My heart is not wrong.
I am in love with you.
I have fallen in love with you, Mr. Matchmaker.
♫ In the warm sunshine, ♫
♫ when I close my eyes ♫
♫ You blow towards me ♫
♫ So ardently ♫
♫ My heart desires ♫
Please don't let Mr. Matchmaker marry. ♫ Do you know that ♫
♫ Blindingly brilliant, ♫
♫ those beautiful days ♫ Please don't let Mr. Matchmaker marry.
♫ I still see them ♫
Did I pass?
♫ like a dream ♫
♫ I imagine you ♫
♫ The love that bloomed like parched flowers inside my parched self ♫
You have not passed.
You'll be let go if you fail again.
Fail? Did you even listen to what I had to say?
Excuse me, Mr. Matchmaker.
♫ This feeling which spread rosily ♫
♫ My hand which almost touches you ♫
♫ Do you know how my heart feels? ♫
♫ The heart which is etched by windblown petals ♫
Have you been well?
Where were you? I was looking for you for so long.
At this rate, all the floating balloons will run out. Let's go, Honey.
He's the scholar that lives at the courtesan house. Do you know him?
I don't know him.
Come buy!
Everyone has gone off on their own again.
Why am I always alone?
Thank goodness he's not here.
I thought I was going to die of nervousness.
But...
What should I do now?
I am in love with you.
I've fallen in love with you, Mr. Matchmaker.
Do you have some alcohol?
Of course. I always have alcohol ready.
-For the price of this drink, you must give me an answer. -Answer?
You must not marry the Vice Premier's daughter.
Why do you pay so much attention to this woman? She's ambitious and arrogant.
No one is enough for this bride, not even the king himself.
It's not that she's ambitious, she's a woman of many talents.
It's not that she's arrogant, she's just careful. And she is too good for the king.
It sounds like you know her extremely well.
Of course, I know her well.
Is there anyone in Hanyang I don't know about?
I'll fall for it once.
What side are you on?
When it comes to the queen's selection.
Are you on the side of the woman our king wants,
or the woman that suits him the best?
No. What side do you want it to be?
It seems I've already paid the price for my drink.
So if you're curious, ask the king himself.
But, the story of the dog and cat. How does it end?
I'm not sure.
If either party doesn't let go, they'll both die.
Episode 11 Lie.
Episode 11 Morning Glory.
Did you want to see me?
Would twice be enough?
Yes, Your Majesty.
If you meet my daughter, I will give my everything
to make sure you fully rise to power...
That is what I desire, but it's my duty to acquire it.
If I cannot do so, how can you say I have the qualifications of a king?
That is what I desire, but it's my daughter's duty.
If she cannot even achieve that herself,
how can she have the qualifications to oversee the palace?
But, your daughter and I will be meeting alone.
What do you desire?
I am in love with you.
I've fallen in love with you, Mr. Matchmaker.
Please don't let Mr. Matchmaker marry.
Expedite the royal wedding, as soon as possible.
I have another condition.
Hey, hey, you! I took someone as filthy as you
and transformed you into someone graceful. How dare you leave me behind?
This is what you call ungrateful.
But what about Matchmaker Ma?
Well, he went off to attend to marriage matters early in the morning.
We're so busy. I don't understand
why he insisted on doing this himself when he didn't need to.
If he doesn't like me, he doesn't like me. Is there any need for him to run away?
It should've turned out like this sooner.
Is there any need to go this far with the kind-hearted king?
His heart is already weighed down by the loss of that girl he cherished.
You're so naive.
The investigation regarding the assassination of the crown prince
has not been completed yet.
If we let him act as he wants, he could suspect us.
Do you think he'll be the kind-hearted king then?
What happened to the women chosen for the marriage selection process?
I told the selected women to enter the palace.
I will personally choose who will sit next to the king as well. Do not worry.
Ah, I don't know. If the teacher is absent, why should I study?
I knew I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't have.
Has something happened?
No, it hasn't.
Open your book. From today onward, I'm your substitute teacher.
What? What about Matchmaker Ma?
He said he'll be busy in the meantime, or he's pretending to be busy.
His Majesty enters.
Your Majesty, I'll assist you in taking off your robes.
I want to be alone.
-Everyone leave. -But the Prime Minister...
Didn't he say you need to leave?
Yes, Your Majesty.
What is the other condition?
I must leave the palace tonight.
As you can see, my hands and legs have been cut off.
May I ask you the reason why?
Outside the palace... I have left behind something really precious.
I will make preparations.
Are there any leads on my brother's investigation?
We're not on the stage of reporting anything yet.
But, if you give us a little more time. We will surely find the culprit.
An awaiting eunuch will be leading you outside the palace.
Ah, it's time for this guy to come.
I'll definitely see to the end of this today.
Three Months!
Ah, that little guy again.
I said it's not Three Months, it's Yoon Soo Yeon.
You should do this on your own now.
A noble lady's voice shouldn't carry itself through walls.
I told her so many times.
I am in love with you.
Have I passed?
You have not passed.
Because of that one thing you said,
I can't even look at you straight without being shaken.
Haven't I failed as your matchmaker?
Every time you visit, you come without warning.
Let's just say, I'm a regular.
He left something precious at the Flower Crew?
In the Prime Minister's son's hands?
What about the information on the Flower Crew?
Ma Hoon.
It's an agency that gained popularity three years ago.
It's a marriage agency comprised of male matchmakers.
The informant said all the details of the situation are written there.
What exactly was the king trying to get at a place like this?
Are you trying to sleep here again? I told you there's no more empty rooms.
Kim Soo...
Your Majesty.
It's been a long time, Mr. Matchmaker.
What has brought you to a place like this?
Lead us to a quiet place.
You will meet the Vice Premier's daughter?
How could you proceed with such an important meeting
without saying a word to us?
That's why I came here now to tell you.
How is my Gae Ddong doing?
She's doing very well, as if she's forgotten about you.
I'm relieved.
But, you should be a little nervous.
Due to having such exceptional teachers,
there are already individuals that are asking for her hand in marriage.
If there is anyone, let me know who they are.
What if I let you know?
Since he dared to desire the king's woman,
I thought I'd hack his body to pieces and destroy three generations of his family.
It's a joke.
Why should I worry about those things?
When I have such a trustworthy matchmaker.
In any case,
it'll be too difficult to find anyone to be your replacement right now.
Please withdraw your agreement to meet with her.
I'll do that.
I've been bored recently, but this sounds thrilling and good.
But instead, if you have a change of heart we can't be held responsible.
There's no way that will happen.
I won't give up on Gae Ddong under any circumstances.
So send this message to the men asking for her hand in marriage.
If they try to take Gae Ddong away from me,
they should be completely prepared for anything.
You're the one that told me if a dog develops feelings for a cat,
both of them would die.
What kind of thinking is that?
Even running far away would fall short.
That's why you should be prepared for death.
Without even that much preparation,
do you think the dog would have developed feelings for the cat?
Tell me your thoughts on what you find the most deep in this world?
I know you have asked this question to Queen Jeong Soon.
Just like Queen Jeong Soon's words, I also
think that a person's heart is the deepest place.
That's enough. You can all head out.
You should enter the palace immediately.
10,000 years!
10,000 years! 10,000 years! 10,000 years!
Kim Moon Seok, the provincial army commander
for the Western Province Gyeongsang with a force of 20 soldiers
defeated an invading force of Japanese in Yoopo and saved Ulsan.
With only 20 in your troop, you have defeated hundreds of foreigners.
Considering your accomplishments,
I reward you a horse from the royal stables
and offer you a drink.
Your majesty, what do you mean rewards? Instead of a reward,
I believe it's a right thing to take the responsibility about the civil war
and tighten discipline in the military.
If you cannot differentiate
those who deserve rewards from those who deserve punishments,
who will step into a war and fight for this nation?
Your Majesty, I believe a large reward is in order.
No, the Prime Minister's words are correct.
Instead of a reward, I should order a punishment.
Provincial Army Commander Kim Moon Seok.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Due to the disturbed state of the nation and because I am still weak,
I require security.
I know it will be quite burdensome,
but please be the head of my royal guard once more.
This is the punishment I am giving you.
Your Majesty!
I, Kim Moon Seok, will accept Your Majesty's orders.
His Majesty has such a loyal subject by his side.
Whether one becomes a loyal subject or a treacherous subject
always remains to be seen.
Prime Minister, even a meek-looking tiger
will bite its owner if it becomes too hungry. Be careful.
You shouldn't be so concerned, Vice Premier.
Either way, the queen selection process has already been decided.
So there's no need for you to make an effort for nothing.
Don't be so sure. Who knows?
There might be another lover that the king has set aside.
So watch over yourself on your way out.
That lowly bastard with no origin. How dare he?
Three Months, what are you doing in Hoon's room?
I'm just trying to catch someone.
Catch someone? Who are you trying to catch?
Be on your way.
Gae Ddong's Annals, page one:
the words 'giving up' is not in Gae Ddong's dictionary.
Let's wait and see who will win, Mr. Matchmaker.
That girl is definitely strange. Strange, strange.
Your skills have become more refined.
Since mine looks better, it looks like you must grant me a wish.
Please, tell me what it is.
What do you think about having a drink with your son today?
Father.
Father, drinking alcohol with you is definitely the best.
I heard about what's been happening.
You're enduring well.
This tracks down the missing funds that were allocated to the military.
Will you be able to take on the Prime Minister with this?
I think it's time to show your power.
I shall prepare.
Are you alright?
It looks as if you aren't feeling well.
I'm alright since you're by my side now, Father.
All I need now, is to bring Gae Ddong with me.
♫ At the end of my wait, you're always there ♫
♫ Behind my back, like a shadow that protects me ♫
♫ I remember that moment ♫
Rock-Head, you always cause problems with your head.
♫ My heart is still set on that day and place ♫
♫ When I look into your two eyes ♫
What should I do with you?
♫ Worried that it might all disappear one morning ♫
♫ The you within my heart ♫
Did you just hit me?
Hit you? Who hit you?
Your lips are trembling, so you're definitely telling a lie.
Just wipe the drool off your lips.
For someone trying to become a noble lady, what kind of look is this?
Where are you running off to?
Please be in charge of my lessons once more.
Didn't Matchmaker Do tell you?
I have more than three marriages that I'm backlogged on.
But I miss you.
Because these are feelings I suddenly developed, I'll take care of it.
So...
just don't run away.
Please don't go anywhere.
And stay by my side.
Your Highness.
The Minister of War was arrested, I heard.
Joon Hyeon, do you mean?
The Minister of War, Joon Hyeon of the Yoon family
has used his position to sell government officials' position,
using weapons stored in storage for emergencies for his personal use
to satisfy his selfish interests and desires.
Bong-Bu-Dong: Storing weapons for emergency use during war.
This is a serious offense that endangers the safety of our nation,
so please reveal this explicitly
and correct it.
Your Majesty, the Minister of War, Joon Hyeon of the Yoon family
is my nephew, and the younger brother of the Queen Mother.
He has committed this bad act due to my unworthiness,
-allow me to take responsibility... -That cannot be.
Why would the Minister violate the law, if he didn't trust someone to cover for him?
This is not a proper investigation.
Vice Premier's words have validity.
For the Prime Minister to investigate the Minister of War
is a conflict of interest,
so Vice Premier, please
investigate this, and correctly reveal the Minister's guilt or innocence.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will follow your command.
Your Highness?
Queen, this will strengthen your lungs...
Could I drink that at a moment like this?
How can you just stand there and watch it happen?
Please just ignore this incident.
His Majesty is trying to grab our ankles using this incident.
Did the stored weapons only go into Joon Hyeon's pockets?
The arrowheads that were stolen
and the army was gathered to assassinate the crown prince,
all came there from the stored weapons of the Minister of War.
I carried him on my back since he was young, I raised him like my own son.
Please take measures, Uncle.
His Majesty has accepted your request.
In the month of Imshin, on the Gye day,
because people are watching, at soosi.
Soosi... from 7pm to 9 pm.
Thank you.
I thought you would be happy, but your face looks as if you're being sold off.
No. Then I will begin to prepare.
Ji Hwa, this is the one and only time you will threaten your father.
Did you say you didn't like that a woman's fate was like a "gourd?"
But what can you do, when you were born that way?
I will give the biggest shade in all of Joseon.
I will decide for myself where my shade will be.
Just don't ruin the family name,
my beloved daughter.
So what are you saying, Big Unni?
Kim Soo, he was just a bumpkin blacksmith, but he has a fiancee?
And Unni Do Joon is going to meet that fiancee,
and Kim Soo is meeting with Three Months instead?
Has he gone completely crazy?
I would be careful what I say about him, if I were you.
So what if he's noble now? What's he going to do? I'm Go Yeong Soo.
What a good thing that he doesn't have
three generations of his family to be destroyed?
Whatever happens to you from now on, "Flower Crew has nothing to do with it."
That is what you must say.
What are you saying?
Where are you all going now?
Why am I always left alone?
Where are they all going?
Three Months, you're going to meet Kim Soo?
Soo?
You cannot have used all those weapons to invade the courtesan house.
Where were the others used?
With the weapons that were embezzled, were arrowheads purchased?
That's enough with the questions, so you can stop.
Vice Premier, you should think about the aftermath, too.
How about worrying about your own aftermath?
The man who stole an arrowhead ended up dying in a prison cell.
Am I the same as such lowly people?
I changed Joseon's history with this hand of mine.
Am I really going?
Why are you asking me?
Can you feel that?
Isn't it beating so fast?
Mr. Matchmaker, didn't you say this?
That this place is equally available to everyone.
I'm not Yoon Soo Yeon right now, and I'm not Soo's fiancee.
I'm just a woman who loves you, Mr. Matchmaker.
So, Mr. Matchmaker, you should be fair and respond.
Your heart is beating so fast, too.
Mr. Matchmaker, you're not a teacher right now,
and you're not the son of a high-ranking official.
You're just a man who loves a woman.
So, am I really going?
You...
didn't you take charge of this marriage
in order to protect our newbie from your father?
I won't give up on Gae Ddong under any circumstances.
So what do you want me to do?
You said you would live as Gae Ddong so you can find your orabeoni,
but you wanted a new identity so you can be with Kim Soo.
And now? You're in love with me?
It's not like that, but my Orabeoni...
How can I believe what you say?
I told you, I only trust what I can see with my eyes.
A love that changes back and forth so easily, is that your true feelings?
♫ The day I longed for ♫
♫ as if mocking me ♫
♫ will disappear ♫
You really didn't have anything in there, after all.
I was mistaken, Mr. Matchmaker.
♫ like the sun and moon cannot rise together, ♫
♫ in the end ♫
♫ we cannot meet ♫
♫ in the moonlight and sunlight ♫
♫ I try calling your name ♫
♫ I live for the happy dream that ♫
♫ we might be together someday ♫
Gae Ddong.
Oh, Soo.
I thought you would like these, so at the palace...
I mean, I picked these from a pond near the palace.
Thank you.
Haven't you left yet?
Don't worry about my Gae Ddong, and please be on your way.
I will come to get you after one hour.
I will take her home.
Gae Ddong.
How do you like those flowers?
They are pretty.
Let's go.
She was acting like she couldn't go, just a little while ago.
Why are you...?
Someone else is meant to be here, so please leave now.
I think I'm the one meant to be here.
Look here...
But aren't you the one who asked to meet me?
When did I?
I am Soo of the Yi family.
I am the "pinnacle of the mountain," the one you were looking for.
How can that be?
Where would have I gotten all that information I gave you so far?
Will you take the state exam that you didn't take?
It's not that I didn't take it, I cannot take it.
His name is Soo.
As you know already, the 'Yi' is for plum tree, and 'Soo' is for water.
He was born in the year of Jeonyu,
in the month of Eulsa, and the day of Gihae.
A man who just collects information day and night in a courtesan house,
what would you know?
Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness from before.
Well, I was planning to punish you.
Why in here?
I wanted to check if you are born in a great family indeed.
Sit here, please.
You need to stick it together well to get precious pottery.
I better make that again.
So what if it isn't perfect? It has its valuable meaning on its own.
It's not important what shape it is born in,
what you put in it, that is what changes its fate.
♫ And swallowing words that you really wanted to say ♫
Don't hate it because it's ugly, and please put something precious in it.
♫ Your wound that is just like mine ♫
♫ Swallowing words again that I needed to say ♫
♫ because it hurts, it hurts ♫
♫ I endured again, my heart ♫
This is my response. ♫ because of you ♫
The response feels not quite enough.
♫ that one person ♫
Soo.
I have something to tell you.
-Soo. -Doesn't it feel like we've returned to the past?
Like when we lived in Bukjeong Village.
Soo, you see...
I don't know what you are going to say, but tell me next time.
I don't have time today. I have to return soon.
No. I have to tell you now.
Soo, our marriage...
So...
Just a moment, Soo...
Tell me next time. Not today, but next time.
I don't have time today, Gae Ddong.
He is a king, but he has time to go out gallivanting?
He has such free time?
He should be looking after his people instead of playing.
Am I not the one you were waiting for?
You look like a husband waiting for his wife who ran away.
And you look like a child who has the whole world,
but is afraid to lose it.
I will lose it soon, I'm sure.
I've heard that the Queen Mother already selected the women
as candidates for queen.
So if our newbie and Lady Kang are both rejected, what do we do?
You seem rather happy about that prospect.
Why would I?
But is it really okay to not tell Gae Ddong about this?
If she finds out that Kim Soo is the king...
Unnis?
Unnis, what did you just say?
Kim Soo, that guy... I mean, that man, he is the king?
Why are you telling me that now?
We are ruined.
Lord Prime Minister has come.
Prime Minister,
what brings you here so late at night?
And where did you go so late at night?
If you knew, then it wouldn't be traveling incognito.
I will think of it as a small aberration for a young king
who misses his previous life as a private citizen.
I will be understanding about it.
But the Queen Mother is very distressed these days
regarding the Minister of War.
This too, was a small aberration of a foolish minister,
so Your Majesty, please...
Due to this Minister's actions, during the last war,
there wasn't enough food and many soldiers died as a result.
So is it still a small aberration of a minister?
That girl named Gae Ddong,
aren't you curious about how she's doing?
I certainly hope that she is living well.
Prime Minister,
if you want to see her so much,
please look for her.
If you threaten one of my people once more,
I will really desire to become a grand king.
Do you understand?
What happened to that wench, Gae Ddong?
We are looking for her, but I think someone is playing a trick on us.
It seems that the king is making the moves himself.
I will give you more soldiers, so you must find that wench
before the king does, and bring her to me.
Yes, Lord.
His Majesty wants to get on the same boat with us.
Things are chaotic because of the Minister of War, so now is perfect timing.
Everyone prepare a petition.
Don't hate it because it's ugly, and please put something precious in it.
Gae Ddong!
You are doing this again, again!
Gae Ddong!
She's not Gae Ddong!
He's doing it again.
Sorry about that.
He can't forget his dead sister,
so whenever he sees a young girl, he does that.
Come this way please.
Here.
Just one minute. If Madam knows about this, I will be severely punished.
Thank you.
Brother, this is a birthday meal from Gae Ddong.
Go ahead and eat.
Good person.
You are a good person too, my Orabeoni.
Why did you summon me?
The King told me to thank you
for taking care of the valuable thing very well.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Why don't you introduce me to the King?
Isn't the choice of future Queen the most important marriage?
Through you, Lord, I hope to make even a small contribution.
If Prime Minister finds out you met with the King separately,
what will he think?
So you tell me.
You, which side are you?
On your dad's side or the King?
I'm on the side of my client.
Be careful.
The Prime Minister won't go easy on you just because you are his son.
I believe the Prime Minister does not have any sons.
Brother,
Gae Ddong
will become a noble lady and come back for you.
I want to be a noble lady.
Matchmaker, will you make me a noble lady?
Why?
There is someone.
I want to meet.
The person you wanted to meet was your brother?
Eat slowly.
Queen Mother, we must have the royal wedding soon
and confirm the succession of the throne,
and restore the stability of the royal household.
Please make haste!
Vice Premier's words are proper.
In order to not disrupt the steering of our nation,
please hurry with the selection of the queen.
His Majesty is already 23 years old, so I will select candidates for his queen.
Please present your daughters from the age of 15 to 25.
-Yes, Your Highness. -Yes, Your Highness.
When did you come here?
The reason you wanted to be a noble lady
is because of your brother in Vice Premier's house?
How did you know?
Why did you not tell me? Till now, why did you not tell me?
Why not?
Matchmaker, I liked you so much that I couldn't tell you.
I didn't want to leave you.
If I find my orabeoni, you would tell me to leave.
I'm a burden to you already. If I ask you to take Orabeoni in too
I would be a real burden.
I like you so much, Matchmaker.
I missed you Matchmaker.
I wanted to stay with you longer, so I didn't want to be a burden to you.
♫ This love, I'll bet you didn't know ♫
♫ My heart is the same as that day ♫
♫ Looking into your eyes ♫
You made me so surprised. How can you do that?
If surprised, this will stop the hiccups.
♫ This love, I'll bet you didn't know ♫
♫ in my heart even one minute, one second, feels like one year ♫
♫ I want to send my heart to the sky of tomorrow's evening ♫
♫ and wish that it might reach you somehow ♫
♫ that is how I will send you my heart to you every day ♫
♫ as I long for you inside my heart ♫
Flower Crew Preview.
About yesterday...
It's my mistake. I'll do what I want.
Soo, I have something to say.
You promised!
Marriages have been forbidden by royal order.
What to do with our Gae Ddong?
Whoever she is, I'll expose her to the world.
I'll arrest him right away.
Get yourself acknowledged at the Selection of the Queen,
where all noble ladies will be present.
You still haven't told her about the king?
Gae Ddong, I have something to say.
♫ I am so weak sometimes ♫
