Episode 2
Hwang-Hu Mama has arrived.
It’s a major dilemma!
This is Shin Chaegyung, Mama.
Sit down.
The reason why I asked you to come to this palace was because
I wanted to hear your opinion on this engagement proposal.
What?
Yes.. Mama..
This was the former king and your grandfather’s promise.
What do you think of this?
Your burden will be heavy because you are still a student, right?
What?
Yes.. Hwang-Hu Mama..
As a bride to-be, you will have to respect the elders and bring forth many children,
but this is an important marriage that cannot be done hastily.
To tell you the truth,
I came to tell you that I will get married.
Is that so?
I thought you were strongly against it.
If it's okay, can I ask you something?
What is it?
This is the only choice I have.
You might already know,
but my dad is unemployed,
and my mom is an insurance salesperson.
So?
So I’m guessing if my suffering parents can be comfortable..
I’m guessing you want a reasonable reward.
You are more shrewd then you look.
Are you making a proposal with this marriage?
It's not a proposal, but a request-
That’s not something you should be involved in.
Because you will be part of the royal family,
your family will receive things that will secure your households reputation.
Oh then.. Thank you very much, Mama! I will marry!
Tae-Hu Mama is here.
This is Shin Chaegyung, Your Highness.
Ah, this is you..
You look better in person!
So, I’ve heard you will accept this engagement proposal?
If you will allow it, then I will.
Oh.. is that so?
What is on your skirt?
Sit.. sit please.
What kind of dye did you use?
Um.. it's fruit juice, Your Highness.
If you use an alum on a white fruit, you get a bright reddish color,
but this fruit has a pastel and natural color.
If it's that specific fruit, it wouldn’t be that color.
Maybe there are added chemicals..
Oh.. should we try dying with what she used?
It was a sudden event, and the decision should have been hard..
How did you come up with that decision?
That is.. well.. I thought..
Its okay, its okay…
You aren’t used to this kind of language, so say it in the modern way.
I am still a HWS.. well.. it's like kh right now.. chul.. (hws and kh - another word for LOL)
Our house got..
Do you know what she's talking about?
No, sorry.
I just caught some adjectives and some articles.
HWS?
What kind of nickname is that?
Kh?
What is the meaning for those letters? [hardworking student, kind of hard]
Lets go.
Please go in.
This way please.
Why am I so stupid?
Did I make the right decision?
Should I have just rejected the proposal?
Did I make the wrong decision?
Are you alright?
Yes.. I'm alright.
I can see the child in you.
You look a bit like your grandfather.
Do you know me?
Our grandpa too?
Oih, PE pants.
Please leave so I can talk with her alone.
Yes, prince.
It was a reluctant marriage, but you made the right decision.
You’re very ordinary, easy...
I think you’ll be fun!
What?
Ordinary.. easy.. and fun?
It's like you’re the main character of a cheerful comic.
What?! Cheerful comic?!
Ajusshi! Ajusshi! Where can I get in the car?
If the king saw her, he wouldn’t have made the promise.
Even though she is a modern child,
her speech and manners aren’t fit for a princess..
We are of different ranks, how can he pick a family like that?!
Shall I ask him why?
I'm sorry, Mama.
The king learned to write from the grandfather, and wrote this.
This letter shows that the ranks aren’t a problem.
She may have speech problems but her eyes are clear and her personality is bright and pure.
She is a suitable bride for the prince.
The king always made right decisions.
He thought of the future and made this promise, and we don’t have the right to break it.
Do not complain about his decision.
Chaegyung, eat dinner.
What are you doing over there?
Aren’t you going to eat?
I’m going to eat all the fried pumpkin! PIG!
She’s being moody, do something.
Tell her to eat.
Just leave her.
She's overreacting. Does she think she's the best child in the world, drowning in her own misery?
We said she didn’t have to marry, but she went there with her own two feet.
Hey!
Your sister's! Are you eating them all?!
I’m marrying,
I’m not,
I am,
I’m not,
I am,
I’m not..
I am..
Hey guys,
did you ever think about marriage?
Hey, a student marrying?!
I know, you crazy girl!
You idiot, marriage?! Yeah right!
In Korea, a regular persons lifespan is 80 years.
Lets say we married at our age, then how long are you living with one person?!
That’s like.. 80-19 = 61 years! Tiring isn’t it?!
I know! And if you're married, and someone you love appears. What are you going to do?
So you shouldn’t get married until you find someone you love.
You can't even date your lover.
That’s right!
I didn't think of that!
Chaegyung Ah~!
Inside the ring, it's encrypted. And you fit it in here.
And these two halves meet..
Dad! Dad!
This marriage is invalid! Where is the engagement cup?! Where did you hide it?
Where is it?!
This..?
Hey, hey! The prince’s wedding!
Hey, hey!
Oh my God, Jesus Christ, Superstar!
We have to grab this chance.
We have to rush the royal family’s official announcements.
Yes sir. I will tell the gazette.
Lets continue what we were doing..
This is the list of the cultural relics that had been seized to the foreign countries.
The ones on top are the cultural relics retrieved back by the royal family.
The ones on the bottom are those to find back later.
Why?
Are you worried because the announcements have been postponed sooner,
or are you worried about how all these people have to come?
Young Princess!
Come out and eat meat!
Yea! Princess!
Think that these are the intents of our ancestors, so eat and get strength!
Yeah, eat!
If you don’t come out, this prince will eat it all!
Hey.. don’t cry. I’ll call you older sister.
I know.
I know how you feel.
What do you know?!
I know, man!
After your mom grabbed the wedding date, she cried too.
What do I do, now what do I do?
Why does it have to be this picture!?
My middle school graduation picture.
It was the period of my life when I was ugly and fat.
I’m ruined! I’m ruined!
Who gave this picture?
- Was it you?! - It's not!
Let's die together!
I won't be able to walk on the streets anymore.
Pig! Pig! Big trouble! Hurry and get up!
Get out, I’m sleepy. I couldn’t sleep at all last night.
Scream.. There’s a fuss outside!
Stop! We didn’t even publicly announce it!
Our child has a school life!
You guys shouldn’t do this! Go!
Pig! You can't go out! Your enemies are too strong! Hey!
What's with all this noise? I can't sleep at all.
Please stop laughing, Your Highness.
How does the princess-to-be be so careless?
As more days pass,
she does things that she shouldn’t be doing.
We should have gotten the prince a girl from a better family.
No, no. What did the king want?
She is a girl that’s average, normal.. just an ordinary girl.
What do you think?
In the Royal family's history, there are no Crown Princess' coming from commoners at all.
The Parliament and Media have given good comments over it.
Is that so?
It's also a good thing since the Grand wedding this time,
has the meaning of the union between the Royal family and their country's people.
Look at her eyes! There's no other frog!
Shh! Watch what you say!
But, did her grandpa really save the king’s life?
That’s what I said.
I heard what Her Majesty said, but, well, I’m not sure.
I wonder what the real reason is.
Anyway, she's so lucky.
If my grandfather was like that,
maybe I could have been the princess-to-be?
Yeah right. He’s younger then us.
Anyway, then or now, we need to be from great ancestors.
Don’t overreact!
You guys shouldn’t tease someone from the imperial house!
You shouldn’t pay attention to these things!
It wasn’t like that.
Quiet!
How could you guys be so careless with your words and actions!
What is the thing you have to be most careful of in the Palace?
Your mouths!
It doesn’t matter who says it, it wont be tolerated!
It wasn’t just us..
Be quiet!
Did you guys forget the writing on the tablet?! Memorize it immediately!
The mouth is the anger summoning door. The tongue is a mind destroying knife.
If you keep your mouth shut and your tongue still, your mind will be comfortable and anywhere, all will be well.
You’re ready right?
Yea, fighting!
Why is there such a fuss?!
I’m kind of reluctant..
1.. 2.. 3!
I want to be the worlds' famous ballet dancer. If I marry a prince, don’t I have to give it all up?
I got a pimple!
It's smaller then mine!
KangYeon ah.
Lets go!
What's going on? Is it true? Is it really true?
Is it true?
I don’t know! I’m ruined!
The prince is mine! He's mine.
How can you deceive us like that? Chaegyung, you’re an evil girl.
What are you talking about? Who deceived who? I’m frustrated too!
Stop!
Hey! Who’s wearing PE pants under their skirt? Hey!
Hey Shin.
In the 21st century, who knew arranged marriages still existed?
Isn't it so overwhelming?
If you were going to marry, you should have gotten an audition.
Get all the stunning figured girls in line.
Wait for the chance and then hug them.
Yeah, wait for the chance and then hug them.
I should have done that. Didn’t think of it.
What about Hyorin?
Now what's going to happen between you two?
Then, from a secret couple, you guys are now a useless couple!
Hey. Watch what you guys say.
So what? It's funny!
It's Shin Chaegyung! It's Shin Chaegyung! Oh my God, what do I do? Hey unnie!
Her eyes are so pretty! Shin Chaegyung!
Shin Chaegyung is not dating, she's getting treated like Cinderella.
Who cares? Shin and Chaegyung don't look good together. I can never accept it.
But Kang Yeon, why are you so quiet?
She was like this from the start. She said she wanted to "AKKK!" the cinderella's neck.
That's right.
Hey guys!
I'm sorry, I love you!
You guys, I wanted to tell you first but I couldn't tell you cause of the situation I was in.
- Whatever. - Let's go!
Hey! I have something to tell you guys.
I'm not some kind of Cinderella.
I'm the filial daughter, Shin Chung.. Do you understand, you adolescents?!
Oh? Isn't that Hyorin? MIN HYORIN!
Bye.
Are you alright?
Don't you know that Min Hyorin's gullible?
I only have one thing in mind.
My memory is full.
This is so you.
When are you coming back?
I'll visit the airport.
If I get an award..
I'll be going straight to ballet school.
But..
But if I don't win an award, I'm not coming back.
Excuse me. What do I have to do to ride the limousine bus?
Make a left turn and go to the departure.
Thank you.
Today we have some surprising news.
Yes, the Prince, Lee Shin, is going to get married. And who might be the future princess?
Although he's still a high school student, it's possible for him to get married, right?
Yes.
It is some reasonable news.
However, it's mere shocking news about the princess.
Yes, the Prince, Lee Shin, who had captured a lot of girls' hearts,
and the Princess goes to the same school and their families..
Watch out!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
I'm alri..
Actually, I'm not alright.
Who is he?
...but they've been planning this marriage for a long time.
A lot of people are showing interest towards the Princes' marriage
and also they are wondering who this Shin Chaegyung girl is.
Father..
Yul is back.
The Queen has arrived!
Let her in.
The section of the Crown Princess is going smoothly and fast..
Nothing must go wrong during the hand asking,
presents offering and the wedding date.
Yes, Mama.
The wedding must follow the grand old Great Korea Empire style of the Crown Prince's traditional Bride fetching.
Don't be too extravagant for the three things in front, keep it as simple as possible.
Yes.
I'll listen to all you have said.
Aren't you, Yul Sang Goon Mama?
Mama!
Ahjusshi!
Do you recognize me?
Of course! Before you left to England, I was the one who played and piggybacked you when you were young.
Yes, I remember.
You look the same.
Great Queen and the King have missed you a lot.
- What happened to you.. - Yul Sang Goon Mama!
Nanny!
Is this a dream or reality? I knew you'd come back alive.
The Great Queen will be extremely happy.
Let's go in.
You've become a grown man already.
For these past years, I had never forgotten about you.
Yul..
But why did you come by yourself?
What about your mom?
Mom will take a long time to come back since she has some things to take care of.
Then, are you thinking of staying here forever?
Yes, Halma Mama.
Yes, good choice.
Then, where are you staying?
I'm living in a rented house.
What? You should have stayed at the Yong Mu Palace. Isn't your fathers' memorial Hall over there as well?
But it seems to need some repairs over there.
That's right.
It's true that the place was old.
Move inside the Goong, since you'll be uncomfortable at the rented house.
Excuse me, Mama.
But the law states that the old Kings' son is to be living outside the Goong.
That's right.
I wasn't thinking right cause I was too impatient.
Oh! Then you should be looking for the "Wang Nip" high school.
Great Queen, I won't go to "Wang Nip" High School.
I have studied design when I was in England.
What a freak!
Look at her.
To be honest, isn't she not the type to be a princess?
It seems like she doesn't fit the level.
Forget about it. I'll take care of my problems.
Just stay calm!
I took the wrong route.
Oy! Wait.
Where are you going? Let's talk.
I didn't know that you can still face the camera with your type of mentality.
What? Mentality?
I'm assuming you're preparing already.
Preparing for what?
The preparations to enter the Palace.
Someone will be coming to your house.
Entering the Palace?
You don't know about it?
It's for the Crown Princess' education.
I don't know if you can cope with it.
What's up with that facial expression of yours?
You're the one who agreed to the marriage, while asking for money at the same time.
What?
It doesn't matter to me, so I don't care.
Anyway, be fully prepared and not get me into a dumb situation because this is not a joke.
Hey, Shin Goon!
WHAT? Shin Goon?
Yeah, Shin Goon.
Let me ask you something.
You can just marry the girl you like and stop boasting.
What?
You had a girl that you proposed to then, why did you tell your parents that you wanted to get married to me?
You're so funny.
You don't seem to know anything.
Do you think I want to let the girl I like be trapped inside a Goong forever as a princess?
Then what about me?
I told you before.
You and I have nothing in relation.
I don't care what happens to you, so that's why I'm marrying you.
What did you say?
Shouldn't you be grateful that I'm marrying you without any complaints?
What did you say?
Then, are you saying that instead of being your girlfriend,
you want me to marry you and be trapped and work in the Goong?
Nonetheless, whatever, you should not forget, whatever the reason may be,
the truth is that you're going to be a princess.
If you want to be my wife, you have to upgrade your level or else you'll be in trouble.
Do you know?
You do know that your level of being a princess is low, right?
Level?
I don't want your stupidity to interfere with me. Got it?
And you.. take off those dirty sweatpants.
If you really can't, then I'll call in a person to teach you some manners..
Just go and learn it yourself! You jerk!
You never seem to alter my expectations.
What a jerk!
What did you say?
I'm going to put on laces and ribbons in these and I'll wear them to the Goong just for you!
You think I won't wear these inside the Goong?
Why does it hurt?
HEY! What's that?!
HALT! What is your building? What's your grade?
HEY! HALT NOW!
- Excuse me. - Yeah?
Where is the arts office?
Arts? It's next to this building on the second floor.
You need to prepare for the marriage faster.
Eh?
I still have a lot of time left for school to be over.
And also, my backpack is inside the classroom.
You want to fall in love with my charisma?
Go in!
Be quiet.
Come on in.
Let's be quiet.
Listen up! Today we have a new alien.
[POSTER: Planet Room]
Alright, alright! His name is Lee Yul.
- He's a good-looking alien, right? - Yeah!
Yul has lived in England since he was 5 years old, is that right?
So he will need a lot of your help.
And you guys know that there's no isolation in this classroom, right?
YES!
Hey, be prepared and let's open up our books.
You don't have the book right?
Then this time you came here for good?
Yeah.
You look exactly the same as the picture.
You too, look the same when you mailed your picture.
I knew you right away.
Do you still remember the last time we saw each other?
When we were 5 years old.
It was during the summer, right? I think it was really hot.
It was during the winter.
When I arrived in England, it was February. I'm positive.
Was it really?
By the way, I heard you're getting married.
Yeah, pretty much.
The girl must be really pretty.
What do you mean?
I thought that the girl might stop the marriage and refuse to marry you because of your personality.
Of course, it's not for free.
She's the girl that's going to get everything she needs.
Don't worry, she's not that pretty.
She's cute.
What?! She's cute?!
Don't joke around, do you know how uncouth she it?
I don't see her a lot but I can tell that it's her.
That's why the only reason why I didn't stop this marriage is because,
I want to see her having a hard time with the elders. Isn't it funny?
Oh yeah! You said you're in arts, right?
You could be in her class since she's also in arts. What classroom are you in?
BRING BACK THE PRINCE! BRING HIM BACK! BRING HIM BACK!
SHIN CHAE GYUNG, YOU MUST KILL YOURSELF! KILL YOURSELF! KILL YOURSELF!
I need to measure you.
Please turn around.
Seven and a half.
Twenty-one.
After that one newspaper article, the entire house has been a wreck!
And also, not only the photographers,
but also those fanclubs,
they are such a pain!
And what if something happens to my daughter, what are you going to do about it?
They say to destroy her.
Things will get better as the news is fully announced.
Don't worry, there will also be someone from the palace guards to ensure her safety.
So from Palace guards?
So in another words, a type of bodyguard.
Mom.. It's coming! It's coming!
And I will pass the news onto the news anchor.
Never once in the Royal family's history, has there been a Section of the Crown princess like this..
Now, not only a symbol of power, they are also the Royal family that blends in with the public.
They are now no longer just the privledged class
but the Royal family who is as close as your next door neighbors.
This national wedding symbolizes the union between the people and the Royal family.
The Royal family in the new year of 2006 has definitely started out on a strong, steady step.
Hey Hyorin!
Yes?
The practice room is set. When do you want to come?
No, I'll come down right now.
Will you be fine? Aren't you tired?
Alright then, I'll see you in 10 minutes at the lobby.
Okay.
What was Yul's reason for coming back here?
He didn't say anything.
Why?
Is there a problem?
There are only a few people who knows that the King's health is deteriorating.
I'm afraid that there may be a connection with this matter.
If not, why would a person that has no news at all in 14 years, come back suddenly at this time.
Doesn't it seem strange to you?
So you came all the way here because of this?
From now on, you need to be aware of Yul when you meet him.
Let's start again.
Is it right for us to do this?
My heart feels uncomfortable too.
But what can we do?
We can't go back on our promise to the Royal family.
Hey, why aren't you sleeping?
Mommy! My tummy hurts! It hurts..
Come here. Mom will rub it for you.
Mom's hand is a magical hand, the princess is a big belly..
How can this immature girl get married?
Does your stomach really hurt?
It's true!
My stomach almost made a hole! A hole this big.
Then should I put on the red medicine?
Dad, you're such a grandpa! What do you mean by red medicine?
Then I guess I should poke your fingers with a needle.
Chae Joon! Bring me a needle.
No, dad! I'm all better now. And Chae Joon is sleeping.
You're still the same when you try to get attention by pretending to be sick.
Come here. I'll take the wax out of your ear.
Your ear is full of wax! Good thing I'm doing this.
Oh.. it feels good.
How is it? Is it tight on you?
Wow! So pretty! You remind me of grandmother.
Really?
Pretty.
Eat well and don't get stomach aches. Okay?
Oh, right! Did you pack the extra medicine?
I packed it.
You better listen to mom and dad. Okay?!
Don't worry, pig!
Next time you come and visit, I'll show you my muscles!
We better hurry up.
My little princess.. Dad, blame all these on your useless Dad.
Oh, really.. Am I being dragged to jail?
Our princess is really the filial daughter, Shin Chung..
Just stop it. If I'm really Shin Chung, then wouldn't you be Blind man Shin?
Then, what about Mom? Is she the runaway Mom?
You are really..
I made the choice. I'll take responsibility for my life. Don't worry.
