Saimdang, Light's Dairy
Unless there is evidence that the Mount Geumgang painting that he is promoting is a fake, there is no response to this fight.
I was wrong.
There might be a clue on the authenticity of the Mount Geumgang painting here.
My name is Gyeom. Yi Gyeom. What's your name?
It's Saimdang.
Two protagonists in that book are Saimdang and Yi Gyeom.
- This portrait of beauty is... - Saimdang?
You promise?
After you get married to me, we will certainly go to Mount Geumgang together.
This is Bi Ik Jo. Engrave the other Bi Ik Jo yourself on our wedding day.
That means that on the genuine Mount Geumgang painting, there are Yi Gyeom's poem, as well as the seal of Bi Ik Jo!
If this is Yi Gyeom's painting, there must be Bi Ik Jo seal.
Oh, Bi Ik Jo seal.
Isn't this the painting that I had bestowed upon him? An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang painting?
Gyeom, this punk, is blinded by love and giving everything away.
At a place where Jo Gwang Jo and Shinjin party officials were planning to commit treason,
he did not waver and took my side. I shall bestow poetry upon him.
How sad. My pitiful subjects.
Does it refer to the pitiful subjects in the year Gimyo?
Please deliver this letter to young master, Gyeom.
While I was running errands for her, I heard you recite a poem, so unknowingly I...
Did she send a reply to the marriage proposal letter?
Yi Gyeom
- What do you mean by Gi Myo Chook Gaek? - That is a picture I drew.
In the year of Gi Myo, how dare you bring up about the treason?
Saimdang, open your eyes!
If there is anyone alive, you must kill him.
I heard it's because of a poem.
Kill everyone who received the poem and bring it back.
How did the poem that His Majesty gave you in secret get leaked out so recklessly?
If you go forward with this marriage, not only your daughter, but also Prince Eui Seong will be in danger.
I will marry another man.
Saimdang!
Please lower yourself and choose life.
Saimdang, Light's Diary
Shin Myeong Hwa's tomb
Episode 5
Father...
I am moving to Hanyang, the capital city.
When I leave now, I don't know when I'll be back.
I don't even know if I can come back.
Please take care of Mother, who is left alone,
so that she will be safe and healthy.
Please take good care of her from there.
Grandson, Hyeon Ryong, who will be in charge of memorial rites,(Boonjaegi: Official paperwork regarding distribution of inheritance)
will receive a tile-roofed house in Soojinbang, southern capital.
Grandson, Woon Ong, who will take care of the ancestral burial ground,
will receive this house and three slaves that belonged to my side of the family in Gangreung.
Mother, can you give this porcelain to me?
I would like to receive your wooden jewelry box, Mother.
Didn't you promise to give the wooden jewelry box to me a long time ago?
Mother, remember it, right?
Mother, when did you make that kind of promise?
You must give the porcelain to me, alright?
- You girls! Won't you be quiet? - Hey!
Do older sisters look like nothing to you?
Mother, please let me, the oldest, choose first.
I don't know.
Whether you guys pull each other's hair out and fight
or take all the belongings of Mom, who is not even dead yet, do whatever you want!
Saimdang, what would you like to take?
I am fine.
But, would it be okay to take the books that Father was reading?
Wine!
Bring me some drink!
Bring some drink. Drink.
Ah, wine...
Your Excellency, Prince Eui Seong.
Oh, Royal Guard Captain. Good thing you came. Have a seat.
Have some drink. Hurry.
Tomorrow is the wedding day!
You know how long His Majesty has waited for the wedding.
Please think about His Majesty, who is lonely.
Living is lonely anyway.
Both I am and you are, Captain,
and His Majesty, too.
It's all over. Prince Eui Seong and I...
Everything that we've shared together, all of it.
How can you do this? How could you?! How?!
Let's run away to where no one knows.
So that no one can bother us, let's run away.
1540 - North Pyeong Village, Gangreung
- Woo hoo! - Wow!
Wow, you look pretty.
Do you want to try it?
Really?
The Madam is coming.
Oh, no!
Emergency!
Oh, Young Master, what are you doing?
Lee Seon (Saimdang's oldest son)
Lee Woo (Saimdang's third son)
Lee Mae Chang (Saimdang's oldest daughter)
Aigo! How did you...
Mother, you've come back.
You were playing "hitting with a stone."
No, I wasn't.
Your palms and pants are smeared with dirt.
Where is Hyeon Ryong?
Mother.
Confucius said that unless one knows Heaven's will, one cannot become a man of virtue.(Saimdang's second son - He becomes Lee Yi "Yool Gok")
This saying keeps bothering me.
Even Confucius found out Heaven's will at the age of 50.
So, do I need to wait until I turn 50?
What did I tell you to do, Hyeon Ryong?
You told me to write a poem, and I wrote three!
What else?
You told me to take care of Woo.
Seon and Mae Chang, have you finished all your assignments?
I have finished them all.
Seon.
- Mae Chang! - Yes.
I've finished them all. I wrote three of them.
Would you like to see them now—
It is said that an official becomes complacent after achieving success,
disease gets worse immediately after getting better,
and trouble is caused by being lazy and not abstaining.
Why do you think so?
It is because the beginning and the end are not consistent.
It's the same for you.
Just because the environment is temporarily disorderly as we prepare for the move,
is it right to procrastinate about doing the assignments that you've always done?
- I've done wong. - I've done wrong.
I've done all my homework. This is unfair.
Why are you asking only me to take care of Woo?
Because of Woo, I do not have time to read books.
Hyungnim doesn't read books and just plays outside. Wouldn't it better for Hyungnim to take care of Woo?
This little!
You still do not know the reason?
I know it. I do.
You don't like the fact that I am better at reading and writing than Hyungnim, do you?
That's why you don't let me study.
Mother, you only care about Hyungnim.
Until you find the answer, continue to take care of Woo.
Wait. What are my puppies doing over here? Huh?
- Grandmother. - Grandmother.
Oh my goodness. Put them down. Put them down.
Grandma bought some dried persimmons that you all like. Hurry inside and eat some.
- Yes! - Yes!
Go quickly.
Ah, Mother.
They won't be able to see their maternal grandmother anymore. They can only be indulged when they're with Grandma.
Go into the inner house.
Yes.
When you make a big move, there will be expenses that you hadn't thought of.
No, Mother.
Soojinbang's house is enough. I've received more than enough.(Soojinbang - Modern day Seoul Jongro-gu Chungjin-dong)
If it weighs on your conscience, then just think of it as Grandma giving spending money for her grandchildren.
Put it away safely, and use it when you need it.
That's not how a mother feels when sending her child far away.
I'm sorry, Mother,
because I'm leaving you here alone.
Live with your head held high. Just stand tall.
Put that here.
Aigoo, Miss, just rest. We'll take care of it all.
Is it almost done?
Yes, that's almost the last thing. We just have to pack the items inside the closet.
I'll organize that, so please help the kids with their belongings.
Yes.
It's a precious ink stone that was given by His Majesty.
Is this Yong Mae Mook that I've only heard of? (Yong Mae Mook - Precious ink used in palaces of the Ming Dynasty)
That's right. You couldn't obtain that in Joseon no matter how hard you tried.
If I draw with this, what color will come out?
I ask river and ocean a question.
How is it that your feelings are so like mine?
Madam asked me to return this to Heon Eon Estate.
Excuse me? Isn't it a wedding day there today?
I know, right?
Sheesh, you deliver it, Honey. I don't know.
Sheesh.
What do I do with this?
Thank you.
Old manservant.
Old manservant!
Did you look for me?
Why is this here?
From Oh Jook Heon, they sent it back to the original owner.
What?
I don't remember these things. Return them immediately.
Yes.
Return them immediately!
Groom enters!
Bride bow down.
Offer the drink to the bride and groom.
Ah, damn it!
Uncle, why are you like this?
Uncle, why are you acting like this?
What are you doing, Uncle?
- Uncle! - Aish!
Ah, Uncle!
What are you doing, Uncle?!
You rascal!
Uncle!
You rascal!
Aigoo!
Oh, no!
Miss! Miss Saimdang!
He said to return this.
He said that he doesn't know what this is.
The year 1540, Hanyang
Wait up!
Take the belongings inside.
- Do you like it that much? - Yes!
Since it's close to the Central Village School, I like it even more. When will you send us to Central School?
Why are you causing such a commotion at another person's home?
Joongboohakdang - One of the 4 main school systems. Part of Seonkyunkwan, the foremost educational institute then.
Who are you?
- She's the Mistress of this house. - Hey!
This is my house.
What's going on here, Miss?
When did you start living here?
It came out in a quick sale, so I bought it a month ago and moved in.
- What do you mean quick sale? - Keep quiet.
May I ask whom you bought it from?
I think he said his name was Lee Won Soo.
What? It is the master.
Did Father sell it?
What should we do, Mother?
From what I hear, something went wrong with him when he stood surety.
He said he needed money urgently or something.
Oh well, let's go. You should all go back.
Don't worry, there's probably some kind of misunderstanding.
Hyang, please go around the neighborhood and look for the master. Hurry.
Yes.
Here, here.
Sir!
Here. Take a look at it.
Father!
Come. Look. Take a look at this.
- Father! Father! - Sir!
- By chance...- There's a lot to see.
His height is about yeah high, his eyes are really big and round,
while his skin is really darkened. Have you seen my master? His name is Sir Lee Won Soo.
If you tell me like that how would I know?
Why don't you try looking for a Mr. Kim in the capital? (Kim is a very common surname)
Business sucks, too. Go away!
- Why'd you push me! Sir!! - So unlucky!
That girl Hyang is searching around for me. Lee Won Soo (Saimdang's Husband)
Aigoo, what to do. Our poor Seon, Mae Chang, Hyeon Ryong, and Woo are so pitiful
for meeting a wretched father.
That's right. I need to catch the guy that took my money.
- Let me catch that bastard. I'll beat that horrible bastard— - Sir!
Oh, Sir!!!
I'm really going to go insane. Aigoo.
How exciting.
Meeting for Mothers with children in the Central Village School
Seeing how lively the cicada tightly grips the reed, first prize is surely already yours!
Doesn't the reed signify the table that the King bestows? (King may give food or drink to one who places first on exams.)
Madam Seo, you're being too obvious. Just tell her you want it.
Of course not. Our respected Hyungnim Hwi Eum Dang is busy preparing for the meeting of those who have placed first in the civil exam.
I came to try to lessen her burden.
If you bring Hyungnim Hwi Eum Dang's Flowers and Insects painting into your house,
promotion, establishment of position, numerous children, and such fortuitous events occur. Even my youngest should know.
The praise is too high. Hwi Eum Dang (Seok Sun, Wife of Min Chi Hyeong)
I'm just scribbling as a hobby.
If just scribbling is this level, then it must be none other than a celestially bestowed talent.
That's right.
I have once again been indebted to the mothers of the Central Village School.
Because of the date conflict with the Yongdoo meeting (for those who placed first in the civil exam), I had asked to change our meeting day
for you all to come here and give me your best wishes.
If our Central Village School Parents' Association doesn't actively support you, who else should?
Of course!
Oh, no. What are we going to do?
What's the matter?
I... I'm sorry.
I committed a sin grave enough to die! Grave enough to die!
- How could you make such a mistake when we have such an important event ahead of us? - I'm so sorry
- Where did you put your head! - I'm sorry.
Send someone immediately to the ceramics alley. You must find one that is most similar to the shattered white porcelain with blue underglaze.
Yes.
What are you doing! Hurry and clean it all up!
Yes.
Please do not worry.
Min Chi Hyeong (Deputy Minister of the Interior)
I committed a sin grave enough for death.
Master! Please spare me!
Master! Master, please save at least my life.
This body, for you until my bones shatter--
The three state councilors, the Ministers of the Six Offices, and even the King will attend this event.
To have such a banquet scheduled before us, and for a lowly bastard like you to dare!!!
You had placed your hands on alcohol.
It was just a single drink. Really!
They have already smelled the blood.
The elderly banquet will be organized by the Deputy Minister of the Interior? King Joongjong (35th Year of Reign)
That is so.
Not only is it insufficient that the three state councilors make a mockery of me, now even a petty 3rd rank official!
Min Chi Yeong.
There is no place that is not under his influence.
The real owner of Jangwoo Papers, the company that has the exclusive rights to provide paper to the Bureau of Printing, is Min Chi Hyeong.
Jangwon Paper Company - #1 Paper company that sells the best quality paper
The enormous wealth that he has accumulated continually seeps into the pockets of the rich and powerful in the court.
He also has strong personal connections to Ming Dynasty's court.
Hong Gye Pil - Left State Minister
Not only that, Jo Yoon Pyeong - Right State Minister
a significant amount of his money is flowing into the royal stores.Yoon Gyeong Bo - Prime Minister
What did you say? Even my royal treasury?
That is how it is.
Gwanghwa Gate
Elderly Banquet - Annual banquet held at the palace for those over 80 years old.
Did you know that the Prime Minister recommended you to be the chief overseer of the elderly banquet? Were you aware of it?
I apologize.
You empty out your personal assets each month to hold a banquet for the elderly?
It's not something to be greatly proud of.
Whether it be a big or small accomplishment, what's important is your heart for the people. How great this is.
They will go back to their daily lives and sing your praises, even more, Your Majesty. So that is also a good thing.
- Is that how things go? - Yes.
Your Majesty, Prince Eui Seong has arrived at Gwanghwa Gate. (entrance to Gyeongbok Palace)
What did you say? Prince Eui Seong has come?
Prince Eui Seong has come.
I kept putting a message out to him, saying that I want to see him, yet there was no reply.
It's been 20 years! Twenty!
Welcome. Now you privilege me to see your face.
You have grown very old, Your Majesty.
You punk!
Let's share what happened to you in due time. First, hurry on inside.
That's right! If it's Lee Won Soo of Soojinbang...that family is...
Oh here. The ownership has been transferred from Lee Won Soo to Kim Geon Joong.
It's only been a few days since the owner changed.
You see this? His signature.
Are you alright, Madam?
Tisk, tisk. I know even without asking. Nowadays scammers are about.
Even this month, you're the umpteenth person.
To a golden land such as Soojinbang, dung flies (scammers) are easily attracted.
As much as the husband may be easily misled, the wife has to be sure to be alert.
Still, he should say, "This happened, and then after that, this."
"So I lost the house." He should've let us know somehow so we could've at least prepared.
Is this something that can be resolved by suddenly hiding himself?
Master is really too much.
What does he expect Madam or the young masters and young lady to do?
Hyang.
Yes.
They say that even if you have both eyes open, they will slit your nose. That's how the capital is.
Master should've looked into it well. What are we supposed to do now?
Let's go.
Now, everyone has gathered.
Our Prince Eui Seong has a request, so let's hear it.
Okay, say it.
Please nullify my marriage.
A Joseon nobleman had to get the King's permission to get divorced.
What did you say? You want me to nullify the marriage?
That's the most obscene thing I've heard.
That doesn't make any sense.
Prince Eui Seong is a royal who should be a role model for the people.
I will never return.
Think of the perpetually faithful wife, without sin,
who will live her whole life waiting for a dear husband who will never come.
I don't think it's something to only oppose, so
think about it from the other point of view,
as if that woman were your own daughter.
Since he wants it so sincerely, grant his wish this one time.
What do you think of having him serve by His Majesty's side for the rest of his life?
Your Excellency!
What a brilliant idea to put a person in a good mood.
What do you think?
Do you like it or not?
I will accept your decision, Your Majesty.
I will nullify your marriage. Going forward, subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
you will never be able to leave me.
What? A man of royal blood asks to have his marriage canceled?
Royal blood? What damned royal blood?
From when he was young, didn't he grow up
wandering the country like a reckless simpleton?
This isn't a matter to be thought of so simply.
What do you mean, it's not simple, Prime Minister?
Who is that fellow? Isn't he the grandchild of Prince Goo Seong, who previously tried to corner all of us meritorious subjects
and then was driven to death as a traitor?
The King brought a man like that into the palace.
What might his real intentions be?
Sang Eui Won - Where the King's and other officials' court attire are made.
They say that clothes are like wings.
The frame is good so it seems that the clothes shine.
- Thank you. - Are you sincere?
You don't think I am?
I thought you would feel uncomfortable, having been tied to His Majesty for the rest of your life.
You're very good at reading people's minds.
And you know how to use them.
I'm honored that you see me that way.
Oh, although it's not lavish, I'm holding a humble banquet at my house at the beginning of next month.
If I could see you at that time, it would be even more of an honor.
I will decline.
Look here. Please consider our circumstances.
It looks like the children are going to spend the night on the road.
Please find us a house to move into temporarily.
You don't know anything about the ways of the world.
Where is there an empty house you can immediately go into inside the four main gates?
I'm not even sure if there's one all the way over near Apgujeong.
Are you saying there isn't even one empty house?
That's what I'm saying.
Please think hard. How could there not be even one?
You sure... man... really...
There is just one, but...
In good conscience, that place won't do. No matter how I think about it,
that isn't a place fit for people to live in.
It's been so many tens of years that it's been empty that it leaks rain really bad and it's practically a haunted house.
Since it's next door to the Deposed Queen Shin, who was chased out for being a traitor's daughter, everyone avoids it.
Where is there a house that isn't fit for people to live in?
This is everything I have right now.
Please look kindly on us.
What is this?
Wait at the tavern for a little. I'll go to Soojinbang area and be right back.
- I'll request it of you. - Don't worry.
Get out of the way! It's the palanquin of His Excellency, Prince Eui Seong!
Get out of the way! It's the palanquin of His Excellency, Prince Eui Seong!♬The wind blows, is that you? ♬
♬Flying flower petals look like you too♬
♬Passing the time, ♬
♬ Did you come to comfort the pitiful heart? ♬
♬ Don't forget me. Promise me. ♬
♬ No matter when or where ♬
There is one guy, a royal relative named Prince Eui Seong.
I heard he is someone who received all the favors of His Majesty.
His whereabouts for the past 20 years are hazy.
In the 20 years since we lost contact, what he did and how he lived,
his whereabouts including the people who approach him,
investigate them all closely.
Yes.
So are the meeting preparations going well?
Make sure to prepare things well in advance and
as for the royal table for His Majesty, discuss it with Dae Ryeong Sook Soo (royal chef).
I understand.
That His Majesty is visiting my house
is an opportunity to let everyone know that our family has achieved the center of power.
I know it well.
I will make sure that there isn't even one mistake made.
Prince Eui Seong. He is the problem.
Did you say Prince Eui Seong?
Great Prince Im Yeong's great grandson, who got saved while wondering around as a beggar.
Don't you know him too, Wife? Weren't you also from the same North Pyeong Village?
I'm not sure...
Well, that's probably true.
Prince Eui Seong has come to Hanyang.
Madam, it's the kind of house where it feels like something (ghosts) will immediately come out.
No matter how I think of it, I don't think this is the place.
They say it's a haunted house where evil spirits wonder around every night, Mother.
There's no such thing as ghosts.
This doesn't ever seem to be a house that you should pay to enter.
It's actually a house you should receive money to enter.
I know, you're right.
But we can avoid the rain.
What?
- Mother? - Madam.
Present: Seo Ji Yoon has become a substitute driver.
Yes, President. I'm here in front of the convenience store. Where are you?
- Here. Here. - Oh yes. I'm sorry. I was late.
- Why are you so late? - The car.
- The car is here. - Oh, j-j-just a minute.
- O-Open the door. - Okay.
Sunbae Ji Yoon?
It's hot.
Turn on the air conditioner.
It's too strong. Are you going to give me gas money, Ajumma?
I'm sorry.
Well, it's not so bad for you to need to be sorry about it.
But how old are you, 35? (using informal, casual speech)
Thirty-six?
Customer, put on your seat belt. We have to make a turn.
Aigo...
But,
with a face like that, it doesn't seem that you wouldn't need to do this kind of work—
Customer. Customer.
I don't see Building 706.
What? There's only up to Building 4.
- You said it was Building 4 earlier...- Building 4 is that way,
so turn right in a bit.
But ahjumma, your driving is rough. Exactly my style.
What do you think of taking a little break, huh?
You said before it was Building 4, right?
Ah, I'm so tired. Why am I so tired?
Stop the car for a bit. Let's just rest for a bit. Hmm?
How much do you earn driving people in one night?
It seems like we're almost there, so I will stop the car here.
Why are you like this between people who know better?
What are you doing?
Ahjusshi, I'm sorry!
Gosh, listen to a person's words to the end!
Someone, please save me!
Gosh, are you crazy?
If you were going to act so expensively why did you come out to substitute drive? Come here and talk.
Why are you acting so embarrassingly, seriously? Come over here.
Help!
Come on over here.
Sunbae! Are you okay?
- What's this? - What, what?
- You're doing well. - Who are you now?!
Pervert!
Over here! A person is dying here!
Sir, just look at my face!
Decide after looking at my face!
These people are gold diggers and con artists!
This woman seduced me.
- What are you saying, seriously?! - You're such a jerk, acting this way at the police station.
Stop it.
There's a black box. All the evidence is there. Check it out.
- That's right. The black box.- Black box. Check the black box.
- Hurry up and go bring in the black box. - Yes.
Wait a moment.
- Hurry up and bring it. - Sir, why are you going so far as to look at the black box?
- You'll just see a conversation after having a few drinks.- Please make sure to investigate thoroughly.
- But why are you using that— - Why is this ahjussi so loud?
Is it okay to damage my face like this after just exchanging a few words? I feel so wronged!
Ahjusshi, how many drinks did you have?
- Sir, that's not what's important right now. - Your face is really red right now. It looks like you're still drunk.
Just because I had a few words with a substitute driver, can he make a person like this?
An amazing painting came in, An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang.
Professor Min confirmed it as authentic, and Sunjin Group will acquire it.
But for some reason, it doesn't feel right. How should I say...
The brush strokes and the lines of ink feel rather heavy. Something isn't quite right with the silk, either.
Min Seok, this conspiracy originated from Sunjin Group.
Gallery Sun is the hub through which they amass their slush funds, so look through there.
One of the gallery's guards is one of my ROTC juniors. You'll also know once you see him.
I've talked to him in advance, so contact him.
Come home early.
Yes, Mother-In-Law.
Oh, Mom.
Gosh, why do you never pick up the phone? Is something going on?
I'm worried about you, so call me.
You have two voicemails.
This is Jeong Eun Soo's mother, right? This is the office of Inseon Elementary School.
I see that you haven't deposited the tuition yet. Please confirm it.
This is the quarantine station of Incheon International Airport. We are done inspecting the seeds you left with us and you can come claim them.
Why did you appear before me?
Why?
Mother, you're back?
Mother.
What happened with the business you were out to take care of?
The house your family bought for us...
Did it really fall into some other people's possession?
Perhaps something has happened to Father.
As of now, it has been five and a half days.
There is a great possibility that there is a problem.
He's probably too ashamed to see us after causing an accident.
Don't talk about your father like that.
Don't be like this, and lie down for a bit.
We'll be in real big trouble if you also fall ill.
You don't need to worry about this.
But... I do not see Woo.
Mother, that is... He is a little strange.
Why?
Woo!
- Your fever is so high! - What? What do we do?
This won't do. I'll have to carry him on my back.
Over there!
It's the measles.
Whether you use medicine or acupuncture, just please save him.
But the price of the arrowroot lilyturf medicine (treatment for measles) is somewhat expensive nowadays.
My Lady, what do we do now?
We gathered up all the money we could and poured it into finding living quarters.
What are we going to do with the young master now?
Arrowroot lilyturf medication... Are you saying it is a good treatment?
Yes.
I will get the money, so please make the medicine right away.
This is the first Yongdoo (Dragon's Head League) meeting (for those who placed first in civil service exam) in a long time.
Since we are meeting in this carefree attire, my Lords, my heart also feels carefree.
So, from the perspective of a newbie court officer, what do you think is the most pressing problem to be fixed in Joseon right now?
Since I was young,
around me
I have seen many subjects becoming impoverished due to the tribute-taxes.
Please lighten their burdens by addressing the abuses associated with the tribute tax system.
A heart for the people...
It seems fitting for a young person like you.
Please report to me the abuses of the tribute tax system and prepare a way to improve it.
That must not be allowed.
The fact that spoon-feeding the subjects and gorging them is not ultimately good for them...
This young friend will soon come to know this, too.
The saying goes teaching the subjects how to fish is better than handing out fish to them.
Teach them what when they don't even have the energy to hold fishing poles?
If you repeal the tribute tax system, what are you going to do about the losses coming with it?
Do you know how many craftsmen are employed, nationwide, thanks to the tribute tax system?
What about the number and livelihoods of the families they have to support?
We cannot do it, not because we do not care about the people,
but because reforming a whole system is not as easy as engaging in an academic exercise.
Isn't that why His Majesty is present and under him, the three state councilors and court officials like us?
Those government officials
only caring about their own personal benefit is the problem.
Now, why don't we have a drink?
Drink a little more.
I heard that Prince Eui Seong's artistic talent surpasses that of An Gyeon.
I happened to receive a precious ink from Ming Dynasty, so I have prepared it for you.
Prince Eui Seong's artistic talent that I've only heard of,

Well, I'm not sure. It's been so long since I've held a brush that I don't even remember.
But is a painting something that has to be drawn with a brush? I've been formulating a painting that you can hear with your ears.
A painting that you can hear with ears?
You look exactly the same as 20 years ago.
I've missed you, Prince Eui Seong.
You've been a great host today.
If you deliver this to Madam, she will understand. This is the painting of plants and insects that my wife drew.
I drew lotus flowers that represent the success of your descendants, and a cicada holding on to a reed.
I drew it with a prayerful heart for your grandson to pass the next state examination.
Aha! So, this is what my wife has been praising so much;
Hwi Eum Dang's Plants and Insects painting.
In that case, I will receive it with a thankful heart.
Oh, Prince Eui Seong, I'll take my leave first.
Then...
Ah!
This is a small gift that my wife prepared.
It's a small gift.
Pleased to meet you for the first time.
Well, then, goodbye.
Let us go.
To meet for the first time?
♬ Don't smile at me ♬
♬ If it's not love towards me ♬
I got hurt as well.
I'm in pain too. Don't your eyes see me at all?
You left me on the middle of the mountain.
Are you saying it doesn't matter even if wolves feed on me?
Move away!
There is someone who is alive.
Find the owner of this ribbon.
We must find and kill her.
Please buy a Yong Mae Mook (Precious ink stone).
Buy a Yong Mae Mook that will turn the worst calligrapher into the best one.
Please buy a Yong Mae Mook.
Please purchase a Yong Mae Mook, young scholar!
Why don't you take a look at Yong Mae Mook?
- You know how to discern Yong Mae Mook. - Where did you get this?
- To tell you about this Yong Mae Mook—- I asked you from where you got this!
- Well... Why are you like this? - Did you steal it?
- Huh? What do you mean I stole it? I bought it from some woman today. - What?
I'm telling the truth. She said she needed money urgently.
Some beautiful lady... She said she lives in Soojinbang.
What?

Look at our state! The huge mansion that the elder madam bought us is in front of us.
Master gets involved in useless things and gets scammed, instead of studying for the civil exam.
- He said he was going up to Hanyang (capital city) and we were so happy to follow him up here. - Hyang.
Yes. It's been vacant for over ten years, so no matter how much I wipe, there is no end to it.
There's also so much of the young masters and young lady's laundry.
That's how we all lived. You and I both.
Why don't you get some rest? I'll do it all.
When will you be able to finish all of this?
♬ By the sobbing wind, my heart is blown♬
♬ Longing for the song of the day, which can't come back ♬
♬ The flower in full bloom, the kite flying everywhere ♬
How would you do that? How could you become another man's wife without even a word of excuse?
Did you say a far-gone loser? Right now, in my eyes,
that's exactly how you look.
Real Gyeom has finally come back. What phrase would be fitting for the center of study of the arts of Joseon?
Bi Ik Dang. I'll call it Bi Ik Dang.
Prince Eui Seong is holding on to a futile dream.
Please deliver this to the Madam.
He's come back to life. His artistic talent is alive.
I heard she wrote the response.
With what kind of heart would someone write a response?
What kind of corruption and fraud the three councilors and Min Chi Hyeong are committing;
Investigate it thoroughly.
His Majesty, the King, is coming!
Oh my! I get to see the king!
Children, have you seen Hyung Ryong and Woo?
