(This drama is based
on historical truth,)
(but includes fictional
characters and events.)
(Episode 11)
You guys! Guys!
Guess what I got today.
I was given
the Chunsum Jigi land as a bribe!
As of today I am,
much richer than
big brother Byung-woon!
Youngcho Kim Byung-hak
Hansug-bu governor (Modern day Seoul)
May I have a word?
Who is it!
Are you Kim Byung-woon?
Are you here to bribe me?
Sure! I am Lord Kim Byung-woon.
Now what!
If so...
I will take your life.
Why are you doing this?
what do you want?
You're Kim Byung-hak.
Tell Kim Byung-woon,
I will be taking his life.
What are you looking at!
Medicine from the King?
Yes, Your Royal Highness.
Your Majesty,
let Dojeonggung live, please!
I know him better than anyone,
he would never commit conspiracy!
Your Majesty,
please let Dojeonggung live!
I beg of you as an old lady!
It is too late, Your Royal Highness.
I would rather die instead.
Please let him live...
I am sorry.
Soon enough I will be joining
Dojeonggung in death.
When I see him,
I will ask for his forgiveness.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, it seems you
have forgotten who kept you safe
on the throne!
Now let me see...
It is a son.
Master Song Jin, is he that famous?
Yes! Master Song predicted
Lord Dojeonggung's execution.
He also knew that Lord Gu's son
passed the state exams!
It's like he is possessed!
Really, it's true!
That's...
That's my fraud technique...
Rumors say Lord Kim Byung-hak
was attacked by a ghost assassin...
But the ghost assassin was actually
looking for Lord Kim Byung-woon!
Really? No wonder...
Kim Byung-woon recruited
dozens of new guards...
Two 7s!
Why doesn't the ghost assassin
take away this idiot, huh?
Come on!
My ears going to fall off!
Can't you see we're all busy?
It's been such a long time
since Master Choi did readings,
can't you see all these people here
and how busy we are?
If you have eyes, look over there.
Does he look recovered and healthy?
Look at him trying to be helpful
in anyway possible!
Well...
I've been around the Hanyang
gambling scene for 10 years...
Huh? But that guy...
I sense something ominous about him...
What?
The Jangdong Kim-Moon...
Something smells real fishy...
Fishy...
You haven't washed in 10 days,
you're fishy!
Huh?
Did you ask for me, my lady?
No, it's just...
- No, I don't know!
- What?
Master Choi! I found her!
I found her!
You found her?
As you requested Master Choi,
I spread her portrait
throughout Hanyang.
They confirmed
that she is in fact in Hanyang,
I'll figure out her address
and let you know.
- Good job.
- It was nothing...
But Master!
Did you hear about
the new popular fortune teller?
You're right, there's a new guy acting
like you, Master Choi.
But he looks like a fraud.
No one can fool me,
do you know why?
I'm a fraud...
Anyways that's what they say.
Master, Prince Heungseon
is asking for you.
Your Royal Highness,
please get back to your feet.
All the relative's are anxious.
I don't worry
about any of the King's relatives.
Our Ha-jeon suffered
such a terrible fate,
but has anyone
besides you done anything about it!
My apologies, Your Royal Highness.
No need for your apologies.
You have done enough.
Your Royal Highness...
Please regain your health!
Your tears truly break my heart.
It would have been better
if I died instead of Dojeonggung.
What!
How could you say such a thing!
Instead of a useless child like myself,
Dojeonggung should have lived.
Stop speaking of such foolishness...
You must be sincere.
You must sincerely console
Her Royal Highness.
Yes, I understand.
Young Lord Jae-hwang was very sincere.
Her Royal Highness felt his heart.
I was surprised as well.
Did you see?
Until the moment we left,
Her Royal Highness held
Jae-hwang's hand tightly.
She did not let go.
Yes, I saw it too.
But... do not feel relief,
Kim Byung-woon will test and taunt you.
You must not be manipulated by him.
Do not worry,
I intend to live my life as a parako.
No matter what,
I will never show them our hope.
If that is true,
we will win this time.
Let us go.
Has the old fox's heart
has turned towards Prince Heungseon?
Miss!
Something terrible happened, miss!
Guests have arrived!
If guests arrived, isn't that
good for us? What happened?
The guests are...
Welcome, Madam Mistress.
(Na-hab, Kim Jwa-geun's concubine)
Why?
I am here to see you, of course.
I have heard of the powerful shaman
possessing a Western ghost,
I came to see her readings.
These days...
I have been inconsistent...
What?
How dare you act lazy in front of me.
Whatever the noble women ask
you must answer each and
every question. Do you understand!
Yes?
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Hey you.
Yes, you.
Come here and fan me,
I am feeling hot.
What are you waiting for?
Yes, Madam.
May I ask first?
Sure, my Lady.
About my little brother and marriage...
He is in love with a woman,
does he have a chance with her?
Yes, yes, yes... Let me see...
Let's see, let's see, let's see...
I see it, it's here!
I see good news!
What sort of woman is she?
Which family?
You haven't heard the rumors?
Her younger brother has...
Fallen in love with the Hwa-ryun
Princess. Everyone knows.
But listen...
My family is better off
compared to the princess!
I've heard so many rumors about
how beautiful she is but
I've seen her,
she's nothing compared to
the Prime minister's Lady Young-san.
Oh of course, of course.
- What are you saying
- She's right, she is!
The Prime minister's Lady,
Young-san's beauty is just radiant!
I shall answer your question.
The shaman's readings say...
Impossible!
Impossible?
Princess Hwa-ryun dares
to deny my brother!
Yes, she will never
have any relationships whatsoever
with your brother.
Are you sure you read correctly?
She's just a servant girl!
This is a bunch of lies!
Anyways, have you ladies heard
the news?
A new fortune teller arrived
in Hanyang.
Who? Master Choi?
No, someone mimicking
Master Choi arrived.
Oh! I've heard!
What was his name?
- Song Jin! Master Song!
- You're right.
Even after passing the state exams,
he threw that aside and
left to train his mind
in the mountains.
He must be very clairvoyant!
My lady, Lord Kim Byung-woon,
Lord Kim Byung-hak,
and Prince Heungseon are arriving.
The Kim brothers?
Let us leave, before they see us
and nag us about being here!
- Where?!
- This way.
Where, where, where...
They're gone?
They're so boisterous, really!
Are you alright, princess?
I feel like I just lost
10 years of my life.
There's no time to waste.
We cannot wait for that child all day,
let us leave.
It's me.
Do not be startled.
Why are you here, my Lord?
I have important and urgent matters.
Is something wrong?
I've found her.
I've found your mother.
Miss!
Pardon me?
I have also found out
where she is staying in Hanyang.
Will you leave now?
No, wait.
I have someone to take with me.
Someone to take with you?
Someone who misses
my mother as much as I.
Amazing!
Truly a disciple of professor Chusa.
Prince Heungseon's
painting is amazing!
I've always wanted to give one
to the Kim-Moon Family.
Bring it over here.
Prince Heungseon's paintings are
very common.
I guess every time
the Prince Heungseon needed money
he would paint one and sell it.
Very many noble households have one,
am I right?
Everyone knows
about my financial problems,
this Seokpa-nan is
the only thing I have to offer...
Please accept my painting.
Forget the incident
with Dojeonggung and
I hope everyone can forgive me.
Here, here, what an honest apology.
Lord? Will you forgive me too?
Everyone makes mistakes
trying to protect their country.
But...
Prince Heungseon, how will I know
when you have a change of heart,
and betray your family again?
How can I prove my loyalty?
I will do anything.
Could you crawl
under that child's skirt?
As the famous general Hanxin did,
could you show enough remorse to crawl
between a girl's legs?
If so, I will gladly forgive you.
You joke too much, my Lord.
I have nothing to lose!
Play some music!
Song-hwa, open up your skirt!
I will pay my respects to Lord Kim!
You joke too much, my Lord.
Stand up, stand up.
Now, now, now, now.
Play the music louder!
Now, now, now, let's see!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Spread your skirt apart, yes?
Song-hwa, Song-hwa.
Now, now, now.
Spread them out like this!
Here? here?
Here, here.
Here?
My goodness!
As you command!
My stomach!
MY goodness... My stomach...
Who are you!
Lord Hwasa, do you remember me?
I have met you before.
Please just grant me
a few moments of your time.
I have something to tell you.
Put down your swords.
What was your name?
(Ban-dal, Shaman)
Your Majesty?
Mom!
My child.
My child.
Ban-dal...
Stop wandering by yourself,
and return to Hanyang.
Your Majesty, I cannot do that.
I will cause harm to Bong-ryun.
If it's because of the Kim-Moons,
I have acquired a secret,
quiet residence for you.
I may be a powerless King but,
I will protect you and Bong-ryun.
Back when I was the young
governor of Ganghwa,
you were the first woman
I loved...
Not just a woman
who has given me a child.
I cannot see you
roam these dangerous lands by yourself.
How could I sleep and
enjoy a meal, knowing this?
Your Majesty...
Ban-dal,
Your child has been taken away
and you were left alone...
How difficult was it?
How terrible of a life?
Your Majesty, I am alright.
I am truly alright.
Live in the residence
I've secured for you.
From now on...
Please allow me...
to protect you.
Mom, you can stay here now.
Father will secretly dispatch
royal guards around.
With the guards protecting you
day and night,
you don't have to worry
about the Kim-Moons anymore.
I am not sure if I should stay here.
It is my turn to protect you, Mom.
So don't run away alone again.
How do you feel about Bong-ryun?
I am Bong-ryun's mother.
Is it rude to ask such things to
the man around my daughter?
No, it is rightful
for a mother to be concerned.
I am her mother, but also a shaman.
My eye's see your honorable destiny.
You have both the
Gwangseunggeol fate and
the fate of a sorrowful crying dragon.
I have much pity for you Lord.
You want me to leave Bong-ryun
because of my ironic fate,
that is what you wish?
Could you do that?
When my father died,
I died with him.
My life afterwards,
was a muddy and dark,
revengeful life like a corpse.
Bong-ryun was the only reason
to go on in such a life.
She is the light that kept me going.
No matter how hard a man tries,
destiny always prevails.
No matter what my destiny says,
I will stay by Bong-ryun and
protect her with my last breath.
Please forgive me, Mother.
Mom?
Yes.
- Bong-ryun.
- Yes.
Nevermind.
Thank you for finding my mom.
No need to thank me.
I am just sorry it took so long.
Did something happen
between you and mother?
It's a secret.
♫ I will only love you forever ♫
♫ On the path of life ♫
♫ That endlessly spreads out ♫
♫ I've held your hand ♫
♫ So I thought we'd
be together forever ♫
The reason I have gathered
all of the King's relatives is because
we must give the King
our unified stand.
How could you be like this
when Dojeonggung recently died.
Big brother!
Power does not wait for anyone.
Do you think the Kim-Moons
will leave the throne vacant?
We must all come to an agreement
before they do.
Everyone here believes
their own son deserves to be King.
How will we come to an agreement?
(Yun Chi-Sung,
Lee Ha-jeon's personal warrior guard)
My Lord...
I will get you out of here.
No, you must not do that.
(Prince Gyeongwon Lee Ha-jeon,
Dojeonggung)
This seems to be my end.
Kim Byung-woon manipulating me,
breaks my heart.
I feel pathetic, but
I am more outraged
with Choi Chun-joong's clever tongue.
If it weren't for him,
if he hadn't shown up that day...
Things could have been different.
You must...
Survive no matter what,
and avenge me.
Chi-sung...
Speak!
Who truly is the next king!
The true king is...
the person who survives.
The person with the king's presence
and born to rule our nation is
this child right here!
I will avenge...
My Lord's pain.
How are the king's relatives reacting
to Dojeonggung's death?
According to Prince Heungin,
Prince Heungseon
gathered all the relatives,
but they couldn't agree on anything
and quarreled.
How obvious.
No wonder they lost all their power
to our family.
Didn't you have a favor to ask of me?
Why aren't you requesting?
Because I failed to
eliminate Prince Heungseon.
It's fine, speak.
I ask if you could give me
full control of watching and
guarding the princess.
Will you grant me this?
Tasking you to guard the princess is
like tasking a cat to guard the fish.
Are you aware that the princess is
secretly meeting Chun-joong?
At least I am a person of the Kim-Moon.
The princess belongs to the Kim-Moon,
and I am truly aware of that fact.
Sure,
I doubt there is anyone in Joseon,
who would watch the
princess so intensely.
Fine, I grant you full responsibility
over the princess.
I will do my best, my Lord.
Huh? It's you!
A letter from Wallsung-Ru.
I was strictly told to give it
to the princess directly.
Alright, I will bring the princess.
Stay here!
Don't move and wait for us!
As you command.
(Min Ja-young,
Future Queen Myeongseong)
Anyone there?
How dare you!
Who are you!
Get him!
Who are you!
Please don't!
Move aside!
What are you doing!
Put down your sword!
Put down your sword.
Our Lord is injured!
It's the assassin!
My princess, lieutenant Chae is here.
My apologies, my princess.
Why are you here at such an hour?
Lord Kim Byung-woon has been attacked.
Is everything alright here?
As you can see, nothing wrong.
You showing up is the worst incident.
Moving forward you will have to deal
with me everyday.
Right now I must find the assassin,
I will see you tomorrow.
He left.
How is he doing?
He is pale and has a fever.
His cut is not deep but,
I think he was cut with poison.
Poison?
I wouldn't expect less
from Lord Byung-woon.
Dana, quietly go to Baeogae
and request for two people.
We must take him to Lord Chun-joong.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you mean Master Choi
of Baeogae street?
Do you know him?
Yes.
What is your name
and where do you live?
I am Min Ja-young,
from the apothecary in Gamgodang,
my Princess.
Ja-young, Min Ja-young...
Finally we are introduced.
My Princess?
Stay still.
We have applied an antidote,
for now you must
take medicine and rest,
until the poison has left your body.
You have to live in order to kill me.
- Lord warrior!
- You must not!
What do you have against this man?
He has done nothing wrong.
I am sorry, my Princess,
but... Lord Ha-jeong Lee despised him
with his dying breath.
What?
He said if that man read
his destiny truthfully,
his fate would not have ended
so terribly.
It's true, I chose Prince Heungseon
over Dojeonggung.
If you wish to avenge him,
go ahead.
But promise me one thing.
After killing me,
do not commit suicide.
What?
You are born to protect Joseon
as the Wolf of baekdu mountains.
When the new king is crowned,
we must extend
the boarders of our Joseon.
Dojeonggung would have wanted you
to complete
your tasks as a warrior
and fulfill your own destiny.
You are destined to give
your life protecting Joseon,
by dying a warrior's death
on the battlefield.
Do not forget your destiny.
I know you know,
he has nothing to do
with Dojeonggung's death.
Your rage for being unable
to protect Dojeonggung,
is directed towards him.
We dream of the same future...
Our paths will cross again.
Be safe.
We are looking for the murder
that goes by,
the 'Ghost Assassin'.
Whomever brings him to us
will be greatly rewarded.
If anyone finds out his identity,
will also be rewarded.
I guess they don't know the
Ghost Assassin is Yun Chi-Sung.
If that man is caught...
Wouldn't Lord Chun-joong be taken
for abiding and helping him?
Of course.
Lieutenant Chae is very cruel.
You're right...
Please, let me live my Lord...
Why'd you have to
come all the way here?
Don't you have
a young daughter and old mother,
waiting for you back in Ganghwa?
Yes...
I have sent men,
to bring your mother
and daughter here.
When your daughter
is tied up here like you,
it would be hard to bare.
My Lord...
I will do as you ask, please.
I will do as you command, my Lord.
Where did I put it......
- Oh my God!
- Quiet.
It's me, me, me...
What's wrong?
Where could he be going
at this time?
I always suspected him,
do not tell Master Choi yet.
I will watch him
until I can prove something, then...
I'll destroy him!
Hey! Where are you going?
Where?
Disgusting...
Putting his dirty hands on me!
Going somewhere?
I know guys like you very well.
Why are you coming out of
the Kim-Moon's residence!
Why are you doing this?
Come here.
Come here! Come here!
I knew there was something going on!
Hey, everyone come out!
Come out!
I told you something
was wrong with him!
Master, Master come here!
He was spying on us
for the Kim-Moons!
- No!
- Liar!
Didn't you secretly go
through Master's things?
- Auntie you saw it too!
- I didn't see him actually do it but...
What did you give the Kim-Moons?
What are you doing!
- I said I didn't.
- What did you give them!
Stop!
What do you mean stop!
Being so naive has allowed
this man to creep around!
I knew he was suspicious.
Huh, What?
What's this?
- Look here!
- Give it back!
Look here, huh?
Come on, what did I say?
Were you rewarded or something?
What is this, huh?
Hyunyang Choi Family, 31st relative,
Choi Chun-joong's...
An inheritance?
Huh?
Hyunyang Choi Family, 31st relative,
Choi Chun-joong's...
An inheritance?
Huh?
Give it back!
When I found out
Chae In-gyu was following me,
I quickly hid this inheritance letter.
I finally got it back tonight.
I'm sorry my Lord,
I should have told you earlier.
But I couldn't risk In-gyu finding out,
so I moved in secrecy.
Your granduncle Hwan Choi has
left me with your inheritance letter.
For me to die peacefully,
I had to get it to you no matter what.
I present you the Choi Family
inheritance, my Lord!
(Bunjaegi-myeongmun:
An inheritance of 1200 majigi and houses.)
800,000 square meters of land?
Master... You're now wealthy.
Really?
Millionaire?
We're all millionaires!
Millionaire!
Millionaire!
My goodness!
My apologies.
Everything you do is wrong,
you idiot.
I will accept
my ancestor's gift with honor.
Please forgive
such an undeserving descendant.
You have all agreed
to give Dojeonggung's vacant position,
to my son Jae-hwang?
Is this everyone's decision?
Yes.
Thank you.
I will never forget everyone's support,
I will repay this debt.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I am so worried.
Master!
These two fools are my friends
from back home.
They do not study at all,
nor do they work the farms.
Everyday is wasted
and their parents are very concerned.
Master!
I'm worried about my future too.
Are we destined to even earn enough
to put food on the table,
Master Choi,
please tell us our destiny.
Please do your readings on us.
What do you do together all the time?
We...
We have been singing.
Singing?
Yes, singing!
Shut up!
Does singing feed you?
Quite good.
Good job.
Both of you should spend
your life singing.
Master!
How could you say such a cruel thing?
It isn't cruel!
Both of them have a talent of grabbing
people's attention,
the destiny of an entertainer.
Live while doing what you enjoy most,
and one day you will be rewarded.
Is this really true?
Thank you Master! Thank you.
Thank you.
Your reputation is well deserved.
Our Master is...
The best!

Hey, hey.
Who are they?
My friends from back home.
Master, a letter
from Her Royal Highness' court lady
Her Royal Highness has commanded you and
Prince Heungseon to come to the palace.
Why is she summoning us?
Your feet must be cold...
Father.
You woke up.
I've woken you up.
No, Father.
Are you going to bed, Father?
Yes.
Jae-hwang, I have a question for you.
Yes, please ask.
In a far away land,
there once was a young King,
similar of age to you.
But his father was not a king,
but an ordinary man.
The king's father
was not a king himself?
Right.
So must the king treat his own father
as someone below him,
or even as a king,
treat his father as a good son?
But he is still his father...
How can someone treat
their own father below them?
Even a king must be respectful to
his father.
Right, my son.
My son Jae-hwang,
you are a good son.
Her Royal Highness has summoned you
to the palace.
Tomorrow Jae-hwang.
Tomorrow is the day.
Tomorrow... Jae-hwang.
Hearing that you regained your health,
brings joy to us, Your Royal Highness.
I received unexpected good news,
which helped me back up.
Pardon me?
What's going on?
Why has she summoned
Lord Chun-joong and me?
Now that we are gathered,
I have someone to show you.
He will be a great asset to the throne
in the future.
Who are you presenting to us?
Come in.
Raise your head.
Prince Heungseon, look at this child.
Doesn't he look promising?
He reminds me of Ha-jeon.
Dojeonggung?
What do you mean...
He looks just like Ha-jeon
when he was young.
He has a similar
destiny to Ha-jeon and,
he is also a King's relative!
He is Prince Yeongun, Lee Min,
the son of the deceased Prince Hoepyeong.
Hoepyeong is said to have died young
without children...
Who has brought this child claiming
he is the son of Hoepyeong?
Lord Lee Hang-ro
brought this child to us.
A famous fortune teller
like Master Choi also, claimed
he is king worthy.
Show your respects to
Prince Heungseon.
This guy is... Song Jin!
This man is Song Jin,
he has found Hoepyeong's descendant,
and read this child's destiny.
It is an honor to meet you,
Prince Heungseon.
How could you trust this man,
Your Royal Highness!
He is here
with Lord Hang-ro's blessings!
Lord Hang-ro is no ordinary Lord,
what more do you need?
This child amazes me,
it's as if my Ha-jeon has come back
from the dead.
I will make this child the next king
in place of Ha-jeon!
♫ I still remember what you said to me ♫
♫ Even after the seasons
change and flow ♫
(King Maker: The Change of Destiny)
What do you see in Prince Yeongun?
He does not have
the presence of a King either.
If I support him
I can create any presence I desire.
Suddenly he has a son?
You must investigate
Prince Yeongun thoroughly.
I will investigate Song Jin.
How is he doing?
Why can't you answer me!
If I'd known you were
such a handsome man,
I would have came here earlier.
Since brother Byung-woon
is in critical condition...
In order to take over managing
the family assets,
I need everyone's consent.
What a beautiful sight!
As you predicted,
as the birth mark was
shown on his wrist,
she completely believed it.
It's a curse!
Why did you make such
a terrible prophecy?
I merely spoke the
truth for this country.
The patients there
make me lose my appetite.
Hey, you two.
My apologies, my Lord.
We spoke out of line.
Out of line?!
The disease is not killing the people,
it is everyone sitting at this table!
We must protect this place.

characters and events.)
(Episode 11)
You guys! Guys!
Guess what I got today.
I was given
the Chunsum Jigi land as a bribe!
As of today I am,
much richer than
big brother Byung-woon!
Youngcho Kim Byung-hak
Hansug-bu governor (Modern day Seoul)
May I have a word?
Who is it!
Are you Kim Byung-woon?
Are you here to bribe me?
Sure! I am Lord Kim Byung-woon.
Now what!
If so...
I will take your life.
Why are you doing this?
what do you want?
You're Kim Byung-hak.
Tell Kim Byung-woon,
I will be taking his life.
What are you looking at!
Medicine from the King?
Yes, Your Royal Highness.
Your Majesty,
let Dojeonggung live, please!
I know him better than anyone,
he would never commit conspiracy!
Your Majesty,
please let Dojeonggung live!
I beg of you as an old lady!
It is too late, Your Royal Highness.
I would rather die instead.
Please let him live...
I am sorry.
Soon enough I will be joining
Dojeonggung in death.
When I see him,
I will ask for his forgiveness.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, it seems you
have forgotten who kept you safe
on the throne!
Now let me see...
It is a son.
Master Song Jin, is he that famous?
Yes! Master Song predicted
Lord Dojeonggung's execution.
He also knew that Lord Gu's son
passed the state exams!
It's like he is possessed!
Really, it's true!
That's...
That's my fraud technique...
Rumors say Lord Kim Byung-hak
was attacked by a ghost assassin...
But the ghost assassin was actually
looking for Lord Kim Byung-woon!
Really? No wonder...
Kim Byung-woon recruited
dozens of new guards...
Two 7s!
Why doesn't the ghost assassin
take away this idiot, huh?
Come on!
My ears going to fall off!
Can't you see we're all busy?
It's been such a long time
since Master Choi did readings,
can't you see all these people here
and how busy we are?
If you have eyes, look over there.
Does he look recovered and healthy?
Look at him trying to be helpful
in anyway possible!
Well...
I've been around the Hanyang
gambling scene for 10 years...
Huh? But that guy...
I sense something ominous about him...
What?
The Jangdong Kim-Moon...
Something smells real fishy...
Fishy...
You haven't washed in 10 days,
you're fishy!
Huh?
Did you ask for me, my lady?
No, it's just...
- No, I don't know!
- What?
Master Choi! I found her!
I found her!
You found her?
As you requested Master Choi,
I spread her portrait
throughout Hanyang.
They confirmed
that she is in fact in Hanyang,
I'll figure out her address
and let you know.
- Good job.
- It was nothing...
But Master!
Did you hear about
the new popular fortune teller?
You're right, there's a new guy acting
like you, Master Choi.
But he looks like a fraud.
No one can fool me,
do you know why?
I'm a fraud...
Anyways that's what they say.
Master, Prince Heungseon
is asking for you.
Your Royal Highness,
please get back to your feet.
All the relative's are anxious.
I don't worry
about any of the King's relatives.
Our Ha-jeon suffered
such a terrible fate,
but has anyone
besides you done anything about it!
My apologies, Your Royal Highness.
No need for your apologies.
You have done enough.
Your Royal Highness...
Please regain your health!
Your tears truly break my heart.
It would have been better
if I died instead of Dojeonggung.
What!
How could you say such a thing!
Instead of a useless child like myself,
Dojeonggung should have lived.
Stop speaking of such foolishness...
You must be sincere.
You must sincerely console
Her Royal Highness.
Yes, I understand.
Young Lord Jae-hwang was very sincere.
Her Royal Highness felt his heart.
I was surprised as well.
Did you see?
Until the moment we left,
Her Royal Highness held
Jae-hwang's hand tightly.
She did not let go.
Yes, I saw it too.
But... do not feel relief,
Kim Byung-woon will test and taunt you.
You must not be manipulated by him.
Do not worry,
I intend to live my life as a parako.
No matter what,
I will never show them our hope.
If that is true,
we will win this time.
Let us go.
Has the old fox's heart
has turned towards Prince Heungseon?
Miss!
Something terrible happened, miss!
Guests have arrived!
If guests arrived, isn't that
good for us? What happened?
The guests are...
Welcome, Madam Mistress.
(Na-hab, Kim Jwa-geun's concubine)
Why?
I am here to see you, of course.
I have heard of the powerful shaman
possessing a Western ghost,
I came to see her readings.
These days...
I have been inconsistent...
What?
How dare you act lazy in front of me.
Whatever the noble women ask
you must answer each and
every question. Do you understand!
Yes?
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Hey you.
Yes, you.
Come here and fan me,
I am feeling hot.
What are you waiting for?
Yes, Madam.
May I ask first?
Sure, my Lady.
About my little brother and marriage...
He is in love with a woman,
does he have a chance with her?
Yes, yes, yes... Let me see...
Let's see, let's see, let's see...
I see it, it's here!
I see good news!
What sort of woman is she?
Which family?
You haven't heard the rumors?
Her younger brother has...
Fallen in love with the Hwa-ryun
Princess. Everyone knows.
But listen...
My family is better off
compared to the princess!
I've heard so many rumors about
how beautiful she is but
I've seen her,
she's nothing compared to
the Prime minister's Lady Young-san.
Oh of course, of course.
- What are you saying
- She's right, she is!
The Prime minister's Lady,
Young-san's beauty is just radiant!
I shall answer your question.
The shaman's readings say...
Impossible!
Impossible?
Princess Hwa-ryun dares
to deny my brother!
Yes, she will never
have any relationships whatsoever
with your brother.
Are you sure you read correctly?
She's just a servant girl!
This is a bunch of lies!
Anyways, have you ladies heard
the news?
A new fortune teller arrived
in Hanyang.
Who? Master Choi?
No, someone mimicking
Master Choi arrived.
Oh! I've heard!
What was his name?
- Song Jin! Master Song!
- You're right.
Even after passing the state exams,
he threw that aside and
left to train his mind
in the mountains.
He must be very clairvoyant!
My lady, Lord Kim Byung-woon,
Lord Kim Byung-hak,
and Prince Heungseon are arriving.
The Kim brothers?
Let us leave, before they see us
and nag us about being here!
- Where?!
- This way.
Where, where, where...
They're gone?
They're so boisterous, really!
Are you alright, princess?
I feel like I just lost
10 years of my life.
There's no time to waste.
We cannot wait for that child all day,
let us leave.
It's me.
Do not be startled.
Why are you here, my Lord?
I have important and urgent matters.
Is something wrong?
I've found her.
I've found your mother.
Miss!
Pardon me?
I have also found out
where she is staying in Hanyang.
Will you leave now?
No, wait.
I have someone to take with me.
Someone to take with you?
Someone who misses
my mother as much as I.
Amazing!
Truly a disciple of professor Chusa.
Prince Heungseon's
painting is amazing!
I've always wanted to give one
to the Kim-Moon Family.
Bring it over here.
Prince Heungseon's paintings are
very common.
I guess every time
the Prince Heungseon needed money
he would paint one and sell it.
Very many noble households have one,
am I right?
Everyone knows
about my financial problems,
this Seokpa-nan is
the only thing I have to offer...
Please accept my painting.
Forget the incident
with Dojeonggung and
I hope everyone can forgive me.
Here, here, what an honest apology.
Lord? Will you forgive me too?
Everyone makes mistakes
trying to protect their country.
But...
Prince Heungseon, how will I know
when you have a change of heart,
and betray your family again?
How can I prove my loyalty?
I will do anything.
Could you crawl
under that child's skirt?
As the famous general Hanxin did,
could you show enough remorse to crawl
between a girl's legs?
If so, I will gladly forgive you.
You joke too much, my Lord.
I have nothing to lose!
Play some music!
Song-hwa, open up your skirt!
I will pay my respects to Lord Kim!
You joke too much, my Lord.
Stand up, stand up.
Now, now, now, now.
Play the music louder!
Now, now, now, let's see!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Spread your skirt apart, yes?
Song-hwa, Song-hwa.
Now, now, now.
Spread them out like this!
Here? here?
Here, here.
Here?
My goodness!
As you command!
My stomach!
MY goodness... My stomach...
Who are you!
Lord Hwasa, do you remember me?
I have met you before.
Please just grant me
a few moments of your time.
I have something to tell you.
Put down your swords.
What was your name?
(Ban-dal, Shaman)
Your Majesty?
Mom!
My child.
My child.
Ban-dal...
Stop wandering by yourself,
and return to Hanyang.
Your Majesty, I cannot do that.
I will cause harm to Bong-ryun.
If it's because of the Kim-Moons,
I have acquired a secret,
quiet residence for you.
I may be a powerless King but,
I will protect you and Bong-ryun.
Back when I was the young
governor of Ganghwa,
you were the first woman
I loved...
Not just a woman
who has given me a child.
I cannot see you
roam these dangerous lands by yourself.
How could I sleep and
enjoy a meal, knowing this?
Your Majesty...
Ban-dal,
Your child has been taken away
and you were left alone...
How difficult was it?
How terrible of a life?
Your Majesty, I am alright.
I am truly alright.
Live in the residence
I've secured for you.
From now on...
Please allow me...
to protect you.
Mom, you can stay here now.
Father will secretly dispatch
royal guards around.
With the guards protecting you
day and night,
you don't have to worry
about the Kim-Moons anymore.
I am not sure if I should stay here.
It is my turn to protect you, Mom.
So don't run away alone again.
How do you feel about Bong-ryun?
I am Bong-ryun's mother.
Is it rude to ask such things to
the man around my daughter?
No, it is rightful
for a mother to be concerned.
I am her mother, but also a shaman.
My eye's see your honorable destiny.
You have both the
Gwangseunggeol fate and
the fate of a sorrowful crying dragon.
I have much pity for you Lord.
You want me to leave Bong-ryun
because of my ironic fate,
that is what you wish?
Could you do that?
When my father died,
I died with him.
My life afterwards,
was a muddy and dark,
revengeful life like a corpse.
Bong-ryun was the only reason
to go on in such a life.
She is the light that kept me going.
No matter how hard a man tries,
destiny always prevails.
No matter what my destiny says,
I will stay by Bong-ryun and
protect her with my last breath.
Please forgive me, Mother.
Mom?
Yes.
- Bong-ryun.
- Yes.
Nevermind.
Thank you for finding my mom.
No need to thank me.
I am just sorry it took so long.
Did something happen
between you and mother?
It's a secret.
♫ I will only love you forever ♫
♫ On the path of life ♫
♫ That endlessly spreads out ♫
♫ I've held your hand ♫
♫ So I thought we'd
be together forever ♫
The reason I have gathered
all of the King's relatives is because
we must give the King
our unified stand.
How could you be like this
when Dojeonggung recently died.
Big brother!
Power does not wait for anyone.
Do you think the Kim-Moons
will leave the throne vacant?
We must all come to an agreement
before they do.
Everyone here believes
their own son deserves to be King.
How will we come to an agreement?
(Yun Chi-Sung,
Lee Ha-jeon's personal warrior guard)
My Lord...
I will get you out of here.
No, you must not do that.
(Prince Gyeongwon Lee Ha-jeon,
Dojeonggung)
This seems to be my end.
Kim Byung-woon manipulating me,
breaks my heart.
I feel pathetic, but
I am more outraged
with Choi Chun-joong's clever tongue.
If it weren't for him,
if he hadn't shown up that day...
Things could have been different.
You must...
Survive no matter what,
and avenge me.
Chi-sung...
Speak!
Who truly is the next king!
The true king is...
the person who survives.
The person with the king's presence
and born to rule our nation is
this child right here!
I will avenge...
My Lord's pain.
How are the king's relatives reacting
to Dojeonggung's death?
According to Prince Heungin,
Prince Heungseon
gathered all the relatives,
but they couldn't agree on anything
and quarreled.
How obvious.
No wonder they lost all their power
to our family.
Didn't you have a favor to ask of me?
Why aren't you requesting?
Because I failed to
eliminate Prince Heungseon.
It's fine, speak.
I ask if you could give me
full control of watching and
guarding the princess.
Will you grant me this?
Tasking you to guard the princess is
like tasking a cat to guard the fish.
Are you aware that the princess is
secretly meeting Chun-joong?
At least I am a person of the Kim-Moon.
The princess belongs to the Kim-Moon,
and I am truly aware of that fact.
Sure,
I doubt there is anyone in Joseon,
who would watch the
princess so intensely.
Fine, I grant you full responsibility
over the princess.
I will do my best, my Lord.
Huh? It's you!
A letter from Wallsung-Ru.
I was strictly told to give it
to the princess directly.
Alright, I will bring the princess.
Stay here!
Don't move and wait for us!
As you command.
(Min Ja-young,
Future Queen Myeongseong)
Anyone there?
How dare you!
Who are you!
Get him!
Who are you!
Please don't!
Move aside!
What are you doing!
Put down your sword!
Put down your sword.
Our Lord is injured!
It's the assassin!
My princess, lieutenant Chae is here.
My apologies, my princess.
Why are you here at such an hour?
Lord Kim Byung-woon has been attacked.
Is everything alright here?
As you can see, nothing wrong.
You showing up is the worst incident.
Moving forward you will have to deal
with me everyday.
Right now I must find the assassin,
I will see you tomorrow.
He left.
How is he doing?
He is pale and has a fever.
His cut is not deep but,
I think he was cut with poison.
Poison?
I wouldn't expect less
from Lord Byung-woon.
Dana, quietly go to Baeogae
and request for two people.
We must take him to Lord Chun-joong.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you mean Master Choi
of Baeogae street?
Do you know him?
Yes.
What is your name
and where do you live?
I am Min Ja-young,
from the apothecary in Gamgodang,
my Princess.
Ja-young, Min Ja-young...
Finally we are introduced.
My Princess?
Stay still.
We have applied an antidote,
for now you must
take medicine and rest,
until the poison has left your body.
You have to live in order to kill me.
- Lord warrior!
- You must not!
What do you have against this man?
He has done nothing wrong.
I am sorry, my Princess,
but... Lord Ha-jeong Lee despised him
with his dying breath.
What?
He said if that man read
his destiny truthfully,
his fate would not have ended
so terribly.
It's true, I chose Prince Heungseon
over Dojeonggung.
If you wish to avenge him,
go ahead.
But promise me one thing.
After killing me,
do not commit suicide.
What?
You are born to protect Joseon
as the Wolf of baekdu mountains.
When the new king is crowned,
we must extend
the boarders of our Joseon.
Dojeonggung would have wanted you
to complete
your tasks as a warrior
and fulfill your own destiny.
You are destined to give
your life protecting Joseon,
by dying a warrior's death
on the battlefield.
Do not forget your destiny.
I know you know,
he has nothing to do
with Dojeonggung's death.
Your rage for being unable
to protect Dojeonggung,
is directed towards him.
We dream of the same future...
Our paths will cross again.
Be safe.
We are looking for the murder
that goes by,
the 'Ghost Assassin'.
Whomever brings him to us
will be greatly rewarded.
If anyone finds out his identity,
will also be rewarded.
I guess they don't know the
Ghost Assassin is Yun Chi-Sung.
If that man is caught...
Wouldn't Lord Chun-joong be taken
for abiding and helping him?
Of course.
Lieutenant Chae is very cruel.
You're right...
Please, let me live my Lord...
Why'd you have to
come all the way here?
Don't you have
a young daughter and old mother,
waiting for you back in Ganghwa?
Yes...
I have sent men,
to bring your mother
and daughter here.
When your daughter
is tied up here like you,
it would be hard to bare.
My Lord...
I will do as you ask, please.
I will do as you command, my Lord.
Where did I put it......
- Oh my God!
- Quiet.
It's me, me, me...
What's wrong?
Where could he be going
at this time?
I always suspected him,
do not tell Master Choi yet.
I will watch him
until I can prove something, then...
I'll destroy him!
Hey! Where are you going?
Where?
Disgusting...
Putting his dirty hands on me!
Going somewhere?
I know guys like you very well.
Why are you coming out of
the Kim-Moon's residence!
Why are you doing this?
Come here.
Come here! Come here!
I knew there was something going on!
Hey, everyone come out!
Come out!
I told you something
was wrong with him!
Master, Master come here!
He was spying on us
for the Kim-Moons!
- No!
- Liar!
Didn't you secretly go
through Master's things?
- Auntie you saw it too!
- I didn't see him actually do it but...
What did you give the Kim-Moons?
What are you doing!
- I said I didn't.
- What did you give them!
Stop!
What do you mean stop!
Being so naive has allowed
this man to creep around!
I knew he was suspicious.
Huh, What?
What's this?
- Look here!
- Give it back!
Look here, huh?
Come on, what did I say?
Were you rewarded or something?
What is this, huh?
Hyunyang Choi Family, 31st relative,
Choi Chun-joong's...
An inheritance?
Huh?
Hyunyang Choi Family, 31st relative,
Choi Chun-joong's...
An inheritance?
Huh?
Give it back!
When I found out
Chae In-gyu was following me,
I quickly hid this inheritance letter.
I finally got it back tonight.
I'm sorry my Lord,
I should have told you earlier.
But I couldn't risk In-gyu finding out,
so I moved in secrecy.
Your granduncle Hwan Choi has
left me with your inheritance letter.
For me to die peacefully,
I had to get it to you no matter what.
I present you the Choi Family
inheritance, my Lord!
(Bunjaegi-myeongmun:
An inheritance of 1200 majigi and houses.)
800,000 square meters of land?
Master... You're now wealthy.
Really?
Millionaire?
We're all millionaires!
Millionaire!
Millionaire!
My goodness!
My apologies.
Everything you do is wrong,
you idiot.
I will accept
my ancestor's gift with honor.
Please forgive
such an undeserving descendant.
You have all agreed
to give Dojeonggung's vacant position,
to my son Jae-hwang?
Is this everyone's decision?
Yes.
Thank you.
I will never forget everyone's support,
I will repay this debt.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I am so worried.
Master!
These two fools are my friends
from back home.
They do not study at all,
nor do they work the farms.
Everyday is wasted
and their parents are very concerned.
Master!
I'm worried about my future too.
Are we destined to even earn enough
to put food on the table,
Master Choi,
please tell us our destiny.
Please do your readings on us.
What do you do together all the time?
We...
We have been singing.
Singing?
Yes, singing!
Shut up!
Does singing feed you?
Quite good.
Good job.
Both of you should spend
your life singing.
Master!
How could you say such a cruel thing?
It isn't cruel!
Both of them have a talent of grabbing
people's attention,
the destiny of an entertainer.
Live while doing what you enjoy most,
and one day you will be rewarded.
Is this really true?
Thank you Master! Thank you.
Thank you.
Your reputation is well deserved.
Our Master is...
The best!

Hey, hey.
Who are they?
My friends from back home.
Master, a letter
from Her Royal Highness' court lady
Her Royal Highness has commanded you and
Prince Heungseon to come to the palace.
Why is she summoning us?
Your feet must be cold...
Father.
You woke up.
I've woken you up.
No, Father.
Are you going to bed, Father?
Yes.
Jae-hwang, I have a question for you.
Yes, please ask.
In a far away land,
there once was a young King,
similar of age to you.
But his father was not a king,
but an ordinary man.
The king's father
was not a king himself?
Right.
So must the king treat his own father
as someone below him,
or even as a king,
treat his father as a good son?
But he is still his father...
How can someone treat
their own father below them?
Even a king must be respectful to
his father.
Right, my son.
My son Jae-hwang,
you are a good son.
Her Royal Highness has summoned you
to the palace.
Tomorrow Jae-hwang.
Tomorrow is the day.
Tomorrow... Jae-hwang.
Hearing that you regained your health,
brings joy to us, Your Royal Highness.
I received unexpected good news,
which helped me back up.
Pardon me?
What's going on?
Why has she summoned
Lord Chun-joong and me?
Now that we are gathered,
I have someone to show you.
He will be a great asset to the throne
in the future.
Who are you presenting to us?
Come in.
Raise your head.
Prince Heungseon, look at this child.
Doesn't he look promising?
He reminds me of Ha-jeon.
Dojeonggung?
What do you mean...
He looks just like Ha-jeon
when he was young.
He has a similar
destiny to Ha-jeon and,
he is also a King's relative!
He is Prince Yeongun, Lee Min,
the son of the deceased Prince Hoepyeong.
Hoepyeong is said to have died young
without children...
Who has brought this child claiming
he is the son of Hoepyeong?
Lord Lee Hang-ro
brought this child to us.
A famous fortune teller
like Master Choi also, claimed
he is king worthy.
Show your respects to
Prince Heungseon.
This guy is... Song Jin!
This man is Song Jin,
he has found Hoepyeong's descendant,
and read this child's destiny.
It is an honor to meet you,
Prince Heungseon.
How could you trust this man,
Your Royal Highness!
He is here
with Lord Hang-ro's blessings!
Lord Hang-ro is no ordinary Lord,
what more do you need?
This child amazes me,
it's as if my Ha-jeon has come back
from the dead.
I will make this child the next king
in place of Ha-jeon!
♫ I still remember what you said to me ♫
♫ Even after the seasons
change and flow ♫
(King Maker: The Change of Destiny)
What do you see in Prince Yeongun?
He does not have
the presence of a King either.
If I support him
I can create any presence I desire.
Suddenly he has a son?
You must investigate
Prince Yeongun thoroughly.
I will investigate Song Jin.
How is he doing?
Why can't you answer me!
If I'd known you were
such a handsome man,
I would have came here earlier.
Since brother Byung-woon
is in critical condition...
In order to take over managing
the family assets,
I need everyone's consent.
What a beautiful sight!
As you predicted,
as the birth mark was
shown on his wrist,
she completely believed it.
It's a curse!
Why did you make such
a terrible prophecy?
I merely spoke the
truth for this country.
The patients there
make me lose my appetite.
Hey, you two.
My apologies, my Lord.
We spoke out of line.
Out of line?!
The disease is not killing the people,
it is everyone sitting at this table!
We must protect this place.
