Fifteen hundred years ago, for 12 years Jin Heung has been
the uneasy ruler of Silla, the smallest and weakest of the Three Kingdoms.
The young Jin Heung, whose life was threatened, has been in exile without revealing his identity.
The queen mother, who has been the regent, in order to enhance her royal authority
would like to gather the flower of Silla manhood for Silla's future.
As a bribe to me who am busy. Can't you just go? Mangmang (Bark Bark) Village In the twelfth year of Jin Heung's reign
There can't be two heads in one village.
You do it. Head.
- What is this funny business? - It's not funny business, I'm nervous, punk.
If I make trouble one more time the old man said to go ahead and kill me.
Isn't that great? I don't have to beat you up...
And the head or whatever, you can do it.
So, go.
While your mother threw you away, I heard she didn't even want to name you?
Then you should live as if dead. Why do you keep bugging me?
I'll become relaxed if I keep this up.
Hey, hey, hey. He took it out. ~ Episode 1 ~
- What is that? A Jooryeongoo. (A 14 sided die used to determine a drinking penalty during the Silla dynasty).
He makes a choice with that.
This person's nose. (Reading the Chinese character on the die.)
Hit the nose.
You guys... are lucky today.
- Hey, Seon Bang, Seon Bang! ("Hit first" in Korean)- Hey!
Did I hit him? I did, huh?
You did!
- What the heck?- Hey!
Don't touch him. Fight with me, huh?
Hey!
Aish!
You little!
Really...!
I'm sorry! I was wrong!
Guys...
You guys,
what are you doing?
You should have woken up earlier. I got hit already.
Are you hurt a lot?
Yeah, so don't kill me.
You jerks.
Run.
R-U-N!
He's crazy!
Here!
Whatcha gonna do now?!
Come at us! Try it!
Come at us!
Hey, but what was his nickname?
- Dog-bird-gong. - Why?
He's like a dog.
Also like a bird.
This Dog-Bird.
Queen Ji So (mother of King Jin Heung)
Let's have an important talk.
How can the prior king's close friend
be locked up here?
I didn't like the deceased majesty at the end.
Because I had sexual relations with his concubine,
they all said I had played around.
You must not like this sacred kingdom.
This is the country where a mother kicked out her own son.
A mother who couldn't get rid of her greed even after being regent for ten years.
So, I have no choice but to not like it.
- Have you thought about it? - I have heard
Queen Dowager had a keen intellect. Suppose that's so, that's all.
But I think those rumors were false.
I'm a very exhausted person.
Why do you keep saying the same thing?
Yes, what? What? What will you do?
I plan to make a group of guards that will give up their lives for the king.
A group of guards. Sounds good.
But all the soldiers are being used by officials.
Who else would hold weapons and shoot arrows for the king?
Will you get them from Baekje dynasty? Or Goguryeo dynasty?
I'm planning to recruit the sons of the officials.
Please teach them.
Instead of their parents and families, they need to
become loyal to the king and the country.
Do you think I will do that?
Did you not want me to give up my regency?
If you achieve this work...
I will step down cleanly.
Aish.
What did I tell you? I used to live in the capital.
But can you smile in moments like these?
If I can get to the capital, I think I will be able to find it with this.
So no matter what, we're going over there. Okay?
And don't chicken out again.
If a villager like me goes over there, they'll be shot by arrows and die from being stabbed by spears.
A-A-And get their n-neck sliced.
Then why don't you just not go?
But it's my home.
It's my hometown where my father, mother and even my older sister lived together.
I'll find my father with this,
and I will find out my identity too.
I bet you won't find anything.
People usually find that that stuff with these things.
You don't even know anything.
But pointlessly...
Will you be okay because of me?
You're going to the city gate alone; it's going to take you several days.
And I wanted to go to this place, so I will go.
All people are the same. Because I'm Cheonin (peasant, lowest rank in Silla society), does it make sense saying I can't go?
Dog-Bird.
Why are you so fearless?
He who has a lot is the one with fear.
There's nothing I'm scared of.
Sang Nap!
- Huh? - It's dead!
Hey, Sang Nap!
Hey... It looks like they're not here yet.
Let's go.
It's not here.
Oh, my.
Whoa...
Here. Take this.
When you don't know when or where you'll fall.
You almost killed me!
It's your fate to live here quietly and die.
How many times have I told you?
Wait. That guy—
You fool.
Why do you think your mother abandoned you here?
Your jokes—your jokes are too much.
There isn't anyone in the world who would welcome you.
That's why you don't even have names.
Ah, stop talking about what happened ten years ago!
Stop it! Do you really want to see me dead?
If there isn't enough gold to pay, don't you know the villagers are going to give you merry hell?
I do. But I also had a reason to—
Hypocritical kids hanging on and begging?
Ah, seriously!
It's a message from Pa Oh.
Tomorrow evening in the hour of the ghosts (2 am) he will pass through the East Gate.
Without my order, he climbs out of this place?
I will bring him back quietly.
Is that guy really the king?
I never knew I would be able to see him like this even in my dreams.
His Majesty's manliness is truly impressive.
Ah scary, that scared me.
Dog-Bird!
Hey! What's wrong? Did you see something?
No.
Are you sure we only have this?
You're not doing this to me on purpose, right?
Shut your mouth and come up quickly.
Hurry.
Careful. Careful.
We did it.
Breathe. Breathe.
- Breathe and then take a look. - Why?
Be quiet! Be quiet!
Quiet! Be quiet!
Are those real heads?
Are we also going to become like that?
Hush! Hush!
Hey! Hey!
You said seeing your sister is your wish. Do you not want to see her?
I-I have to see her.
Then don't get scared and let's just look forward and go. What's the problem?
There is no problem.
I'm okay. Are you okay?
- Let's go. - Let's go!
Let's go. Hurry in.
Don't look. Yes, don't look.
Don't look.
Don't look!
- Hurry. - Hey.
Hurry.
How does it look?
Let's see.
Turn around.
Hey! You look so different!
Hey, being in the capital is not a big deal. We freaked out for nothing, right?
In the end, it's exactly the same.
We look even better.
There was a world like this.
What do we do now?
What do you mean? You said we'd find your father and sister with that necklace.
Was it me?
So embarrassing.
Are you hungry?
People don't die so easily.
So, what happened?
The woman who survived death...
is really marked precisely with a mole, right here.
Mole?
And then?
No one could recognize her.
How could that be?
If you haven't done it, don't say it. This mole...really.
If you look at it like this...
A person's face can change.
Faces change.
And so? Did that woman kill that man?
Deep at night, having the boy who was going to kill her pinned to the ground,
staring at him, she said to him.
Why did you meet me just to hurt me?
I— Do I love you?
Inside me, there's you.
Were you possibly asleep?
Me?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Where did the woman telling the story earlier go?
No. Where can I meet her?
Ah. What am I going to do? I feel so sorry. One more round?
Would we be able to find someone using this?
It's a rare thing. So if you go to Daiso or Okta shops
you might be able to meet someone who knows where it's from.
DaiI what? Tagook?
- What's that? - You're not from here, huh?
Where are you from?
I'm— I'm from around here!
I'm a person from this kingdom!
Sang!
I put everything on the line.
Ta-da.
It's Sang. Aigoo.
Aigoo.
Wait. Just one more time. Please.
One more time!
What are you going to put on the line this time?
How about your neck?
Why, why, why?
In Capital City, there are some people who want other's necks.
Well, her neck is fine too.
Bet with me.
Do...do you have anything to bet?
I thought you wanted heads.
This is what I'm betting.
Crazy guy.
It's one round, will you be okay?
Fine.
If you win, all that I've got today, I'll leave it all.
I don't want that, though. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
If I win, you lay down your neck too.
It's one round, will you be okay?
Sang!
Hey, you suicidal idiot.
Do wish to die so badly?
Did you know?
If a dog is scared, he barks for a long time.
Stop barking and shall we reveal it?
Who exactly are you?
Me?
Dog-Bird.
Are you perhaps...
Dog-Bird...
Jerk from Mang Mang Village! (Barking sounds)
- How did you end up here? - What are you doing?
Hurry and leave. You all heard, right?
What you're betting is your head.
If you give up now, I will let you go nicely.
No way.
Life is about either living or dying, anyway.
We don't know the winner. Why are you stopping me?
Are you saying you cheated?
If you're confident, then open it!
Hey, is this a scam?
After him!
Catch him!
- Go that way. - Will you be okay?
Let's meet at the closest inn near the gate.
Go quickly!
Hey, I'm here. I'm going this way.
Catch him!!
Catch him!
He disappeared like a ghost.
Dog-Bird.
Catch him! No matter what, catch him!
Table 3, one Chrysanthemum tea and one omija (five taste tea).
What's wrong with him?
Does he have a cramp in his finger?
Do I have to go over there?
What is the matter?
Is this your shop?
It is.
Looking in front, there is a place similar to a whore house.
Ah, that's one of our association.
For direct transaction. The general merchandise shop right next to it is our headquarters.
This place is a branch.
Your face reading reads "poor," but
you were able to grow such a business? Your skills are really good.
Are you praising or cursing me?
Why?
Why are you doing this?
I'm looking for something very special.
By special you mean...
That?
What is your preference?
Not a woman.
Then?
A young man.
A youthful and beautiful man would do.
This is Daiso, with all the trendy things in Silla.
If someone is doing well in their own way, they will stop by here for sure.
Hold on. How did you think of that?
What do you call this?
Since it's made of Al (gem), you can call it Alba.
Alba because it's made of Al.
So are you saying that you want the delayed payment?
I'm also in a bad situation. Please give it to me today.
Here is your payment.
This—
This is my payment after three months?
You've been taking and drinking everything anyway.
- Whether you ate it or sold it. - I never did anything like that.
Let's go to Si-Jun to ask right and wrong.(Si-Jun is the office which controls the marketplace)
Si-Jun?
Because I've been calling you "my lady," you really think you're one.
Even though your father is the most loyal man in the country,
if your mother is a Cheonin, there is no difference between you and me.
Where did this thieving girl come from?
Thief?
I gave you that so get out quickly.
Get out quickly!
It is what you caused.
What do you think you're doing?
Are you crazy?
Hey! Do you know how much this is? How much do you want?
This is worth a lot.
The payments from now on,
I'll keep it in my stomach.
Consuming liquor jars one by one per month.
Three jars.
Lady, buy some rice cake.
How can he see me as a thief?
Man, why is the ground so close to me since earlier?
Go away.
Aigo, you there! Stop! Those bastards!
Didn't I tell you to stop stealing? I told you to stop!
Shoe...
Shoe, shoe!
Please get my shoe for me. I can't get up.
Over there. Over there.
Let go.
I only have one pair of shoes.
Why can't you? It's not a hard task.
How cruel! Why doesn't he pick it for me?
My shoe...
Move! Move!
♫ I think of you any moment. It gets bigger and bigger ♫
♫ You're the reason I smile, it's only you all day ♫
♫ You're acting as nothing is happening, should I make the first move? ♫
Is this why you shouldn't drink on an empty stomach? (It can cause hallucinations.)
- Are you okay? - You're very good looking.
Totally.
Well, if you're not okay I can't help either.
You could have picked up my shoe. Not kind.
Ah, that guy.
What's wrong with her?
It's done. It's done.
It's healed well. We might have been in trouble if the wound had been deeper.
A homeless guy, like me... It's a routine to get beaten up.
You always look after me like this.
And the child from last time?
It's not him this time either.
He's younger than your child, and never lived in the capital city.
Really? I see.
Anyway, thank you for your concern.
You will find him. You've looked everywhere these past ten years.
He will soon appear.
He has to.
King Jin Heung, Sam Maek Jong - King of the 24th generation of Silla
Why did you come here?
27th years of King Beop Heung's reign - 11 years ago
Your Highness, His Majesty has passed away.
We have to protect the new country whatever it takes.
- Hurry and call Pa Oh! - Yes.
Please protect the queen dowager. She has to survive.
You haven't changed one bit.
I asked why you are here? Did you come here because you did not trust me?
Is it strange that I am here? It should be strange that I am not here.
There are still a lot of people who are after your life.
We can't trust any of our soldiers or eunuchs in the palace.
- Do you not know the situation? - How can I not know?
To live out here so freely
is all thanks to you.
But do you know these words?
Even if I catch ten thieves out in the mountains, I can't even catch the one thief that is in my heart.
It seems like I've spent a lot of time around the wrong people, and I'm now suspecting a lot of people.
Are you afraid I will steal your throne?
Do you not trust me?
What is so important about trusting or not?
I am just checking to see if my throne is doing well.
I merely came to just to check on that.
If I didn't do this, I felt I would have forgotten who I was.
You weak bastard.
I decide when you re-enter this world.
Until then, live as if you are a dead mouse.
So, last night the doors to the palace opened?
There was no guard on duty between 1 and 3 am.
And during that time, someone went into the palace.
Is it someone Queen Ji So brought? I think I know.
Are you saying Sam Maek Dong was here?
Is it possible it was something else? What should we do?
I will ask the guards to look for an assassin.
Let's see whose head will be cut.
Come quickly.
Why is he taking so long?
Are you a thief?
If you're not a thief, are you an assassin?
You have no experience in using a knife.
Sheesh. Your knife blade is all worn out.
You have to drink because you're too scared to kill someone.
I see. How much is my life worth?
Who knows? I can pay you more than what it's worth!
They said that if I killed someone they'd give me three bags of rice!
Three bags of rice?
They'll give you three bags of rice? Did you hear that, Pa Oh?
Are you okay, Your Majesty?
He was an ignorant lad who knew nothing. Did you really have to kill him?
He saw your face.
What kind of man attempts to kill the king for three bags of rice?
It was the queen dowager's command.
Queen Dowager's command?
Then it can't be helped.
This city is hers.
Your Majesty.
The fugitive is me.
I-I-I think I just saw the king.
What?
His Majesty. I said that's exactly what I heard.
In the capital, it's just the king.
He sleeps just anywhere.
Why would the king leave his palace and sleep in a place like this? You're frustrating me.
Hey! Ahh, I am telling you the truth.
He looks like, what should I say...?
He looks like a very ordinary king.
Hey! Hey!
The thing you heard was probably not, "Your Majesty"
but, "Should I hit you?" (They sound similar in Korean.)
You need a beating.
I'm telling you it's the truth!
Forget it. Give me the necklace.
- Why? - They might chase us again. You're so tall, you stand out too much. I'll find out more about the necklace.
And what about me?
When the sun sets, meet me in front of that store.
Just as I figured, this is it.
Sh-shoe. Please get my shoe. You are handsome.
Very...
Oh really?!
Ah, that! That's my necklace.
That is my necklace.
Excuse me!
I have to ask her about the necklace.
It's Ban Ryu!
It's Soo Ho!
I really don't want to see him.
Whenever I see him, I can feel the rice cake soup from three years ago, rising.
Looking at them side by side, Soo Ho is really better looking.
Of course. Of course! Why is that even a competition?
When all it said and done our Ban Ryu is the best of the true bone (royalty).
- Right, right. - The highest among the high. - Right.
Ban Ryu is the best.
That's annoying.
Now it's the time you ladies have all been waiting for.
Sewing time!
Miss, please start sewing.
Yes. Shall I pick up my needle?
Because of the mother's jealousy, she couldn't see clearly, and her heart was already on fire.
While swallowing the true desire within them,
they decided to spend a hot time together in a secret place.
Oh, my.
A long period of time, in Najeong. (Cf. her name in Reply 1994).
Najeong where Bak Hyeokgeose (the founder of Silla) was born?
This is such a surprising plot twist. I can't believe they are using that sacred place like this.
Later, I need to have some alcohol poured by her.
Her stories are great,
and I saw that her appearance is great too.
Let's have one glass.
Ah we are out of alcohol. I'll go get some more.
Kang Seong, you go.
Ban Ryu, why are you—
What was the color of your father's uniform?
It must be dark pink since he's Achan.(Achan is 6th out of 17 government job ranks in Silla.)
My God-father is Gakgan. (1st of 17) My father is Japchan ( 3rd of 17).
The fathers of Gi Bo and Sin Hwi are Daehachan (5th of 17) and Pajinchan (4th of 17).
Of course, he wore the violet uniform.
Just because we hang out together, how can you mistake that we are the same True Bone? (The highest rank, right under the king's immediate family)
Have you ever seen something like this?
I have definitely seen that somewhere before.
Where have I seen this?
Why don't you think a little harder like a mature adult?
This guy is either very high class or very low class.
It's hard to tell. I'm not sure.
Is it not?
He's definitely ugly. That's why he's wearing that.
If you leave that with me, I can find out for you.
Or just leave it here and go.
I lost.
It's not mine. It's my friend's, and his life depends on it, so I can't just leave it and go.
So look it over, and if someone who knows this item appears...
While they breathed in the cold air,
in the hot atmosphere, their hearts were calming down.
Thump thump, thump thump.
I think that is my necklace.
- Hey...- Out the way!
This...
What are you?
I just asked what kind of guy are you?
You're not from here, are you?
Show me your authorization.
You don't want to reveal your identity?
You do not know where you are, do you?
Let go.
My mood was already crappy.
It worked out.
It felt like a thousand years of waiting.
It is so tempting to just jump in.
They barely resisted,
and resisted.
As soon as he met her, he led Na Jeong into the woods
and pushed her against the pine tree, with just his hands!
And that's how...
Because of you...
I'm going to burn up!
The two couldn't restrain themselves and wanted each other's lips.
Finally, without hesitating...
Rip!
Do you know where this is?
You!
Who is doing this at this crucial moment?
It was you? Ban Ryu's trash?
What are you doing right now?
Kang Seong, what is going on?
I can't believe this.
This is the second time I've seen you today.
If you are out of luck, you should have asked for God's blessing at least.
Don't mess with me. Unless you want to go back home with that face.
I ought to...
Prince Soo Ho and Prince Ban Ryu are about to have another fight.
Really? Then I'll have to go watch!
There's no way we can miss this fight.
What did I do to make you close your eyes?
Wh-who are you?
Whoever I am. Is the answer to that question important?
Ah, that's a shame.
It's only been four days.
What... What has?
So, it might be best to open your eyes.
Wh-why are you doing this?
Why, you ask?
Because it's dim here.
And no one is here.
And I like you too.
How does the next part go?
Ban Ryu, He doesn't even have an entrance pass!
It's not a crime to beat up Cheonin without a transit pass in the capital.(Cheonin was the lowest rank of Silla society)
So it's okay to kill him, right?
You ignored strict Silla Bone Rank System. ( The system was based on how closely related you were to the king.)
And you dare crawl into a place like this?
People like you are no different from bugs.
Farewell.
Who did that?
What's with that bamboo hat?
I think life is all about luck.
But today,
you are not lucky.
You, what are you?
Bothersome bastard.
I asked you who you are!
There's nothing you need to know.
Are you okay?
♫ Little by little, little by little ♫ Yeah.
♫ Like a withering flower ♫
I am not okay.
Arrogant bastard!
Oh, that was good!
If killing a Cheonin who sneaked into the capital is your law,
my law is to beat up the royals who cross this line.
If you want to cut him, cross the line to do so. I will fight you.
♫ Don't run away. Don't leave me alone ♫
♫ You who are turning away turn your feet toward me ♫
♫ I request and want you, you are everything in my life ♫
♫ Please take me on the spreading beam of light ♫
♫ Until the end of the world ♫
Hwarang ~ Preview ~
Don't hide. Come out, you pathetic bastard!
There isn't anything you people won't do.
- A door that can't be entered? - Do you think there is even such a thing?
Anyway, that was a good job.
Who is that? Why is he in front of our house?
I asked who you are and where you got these clothes!
The subjects are not concerned about the country. The country is concerned for the subjects.
This country desires that way now?
New talent for this country.
Hwarang? Young men who are as lovely as flowers.
In this land, receive respect and admiration as one heart.
Lovely and special beings.
Who are you? I'm asking, who are you?
I'm a hwarang.
