Flower Agency
Matchmaker, do you need this?
Put it outside.
-Hae Soo. -Yes?
Go outside and help Tak Soo.
Yes, sir.
You're still feverish. Stay still and take it easy.
You're moving because of me, right?
This was such a good place!
The place that Joseon's best matchmaker goes is the best place.
Yes, Matchmaker. Always so consistent.
Here. Pick a place. Where do you think is the best place?
For me, here looks good.
Lately, I'm learning a lot.
Why are you learning just strange phrases? When will you ever use them?
You never know. We could arrange a German marriage one day.
Oh no! There's trouble.
Matchmaker Go has disappeared, only leaving this note.
-Go out and look for him. -Yes.
Thank you for all you've done. Please don't look for me.
He has nowhere to go. Where could he have gone?
-Let's split up and look for him. -I will not.
It was so hard to find my brother.
Because of Matchmaker Go, my brother almost died!
Gae Ddong.
I don't care what happens to that man so leave me out.
Can you look for him?
Don't worry. He's probably at some cloth shop.
If he's in Hanyang, he's within the palm of my hand.
That girl is not Lady Yoon.
She is this slave's sister, Gae Ddong.
What does it matter what happens to him?
I'm not going to help them, no matter how much you smile at me. Never.
Hey kid!
Are you following me?
How long are you going to follow me around?
Sit down.
-Now you're a little cleaner. -I'm not clean.
It doesn't matter. You just have to be clean going forward.
If you dress like this, people will look at you strangely.
So clean up and change into these clothes.
Do I look strange... sir?
Of course you are!
Then I should take this off.
Normally, everyone looks a little strange.
That's why it's fun.
You're talented at choosing clothes.
Doesn't it smell nice?
There's no way.
These are good clothes and you're a good person,
so of course, it smells good.
There's someone named Go Yeong Soo who left Joseon because it was too crowded.
He has no need to come back to Joseon.
You. Do you want to be Go Yeong Soo?
♫ Lately I mull it over with a smile and laugh again. ♫
I'm counting on you, Go Yeong Soo.
♫ The person which the eyes remember ♫
♫ like a deeply etched tattoo ♫
♫ remains again. They remember you. ♫
♫ Believed as much as they were seen ♫
This was all done by that girl.
We were all deceived by that wench.
Yeong Soo.
What have I done with these hands?
Chil Nom!
♫ At that time, like the day which fills your eyes ♫
♫ The day which repeats today ♫
Shall we go back home?
Please, please!
Save me, please. I didn't do it!
♫ The person who only remembers me ♫
♫ You are that one person ♫
Even if Prince Yeon Hoo has returned,
there must be a justification for dethroning the King.
Why do you say there is no justification?
Out there, a blacksmith, the child of a lowly concubine,
has ascended the king's precious throne and is making that wench the queen,
he deceived the entire nation.
But the more important thing is public opinion.
We need to gain the public's support.
We don't gain the public's support.
We make it.
Give me one as well.
Attention!
As long as you tell people what's written on these papers, this money will be yours.
Thus, the King made his proposal!
I love you! I will make the queen.
Your Majesty, how could I become the queen?
I will give you everything!
His Majesty is really going to make that lowly thing the queen?
Because of that lowly girl, Joseon's going to become a laughingstock!
As expected, the true monarch is Prince Yeon Hoo.
If the citizens find out, what will we do?
How could the ignorant citizens find out anything?
No one will know!
You just need to become the queen!
Lady, it's that man from the courtesan house?
Your Majesty, please give me the entire world!
Of course, of course. Everything is yours!
♫ I never thought it would happen to me, ♫
♫ this pounding trembling ♫
♫ I didn't dislike it, ♫
♫ but it hurts ♫
♫ That you might come or not, come to me or not ♫
♫ The love that I did alone ♫
♫ I couldn't hide my heart ♫
♫ I am so weak ♫
Lady, what's wrong?
As much as I got angry, there was never a time that he didn't look at me.
♫ But once you take one step away, you come two steps closer ♫
When will we pack everything and move it? I have to help...
Stay still.
It seems that returning won't be easy.
What are you talking about?
They talk about how the present King,
mere son of a concubine, has deceived this nation
to make a lowly girl the queen.
They are saying that
rather than the current King, Prince Yeon Hoo is the true monarch.
Is Soo, I mean, His Majesty, alright?
They will appeal my succession to the throne.
The scholars are protesting
by simultaneously deserting the government offices.
That a woman of lowly birth has become queen
has spread to the people.
The day that Gae Ddong fainted
many court ladies heard me call her Gae Ddong.
Your Majesty, do not worry.
This is all the work of the Prime Minister and Vice Premier.
I'm aware.
How are the movements?
They say that Prince Yeon Hoo, who was in Qing, has returned to Hanyang.
Even before this,
the Prime Minister and Vice Premier's private soldiers
have been moving in secret.
-It seems... -It's a revolt.
Bring the Prime Minister and Vice Premier to the palace.
Yes, Your Majesty.
-Just leave them. -Yes.
It is said that the voice of the people is the voice from the heavens.
-That is why we must act! -You're right.
There are many guests lately.
It's not just lords. There have been performers too!
I think they're making them do something.
There are so many guests and we've been struggling.
Performers?
The private soldiers from the countryside will arrive soon.
It'll soon be the third round of the Royal Spousal Selection.
Your Majesty, it seems like you really want to get married...
but this time will be difficult as well.
Young master!
The matchmaker that made a lowly wench
into a noble lady for the Royal Spousal Selection...
Why have you made your way all the way here?
The poison that Lady Ma used against Lady Yoon... it was wolfsbane flower.
The flower that you have in your greenhouse and use as medicine.
What a coincidence!
Wolfsbane can be used as medicine but can also be used as poison.
It must also be a coincidence that the Crown Prince was poisoned
by wolfsbane as well, right?
Do you have proof?
It's an arrowhead that was found on the day that the Crown Prince died.
It's marked with the same number of the arrowheads
that a merchant, who was killed, sold.
How can something like this become evidence?
At the very least, it could change the arrow aimed at His Majesty
to go toward you, Father.
Then why don't you go tell the king?
Father, please stop here.
If you continue, it will become a poison.
Please.
Please stop saying that these things were right.
This is not from Matchmaker Ma Hoon.
This is the last request to you from your son.
I haven't seen him at all recently!
Where did you go?
Are you waiting for the Flower Crew to come rescue you?
Keep your hopes low. No one will find this place.
You're an animal.
Why did you think you could become a person, Chil Nom?
Big Unni.
I'm afraid of being punished.
No one has seen him with clothes that flashy.
How has no one seen him?
If he didn't go willingly...
Who would do this?
Keep a close eye on the Vice Premier.
I will.
I called you here to receive your report on that matter in the meantime.
Vice Premier, how is the investigation of my brother's death going?
Your Majesty, we thoroughly investigated the death of the Crown Prince
but the conclusion was that it was a group of bandits.
Is that the case? What a relief.
I was worried that the Prime Minister would be involved in some way.
I apologize for worrying with you with this.
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
Not to worry.
I will prepare for the third round of the Royal Spousal Selection.
This is Your Majesty's first ceremony since your accession to the throne.
It must end well.
Prime Minister, I'll need your help.
This subject will do his best.
Due to his personal feelings, he broke the law
and committed the sin of considering a lowly woman as the nation's mother,
through the last round of the Royal Spousal Selection
the whole nation has found out.
The present King has already met with dish on our,
he has lost the right to be the father of this nation.
Then we must correct this wrong.
Kimi Year,
Gyeyu Month, Samgyeontaek Day will become the day a new heaven opens for us.
The day of the third round of the Royal Spousal Selection is
when we will create a new heaven.
On Kimi Year, Gyeyu Month, Samgyeontaek Day
they will make their move.
Commander of the Royal Guard, is this a battle that we will win?
Or is it a battle we will lose?
Even though it seems we may lose,
we must fight as though we will win. That is a true battle, Your Majesty.
Yes, Commander of the Royal Guard.
Prepare for combat.
We must win this battle.
Your citizen, Moon Seok, will carry out Your Majesty's command.
Lady! There's someone from the palace here!
Please come out!
Tak Soo! I'm not a lady anymore.
Where did he go?
Soo. This...
Open it.
Yoon Soo Yeon, daughter of Yoon Dong Seok, has permission to marry.
This allows Yoon Dong Seok's daughter,
Yoon Soo Yeon
to marry.
You didn't make the cut. Cause you're ugly.
You used to say I was the prettiest.
There are so many beautiful women at the palace.
Soo.
Gae Ddong.
Don't worry about me and feel at peace.
And.
If anyone bothers you, tell me.
You know I'm the king.
Soo.
Bye.
♫ Like a dream ♫
I'll become a good king.
So that the place that you live will become a better place.
♫ The love that bloomed like flowers inside my parched self. ♫
♫ My longing overflowing, It was you ♫
♫ Even if time flows ♫
♫ this cannot flow away ♫
♫ This feeling which spread rosily ♫
Then, will that executioner be sent back to Yeonsanhyeon?
Once the marriage is over, there was an order to kill him.
Damn.
If you want, you can keep living as Soo Yeon.
It's been annoying and difficult to keep pretending to be a noble.
I think living as Gae Ddong is more true to myself.
So my Lord, please let go of your daughter.
Where are you going now?
I haven't decided yet.
But, I've decided whom I'll go with.
Thank you for everything.
If my daughter were still alive,
she would have been pretty and kind, just like you.
It's been a while since she said she would pack up and return.
My Lord is looking for you.
That story will go away.
Good job.
What is going on, Father?
You're not asking because you don't know.
I said I wanted to be the highest lady in Joseon.
I didn't say I wanted to destroy it.
Know your place
and quietly come when your father creates a new place for you.
I will decide my place.
Is that why you've fallen for this pathetic man
who can't even take the civil service exam?
Did you think I wouldn't find out?
I thought you were a bright and intelligent girl but
you're just like the silly young girls that fall in love.
-Father! -Kang Dal.
Yes, sir.
She needs to rest.
She is not to step foot outside of the annex.
Yes, sir.
Yoon Soo Yeon, daughter of Yoon Dong Seok, has permission to marry.
Stand on the side of your family.
If this revolt is successful, I'll save that girl for you and if you want,
I'll even let you get married.
Is this
your response to your son's request?
This is the answer from the head of this family.
Make your choice. Are you going to save the king and kill the girl?
Or will you kill the king and save the girl?
It seems like Yeong Soo has been caught by the Vice Premier.
Gae Ddong was kidnapped too.
The newbie? I'll look into this.
You won't be able to find her.
If it was somewhere that you and I could find her,
they wouldn't have taken her at all.
Since I know all the properties of my family,
he probably hid her at one of the Vice Premier's properties.
Somewhere that we couldn't find on our own,
somewhere only a family member would know.
My lady, what's going on?
Hey! Open the door!
Hey! Hey!
There's someone waiting for me!
Please open the door!
Three Months, how are you here?
Matchmaker, why are you here?
My lady, I told him no but...
I told the men outside to take a quick break
so you have to finish within 15 minutes.
Why are you here?
Gae Ddong was kidnapped by the Vice Premier.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I thought you may know where she is.
Did you think I would tell you?
Is this what you really wanted?
I hope our answer is the same.
Finally
it's tomorrow.
Please don't hurt yourself, Father.
Please be safe, my son.
Finally, it is tomorrow.
No. It's today.
Tonight, when the Commander of the Royal Guard is gone, we will make our move.
While I stage the revolt, you should invade the palace with the soldiers.
I will.
I'll see you in the new heaven.
Get ready!
Yes, sir!
Are you feeling okay?
I'm fine.
That's good.
Gae Ddong, then I...
It's at the bottom of the valley.
Let's go together.
If you succeed, I'll become the king's wife
and if you fail, I'll become a criminal's wife, don't you know?
No matter what you become
you are just you, to me.
Whenever it may be,
I'll come for you.
Make sure to get it done.
Now, we need to go see the king.
You've arrived, Prime Minister.
Your Majesty, you must come down from that seat.
This subject will assist you.
Bring her out.
Read the scroll, Queen Dowager.
Read it.
King Yi Soo, who succeeded the throne, after losing his royal sense of duty,
had personal relations with a woman of lowly status,
and by deeming her the nation's mother, disturbed the country and royal family.
Thereupon we depose the inept King.
No, this can't happen.
Your Majesty! The Prime Minister killed the king and the crown prince!
Please come down now.
The army will be here soon.
Before we drag you off, please come down yourself.
Yes, I think the time has come for you to step down,
Father.
All those by Kang Mong Goo and Yeon Hoo army's side have been subdued.
Good work.
How could you?
We will search for Gae Ddong on our side.
Don't be shaken and protect yourself.
That's the only way that Gae Ddong will live.
Will Gae Ddong be alright?
Your Majesty already knows.
That child is stronger than you think.
Second Chance.
Make your choice. Will you save the king and kill the girl?
Or will you kill the king and save the girl?
Father, please stop here.
Please.
Let go.
Father, please let go.
Are you going to defy me until the end?
Can't you live as my father and not as the Prime Minister? Just once?
Take your punishment.
That's the only way to make it up me and Hyung.
My crime is that I couldn't become the King.
Father.
Fa... Father.
Father!
Chil Nom! What are you going to do?
Today's the day you die.
Take him.
No!
Where are you taking him?
Matchmaker! Matchmaker!
Hey! Hey!
My stomach, my stomach hurts so badly.
Please open the door.
Dammit.
Save me! Someone save me please!
Please save me!
I don't know. I don't care.
Chil Nom, I feel bad for you.
It's the order I received. What can I do?
Don't resent me too much.
Three Months.
What are you doing? Let's go home.
We're family.
So be a good person.
Don't you know the natural consequences of your actions?
You said it wrong! How can you not know this?
Sure, sure you're so smart!
-"Sure!" -They're over there! Grab them!
Grab them!
Should I have just left him?
Arrest them!
What...
Little Unni! Why'd you come so late? We almost died!
Hey, I came quickly!
I'll take care of this so hurry along. There's someone waiting for you.
Matchmaker!
Second Chance.
Father!
Matchmaker!
Second chance.
You left this.
Are you hurt anywhere?
Are you alright?
Didn't we decide to stay together?
Because of me, you almost died.
How can I stay by your side?
Thanks to you, I lived. ♫ The times I endured alone ♫
When I was deserted at my wedding, you rescued me too.
In my life that revolved around earning my day's bread,
♫ wrapping you in my arms. ♫
You even taught me love, Matchmaker. ♫ Your two eyes like those of a child ♫
♫ When looking silently ♫
Matchmaker, you saved me.
♫ I'll smile loving you ♫
♫ Always be with you ♫
I... don't have anything now. ♫ With you ♫
♫ Now I won't let you go. ♫
And I didn't have anything from the start. ♫ Always be with you ♫
What more do we need?
♫ With you ♫
♫ The one person within me ♫
It's fine even if you don't have anything.
♫ It's you ♫
We just have to start again.
♫ It's you ♫
♫ With you ♫
-Arrest him! -Yes.
My lord...
What is going to happen?
Goodness, My Lord!
My Lord!
Criminal Kang Mong Goo is removed from his position and exiled to a remote island,
where he will be imprisoned in a thorn enclosure.
Moreover, the law considers all their children were implicated.
Since they tried through filial piety to correct their father's evil ways,
out of pity for them, I grant them special pardon.
1 year later.
Eunuch Jang.
Your Majesty is the one who postponed the Royal Spouse Selection for a year.
I can't give in, this time.
You are stammering again.
Yes. Your Majesty is scratching my insides (behaving in an annoying manner).
You aren't as fresh as when you entered the palace,
and you even became a bachelor.
Who are you calling a bachelor?
I am married to this nation.
Take that away.
Until when are you going to keep the queen's seat empty?
-Eunch Jang. -Look here.
-Just anyone... -Take it away...
Please decide on one, quick.
-Tidy this up. -How is this one? She's—.
Eunuch Jang!
Why are they closed?
Flower Agency.
We are closed for today.
Thank you.
If it were not for you, Matchmakers,
both the baby and I would have given up on life.
Thank you very much.
The miracle is your volition that never gave up until the end.
Thank you.
Bride and Groom, bow down.
Mama's there. Boing boing.
That was exhausting.
Here.
But where is Matchmaker Do?
That guy became the nation's worker now, since the King gave him a chance.
Tell Yi Do Ryeong that as long as he memorizes that,
he will pass the examination by this year.
Yes.
I didn't know my colleagues came from your hands.
If the path to the civil service examination is open,
even if I can't become a king,
I think I can go all the way to the nation's Three Offices.
Would you marry me?
Please wait.
I will go up to where you are,
wearing these flower shoes.
Waiting is what I do best.
They're adorable, right?
You're adorable too.
What are you saying...
You're handsome as well.
Are you envious?
Of course. Didn't you say so?
That matchmaking is about finding people.
These two, didn't they already find their only one?
It seems like you already found yours, as well.
Thank you to the entire My Fair Lady Team.
Thank you to Channel Manager: gecziamalia.
Thank you to segmenters: pilar_velacruz, dudie, cgwm808, kazumi_oka, and hana_860.
What did you come for?
What are you doing here? (in German)
On the way to Japan, our ship got caught in a storm.
So we suffered a shipwreck and ended up here.
He said that he came in Joseon after his ship was wrecked.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
What is he saying?
Whom do you want to marry?
There is a woman I would like to marry.
He says he has someone he loves.
Loves? That he loves?
That he loves.
What kind of person is she?
It's that woman.
Who is it?
Name, Yeon Ji.
25 years old.
Particularities: Princess.
This person is the previous king's second princess.
The previous king's... What?
Pr-Princess! No, not possible.
Go back. Phew.
I haven't spoken in German for so long, it's quite stifling.
I can't even sleep at night thinking about this woman,
and I feel like I'm going crazy.
Please let me marry her.
You should have said so earlier. Ah you scared me.
What have you brought here?
Matchmaker, you have to do it. Is a princess such a big deal?
Do it, Matchmaker. Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Please, I ask you.
He says please.
I'm in favour.
I'm in favour. And he said please.
He says he can't sleep.
Big Unni. Ah what are you going to do.
This marriage will be taken care of by the Flower Crew.
Did you see how much this is!
How much is this!
Then what about doing the luck-luck-luck here?
-Luck in fortune! -Luck in all achievements!
-Luck in marriage! -Luck, Luck, Luck!
Princess, eh? Yeon Ji.
You're perfect for a princess.
♫ Why of all things do I see you (all day long) ♫
♫ Why do I keep seeing only you ♫
♫ even when my eyes are closed ♫
♫ Maybe, perhaps ♫
♫ I like you. ♫
♫ Maybe like this (we two) ♫
♫ Resemble each other (in every way) ♫
♫ If I see you in pain ♫
♫ because I keep seeing you ♫
♫ My heart breaks ♫
