[Episode 2]
What on earth is this ruckus!
We'll end the prayer for rain now, so everyone should go home.
How have you been?
I am Gwanghae.
My name is Kim Yoon Hae.
The shining, round eyes like the Milky Way on a clear night
and Prince Gwanghae's strong, black brows.
The Milky Way is where the dragon lives.
My goodness, those two are a match made in Heaven.
What's going on...
How could her face be a match for Prince Gwanghae, too?
I will get going now.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
I saved a lizard that you were about to step on.
What?
Thanks to me, you avoided the sin of killing an innocent life.
So you should pay me.
How should I pay you?
Come with me.
Such good calligraphy of a good writing!
Look at the handwriting that flows elegantly yet with full of energy!
It's not a level anyone can easily copy.
Isn't this an appeal my father wrote to His Majesty?
So you recognize it right away.
I've seen this handwriting before at your house.
From that astronomical chart with the king's constellation symbol.
Lord Kim wrote that astronomical chart, correct?
What's the reason you brought me here and
interrogated me on my father's handwriting?
How the constellation symbol that Lord Kim wrote
became a mark of the thieves in the palace...
Before I ask Lord Kim myself, I'm asking you for your understanding.
Are you... suspicious my father now?
I know about Lord Kim's profound knowledge and noble character...
but that constellation symbol is the only clue I saw.
So I have to chase the source of it.
When I saw you approaching the patient with acute indigestion
I was moved by the sight and showed you the astronomical chart.
Now I think about it, all of it must have been your tricks to see the chart!
Look! That's a misunderstanding! Stop!
My name is Go San, a professor in physiognomy.
How would a professor in physiognomy have any business with me?
I saw your face in passing at the prayer for rain...
You have such a good face, so I waited here to say hello to you.
Thank you.
She's definitely a woman.
How could this happen at the prayer
where everything should've been prepared perfectly?
Your Majesty... this is the will of Heaven...
Continue.
The prayer for rain got messed up because it was the will of Heaven?
Is that what you're saying?
I didn't mean that...
Does it mean that Heaven won't send rain for my effort?
Sire! I deserve to die!
Please take my life now so that my sin can be washed.
If I can make the rain come by killing you...
I would have done it a hundred times.
Sire!
Sire, a message came that Japanese pirates invaded three southern provinces.
What?
Daedong! Daedong! Daedong! Daedong!
While the Japanese pirates were busy looting...
just what were the soldiers doing
that Jung Yeo Rip protected my people alone?
Japanese pirates appear often in the three southern provinces to begin with.
It's beyond the soldiers' capacity to protect the region by themselves.
[Lee San Hae, Vice Premier]
Sire, I believe it is right to bring in Jung Yeo Rip
who has protected the region against the Japanese pirates
and give him a big reward.
He is doing the job of the army, so what else could be a bigger contribution?
[Yoo Seung, Minister of Justice]
So now that Jung Yeo Rip is over there
does it mean that the three southern provinces don't need me anymore?
[Kim Doo Seo, Vice Minister of the Royal Advisory Council]
We have to catch him!
What did you just say?
The thief in the library definitely belongs to Daedong Society?
Yes, he confessed that he belongs to Daedong Society.
I just heard that Jung Yeo Rip is a loyal vassal
who beat the Japanese pirates.
But he was after the 'Secret Book of King's Face'?
Send people to Jook Island now where Jung Yeo Rip is...
and check on them carefully.
I'll execute your order.
Jung Yeo Rip has hundreds of strong young men...
and he aimed for the 'Secret Book of King's Face'?
Eunuch Song.
What do you think this means?
- Sire, Jung Yeo Rip is loyal. - Loyal?
The one who tried to take the 'Secret Book of King's Face' is loyal?
Do you really not know?
This is treason!
Sire!
I need to get rid of the 'Secret Book of King's Face' right away.
That book is a precious one written for the kings of Joseon.
It's a national treasure inherited from the ancestors
so it's not to be destroyed at whim, sire.
On the day I became the king...
the first thing I wanted to do was to burn it.
But the reason I left it alone was
that I was going to govern the country as a sage king
and wanted to show that the wicked face reader was wrong.
But I don't have any reason to keep it when it's only a bud for treason!
Open it.
Open the box.
Burn it.
Sire...
this book is a treasure of the royal family.
I said, burn it.
Previous kings are watching.
You shouldn't burn this at whim!
I came this far because I was fooled by your words.
I should have burnt this a long time ago.
I said, burn it!
Sire!
Sire...
Will you be able to get away from this
even if you burn the 'Secret Book of King's Face'?
It's only a bunch of papers.
That young master Yoon Hae sent a message
to meet at Gwangtong Bridge.
How can you make a prince of this country wait?
Please get on. We can't get there by walking.
Where are we going all of a sudden?
Before you report my father
there is something you must see.
My lord!
My lord! This is it, right?
Yes, this is Hero's Herb. You did a good job of finding it.
It's spread everywhere over there.
Did everyone hear that?
If you have fever and acute indigestion
ask Deuk and make sure to drink this herb tea.
Yes, sir.
To people who were kicked out of their homes because of the plague
my father gave this area to them.
What do you think?
Does he look like he has something to do with
the thieves who broke into the palace?
Take your time and look carefully so that you won't have any doubts left.
You surprised me twice.
Sure, I will look carefully.
I was very inspired by Lord Kim today.
Once your suspicion clears up, please say that to my father yourself, sire.
Yes, I promise you.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Let's go now.
Jung Yeo Rip is plotting a rebellion?
Didn't you tell me to give a reward to Jung Yeo Rip?
So I sent people to Jook Island where he is and had them check on him.
Members of Daedong Society add up to over some hundreds already.
And they're in military training every day.
If it doesn't mean plotting a rebellion, then what else can it be?
Sire, they're training not because they are plotting a rebellion.
It is to fight off the Japanese pirates that appear often in the region.
Sire, they are loyal vassals who protect our people.
How can you be so sure that he is loyal?
How can you know so well about his hidden agenda?
Installation of the crown prince is over the bridge again!
Just how long do I have to wait?
[Prince Imhae, First Son of Seonjo]
Imhae, if it is really a rebellion, then what happens?
If Father said the word 'rebellion,' then it is a rebellion.
So you and I must be in hiding quietly.
That's how we can avoid this thunderstorm.
Hide? Where can we possibly hide?
Where can it be?
Hide yourself under Queen Majesty's skirt.
For me...
I'll hide myself under the skirts of these girls!
Your Highness, please stop!
Open the door!
The rotten smell of the sea water stinks so badly...
that I can't stand it.
Which brings me to a poem.
Isn't he Lord Songkang?
The smell is so foul
that it more than covers all the people dying of starvation in this country!
[Jung Chul - Pen name Songkang]
How pathetic.
What did you just say?
My... I wondered what smelled so foul...
and there you are, Prince Imhae.
Imhae! Why are you doing this?
Do you have one life or two?
You dared to say rough words to the future crown prince?
We have to wait and see where the seat of the crown prince falls.
Forgive us, Lord Jung. My brother had a little too much to drink.
I also had too much to drink so I went a little too far.
Not at all. You were right.
People dying from starvation are everywhere in the city
but we were having an extravagant party as princes.
I feel ashamed.
I've always learned a lot from your poems and writings.
Thank you very much for teaching me again this way.
How have you been?
Have you been soaked in wine barrel?
As soon as I arrived in the city
I stopped by at the best courtesans' house in the city
and had a glass on my way here.
That's the Songkang I know!
Do you know... about Jung Yeo Rip?
Of course I do.
I've been keeping an eye on his treacherous mind.
Did you just say, 'treacherous mind'?
He's always claimed that the world belongs to everyone, not to one person.
Isn't this a treacherous mind?
I plan to get to the root of that treacherous mind. What do you think?
Use me as a lighter for your plan.
His Majesty didn't care for Songkang before.
So why do you think he brought in Lord Songkang?
[Gwiin Kim, Seonjo's Concubine]
He means to drive us away since we don't act the way he wants us.
Lord Jung Chul will earn his second chance.
His Majesty's royal power will strengthen again.
It looks like a bloody thunderstorm will come to the city soon.
You haven't been around for a few days.
But the young scholar is not here yet.
Who are you talking about?
My goodness, who could it be?
The handsome scholar that you asked about last time.
We don't know each other.
And don't say that to the young master.
Young Master Yoon Hae!
What a coincidence! Did you also come to borrow a book?
You looked familiar somehow...
So we ran into each other in the book store before.
I was going to send you a message anyway.
Is your investigation over?
Investigation on the astronomical chart is not over yet.
But the astronomical chart...
It's really interesting.
Features of human lives are compared to constellations one by one.
It's amazing!
So... I'd like to keep it for a few more days.
Can I borrow it for another three, four days?
- Stay with me. - What are you doing?
What the...
What a rude bitch.
I'll make sure to fix your attitude today.
Sorry about the noise. It's nothing, so don't mind us.
Since it's nothing... why don't you forgive that courtesan, too?
Mind your own business.
I will teach this bitch... so that she doesn't act her looks again.
You must be embarrassed about not getting your way
with that girl in front of your friends.
I know a way that will save your face as a man.
What is it?
You lost, so leave now.
Like a man.
You have a delicate look, but you can hold your drink.
Young Master Yoon Hae! Young Master Yoon Hae!
Your Highness...
Please sing me that song.
That song?
Which song?
The song that makes me forget concerns and worries.
That is your mother.
My father told me...
when someone dies, she becomes a star like that.
My brother's star is over there.
Brother! I'm here! Can you see me?
Are you doing well over there?
Why don't you say something too?
Mother!
This is Gwanghae.
Can you recognize me?
I've grown a lot now.
I am doing well, so don't worry!
But the star is too far.
Yes...
It would be really nice if I can grab it.
I will grab it for you.
Really?
What is this?
Ga Hee...
will you marry me later?
I heard that beautiful girls are everywhere in the palace.
Once you return to the palace, would you even remember me?
Rather than beautiful girls...
I like a girl like you with a loud voice and a good appetite.
Really?
That's not it!
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Sire, Queen Majesty is ill. You have to hurry back to the palace.
Sire!
Ga Hee!
Ga Hee! Where are you, Ga Hee?
Ga Hee! Ga Hee, where are you?
Ga Hee...
Are you leaving?
I have to go.
Before I leave, I will grab a star for you.
I won't be fooled twice.
While I am not around...
this star will protect you.
I will definitely come back to see you.
So make sure to wait for me.
You're finally up?
The sun is already shining.
What happened?
Don't you remember... that you puked on my robe and cussed at me last night?
I did that?
I don't remember anything.
Then... are you saying that I'm lying to you?
Of course not! I deserve to die!
But... I just did something terrible...
so I'll apologize to you next time.
Sire, why didn't you say anything and just let her go?
You've tried so hard to find Lady Ga Hee until now
so how can you just let her go?
You should be spending time with her.
There must be a reason that she has to live as a man.
If I let her know that I recognize her...
What if she disappears again?
When she couldn't say anything after recognizing me...
how would she have felt?
Sire...
How could I not recognize her right away...
I am really pathetic.
I lent the astronomical chart to Prince Gwanghae.
What? Did you just say Prince Gwanghae?
It seems that thieves broke into the palace.
The prince was suspicious of the constellation symbol in the astronomical chart.
It was so unfair that I let him borrow the book to check.
I told you not to get close to Prince Gwanghae!
I couldn't stand that he'd be suspicious of you for no reason.
I'm supposed to get it back in a few days.
You may take your leave now.
The constellation symbol where the king, vassals, and commoners co-exist in the same size.
Sell me this constellation symbol.
Sell it to you? What will you do with it?
This is a guide that shows an equal world.
I will use it as the symbol of our Daedong Society.
Jookdo... What should I do about this?
[Jinahn in Jook Island (Daedong Society Headquarters)]
Teacher, did you find it?
I received a letter from Lord Kim.
[Jung Yeo Rip]
The thieves who broke into the palace library
a few days ago belong to Daedong Society.
Did you order it?
What were you trying to do with the 'Secret Book of King's Face'?
You said that there is proof in that book.
The proof that the current king is not supposed to be a king.
I just wanted to realize the equal country you dream of as soon as possible!
I told you about the 'Secret Book of King's Face'
so that we can be prepared for the worst cases.
Even if I'm not around
Do Chi, you must realize the equal country.
I didn't think through. I am sorry.
Go to the city right away.
Go... and reorganize Daedong Society within the city.
Regardless of what it takes...
our organization in the city cannot fall apart.
Yes, I will leave right now.
Didn't another group of soldiers pass by two hours ago?
Why... Could it be?
Criminal Jung Yeo Rip, accept the royal command.
Criminal? What is my crime?
Gathering people, training them as private soldiers, and plotting a rebellion.
I did gather soldiers and slaves of no name
and train their minds and bodies.
We also killed Japanese pirates that the government ignored
and saved the people on our land.
And you call me a criminal?
- Arrest him right now! - Yes, sir!
Stand back.
If we resist now, we're giving them a good excuse.
Arrest me now. I will tell the king myself that I didn't commit any crime.
He should not come to the palace alive.
His fate must end in Jinahn by taking his own life.
It's my fault! It's my fault!
Teacher... please!
Teacher... Teacher!
From now... you have to open the new sky instead of me.
I am so sorry...
I am sorry...
Don't blame yourself.
It just came a little early. It's not your fault.
Find the one who will be a sage king.
You must realize an equal society.
Go to Lord Kim Doo Seo. He will help you.
Teacher...
Leave!
Jung Yeo Rip took his own life?
I only meant to interrogate him and find out the truth.
But Jung Yeo Rip killed the governor of Jinahn and soldiers.
Then he killed himself.
Sire, Jung Yeo Rip wouldn't take his own life.
This is...
This is slander.
Slander? Watch your words!
What else could be more clear proof of a rebellion other than killing soldiers?
He acknowledged the crime himself... and that's why he took his own life.
Sire...
Please eradicate all the sources of evil not just Daedong Society at this time
and pull out the root of all treacherous minds!
Please consider.
They must've had someone in mind for a king.
Find out who that is right away.
The constellation symbol where the king, vassals, and people co-exist in the same size?
[The world under the sky doesn't have a master, so anyone can be the king.]
This is...
I trust you.
[Queen Uiin, Seonjo's wife]
Trust is deeper than love.
You should trust me, too.
Of course I do.
You are the sky to me.
In order to protect the title of the king...
I might have to trim off your far-off branches.
Did you plot a rebellion with Jung Yeo Rip?
What do you really want from me?
Queen Majesty... If you can protect Queen Majesty, I will give you any answer.
You don't need to say any word.
Who the heck are you?
Ringleader of the traitors, accept the royal command.
What? Ringleader of the traitors?
Since I didn't install you as the crown prince
were you trying to ascend to the throne on your own?
Is that why you plotted a rebellion?
Father... this is a setup.
I can assure you that I didn't plot a rebellion.
The mayor of the city confessed everything before he died.
The one they were planning to establish as the king is... Prince Imhae.
How dare you!
You think you will be safe after this?
I will make sure to do something about you!
Father, this is unfair. This is unfair, Father!
Lock up Imhae in prison right away.
What... do you mean by that?
This interrogation will end...
only after revealing the ringleader of the traitors.
The one that Daedong Society planned to establish as the king.
That's what we need.
You mean... you chose my brother as the victim?
I'm asking if that's the case, Lord Jung!
Don't try to find out.
Also, don't do anything.
Close your eyes, cover your ears...
Just wait until the breeze passes.
That's the way to protect yourself and the future of Joseon.
What... should I do?
It is truly painful.
The writing on the astronomical chart is definitely that of a treacherous mind.
I have to save my brother Imhae...
Then what happens to that girl?
Please give me wisdom.
It's been a while.
Do you remember me?
You are... the professor of physiognomy I saw at the prayer for rain.
Yes, that's right.
Miss...
You address a man as 'miss'? Are you crazy?
Move aside!
You can't fool my eyes.
If you don't want the whole world to know that you're a woman
please come with me.
I've been looking for a lady with the face like yours for a long time.
I'm following His Majesty's command.
His Majesty's command?
You have the face to become His Majesty's concubine.
Your joke went too far. How dare you say such things!
This is the gift given to you by Heaven.
I can't stand to hear it anymore.
For a mere face reader, how can you say such rude things to a son of the noble class?
Don't you know that you're in contempt of me and His Majesty?
The forehead that signifies luck of parents is dark...
It seems that a storm will come to Lord Kim soon.
If you change your mind, come look for me anytime.
If you keep moving your mouth so carelessly
you will end up paying for it someday.
How come you're here?
Did you come to my house?
I ran really late.
Were you waiting here?
We were supposed to meet somewhere else.
Were we?
I must've been confused since we planned it while we were drunk.
By the way, what's with your face?
Are you upset?
I'm not.
It's not that...
Sire, the whole city seems unsettled.
I heard it's about treason... What's going on right now?
Nothing will happen to you.
Nothing will happen to my father either, right?
Lord Kim will be safe, too.
I knew it.
Were you worried... that much?
I had a reason for it.
What's with tears all of a sudden...
Not a manly thing...
Why are you staring at me like that?
I'm fine now.
Ga Hee...
