Episode 4
The wound is deep.
Among the many wounds I've received from you, Queen Dowager, this is the least.
Looks like you're much better, to be talking with poison on your tongue.
I thought I trapped you in hell.
After my wife and son were taken, for twelve years,
I've been trapped in hell.
And, are you saying that you will save your child, but let me get threatened by a sword?
I will teach him the order of the capital.
How rotten, ridiculous and crazy that is!
I'm planning to let him know that.
I see you're still evil.
Apologize.
Do I have to do that?
My wife's life was taken away and my son...
was kicked away to the Cheonin village.
You made me and my daughter live in hell. Is that still not enough for you? You can't!
You can't do that to us anymore.
You can't take him away from me again.
We will see if I can take him or not eventually.
Come on! Take this man away and lock him up!
Aigoo.
I wish I could throw him away.
Why is he this long?
Shall we start?
Najeong
Hey! Did you really come here just because he asked you to?
It's crazy to come here at this time.
Right. I should have told him to come out first!
I should have sent the message first!
I feel like I got punched in the face. So annoying. Let's go.
What should we do?
You're late.
You're the one who came earlier.
You're bolder than I thought. You have the nerve to come here.
That's what I should be saying.
Make sure you grit your teeth.
You're confident with your fist when your handwriting is terrible?
How dare you point out my handwriting?
Your hand is trembling.
What?
Let's make this short.
You have offended Silla's sacred Najeong, capture the criminals!
Yes!
Go!
- Let go. - Let me go!!
Let go!
Tie them all up!
Tie them!
Who was arrested, where?
What do you mean Najeong? They started a fight at Najeong?
If Queen Dowager decides to kill them, we have nothing to say.
What do you mean kill? How can you say that?
Do you know where Najeong is?
It was where King Park Hyeokgeose (Founder of Silla) was born. It's a sacred place.
I, Park Young Shil, am trying to become king
because Silla originally belonged to the Park family. But he dared to have a brawl there?
He is none other than Park Yeong Sil's adopted son?
Without Ban Ryu, the Park family will have no king.
Did you forget why you came here?
Are you really going to end everything here?
It's all because of you!
This poop guy is so annoying.
D-Did you just call me poop?
If you hadn't sent that message, then we wouldn't be in this mess!
What do you mean that message? You're the one—
What is the commotion over here?!
Look here. I want to say something to my father. My father is—
You...
are still clueless, right?
If you enter here alive, you will leave here dead.
Even if you came here dead, you would leave as bones.
Don't be ill-mannered and wait quietly.
The queen dowager is in the middle of wondering what to do with you guys.
Have they always left offenders
to die without a sip of water?
Ah, such a naïve guy.
How are you sleepy and thirsty in the middle of all this?
Let's stop this in this situation, please!
Hey. Hey!
I'll need to wake him up to know what happened to Father.
He'll be okay. Your father.
Where is he is right now?
Did he not get hurt? Where is he right now?
How can I believe you? We haven't heard from him yet.
I heard you interrupted the ceremonial walk and made a scene.
How can I believe that?
I...
I won't allow anyone else to die in my place.
So,
don't cry.
You must be thirsty and you must feel like your legs will fall off.
But the bad news is we haven't even started the torture yet.
As you are here for committing high treason at Sacred Najeong.
You will be killed with a terrible punishment.
This is the queen dowager's final command.
Tie these people to the chairs!
Yes!
We have nothing to say from our mouths.
Please review our foolish children with your magnanimous tolerance.
No way. Is your son amongst those criminals?
I sincerely apologize. I have been an incompetent father.
Please spare their lives.
Even if the queen dowager kills our children, we can't say anything!
I don't understand this. How can they do that in Najeong?
How did the palace guards know?
It was as if they were waiting there for it to happen, isn't it so?
What is this?
It's a message that Ban Ryu received.
Kim Seup's son, Soo Ho, received it too.
- Then does this mean— - Our children were caught in a trap.
What is this?
The queen dowager is determined to make Hwarang, this is why...
This time, we lost.
Let us make Hwarang just as the queen dowager expects.
Gakgan. (Park Yeong Sil's title)
Firstly, after we make it, we can make it our own, am I right?
Your great fathers have requested and acquired
a way for you to live.
To avoid torture, you must instead pledge allegiance to become a Hwarang.
All you have to do is sign this and go back home. Simple, right?
Or, experience what the
next step is for yourself.
Excuse me!
So, if we write the oath, can we leave?
That's right.
Ah, you should have told us sooner. I was going to do that anyway.
Here, untie me.
If you are willing to sign, tell me right away.
Untie me too!
Me too!
Untie me as well!
Untie me too!
There is no way you aren't signing the oath just out of fear, right?
♫ Into the shimmering light ♫
Why? You don't want to write the oath?
I want to do it.
It looks like it will be fun.
Then ask them to untie you quickly.
But I'm not going to.
- Why? - Because I...
I am the grandson of Seok Hyun Jae.
Untie him too!
Hyung, what are you doing?
I'm half, so even if I write the oath, I can't become a Hwarang.
But you're telling me that you're not going to be a Hwarang even if you want to?
- Hyung.- You're the Seok family's last True Bone.
And Grandfather wouldn't want you to die here.
Untie me too!
♫ Always be mine ♫
- What do you mean, you can't? - To me...
You gave me full authority over the Hwarang.
I did it so everything worked out the way we wanted.
The arrogant officials who didn't show up during the ceremonial walk
had to lower their tails like this.
I knew you would do it.
But, how come
you are now asking me to accept any new Hwarang uncondtionally without quibbling, ?
Exactly what kind of noblemen do you have in mind?
Whoever I say, will you be able to accept them?
How about this. Bring the one that you want.
A Hwarang who doesn't question any condition.
Then I will also not question it and just accept it as it is.
What do you think?
Come on!
Please show courtesy as you receive the queen dowager's command.
Ahn Ji Gong's son, Seon Woo,
will be recruited as a Hwarang according to the queen dowager's orders.
After ten days, come to Jowonjeon in Weolseong palace at noon
to attend the Hwarang ceremony.
Now...
- will he be released? - Wait.
Let's go.
Hwarang?
You're becoming a Hwarang. What are they talking about?
I don't want to.
I have no desire to become a Hwarang under Queen Dowager Ji Soo even if I die.
If you act like this is front of Yeong Sil, I will not let you go easily.
Do you still think I'm a fearful, small child?
Hit me as much as you want.
You don't want to become a Hwarang?
You shouldn't have made trouble.
I sincerely apologize. He is very stubborn.
Are you miserable?
That is how power is.
If you cannot wield power, you can't do anything except submit.
What can you do? You have to choose.
Will you wield it?
Don't think this is miserable?
The world is different from what you imagine.
It's much dirtier.
Become a Hwarang!
Go and get power!
I'm going to make your son a Hwarang.
I'm going to raise your son as a dog for my son.
If it's Hwarang, I heard it will be the future of Silla.
Did you really think Hwarang will be responsible for Silla?
Did you think it was a place to raise talent?
The children of the wolves who are hunting for the king's life
will be locked and tamed as Hwarang.
They will be faithful dogs, who for my son's sake,
will give their lives or hunting dogs that lose their lives.
What made you this way, Queen Dowager?
Your son's life
is in my hands.
Don't forget that for a moment.
Father...
It's not a big deal.
Look your father is alright.
You were worried, weren't you?
Where is your brother?
You should leave.
The queen dowager is not sparing your life.
Hwarang is full of shackles to kill you.
So, run away right now.
I can't leave like this.
No.
Going against the queen dowager is just as reckless as dousing yourself in oil and leaping into a fire.
I know that.
I...
If I can protect you, I am fine.
I will do it, Hwarang.
It's not somewhere where you'd want to stay.
It will be worse than anything you are thinking.
I will fight.
I will endure it!
I will go and see whatever there is to the end of this wretched capital.
I will go see. I will go and break everything.
So...
I will join Hwarang.
My horse is outside.
Is Wi Hwa Gong not here yet?
What are you doing and not tying it?
What for? You could have tied it before coming inside.
Why are you being like this to me?
Can't you at least do that much for a customer? Look at the size of the store.
Ah, do you perhaps have something for me?
Like for example, a letter from the queen dowager?
Crazy... Why has he come here looking for something like that?
I can hear everything.
Ah, even his dirty ears can hear.
Ah, Pi Joo Gyoo.
Turn around.
Why?
Turn around.
You all are driving me crazy.
Just follow me for now.
Wait, why?
Anyway, Hwarang or whatever is apparently controlled by some crazy old man,
and that Hwarang isn't the queen dowager's but that old man's. That's the rumor.
I don't think the old man is that crazy.
Let go of me!
Go. Don't touch me!
You said you wanted to change it, not ruin it?
- So? - You must break it down to change it.
Do you have enough guts for that?
Well, what are you trying to say?
A country with joyous subjects and a suffering king.
The subjects do not worry about the country,
but a country where the king worries about the subjects. This is...
the type of country you want?
Because I want to live in that type of country.
Who are you?
Someone who wants Silla to really change.
This is my half truth.
Ah...
Oh my goodness!
You don't like it as much as I do.
What do I have to teach?
We can't send him off...
to be a Hwarang like that.
It's better to learn a bit more than to go not knowing anything.
That way,
somehow he will be able to endure it.
Why?
Is your brother burdensome?
No.
It's just that we are still awkward.
Okay. This is my request.
How much can you write?
I know all the letters on the jooryeonggu.
Ah, that?
What else?
Do I need to know more?
Do you know
how many letters there are in the world?
I bet it's no more than 200.
That 200.
By 200, you don't mean the number 200, do you?
Seon Woo
Name.
This is brother's—
This is your name.
Seon Woo
Here, write it.
You take this,
hold this at the bottom, and press down.
Like this.
Even if you memorized twenty characters a day, it would take you two months to learn a thousand.
I can do it on my own.
You don't know what you're doing.
Do you know where you're about to enter?
From childhood, all the noble sons who were taught
by private tutors are going to be gathered there.
- Do you want to go there and be a fool? - Fool?
So, let's just do it.
Here.
You should relax a bit. This brush is not a big deal.
Ah. Forget it. I said I can do it by myself.
What do you mean you can do it? You need to learn how to hold it, so you have practice on your own!
Now, again. And then the bottom.
♫ 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 like nothing is happening, should I make the first move? ♫
♫ There are whispers in my ear. I'm waiting for you. ♫
♫ Oh oh oh eh oh~ Oh oh oh eh oh ♫
♫ You can sing for my life ♫
♫ You shine bright in my eyes. My heart thumps when I see you ♫
♫ The confessions I couldn't make keep piling up ♫
♫ What should I do? I am still so ♫
Don't you hear a drum beating somewhere?
No.
That's weird.
I hear something ringing.
♫ Should I carefully be courageous and confess ♫
Why are you doing this to me?
♫ I love you ♫
♫ Oh, oh oh eh oh~ Oh oh oh eh oh~ ♫
Well, that's pretty good for your first time.
♫ Should I gently approach and kiss you softly ♫
♫ Until when will I be by your side ♫
Why do you keep looking at me like that?
What? When did I?
Hey,
do I look uglier from when I was younger? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
You do look different from what I thought.
What is this situation?
Who are you?
Why does this keep happening only to you?
I told you that my brother came back.
When did you? When did you?
You did not tell me he had a face and a body like that.
Don't other people envy your brother?
Writing together with his sister, such a setting.
- I'm so jealous. - That's how you saw it?
How much rice cake do I have to give you to become part of your family?
The fact that you're my friend is so
much like rice cake. (means it's not very good)
But where did your brother go?
Oh, you're right.
There's more to teach him.
What do you mean by teach? Teach what?
That's right. You have a horse at your house, right?
Seon
Seon Woo
They say this is your name.
Is it okay if I use your name?
Ahem. Over there.
You haven't ridden a horse, have you?
If you see the faces of those who said they'd never join Hwarang,
it must be fun.
Soo Ho, Ban Ryu probably isn't coming, right?
He's here.
Wow, this is a disappointment.
You said you don't want to become a Hwarang.
But you must have ended up writing the oath since you're here.
I think I told you.
That I have no desire to be a dog for the queen dowager.
Ah, then did your father write it?
Which father? The Gakgan father? Or the other father?
Shall we complete the match we couldn't the other day?
Let's do it today. How does soccer sound?
Do you think we can do it with just soccer?
Oh! You want to do that?
Hey, refuse. We always lose.
Let's do it!
Get more people. You have two fewer than us. Do you think you will be a match for us?
I can just find people to make it even.
Wait right here. If you go anywhere, you're dead!
Aigoo. I said to make your back straight.
Don't lean forward like this. I said lift it like this. Lift it.
Oh, my. I said make your back straight.
Horses can tell right away if the rider is scared.
So they get more nervous.
You need to believe in him so he can believe in you.
How can a grown man have that much fear?
Now, let's go.
Look, like this. Slowly.
Now, if you want to stop, hold the reigns lower and pull like this.
If you want to stop a running horse, you lean back and say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa."
But for now, you won't have instances where you have to stop a running horse. Let's go!
Whoa! See, it works.
Oh! It works!
What is this? You know how to laugh.
- Whoa, whoa. - You become serious after I mentioned that.
Let's go!
Then, should we slowly start heading out?
Let's go.
Oh, my!
What is he doing, that guy?
Why are there so few useless noblemen today?
I need to make that smile disappear off that jerk's face.
Ban Ryu originally had no smile.
It's a challenge we've never won. Do we have to do it?
Over there.
It's fast!
Are you okay?
He was so fast! I thought I was going to die!
That bastard, I will never ride with him again.
It's okay. It's okay.
Don't hide and come out, you pathetic bastard!
Why is he...
Why is he with her?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a relief that you're safe.
It's a bit awkward to be saying this now, but
do you want to join a match with us?
Hey, we're not weird people. We're Hwarang.
Who made the statement that a person killing another person isn't a crime?
Was it you?
Have we met each other somewhere before?
You guys are Hwarang?
If not, whatever. Let's do it, the game.
He'll do it!
Of course, he has to do it.
- Are you crazy? - They said they're Hwarang. This is a good opportunity.
What about him?
I'll do it. If he agrees.
But why is that pervert not leaving?
But... What kind of game is it?
They are the guys from that place.
Alright.
Nice, let's see how it goes.
Do well!
Where would you find a class like this? It's great if you use this opportunity to get along with them. Isn't that right?
I don't have those kinds of thoughts.
The capital is all about making connections.
I know those young noblemen and they're all sons of well-off households.
If you get along with them, it will benefit you.
I don't expect you to score a lot of points.
Just don't interfere too much. Do the best you can. You can do that, right?
What about you?
Are you really okay with this?
Me? Well, I'm okay.
It's enough then.
What in the world are you?
The young noblemen are going to have a match! It's not just soccer.
It's going to be that! That!
The noblemen are going to have a match! It's not just football! It's going to be that! That!
Let's go!
Beautiful football?
Let's go!
Hurry and come! Hurry!
If it's football, it must be just football. Why are they acting like that?
It's not just a football game. It's a very hot football game.
Beautiful football.
Beautiful, Mi. Technique, Sik. A beautifully created match, so it's called
Beautiful football!
Ban Ryu!
Red
Blue
I know you were in a rush, but don't you think you recruited carelessly?
He doesn't seem to understand what this match is about.
Don't worry because he knows how to use his body.
There isn't much to it. You just win the match by scoring the ball.
If you get a hold of the ball, just pass it to me. Can you do it?
Run!
What the hell?
Ah, what the hell?
Over here!
But that was incorrect information.
It's not just beautiful young noblemen doing soccer.
Mi, meaning no. Sik, meaning rules.
Doing it without both structure and rules, it is no-holds-barred football.
In other words, it's a fight until the end.
Ban Ryu!
Block him!
Ban Ryu!1 point
How dare you...?
Are you okay? If you stand waiting like that, you will end up falling down.
It is not enough to say you will withstand.
You need to calculate how strong the opponent is and back off.
Aren't there rules for this?
Yeah. The rule is to just win.
Let's do it that way then.
I kinda like you!
Let's go!
How handsome!
Huh?
Goal!
You are all dead!

Is he totally dumb?
Not this side, this one! This side!
You scored in our goal!
It was that side?
Sheesh.
1 point
Hooray!
2 points
See? What did I tell you?! He's different!
What are you doing?
He's a total monster.
We can't ever lose this one.
Let's go.
Hey, hey!
You surprised me.
"Hey"?
Have you ever even held a ball before?
You should have let me know if you like these things.
It's not like that.
I did make an assumption,
but you're worse than I thought, so I was the surprised one as you said.
Shut your mouth.
What? Do you have a plan?
Don't smile. You annoy me.
What the -
What? What's with you?
What are you doing? You're on the same team!
You bastard!
Aish!

I am thankful for earlier, for saving me.
But you're not close friends with that young nobleman earlier, are you?
Ah, seriously. He didn't seem like a good person.
No, at the Okta Shop. Oh not that, we just slept—
You're crazy. Keep your mouth shut.

You're hurt.
I'm alright though.

I told you to hurry up!
We'll be late at this rate.
No way. I came out early. How can I be late?
Let's see.
Wait a moment.
Aigo. What can we do?
I like this too.
Th-Then take it.
Are you Ahn Ji Gong's daughter?
How do you know me?
Pull like this...
Hwarang?
What is this?
Is he going to the ceremony right now, wearing that bracelet like that?
How can a Cheonin wear silk like this?
Looks like you've settled well in the capital.
Settle the issue with me. Let her go.
Wow, it's the first time I've seen Dog-Bird Gong being this scared.
I think it's because of that girl.
I said let her go.
Stay there.
He was loitering around outside.
That girl's life is on the line based on what you do.
If you touch one strand of her hair,
you're dead.
Let's see. Before I die,
aren't you going to die first?
No, right now!
If you want to kill me, kill me. But if she get's hurt before that,
you'll die in my hands.
♫ A slight sprinkle is falling, black tears cover me ♫
♫ In my two red eyes, I boxed you up ♫

Aren't you nervous about keeping those kids gathered in one place?
Does it matter if they kill each other? If they don't kill each other now,
they'll do it later anyway.
How can you do this to me?
I will be the one to decide when I reveal myself to the world,
Mother.
This time shouldn't we cut that young and weak king's throat?
I'm scared because of you, that I might not be able to protect you.
You can rely on me...
What should we do about the other guy?
Rely on me since you're alone now.
