I have a marriage proposal for you.
What?
Hey, come here. Do you know how hard it was to repair the mess you made?
Stone Head!
So why do you lure people with a lie?
This swindle.
It's not a lie.
This is the marriage proposal that the blacksmith Yi Soo
from Bukjeong Village sent to you.
-Hey! -Oh.
What are you doing here?
Soo.
I can't get married.
I used all my money searching for my brother,
and I have to find a house for us to live in once I find him.
I'm someone who earns just enough to eat for the day.
How could I get married?
I can't make you carry this baggage too.
♫ Do you know it? ♫
♫ Blindingly brilliant, those beautiful days ♫
Gae Ddong.
Yeah?
Do you know why there are two in a couple?
So that they can carry each other's baggage.
If one of them tries to carry it alone
it's too burdensome.
♫ inside my parched self ♫
♫ the love that bloomed like flowers ♫
Your baggage as well,
put it here for a while.
♫ Even if time flows ♫
♫ it cannot flow away, this feeling which spreads rosily ♫
Like that,
let's live together.
Soo.
Please be careful.
Yeon Hwa, the beat is too slow.
Clean this once more for me.
Hak Soo, take good care of the folding screen.
Please take good care.
Don't worry.
Are you nervous?
Dad.
I feel extremely happy.
You like it that much?
Ah binyeo (Korean traditional ornamental hairpin)!
I forgot Mother's binyeo!
Hurry up, the wedding will start soon!
There we go!
The foods are ready? Almost.
What are you doing?
I took off my shoes.
People will think you're the new groom.
What can I do? I can't hide this stylishness.
Did you see the fake Miss?
What good would it be to see. A rock is just a rock.
No. This time she looks like the real deal.
Go check.
-No need. -Don't be like that, go see.
Go check out my excellent handiwork.
That's good.
Matchmaker, right there.
A little higher.
No a little lower.
I even came here.
What can I do? It's so itchy, and I don't have a helper.
Gosh, if I get married twice, it'll be the death of me!
Seems it's your destiny to never become a genteel lady your whole life.
Sorry about that.
That thing, that issue...
-That issue? -About the Miss of Lord Oh's family.
You acted like you wouldn't even associate with a merchant like me.
Why did you entrust this wedding to me?
I thought you were a greedy swindler,
but it seems you're just a picky merchant.
Others would have just closed their eyes and pretended not to see.
Because they won't be caught, and even if they're caught it's not their business.
However, you didn't avoid it, Mr. Matchmaker.
That's why I said I'd do it.
I felt like I could trust a marriage brokered by such a picky matchmaker.
Did I do well?
I just accepted that guy because he was such an annoyance.
This marriage, do your best to make it work and live well.
Oh, what should we do?
Rain...
Rain, is it raining?
There's nothing to worry about.
We put up shelters so the wedding will proceed as planned.
That's not it...
When it rains, I'm always unlucky.
Are you worried your groom might run away?
It's a sun shower.
Since you are getting married,
the rain clouds are dropping by like a good guest should.
Don't be scared.
If anything happens, I'll take care of it.
The best matchmaker in Joseon is here with you.
For real?
You can't take back the promise once made it.
Gosh, you're kind, then rude...
You are so wishy-washy.
Mom should have been here.
Uh?
Gae Ddong is afraid of the rain.
Who are you?
Why are you doing this to me?
Who are you?
Let go off me! What are you?
Forgive our rudeness for a moment.
Let's go, hurry.
What's up with this shower?
It's a sun shower, it's a good sign.
-Where is the groom? -He forgot something important,
so he went to get it.
-He's taking too long. -His place isn't that close, as you know.
He'll be back soon.
I'll go check on him.
Soo.
Soo!
Father! Father!
Let's go!
-Soo! -Father!
Father!
Soo!
I'll not let you take my son.
Out of my way!
I must go to the palace.
He did.
What if something happened to him?
I'm sure he is fine.
I should go find what's going on.
Troublemaker, are you there?
This is... what on earth happened?
Rock head.
I must cancel the wedding first.
Follow me.
We must cancel this wedding.
Now? What do you mean by cancelling wedding?
Did something happen?
-Kim Soo. He's gone. -What?
-What do you mean he's gone? -His father wasn't there, either.
What about the money? All the catering foods, the wedding costumes,
and the high labour costs! Who's going to pay for the everything?
I told you he should pay in advance, but you let him pay afterward?
That's not important now!
What could be more important?
Has something happened?
A bride mustn't step out before the ceremony.
Is my Soo not here yet?
He's just very shy.
-I'll go get him. -Wait inside.
-I'll go get him. -How could you bring him? He ran away!
What did you say?
What do you mean Soo ran away?
No, that can't be.
Oh, my money. That was all I had.
Kim!
I'm ruined.
They say you can know what's in deep waters,
but you can never know what someone is really thinking!
How could Kim stab me in the back?
How could they take all of your money and flee on the wedding day? What a shame.
Oh, no, that young bride is abandoned on her wedding day.
He did not abandon me!
That's why the groom ran away.
He ran away because of her temper. No wonder he ran away.
He had a reason. It's so obvious.
No. That's not true!
Don't try to deny it.
My Soo would never do something like that.
Something must've happened to him.
You're in cahoots with him, aren't you? Give me my money.
-Give me back my money! -Stop it.
-My money! -Didn't you hear me say to stop?
-Are you okay? -It's not okay!
What is this? Do you know how much this cost?
This wedding outfit is very expensive!
We are completely ruined!
-Yeong Soo! -Yeong Soo, are you okay?
Yeong Soo!
What did I say?
I said I'm unlucky on rainy days.
Episode 2 True Heart.
Hydrangea.
Hey there!
I'm on my way to your son's wedding, let's go together.
Mr. Hong, let me borrow your horse.
Hey, Mr. Kim, why can't we go together?
Mr. Kim, the wedding is not that way!
Was Mr. Kim always that good at horse riding?
He was just surprised. He will wake up soon.
This is me just being surprised?
It looks like we won't even get one penny.
Enough.
Now, calm down and breathe in, then breathe out.
Ugh! Unni!
What are we going to do?
I will pay you back.
If my Soo really ran away,
I will pay all of that back.
So please give me more time.
Is anyone here?
I heard the wedding for Mr. Kim's son is at Oh-Si (1PM to 3PM).
This is strange. Why is the wedding hall in this state?
Mr. Kim isn't here yet? He left a while ago.
You saw Mr. Moon Seok? Where did he go?
Yeah, he borrowed my horse a while ago.
How much is it to rent this horse?
No way. Are you going to ride wearing that?
People will think you're off to catch your runaway groom.
You're right that I'm on my way to catch him.
Stay here.
I borrowed this first...
Why are you here?
I also have more than one or two pennies to receive from that guy.
-I will repay that. -How can I believe you?
The Flower Crew Annals Chapter 17: Wedding Expenses, Amendment.
Starting today, payment for the wedding will be received in advance.
What are you saying? You're such a wordy scholar.
Oh?
Why this...
What are you doing? Why aren't you grabbing on?
Grab tightly.
Who are you? Who are you?
Your Majesty, you have arrived.
Minister Ma Bong Deok greets Your Majesty.
I am not Your Majesty. You have the wrong person.
I am Kim Soo, I work at the blacksmith's in North Village.
-So please hurry and take me home. -I apologize,
but that cannot be done, Your Majesty.
I'm saying you have the wrong person.
Over there.
I specifically ordered you to escort him here carefully.
I apologize.
I... just want to go home...
This is the palace, and from now on this will be your home, Your Majesty.
A royal heir that was born in a common home?
He is a commoner.
What nonsense is this?
He is right.
An offspring unknown to the royal family has suddenly appeared?
This is utterly unreasonable.
Let us summon Prince Yeon Hoo from China.
We need to restore the royal stability as soon as possible.
Vice-Premier, what you are saying is utterly unreasonable.
The king's flesh and blood offspring is in this palace,
why would you bring Prince Yeon Hoo?
How can a common blacksmith be the flesh and blood of His Majesty?
Do you have evidence?
Mayor, perhaps you brought just any random person because of your desire for power?
Any random person, how dare you?
Be careful what you say, Vice-Premier.
The evidence is here.
Isn't he the head of the Royal Guards who disappeared some 20 years ago?
What shall we do with the leader of the protectors?
He isn't someone who will bow out easily.
Don't worry, he'll come on his own two feet
and give us the most precious jewel.
Shin Moon Seok offers his greeting to His Majesty-in-waiting.
Show the evidence.
These are the secret orders from His Majesty
requesting me to take good care of the crown prince.
"Yi" (surname)
Someone who know how to enjoy the little things,
please raise him as such an ordinary man.
I will do so, Your Majesty.
I hope it will not be necessary, but...
if that child becomes of use to this country.
I hope you'll then become
his loyal servant.
Can you do it?
Yes, Your Majesty.
As water flows...
Like the flowing water...
Please grow up in such a peaceful way.
That's why his name is Soo.
Yi Soo.
I, Sin Moon Seok, accept this order from Your Majesty.
Yi Soo.
The late king's sole bloodline is Yi Soo, by his request in death.
Therefore, Yi Soo is the late king's son.
Prepare for a prompt coronation.
We thank you, Your Highness.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, are you looking for something?
This place is the palace
and this is your home, where Your Majesty will live from now on.
Something's wrong, this can't be.
Is Father alright?
And what about Gae Ddong?
They must all be looking for me.
Lee Soo!
Where are you!
Soo!
Kim Soo!
If I catch you, you will really get it.
Soo! Kim Soo!
You're dead if I find you!
Kim Soo!
His name is Kim Soo, have you seen him?
Do you know Kim Soo from the South?
Excuse me, I'm looking for this man.
Please take a look.
Do you know Kim Soo from the South?
Excuse me!
Have you seen this man?
Excuse me!
I'm looking for a man who looks like this.
He looks like this...
Soo!
Kim Soo.
Take a good look.
I think he went that way, to the palace.
-What? -That's him.
Why is this smell so terrible?
It's the horse-oil lamp only used in the palace.
You can smell this terrible smell from 4 km away.
Sure, sure.
I think that lady was mistaken.
This road comes to an end,
so would he have gone to the mountains on a horse, or into the palace?
Ahjussi, he's never even been to the capital city before, let alone the palace.
I'd rather believe they went into the mountains.
So, just where did they go to?
Your Majesty, have you been well?
This Sin Moon Seok
will carry out your order.
9 o'clock!! (curfew hours)
9 o'clock!
We'll take two rooms.
Give us one, one!
How can you save money if you keep wasting it like this? Be frugal.
It takes a lifetime to earn money, but spending it can take just one second.
In all my life, I've never seen a maiden
asking for one room while with a man.
You must be newlyweds!
That must be it! You're newlyweds!
Follow me this way, hurry!
I still believe we should use separate rooms.
It's just for one night, and all we will do is sleep.
Do you know how much we can save?
Don't worry. I will never lay a finger on you.
Here you go. Sorry for making you wait for long.
This is a special drink I made for newly-wed couple.
I call it "daddy wine."
I hope you live happily ever after.
Stamina!
A drink?
-Come over here. -Eh? - Let's take off.
What?
Don't. Don't come near me!
Turn around, so I can take it off.
Take off what?
Your hairpin.
Your groom should be the one doing this, this one.
You should've told me at first.
I'll find a husband who will properly raise your hair sooner or later.
Don't say that.
My Soo will return. You can help me again at that time.
He won't return. So you should find a way for yourself.
I'll go sleep separately, so get some sleep.
Can't you stay?
If you leave right now,
it'll really seem like I've been abandoned.
Since it's a waste not to drink, let's have a taste.
Why are you smiling?
This is the one and only cup, and I'm drinking with you.
These cups are for married couples.
Married couples aren't the only 'one and only' things in this world.
We are one and only comrades.
Comrades?
Comrades searching for my Soo.
I'm not searching but trying to catch him.
Comrades, the first shot should be done in one take.
One more cup?
Please don't touch me.
Your Majesty, you must wear it.
Please let me out of here. I have somewhere I must go.
You cannot leave.
Father.
Father, aren't you hurt?
Father, we need to leave. What about Gae Ddong? Is she all right?
People keep addressing me 'Your Majesty'.
But it doesn't make sense I'm from a royal family.
Father.
It's not true. I'm your son, Kim Soo.
You are the son of the late king, Yi Soo.
So, you must get dressed.
Father.
Everyone leave us.
Soo.
These are my last words as your father, so listen carefully.
Once you don that robe,
you cannot go back to who you were.
What do you mean?
This is your fate.
It was your destiny from the moment you were born.
So, you must accept it.
Your Majesty.
Please
become a wise king.
Your Majesty, I give you this royal seal.
I hereby announce that Lee Soo, who will continue the legacy of Joseon Dynasty,
has been appointed king of Joseon.
-Hail the king! -Long live the king!
Hail the king!
Long live the king!
-Hail the king! -Long live the king!
Why did I bring that thing with me?
You haven't forgotten the promise, have you?
You said you'd hire a female matchmaker. I'll be sure to find someone this time.
They say, strike while the 'lion' is hot.
It's not lion but 'iron'.
So will you keep your promise or not?
Whatever.
Then I'll proceed with this.
About the stone head.
Why are bringing her up again? She is such bad luck.
She may lose everything overnight because she met the wrong man.
I really feel sorry for the pretty girl.
What if she hangs herself?
Ah!
What if we have to hold a funeral for her?
Hens!
She wouldn't be here due to her distraught situation.
Where are you going?
-Please pick out something good. -There she is.
Everything is just one yang regardless of its size.
Isn't it amazing?
Have you lost your mind?
Otherwise how could you sell the dress from your own cancelled wedding?
Gosh, you're so unlucky.
Gee, you've lost your mind.
Hey, matchmaker! Matchmaker! Matchmaker!
Come here. Why don't you buy this?
I tried too hard to get it for you, and what? Just one yang?
This wedding gown is really cheap. It can't get cheaper than this.
What are you waiting for? You should buy this one. You don't like this one?
How about this? Isn't it good?
If not, how about this?
Dried persimmons. They look really yummy.
You want one, don't you? You should buy them.
-We enjoyed the food. -Please come again.
Let's stop by again next time.
Good bye.
Do you think it makes sense to sell these to me?
I don't need those things any more,
but you need to use them often. I sold and you got them at cheap price.
What's the problem?
Eat, just eat already.
You're really lucky.
They are in mint condition, but you got them for less than half price.
What did the Police Bureau say?
They said I should go ask the local government.
And the local government told me to go back to the police bureau.
Someone is missing, and yet no one helps me to find him.
Everyone is telling me to go somewhere else.
I told you I'd pay back for what Soo owes you.
I won't ask you to take responsibility for it, so take it back.
I'll make Soo pay me back twofold, so take it.
Why are you doing this?
Soo and I are family.
No matter what happens, family will always stand by my side.
You'd better take it before I change my mind.
Move over.
He's so handsome.
Are you all right?
Didn't you put your foot out on purpose to trip me?
Did you notice it?
So that I have a chance to strike up a conversation with you.
My lady.
Isn't the young master so handsome?
Even the most beautiful flower falls in 10 days.
The man who has nothing but good looks is useless.
I don't know who will marry him,
but I truly pity her.
I'll do it myself.
Your Majesty, I'll help you undress.
I can do it myself, too.
His Majesty shall enter.
Welcome, Your Majesty.
Since you grew up outside of the palace,
you must be having a hard time adjusting to the palace.
Think of me as your mother, and you can count on me.
I'm your mother, aren't I?
-Right? -Of course, Your Majesty.
Which direction is Bookjeong Village?
It is that direction, Your Majesty.
It's truly far from here.
Will a hundred-steps,
no, will a thousand-steps get me there?

What are these?
I was forced to buy them. I fell for a trick.
But you'd never fall for anything.
By the way, aren't these ours?
Did you buy these from Gae Ddong?
She was so pathetic.
She has to sell these to survive. I think you did the right thing.
I heard she collects and sells arrows from the hunting grounds. These are the arrows.
I think you were ripped off. This one is dark.
Is this defective?
Because of poison.
Poison? Where did you get this?
From the stone head, of course.
An arrow with poison means it wasn't meant to be used on animals.
Who would poison an animal he's going to eat?
It has been planned for hunting a person.
An arrow used to hunt a person. It's creepy,
But very interesting. It's tempting.
Why don't I investigate where this comes from?
If you'd like.
What's the use of investigating something defective?
When is the interview for this?
It's 11am. Don't forget.
Everything is good. You don't have to worry about anything now.
His Majesty is in our hands.
But he keeps insisting on going back to his previous home.
He doesn't seem to be comfortable in the palace yet.
He was brought here while preparing for his wedding, so that's understandable.
He lost his bride overnight.
He must be so heartbroken.
To get over a woman, he needs another woman.
Court Lady Choi.
-Yes, Your Highness. -Assemble the court ladies.
Your Majesty.
Come here, Your Majesty.
Stop it.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, let's have fun.
Oh.
Your Majesty.
They are the prettiest girls in the country.
He probably needs more time.
I still have one last thing left to try.
I like the scent and the view, this must be paradise.
How do you like my scent today? I blended scents together.
When these ladies smell so nice, why would I smell you?
I hope Hoon will like at least one of these ladies.
Maybe.
Sachets from Naseong, sachets.
Sachets from Naseong.
Smells wonderful.
You should try this.

-Begin, please. -I can't hear you.
Not accepted.
I'm Lee So Hyeon from Jang Gol village.
Begin.
How beautiful. I say yes.
I say yes too.
Not for me.
Next.
I say yes.
-Me too. -No!
Next.
-Me too. -No!
There's no more!
Unni, are you actually planning to hire someone?
Stone Head? What are you doing here?
I told her to come to the interview.
Why?
He misinformed you. You may leave now.
I think I'm in the right place.
You want to be interviewed?
It's written here. Who is good at this job and diligent.
Especially, it is preferred if you are beautiful.
I'm perfect! Give me the job.
I'll do my best at whatever task you give me.
I say no!
Why? She is pretty. I say yes.
Go now. I'll give you some money for the interview.
Why not me?
Stone Head, do you even know what matchmaker is?
I am not aware of it, but I know how it feels to be an abandoned woman.
You have no idea how it feels like, do you?
I know that feeling better than anyone else.
I'll do my best so that no one gets abandoned at her wedding.
With those intentions, won't it be enough?
Go for now, we'll let you know the result later.
Unni, let's talk.
Why the heck are you doing, Unni?
-What? -You were shaken up by the Stone Head's words.
You are usually very good at separating emotions from business.
What's wrong with you?
I made a fair decision separate from my emotions. "The work is too hard."
"There is too much work. I can't go to any rough place."
They are all picky and make excuses. Isn't she better than them?
We are people who must give blessings to our clients.
How will we run our business with the unlucky Stone Head?
I'm going to quit if you hire her.
I'm serious.
-What's wrong? -Big disaster.
We have to leave this place.
I heard someone is secretly looking for the source of the arrowheads.
It's a matter of time before he finds out we filched and sold them.
Don't worry.
Even if someone finds out, we have someone powerful watching out backs.
Don't be such cowards over a couple of arrowheads.
It may not be as simple as it seems.
The arrowhead
was covered with poison.
There is no good in being caught, so let's leave the capital for now.
That's a good idea.
But what about the Gae Ddong or So Ddong's case? She asked you to find her brother.
How could I find a slave who went missing 10 years ago?
What if she reports you to the government office?
She can't. Gae Ddong, that girl, ran away after burning her slave ownership paper.
That's why she asked me to find her brother,
instead of reporting the brother missing.
Let's go then.
Where are going in a hurry?
How is the search for my brother going?
I almost found your brother. Don't worry.
Really? Thank you so much.
Oh, no need for that.
I should get going. Please let go of me.
Then, go safely.
This arrowhead is a very common kind sold in the market.
There is no place that doesn't use this arrowhead in Joseon.
Is that so? How do you know so many things, sweety?
Did you hear anything else?
The Vice-Premier's people also asked about this arrowhead.
The Vice-Premier?
Thank you, you can go back in.
Get out!
Please... oh, oh.
How can you send me back to the police bureau?
How can you keep doing this? You did this to me the last time.
Someone has gone missing! The least that you can do is pretend to look for him!
How many times has it been? Please open the door!
His name is Kim Soo! Look here!
Is it raining outside?
It just began raining.
Our pretty maiden, I'm worried she may catch a cold.
It even rained on her wedding day.
It rained on her wedding day?
-That Stone Head? -Yes.

Get up.
-I'm fine. -I told you to get up.
I'm fine. It's just rain, it's not a big deal.
How can you be so stubborn?
I call you Stone Head, so did you think you are really made of stone?
I am really fine. I told you I'm fine!
Come to your senses. Your groom has really run away.
How long will you stubbornly wait for him?
I would rather he ran away.
I really wish that he did run away, and was happier to live without me.
If that was what happened, I could just forget
and move on with my life.
But if my Soo was kidnapped or something, then what shall I do?
What if he's gone missing like my Orabeoni?
Then what shall I do?
So I have to at least confirm it, don't I?
Your Highness, last night, at His Majesty's bedchambers...
Who is it?
Your Majesty.
I apologize.
I've committed a sin punishable by death, Your Majesty.
Please don't come closer.
Even I have principles and integrity that I must preserve.
So please do not come closer.
This is an order.
Principles and integrity...
To a king, principles and integrity, is that even valid?
This is all because of that girl he left behind in his previous private life.
So what must we do now?
Now let's try things my way.
His Highness had a girl that he almost married.
We must get rid of her.
Do you have something else to take from me?
What's up this late, are you not sleeping?
Go find her.
Hold on, wait.

Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Preview
I am considering using you as a matchmaker for the time being.
Really, you're allowing her to live here for an indefinite period of time?
So you did not see the King's countenance yourself?
People were hurt? Who?
She is an apprentice who can be fired at any time.
Stop sticking your nose in it.
Mr. Matchmaker, you will someday really get it
because of that hard heart of yours.
