What has happened to you?
Did you lose your mind?
I am sane, and that is why I am telling you this.
Say it to my face again.
What was that?
I will not become an official!
Where have you been?
Do you know how worried Ms. Chae was?
I went to Jeonju to get some fresh air.
Aunt.
Young Master Baek.
Is there something wrong?
Boss beat Chul Du to death.
Goodness.
Well...
My goodness, seriously.
Did I do something wrong?
What are you going to do if you are not going to become an official?
I will leave Gobu with my mother once Yi Hyun gets married.
- And do what? - I will become a farmer.
- With no district magistrate? - I am sure there will be one.
Do you think there will be no officials there...
or odd-job workers like you?
(Odd-job workers: People who do odd jobs in each district)
I am already determined.
So please let my mother no longer be of low class.
Just become an official.
That is your fate.
Father.
Please...
Please just let me go.
I can...
take care of my mother.
Okay, fine.
Go ahead.
Okay.
- Why are you staring at me? - You darn punk.
Gosh, you are driving me crazy.
What is the matter? I did what you asked.
We will have to face a lot of hardships from now on.
That is what life is.
We will starve a lot as well.
Dying is the worst thing that can happen to us.
No one is going to die.
We will not die.
You can trust me.
I thought you bought this in Jeonju.
That is not something you can buy in Jeonju.
Even in Japan, it is known as a luxury item worn by high officials.
Gosh, really?
Let me see.
Is... Is this not the right hand?
I thought it was for the governor.
I can buy it again.
Why are you being so kind to That Man?
Did you become close or what?
Let me go.
You better not be spotted by me ever again.
I guess you could say that.
That is nonsense.
Get up. We will be going to Mujang-hyun.
Why?
Do you remember the marketplace tax ledger we stole...
from my father's Inn?
What about it?
The marketplace tax in Mujang-hyun has increased drastically.
That means there has been an increase in population.
So are you saying...
Jeon Bong Jun might be hiding there?
Possibly.
I have a question.
Go ahead.
Do you...
like That Man?
You darn little... No, I do not.
- No? - No.
Those gloves were really expensive.
I do not like him.
Why are you asking that?
Let us go.
Is he crazy?
Others would die to become an official.
Why would he refuse?
Even dogs refuse to eat if you force them to.
Honey.
You should let Hong Ga take over before That Man changes his mind.
Hong Ga has been nothing but loyal to us...
from the day you started writing documents as a proxy...
up until this moment as your business grew.
Just tell him to give us half of his fortune.
Master Baek.
Did you want to see me?
- Follow me. - Okay.
Yi Kang refused to take over my position.
What?
Then who will take over?
Listen to me carefully.
What?
Brother.
Young Master Baek.
Where is Yi Kang? Did he leave already?
Yes, he left early in the morning to get medicine for Chul Du.
- Take it. - What is it?
Just take it.
Boss got up early in the morning to get this just for you.
How is your injury?
That punk is so petty.
- Chul Du. - Chul Du.
Come here.
Hurry up and answer the question!
Who is the Donghak member?
Goodness, go easy on him.
He might die.
Yoo Wol.
Who?
Yoo Wol, the woman that works for the Baek family.
What did he just say?
This place is paradise.
Why would you try to leave?
What are you doing?
The riot investigator who left to catch Jeon Bong Jun...
is not making any progress.
So when he returns, he will be very furious.
That means you will have to pay him a huge amount of money...
to get Yoo Wol out of jail.
But the one rice store that I had left got burned down.
So you will have to get her out on your own.
Stop joking around.
It is not funny.
Have you ever seen me joking around?
Undo what you have done before I go mad.
So many people have already witnessed the testimony.
It is too late.
You told me you can take care of your mother.
Then you should show me that you are capable of getting her out of jail.
Father!
How...
How could you do this?
Because I am your father.
What?
If you want to survive in this harsh world,
you should not mistake confidence as power.
That is the shortcut to death.
Master Baek!
Do not be harsh to Yoo Wol. Just keep her locked up.
Yoo Wol is not home.
What?
I am a Donghak member? What is going on?
We must leave this town first.
No.
What if you get in trouble for this?
Do not worry. We will go to a safe place.
"Come to the place where you and I first had a drink together,"
he said.
What...
(Seonun Temple)
I guess you got better at drinking when you came here to study.
It is medicine...
because I made this with raspberry.
What... This is no joke.
This is not good.
You are handsome and good at drinking too.
I will get you a horse. Head there quickly.
Not before I clear my mother's name.
I cannot let her live as a sinner for the rest of her life.
He lives alone without any family or friends.
You framed an innocent. How can you be asleep?
Wake up.
What?
People might think...
you killed that punk.
I was going to satisfy myself with framing you,
but too bad.
- Chul Du. - I am glad you are here.
Let us just put an end.
That Man.
I will tell people that you died while fighting with the man...
who told on your mother.
And that punk got stabbed with a dagger in his chest.
Gosh. Where did the dagger go?
[VIU Ver] SBS E07 'The Nokdu Flower' "Yoo Wol Being Falsely Accused" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
According to an odd-job worker named Eok Seoi,
Baek Yi Kang went there in the afternoon.
What about the dead odd-job worker?
That part is a bit strange,
but it is said he got beaten up by Baek Yi Kang.
Master,
it is true he is rough, but he would never kill anyone.
It is cold outside. Why do you not go back in?
Let us have time to talk.
- Hong Ga. - Yes?
Report this case to Jeolla Governor's Office...
and remove Baek Yi Kang's name from the officers' list.
Master!
What are you waiting for, patrol?
Go arrest him immediately.
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
I am always being thankful to you, Lord Hwang.
So he knows...
where Baek Ga is hiding.
So what brings you here?
I would like to send you what your in-laws are up to.
That Man has committed murder.
What?
He made all the fuss to clear his mother's name...
and ended up killing two men.
"Clear his mother's name"?
I do not know what was gotten into him,
but he refused to become an official.
Baek Ga framed Yoo Wol as a Donghak member...
to make That Man come to his senses.
Baek Ga is that evil.
Are you still going to proceed with the wedding?
Go back now.
I will hear the details from Yi Hyun.
Yi Hyun?
He disappeared with Yoo Wol.
Is it because things are troublous?
A lot of people are here to pray.
They are Donghak members on the run.
Some of them might be framed like you.
By the way, you should head back to Gobu now.
People might worry about you.
Young Master.
Are you not even mad?
I am so mad...
that I am going crazy.
Perhaps, I am not any different from Donghak members.
What?
I may be ignorant,
but I know that Donghak is about...
putting importance on people regardless of class.
Thus, I have prayed so much...
every dawn.
What did you pray for?
For Yi Kang to lead a decent life...
in the world where there is no high or low class.
What is the use of having many villagers and collecting much tax?
Jeon Bong Jun is nowhere to be found.
Just eat your food.
We have knocked enough of wrong doors,
so let us go back to Jeonju now.
Be patient already.
We have to find Jeon Bong Jun...
for Nakamura to write off our penalty.
- Snake! - Goodness!
Gosh!
Lady Song.
There is Seonun Temple not far from here.
Their raspberry wine is amazing.
Let us go have a sip of it.
Traveling with a baby might be way better than traveling with you.
What?
I think we got the right place this time.
- Goodness. - Hurry.
Hurry up.
There are way too many people.
I think we need to move to another temple.
What about Yi Kang then?
I am close with the chief monk here, so we can ask him for a message.
He should have arrived here sooner though.
Soldiers are here! Run!
Pathetic rats.
(Riot Investigator Lee Yong Tae)
- Get them. - Let us go!
Jeon Bong Jun might be hiding here.
Search every corner.
- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.
How dare you persecute innocent Donghak followers?
Are you not afraid of up above?
How impudent.
Attack.
Yi Hyun.
Young Master! Young Master!
No.
You do not want to get yourself killed. Stay still.
- Let me go. - Young Master!
Young Master!
Let me go!
Let go!
We can do this! The backup forces have arrived.
Darn it.
Fools.
Where is the riot investigator?
Over there.
So that punk is the riot investigator.
Shall we warm up a little?
Let us go.
My lord!
Aunt!
Master.
Has Yi Kang gotten a bit mature?
Look.
It is the new world.
What?
You saw Yi Hyun in Seonun Temple?
Yes.
He was with Yoo Wol.
So where is he now?
I am sorry.
Gosh, Father!
What should we do?
The riot investigator became a pulp too.
What if something happens to Yi Hyun?
Stop jinxing it.
Yi Hyun is not that weak.
You are the son of Baek Ga?
That is right.
Do not worry.
I am not that shameful to ask his son for his evil deeds.
Then release me now.
I am soon to be married.
So I have heard.
Your fiancee is Myung Sim.
Right.
I heard you studied in Japan. Where in Japan?
I barely finished the ordinary course at Keio University.
Then you must have become friends...
with the Gaehwa members in exile.
I stayed in Master Park Young Hyo's dormitory...
which he runs to make a living.
(Park Young Hyo, the head of Gaehwa which caused Gapsin Coup)
The Park Young Hyo runs a dormitory?
He must be clueless in life.
We are talking about the Park Young Hyo.
He is rather persevering.
Look.
Are you not interested in joining us?
(Episode 8 will air shortly.)
Are you not interested in joining us?
You got yourself the knowledge with the money squeezed out of people.
Why do you not use it for them?
I apologize,
but I do not agree with your way.
Why not?
Violation is savage.
It cannot be the key to open a new world.
Then what do you think is the key?
The developed culture of enlightened countries.
Civilization.
"Civilization".
Civilization will reform people...
and change the world.
Do you know what I think...
is the most wretched barbarism?
I am not sure.
The powers who claim to be a civilized country.
They invade small countries and suck all their blood out.
They fight with each other over colonization. They are real savages.
Where there is light, there is darkness.
Do not be blinded by the light of civilization.
Just as people made civilization,
they will be the ones to change the world also.
I will let you go.
(Episode 8)
Go deliver my message to Myung Sim.
Her nosy brother...
is too busy to be there at her wedding.
Send her my sincere congratulations.
It will be a rough way to Jeonju Castle.
The path will be paved...
if we walk on them.
Is everything good?
Yes.
(Mount Wangje, Yeosi-moe, Mujang-hyun, Jeolla Province)
My gosh.
Gosh. Where did they gather all these people?
It is not that they gathered.
People came themselves.
Maybe we should inform this to the governor instead of Nakamura.
Should we not ask for a reward?
They will not give any reward even if we demand it.
Then we will make a scene.
Let us go.
I think he got attacked on his run from Seonun Temple.
Baek Yi Kang, wake up.
Baek Yi Kang. Baek Yi Kang!
It is That Man. Why is he here?
Oh, gosh.
Hey, can you recognize us?
Do you recognize me?
Why did you not listen to me?
What?
I told you not to be spotted by me ever again.
(Jeolla Provincial Office, Jeonju)
There were 1,000 of Donghak members?
He eyeballed the number,
and it was at least that many.
Can you risk your life on it?
Sure.
Why would I tell a lie to my lord?
They are just a mob in large numbers.
I will send my best men to wipe them out.
Why is it so hard to make one little compliment?
He should have given me a reward...
instead of treating me like that.
What a jerk!
- My lord. - Goodness.
Oh, come on.
By the way, why did you come alone?
What?
Where is Ja In? Did you sell her off to somewhere?
What do you mean? She is too boyish to be sold in the first place.
She would get returned even if I did.
So where is she?
Do not worry.
She is looking for the buyer herself.
What is he saying?
Gosh, will you make some noise?
What happened?
We found you on our way to Jeonju.
Master Choi brought you here.
That is what happened.
Can you adjust your clothes or something?
You saw it all. What is the fuss?
What about you?
Why were you down there?
Where are we?
Is it far away from Seonun Temple?
- "Seonun Temple"? - Yes.
I do not know what you are up to, but you need to rest.
I must go. My mother and brother are there.
What?
What is it?
There is no use in going.
It turned into a mess already.
I cannot believe it until I see it for myself.
You must not go.
Soldiers will raid Mujang-hyun.
There will be a huge battle.
(Wanted, Baek Yi Kang: On the run after murdering two men)
How about we frame Yoo Wol as a Donghak member...
What? Yi Hyun is here?
That is right.
- Yi Hyun. - Yi Hyun.
Is it you?
Is it really you?
Gosh, my son.
It is you.
Yi Hyun.
Why would you rend my heart so much?
Yi Hyun.
You are back.
What happened to Yoo Wol?
I...
killed her.
A lowly servant forgot her place...
and took a belief that was outlawed.
What would happen to our household if I were to just let her be?
After all you did to make us what we are.
You fool.
Yi Hyun, what is wrong with you?
Do not worry anymore, Mother.
For our great family...
and for everyone's safety,
I will kill That Man as well.
Shut your mouth!
Yi Hyun. Yi Hyun.
Get on.
The man in the poster is too handsome.
It could not be you.
Why are you doing this to me?
You said there are not just deals but things that are just done.
- I just want to do this. - Leave.
Nothing good will come from being with me.
Your right hand.
It's my fault.
When you and Master Choi went to kill Jeon Bong Jun,
I tipped him off.
I told Jeon Bong Jun.
I did so to save your lives.
I apologize.
Was this you too?
Yes.
You hurt and healed me.
Yes.
Get on behind me.
- What? - You heard me.
I do not want to see your face.
I am glad to see you are better.
I told you not to come by until the wedding.
I came because I thought you would be concerned about my half brother.
You took Yoo Wol to Seonun Temple?
You know about that?
And you got back safely.
Actually, the Donghak followers caught me...
and I met Jeon Bong Jun.
He knew about the engagement.
- He wished to congratulate Lady... - Stop.
That is enough.
Are you...
displeased that I returned?
I got that feeling.
How dare you?
I apologize. I spoke out of line.
Leave immediately.
Yes, master.
Lady Myung Sim.
Seonun Temple?
Why did you do something so dangerous?
I had no choice.
Are you hurt or sick?
No.
Do not lie. You are so pale.
This will not do. I will call a physician. Come to my chambers.
Come along.
Yes. I am in pain.
Murderer Baek Yi Kang.
That is what hurts.
[VIU Ver] SBS E08 'The Nokdu Flower' "Yi Kang & Yoo Wol's Reunion" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Mother.
Mother!
Yi Kang, give up.
She is not here!
So what happened to Yoo Wol?
Jeon Bong Jun saved her.
That is a relief.
She will be safe with Nokdu.
She is somewhere else now.
Mother.
Mother!
Yi Kang.
Seonun Temple.
She believes Yi Kang will come.
You fool.
Mother.
Are you okay?
- Are you injured? - Why the fuss?
The guy That Man.
He disappeared after killing two men.
There are posters of him everywhere.
Come in.
He is...
I told you he would be surprised.
All who see me after the drawing are shocked by my good looks.
My gosh.
Who are you?
My son is no criminal.
What?
This is where traveling peddlers stay.
It is very shabby.
Do not say that.
I am so sorry for causing you trouble.
We should help each other out.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight. - Lady Song.
So... I mean... Thank you.
Back in Gobu and here again.
What if you get found out for hiding him?
They are lost sheep.
That is the Lord's way.
You do not even go to church.
What is this?
It is what Young Master Baek ordered.
My gosh.
I meant to help at Yi Hyun's wedding, but I cannot anymore.
Worry about yourself.
What about me?
Do you not know?
You could be framed forever.
The pot is calling the kettle...
What about you? Will you be a Donghak member forever?
- It will work out for me. - And for me too.
What?
Oh, that stung.
I am done. Now go to sleep.
Goodness...
You are not even a mother.
What is your relationship with Lady Song like?
I do not know.
She seems thorough, determined, and very decent.
She is a merchant, but elegant just like a noblewoman.
She also looks as pretty as I did when I was that age.
That is the truth.
Your mother was beautiful at that age.
Yes.
Things will work out somehow.
Yi Kang.
Stay strong.
You must eat as well or your stomach will hurt.
Did you sleep well?
Yes. Did you see Yi Kang?
Is he not inside?
He was gone when I woke up.
Yi Kang...
left.
What?
We need help at the hostel. You can work with me.
Did he say where he would go?
He asked me to tell you this.
To wait as you did at Seonun Temple.
If you do, you will meet again one day.
No...
This was expensive.
It has only been a few days and it has a hole already?
It was too thin.
Yi Kang. Pass me the scissors.
Here.
What are you doing?
Wait and see. You will be shocked.
Where will you go when you leave?
Jeon Bong Jun.
It is cold out.
Why do you not come inside?
Nam.
I need you to get Hong Ga.
When is the meeting for the recommendation of new officials?
It is the middle of next month, so it is less than a month away.
You take over my position.
Master Baek.
I do not forgive traitors.
An old eagle is better than a young crow.
Why would you say that?
I am not Hong Ga if I were not loyal.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
(Jeolla Provincial Office, Jeonju)
Kim Gye Nam from Taein...
gathered a group and joined Jeon Bong Jun.
What happened to the soldiers we sent to Mujang-hyun?
They were no match for the many Donghak members.
The peddler said there were 1,000 men.
How can 1,000 men be too many?
Farmers and nomads from nearby joined them.
There are over 4,000 men now.
- What? - My lord.
Gather all the soldiers in Jeolla Province's offices...
and issue a general mobilization order to each county.
You must gather more men.
Darn this.
(Gobu Government Office)
What should we do about this?
Master.
Should we not flee to Jeonju along with the soldiers?
Stop talking nonsense.
The draft officer will arrive soon.
Prepare a draft list of eligible men.
Okay.
Are you here to fool around? Hurry up.
Okay, okay.
Lord Hwang.
You will take over from Baek Ga?
Only after the meeting.
What brings you here?
Send the others away.
Thank Lady Song for getting this for me.
Sure.
Is Yi Hyun...
on the draft list?
Why would he be?
He was left out...
for years so he could study for the state exam.
Add him.
Pardon?
Unless you want everyone to know...
you gave up Baek Ga's hideout,
put Yi Hyun on the list.
Lord Hwang.
I am sorry.
Like you said,
I did not wish for you to return.
(Special thanks to Lee Ro Geon.)
(The Nokdu Flower)
Yi Hyun was drafted into the army to fight against the revolution.
There are many other ways to be a target.
Father, you said the world is like a war zone.
I heard you are raising an army.
I want to be part of it.
Was it so easy for you to be born again?
You took all those from us.
Do you not remember Hak Dong's family?
I am not That Man anymore. I am Yi Kang.
Let us say it is a path.
Yi Kang was just about to go on his path.
