You will not be taking this girl anywhere.
-I said to let her go. -I cannot!
You can never take her, Your Majesty.
Please let go, Matchmaker.
And Soo,
I'm sorry
that I couldn't keep my promise to marry you.
But Soo,
I can't go to you.
I didn't become a noble lady to marry you.
This marriage has ended.
Thank you for helping me find Soo.
Because of you, I found Soo and my brother
so now I'll go back to where I belong.
Where are you talking about?
I'm not sure.
But I don't seem to belong to any of these sides.
Please continue your conversation.
My opinion isn't needed for this marriage anyway, right?
Gae Ddong!
Are you satisfied?
Matchmaker.
For the matchmaking fee I didn't receive, will you take this instead?
I will take whatever punishment you choose but...
please let go of Gae Ddong.
I cannot.
The Prime Minister knows about Gae Ddong.
He's behind the crown prince's death and the attempts against Gae Ddong's life.
How can you be sure?
He's my father.
The closer that Gae Ddong is to you, the more dangerous it will become.
Is the only person that I'm fighting really
the Prime Minister?
Everything is up to you.
Just this once, can you concede to me?
I will act as though I haven't heard anything.
I will protect Gae Ddong. You should protect yourself.
This is a royal command.
I cannot,
Your Majesty.
Why are you being so strange lately? Have you done something wrong?
After the event, I will tell you everything.
Regardless of what I tell you, will you forgive me?
I'll take you home.
When did you find out
that Soo is the king?
It must have been a while ago.
That's why you said you'd make me into a noble lady.
When I said I loved you, how foolish was I?
Why didn't you stop me from submitting a selection application?
Let go!
How could I stop you? You said you had to save your older brother.
How can I keep you with me when you say you want to go back to your past?
You should have still told me
before you made me feel confused about my feelings with nonsense like that.
"I'll stay by your side."
Before I deluded myself thinking those words were the whole world.
Gae Ddong...
I'm glad. I was getting tired of acting like a noble lady anyway.
Living as Gae Ddong is better than living in the palace.
Gae Ddong -
I want to stop this foolish noble lady game.
In my life,
there is no such thing as a next opportunity.
Episode 14 - Remorse.
Episode 14 Elsholtzia splendens Shiny mint.
The one who met the king wasn't my daughter but
the wench Gae Ddong that he was hiding?
I also didn't know it was the King, at that time.
But the head of that Flower Crew must have known.
Big Unni is not at fault, we only did what the King asked us.
Please spare me, My Lord.
What would I get from killing you?
Thank you, my lord.
But, do not tell anyone that I know the truth.
Neither the King nor the Flower Crew or that girl, no one must know.
If you divulge this to anyone,
I will also divulge your secret.
Someone who was an executioner.
I'm sure you don't want to return to that position, do you?
Yes. Definitely not.
There's already a nominee. How could Gae Ddong become the queen?
When she fails in the selection, we will find a much better man for her.
That will be better.
That will be better. We will be fine.
Next chance.
Unnis! Unnis!
Did you hear about my impressive action at the palace?
Lady Yoon's shoes disappeared and I just blocked His Majesty's entrance.
Did Gae Ddong find out the king's identity?
She didn't just find out... at the perfect time, the king came in to rescue her.
It finished a while ago. Where have you been?
Who do you think I am? I am the most fashionable man in Hanyang.
Do you think only one or two come to see me?
Do you smell anything?
What kind of smell?
What are you doing standing there?
You sounded like you were having a serious conversation.
So I didn't serve your food.
The Flower Crew shares everything we eat, even if it is just a bean.
It won't do to run out like this.
I'll get another bowl.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by My Fair Lady Team { Viki.
Where did he go again?
What are you doing?
I can't find Half-wit.
I sold him away.
What? But, why?
To where?
How could you sell him without telling me?
I am selling my own property,
do I have to receive your permission?
It seems I have treated you too well these days.
My apologies, Miss.
Just do what you're ordered well.
If you don't want to be sent away as well.
But this dimwit doesn't know how to do anything.
What if he gets beaten to death there?
What to do, Half-wit?
Be acknowledged as a noble lady.
Then I will give you both an apology and this slave.
Orabeoni.
If I run away like this... Will I get punished?
Miss! Come out here!
Oh my, what is this?
Oh what do we do with this?
This way, this way.
Slowly, slowly! It could break.
Miss. I asked discreetly to the other house's servants,
and our house is the only one where the king personally sent presents.
The rumour is going around all over the village, that you are the nominee.
Miss. It looks like you'll really become the Queen.
Oh, My Lord, you came.
You, what are these clothes?
Just that this is comfortable.
You're the face of the Yoon family now!
Don't you dare tarnish that name!
Yes.
Father.
But, Soo. I can't go to you.
This marriage has ended.
As you ordered, Your Majesty,
I sent the royal gift to Lord Yoon's house.
And for the whole distance to her home
I spread the rumour that Lord Yoon's daughter is the nominee.
You did well.
Your Majesty, the Prime Minister,
Tell him to enter.
He's behind the crown prince's death,
and the attempts against Gae Ddong's life.
I heard that you stayed up all night here.
If you continue, your health may be affected...
this subject is worried.
As Prime Minister, you are busy day and night.
As the King, how can I stay idle/.
You compliment me too highly.
However, Your Majesty. I heard a strange rumour.
That Lord Yoon's daughter died a long time ago.
I also heard a strange rumour.
That the culprit of my brother's assassination wasn't some bandits troop.
Then who is it?
I wonder.
I heard that you cherish Lady Yoon quite a lot, Majesty.
So the rumour reached all the way to you, already.
If you wish, Your Majesty,
you can bring that lady to your side.
If you put my second cousin first as your queen,
They're all your women anyway,
what does it matter who is first?
By giving one up, you can get all.
What can I do?
That one is my everything.
The one thing I have.
Do not try to take it away.
It is quite...
regrettable.
Matchmaker! Matchmaker! Matchmaker!
Aren't you a servant for the Vice-Premier's household?
Half-wit...
Half-wit?
I mean Gae Ddong's orabeoni.
I understand your reaction but it's urgent.
What is it?
Tonight, I have to go outside of the palace.
I left a very precious thing outside of the palace.
Your Majesty, you dared to dish on our what was precious to me.
You have to brace yourself.
Father, it is Ji Hwa.
Come in.
That girl was on the list for the Royal Spouse Selection.
First, we need to stop that man.
If it gets out that you met a man before the Royal Spouse Selection,
it will cause a big problem.
Who exactly is the man that you met?
I don't know him.
I thought you were brilliant, but that wasn't at all smart.
So it is said that a woman won't do.
Isn't it the Royal Spouse Selection tomorrow?
On this thorny path,
I wish for you not to get hurt.
♫ Your wound that is just like mine ♫
♫ Swallowing words again ♫
You must have brought it because of the flower god.
♫ I endured again ♫
♫ My heart ♫
I'm thinking of righting the wrong now.
This is the marriage proposal that Matchmaker Ma Hoon,
who has nothing to his name, is giving you.
♫ I never thought it would happen to me ♫
Proposal, whatever. He's a trickster.
♫ I didn't dislike it, but it hurts ♫
♫ That you might come or not, ♫
♫ come to me or not ♫ [Longing]
What picture is this? ♫ The love that I did alone ♫
This guy, why does he make a proposal in such a complicated way?
[Longing] ♫ I am so weak ♫
It's the character for rock placed on top of the character for heart.
Exactly how I feel.
Ah I don't know! He wrote that kind of thing,
how can I know his heart?
[The Flower Crew Agency Annals]
The Flower Crew Agency annals?
There really was something like that?
I'll borrow it for a bit.
Give it back right now!
As if we would think he works sloppily.
Would he have written so much if he were?
Flower Crew Agency annals, Article 15 'Taboo':
The Matchmaker mustn't have personal feelings about the client's marriage.
Yes. How reliable you are.
Miss, please come outside. Someone is here.
There's no one here.
What? Oh, over there.
Gae Ddong, smiling Gae Ddong.
Smiling Gae Ddong.
Gae Ddong!
Orabeoni.
Is it really you?
Orabeoni!
How did you come here?
Ah, too heavy!
Sorry.
Did you run away?
How did you know I was here?
Let's go. I'll take you back.
If they find out you left, they won't leave you alone.
No, I don't want to go! I like it here!
No, you can't! Orabeoni!
There's no need to do that.
Your brother is free now.
What... do you mean?
It's as I say. Starting from this moment, your brother is no longer a slave.
How...
is that possible?
Lady Kang sold him after the first day of Royal Spouse Selection.
Matchmaker Do gathered all his information powers and found him.
Really...
Is my brother really free now?
Really?
Gae Ddong.
You are free now too.
If you want, you can go to the Royal Spouse Selection or not go,
and you can live as lady Yoon Soo Yeon or as Gae Ddong.
You can go to that person, or remain at the Flower Crew.
If you want, I will also give a new identity to your brother.
From now on, you will never have to run away or look for anyone else again.
You can go wherever your heart desires.
Do you mean anywhere?
Where ever you want to go.
♫ You become more distant every day ♫
♫ The days I longed for ♫
If that's the case, you must feel relieved now.
Yes, I feel incredibly relieved now.
♫ Like the sun and moon that cannot rise simultaneously, ♫
Ok, your annoying burden will leave now.
♫ I try calling out to you ♫
♫ That distant dream we might be happily be together ♫
♫ is all that I live for ♫
In folktales, at these times,
they grab them and say "Don't go". Something like that.
Why are you so well behaved? So boring.
I was involved too. I wondered how it ended.
The story you told me last time about the cat and dog was all wrong.
If the dog loves the cat, the dog would open the door.
Because he is most afraid of the cat getting hurt because of him.
You say that there are issues
with the young ladies in the Royal Spouse Selection.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell me.
There are problems in the four pillars
for Yoon Dong Seok's daughter Yoon Soo Yeon
and Ma Bong Jeon's daughter Ma Jeong Hui.
Your Majesty, the four pillars are a mere formality.
How can we talk about the fate of the nation
based on the date and time someone is born?
This is a repudiation of Confucianism.
It avoids the cycle of misfortune and harmonizes yin and yang.
Are you also repudiating physiognomy?
First, let's hear the rest.
In Yoon Soo Yeon's fortune, we see a number of accidents.
In the Year of the Swine,
there was a confluence of great fortune and the ill fortune of the time.
Because of the strong antagonism of air and water,
angry energy was released resulting in a great plague.
I'm sure that it should be the fate of someone who died.
But I'm not sure how this could have happened.
Is this really Lady Yoon's fate?
However, there is a blessing. Of all the ladies in the Royal Spouse Selection,
There is one very compatible with Your Majesty.
Please tell us.
Kang Ji Hwa. She carries the fate of a general.
She was born with the fate of a monarch or general,
but because she was born as a woman and she is in the Royal Spouse Selection,
she has the capacity and skill to be in the position of queen.
Your Majesty, you shouldn't believe in a fate that someone is born to.
This is the selection of the mother of the country. Please don't take it lightly.
-What do you mean I'm taking it lightly? -But...
the Prime Minister's words aren't wrong.
It is a matter of choosing my one and only wife, I want to be most careful.
Astrologer Kim, please study
the face of the three ladies well in the second stage of selection.
Yes, Your Majesty.
After that, we will discuss this again.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I can't believe he thought to bribe Astrologer Kim.
I thought he was born with no class, but he is so vulgar.
-I shouldn't have been careless. -Please give your order.
You just need to prevent the astrologer
from entering the palace on the second day of selection.
I will execute your order.
You entered the second phase of the Royal Spouse Selection.
It's in three days.
Please give me an answer, matchmaker who sends requests.
What should I do now?
But what kind of character is this?
Right. The one who wrote it must read it to me.
Did they all go out?
They don't even have marriage requests because of the Royal Spouse Selection.
Matchmaker!
Oh, you're here?
What is this? Are you avoiding me?
What are you saying? Big Unni will come soon. As for me, I have to go out.
Eyy. Instead of pheasant it's chicken.
Please read this for me.
Let's see. [Longing]
Oh my.
Here it is, here.
It is "long" of longing heart.
-Long of longing heart? -Yeah.
Someone must be ardently longing for you.
But who gave that to you?
Did His Majesty give it to you?
That's not it.
Did you just come to ask about this?
No... It's been long since I last came.
Keep it a secret that I know about this.
Neither the King nor the Flower Crew or that wench, no one must know.
If you divulge it to anyone,
I will also divulge your secret.
Gae Ddong.
Can't you just run away?
What?
Even if you become the queen, it'll be big trouble if your identity gets out.
Even if you become the queen, there will be a succession of concubines.
If you think about it, becoming the queen isn't a great marriage anyway.
Everyone says to go. No one tells me to come.
No, that's not it.
Big Unni.
What is it?
There was something I had left here.
You came to get this?
Yes. The girls in the women's quarter said to drink this,
when you feel like your insides are going to burst from holding it in.
Your insides burst?
Yes. Because of a certain someone, my insides are bursting.
Then, I will take my leave.
It's "long" of longing heart.
Someone must be fervently longing for you.
What kind of longing is lacking so much in challenge spirit?
But didn't you say I was free now?
Because it seemed like you didn't know.
This liquor... Let's drink it tomorrow.
Let's run away. To somewhere no one can find us.
Miss.
Someone came from the palace.
The palace?
Ahjussi, you look so great in these new clothes.
During the time I didn't see you, I see you became a maiden from a noble family.
Gae Ddong. You have to come to the next round of Royal Spouse Selection.
Mister...
His Majesty can't sleep.
It's not only for His Majesty.
If you don't come, Lord Ma Hoon will also be put in a difficult position.
If you run away, do you think his Majesty will leave the Flower Crew alone?
Soo is not that kind of person.
It's not Soo. It's His Majesty.
His Majesty bet everything in order to put you beside him.
For you, many lives are on the line.
Ahjussi.
I know that this isn't your choice.
But it wasn't His Majesty's choice to become King, either.
Gae Ddong. Just this once, help His Majesty, I'm asking you.
I acted too hastily.
If I knew, I wouldn't have sold Half-wit.
Half-wit?
The idiot slave who was in our house.
It seems like that idiot is Gae Ddong's brother.
If we had him, what better proof would we be able to get than this?
Kang Dal!
Yes, My Lord.
Find out where the slave was sold to.
Yes.
Don't worry. Get ready for the next round of Royal Spouse Selection.
From now on, I'll take care of everything myself.
Is it not enough?
-It's not too bad. -It's not too bad.
I knew you'd be like this, Matchmaker.
Is there something you'd like to do?
There is.
♫ You are always there at the end of my wait ♫
♫ Like a shadow protecting me in back of me ♫
♫ The moment I think of it I stop walking ♫
♫ I can' take another step ♫
Come here! ♫ That person probably would be unaware ♫
♫ My heart will be there that day ♫
♫ In the hours spent on foot while staring ♫
♫ I'm afraid it will all disappear in the morning ♫
♫ I imagine you in my mind. ♫
We sold him to the Cheonghae lab our house
but midway, the information maven came, offered double for him, and took him away.
An information maven?
Yes, the most famous collector of information
in Hanyang from the Flower Crew.
Again, the Flower Crew is tangled in this.
You still have this?
You remember?
Mr. Matchmaker. Earning something takes months,
-and spending it takes an instant. -And spending it takes an instant.
As long as you know.
Don't forget, and remember it well.
Give me your hand.
It's something my brother gave me.
Why are you giving this to me?
Gae Ddong, you can become anyone and go anywhere.
♫ For a long time you have been at my side ♫
Still...
♫ A generous person ♫
Still, can't you stay by my side?
♫ Even if I sometimes swear at you ♫
Please give me another chance.
♫ I'll stay by your side. ♫
♫ A kind man. ♫
♫ Starting a new love ♫
♫ I'm still afraid. ♫
♫ Even though I say I like it. ♫
Let's have a drink.
Try getting hiccups again, if you dare.
♫ I am looking at the man who confessed today ♫
♫ Because I am thinking of you, I'm holding back my tears ♫
♫ In the eyes waiting for my response ♫
♫ Because I think a sin has been committed for nothing ♫
♫ I can't say anything. ♫
That wench's brother - where is he?
I really don't know, my lord.
Is that so?
Then you'll have to find out.
If your bounty was 100 nyang,
then you'll have to repay that much.
That's the only decent thing to do.
Don't you think so, Chil Nom?
Chil Nom, Chil Nom.
Chil Nom.
Chil Nom, you bastard.
What are you doing? Hurry up and grab him.
Hurry up and grab him!
Don't miss a second and watch until the end.
Since you're next.
Dammit, what's this smell?
Ah, what did this bastard leave?
This vermin of an executioner, he's even scared of cutting people.
Crazy bastard.
Chil Nom.
Don't pretend to be a human.
We're not human. We're beasts that cut the necks of humans.
A vulgar, dirty and smelly rascal, like you.
Don't pretend
to be weak-minded, nice and human.
Even if you do that, you'll only ever be a ruffian until your death day, you vermin.
We set a date for you to execute.
Chil Nom.
Tomorrow is the execution day, where are you trying to go?
I don't want to. I don't want to.
I can't do it. Please save me.
I'll save you.
There are so many necks you'll cut off with these hands.
Of course I have to save you.
Try to run away again.
Until you come back,
I'll cut off the necks of each of the boys behind you
and I'll hang them in the square.
On Gabin year, Imshin month, Gyesa day, at noon,
prisoner Moon Seok committed murder and is sentenced to death.
If you hesitate or hold back, or the blade is dull, you have to cut again.
It's a hassle so do it in one slash.
I didn't kill them!
I didn't do it!
Please. I didn't do anything wrong.
Please save me.
Please.
I didn't do it!
Please save me.
What are you doing?! Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Why aren't you cutting? Don't you know it's an execution day?
Grab it tightly like this.
If a beast like you can't even do this, you shouldn't even have been born.
You're not even good enough to be trash. Hurry and chop!
I wasn't born like this because I wanted to!
He killed someone!
A person's dead! He killed him!
I can't go back there.
I won't go.
What are you doing over there?
Did you get a new fragrance?
-What kind is it this time? -Don't come any closer.
Oh, it's just expensive, that's why.
But what are you doing in my room?
Oh, I have a favour to ask.
For the time being, can you watch my brother?
Why, why are you asking me?
Matchmaker Go, you're the most trustworthy!
And you're kind.
I'm not a kind man.
I know.
You try so hard to hide it but you're kind, through and through.
I'll trust you and take my leave!
Gae Ddong,
I used to hate you.
I know!
So you can hate me too.
You're kind of strange tonight.
I'll be off.
Oraebeoni, listen to that matchmaker over there, okay? I'll be back soon.
Why are you giving me this puff?
I need a winner.
If it appears you can't win, use this.
This is a pass to get in and out of the palace.
Find that guy and bring him to the palace.
[Pass]
Apples!
Apples.
I like apples.
Kang likes apples.
We have a lot to do so you need to help.
Look at this. Look.
Apples.
[Flower Crew Agency Annals]
Matchmaker! Matchmaker!
-What is it? -That is,
Gae Ddong...
I mean, Miss Soo Yeon asked me to give you this.
No matter what, it is a little strange.
There's a palanquin at the house.
You can go.
Yes.
I leave here the feelings I had intertwined with you.
I am sorry that I can't keep my promise.
I am not sure whether there will be a next opportunity, but if one appears,
then I want to be by your side at that time.
♫ You, passing by, ♫

♫ I long for you ♫
I will go to Soo.
I will take care of everything. I will take care of everything, so please—.
It's my choice!
♫ Look at the sky ♫
How nice is it
that the five poon girl is going to the palace in an elaborate palanquin.
♫ Like the sun and moon ♫
I also thought about staying by your side.
♫ In the moonlight ♫
Even if you're the Prime Minister's son, it's doesn't compare to the king.
♫ That distant dream ♫

♫ That is all I live for ♫

Did you forget?
If you lie, I can tell.
♫ Let us meet again then, please remember me ♫

You call everything lies.
I am in love with you.

I love you, Gae Ddong.
♫ I'm saying I live In our happy dream ♫
Don't go.
♫ That day when we will meet ♫
It's too late.
I'm fine.
I'm fine, so go away.
Is it a big issue if I get rained on a bit?
My heart is clear, as if it's been washed.
Look at my brilliant, loving heart.
Don't touch her!
Don't even touch a strand of this lady's hair.
One day, you're going to suffer because of that cold heart of yours!
Don't regret it, then!
At first, it was because I didn't know,
since it was the first time I felt love for someone.
I was certain nothing would happen.
