Episode 8
Ah... I miss the scent of my mother.
On days like these, my mom would pat my head.
The blowing of the wind and the singing of birds were my lullaby.
Why? Did you not like mom's lullaby?
Orabeoni...
Our mom could not sing a lullaby.
Because she was mute.
♫When you offer me tears, what can I do?♫
♬ I'm afraid of being suspended a long time somewhere in memory♬
- Then—- Ah!
You forgot everything, huh?
Of course, even for me I was too young to remember.
Since our father told me about it, I know so.
♬ So I can't let it go ♬
What are you doing, Seon Woo? Shouldn't you go back before you get caught?
You already got a fail too.
♬ Although you and I became tears for each other♬
♬ After time passed on a bright day♬
♬ When we just held each other and it was just like a dream♬
♬ I remember that time then.♬
They promised to meet at 2-5 in the morning, but they didn't show up.
Don't get too close to them. I can't sleep well
when I think of you living with such low-level punks at the school.
Then what is my level?
You know that I'm still nothing at the moment.
What do you mean you're nothing? How can you say this?
King, you are the center of this kingdom. I know this and the heavens know.
And Your Majesty also know that.
This is just aging thing to get watery eyes.
Come to think of it, they often treated me incorrectly.
I will write all of those names and I will punish them in all sorts of ways such as
tearing them into pieces and boiling them in a hot pot?
-You mean Peang Hyung?-Yes. That's how it called!
I will let them be punished with that.
Got it?
The Guard Pa Oh, here takes your sacred royal order.
Why are you coming just now?
Do you know how long I've been waiting here?
I'm not someone you should make wait so long.
What is it?
Shouldn't you have a better expression after attending your mom's memorial?
Our mom couldn't sing a lullaby.
Because she couldn't speak.
Is it possible to forget
all of your childhood memories of your mother?
For example, if your mother were a mute or not.
I'm envious.
The memories I want to forget, but can't are memories of my mother.
Who's the dummy who forgot these kind of important things?
Me.
You were all here.
What is that?
I know it looks like a weird situation, but I'll tell you once we go inside.
Hey. Why are you leaving this to me?!
Hey!
- Take him.- Hold him!
Wake up!
Aigoo, I said it's tilting.
We just got to the 15th. With this slow speed,
when are we going to get to the 100th?
At one point, you guys fought each other to death.
You are all a bit closer to each other now.
Traitors. This...
Hey!
Hold onto it well.
-Didn't you say "The end wine?"-It is a sort of end.
The end of you and me.
Hey... Is there anyone who can tell me what happened to me last night?
Do it properly, properly!
So...this is 16th.
No way. He isn't going to make us do all up to 100th times?
According to my calculations,
if we keep going just 20 more times, our legs will give out. And if we do it 100 times,
we'll die...
I know right?
But why did Ban Ryu do that to Soo Ho's sister?
What did Ban Ryu do?
He touched them. Soo Ho sister's breasts.
He's a psycho. Isn't he crazy?
Ah, it's hot.
What the...!
I'm seriously going crazy!
Because of that so called "the end wine", I had experienced the end of my endurance.
You all deserve "Paeng Hyung." (punishment of boiling one in a pot)
That's weird. I can't remember yesterday. Why?
My memory is vague but I feel like something bad happened...
Dunno.
You dropped this.
It's a unique symbol. Does it have a meaning?
You don't need to know because it's not even mine.
Then you can give it to me. It's a hobby of mine to collect these things.
Sell it. I will pay whatever you want.
It's not something I'm selling. It's something I need to get paid back for.
That's a shame. This is just my style.
You saying you liked my sister...
Were you sincere?
- I'm asking if you were sincere?- If I was, what will you do?
Soo Ho and Ban Ryu are considered to be the worst enemies each other.
They'll end up fighting because of his younger sister. Someone has to die in order for this to end.
Ban Ryu deserves to die for what he did.
If he would've done it to me I would've just...
Here.
What the heck are you doing?
If you don't want it, then do whatever.
What's wrong with them?
They looked quite uneasy.
Not sure, I don-don't really know.
Did I lose my memory and became sensitive?
Hey! Just remember this.
Everything... is a misunderstanding.
What kind of bullsh*t are you saying?
Hey. Hey!
Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Why did you come here?
Are you looking for trouble?
Please be sure to give it to Ban Ryu.
But... are you really... over there...
Someone's life is on the line.
Make sure you give to him!
My head hurts so much, but why?
Why are you doing this to me?
Hey! Come out!
Omo!
Who was that person?
This is for me?
Yes.
My brother, Soo Ho, is ignorant and reckless
different from his nice and cool appearance.
His strength is the only thing to be proud of.
But I don't have the confidence to persuade him with a letter.
So please, survive.
I will explain everything to my brother when he comes out of the Hwarang school.
I will definitely clarify that
you're not the one who touched me, but instead it was me.
What are you doing here?
Because the laundry is piled up.
What? Why are you staring?
Does it matter if I look at you?
I want to look at my brother's face. Can't I do that?
If a young child forgets losing his path, he'll even forget his own name.
So the fact that you didn't remember that mother couldn't speak
could be forgettable.
It's just...like that.
♬ Don't look at me with sad eyes ♬
♬ Your aching heart displays everything♬
♬ If you keep doing that you will just leave me♬
♬ When you offer me tears, what can I do?♬
♬ I'm afraid of being suspended a long time somewhere in memory♬
You should go and be careful of strangers ♬ I'm afraid the more I try to wipe it out, the more I will be left yearning♬
And travel on busier streets. ♬ So I can't let it go ♬
♬ Although you and I became tears for each other♬
♬ After time passed on a bright day♬
♬ when we just held each other and it was just like a dream♬
♬ I remember that time then.♬
Oh my! You scared me!
- Who?- Me!
There's no news about someone dying inside, right?
Aigoo, what are you talking about?
I'm asking if my brother didn't kill Ban Ryu yet.
No, not yet.
That's a relief.
Hey,
do you want to have a drink?
Sure.
How long have we known each other?
It's been about 12 years?
When I was getting bullied by the neighborhood kids because my brother was so good looking,
you still played with me.
And when I got bullied as a half even without a mom,
you played with me too.
Cheers!
I...
like my brother.
I like your brother too.
I envy you.
You won't say something like that once he puts you in a headlock, right?
Hey. Why are you like this?
I wish my brother could be my real brother,
but I also wish he wasn't.
What are you talking about?
The more I wait, the only person getting stronger is you.
I will become stronger as a Hwarang, Mother.
Your Highness! I will call a doctor.
No. Ahn Ji Gong.
Get Ahn Ji Gong.
Alright.
[Doctor]
You must come to the palace.
I'm sorry, but I am waiting for a patient.
I am not here to ask you for a favor.
You must go.
I'm thinking of killing Ji So (Queen Dowager).
Extremely slowly.
What are you surprised for? That's nothing new.
All the soldiers working for her are all my people anyway.
You don't have to hurry.
I need to slowly kill her without anyone noticing
so that nobody will be against me for electing the next king.
What is the reason for you telling me this?
I just told you.
I think we have the same point of view.
It's different from last time.
It is slowly getting worse.
Poison?
Do you have any symptoms in your chest area?
Sometimes.
Is it this sickness a death penalty for all the sins I have done to you?
For the sin for separating your wife and son from you.
But you found your son, didn't you?
It's a temporary sickness from scattered energy in your body. Keep your body and mind at peace.
Is it really not a severe disease?
If you don't believe me, call a palace practitioner to confirm it.
I don't believe anyone in the palace, except you.
I think of the past.
Back when we were sure we would get married.
When we ran around in the field like children under the clear, blue sky.
The gaze you gave just for me.
Do you still hate me that much?
If I said I still want you, would you be able to come back to me?
What are you doing?
Is this the tea Her Highness drinks?
That's right, but why are you doing this?
Was the tea not made correctly?
No. There's nothing wrong with it.
It's nothing.
Why is a successful merchant in the capital like you working with Hwarang?
Isn't it for an investment? A merchant like me can't predict the future.
It's not easy to have an opportunity to build close relationships with the future members of the royal council.
As for Seon Woo, the son of Ahn Ji Gong. please tell us everything about him.
But about him...why?
Just do it as you are told. How dare you ask for a reason?
I was just curious about that Hwarang.
Ah, well if you're talking about Dog-Bird,
He seems to be ignorant, reckless, and smart in a way and not so.
Anyway, he's different from the noblemen who were raised royally in the capital.
Dog-Bird?
It means he's like a dog and a bird. It's a nickname he was given when he was a Cheonin.
Anyway, you can say he's unique and he's not normal.
Anyhow, he is not like his narrow-minded father.
I saw this and picked it up. You can use it.
Huh? What is this? It's a needle container. But why?
Why do you think so?
Think about it.
Why is he like this? Does he want me to do acupuncture on him for free?
They are gold needles! These are nice.
Where have you been buying all?
What do you mean? What?
Ah, seriously.
Wait, wait.
Why is he like this?
This is from the West! What taste!
Wow! It's from Baekje! (One of the Three Kingdoms, Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo)
Wow! Doesn't it come from the West Sea?
I'm feeling this texture for the first time!
Wait, what is this?
I am not sure how to call it right, but maybe a bait? A bait to lure your heart, isn't that it?
Who would make the clinic like this? It's a burden!
You have to think about the person's good deed. Do you know how much all this costs?
How much is it? Is it worth a lot of silver?
Not silver. It probably cost gold, and a lot of it.
Huh? Then give it to me!
Aish! What kind of crazy person did this unnecessary thing?!
You said she would like it.
That's weird. I thought this was the best way to impress a girl. Maybe she has poor taste in interior decor?
I ought to...Go! I don't want to see you.
Who? Do you mean me?
Hey.
Are you the one who did this unnecessary thing?
It cost too much gold to call it unnecessary.
If you have too much gold, donate it to the hungry people. There are a lot of those in the capital.
Or give rice cakes away to the hungry kids.
Why am I doing this? Because I want to.
Even if it's unnecessary, I wanted to give pretty and good things to you.
- Why?- Because I can.
Or, because I want to.
Yeah, but why?
Because I like you.
I know you weren't that smart, but I didn't know you were an idiot. Now that you know, just use them.
Or trash them.
I'm sure hearing a lot of things. Does your mother know that you're doing this stuff?
♫ Into the shimmering light ♫
♫ my small dream lay over there ♫
Is he a person?
♫ The road that I found ♫
He's so strong. He can break my head in an instant!
♫ You were there ♫
Oh, Soo Ho!♫ Like a dream ♫
Hang in there, Soo Ho!
Can Soo Ho do any better than others?
Even so, he is known as the most skilled defender with a sword, right?
He only has to resist it 10 times, right? ♫ Opened up to me ♫
Now it's 8 times.
♫ All I need is only you, chase that star ♫
♫ Until you unfold all the dreams heaven has ♫
♫ Even if darkness surrounds me ♫
♫ I will never let you go ♫
- Wow!- That was great!
Awesome.
How can we be assured of the safety of the queen with such weak guards and soldiers in the palace?
Stop it, Jap Chan. You better watch what you are saying!
Please think things through.
They say that there are multiple rulers in this kingdom.
With so much land and their own soldiers, they could be mistaken for a king.
The examples are found among many members of the royal council.
How miserly of you, all of you.
When you have to help out the financial situation for the palace, you want to make it worse by arguing over nothing.
Where do you think this place is that you stepped foot in here? With what capacity?
As a previous member of the royal council and as a current Master of Hwarang who is growing the future members of the royal council.
This meeting is to decide on the important matters about royal family mattters. Get out of here.
Am I not here because of that?
Music and EntertainmentLet me present the Hwarang's performance on the Moon Festival.
What exactly is your intention in displaying the Hwarang performance?
Don't you want to make clear to the world the Hwarang as Silla's Hwarang
through the promotion of Your HIghness' Hwarang as soon as possible?
What better opportunity is there than a celebratory feast such as Hangawi. (Moon Festival. August 15 on the Lunar Calendar)
when all the subject's attention is focused on Silla's royal family?
Are you saying that Hwarang will do the performance for King Jin Heung's benefit?
Hwarang will do a performance for the subject.
For the subject?
Don't you see what Pool Wall Joo is up to?He wants to declare that Ji So owns Hwarang in front of the subject.
How about just preventing that from happening?
Do you have a good scheme to stop the performance?
Get my horse ready.
I am very sorry to say this, but Pool Wall Joo is in the palace at the moment.You cannot meet him.
I'm not here to meet Wol Joo, I'm here to meet Hwarang.
Gakgan!
Show your respect to see Gakgan Yeong Sil Gong. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
But why is the Gakgan here? Is it because of Ban Ryu?
Who knows.
Since I'm here, I would like to speak with one of the Hwarangs.
Ban Ryu.
No, I want to talk with Seon Woo.
Yeong Sil Gong is looking for the Hwarang the Queen Dowager picked?
Why does Yeong Siil Gong want to meet him in private?
Don't be so concerned. It was all for your sake.
For my sake? What do you mean?
You look better than I imagined.
What is the reason for wanting to meet me?
Well, It was hard to get the chance to meet you, but
now that the chance is given, I don't know what to ask first.
Come back when it comes into your mind.
I heard your friend died. By a palace guard.
What kind of sin did he commit that he had to be killed?
What are you?
Did you see? The king's face?
What do you mean by the king's face?
The king's face. The king's face.
I...I think I saw the king.
It seems you finally remember. If you're wondering if I'm on your side or against you, let me say one more thing.
I am on the side opposite the queen dowager.
Your father and myself are the people who have grudges against the queen dowager.
If only I can find out who the king is, I can get revenge.
You got the wrong idea. I don't know anything.
If you are finished, I will be on my way.
Dog-Bird.
Mak Moon, if you died because you saw the king's face. If that's true...
then I can't forgive that king. If I ever meet the King,
the I will get pay back for your life.
You must be more amazing than we thought. Consider that Gakgan came all the way to the Hwarang's school to see you.
Who is he ignoring? I'm not someone who should get this kind of maltreatment...
He deserves death by boiling.
What is this, seriously? I can't rest properly.
What is this?
No way.
What is it?
I recognize this drumming.
Soon the capital willl celebrate the Hangawi festival.
You must perform dance and music in front of the people and the Queen Dowager.
Are you saying you want us to dress up, dance, sing and perfrom in front of the queen dowager?
What I am saying is not that you perform cute tricks in front of Her Majesty,
but that you present cheering music and dance performances for the subject to enjoy.
This is your second assignment.
Have fun.
The right teacher to teach you the music
and dance is Woo Reuk here.
You guys should be honored to hear his music in person.
Is he truly the famous Gaya's musician: Woo Reuk?
Is he that popular?
Even I've heard about him. There's no instrument he can't play. Especially, they say he rocks on Gayageum. (Gayageum is a string instrument.)
He rocks on what?
But...
This...
Ahjae (another form of Ajussi), what are you doing here?
I'm not "Ahjae". I'm your teacher.
Did...did do over the wall! Are you crazy at your age!
Why did I do that surreptitiously when I'm not a Cheonin?
You always lived like one though.
I'm not going to live like that anymore. So if you don't do it properly, I'm going to shoot arrows again.
How do you know Poon Wol Joo?
People who share the appreciation for the arts have a way of getting through each other.
Do well. I heard you are the first nominate for failure.
The basis of all instruments is the rhythm. The rhythm is the rule of the instruments.
If you cannot master the rhythm, then even a beautiful melody
is nothing but random noise.
The rhythm is not about suppressing the freedom of the melody.
It is the force which draws the free melody without exhausting it.
Now, open your hearts wide,
and feel the rhythm. Did you get that?
Yes!
You guys will have to use your whole body to make noise.
You should use your feet. You use your hands.
You use your shoes, and you use...your cheeks.
Cheek.
Do it harder!
Oh!
That was good!
Wow.
Why? What?
As I expected, this is the best for a hangover.
You squeezed out the best tasting arrowroot juice I have ever had.
By the way, where on earth did that unknown man roll in from?
Watch for your mouth.
Where did he come from? His music seems weird.
I thought he was someone you would know.
How would I know him?
He used to care of your brother. How could you not know him?
That man is the one who raised my brother?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
I told you to do this.
It doesn't do what I want it to.
- Okay.- Again!
The noble offspring are dancing and singing in front of the queen dowager?
This is beyond humiliation!!
Look. They said they want to raise intelligentsia of Silla.
Queen Ji So is showing her true colors in this way, isn't she?
The queen is making the Hwarang for street clown and showing them to the people.
Yeong Sil Gong. Are you doing to let the queen humiliate us like this?
It seems the queen dowager wants to get things done faster.
There must be a reason to do so.
Isn't she rushing to establish her sovereign authority?
I wasn't going to say this, but...
- Then don't say it.- Dancing...
Do you want to be recorded as the humiliated one forever in Silla's history?
Who can call me as a humillataion? I will remain
as a legendary king who was handsome and even danced well.
By what chance?
Haven't you tried to think about the reason you couldn't get married?
I didn't get married out of loyalty to you. It's not that I couldn't.
And if I go out, I have huge popularity amongst women.
I know you want to think that way, but you're not their style.
Why not?
You really don't know what women are like.
Jeez.
I forgot everything because of you!
Is your body made of sticks?
I heard this is the second assignment. If you get a fail on this too,
they said you can actually get kicked out.
I'm getting better.
Getting better, my ass. You're getting worse because you're doing it alone.
Don't mind me. I'll somehow pass.
Besides your stiff body, you have no sense of rhythm.
So you grab it. Then you bend your back...
This...you can't do this?
I don't know who's calling whom "sticks."
I'm very flexible!
You can't even do this. Now, do it again.
Go over there. I'm going to get distracted.
Like this. Like this.
Like this.
Do it like this. Like this.
Don't do that! It's weird!
It's nice to see you smile.
He's your brother, right? He definitely said the necklace belonged to his friend, not him.
Brother,
Mother couldn't sing lullabies.
Because she couldn't speak.
Let's do it faster.
Ban Ryu, you ridiculed it, but you were trying your best.
What do you mean I was trying my best? I didn't put in much effort.
Even if you didn't put in effort, you were still better than Seon Woo.
That jerk...
Han Seong, what are you doing in this room?
It's so loud that I can't sleep.
I need to do the group dancing with you guys anyway, so I'm sleeping here from now on.
Are you really choosing me?
-Is it really me?-Ehwew
It's too bad.
- I could have enjoyed your company for sleeping.- What the?
I can't believe this. Do you want to die? Aren't you going back?
I don't know. I would rather sleep with someone who is like a human.
Hey...
Give it back.
Guys?
Go!
One, two, three.
♫ Grating grating on my torn heart ♫
♫ Your cold sighs ♫
♫ Ever so slowly like a withering flower ♫
But, somehow frivolously dancing with a sword...
And dancing like that?
You don't know that dance?♫ Damn this love ♫
Many dance like that in the west.♫ only because of you ♫ Even if it hurts, I can't stop ♫
Hey, they dance like that with swords?♫ Even if it kills, for me still it is you ♫ Without you the tears which penetrate my heart ♫
That is exactly what you call "sword dance."
Sword dance...satisfying anyway since they are working hard.
♫ You who are turning away turn your feet toward me ♫
♫ I request and want you, you are everything in my life ♫
♫ Please carry me off on the dispersing light na na na na na na ♫
♫ It’s gonna be you na na na na na na ♫
♫ Wo-o-o-o I can't let go ♫
Hurry and accept it.
What is this?
One appears to be a heartrending love letter and
another is a warm letter sent by the father to his son.
I heard that you will be performing at the Hangawi Festival in the capital.
I will certainly tell my brother who doesn't know anything the truth about that day.
Also I would like to meet you and apologize in person.
Until then, please be safe from my ignorant brother.
I wish you all the best.
There's a lot of talk in the Capital about you dancing.
Show us your great dancing. I will look forward to it. Soo Yeon.
The queen dowager has great expectations.
Are you referring to the Hangawi festival?
The Hwarang will perform a group dance and music.
It seems the popularity of Hwarang will continue to rise.
Is there a way?
You have to make it so that the disappointment is as big as the expectations.
I will have to make the Hwarang laughingstocks in front of the people.
Who can do that?
Since it's the first request from his father, he would do well.
Are you Teacher Woo Reuk?
Are you alright?
But young lady who are you?
I heard there were only men at the Seon Moon.
My name is Ah Ro, My father is Ahn Ji Gong
Then, are you Mak Moon's sister?
Mak Moon?
That was my brother's name in the past.
It is dried mountain strawberry tea.
It will be good for you to drink this tea since your chest feels heavy and you are surprised easily.
With your brother...
You aren't like him.
I know as well that we do not look alike.
Mak Moon...
was warm hearted child.
It's Seon Woo, his name now.
That's right.
If I met the person that raised my brother, there was something I wanted to ask.
Did my brother...
ever miss me?
If you drink this, your head won't hurt and this will help calm your anger.
It's that kind of tea so I will leave it here.
♬ Don't look at me with sad eyes ♬ This.
♬ Your aching heart displays everything♬ It was over there. I heard it's a good medicinal herb.
It prevents headaches and lowers anger.
It's Chrysanthemum.
They're not flowers, they are medicine.
I like that you are...
my brother.
♬ I'm afraid of being suspended a long time somewhere in memory♬
But you are not.
♬ I'm afraid the more I try to wipe it out, the more I will be left yearning♬
♬ So I can't let it go ♬
Who are you?
♬ Although you and I became tears for each other♬
♬ After time passed on a bright day♬
♬ when we just held each other and it was just like a dream♬
-Preview ♫ I remember then ♫
Your crying makes me angry. Getting hurt because of someone...
I will kill him.
Following the sacred bone tradition, Princess Sook Myoung will be your wife.
I will choose my own queen.
I've done so many things to protect you, but you're going to ruin all of it by yourself?
If I say I can't, what will you do? Living like my brother as if nothing happened...
If I say I don't like it, what will you do?
I think the celebration today will be fun for many reasons.
You can never disappoint Young Sil Gong.
I was looking for a method to save you.
But I could not find it.
♬ By myself I'm saying goodbye ♬
Kill her.
♬ If you even remove two letters♬
