20 years ago! Who helped him to get power when he was just a low ranking town head from the countryside?
We've been indulging him. It's like a hunting dog became a tiger
and bit the owner, isn't it?
It's better if we get rid of him this time.
What's happening with Prince Eui Seong that he hasn't made any report yet?
I heard he went out of the capital to take care of the paper production business.
Tell the royal secretary to come in.
I'll make an order regarding how to punish Min Chi Hyeong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
So, did His Majesty finally issue an order
to pardon me?
Why just stand there?
Criminal Min Chi Hyeong, his rank had reached to the top
and received the Majesty's trust and love.
Yet you misused your position and power to monopolize the production and distribution of paper.
You broke the order in the market and gained enormous wealth personally.
Your criminal activities can't be taken lightly.
What are you saying?
Hence, according to the law, Min Chi Hyeong will be executed by beheading
to be an example to all court officials.
An execution by beheading? That can't be!
There is no way His Majesty would order that kind of punishment!
The execution date will be issued later.
Look here! Look here!
Something is wrong. There's no way. Look here!
Just what's happening?
- Tie the criminal and drag him in immediately! - Yes, Sir!
Execution by beheading!
How can this Min Chi Hyeong be beheaded!
There's no way.
No way.
No way!
Ahh.
Jang Si Oh (Min Chi Hyeong's butler)
You...
Ahh.
I am sorry, Madam.
I don't think there's any proper Goryeo paper among these papers.
His Majesty enters!
You are working hard late into the hours.
So how is it?
Among these papers, do you have a quality Goryeo paper that Ming wants?
I am sorry, but not yet...
What do you mean not yet? What are you saying?
Don't you know we only have 7 days left before the deadline?
Just where is Prince Eui Seong that keeps him out of my sight?
I heard he went out to find Goryeo paper.
Tell this to Prince Eui Seong.
Unless he brings Goryeo paper to Ming's envoy by the deadline,
not to mention Prince Eui Seong who's responsible, you, So Sae Yang,
and anyone who is slightly related to this matter
will all be treated according to the law.
Prince Eui Seong has to come back soon.
Yes, indeed.
Let's do it again.
This won't do. Hold on for a minute.
How... about riding together?
The deadline for Goryeo paper is just around the bend.
We can't waste any time because we've been absent too long.
My family is waiting for me as well.
Will it be alright?
Are you okay?
Hold tight.
Interpreter's Office (Government office that oversaw translation and interpretation from foreign languages)
Speaking Chinese
Aigoo, so hard. Hey, you, jerk!
Where are they? Hey! You!
But, dude, you should look ahead when walking.
Aigoo, seriously, what am I doing here as a court official?
Why don't they just look at them where they are but telling me to move them all...
- Hello (in Chinese).- Omo!
- A foreigner...- I am here to meet the professor of Chinese Studies (in Chinese).
What is he saying?
Do you belong to the Mongolian Department (in Mongolian)?
Oh, that is, really...
I am here to give these to the Chinese Studies professor (in Chinese).
Is this person a man or a woman?
Can't you speak Mandarin (in Chinese)?
Please give me a little discount (in Chinese).
Huh, you do speak Chinese. We already gave you a discount (in Chinese).
Since I am busy, please give these to him for me, okay (in Chinese)?
Oh, really? Oh!
What is this?
Korean is prohibited here, don't you know? (In Korean)
From Teaching Staff: Joseon language is prohibited. Fines - Half nyang
Oh!
Then, please take care of it for me. Thank you (in Chinese).
Th-Th-Thank you. Thank you (in Chinese).
I didn't see this.
From Teaching Staff: Joseon language is prohibited. Fines - Half nyang
But since when has this been posted here?
If I have to pay half a nyang for each word, then my salary...
Aigoo, wow, I almost didn't even get to see my salary.
What is this?
They said a post in the Interpreter's Office was god-given.
Hey, kids! My puppies, your daddy is here. Woo!
Ta-da! Do you know what this is, Hyeon Ryong?
- These are books!- Wow!
- Oh! Isn't this a Ming warrior romance?- That is right!
They say a post in the Interpreter's Office is bestowed by Heaven.
Have you, by any chance, drank?
How did you know? I only had one shot to accompany my meal.
Where did you get the money?
You didn't, by any chance, charge it, did you?
You can't frivolously waste away your first salary even before receiving it.
Mae Chang, something seems wrong with your daddy's eyes.
The sights are dim and hazy. What prank of gods is this?
What's wrong?
Mae Chang, your face looks like your mother's.
Am I so scary to you?
And what on earth is this state that the house is in, huh?
All the clothes are thrown down like this without any house ordering in sight.
Where did this girl, Hyang, go?
That is right. She must be at the workshop again to make paper.
This household, this, this...
But when is Mother coming home anyway?
Don't you think she's taking too many days?
But don't you think something is weird?
When she left, Mother cooked a whole potful of soup
and did all the piled-up laundry as well.
Like she will never return.
- Never?- Never?
Never?
I miss Mother!
Aigoo, when you're an older brother!
Oh, yes, Woo, don't worry. Mother will return, that's right.
What do you mean weird?
- What in the world happened to her?- Uh huh, nothing happened to her.
- Really, Mother...- Mother, what?
I'm afraid she's not returning because of you, Father.
My Lady...
Two paintings...
The paintings the Ming envoy gave me as presents are two pieces...
One is meant for me and the other one, for Hyung-nim Yeon San (Deposed King Yeon San).
Fully knowing how long ago Yeon San died,
like a cat playing with a mouse, they are taunting me!
The Ming Dynasty is!
Leave them be!
Move up the execution date of Min Chi Hyeong, Deputy Minister of General Affairs, to tomorrow.
If not for him, I would not have suffered this kind of humiliation.
Your Majesty, you must ease your royal heart.
Prepare the king's carriage. I will head to Seonreung.
Seonreung - Royal Tombs of King Seongjong and Queen Jeong Hyeon, King Joongjong's parents.
Memorial Day for Queen Jeong Hyeon, King Joongjong's biological mother
Lady Consortship Gwiin Nam (King Seongjong's concubine)
Your Highness Gwiin (Lady Precious).
Your Majesty, have you been well all this time?
Since you left the palace, you sent so little news of yourself that I was beginning to despair the possibility of seeing you this year.
How can that be?
Even though my body may be away from the palace, there was not a single day when my heart forgot the late king and queen.
I hear that Ming is making an unreasonable demand again.
I think I'll be able to breathe properly only after I send the Ming envoy away. Even a day sooner is not soon enough.
When I think about how he's coiled up in Dongpa Hall (residence of Chinese envoys in current day Panmunjom), I can barely breathe.
I hear that the Ming ambassador who had accepted bribes from Joseon officials all this time got beheaded.
Hence, as a commensurate measure from our side too,
I ordered the decapitation of Min Chi Hyeong, Deputy Minister of General Affairs, whose corruption came to light.
Execution Ground of the Royal Investigation Bureau
If he has committed crimes, of course he ought to pay for them.
However, Sire, do you perchance remember?
When you ascended the throne, there was something I said to you.
Of course I remember.
You told me the throne was the most perilous seat in the world perched on a lone rope.
And I also told you
if the powers of your ministers tilt to one side,
Your Highness, please excuse our discourtesy.
Please excuse us while are carrying out official duties.
Will you just stand by and watch Prince Eui Seong seizing power and growing strong again?
If the powers of your ministers to tilt one side,
the throne will also tilt.
Building the king's power is no different from building a castle wall.
All big boulders do not make a strong wall.
You can build a proper, strong fortress only when big boulders and small rocks come together in an ideal combination.
I mean the king's throne does not become strong because you fill your court only with loyal ministers.
The king's throne becomes secure when you make the loyal and perfidious ministers, upright and corrupt ones, compete against one another appropriately.
Whether it's a loyal or perfidious servant, why do you hasten to throw away a perfectly usable hand?
Hold it!
Carriage House near Doomul Head, Yangpyeong
Does it suit your taste?
Yes, enjoy the meal.
Yes, yes. Just a minute.
Let's take a short break.
Please get down.
Why aren't you eating?
It seems the horse finished eating.
And we've rested a bit, so how about if we get back on the road?
The time is urgent.
Here.
You have to eat to get strength, so you can get there sooner to make paper and to help the migrants.
Here.
Eat up.
It's mali flower tea from Ming. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
It's good for calming your anger because the scent is strong.
I won't forget your benevolence.
It's due to your own insightful eyes that are able to look in the distance.
So, it's not my benevolence.
Since you barely saved your life,
you must make a reason for you to stay alive.
The way for you to stay alive,
is becoming the person that His Majesty needs.
What His Majesty needs now is
Goryeo paper. (The best quality Korean traditional paper that's has been handed down since Goryeo dynasty)
Your tea is getting cold.
My Lord, My Lord!
My Lord.
What happened?
We ran into Prince Eui Seong at Woonpyeong Temple.
Prince Eui Seong?
Yes. The moment we were about to get the painting containing the secret of making Goryeo paper,
we were attacked by him and all of us...
The secret of making Goryeo paper...
What happened to Hwi Eum Dang and what about the butler?
Where is Prince Eui Seong right now?
He's probably approaching Hanyang by now.
Lady Shin, too.
Giddy-up!
So Sae Yang (Envoy deployed by Ming)
Min Chi Hyeong with his private soldiers...
Your Majesty. I am positive he's on his way to kill Prince Eui Seong.
I clearly told him to make Goryeo paper.
That's why I gave the political power to Prince Eui Seong.
So just where the heck is he and what is he doing?
Your Majesty, you must send royal guards. The situation is dire.
Dire? Send royal guards!
Do we have anything more serious now than Goryeo paper?
Your Majesty.
Wife.
I can't sleep because my head is all jumbled.
Right. Let's take a look at it again, and
sort things out again.
Husband, I am truly glad that you became a court official.
Even if I am not home...
Not home...?
Not home? Even if my wife is not home?
Why? Just why would you say things like this?
Wait. Take good care of the children.
Take care of the kids? Take care of the kids without the wife?
Like a widower takes care of the kids? Like that? Just what is she asking me to do? Wife...
What are you thinking about? Such a horrible thought. No way.
Never.
Look here!
Master! What brings you all the way here?
You be quiet. My wife. No words from my wife yet?
No, not yet.
Why not yet?
He seems to be My Lady's husband.
And you Hyang. Why are you neglecting household chores and spending all your time here?
My Lady told me to help out here because making the paper is more urgent.
Do you have to treat me like this when there are so many people around...
So? No news from My Lady yet?
When you don't know, how would we know?
Aigoo, nary a word to be heard about her, nary a word!
Don't worry. She will return safely without any mishap.
But, she said she was going to Gangneung over a matter that concerns the paper workshop but there has been no word from her for days now.
This means some dreadful thing befell her, some calamity!
And you! Don't be angry with me.
You, seriously! Aigoo, My Lady!
He seems like a basically nice person, but the way he behaves... Isn't it a bit... you know?
Now, now, let's not forget ourselves here.
Let's finish up what we've been doing.
My Lady needs to come back. Where is she?
Where are you two, a pair of former lovebirds, coming back from so hurriedly and affectionately?
How did you get released and are strutting around?
I am inexpressibly moved to run into you again like this.
I almost crossed over the sill to the nether world and barely made it back. Thanks to you.
When you were hunting a tiger, you should have made sure to slit its throat.
How can you just wound it?
A tiger? Coming from a mere jackal...
Please give him the painting of Avalokiteśvara. I think that is his motive.
It's not because of that.
You know it well.
Step back. I will chop off his head myself.
No!
My Lord.
Chase them.
Saimdang! Saimdang. Saimdang!
Saimdang!
Get up. Get up.
What to do about this?
Something must have happened.
So you are saying it's been 7 days since your wife left home?
I said she didn't leave home but she is on a trip due to her work.
In an adult case, it has to be at least 15 days before you can report her missing.
That's right.
- Heck with the law. - You thought she was missing,
but turned out to be a runaway. We get those cases sometimes.
I told you she's not and she is missing.
Aigoo my wife, she'd been living a rough life,
and now I got a job to make her life easier. But where are you?
Wife!
I am sorry but when you say you finally got a job now. How long have you been unemployed?
- About 21 years. - She ran away.
I said she didn't run away. My wife is a very virtuous person.
Then have you got into a debt recently?
Or a major change in your finances, anything like that happened?
I did lose the tiled-roof mansion in Soojinbang that my wife's family bought.
Indeed it's a runaway.
I said it's not!
Please, I am begging. She could be unconscious somewhere in the woods.
Filing for a missing report—
Just what's going on?
Uh? This is the guy who bought us a meal.
He's the translator who bought us a meal at the tavern.
I am not sure.
- I guess he is. - It was me.
- Oh, right! - What's with these guys? It was a good thing I bought them a meal.
Good thing.
Over there! Find the footprints!
Come this way.
Go that way!
What the heck are you doing?
As soon as you find them... kill them.
You must kill them!
Yes, Sir!

You bled too much.
We have to control your bleeding.
- Hold it in for a sec. - Ah!
Ah, your fever... your fever is too high.
Wait here for a minute.
Don't go.
- Ah, wife! - Madam! Where are you?
- Wife! Ahh!! - Ahew!
Aigoo, are you okay?
Are you sure this is the way? Doesn't seem like it.
It's my hunch from 30 years of experience as a police officer.
This is called windy woods.
This is the place normally visited by the couples who are having an affair.
I am telling you she's not having an affair, but she's on a business trip.
I am okay.
I dream sometimes.
You and I wandering in the fields
making colors and painting.
Dreams about 20 years ago.
It is clear like it happened yesterday.
With only those memories,
I can endure the rest of my life.
You must save your strength.
When I was riding with you,
I thought I was dreaming again.
That bold girl who jumped over the wall to see the Guemgangsan painting.
If only I could see your paintings again...
If I could see those paintings...
That's enough for me.
You will overcome this,
because
you are a strong person, My Lord.
Only when big boulders and small rocks come together in an ideal combination,
can you build a proper, strong fortress.
Loyal and disloyal servants, clean and corrupt officials
you need to have them compete with each other appropriately.
That's how you make your throne strong.
You are, right now, the person I cherish the most.
I don't want to lose you.
Your Majesty, you must send royal guards. The situation is dire.
Are you there?
Ahya!
Over there seems to be a cave.
- Let's go! - Yeah.
Wife!
- Where are you, wife? Ah, ha! - Where are you, Madam?
- Ahh! - Hold me, hold me. Ah!
Be careful, aigoo.
- Lady Shin, where are you? - Aigoo, Wife!
Wife!
- Wife!- Madam!
- Where are you, wife?- Madam Shin!
Wife!
- Wife! - Where are you? Whoa!
Who are you? Why are you doing this?
Who are these people?
What are you doing? Block them quickly.
Who the heck are you? Who are you?
Burn them with fire. Burn them with fire.
What are you doing?
Ahh!!
Halt!
Who is that now?
I heard the entrance of Hanyang is festering with bandits.
It was you, bastards!
Isn't that So Sae Yang?
I can't see and who are those people?
Are they the royal guards?
- They are leaving.- What's this?
Aigoo! I am back from the brink of death, the brink of death.
Aigoo, they are indeed the royal guards.
We are saved!
By chance, have you seen a woman and a good looking scholar here?
I don't know about the good looking man,
but I am looking for my wife.
Comb this place!
- Yes, Sir! - Where are you, wife?
Thank you.
Are you feeling any better?
Getting hurt like this,
isn't so bad.
When would I get you to have you doting over me like this?
You must not move.
Wife!
Where are you, Madam Shin?
- Where are you, wife?- Madam!
Wife!
- Where are you? - Seon's mother!
Where are you, wife?
Seon's mother!
Wife!
Ahh! Wife!
- Madam! - Wife!
Where are you?
Lady Shin!
He's my kids' father.
Seeing that he is with police officers,
Min Chi Hyeong seems to have gone.
You go first.
- No, now... - If we go together now, you'll be in difficult position.
- Even so... - Where are you?
Wife!
Go quickly.
Hurry.
Seon's mother!
Where are you, wife?

To me now, the person who makes the Goryeo paper is my loyal servant.
Please spare me.
The only way for you to stay alive is to make proper Goryeo paper before they do.
I think this will do. Odds are in our favor.
Lady Shin can never submit Goryeo paper.
I am saying you must use any way and means to keep Lady Shin from coming outside.
Aigoo, aigoo!
I am really grateful for all those times.
