Lovers of the Red Sky (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
(This drama is fictional and people or stories are not tied to reality.)
If you don't mind,
I'd like to know your name.
My name?
It's Hong Cheon Gi.
What is your father like?
My dad?
He's a painter who paints every day in the marketplace.
Is it truly her?
I see.
I will repay this debt one day.
I will remember your name.
Oh, that's okay.
You saved my life first.
Why are you outside?
You should be lying down.
There was no one else, so I came out to find my way back.
I bothered you when we just met...
Not at all.
You and I are now acquaintances.
I fear you might catch a cold.
Wait inside until the physician arrives.
I will help you.
Okay.
You're really okay, right?
Isn't he Scholar Ha from Seomungwan who went missing?
What?
That man?
He is Ha Sung Jin's son,
the special child.
The Demon entered the child's body at the rainmaking ritual.
No.
Observe before you take action.
(Prince Joohyang Lee Hoo, King Seongjo's second son)
Thank you.
Wait here and rest a bit.
(Episode 4: The Red Thread of Fate)
(Prince Yangmyeong Lee Yul, King Seongjo's third son)
Is anyone home?
Who are you?
I'm looking for someone.
Did you see...
a man in Seomungwan attire last night?
Seomungwan attire?
Was that Seomungwan attire?
Let's play dumb for now.
No, I didn't.
I must check.
No. You can't barge into someone's home and look around.
A sick person's staying here.
You can't enter without permission.
How dare you stop me?
That's rude!
Do you know who I am?
How dare you? I would I know who you are?
This won't do.
Blessed with good looks,
I'm good at painting, calligraphy, and poetry,
and am called three times a genius.
I am a prince.
Prince Yangmyeong.
I really wanted to stay polite.
If you're Prince Yangmyeong,
I am...
Prince Yangmyeong's wife!
(A prince's wife is a senior 1st rank title)
You truly are brazen.
I may be wearing smelly clothes...
"Brazen"?
"Brazen"?
Fine.
Let's say that you're a prince.
Does that mean common people like me...
have no right to guard our houses against a prince?
What kind of law is that?
Is your name some kind of pass?
I'd understand if I'd heard that once before in my life,
but that is a perplexing question.
I was born a prince and lived like a prince,
so I only know how to speak like a prince.
If one heard, they'd think you really are a prince.
But it won't work on me.
You cannot go inside. Now leave.
I'm a prince.
- Let me check... - Go away.
- Go, now. - Just let me...
Miss.
What's the matter? Is someone here?
Scholar Ha!
Sir!
You're alive.
Prince Yangmyeong.
Yes, it's me. Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
No. I'm not badly hurt.
That's such a relief.
Do you know how worried I was?
I apologize, Your Highness.
Prince Yangmyeong!
Prince Yangmyeong!
Scholar Ha!
Prince Yangmyeong!
Yes, Man Soo.
Are you okay? Are you really okay?
I'm fine.
Did you walk here through the night?
On my way to Mount Inwang's observatory last night,
I fell unconscious in the litter.
I don't remember anything after that.
I was here when I woke up.
That sounds more like a ghost story.
I'm glad you're safe.
Get up.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Come along.
- Okay! - Yes, sir.
Wait!
Go Pil. Where's the brazen girl who was here?
A girl? I didn't see one.
She's about this tall...
and is wearing a red dress.
I wouldn't know.
Your Highness. A young lady nursed me all night.
Are you looking for her?
Was she trying to protect you?
Where did she go?
I don't know.
She must be hiding like a stray cat.
I can't find her anywhere.
We're leaving with Scholar Ha. Let's go.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
Wait, Your Highness.
Are you done?
Yes.
Okay. Let's go, then.
Let's go.
Come along.
Scholar Ha and Yangmyeong.
Are they just friends?
Or...
I find Scholar Ha suspicious, My Lord.
How did he not show any signs for all those years?
We can find out if we look into it.
My gosh. I can barely breathe.
Cheon Gi. Where is he?
There's no warmth of life here.
It's a mark of the Demon.
It was a freak, a monster.
Other than it being a monster,
it can't be explained.
I fell unconscious in the litter.
I don't remember anything after that.
I find Scholar Ha suspicious, my lord.
A wound like this doesn't just heal.
You must reconnect with the spirit...
that created it in the first place.
It's the Demon.
The spirit that entered me and left an unhealing wound...
was the Demon.
I must find him.
I must.
What?
It wasn't a human that killed the soldiers?
No. I'd never seen such corpses.
What looked like sword marks...
had turned black as if they were burned.
And the bodies were all listless.
Is that so?
Yul.
How about the Maejukheon Painting Contest you're organizing?
Preparations are going as scheduled.
I have an important favor to ask of you...
regarding that contest.
I will do anything, Father.
Your Majesty, Seomungwan's Scholar Ha is here.
Do you know what you're guilty of?
Yes, Your Majesty.
You did not look after yourself or your safety.
That is your crime.
I am sorry, Your Majesty.
If you can provide an explanation of the mishaps...
that occurred in your absence, I'll forgive you.
- Please ask. - Last night,
owls cried outside Eunjeongjeon.
People say that...
hooting owls are vindictive spirits who died in our land.
Your Majesty. Owls signify wealth.
It's because of their habit to store food after a hunt.
I believe this means you will gather wealth and authority.
Also, owls have the wisdom to light the dark.
If this auspicious animal sat on Eunjeongjeon's roof...
Are you saying...
it's a good omen?
But around that time, good men lost their lives.
Is all that truly a coincidence?
Your Majesty.
If I dare ask,
is what made you feel uncomfortable...
truly the owls?
I just cannot deceive you.
Sit comfortably.
Next month, Yeon will send a group of envoys.
Among them will be Yu Shi Yong,
the Emperor's younger brother.
The Crown Prince lacks experience and cannot deal with them.
I plan to finalize the negotiations and then...
abdicate in his favor.
(Abdicate: Give the crown to someone)
Select an auspicious date for the abdication ceremony.
You mean that...
Yes.
I think it's time that I step down.
My illness has been getting worse,
and I can't help but worry about the throne.
Your Majesty.
I heard that an unknown illness has been plaguing the Crown Prince.
Yes. I heard as much from the royal physician.
He will gradually get better.
Your Majesty. I must give you some advice even if it means death.
Prince Joohyang has the aptitude and attitude to be king,
and Prince Yangmyeong is popular...
with the officials, and we cannot rule out...
their chances of taking over.
Considering these circumstances,
if you abdicate in a hurry and the sick Crown Prince takes over...
You must know that...
neither my father nor myself...
were the eldest.
So whenever there was a drought or a famine,
the people blamed me,
saying that the heavens didn't accept me as king.
Why would you say that, Your Majesty?
The people turn hostile when someone other than the eldest takes power.
You don't know the feeling.
That's why I want the Crown Prince...
to become king and be accepted.
Whatever...
his future may be.
Did he get back safely?
Did she get back safely?
A single stroke.
(One stroke shows a painter's mentality.)
It means a single stroke is all it takes.
It also means you cannot undo what you have drawn.
When you can put your energy, will,
and virtue into one stroke,
that is when your painting will show life.
Yes. It's out of the question.
There's no way I'd meet someone like him.
(Ms. Gyeonju, Baekyu Painters Society's cook)
What are you talking about?
Are you still thinking about...
the young man from the dye house?
Yes.
I did a good deed. Now let's forget about it.
Forget.
Cheon Gi, what are you doing here?
- See this. - What?
Come along. Take a look.
What is it?
It's finally happening. It's coming up.
Maejukheon Painting Contest. We've all been waiting for it.
The three times genius Prince Yangmyeong...
organized a contest...
for painters like us, you see.
How many years has it been?
If you're Prince Yangmyeong,
I am Prince Yangmyeong's wife!
- A chance of a lifetime. - My gosh.
- Can you not do that? - Darn you.
Cheon Gi!
Master Choi's looking for you.
(Choi Won Ho, Master of Baekyu Painters Society)
Do you know why I called you?
You don't want me to enter the contest.
No. You can enter the contest.
- Can I really? - Yes.
After you finish all the Sehwa we got orders for,
and the painting and folding screen for Lord Choi...
Isn't that the same as a ban?
I'm just saying you must finish your work first.
I never said you can't enter.
Okay, then.
If I finish everything in time,
you will put me on the list of participants.
Don't change your mind then.
Why you little...
What if she pulls it off?
Why did you make such a promise?
The whole team can work together...
and barely finish the work in a week.
There is no way she can finish it in time.
The fifth star is shining bright.
Two degrees and five minutes.
Gather round.
This is the list of people who will enter...
the Maejukheon Painting Contest.
- Yes. - I'm in.
- I'm in. - Good for you.
There's my name.
There's mine too.
Master! Did you really leave me out?
Bring the paintings you said you'd finish by today.
What...
What are you doing?
Putting my name on the list.
You can't. If Master Choi finds out, he'll be furious.
Give that to me.
Since when did you become so obedient?
You visit the other village to see Ms. Gangho.
I wonder if he knows that.
- How do you... - Ms. Gangho!
- It's a secret. - Ms. Gangho!
Be quiet. Promise.
Okay.
Here you go.
- Cheon Gi, you hand in this list. - What?
I'm too scared to.
I don't know about this. I don't know a thing.
Okay. I'll take care of it.
Wait.
I have to take this to Maejukheon.
If I go there...
Prince Yangmyeong?
What should I do?
He won't recognize me like this, will he?
Gosh, it's suffocating.
Cheon Gi, you must not ruin these clothes.
Return them tomorrow.
Yes. I'll be careful...
and come right back.
Sir. How was your day?
Was it a good one?
Maejuk...
Is this the place?
It's amazing.
Have you recovered?
I'd like to know.
There are fish too.
If we meet again,
like that time, by pure coincidence,
then...
I would really like to draw your face.
Over there.
Who are you?
I asked who you are.
He won't know even if I tell him.
I brought...
the list of painters from Baekyu Painters Society.
It's the girl from the dye house.
Prince Yangmyeong seems to have gone somewhere.
Then I'll leave the list and go on my way.
Goodbye.
Wait.
I wonder.
What are you doing?
Your voice sounds familiar.
Are you not Ms. Hong Cheon Gi from the dye house?
What?
Did I do something so terrible you don't want to admit to it?
No. You didn't.
It's not that.
The truth is, I was very rude to Prince Yangmyeong.
Did you confess your love?
He looked for you as we left the dye house.
I wondered what it was about.
Well...
At the dye house,
I said to him that...
If you're Prince Yangmyeong,
I am...
Prince Yangmyeong's wife!
I shouted that at his face.
Don't laugh like that.
I knew you wouldn't understand...
how serious an issue that is.
By the way,
why are we here?
You wouldn't understand even if I explained.
What if Prince Yangmyeong were to see you?
Why did you come here?
There's a reason I had to bring...
the list of contest participants myself.
Leave it with me. I'll pass it on.
Will you really?
Yes.
I'll also explain the misunderstanding that I caused.
I'm sorry... I'm so grateful.
Then I'll leave you the list and get going.
Hang on.
Scholar Ha, you're here.
Hello, Your Highness.
Hello.
So...
Who are you?
That woman is...
the stray cat from the dye house.
Your Highness.
Wait.
Wait.
I was looking for you.
I don't know what you mean.
You must've mistaken me for someone else.
Did I? Turn around and we'll find out.
What have you done?
I apologize.
Baekyu Painters Society.
I know Master Choi well.
Do you work there?
No. Well...
I will take this list.
You can't.
I will submit it according to proper procedures.
- Give it to me. - No.
No. It's fine.
Come on.
I said I will send it to you.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Goodness. Do you ever think before you act?
Please come inside for a moment, Your Highness,
my lady.
So why did you run away?
Once I found out...
the man I ran into at Mount Inwang was the real Prince Yangmyeong,
I couldn't bring myself to face you.
On top of that, if you saw the list of names I brought,
I'm sure it would've hurt me.
I'm a prince of this nation.
I would not hurt you over some petty list of painters...
to hurt you in any way.
"Some petty list of painters"?
You said you only know how to speak as a prince...
because you lived your whole life only as a prince.
And what you said is truly right.
To a man of high descent such as yourself,
it may be just a petty list of painters.
However, at the very least, it could decide...
the fate of my colleagues, the honor of Baekyu Society,
and bring hope to my life.
So why did you run amok as you like at the dye house?
This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't laughed at me.
That's because...
That's...
How would I have known that you're the real Prince Yangmyeong?
Goodness.
Are you talking back at me?
Now, everything is clear.
Lady Hong made a mistake while trying to keep me safe...
because she didn't recognize you.
Please show your mercy and forgive her...
for her failure to recognize you, Your Highness.
Well, I forgave her ages ago.
You may not have known, but Prince Yangmyeong is...
still a prince of this nation.
You should also make a formal apology for your behavior.
Prince Yangmyeong,
I deserve to be killed.
Goodness, I can't hear you.
I must've gone blind on that day.
I failed to recognize you and committed this grave crime.
Louder.
I deserve to be killed.
Of course, you deserve to die for trifling with the royal family.
However, that's enough.
I also didn't know that you were a painter.
And I'll also take back calling the list petty.
On top of that, if I kill you,
I'll become a widower.
- Pardon? - You called yourself my wife.
Oh, that's...
I only forgave you for punching me because you called yourself my wife.
I apologize, Your Highness.
My blindness has made me so clumsy.
It's all right. This was only a mistake as well.
You may get back up.
If you're done talking, you should go back, Miss.
Yes.
Then please excuse me.
Oh, sure. You may go now.
How are you feeling?
I"m much better thanks to your concern.
I stopped by to see you to share my gratitude.
I had something for you, so I was about to send for you.
Here it is.
What is this?
It's the invitation for Maejukheon Painting Contest.
We'll choose the best painter through holding an auction.
Shouldn't you be there as the richest man of Guanyang...
as the most honored guest of the contest?
I've always wanted to go to the Maejukheon Painting Contest.
So we had the same idea.
- Maejukheon Painting Contest. - Maejukheon Contest?
This painting contest isn't like any other years!
The eldest son of Lord Kang, the father of last year's winner.
The touch of a deity, Kang Hee Young!
The way he paints is so uncanny,
he's called the magical painter. This is Choi Jung!
A master painter from Jeolla, Monk Manyoo!
The magical touch of Gyeongsang Province,
Jin with a bamboo hat!
Everyone, pick out your first place with your heart.
Put your life's fortune into this opportunity!
This is Guess the Maejukheon Winner!
Did you prepare all the materials?
- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.
Go Pil. Check and see if every piece of paper is marked.
You must check again and again.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
- Duk Soe. - Yes.
It's the location of this incense clock.
You must be busy preparing for the painting contest.
Expert Han, you're here.
I'm finally about finished.
The contest hasn't been held for a while,
So the painters and societies are all buzzing with excitement.
I wonder which one of them will surprise me this year.
I have great expectations.
And yes, did you find out anything...
about that cheeky copycat painter?
Yes, I did look into it.
But since Wolseongdang is closed,
it'll be difficult to find more information immediately.
If you could give me a little more time...
Is that so?
But I guess that painter might show up at this contest.
They would definitely do so.
I really want to see who this painter is.
Well, Your Highness.
What did you say? A mystical painter?
You're planning to restore the former King's portrait,
and we're in need of a mystical painter?
Yes.
The King's portrait was...
only drawn by painters who had mystical powers...
and their descendants for many generations.
And I'm to find the mystical painter through the contest?
Yes, Your Highness.
In that case,
is there a way to recognize such a painter?
Father!
Father.
Father!
- Help! Please help him. - Over here.
Father.
It's too late.
Sorry?
Wait, what do you mean?
Once he loses himself and has a fit,
he'll be in that crazed state for a while,
then he'll stop breathing soon after.
What?
Wait, what do you mean, he'll stop breathing?
Please save him, my lord.
My father lived alone...
in this unwell state for his entire life.
Please help him just this once. I ask of you.
There is one thing you can do.
But I'm not sure if it can help him.
What is it?
Chungsimwon.
It's the best medicine...
for mental illnesses.
But only the royal family can get their hands on it.
We can't find it out in the market.
That precious medicine is only used in the palace.
How am I going to find it?
Oh. Hey.
What's wrong? Did you cry?
Is it your father? Is he all right?
Of course, he's unwell.
He sits out on that street every single day.
It's a miracle he didn't fall sick sooner.
Hey, Cheon Gi.
Wait, Cheon Gi.
Hey.
Are you all right?
Do something.
Maejukheon Painting Contest.
Prince Yangmyeong's Maejukheon Painting Contest is...
a place where people with power, merchants, wealthy people,
and nobleman all gather.
The prize money is exorbitant.
If you take the first place,
it should be enough to get his medicine.
I also heard he granted a wish for the winner of the last contest.
But I hear every good painter from around the country...
will show up there.
It's not going to be easy for her to pass the first screening.
- Are you serious? - Of course.
Cheon Gi, you have no idea how vastly big this world is.
- There are hidden experts... - Not that.
Will Prince Yangmyeong grant a wish if I become the first place?
Yes, that goes without saying.
Cheon Gi.
Where have you been all along?
Lord Kim who's across in the other town wants...
a painting of a Taoist fairy and a mountain deity.
Scholar Seo of Sajik-dong...
Are you determined to keep me away from the painting contest again?
You're saying, "Men and women shouldn't be in the same place,"
"and we have moral principles, so just do your job."
I never said anything like that.
I said I'll let you go if you finish doing your job.
Master Choi, are you afraid I'll destroy the society's honor...
if I enter the painting contest?
Listen to this girl.
How dare you speak to me like this?
Forget the painting contest. You're on probation for while.
No.
Do you refuse to listen to me?
Why?
Are you afraid I'll go insane while painting just like my father?
Cheon...
Cheon Gi. It's not like that.
I don't care what you say.
You don't even know anything.
That little...
Gosh, my head.
Father, what should I do now?
Maejukheon Painting Contest. The prize money is exorbitant.
The contest is hosted by Prince Yangmyeong.
He's the best artist in this nation...
and the most beloved son of His Majesty.
He's right. Once you win this contest,
I'm sure he'll do anything for you which he can do as the royal family.
All right.
Let's do this.
Please hang in there, Father.
(Simcheonggak)
I was deeply shocked to hear that you had gone missing.
Are you feeling all right?
Your duty isn't to worry about me.
Did you do as you're told?
This is the book of that senior officer's fortune you wanted.
Good work.
Prince Joohyang is here.
I'll be there.
Please excuse me.
Be cautious with every action that you take.
He's very doubtful.
Yes.
You're here.
It has finally begun.
Yes, my lord.
But do you have to do this at Maejukheon?
I'm afraid you will expose your identity to them.
I understand why you're worried.
However,
the King has finally shown his true intentions.
This is the perfect opportunity...
to get my revenge.
Yes.
I also found more information on the woman from the dye house.
- And? - Her name is surely Hong Cheon Gi.
She lost her mother as a young girl,
and she looks after her father by making money with her paintings.
She's just an ordinary painter.
Her father was also once a painter of Gohwawon.
But he has gone insane and is barely alive out on the streets.
It's her. She's that girl.
What's wrong?
What about the eyes?
What do you mean?
How did she suddenly come to see?
Was she blind before?
Just as I'm about to get my prolonged revenge...
Why now?
My lord.
It's nothing. Let's go.
Around when the delegation of envoys from Yeon arrive here,
the King is about to abdicate the throne to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince?
But I heard his condition has not become any better...
even after he took all the medicine they could find.
His Majesty told Seomungwan to find a lucky day, so I'm sure.
We expected this to happen, and it's just happening sooner.
Your Highness.
Is this something you expected?
I apologize, Your Highness.
I hear Kang has a difficult time...
falling asleep every night because of his illness.
It might be a good idea to put him...
into a deeper sleep.
But it's still too early.
So it's not the time?
No. Even if we succeed in carrying out this deed,
we'll need the support of the officials.
We still need more people to trust and follow you in the Court.
You must get Prince Yangmyeong on our side.
- You mean, Yul? - Yes, Your Highness.
Why don't you attend the upcoming Maejukheon Painting Contest?
It'll be a great chance for you to sound out Prince Yangmyeong.
I'm one of the judges at the contest this year,
so I'll attend to you if you decide to join us.
Your Highness, this is Mae Hyang.
Mae Hyang?
Come in.
I'm Yeon Ji.
I'm Mae Wol.
There was something you promised last time.
That you'll ask for me...
if you come by Simcheonggak one more time.
My heart has been tied there ever since that day.
No man would open up his heart to a cliche...
any gisaeng could say.
The thing with men is this.
They're great and all, but they're all dull in the same way.
They always pretend like they're an indifferent, pious scholar,
then turn into little boys in my arms.
Tonight, it's impossible for me to hide...
my feelings for you, Your Highness.
I asked you to come in today...
to show kindness for your interest in me.
It doesn't mean anything more or less.
Do you understand?
Yes, Your Highness.
If you try to sound me out again,
I will not let it go.
I'll remember that.
Now, let's grab a drink.
- Yes. - Let's do that.
- Have a drink. - Then should I trust your words...
and bet a huge amount of money on Maejukheon Painting Contest?
My apologies, Your Highness.
Darn it. Why is it so hard to find the darned restroom?
Open up Wolseongdang again starting tomorrow.
Yes. What should I do with Vice-chief Jung Seon Rye?
We should make sure he never sets a foot in Guanyang again.
Yes, My Lord.
Ilwolseong?
Was he just talking about our boss?
Goodness, are you deaf?
We're going to Wolseongdang.
What? Right now?
Take everything that's worth money.
Yes, Boss.
My life is completely ruined because of some random girl.
Hong Cheon Gi. Don't let me catch you.
Once I do, I'll destroy you.
She's also a painter of sort, so I'm sure she's busy...
getting prepared for the Maejukheon Painting Contest.
Of course.
A huge amount of prize money is at stake.
Wait.
The prize money.
What did you do with the list of participants for the contest?
Did you add your name...
on the list of participants?
Yes.
Do you just flat out refuse to ever listen to me?
At first, I lost my temper and just threw it in.
But I now have a reason to be a part of the contest.
Please give me just one chance.
I won't hear this anymore. Chun Bok!
Yes, Master Choi.
Put her in the Room of Truth.
- Yes. - Master Choi. Master...
Wait, Uncle Chun Bok.
- Let's go. - It's not like that.
- Let's go. - Don't do this, Master Choi!
- Uncle Chun Bok. - Get in there.
Master Choi!
- Look back on your actions. - Please open this.
- Then you can finish painting too. - Please let me go.
Master Choi!
Master Choi. No, Father.
No, Master Choi doesn't have a better idea.
The only chance I have is winning the painting contest.
(The morning of Maejukheon Painting Contest)
A painting always begins with a line,
and it ends with another line.
Do not forget that. You must pour in...
all of your talents into one streak of line.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Master Choi! - Yes, Master Choi!
(Maejukheon)
(Maejukheon Painting Contest)
Goodness.
Painters, please line up!
What are you doing?
You're here, Lord Park.
Come on inside.
- Hello, Master Choi. - Hello.
- Don't be too nervous. - Of course.
Could you all take out the contest ID slip beforehand?
Okay.
Prince Joohyang, you're here.
Good work. Where's Yangmyeong?
He's welcoming the guests inside.
This place looks like a street out there.
Master Choi!
You said your duty is...
to teach painters how to paint and not to get in the way...
of their future.
But you only locked me up like this.
Gosh.
Oh, whatever.
My goodness.
I'm here for my painting.
Gosh, you surprised me.
Yes, of course. Okay.
But the painting isn't...
Is it not ready yet?
Where is the painter I asked for?
No, it's locked.
Goodness.
He's a customer.
What?
I'm here for my painting.
Pardon? Which one?
Munbae and sehwa.
(Munbae: Drives out evil spirits. Sehwa: To celebrate the New Year's.)
Munbae and sehwa?
I do have this sehwa I drew.
What do you think about this, my lord?
I like it.
Sounds great. I'm glad that you like it.
One second.
Cheon Gi.
Father, I'll take the first place and come back.
(Maejukheon Painting Contest)
- You may go inside. - Thanks.
I'm Hong Cheon Gi of Baekyu Painters Society.
Hong Cheon Gi of Baekyu Painters Society.
Look who this is.
It's Painter Hong.
Darn it.
We need to square everything first.
How can you assault a lady in the middle of the day?
Where are your senses?
- What's he doing? - That's impossible.
- Let her go. - What's wrong with him?
Be quiet, all of you!
What do you know anyway?
Hey, you.
Are you really a painter?
Show me your contest ID slip.
Yes, sure.
I think I left it.
But I'm with Baekyu Painters Society.
I really am a painter. Please let me in.
Goodness, how can a woman be a painter?
You'll even make dogs laugh.
You can't go inside unless you have a contest ID slip.
Next person. Finish up quickly.
- Wait, but... - Hurry.
Let's go quietly while we're nice. Don't put up a fight.
No, wait. Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
Let her go immediately.
The litter?
Scholar.
I see that you two are together.
Watch your mouth! He's...
Man soo.
- Yes. - She's coming with me.
Says who? Come here.
If you don't mind,
I'd like to know your name.
My name?
It's Hong Cheon Gi.
What is your father like?
My dad?
He's a painter who paints every day in the marketplace.
Is it truly her?
I see.
I will repay this debt one day.
I will remember your name.
Oh, that's okay.
You saved my life first.
Why are you outside?
You should be lying down.
There was no one else, so I came out to find my way back.
I bothered you when we just met...
Not at all.
You and I are now acquaintances.
I fear you might catch a cold.
Wait inside until the physician arrives.
I will help you.
Okay.
You're really okay, right?
Isn't he Scholar Ha from Seomungwan who went missing?
What?
That man?
He is Ha Sung Jin's son,
the special child.
The Demon entered the child's body at the rainmaking ritual.
No.
Observe before you take action.
(Prince Joohyang Lee Hoo, King Seongjo's second son)
Thank you.
Wait here and rest a bit.
(Episode 4: The Red Thread of Fate)
(Prince Yangmyeong Lee Yul, King Seongjo's third son)
Is anyone home?
Who are you?
I'm looking for someone.
Did you see...
a man in Seomungwan attire last night?
Seomungwan attire?
Was that Seomungwan attire?
Let's play dumb for now.
No, I didn't.
I must check.
No. You can't barge into someone's home and look around.
A sick person's staying here.
You can't enter without permission.
How dare you stop me?
That's rude!
Do you know who I am?
How dare you? I would I know who you are?
This won't do.
Blessed with good looks,
I'm good at painting, calligraphy, and poetry,
and am called three times a genius.
I am a prince.
Prince Yangmyeong.
I really wanted to stay polite.
If you're Prince Yangmyeong,
I am...
Prince Yangmyeong's wife!
(A prince's wife is a senior 1st rank title)
You truly are brazen.
I may be wearing smelly clothes...
"Brazen"?
"Brazen"?
Fine.
Let's say that you're a prince.
Does that mean common people like me...
have no right to guard our houses against a prince?
What kind of law is that?
Is your name some kind of pass?
I'd understand if I'd heard that once before in my life,
but that is a perplexing question.
I was born a prince and lived like a prince,
so I only know how to speak like a prince.
If one heard, they'd think you really are a prince.
But it won't work on me.
You cannot go inside. Now leave.
I'm a prince.
- Let me check... - Go away.
- Go, now. - Just let me...
Miss.
What's the matter? Is someone here?
Scholar Ha!
Sir!
You're alive.
Prince Yangmyeong.
Yes, it's me. Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
No. I'm not badly hurt.
That's such a relief.
Do you know how worried I was?
I apologize, Your Highness.
Prince Yangmyeong!
Prince Yangmyeong!
Scholar Ha!
Prince Yangmyeong!
Yes, Man Soo.
Are you okay? Are you really okay?
I'm fine.
Did you walk here through the night?
On my way to Mount Inwang's observatory last night,
I fell unconscious in the litter.
I don't remember anything after that.
I was here when I woke up.
That sounds more like a ghost story.
I'm glad you're safe.
Get up.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Come along.
- Okay! - Yes, sir.
Wait!
Go Pil. Where's the brazen girl who was here?
A girl? I didn't see one.
She's about this tall...
and is wearing a red dress.
I wouldn't know.
Your Highness. A young lady nursed me all night.
Are you looking for her?
Was she trying to protect you?
Where did she go?
I don't know.
She must be hiding like a stray cat.
I can't find her anywhere.
We're leaving with Scholar Ha. Let's go.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
Wait, Your Highness.
Are you done?
Yes.
Okay. Let's go, then.
Let's go.
Come along.
Scholar Ha and Yangmyeong.
Are they just friends?
Or...
I find Scholar Ha suspicious, My Lord.
How did he not show any signs for all those years?
We can find out if we look into it.
My gosh. I can barely breathe.
Cheon Gi. Where is he?
There's no warmth of life here.
It's a mark of the Demon.
It was a freak, a monster.
Other than it being a monster,
it can't be explained.
I fell unconscious in the litter.
I don't remember anything after that.
I find Scholar Ha suspicious, my lord.
A wound like this doesn't just heal.
You must reconnect with the spirit...
that created it in the first place.
It's the Demon.
The spirit that entered me and left an unhealing wound...
was the Demon.
I must find him.
I must.
What?
It wasn't a human that killed the soldiers?
No. I'd never seen such corpses.
What looked like sword marks...
had turned black as if they were burned.
And the bodies were all listless.
Is that so?
Yul.
How about the Maejukheon Painting Contest you're organizing?
Preparations are going as scheduled.
I have an important favor to ask of you...
regarding that contest.
I will do anything, Father.
Your Majesty, Seomungwan's Scholar Ha is here.
Do you know what you're guilty of?
Yes, Your Majesty.
You did not look after yourself or your safety.
That is your crime.
I am sorry, Your Majesty.
If you can provide an explanation of the mishaps...
that occurred in your absence, I'll forgive you.
- Please ask. - Last night,
owls cried outside Eunjeongjeon.
People say that...
hooting owls are vindictive spirits who died in our land.
Your Majesty. Owls signify wealth.
It's because of their habit to store food after a hunt.
I believe this means you will gather wealth and authority.
Also, owls have the wisdom to light the dark.
If this auspicious animal sat on Eunjeongjeon's roof...
Are you saying...
it's a good omen?
But around that time, good men lost their lives.
Is all that truly a coincidence?
Your Majesty.
If I dare ask,
is what made you feel uncomfortable...
truly the owls?
I just cannot deceive you.
Sit comfortably.
Next month, Yeon will send a group of envoys.
Among them will be Yu Shi Yong,
the Emperor's younger brother.
The Crown Prince lacks experience and cannot deal with them.
I plan to finalize the negotiations and then...
abdicate in his favor.
(Abdicate: Give the crown to someone)
Select an auspicious date for the abdication ceremony.
You mean that...
Yes.
I think it's time that I step down.
My illness has been getting worse,
and I can't help but worry about the throne.
Your Majesty.
I heard that an unknown illness has been plaguing the Crown Prince.
Yes. I heard as much from the royal physician.
He will gradually get better.
Your Majesty. I must give you some advice even if it means death.
Prince Joohyang has the aptitude and attitude to be king,
and Prince Yangmyeong is popular...
with the officials, and we cannot rule out...
their chances of taking over.
Considering these circumstances,
if you abdicate in a hurry and the sick Crown Prince takes over...
You must know that...
neither my father nor myself...
were the eldest.
So whenever there was a drought or a famine,
the people blamed me,
saying that the heavens didn't accept me as king.
Why would you say that, Your Majesty?
The people turn hostile when someone other than the eldest takes power.
You don't know the feeling.
That's why I want the Crown Prince...
to become king and be accepted.
Whatever...
his future may be.
Did he get back safely?
Did she get back safely?
A single stroke.
(One stroke shows a painter's mentality.)
It means a single stroke is all it takes.
It also means you cannot undo what you have drawn.
When you can put your energy, will,
and virtue into one stroke,
that is when your painting will show life.
Yes. It's out of the question.
There's no way I'd meet someone like him.
(Ms. Gyeonju, Baekyu Painters Society's cook)
What are you talking about?
Are you still thinking about...
the young man from the dye house?
Yes.
I did a good deed. Now let's forget about it.
Forget.
Cheon Gi, what are you doing here?
- See this. - What?
Come along. Take a look.
What is it?
It's finally happening. It's coming up.
Maejukheon Painting Contest. We've all been waiting for it.
The three times genius Prince Yangmyeong...
organized a contest...
for painters like us, you see.
How many years has it been?
If you're Prince Yangmyeong,
I am Prince Yangmyeong's wife!
- A chance of a lifetime. - My gosh.
- Can you not do that? - Darn you.
Cheon Gi!
Master Choi's looking for you.
(Choi Won Ho, Master of Baekyu Painters Society)
Do you know why I called you?
You don't want me to enter the contest.
No. You can enter the contest.
- Can I really? - Yes.
After you finish all the Sehwa we got orders for,
and the painting and folding screen for Lord Choi...
Isn't that the same as a ban?
I'm just saying you must finish your work first.
I never said you can't enter.
Okay, then.
If I finish everything in time,
you will put me on the list of participants.
Don't change your mind then.
Why you little...
What if she pulls it off?
Why did you make such a promise?
The whole team can work together...
and barely finish the work in a week.
There is no way she can finish it in time.
The fifth star is shining bright.
Two degrees and five minutes.
Gather round.
This is the list of people who will enter...
the Maejukheon Painting Contest.
- Yes. - I'm in.
- I'm in. - Good for you.
There's my name.
There's mine too.
Master! Did you really leave me out?
Bring the paintings you said you'd finish by today.
What...
What are you doing?
Putting my name on the list.
You can't. If Master Choi finds out, he'll be furious.
Give that to me.
Since when did you become so obedient?
You visit the other village to see Ms. Gangho.
I wonder if he knows that.
- How do you... - Ms. Gangho!
- It's a secret. - Ms. Gangho!
Be quiet. Promise.
Okay.
Here you go.
- Cheon Gi, you hand in this list. - What?
I'm too scared to.
I don't know about this. I don't know a thing.
Okay. I'll take care of it.
Wait.
I have to take this to Maejukheon.
If I go there...
Prince Yangmyeong?
What should I do?
He won't recognize me like this, will he?
Gosh, it's suffocating.
Cheon Gi, you must not ruin these clothes.
Return them tomorrow.
Yes. I'll be careful...
and come right back.
Sir. How was your day?
Was it a good one?
Maejuk...
Is this the place?
It's amazing.
Have you recovered?
I'd like to know.
There are fish too.
If we meet again,
like that time, by pure coincidence,
then...
I would really like to draw your face.
Over there.
Who are you?
I asked who you are.
He won't know even if I tell him.
I brought...
the list of painters from Baekyu Painters Society.
It's the girl from the dye house.
Prince Yangmyeong seems to have gone somewhere.
Then I'll leave the list and go on my way.
Goodbye.
Wait.
I wonder.
What are you doing?
Your voice sounds familiar.
Are you not Ms. Hong Cheon Gi from the dye house?
What?
Did I do something so terrible you don't want to admit to it?
No. You didn't.
It's not that.
The truth is, I was very rude to Prince Yangmyeong.
Did you confess your love?
He looked for you as we left the dye house.
I wondered what it was about.
Well...
At the dye house,
I said to him that...
If you're Prince Yangmyeong,
I am...
Prince Yangmyeong's wife!
I shouted that at his face.
Don't laugh like that.
I knew you wouldn't understand...
how serious an issue that is.
By the way,
why are we here?
You wouldn't understand even if I explained.
What if Prince Yangmyeong were to see you?
Why did you come here?
There's a reason I had to bring...
the list of contest participants myself.
Leave it with me. I'll pass it on.
Will you really?
Yes.
I'll also explain the misunderstanding that I caused.
I'm sorry... I'm so grateful.
Then I'll leave you the list and get going.
Hang on.
Scholar Ha, you're here.
Hello, Your Highness.
Hello.
So...
Who are you?
That woman is...
the stray cat from the dye house.
Your Highness.
Wait.
Wait.
I was looking for you.
I don't know what you mean.
You must've mistaken me for someone else.
Did I? Turn around and we'll find out.
What have you done?
I apologize.
Baekyu Painters Society.
I know Master Choi well.
Do you work there?
No. Well...
I will take this list.
You can't.
I will submit it according to proper procedures.
- Give it to me. - No.
No. It's fine.
Come on.
I said I will send it to you.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Goodness. Do you ever think before you act?
Please come inside for a moment, Your Highness,
my lady.
So why did you run away?
Once I found out...
the man I ran into at Mount Inwang was the real Prince Yangmyeong,
I couldn't bring myself to face you.
On top of that, if you saw the list of names I brought,
I'm sure it would've hurt me.
I'm a prince of this nation.
I would not hurt you over some petty list of painters...
to hurt you in any way.
"Some petty list of painters"?
You said you only know how to speak as a prince...
because you lived your whole life only as a prince.
And what you said is truly right.
To a man of high descent such as yourself,
it may be just a petty list of painters.
However, at the very least, it could decide...
the fate of my colleagues, the honor of Baekyu Society,
and bring hope to my life.
So why did you run amok as you like at the dye house?
This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't laughed at me.
That's because...
That's...
How would I have known that you're the real Prince Yangmyeong?
Goodness.
Are you talking back at me?
Now, everything is clear.
Lady Hong made a mistake while trying to keep me safe...
because she didn't recognize you.
Please show your mercy and forgive her...
for her failure to recognize you, Your Highness.
Well, I forgave her ages ago.
You may not have known, but Prince Yangmyeong is...
still a prince of this nation.
You should also make a formal apology for your behavior.
Prince Yangmyeong,
I deserve to be killed.
Goodness, I can't hear you.
I must've gone blind on that day.
I failed to recognize you and committed this grave crime.
Louder.
I deserve to be killed.
Of course, you deserve to die for trifling with the royal family.
However, that's enough.
I also didn't know that you were a painter.
And I'll also take back calling the list petty.
On top of that, if I kill you,
I'll become a widower.
- Pardon? - You called yourself my wife.
Oh, that's...
I only forgave you for punching me because you called yourself my wife.
I apologize, Your Highness.
My blindness has made me so clumsy.
It's all right. This was only a mistake as well.
You may get back up.
If you're done talking, you should go back, Miss.
Yes.
Then please excuse me.
Oh, sure. You may go now.
How are you feeling?
I"m much better thanks to your concern.
I stopped by to see you to share my gratitude.
I had something for you, so I was about to send for you.
Here it is.
What is this?
It's the invitation for Maejukheon Painting Contest.
We'll choose the best painter through holding an auction.
Shouldn't you be there as the richest man of Guanyang...
as the most honored guest of the contest?
I've always wanted to go to the Maejukheon Painting Contest.
So we had the same idea.
- Maejukheon Painting Contest. - Maejukheon Contest?
This painting contest isn't like any other years!
The eldest son of Lord Kang, the father of last year's winner.
The touch of a deity, Kang Hee Young!
The way he paints is so uncanny,
he's called the magical painter. This is Choi Jung!
A master painter from Jeolla, Monk Manyoo!
The magical touch of Gyeongsang Province,
Jin with a bamboo hat!
Everyone, pick out your first place with your heart.
Put your life's fortune into this opportunity!
This is Guess the Maejukheon Winner!
Did you prepare all the materials?
- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.
Go Pil. Check and see if every piece of paper is marked.
You must check again and again.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
- Duk Soe. - Yes.
It's the location of this incense clock.
You must be busy preparing for the painting contest.
Expert Han, you're here.
I'm finally about finished.
The contest hasn't been held for a while,
So the painters and societies are all buzzing with excitement.
I wonder which one of them will surprise me this year.
I have great expectations.
And yes, did you find out anything...
about that cheeky copycat painter?
Yes, I did look into it.
But since Wolseongdang is closed,
it'll be difficult to find more information immediately.
If you could give me a little more time...
Is that so?
But I guess that painter might show up at this contest.
They would definitely do so.
I really want to see who this painter is.
Well, Your Highness.
What did you say? A mystical painter?
You're planning to restore the former King's portrait,
and we're in need of a mystical painter?
Yes.
The King's portrait was...
only drawn by painters who had mystical powers...
and their descendants for many generations.
And I'm to find the mystical painter through the contest?
Yes, Your Highness.
In that case,
is there a way to recognize such a painter?
Father!
Father.
Father!
- Help! Please help him. - Over here.
Father.
It's too late.
Sorry?
Wait, what do you mean?
Once he loses himself and has a fit,
he'll be in that crazed state for a while,
then he'll stop breathing soon after.
What?
Wait, what do you mean, he'll stop breathing?
Please save him, my lord.
My father lived alone...
in this unwell state for his entire life.
Please help him just this once. I ask of you.
There is one thing you can do.
But I'm not sure if it can help him.
What is it?
Chungsimwon.
It's the best medicine...
for mental illnesses.
But only the royal family can get their hands on it.
We can't find it out in the market.
That precious medicine is only used in the palace.
How am I going to find it?
Oh. Hey.
What's wrong? Did you cry?
Is it your father? Is he all right?
Of course, he's unwell.
He sits out on that street every single day.
It's a miracle he didn't fall sick sooner.
Hey, Cheon Gi.
Wait, Cheon Gi.
Hey.
Are you all right?
Do something.
Maejukheon Painting Contest.
Prince Yangmyeong's Maejukheon Painting Contest is...
a place where people with power, merchants, wealthy people,
and nobleman all gather.
The prize money is exorbitant.
If you take the first place,
it should be enough to get his medicine.
I also heard he granted a wish for the winner of the last contest.
But I hear every good painter from around the country...
will show up there.
It's not going to be easy for her to pass the first screening.
- Are you serious? - Of course.
Cheon Gi, you have no idea how vastly big this world is.
- There are hidden experts... - Not that.
Will Prince Yangmyeong grant a wish if I become the first place?
Yes, that goes without saying.
Cheon Gi.
Where have you been all along?
Lord Kim who's across in the other town wants...
a painting of a Taoist fairy and a mountain deity.
Scholar Seo of Sajik-dong...
Are you determined to keep me away from the painting contest again?
You're saying, "Men and women shouldn't be in the same place,"
"and we have moral principles, so just do your job."
I never said anything like that.
I said I'll let you go if you finish doing your job.
Master Choi, are you afraid I'll destroy the society's honor...
if I enter the painting contest?
Listen to this girl.
How dare you speak to me like this?
Forget the painting contest. You're on probation for while.
No.
Do you refuse to listen to me?
Why?
Are you afraid I'll go insane while painting just like my father?
Cheon...
Cheon Gi. It's not like that.
I don't care what you say.
You don't even know anything.
That little...
Gosh, my head.
Father, what should I do now?
Maejukheon Painting Contest. The prize money is exorbitant.
The contest is hosted by Prince Yangmyeong.
He's the best artist in this nation...
and the most beloved son of His Majesty.
He's right. Once you win this contest,
I'm sure he'll do anything for you which he can do as the royal family.
All right.
Let's do this.
Please hang in there, Father.
(Simcheonggak)
I was deeply shocked to hear that you had gone missing.
Are you feeling all right?
Your duty isn't to worry about me.
Did you do as you're told?
This is the book of that senior officer's fortune you wanted.
Good work.
Prince Joohyang is here.
I'll be there.
Please excuse me.
Be cautious with every action that you take.
He's very doubtful.
Yes.
You're here.
It has finally begun.
Yes, my lord.
But do you have to do this at Maejukheon?
I'm afraid you will expose your identity to them.
I understand why you're worried.
However,
the King has finally shown his true intentions.
This is the perfect opportunity...
to get my revenge.
Yes.
I also found more information on the woman from the dye house.
- And? - Her name is surely Hong Cheon Gi.
She lost her mother as a young girl,
and she looks after her father by making money with her paintings.
She's just an ordinary painter.
Her father was also once a painter of Gohwawon.
But he has gone insane and is barely alive out on the streets.
It's her. She's that girl.
What's wrong?
What about the eyes?
What do you mean?
How did she suddenly come to see?
Was she blind before?
Just as I'm about to get my prolonged revenge...
Why now?
My lord.
It's nothing. Let's go.
Around when the delegation of envoys from Yeon arrive here,
the King is about to abdicate the throne to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince?
But I heard his condition has not become any better...
even after he took all the medicine they could find.
His Majesty told Seomungwan to find a lucky day, so I'm sure.
We expected this to happen, and it's just happening sooner.
Your Highness.
Is this something you expected?
I apologize, Your Highness.
I hear Kang has a difficult time...
falling asleep every night because of his illness.
It might be a good idea to put him...
into a deeper sleep.
But it's still too early.
So it's not the time?
No. Even if we succeed in carrying out this deed,
we'll need the support of the officials.
We still need more people to trust and follow you in the Court.
You must get Prince Yangmyeong on our side.
- You mean, Yul? - Yes, Your Highness.
Why don't you attend the upcoming Maejukheon Painting Contest?
It'll be a great chance for you to sound out Prince Yangmyeong.
I'm one of the judges at the contest this year,
so I'll attend to you if you decide to join us.
Your Highness, this is Mae Hyang.
Mae Hyang?
Come in.
I'm Yeon Ji.
I'm Mae Wol.
There was something you promised last time.
That you'll ask for me...
if you come by Simcheonggak one more time.
My heart has been tied there ever since that day.
No man would open up his heart to a cliche...
any gisaeng could say.
The thing with men is this.
They're great and all, but they're all dull in the same way.
They always pretend like they're an indifferent, pious scholar,
then turn into little boys in my arms.
Tonight, it's impossible for me to hide...
my feelings for you, Your Highness.
I asked you to come in today...
to show kindness for your interest in me.
It doesn't mean anything more or less.
Do you understand?
Yes, Your Highness.
If you try to sound me out again,
I will not let it go.
I'll remember that.
Now, let's grab a drink.
- Yes. - Let's do that.
- Have a drink. - Then should I trust your words...
and bet a huge amount of money on Maejukheon Painting Contest?
My apologies, Your Highness.
Darn it. Why is it so hard to find the darned restroom?
Open up Wolseongdang again starting tomorrow.
Yes. What should I do with Vice-chief Jung Seon Rye?
We should make sure he never sets a foot in Guanyang again.
Yes, My Lord.
Ilwolseong?
Was he just talking about our boss?
Goodness, are you deaf?
We're going to Wolseongdang.
What? Right now?
Take everything that's worth money.
Yes, Boss.
My life is completely ruined because of some random girl.
Hong Cheon Gi. Don't let me catch you.
Once I do, I'll destroy you.
She's also a painter of sort, so I'm sure she's busy...
getting prepared for the Maejukheon Painting Contest.
Of course.
A huge amount of prize money is at stake.
Wait.
The prize money.
What did you do with the list of participants for the contest?
Did you add your name...
on the list of participants?
Yes.
Do you just flat out refuse to ever listen to me?
At first, I lost my temper and just threw it in.
But I now have a reason to be a part of the contest.
Please give me just one chance.
I won't hear this anymore. Chun Bok!
Yes, Master Choi.
Put her in the Room of Truth.
- Yes. - Master Choi. Master...
Wait, Uncle Chun Bok.
- Let's go. - It's not like that.
- Let's go. - Don't do this, Master Choi!
- Uncle Chun Bok. - Get in there.
Master Choi!
- Look back on your actions. - Please open this.
- Then you can finish painting too. - Please let me go.
Master Choi!
Master Choi. No, Father.
No, Master Choi doesn't have a better idea.
The only chance I have is winning the painting contest.
(The morning of Maejukheon Painting Contest)
A painting always begins with a line,
and it ends with another line.
Do not forget that. You must pour in...
all of your talents into one streak of line.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Master Choi! - Yes, Master Choi!

(Maejukheon Painting Contest)
Goodness.
Painters, please line up!
What are you doing?
You're here, Lord Park.
Come on inside.
- Hello, Master Choi. - Hello.
- Don't be too nervous. - Of course.
Could you all take out the contest ID slip beforehand?
Okay.
Prince Joohyang, you're here.
Good work. Where's Yangmyeong?
He's welcoming the guests inside.
This place looks like a street out there.
Master Choi!
You said your duty is...
to teach painters how to paint and not to get in the way...
of their future.
But you only locked me up like this.
Gosh.
Oh, whatever.
My goodness.
I'm here for my painting.
Gosh, you surprised me.
Yes, of course. Okay.
But the painting isn't...
Is it not ready yet?
Where is the painter I asked for?
No, it's locked.
Goodness.
He's a customer.
What?
I'm here for my painting.
Pardon? Which one?
Munbae and sehwa.
(Munbae: Drives out evil spirits. Sehwa: To celebrate the New Year's.)
Munbae and sehwa?
I do have this sehwa I drew.
What do you think about this, my lord?
I like it.
Sounds great. I'm glad that you like it.
One second.
Cheon Gi.
Father, I'll take the first place and come back.
(Maejukheon Painting Contest)
- You may go inside. - Thanks.
I'm Hong Cheon Gi of Baekyu Painters Society.
Hong Cheon Gi of Baekyu Painters Society.
Look who this is.
It's Painter Hong.
Darn it.
We need to square everything first.
How can you assault a lady in the middle of the day?
Where are your senses?
- What's he doing? - That's impossible.
- Let her go. - What's wrong with him?
Be quiet, all of you!
What do you know anyway?
Hey, you.
Are you really a painter?
Show me your contest ID slip.
Yes, sure.
I think I left it.
But I'm with Baekyu Painters Society.
I really am a painter. Please let me in.
Goodness, how can a woman be a painter?
You'll even make dogs laugh.
You can't go inside unless you have a contest ID slip.
Next person. Finish up quickly.
- Wait, but... - Hurry.
Let's go quietly while we're nice. Don't put up a fight.
No, wait. Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
Let her go immediately.
The litter?
Scholar.
I see that you two are together.
Watch your mouth! He's...
Man soo.
- Yes. - She's coming with me.
Says who? Come here.
