Saimdang, Light's Diary
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Oh Man Won Team @ Viki
Previously - This authentic piece painted by An Gyeon, reappeared after 500 years. Geumgang Mountain Thesis. Try writing it. - The timeline doesn't match...
I'll ask Lecturer Seo Ji Yoon. Are you confident that this is An Gyeon's piece?
I... am not sure...
I will step on you firmly and hard, so that you can't even come near this field again.
I heard you're dismissed from the research center and your classes are all canceled.
Siesta... Di Luna...?
- Going shopping during the conference? - That's not true!
"The Crazy Korean Woman."
Please understand I had no choice but to fire her even though it's in the middle of the semester.
Professor! I'm sorry, I did wrong!
Saimdang, Light's Diary
Episode 2
You're saying its price went up from 680 million won ($680,000) to 940 million won ($940,000)?
Keep pushing forward until it reaches 2 billion won. (2M USD)
Seo Ji Yoon, that girl, I completely ousted her.
She won't even be able to linger anywhere near the art field anymore.
That brat, Han Sang Hyeon as well.
I neatly cleaned up all the detractors regarding Geumgang Mountain piece
Is that so?
Yes, I'm taking care of the academics outside of the country.
It was a bit problematic that the conference on that day was leaked on Youtube,
but I ended the issue by making their inferiority the cause of the problem.
Because Han Sang Hyeon forced the question,
it feels like the foreign scholars may be convinced.
Don't worry about anything.
You should continue to display Geumgang San Do.
- "You did well." - Yes.
Did you expect to hear a compliment like that?
This event, on a small scale our Gallery Sun,
on a big scale, our group worked together to put up this project.
The media is eyeing the event.
There were many opportunities for even a small noise to become something big.
But why do you think this ended so quietly?
Thanks to you, Dean Min?
The group marketing team worked at a full scale.
Major media and portals were targeted directly one by one.
I heard the two were both Professor Min's students?
Is that all you can do in controlling your students?
I'm sorry.
If you're going to stay in that position and just fill your time to retirement age,
you can continue doing what you've been doing.
Thank you for your time.

You scared me! Who are you honking at?
You have to move aside for me to go. I can't go because of you, Ajumma!
Did you rent the road?
What in the world... What an uneducated person.
Uneducated? Who are you calling an uneducated, woman?
Ajumeoni. I'm sorry. Can you please move aside?
Hurry up and move, Ajumma!
- I can't move! - Look, look here.
Are you insane?
- Yeah, I'm crazy. Do you want me to show what a crazy bitch can be? - Is she crazy?!
You jerks! Don't think of me as easy!
We need to go fast right now.
- You bastards! - We need to go!
Let go! You bastards!
- Ajumeoni, I'm sorry. - I said I can't move!
Eun Soo! This is where our family is going to stay temporarily. So—
Where is my room?
Should we make this your room? Let's organize your stuff, okay?
Mo—
Mother...
You guys did well. Now we just have to
gobble up everything in one bite.
Okay, okay!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's! Oh!
You just bankrupted someone else's company that was doing fine.
You even moved Financial Supervisory Service.
Hey, hey. Stop talking about things that don't make money.
You're so vulgar.
Vulgar?
This vulgar body
bought the noble you those luxury goods that you're wearing from head to toe
and even set up this gallery. Why are you like this? - Shut up.
I'm going to borrow 50 Billion Won (50M USD) using Geumgang San Do as security, so have the papers signed.
- With whose permission? - Mine!
Even if you get bitten and taken by a tiger, what did I say you can do?
You just need to be alert.
Yes, no matter where you live
you just need to be alert, then you'll find the way to survive. You understood?
Aigoo, aigoo, oh my world!
What... What is this?
- It's a book written in Chinese characters! - Oh?
Geumgang San Do?
Yes, Geumgang San Do!
- Our Eun Soo can even read traditional Chinese well! - Mother, can I have that for a second?
Sure. Look, Eun Soo even reads traditional Chinese really well.
Should we properly hire a private tutor and have him start from the First Thousand-Characters Classic? (book with the first 1000 characters one learns in trad. Chinese)
The Geumgang San Do that human (Professor Min) put out.
Unless we can prove that it's fake, we can't end this fight.
Is it actually an authentic An Gyeon piece?
Something is really strange about that painting, Mount Geumgang. You must research it again.
You really don't know what's going on? Do you not know who I am?
Mother, I think I need to go outside for a moment.
Where are you going in the midst of unpacking?
Information
Here, Conservation Science Lab, Researcher Go Hye Jeong, please.
Yes.
Conservation Science Department
- Oh! Ji Yoon! - Hye Jeong!
- I thought you were moving. - This is urgent. Quickly do this.
What's the matter?
Restricted Access
It looks like it is at least a few hundred years old.
What is this stain?
It may be wine.
I found it in a centuries-old house in Bologna.
Bologna? Italy, right?
When I went to the conference last time.
First I need to dust the book and unravel the parts that are rolled up by controlling the humidity.
I have to stabilize the stained areas and recover the parts that have fallen apart.
It's going to take quite a bit of time.
I request of you, please do it as soon as possible.
Even if they are few pages, give me the parts that are recovered first.
It's in a really bad state.
There isn't much that can be deciphered.
Geumgang San Do. Geumgang San Do?
No way! An Gyeon? Is this about An Gyeon's Geumgangsan Do?
If this book is about An Gyeon's Geumgangsan Do,
there may be clues about the real An Gyeon's Geumgangsan Do.
The clear evidence that Professor Min's painting is fake.
If we can find that evidence,
you may recover your reputation and return to school.
And also bring down Professor Min.
At this point, this may be my only hope.
I'll do everything I can to recover this as soon as possible.
Oh, please give it to me, elder.
- No, no, no. It's okay, though. - No, please give me that.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Is it someone you know, Mother? - No, not at all.
I guess he lives around here.
Geez...
- Let's go inside. - Yes. - You worked hard today.
Because Mom was busy moving, tomorrow I'll make sure to feed you properly.
Yes.
What's all this thumping noise?
Argh, it's too hard!
- Why are there so many stairs in this area?! - Quiet, Mother is sleeping now. - Oh, right...
Daebak event!
An Gyeon's Geumgangsan Do comes out from the very beginning.
Oh Moon Ji An Gyeon Geum Gang San Do... (reading Chinese characters phonetically in Korean way)
Yoo Hee Bee Jae Eo Heon Won Jang... (reading Chinese characters phonetically in Korean way)
I heard the rumor that An Gyeon's Geumgang Mount is now
in Heon Won Jang. (Heonwon Estate)
Unable to hide my curiosity...
Be careful, Miss! Gangneung Heonwon Estate (Estate of Royal Relatives in Gangneung City)
Aigo.
Saimdang So An Gyeon's Geumgang San Do is inside there right?
Aigoo, Miss! Aigoo, Miss!
"Living together with benevolent people (under one roof or a neighborhood) is good. If you choose to live with people who have no benevolence how can you say that you are wise?
"People with no benevolence cannot live in poverty or wealth for long periods of time."
"A benevolent person recognizes benevolence and practices benevolence for peace of mind and to benefit others, not for self-benefit. A wise person knows that benevolence is beneficial for everyone."
Great Aunt from the Yi Family
According to Confucius, "People with no benevolence cannot live in poverty or wealth for long periods of time."
Whatever...
I don't know very well.
Ah, well...
... cannot live in poverty for long periods of time...
You wretched child! Prince Uiseong Yi Gyeom
You again! You again!
- You little! - Aigoo, Auntie!
You child! Aren't you going to let go of that?
Aigoo Auntie. I'm sorry!
Come here!
Aigoo, sorry!
- I'm in a hurry. - Catch that bastard!
Aigoo, aigoo, look, look!
Aigoo, that young master is Prince Guseong's grandson. (Prince Guseong Yi Joon, King Sejong's 4th son Royal Prince Imyeong's son)
His father was born of the relationship of Prince Guseong and a gisaeng from the country's border.
He lived with his father begging the streets until he was nine.
With his father dying early, he was pitied
and so the the Heonwon Estate elder took him in.
He doesn't do the studying that he's told to do. All he does is draw useless drawings every day.
Even if you dig through all the eight provinces of Joseon, you probably can't find a royal blooded troublemaker like him.
Aigoo. Miss! Aigoo, Miss!
Aigoo! Aigoo! Miss! Miss!
Aigoo! Miss! Where are you going?
They say that Venerable An Gyeon's piece is inside. I must see it with my own eyes.
- You can never. - There is absolutely no such thing as never.
Aigoo Miss. It hasn't been very long since your lord father came back from the capital after suffering a big trouble.
If you cause trouble again this time, your lady mother will get cursed!
- Exactly. So we just need to make sure not to get caught. - No, you can't!
If you are going to go then trample (same word as step on) me first!
Aigoo, aigoo...argh...
Oh dear... Aigoo...
It won't work, right?
Aigoo. what unsightly thing is this! Hurry and put it back on!
- I'll be the first to be killed by the Madam! - This skirt is snagging that I can't jump over!
Aigoo. So why are you trying to go over the fence? That's why the fence is there, so you don't cross.
After I go inside, toss it to me. Got it?
Aigoo. Aigoo. Miss. Be careful!
Throw it over.
Here.
Aigoo, aigoo...
What's going on with your clothes? By chance...
I don't think it's the fashion of blue eyed people (Westerners), the big trend in Ming (China) nowadays, right?
Please give it to me!
Is this your skirt?
Please give it to me.
What? I can't hear you well.
I said to give it to me.
For a precious son of a high-ranking household, your horseplay is overboard.
I don't think that's something for someone who crossed another person's fence to say.
Return to me my skirt.
Since it did come by the wind inside the boundary of my house, isn't it mine?
It's too bright for my aged great aunt to wear.
What if I tried to wear it.
What is this?
Doesn't it look like it's alive and about to move?
There is obviously no one else but the young lady in that household who can draw at such high level.
- Probably, the reason she tried to come in, not through the door, was... - I see!
She probably wanted to see this Geumgang San Do of Teacher An Gyeon.
"Sae Ae Mok Dang Hong, Jae Bae Mang Won Joong." (Oh Jook Heon in Gangneung - Saimdang's home)
"Sae Ae Mok Dang Hong, Jae Bae Mang Won Joong." (Reciting Traditional Chinese Characters)
"Soo Ji Hwang Cho Ya, Yeok Yoo Ho Hwa Chong."
Seok Soon "Soo Ji Hwang Cho Ya, Yeok Yoo Ho Hwa Chong."
"Saek Too Chon Dang Wol, Hyang Jeon Nong Soo Poong."
"Ji Pyeon Gong Ja So, Gyo Tae Sok Jeon Hong." (Shin Myeong Hwa - Saimdang's father)
"Ji Pyeon Gong Ja So, Gyo Tae Sok Jeon Hong."
It means that people nowadays love red peony, so they plant a bunch of it in their yard,
but who would know that there are a lot of beautiful flowers in the desolate wilderness?
You. You, brat! Make an interpretation of the rest.
Its color penetrates the moonlight on the town's pond, and its scent is coming with the breeze through trees on the hill.
But noble gentlemen hardly visit in this remote countryside, so its beauty is now owned by an old countryman.
Who wrote this poem?
It's "China Pink (Dianthus chinensis)", written by Jeong Seub Myeong, the ancestor of Jeong Mong Joo (who is the famous scholar in late Goryeo).
It's the poem he wrote, grieving over his own state that his talent was not recognized by the world.
Then, what are you thinking of so deeply now?
I want to go visit Geumgang Mountain!
I didn't fall asleep! I didn't fall as...
- It's unfair that I can't go to Geumgang Mountain, just because I'm a girl! - Enough.
Well, let's do it again. "Sae Ae Mok Dang Hong, Jae Bae Mang Won Joong."
"Sae Ae Mok Dang Hong, Jae Bae Mang Won Joong."
- Hey! - Oh, my!
Why are you so startled, like a person who got caught red-handed in the middle of stealing?
St-Stealing?!
- Ah Beom.(a call for an old male servant) - Yes, sir.
Are you alright?
Stand up.
Th... Thank you.
He smiled... He smiled at me.
- My Lord. - What is it?
The young master of Heonwon Jang wishes to meet you.
The young master of Heonwon Jang? Why does he want to see me?
- Alright, escort him to my room. - Yes, my Lord.
Well, that's it for today. Don't forget to do your homework.
Yes, sir.
Hey, hey, hey! Why do you think he came here? Who did he come to see, really?
I heard he's really handsome. Should we go take a look?
Why did he come?
Why did he really come? Is he acquainted with Father?
What if he came to tell on me for climbing over the fence?
Ah, I don't know what to do...
He's so tall but so petty!
This tea is made with the water from Han Song Jeong. (a famous place in Gangneung)
The fragrance of this tea is amazing.
The taste is excellent too.
I have a precious painting of Teacher An Gyeon, which is as excellent as this tea's fragrance,
so I impulsively decided to pay a visit and be acquainted with you. By chance, am I being too rude?
It's another taste of arts that scholars enjoy, meeting new people by seasons and fates, without any plan.
Since you think of me generously, Elder, it feels that my flaws are reduced by half.
Please take a look at this painting and forgive the other half of my flaws too.
They say, viewing good paintings is same as spreading one's mind.
Viewing good paintings together and sharing pure minds can be a good hobby for scholars, don't you think?
But I hear that from this residence there's someone with a keen eye for pictures who is
uh... that...
Is anyone outside?
Yes.
Go and get the second Miss.
Miss!
The way they wind and bend and blend in together makes it feel as if there is a heavenly spirit living in it.
Although Kwak Hee's painting technique is used, (Kwak Hee = Guo Xi = 郭熙 = Chinese landscape painter from Henan Province who lived during the Northern Song dynasty.)
I can't say it's the same or different. It's such a wonderful technique that shows different textures and dimensions.
Truly it is for sure that Respected Elder An Gyeon is the greatest painter of this time!
It was a color that wasn't here.
How great it would be if I could keep the Painting of Mount Geumgang next to me and keep looking at it for a long long time.
I know I should be able to find those colors.
So which mountain are you going to scour now?
Saying that you're looking for dyes, you'll be going to the mountain in front, the one in back, sideways. If you go through every mountain that's in North Pyeong Village,
then it'll be difficult for me now.
Nightly, the cold wind blows into the knuckles. You don't know how much stabbing pain it causes.
Aigoo, my tummy. Aigoo, my tummy.
Don't you think that a similar color would result if you fudged their mixing somewhat?
If you fudge the colors, then a fudged painting—
Oh oh. What brings you all the way here?
In my opinion. I think you should mix the 2nd blue green with the 7th yellow dye.
- Pardon? - How can you fail to understand?
Let's have a look.
It looks like we need to add a bit of white dye, too. (Ho Boon - White dye made by grinding seashells, such as clams, oysters, etc.)
There.
Don't you think it's pretty similar?
You're right! It's this color!
Oh?
Oh, my sketchbook!
"Poong Dae Hwa Pyeon Geo, Geum Gyu Go So Yeom Rae"
The wind embraces the flowers, and the birds sneak looks at the white blossoms?
My name's Gyeom. Yi Gyeom.
If there's something given there should be something received. What's your name?
Sa Im Dang. My name is Sa Im Dang.
♬ The moment I first saw you ♬
♬ I cannot forget ♬
♬ Without a word, you only smiled. That moment. That day. Us. ♬
♬ The sunlight is coming down again ♬
♬ It's shining upon your beautiful gaze ♬
♬ No matter where it is ♬
♬ It all becomes light, if it's you. ♬
♬ Step by step, I will come closer to you slowly ♬
♬ Don't go further away from me ♬
Oh, my! Oh, my! What is this?
Omo, omo, omo! Wow!
So the two protagonists in that book are
Sa Im Dang and Yi Gyeom. And this portrait of a beauty is
Sa Im Dang?
Oh, what?
But...
she looks strangely like you.
Daughter-in-law, aren't you going to school?
- Mother-in-law, I'll be right back? - Oh, okay.
Hello, Mother.
- Oh, when did you come? - Last night.
- What did you do? - Yes, yes, yes, I'm leaving now.
Ah, geez.
Sa Im Dang's Plant and Insect Painting subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Sa Im Dang...
Yi Gyeom...
What happened?
There was an accident. A big one.
Don't just say that. Tell me exactly what happened.
We got kicked out of our house in one morning.
Since the house and the bank accounts are all under your name, I can't even touch them.
How can you be so irresponsible?
- I'm sorry. - You are sorry?
Is that all?
Is that what you should say to me now?
Head Director Yim created a huge problem and then vanished the day before yesterday.
Amongst the investment funds, there was black money; that of the Russian mafia.
What?
There is an arrest warrant for me and all the board members. So—
Ji Yoon, Ji Yoon!
Ji Yoon.
- Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon! - Let go!
Don't react with your emotions.
How can I be rational in this situation?
What do you want me to do?
In an unbelievable neighborhood, I am with your mother and Eun Soo.
And even my lecturing work got—
- Let's go in and talk. - Let go!
Breaking News. In the vicinity of Baek Ryeong Island, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake has occurred.
The Meteorological Office announced that today at around 14:07, in the sea 30km south of Baek Ryeong Island,
a magnitude 4.9 earthquake had occurred.
This is, among all the earthquakes of this year that occurred around South Korea,
the largest in its magnitude.
After it happened in the sea...
How is the fog so...
Be careful driving. Go slowly.
More than ten people are injured and two are dead. A total of 75 people were...
Hey, Ji Yoon! Eun Soo's mother, please open your eyes!
Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon!
Mother...
Are you alright, My Lady?
Mother...
Are you alright, My Lady?
Where am I?
After suffering from a cold for a few days, are you seeing things?
Oh, hello.
- Oh, you've come. - Aigo, young masters are here.
Oh, young lady is here.
Oh, My Lady!
Oh, My Lady! My Lady, did you have a good trip here?
You've suffered a lot to come here.
Mom!
Oh, Yeon! How long has it been?
Grandmother.
Oh, my babies are here. Oh, you've grown so much.
Wow. Go in, go in.
You must be tired from your trip. Go on in and get some rest. (Yi from Yongin - Sa Im Dang's mother)
- Mom, Madam is a bit strange. - Huh?
Maybe she hasn't fully recovered from her bad cold.
Oh, that's right, that's right! On the way here, a good looking scholar
stared at Her Ladyship like this.
What? What does he look like?
Oh, his eyebrows are as dark as a lump of coal. I don't know. He is very handsome.
Oh, I got it. Be quiet now.
- He seems like a scholar, but maybe not. - I said I got it.
His clothes were strange, too.
He wore his hat sideways, too.
Why? What's wrong?
Black bamboo?
Oh Jook Heon? (Sa Im Dang's house before marriage. Known to have black bamboo growing in the backyard. "Oh Jook" means "black bamboo".)
There is no outer injury or cerebral hemorrhage, but a person isn't waking up! Does that makes sense?!
We've taken CT, an MRI and everything, but nothing was found. There is nothing we can do at this point except wait.
- Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon! - She needs absolute bed rest.
Please do something. How can you say we just have to wait?
- Ji Yoon. Ji Yoon. - Please calm down.
- Ji Yoon, please wake up. - You can't do this.
Eun Soo's mother. Eun Soo's mother.
Ji Gok Ga Do. (The parinter An Gyeon's other name )
This is An Gyeon's Ho (Another name for An Gyeon).
Geumgangsando!
An Gyeon's Geumgangsando!
Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon!
Ji Yoon! Open your eyes! Ji Yoon!
Over here! Over here!
Mother! This is the flower that you like. It's Chinese pink!
Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon! Please open your eyes. Ji Yoon!
Can someone help!
Eun Soo's mom! Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon!
Honey, Ji Yoon. Are you okay? Have you come to your senses? Do you know where this is?
Doctor! I'll hurry and get the doctor.
Excuse me, excuse me.
She woke up. Woke up. Where's the doctor? Doctor! Doctor!
Hey, Ji Yoon. Ji Yoon! Emergency Medical Center
Are you a doctor? Didn't you hear what was said to you? Absolute bed rest!
- What's the reason you're trying to discharge yourself? - Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!
I told you to at least get hospitalized in a hospital near home then!
- Oh, Hye Jeong. - Why haven't you picked up the phone?
There's an awesome breakthrough. Saimdang is—
By any chance, is there a story about the moving day of Oh Jook Heon estate in the book?
- What? - That was her father Sin Myeong Hwa's memorial day.
How'd you know? It's a part that just got restored.
It doesn't make sense.
What's up with you?
Inside the wall, the Mount Geumgang painting...
Yes. It's out in the beginning very directly. Have you decided to fortune tell somewhere?
Let's talk face to face. I'll go right now.
Hey, Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon!
- Taxi! - Museum?!
- I need to go to the recovery lab right now, to Hye Jeong. - What?
I think I can find evidence that the painting that Professor Min found was fake.
You almost died from a 100-car rear-end collision!
Didn't you hear that you need absolute bed rest in case of cerebral hemorrhaging? What do you mean you're going somewhere now!
I need to go. I need to go this instant!
That's enough, enough! When you're sick, you should sleep and when you're hurt, you should take a rest.
In this state what does a petty picture have to do with anything!
This could be our lifeline.
What are you thinking? I really can't understand you!
Did you ever know? You never did know.
You never even tried to know even after we got married.
You don't know what kind of shame I endured or how I persevered to become a full-time faculty member.
- You'll never know. - Do you know?
Do you know with what kind of mindset I'm living?
Is this something to say when you've abandoned your wife, child, and mother?
Hey, that's because I'm now—
There's an emergency. Executive Director Im has committed suicide.
I believe you need to come to Mirae Hospital right away.
- What. What's going on? - I'm going first. Sorry.
- Honey. Honey! - Ajusshi please hurry!
Mother!
Taxi! Please hurry! Hurry!
Oh, come inside. Hey, why's your face so pallid? You don't have any color.
- I'll tell you later. - Okay. Sit.
- Is it this? - It is.
"Dang Boo Ji Gi Il, Oh Yang Book Pyeong Chon..."
It's about the day of the memorial service.
The painting of Geumgang Mountain...
Drawn by Ji Gok Ga Do (An Gyeon's other name). It's definitely An Gyeon's Geumgang Mountain.
Exactly. I get it up to here, but there are so many Chinese characters I don't know.
Bi Ik Jo... Hey, for this, a professional researcher needs to work on it.
Translating a book, even with a team of professional researchers, takes years.
Isn't there anyone who can help you?
I've been completely ousted.
If I say that I've discovered Saimdang's journal, they'll treat me like a psych ward case.
True... Aigoo, really.
There's that expert that can analyze characters like that.
Sunbae, just this once, please.
Try requesting it of Yonsei University's Professor Hong. I'll be going.
I'll request this of you.
I'm sorry.
Myeong Sang University Help you with translation...
Yes.
I'm at the brink of a thesis deadline so...
Even if it's only this small part, can't you help me, Sunbae? Please?
- Ji Yoon. You said that you were ousted from school and fired from all of your other lectures too. - Yes...
Min Jeong Hak, that human, I know him very well.
You probably had a lot of things for which you felt wronged.
But that human is very tenacious.
Looking at what he's doing, he's planning on completely ostracizing you from this field.
It'll probably be difficult for you to be a part-time lecturer at a regional university in an isolated town.
"Ja Wal." ("Confucius said.")
- "Sa Ji Eo Do". - "Sa Ji Eo Do".
- "Yi Chi Ak Eui Ak Sik Ja, Mi Jok Yeo Eui Ya." - "Yi Chi Ak Eui Ak Sik Ja, Mi Jok Yeo Eui Ya."
If a scholar who is set on the way is ashamed of old clothes and coarse food,
he is not worth consulting about righteousness.
It's from "Analects of Confucius", Chapter 4, Li Ren.
Mother, when did you get here?
- What's going on? - The bachelor who lives upstairs set up a Seodang. (Olden day village school where classics and writing are taught)
They say every man for his own trade.
- I'll hurry and go to Eun Soo. - Yes
You could say that it all depends on the attitude we hold in our hearts.
Our class will be up to here. I'll see you next week.
- Good effort. - Good effort!
It's not much, but this. Blanch it to eat, okay? Analects
Whoa. Thank you!
- Teacher Han. - Yes?
- This. - Thank you!
- Try reading this. - What?
- Read it. - What's this?
"Dang Boo Ji Gi Il, Oh Hyang Book Pyeong Chon, Go Hyang Ji Ro, Won Yi Heom Ram Bi Gok..."
- Next line. - "Do Book Pyeong Chon Do, Boo Ah Gyo Soo, Ho Ah, Yeo Pyeong Gi Yoo Ah Si Jeol Sa."
"Mo Ji Won Jeong, Sa Ja Sang Ji Mo, Jeon Ya Gal Jeong."
When did you start learning Chinese characters?
- "Boo Saeng Ah Shin and Mo Yook Oh Shin!" - What?
"Father gave me a birth and mother raised my body."
I learned these things before the alphabet.
Since I was five, I learned the The Lesser Learning and Miscellaneous Commentaries.
When I got older, they made me memorize all the families in the family registries.
In the Andong locality, there are a lot of families like mine. Do you not know?
You can read on-sight and understand? Can you interpret right away, I'm asking.
Of course.
"On the day when we went to North Pyeong Villiage to get our stuff for moving, with Mae Chang, Seon, Hyeon Ryong and Woo, (Saimdang's children)
and I was on my way into Gangneung for the last time before moving to the capital."
Thanks to last month's torrential rain, the stone bridges were dismantled, and because the rough road became ever more difficult,
I was full of concern.
Sa Im Dang
I guess the heavens helped because the travel was easier than expected.
We cleaned up the road neatly, without any little, jagged stones.
You all worked hard. (Yim Ggeok Jeong - a famous righteous thief, a figure like Robin Hood)
By the way, Hyungnim, who is that lady, so that you take care of her way with all your might whenever she passes this road?
- She's pretty. - Pardon?
It's someone that a hyungnim that I respect loves.
- A respected hyungnim?! - That's right, kid.
Whoa. How great he must be to have our Hyungnim Ggeok Jeong under him.
Quiet! Seriously.
Let's go.
Go down, all of you.
What is our Hyungnim doing...
Prince Uiseong Yi Gyeom
It's such a pretty painting of a plum flower, but to think that it'll soon be erased, I feel regretful.
- What flower doesn't wither? - Pardon?
I'm saying there's nothing in the world that's forever.
How can you speak so coolly? You're so awesome, Orabeoni. (Old term for oppa)
I'm not your oraebi. (brother)
What are you looking at? There's even an order to cold water! (even amongst us low-class entertainers we have a hierarchy of respect to keep)
You, now, may leave.
The picture's not complete yet.
Boksoori, you grew a lot, really! (full of yourself)
Get out when I'm saying things nicely. So ugly too.
Let's keep the order.
Sir, why are you only here now?
Yi Hoo, (Yi Gyeom's First Cousin Once Removed)
It's time for us to flee from here too.
Hyungnim! Hyungnim!
What's this? What?
- Hyungnim. - Who are you?
Hey! Hey! What!
Why? Oh, my! Hey, girls! They are gay!
They are gay, girls!
- Hey! - What?
You cruel girl!
Hey!
Take that! (It's a chamber pot filled with urine)
- Hyungnim! - Let go.
Let go, come on!
Hyungnim!
- Don't come closer. Don't come. - Come on, Uncle! (In Korea, a cousin once removed is still called as uncle or "Dang Sook".)
What are you doing now? Homosexual relations?
- The great aunt said... - Go back to your home.
It seems that all relatives of Royal Family are upset because a hooligan uncle ruined a nephew. Go and console them properly.
Where are you going? Uncle. Uncle!
1540, Gangreung North Pyeong Village
- Well... Madam... - What is it?
The Lord of Heonwonjang has returned.
It seems like he'll get married.
He hasn't even walked towards North Pyeong Village for the past 20 years, but
why, out of all days, do they have to meet on the day that Her Ladyship comes?
You must make sure it does not reach Sa Im Dang's ears.
Of course, no doubt about that.
After getting married and until Young Master Seon was conceived,
to think that for three years she rejected food and drink
and even stopped talking.
Particularly, be sure to make sure everyone is careful in what they say. Do you understand?
Yes, Madam.
I heard that she's in critical condition with stomach cancer so she might pass away in a couple of days.
Has she already passed?
You've also aged a lot, Ah Beom.
A lot of time has passed.
Whether it be my knees or shoulders, not a place is right.
Aigoo, time isn't medicine but a toxin.
If you came you should come in. What are you doing?
She's still the same.
Yes, I'll come inside.
It's the birthdate of Minister Kim's daughter who will be your wife.
It's not the copulation of dogs and pigs.
Are you planning on forcing me into the newlywed bedroom?
They say if it's ten years the mountains and rivers change.
It's been 20 years.
When you were a little kid, wandering and begging for a living,
I still took you in and made you into a decent person because you were of royal lineage.
What do you mean a low-life good for nothing?
I cannot endure it any longer. If you disrupt this marriage promise
and flee again,
then I will kill myself in front of you, bastard!
Oh, my legs. Because of your voluminous body, with that size of a silver knife (women carried a silver knife to commit suicide with at all times), there's no way you'll succeed.
You. You! Wretched child!
If you're done speaking, I'll be off then.
You bastard!
Auntie. You know better than anyone that nothing will change even if you're like that.
Then what will change that you do this?
Now that I hear it. Respected Shin's daughter
became a wife of the Deoksu Yi clan and has multiple children in tow.
Why have you not been able to acknowledge it?
What would change that you continue to do this? Say something!
Should I open my coffin casket and step inside?
Or will you stand in front of the wedding venue?
Make your choice between those two!

The stamp of Bi Yik Jo. (Legendary birds which can fly as a couple only, as the male and female have only one eye and one wing each) Saimdang and Yi Gyeom were in love.
About the scholar that will become Gyeon Woo's father-in-law...
He's the guy who scolded us to think about His Majesty's safety and the order of the country.
I think I will bestow a poem upon him.
How sad, my poor people.
Gi Myo Chook Gaek... Does it mean about ragged common people in the year of Gi Myo (1519)?
- Here, take it. - Gi Myo Chook Gaek Shin Dam Jeong...
How dare you, you rebels from Gi Myo Rebellion!
It's a picture that I drew!
Come on, run!
Sa Im Dang open your eyes!
Can't you see me, Young Master?
There is someone alive.
You must find that person and kill her.
I heard that there were so many people killed at Eun Pyeong Temple.
They say it's because of a poem.
Terminate everyone who has received the poem
and bring it back.
How is it that the poem that was secretly bestowed upon you was leaked?
If you continue with this marriage, in addition to your daughter, even Prince Uiseong will be endangered.
I will marry... another guy...
A marriage? Who is going to get married?
- That can't be! - Young Master! - Sa Im Dang!
