Episode 19
Who is that?
I am the King of Silla, Jin Heung.
Is this a dream?
How did you know to come here?
Wherever you may be, did you think I wouldn't be able to find you?
I won't send you anywhere anymore.
♫ Don't get hurt ♫
♫ Don't come any closer ♫
♫ My frozen heart ♫
♫ Can't embrace you ♫
♫ A slight sprinkle is falling ♫
Open your eyes. ♫ Black tears cover me. ♫
♫ In my two red eyes ♫
Ah Ro, open your eyes. Ah Ro, open your eyes. ♫ I boxed you up ♫
♫ I want to go back again to turn the clock back ♫
♫ to when it was beautiful ♫
Please leave. I'll take care of this.
Don't you need to save her, Seon Woo?!
Why are you here?
Me? I came to protect them.
Don't you know who ordered me here?
Under whose command do you think I came?! And, you!
You keep speaking informally to me, but I've been eating the palace guards' food for ten years longer than you have!
Get out of the way.
I have come under the command of Her Highness the Queen Dowager to punish the impudent pretender to the throne.
You don't know who the false monarch is.
Because you serve a false monarch, you're confused as to who the real king is, right?
It's the true king's command to protect them.
It's a royal command, you rascal!
It is you who are disobeying the royal command.
Are you up to the task?
I'm going to start by killing you.
Chief guard, obey the royal command.
Your Highness!
Your daughter has become a Wonhwa.
A Wonhwa?
I shall make your son, no, my son, the king.
That child is Joon Jeong's son
Hwi Gyeong Gong's son, the sacred bone of Silla.
Wh-what is is this?
You must save her.
Take her in... inside!
Go.
I don't want to.
I'm saying this as this child's father and doctor!
Because you are a disturbance, leave.
♬ I'm chanting and chanting again the incantation ♬
♬ that I am not going to love ♬
This cannot be. Ah Ro, you must endure.
If something happens to you as well...
Please... please endure.
♬ Even knowing it would be without ♬
♬ It was everything ♬
♬ that I could do for you.♬
Make sure to eat. You must survive.
♬ Because I knew ♬
♬ our ending would hurt ♬
♬ Because I wish for a miracle like in movies ♬
Don't get hurt. Now, I hope you won't get hurt.
I haven't even told you that I liked you because you weren't my brother.
Because this heart of mine is about to go crazy, because I hate myself so much,
I couldn't tell you that's why I acted so hatefully.
♬ I'm bringing you back to my side again ♬
♬ Even if you try to leave, ultimately that's your place ♬
♬ A few days together with you ♬
♬ That's what a gift is and ♬
♬ I am thankful for being able to see you♬
She narrowly escaped receiving a fatal wound.
What happened?
The Queen Dowager sent the chief guard to kill me. She was hit by the arrow instead of me.
If I stay by her side, she'll keep being in danger.
Because she knows that the one who influences me is Ah Ro.
So what do you plan to do?
♫ I have never dreamed of you ♫
♫ Heart, don't love her ♫
♫ Blindfold me so that I can't see you ♫
Being like this does not suit you.
♫ This foolish heart...♫
So hurry and get up.
♫ only wants you. ♫
A guy like me,
thought it didn't matter whether I was born into this world or not.
After meeting you,
♫ Being wounded ♫
I was thankful for the first time for being born.
♫ Even it it hurts it is okay. I can't stop. ♫
Because the reason I'm alive right now is you,
♫ Because you are my love ♫
it's a relief.
♫ From where If I extend my hand I can touch you ♫
I'm sorry. Also,
♫ Don't get too far away ♫
I really love you.
♫ Don't leave me alone ♫
♫ The more you are pruned away the more your grow ♫
♫ I can't bear even a day without you ♫
♫ You are the person whom I love to the point of death. Receiving a wound ♫
♫ even it hurts is okay. I can't stop ♫
I will cover up the mistake you made.
You just need to stay put. Just like when no one knew what you looked like.
I will protect you. I will arrange for a detached palace for you to live in.
Stay there for now. I will shut the mouths of the Royal Council.
It is not a mistake.
If it is not a mistake, how can you ascend the throne without preparation?
Do you know what ultimately becomes of a king without power? A plaything!
Played around by the Royal Council. In the end, you will lose everything!
Losing the throne, you will also lose your life.
Will the sacred bone tradition end with your childish behavior?
I am already the king. The only thing that happened today was revealing that fact.
No. You're not a king.
You've only been under my shade with that justification.
Yes. I have been hiding under your shade.
I know very well that I'm alive thanks to you.
That shade was even comfortable, and there were times I even regarded it as fortunate.
However, living that way was not always pleasant.
Now, I came to let you know I will stand on my own.
In front of everyone without hiding my identity, I will deal with everything.
I came to create the future of Silla I dream of on my own!
You will regret it, most certainly.
That regret will also be my share to bear.
That is something I will handle.
You're here.
If you are my father...
My mother... I mean...
I must also have
a mother.
Well, was there someone like that?
Joon Jeong.
She was one of Silla's Wonhwa.
She was beautiful. She was an emminently virtuous person who received the subjects' trust.
The Wonhwa was a threat to the weak royal family.
In addition, when she was a Wonhwa bearing the child of a sacred bone, she was even more of a threat.
When it happened, you were the child she was bearing.
The baby is m-moving.
Ji So.
I'm still the same,
I was a Cheonin, then a half-breed,
now I'm a sacred bone. After so long.
Father.
I know it was difficult for you to live.
However, I won't say I'm sorry.
I had hoped that you would live freely without a name or a care for things like being a prince.
That...
was the best option to protect you.
I watched over you for a long time. And now it's time.
Preparations to make you the King. There is no one in Silla stronger than you.
There is no one who understands the people as well as you. A new king who will change the current and the future of chaotic Silla.
That person is you.
But then, where is the chief guard?
Mo Yeong. What about the tea? How much longer will it take?
Gakgan (Park Yeong Sil) will not take this without making a scene.
Someone who doesn't know anything, with such recklessness and childishness, wants to sit on the throne?
What kind of Silla will he create? How have I protected Sila.
Yee Chan. ( 17th rank, 2nd grade official).
Yes, Your Majesty.
There is something you must prepare.
Come in.
Isn't she the palace maid?
How is Ji So feeling?
Because she's been drinking tea laced with trace amounts of poison for 10 years, symptoms are now starting to appear.
Her hands tremble, she has fainting spells, and she has hallucinations.
It would've been a done deal if we had just killed off Sam Maek Jong.
Had the faceless king died quietly while wandering outside the palace and
Ji So died from a chronic illness,
who would hold a revolt against me, Park Young Sil, from ascending the throne?
There is a way to kill Sam Maek Jong.
You called for me?
Is there...something the matter?
His Majesty Jin Heung has returned.
There is something you must do.
One moment, over there! Did you hear the news?
- The king has changed.- What are you talking about?
That faceless king. That king has changed.
What?
Ji Dwi is the king.
So you mean, Ji Dwi is the king?
According to my information source, for certain, he already entered Wolseong and said "I am Jin Heung."
That fair-complexioned guy is the King? Then what is Dog-Bird?
That's what I mean.
So instead of Seon Woo, Ji Dwi is the real king?
This is why they say you need to observe a person till the very end.
- I don't remember.- What?
Was I nice to Ji Dwi all this time?
How regretful. I should've been nice to him.
That way, I'll be able to live comfortably without worrying for the rest of my life.
You dropped this.
Were you surprised because Seon Woo wasn't the real king?
What's with him?
Seonmoon's atmosphere is already disturbed as it is.
Poong Wol Joo, Poong Wol Joo!
Did you hear that Ji Dwi is His Majesty King Jin Heung?
Why shout and make so much noise?
By chance, did you already know—? Then you should've told me!
But, what are you doing right now?
I was fired. From being Poong Wol Joo.
What are you talking about? Instead of Seon Woo, they said that Ji Dwi was the king.
- It's a mess.- Aren't you affected by this at all?
You also thought that Dog-Bird was the real king.
He was believable as the king, that guy.
What's this? Why is Bu Jae coming into Poong Wol Joo's lecture?
From today, Poong Wol Joo has left Seonmoon.
So, there is no afternoon lecture on the Book of Odes.
Since it's a day off, you may leave Seonmoon.
Why did Poong Wol Joo...
I told you Seonmoon's atmosphere is disturbed.
Your Majesty, Princess Sook Myeong has arrived.
You want to go against my wishes?
How dangerous that Hwarang is, what a source of trouble he is,
- you have no idea.- But,
it was the King's royal command.
Royal command? Royal command?!
In Silla, what I order is the royal command!
I put Sam Maek Jong on the throne.
I created everything. I did!
Your Majesty, Queen Dowager.
Mother! Mother!
Is there no one there? Mother!
Among the Hwarang, Ji Dwi is the best.
Among the kings, Seon Woo is the best.
Among the Hwarang, Ji Dwi is the best.
Among the Kings, Seon Woo is the best.
Among the Hwarang, Ji Dwi is the best.
It's Han Seong's glass.
Among the Hwarang, Ji Dwi is the best. Among the Kings, Seon Woo is the best.
Among the Hwarang, the best is Ji Dwi. The King among kings is Seon Woo?
What kind of talk is this...
No way.
How do I look?
You really look like a king.
What happened to that rascal? He's safe, right?
What is it?
I asked you what's the matter.
For the first time, weren't you on your way to supervise
- a meeting? Later—- Tell me.
Immediately.
Actually, Doctor Ah Ro
was hit by an arrow shot by the chief guard.
She didn't die.
I apologize, Your Majesty.
Giddy up!
Do you really have to be so obvious?
What did I make so obvious?
Everyone gets fired at least once in their lifetime.
- You're acting as if it's a big deal by yourself.- It's because you haven't seen me from the beginning.
I'm usually like this.
You don't even know what's going on outside right now.
What's going on? Has a faceless king appeared? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Why is that such a big deal?
That's not it. It's talk that there will be another king.
Whoa.
What do you mean the king will change?
Right now, that song has spread everywhere!
Ji Dwi is the best among the Hwarang. Seon Woo is the king of kings.
This is the song which is widely rumored all over town.
Oh!
Speak of the devil!
Monk hat...you're Dog-Bird...
In any case, you've come.
Welcome, Your Majesty.
What happened? Where are the other officials?
I told them not to come here.
- You told them to not come? - Yes.
- Because I have something urgent to consult with Your Majesty about. - Consult?
Would it be okay for an old man with aching legs to sit down?
What are you doing right now?!
If I had known it was so comfortable, I would have done it a long time ago.
What was it like living in the real world?
Were you able to see justice, loyalty,
and compassion for your subjects?
A king who is used to that becomes indecisive.
Just like you, Your Majesty.
I am going to change who will be king.
What did you just say?
I asked if a guy like me became king, would Silla
become a bit better?
Does it seem that I have what it takes to become the King?
They said there is no wall in the world which will block you.
Do you intend to really go out and do it?
Please just answer the question.
A king that walks before his people to make a path for them.
Do you think it will be possible for me to become such a king?
How will Sam Maek Jong be brought down?
Catch the enemy by using the enemy.
By saying that, who are you going to use?
If there is no justification,
we will overpower it with justification.
Even though I act that way,
I am still weak
and can't do anything.
There is no alternative either.
Who is it? I told them not to let anyone in.
It's me, Sook Myeong.
You became the king on your own.
In your eyes, does it look that way?
No.
That's right, you've observed it well.
I am not anything yet.
I'm not the only one who knows that.
This entire kingdom of Silla knows and
Mother knows.
Mother is in a rush for the marriage.
Marriage? You mean between you and me?
This marriage is as horrible to me as it is to you.
To continue the lineage of the sacred bone, to keep the throne, being forced into a disgusting marriage, what on earth...
And I
want to have Seon Woo.
So, Orabeoni, persuade Mother.
Still if you are the King, don't you have to do something?
Are you asking me if you can be a good king?
Well, you might.
For one out of three people on the street, you might be better than the present king.
Becoming a king without justification is a rebellion.
You know very well what that is.
Fighting without a cause,
in the end, because of that fight, the people become impoverished.
Is that the type of king you want?
No.
The type of king I want is someone who will able to protect his people
and protect those who need protection.
A king who can protect
those who are weak, kind, wounded, and abandoned. That kind of king.
So tell me. If I have the justification or whatever to my name.
So if I am able to protect those people,
I am going to give it a try. Being the king.
You've come, Yeong Sil Gong.
You aren't even surprised
even though I came here.
Please understand that I cannot rise right now to greet you.
Please have a seat.
Please speak.
Did you come here because you wanted to make my son king?
Is that child really a sacred bone?
Do you think it's coincidence that your son and mine grew up together?
Just as you saved that child, I too did it to save your child.
Ji Soo also, with the world not knowing anything,
I wished for him to hide like that.
Wonha Joon Jeong.
What is going on?
I am dying right now.
The child...
Please save the child.
Joon Jeong.
Fate?
I won't let someone hurt you like this again.
I'll make sure that person will never
be able to harm you again.
I promise.
You did something unnecessarily.
Let go.
I know. That you can go alone. However, right now,
I'm here not as a Hwarang but as Your Majesty's body guard.
So, please allow me to do so.
A child like you is going to protect me?
I'm not a child, but young.
Enough for my heart to race wildly whenever I look at you.
Until the chief guard recovers, I will protect you.
The king that I wish for is one who can protect his people and
the people who need protection.
A king who can protect the weak, the kind, the wounded, the abandoned,
those kind of people.
So tell me, If I have the justification or whatever to my name,
and I can protect those people,
I am thinking of giving it a try. Being the king.
Even though there's a king, you want to become the King?
Ah Ro, it's Father.
Are you alright?
What about Orabeoni?
He's alright. He's okay.
I'm sorry, Father.
It's alright, now everything's fine.
Where is he?
Where is Orabeoni?
Have you prepared your heart?
It seems you haven't yet.
This isn't your choice.
Through you, it's Silla's choice.
Think about the Cheonin village you lived in with Mak Moon.
The choice you're about to make will be the most important and meaningful one.
There's someone who wants to meet you.
I heard you quit being Poong Wol Joo so why did you ask me to come here?
Were you surprised?
I know you don't have good feelings towards me.
No, you wouldn't know.
Because it's much worse than what you think.
This is why I confuse you as Sam Maek Jong, don't you think?
What's the reason you came here? For what reason did you want to meet me?
I'm thinking of making you king.
What a pity. Haven't you heard from Hwi Gyeong Gong about me?
Do you really think that I would accept help from someone like you?
Yes, I do.
How so?
Because that's what power is about.
Unless you wield it, you will succumb to it.
Until now, haven't you always been the victim?
That's why you want to become king.
So, don't you think you should make a decision?
Whether to wield it or succumb to it.
No. The choice is mine to make.
Because the one who seems desperate because you need me
appears to be you.
This must be power. If I don't wield it, succumbing to it.
Why don't you stay by my side. Where did you go?
So you're still alive.
What brings you here?
Am I scary?
If you...
If you trade places with me, you should know.
This isn't the first or second time.
I saved your brother.
You only put your brother in danger. I'm the one who saves him.
It seems you hoped that I would die.
Yes. I did.
More than you think, your brother is a precious person. I can protect him, if it weren't for you!
Although I already told you, I will survive.
No matter what.
Because I know better than anyone else
that is what my brother wishes.
So,
no matter what you say, no matter how you try to shake me up,
it's no use.
I protect my brother.
I protect my man.
You say everything with your mouth.
But, I can really protect Seon Woo.
Wherever, whatever the situation, from whomever!
We'll have to change the king.
Then, after taking Jin Heung down from the throne,
are you saying you will replace him with a different king?
Your Highness, Your Majesty has arrived.
Your complexion is pale.
Did you sit on the throne to be treated by Gagkan in that fashion?
You gave them an excuse.
It is something which will shake the foundation of the Silla's Sacred Bone System and cause contempt for the royal family.
It's because of you. It's all because of you.
I will prevail.
Prevail? How can you prevail?
Marry Sook Myeong.
I can't do that. That is something I won't do.
Show that you are different.
That you and they, in two worlds, even I, can not be the same.
The only way to prove that is to marry another sacred bone.
I will grow my strength through the Hwarang.
Through my Hwarang, I will dominate them.
Hwarang?
You haven't the slightest clue what the Hwarang are to you.
Seon Woo.
Seon Woo is Hwi Gyeong Gong's son.
That child also has the blood of the sacred bone.
He's another sacred bone who will cause war over the throne!
He's your rival who will strangle you!
I mean, you still didn't know?
Of course she woke up. A while ago!
I should've just said something to him.
But, I have nothing to say.
Am I really a burden?
No, I'm not!
I almost totally stopped myself.
Why isn't Orabeoni coming? I'm awake.
Yoo Beom Gong Gwa?
Even if there's someone who comes at you, endure it?
You... are you all right?
♬ Don't look at me with sad eyes ♬
What a relief.
It's truly a relief.
♬ Your aching heart displays everything ♬
Aren't you hurting?
That hurts.
♬ If you keep doing that you will just leave me ♬
Because you are pressing where I was hit by the arrow. ♬ When you only offer me tears, ♬
♫ what can I do? ♫
♬ I'm afraid of being suspended a long time somewhere in memory ♬
♬ I'm afraid the more I try to wipe it out, the more I will be left yearning ♬
I have something to tell you.
♬ So I can't let you go ♬
I know who I am.
Why I have no name.
Where I came from
and also where I must go.
But then,
I'm not sure if this is good for you.
I
believe in you more than myself.
So believe in yourself.
As I know,
you're the most trustworthy person in the world.
Because you'll be able to find your path better than anyone else.
♬ colors you also in the dream. ♬
Whatever choice you make,
no matter what anyone says,
I will be on your side until the end.
Go on the path you choose.
Because that is the right path.
♬ I am saying this is not a heart. ♬
♬ Although you and I became tears for each other ♬
These days, there is a song being sung in the capital.
Ji Dwi is the best among the Hwarang, Seon Woo is...
Tell me.
It's a song that says Seon Woo is the king of kings.
I am Silla's king!
That child also has the blood of the sacred bone. He is another who will start a war over the throne!
He is your rival who will strangle your neck!
Find Seon Woo.
You said you believe in me more than yourself?
Now preparations have been made. To make you into a king.
No one is Silla is as strong as you.
No one understands the people's hearts more than you do.
Do you want to sit there?
Do you really think of yourself as the owner of that throne?
♬ Although you and I became tears for each other ♬
♬ After time passed on a bright day ♬
♬ when we just held each other ♬
Why did you do that? Why?
We'll have to change the owner of Silla. Because the Hwarang and I will do it together.
The Hwarang will now be reborn as strong warriors.
Are you really going to dominate Seonmoon?
A king without power cannot do anything.
Do you not have the confidence to be chosen?
Today, I'm going to become the real king.
Do you really think you're the owner of that throne?
I crown Seon Woo, the son of Hwi Gyeong Gong, as the king.
With this, is it how it will end?
Because our paths are different?
♬ I am saying this is not a heart. ♬
I met you,
and for the first time, I was thankful for being born.
I really love you.
Find Seon Woo.
Do you really think of yourself as the owner of that throne?
