You knew, didn't you?
That she was going to leave.
Get moving. You're going to catch cold.
I am not asking!
She came to the Flower Crew Agency.
His Majesty bet everything in order to put you beside him.
For you, many lives are on the line.
He should have some decency.
What will you do if he has no sense of honour?
Mr. Matchmaker.
But Matchmaker Ma will be very sad without our newbie.
So you should take him. How annoying it is when he cries.
Do you still not know? Without me, he is so cool inside.
I see you are going even if he tries to stop you.
In your view too, do you think I am a fool?
Anyway, I can't help it.
My life was a life indebted to others.
Because of Oraeboni, I kept on living. Because of Soo, I found a family.
Because of you matchmakers, I could live like a real person.
As someone who lived like this... I don't want to become a burden.
-Matchmaker Ma won't think that way. -Still, I'll become a burden
in the end.
Even burdens have pride!
So can you please keep my coming here tonight a secret?
Big Unni, why do you look like this?!
Did you get caught in the rain? Big Unni!
I have something to tell you...
Bring him to the palace.
After you bring him,
reveal that what the Flower Agency did was instigated by the Prime Minister.
That's not the truth. We just did as we were told by the king.
That can't be true. Wouldn't this put the king in a bad position?
Everything ordered by the Prime Minister was an order given to Ma Hoon.
Do you understand, Chil Nom?
Please.
Please stop me.
Thanks to you matchmakers, I could live like a real person.
As someone who lived like this... I don't want to become a burden.
♫ That it would be so painful ♫
♫ That it would be so intense ♫
♫ I didn't know it then. ♫
♫ You become more distant each day ♫
♫ The days I longed for this to happen ♫
♫ as though mocking me ♫
♫ have disappeared ♫
It's a sun-shower.
The rain clouds came by for a moment,
like an esteemed guest, because you're getting married.
So don't be afraid.
It's a sun-shower,
just passing by.
♫ In the moonlight and sunlight, I try calling out to you ♫
It will be fine soon.
♫ That distant dream we might be happily be together ♫

Episode 15 Please don't hurt me.
Episode 15 Wolfsbane.
Did you hear?
The king sent gifts he selected himself only to Yoon Seo Yoon's household.
Wow, turns out there was a different nominee.
What does it matter if you come from an elite household?
The king has another woman in his heart.
That's what I say.
Why don't you say it louder?
Thank you.
Traditionally, the queen must be a woman of virtue and elegance like you.
What a shame that you're so easily swayed by the king's personal feelings.
Her Highness the Queen is arriving late.
Must be nice.
I didn't become a noble lady to go to you.
This marriage is over.
Your Majesty, it is time to hear the daily administrative summary.
Not yet.
-Your Majesty, it's already been delayed... -Didn't I tell you to wait?
Your Majesty!
Lady Yoon...
Lady Yoon has arrived at the palace!
Let's go.
As you ordered, I have gotten and am holding Astrologer Kim.
Who is going in his place?
When the Queen Dowager was participating in the selection,
I paid off Astrologer Kim who read the Four Pillars.
Good job.
Now what will he do?
Vice Premier.
Matchmaker, a letter arrived for you.
Never mind.
For the time being, don't accept anything. Soon, we'll have to close the doors.
What? We'll close the doors?
Lift the screens.
Today, for these honourable ladies,
we've prepared a lotus flower tea.
Please try it.
Yes, we will.
Lift the cup with your right hand
put the cup on the palm of your left hand.
Look at my tea ceremony skills.
Gae Ddong! You! This is alcohol!
Try surprising me.
How is it? We prepared a very rare tea for you.
Yes, the fragrance is faint but the taste is rich.
Lady Ma, you really have an eye for tea.
Lady Yoon, are you feeling well?
No, thank you but I'm fine.
No, I'm fine.
I can't believe he thought of bribing the physiognomist.
As you ordered, I have gotten and am holding Astrologer Kim.
Vice Premier, it has been over an hour since the Assembly started.
How long are you going to keep us waiting?
Please wait little bit longer.
There must be some reason he is late.
There is no time to wait any longer, Your Majesty.
Your subject has called another trusted person, just in case.
Will you use him instead?
Yes, let us use him instead.
If he's someone that you trust, we must trust him as well.
Your grace is immeasurable.
-But... -Let him in.
Astrologer Kang confessed that the Prime Minister bribed him.
We should put the Prime Minister on trial...
No, we cannot. The Prime Minister knows the secret about Gae Ddong.
If we behave thoughtlessly, Gae Ddong will get hurt.
Then how...
Call him.
You can't, Your Majesty.
It would be preferable to order the physiognomist to make a new...
In this palace, is there anyone who isn't bribed or threatened
by the Prime Minister or the Vice Premier?
Then, Your Majesty, will he come?
Matchmaker Ma Hoon presents himself to the king.
Why did you ask to see me?
Did you reunite with your oraeboni?
After all that fussing day and night.
If you are going to speak like this, I'll be leaving.
If you found your brother, you should have run away.
Why are you here?
Do you really want to become the queen?
Lady, why don't you ever smile?
All of the people who come to the Flower Crew Agency for a marriage
leave with a smile
because they've found their other half
that they will live with for the rest of their lives.
They're so happy.
Aren't you here to find your other half?
But why in my eyes, do you look like a general dragged onto a battlefield?
As someone who worked in the market without any fundamentals,
how could you understand the marriage of a government official?
Marriage isn't something that you fight for and steal.
It's something you create by giving all your heart.
You have no heart to give. How could you smile?
I want you to become someone who can smile.
What does she know?
How did you...
Prime Minister, the trusted man you referred to
was your son?
Yes, Your Majesty.
My father expressed that this will determine the fate of the country
and he asked me to assist with this matter.
Your Majesty, this will not do.
This lad is a vulgar matchmaker from the back alleys of Hanyang.
I beg you to reconsider, Your Majesty.
Please understand us!
The Vice Premier is right.
Though he is my child, he has many shortcomings.
Shortcomings?
It seems you haven't heard the rumours.
They say that once they tie the knot, the marriage never is broken.
Isn't it the best matchmaking agency in Hanyang?
Prime Minister, I didn't know
you would go to these lengths for the national marriage.
Matchmaker Ma, please examine the horoscopes and fates of the three ladies.
The fate of the country is in your hands, Matchmaker Ma.
Oh, good. I was going to call you soon.
I prepared medicines for Joon Hyeon to take. Go fetch them from the medical ward.
I went to so much trouble to get these rare medicines for Joon Hyeon.
Your Highness.
Your brother...
What happened to Joon Hyeon?
On the road to exile, he was attacked suddenly by thieves.
Is he dead?
Your Highness.
Joon Hyeon... Joon Hyeon.
There's no way.
If there is anyone that will stand in our way,
I will cast them out by any means necessary.
It wasn't the thieves.
Lady Yoon Soo Yeon.
So, how do you find them?
For Lady Ma and Lady Kang,
I am in agreement with the findings from the previous scholar.
Then this means that Lady Kang's fate is to become the queen?
Yes, Vice Premier.
But, Lady Kang will find that the position of queen is not enough.
Rather than protecting the light, her fate is to become the light.
She is not fit for the palace.
Matchmaker Ma, then how is Lady Yoon?
Is it true that her fate is of someone who has died?
Yes, Lady Yoon's fate shows someone who has already died.
But, the Four Pillars and the physiognomy aren't in agreement,
so I must meet her in person.
Please give me your permission.
I give you permission. Matchmaker Ma Hoon
bring Lady Yoon to my private quarters.
The second round of the Royal Spouse Selection is over.
Hence forth, we will be selecting candidates for the third round.
You all may return to your homes.
Lady Yoon,
Lady Yoon, you must go to the king's private quarters.
-Just me? -Yes, My Lady.
Look at this. Everyone sees Lady Yoon as the nominee.
I need someone who will win.
Lady Yoon.
Yes?
-What is this? -Your lipstick rubbed off.
You're going to see His Majesty. You must look proper.
What is this rouge?
If you cannot win, you should use this.
Thank you.
Can you please lift the screen?
Matchmaker Ma, why are you staring at her like this?
If I didn't know better, I'd think that you'd met the love of your life.
How is her horoscope?
Her horoscope is of someone who has died.
Horoscope of someone who is dead? What happened here?
While life and death are providential,
if the heart is desperate enough,
miracles can occur.
Her father pleaded with his life to prevent his daughter's accidental death.
Thanks to her father, she came into great fortune
and through great effort, the heavens let her live.
She who was born without a name... was born again with this precious name.
What about the marital harmony with His Majesty?
His Majesty and Lady Yoon's dispositions are the same
and she will be a blessing to the royal family.
But.
But, Lady.
It's not just to His Majesty
but you bring blessings to all around you.
All of the misfortunes in your past were for a happy future.
So don't worry anymore
and live however you desire.
Now all of your misfortune, someone else will take it for you.
Give me your hand
♫ I can't say anything. ♫
♫ I'm still afraid. ♫
♫ Even though I say I like it. ♫
You have my luck so everything will be fine.
♫ 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. ♫
Milord. Milord.
Lady Yoon left this for you before she left.
How annoying. Go away.
Then
would you mind if I ate it?
Leave first.
Follow me.
He walks so quickly. Can't you look back? So I can see your handsome face.
Lady Yoon.
His Majesty is asking for you.
What were you thinking? Bringing that wench here.
Are you really planning on making that wench the queen?
If she wants it, I will do it for her.
If the Vice Premier learns her true identity, what do you think will happen?
He is already aware.
How long are you going to behave like this?!
How far are you willing to go?
If you keep behaving this way, like you said, I'll treat you
like your brother, like a dead child.
I didn't think you'd come.
The royal garments suit our Soo well.
You're the best looking king in all of Joseon.
I'm sorry.
I've never been able to apologize to you,
for deceiving you and making you come all this way.
I'll go to you.
Since you risked a lot to come to me.
Since we're family?
Because we're family.
Just until today, let's play the five pun girl and the blacksmith.
Next time we meet, we'll meet as the king and Yoon Soo Yeon.
Do you want to stay with Matchmaker Ma?
I wasn't trying to stay by Matchmaker Ma.
I wanted to walk the same path as him.
Your Majesty!
It's a disaster!
It hurts. Ow!
It hurts!
My leg hurts! My leg hurts!
Hurry and tell the truth! Who is Gae Ddong?
Harder!
My leg hurts!
He still can't get a hold of himself.
Wake him up!
What are you doing?!
Many lives are riding on your actions.
I asked what you are doing.
I was conducting an interrogation, Your Majesty.
Torturing someone during a trial is forbidden.
Surely you knew this, Vice Premier.
Because his crimes were serious,
I had no choice but to be severe in my questioning.
What crime did he commit that you must be so cruel?
A moral sin against the three basic principles in human relations.
A moral sin against the three basic principles in human relations?
Yes.
He was originally a slave at my home
but he says that he's Lady Yoon's older brother.
If this is true, it is one of two things.
He's not a slave.
Or she is pretending to be a noble.
Vice Premier, watch your tone. She is precious to me.
Which is why we must learn the truth of this situation.
This could even be considered a crime for deceiving the king!
Glgoonmangsang: To deceive and show contempt to one's superiors.
Vice Premier, do you really believe that?
I heard his confession myself
that Lady Yoon is this slave's long lost sister, Gae Ddong.
I heard it as well.
He's a man who calls anyone passing by Gae Ddong.
When I was at Lord Kang's home, I witnessed this as well.
Who said that he said this? He is just evidence.
Come out!
This is the one who informed us.
Tell them in detail.
Yes.
That girl is not Lady Yoon.
She is this slave's sister, Gae Ddong.
How could you know this?
We received a request to turn this girl from the market
into the daughter of a high government official.
Yeong Soo.
Who requested this?
It was...
Yeong Soo.
Catch him! This way!
Catch him!
Catch him! Here!
Where did he go?
Where is he?
This way!
Catch him!
-Hasten some more. -Go in.
Move!
Pass, hasten inside.
If you were going to rob someone, you should have robbed an inn.
Matchmaker, is something wrong inside?
No.
I quite enjoy what you've brought.
I'm going to take my time to look at everything. Go have lunch and come back.
Yes, sir. Take your time!
Even if I don't have anything to eat, I can give you something that smells nice.
Child, this suits you better than a knife.
It's a gift.
It's true.
I'm Go Yeong Soo.
I won't return to being Chil Nom.
I asked who requested this from you!
Everything was done by Ma Hoon.
It was Gae Ddong!
Everything was done by her.
She came to us and asked us to make her a noble lady.
We were all deceived by this wench.
Chil Nom, how dare you!
Tell me. Then I will save you.
Is she your younger sister, Gae Ddong?
Oraeboni.
Gae Ddong.
From now on, you can't ever talk about Gae Ddong.
If you don't, Gae Ddong and you could all die.
I don't know Gae Ddong.
Gae Ddong's dead.
You rascal!
Gae Ddong is here!
I am Gae Ddong.
Yes, I wanted to become the queen
so I deceived everyone and I participated in the Royal Spouse Selection.
Like Matchmaker Go said
the Flower Crew Agency
were all deceived by me.
Please fall back. You've been excessive.
Matchmaker Ma, aren't you an accomplice in this?
I'm also an accomplice!
I've come at Matchmaker Ma's request.
He said he'd like to owe you a favour this time.
I'll act as if it were nothing.
To say that my daughter is fake.
Does that make me an accomplice as well, Vice Premier?
With such undeniable evidence,
you call her your daughter? She just confessed.
If you keep speaking lies, you won't be able to avoid your sin, Lord Mae Heon.
According to what you said,
as a father, I say she is my daughter.
Is this not the most undeniable proof?
Since she was young, her health was poor.
This is the precious daughter that I raised!
Do not cross the line anymore, Vice Premier.
Your Majesty, please allow me to take this child
who was tortured because of my daughter. Will you give me permission?
Do as you've said.
Your grace is immeasurable.
Your Majesty, these are lies. Mae Hoon is deceiving us all!
You've abused your authority and persecuted innocent people
to satisfy your self-interest.
Torturing others, of course, and deceit is a crime against me, the incumbent king.
Your Majesty.
Because of your public service to this country,
I will not charge you for this crime.
Leave.
Gae Ddong!
Many eyes are watching.
Gae Ddong, get a hold of yourself. Gae Ddong!
How long are you going to stay like that?
Hurry up! Find a doctor and bring them here.
Yeah.
Gae Ddong, get a hold of yourself!
Gae Ddong! Gae Ddong, just wait a bit.
[Flower Agency]
It's poison from the wolfsbane flower.
She's lucky that it was such a small amount.
If it was even a little more, she would have been in trouble.
I've given her an antidote so she will be well soon.
Who gave her this poison...
Lady Ma.
-If that's true, we must tell the Royal Investigation Bureau... -There's no need.
The king found out sooner than I did.
But.
Lady Ma didn't act alone.
Young Lady Yoon is alright, thankfully.
That's a relief.
Would you like to go?
I am Kim Soo, and this is my wife.
Your baggage too, put it here for a while.
Like that, let's live together.
As expected, there's only family who can be considerate of me.
It looks like it is someone else's duty, now.
Open up!
How can you remove my cousin's daughter from the Royal Spouse Selection?
You cannot do this!
Isn't it the puerile mistake of a young girl?
Please grace us with your royal benevolence once more—.
Was it also due to your puerility that you murdered my brother, Prime Minister?
Your Majesty.
How can you speak such horrible words?
Up until now,
how many innocent people did you harm in the name of this country?
Your Majesty!
This is a seat to look out for the people in need instead of the King.
It is not a seat for you to fulfil your own greed
by wielding the power of the King instead.
You have misunderstood me.
-Commander of the Royal Guard. -Yes, Your Majesty.
Let the Royal Investigation Bureau know right now,
I order them to review not just this case,
but all cases containing suspicious elements.
Tell them If they need to,
I said they may interrogate any official.
If you act like this way to me, you will regret it.
The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner.
♫ The times I endured alone ♫
♫ I am hugging and wrapping you in my arms. With you. ♫
Who?
Who said you could leave as you wished?
♫ When looking silently wishing to Feel You ♫
♫ I'll smile loving you. ♫
♫ Always be with you ♫
I'm not the one who held on.
You were.
♫ Now I won't let you go. ♫
♫ Always be with you ♫
♫ I'm always going to be with you ♫
Rock head
cannot take back the promise she once made.
They said the young lady from Lord Yoon's family is safe.
The lady from that household got arrested because of that issue,
and the Royal Spouse Selection has been suspended.
Ok, you may leave now. I want to be alone.
Yes.
I said I wanted to be alone!
Did you come to read books?
Are you happy now?
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
The issue with the Young Lady Ma has no relation to me.
Lady!
The place you must attain by going this far, is it really where you want to go?
Yes. Are you talking about her?
Since it turned out like this, how great would it have been if she died?
What are you doing?
I gave you these shoes wishing you wouldn't go on a rugged path.
I didn't mean you should push another onto that rugged path.
You won, My Lady.
As you wish, go to the highest position possible. There will be no one there.
Do you think I can't do it?
Orabeoni.
Don't worry.
Your brother is well and safe here,
and the Royal Spouse Selection has been suspended a while.
Also, the Flower Crew is safe as well.
Isn't that what you wanted to ask?
Are you feeling okay?
♫ You are always there at the end of my wait ♫
Here it seems fine.
♫ Like a shadow protecting me in back of me ♫
And here is fine as well.
♫ The moment I think of it I stop walking ♫
Your fever seems to have gone down a lot.
♫ I can't take another step. ♫
Everything will be okay now.
♫ She probably would be unaware. ♫
♫ My heart will be there that day. ♫
I will never send you away, ever again.
♫ In the hours spent on foot while staring ♫
♫ I'm afraid it will disappear. ♫
♫ My heart will be there that day. ♫
That's a good smell. It smells good.
From here.
The smell's not coming from me.
Here. It's coming from here.
No. The good smell is coming from here.
If you smell good, it means you're a good person.
Well, of course, it's because you're the most reliable.
And you're kind.
Don't smile like that... like Gae Ddong.
I'm sorry.
What do you think you're doing now?
Prince Yeon Hoo came back from Qing.
Prime Minister!
Success of the King, failure of the traitor, they say.
It means if you succeed you become King, and if you fail you become traitor.
Prime Minister. This is treason.
If we fail, it is indeed.
However, I do not fight to lose.
Are you telling me to fold my hands?
I am telling you to hold the hand of a friend.
We will depose the present king who lost his royal sense of duty as a monarch,
and restore the identity of Prince Yeon Hoo who was unfairly chased away.
With this, we will raise upright this nation's royal family and country.
Vice Premier,
won't you change the heavens together with me?
