Secret Royal Inspector Joy (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 16 - Episode #1.16 - full transcript
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCALES, AND EVENTS ARE USED
IN AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER
AND NOT BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS
You should
be taking me to the Uigeumbu.
What are you trying to pull?
We will.
However, before we go,
there's something you must do.
Due to your unjust, tyrannical acts,
these people have lost their family,
friends, lives, and homes.
You must apologize to them first.
What?
Apologize?
All they want from you
is your sincere remorse and apology.
How ignorant and foolish you are.
How could you know so little
about how the world works?
Remorse?
Think about it carefully.
If I
had a conscience,
how could I have gained such power?
That's enough nonsense about remorse.
Hurry up and take me to the Uigeumbu.
I will go and receive my punishment there!
Do you now understand
why we took you here, not to the Uigeumbu?
Why you cursed little…
You should be careful with your words.
You could end up
losing your head, my lord.
What did I do so wrong?
To get power,
you broke the moral laws
and did inhumane things.
You held people in contempt
and mocked justice!
How is that a crime?
Desiring riches and yearning for power
is all part of human nature.
I only did what I was able to.
You're the incompetent one
for not being able to!
Being human doesn't mean
taking other people's lives
or disregarding
the ways of the world
to get what you want.
That is just the instinct of a beast.
Since
you even fall short of being a brute,
may I behead you now?
Listen.
How…
How about
we talk it out between us noblemen?
There's a distinction
between the noble and common,
and the aristocracy must keep face.
Good.
Send away those of lowly birth.
And let's…
Let us talk it out like human beings.
Using words…
Young Master!
Will you seek forgiveness…
or choose death?
If I have to ask
those lowly creatures for forgiveness,
I would rather you killed me.
But death is
too light a punishment for you.
I'll make sure you live
a life worse than death.
Take the criminal to the Uigeumbu!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
My lord.
He more than deserves to die.
Why did you let him live?
He isn't even worth killing.
I was only hoping
for a sign of repentance.
He will properly pay for his crimes.
He's getting what he deserves.
What will happen to them now?
Park Do-soo will be exiled
to a place 1,200km away
and then isolated.
How exactly will he be isolated?
A thorny fence will be installed
around the residence,
and the main gate
will always be locked with a padlock.
He'll be confined
and secluded from the outside world.
How many rooms will that house have?
Are there servants?
Have you lost your mind?
It's really over now.
Well done, my lord.
-Well done, sir.
-Well done, sir.
This is all thanks to you guys.
Let's all
go home now.
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
We can go home now!
Park Seung will be removed from office
and face death by boiling.
Death by boiling?
They'll put him into a cauldron
and pretend to boil him.
After he is taken out,
he'll be treated as if he were dead.
GHOST
Listen.
If I need to urinate…
How dare a ghost speak?
Just asking for it!
Here, you can pee in this.
Do you remember me?
You…
You're Tae-seo's mother,
the one that ran away.
You do remember me, then.
A slave who ran away from her master…
You should've died and disappeared
from the face of the earth.
How dare you show up like this?
What a brazen, lowly creature you are.
Do-soo is one
of the lowly creatures you speak of.
Do-soo has three red spots
on his back, does he not?
How…
do you know
about the red spots on his back?
Because he's my child.
I didn't want him to live being scorned,
so I switched the babies.
What on earth…
are you talking about?
Tae-seo is the legitimate son,
not Do-soo!
The one that you used as a pawn
before you mercilessly got rid of
when he got in the way.
He's your legitimate son!
I've been waiting for this day.
I will pay for my crimes with Do-soo.
I hope
you spend the rest of your days
being tormented in hell
while you painfully inch towards death.
Father…
Let's go now.
No…
Just wait and see.
You will die soon enough,
and you will remember this day
and cry tears of blood.
No…
Do-soo! No… Tae-seo! Tae-soo…
No…
No!
Ten out of ten
Again and again and again…
My lord.
What's the matter?
I…
What? What is it?
I have resigned!
Our lord is finally unemployed!
-Dreams do come true!
-That's right, punks!
Starting today, I'll be
rolling around on the floor and living
-an idle life.
-Yes!
-Idle life!
-Idle life!
We'll just play, eat, and sleep.
So happy!
Oh, yes! Nice!
We'll just play, eat, and sleep.
I can live as a man about town.
-About town!
-Yes! Oh, yes! Yes! Nice!
-We're not missing anything?
-No.
We can sell the rest at the market.
Gwang-soon. Bi-ryeong.
You don't have to come with me.
I can always come visit Hanyang
to see you. You can stay here.
What are you talking about? I'm so excited
to see my brother and siblings.
Hey, what good is Hanyang without you?
I came here to be with you two. Otherwise,
I wouldn't have come to Hanyang.
It is a bit of a shame
because we've made a home here,
but I prefer going to Gapbigocha together.
-You were planning to go there anyway.
-That's right!
Thank you both so much.
-Don't mention it.
-Come on now.
When we get there,
I'll be a needlewoman like I am now
and Bi-ryeong, a fortune-teller.
What about you?
I'm thinking about opening a pharmacy.
A pharmacy?
I hear there are a lot of sick people
who are unable to get medicine.
That's what I hear.
There are a few things
I picked up from my father.
I can differentiate herbs
and know their uses,
so it should be helpful
if I open a pharmacy.
-That sounds great!
-Really?
But a seamstress shop,
a fortune-teller shop, and a pharmacy…
It's going to cost quite a bit
to set that all up.
It will, but we've been working so hard.
-Let's see. So far…
-Wait.
What?
The truth is,
I discussed this with Lord Yi-eon already.
Then…
what's next?
I'll open a dumpling place.
What?
You know that my dumplings
are good enough
to bring peace to the whole country.
Have you seriously lost it?
How can a nobleman run a dumpling place?
You may have resigned,
but sales are for those of lowly birth.
Besides,
your whole family
might end up being ruined.
Your descendants won't be
able to take the state exams.
I know that.
However, it has been my lifelong dream
to be the best chef in all of Joseon.
I went through all that to resign,
and I can't even do
the one thing I want to do?
I mean,
unless you give up your noble title
and become a commoner…
A nobleman can never go into sales.
You don't want to move up
in the world or get married.
And now you want to go into sales?
Young Master, you really
can't do this to your grandmother.
You know that.
I'm of lowly birth,
so I can't marry Gwang-soon.
But you will give up
that nice noble title? That's nonsense.
You can't marry her?
She's a physician's daughter,
so she's middle-class.
If she marries me,
she becomes lower-class.
No matter how much I love her,
I can't let her become lower-class.
My lord, there are even people like us.
So please, stop saying
that you're going into sales.
Then, what about this?
I get some land on Gapbigocha,
and we all run our own shops there.
We can run a seamstress shop,
a fortune-teller shop, a pharmacy,
or whatever business we want.
In exchange, he just wants us to
open a dumpling place there as well.
-A dumpling place?
-A dumpling place?
He wants to run a dumpling place
with Yook-chil and Gu-pal.
So Yook-chil and Gu-pal are also coming?
Everyone together?
Does that include Gwang-soon?
Then I'm in.
You said it was crazy.
You punk. I said
going into sales was crazy.
I never said going to Gapbigocha was.
It'd be nice and reassuring to have them.
Exactly. I'll provide the money…
We'll run the businesses…
And then split the profits equally…
What do you think?
It sounds like a pretty good deal.
I'm all for it.
It doesn't sound like a bad idea.
But what are you going
to tell your grandmother?
I already told her I'd go to Gapbigocha
with you two to get some rest.
And she thought it was
a good idea and gave me permission.
But Young Master,
you can never be
directly involved in the sales. Okay?
If you promise
never to be directly involved,
I'll agree to it, for now.
Fine. Okay.
Eat up.
You first.
This is perfect!
Wait, what will we do again?
A seamstress shop, a fortune-teller shop…
-A pharmacy.
-A dumpling place.
Yook-chil.
This place will be our new base.
-It's great!
-It really is.
This is nice!
Can I set up
the dumpling place in the middle?
-Yes, of course.
-Yes.
Then I'll open my seamstress shop there.
It'll be nice if the seamstress shop
is next to the dumpling place.
A fortune-teller shop
should be in the corner, so there.
Then, I'll set up the pharmacy
near the entrance
so that people can
easily pick up medicine.
Okay. Our residences are over there,
so let's move our things.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Miss Jo-yi, let me do it for you.
What's with the miss all of a sudden?
Just call me Jo-yi.
Come on, Miss Jo-yi.
You and our lord are
in a relationship now.
Come on. That doesn't change anything.
I'm more comfortable with "Jo-yi."
Do what makes her comfortable.
Fine, Jo-yi.
Jo-yi.
Let's go.
Oh, right.
Did you find a chef?
Don't worry, I found
the best chef in Joseon.
I'll bring him over
once everything is ready.
Let's go.
Then let's decide on the sign first.
What should I write?
How's it going?
-Don't peek, my lord.
-Don't.
-I wasn't planning to.
-"I wasn't planning to."
Now, we'll reveal the signs
that we have made.
-Ta-da!
-Ta-da!
Here's my masterpiece.
It's "Dumpling House."
"Dumpling House"?
But we all have different businesses.
How can you just
write down Dumpling House?
But the dumpling place
will be at the very center.
And you shouldn't draw
such childish drawings.
Our dumpling place will be
an elegant establishment.
Even so, how could you
write it in Chinese characters?
How will people who don't know
how to read find the place?
That's right.
You're right. My lord, Jo-yi has a point.
I wanted to emphasize
our shops are clustered together.
So I came up with "Mokkoji."
That's nice.
-I like it.
-I like it.
But there's no way
of knowing what is being sold.
Then, we can just hang
the Mokkoji sign in the middle
and hang these drawings at your stores.
Then they'll know
what services are being offered.
And above all else,
we can use all the signs we made.
-That's it!
-I like that.
I think that's nice.
Okay. Then, I'll hang this
along with Yook-chil
and Gu-pal's drawings.
-My goodness. How nice.
-"Mokkoji."
-Mokko what?
-That's in Chinese characters too.
Palkkoji?
-This looks good.
-Balkkoji?
Bi-ryeong. Let's quickly finish this
and have a drink.
Gosh, there you go again
when we have so much to do.
Gu-pal, shall we have a drink?
I'm game.
Hey, now.
I purposefully put the tables there.
Why are you moving them here?
Don't stack the tables
in front of the seamstress shop.
It'll make it difficult
for the customers to enter.
Difficult for the customers?
I set it up so to make people see
your shop while they eat dumplings.
But if people sit here,
they'll block others' view of my shop.
What are you talking about? Look. When you
sit here alone having some dumplings…
It'll be like,
"There's a seamstress shop here?"
No view will be blocked.
That's only because you're tall.
Maybe he should go back
to being an inspector, right?
You won't see anything like this.
Going into business
together is never easy.
Aren't you going in?
I think they'll still be at it come dawn.
You should be aware
that you're quite the nagger.
Are you really telling me
that I nag too much?
Yes. You're the king of naggers.
"The king of naggers"? Seriously?
DUMPLING HOUSE
How's it? Take a look.
-A bit more to the opposite side.
-The opposite side?
-Just a bit more?
-Yes, good.
MEDICINE
It's almost ready.
When is the chef coming?
The chef?
He should be almost here.
I'll go and get him.
I wonder if there is a chef that will
satisfy our Young Master's palate.
I know, right? Who's going
to satisfy that particular palate?
The best chef in Joseon.
I am Bang-deuk.
It's nice to meet you all.
Bang-deuk!
Where have you been all this time?
Gu-pal.
You punk.
If you're Bang-deuk,
you should call me sir.
-Sure.
-Sir?
Bang-deuk, you're pretty cute.
-You punk!
-Bang-deuk!
Bang-deuk!
Their dumplings are so good.
-I heard there was a talented needlewoman.
-Oh, really?
I hear the fortune teller is so gifted.
IF YOU WANT TO TRY A SPECIAL DISH,
COME TO MOKKOJI DUMPLING HOUSE…
Have you seen that poster?
For the place
everyone has been flocking to.
You mean Dumpling House in Gapbigocha?
Gapbigocha? That's where my Yi-eon is.
People are going all the way to Gapbigocha
just for some dumplings?
You're out of the loop.
They call them "tasty hotspots."
I hear the trend now is
visiting famous restaurants
throughout the eight provinces.
There, you can get your fortune told
by the gifted Bi-ryeong
and you can even stop by
a pharmacy run by the daughter
of a former royal physician.
From what I hear, Needlewoman Jo-yi
of Ojang-dong is there as well.
-Oh, gosh.
-Oh, no.
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
Are you unwell, ma'am?
Not at all.
So,
where did you say this dumpling place was?
-One seafood dumpling.
-Thank you.
Welcome. We have a table here.
Please, have a seat here.
Let me draw it first.
This place gets four and a half stars.
You're going to be that generous?
Okay.
I heard you asked for me, my lord.
Doesn't it look tastier?
-It does.
-Speaking of which…
Can you give us some?
Comp.
Pardon?
Comp.
We'll use my drawing and his review
to spread the word in Hanyang.
We are noblemen
that seek out tasty hotspots
as professional gourmets.
So I'm sure you can guess
how influential we are.
I'm not interested in doing such a deal.
I solely rely on my cooking skills
with pride to make dumplings.
Luckily, they work perfectly fine.
I was worried because they were
under the sand for so long.
Thank goodness.
If we trade them for silver,
we'll be able to repatriate many POWs.
You're right.
Mother!
Hey.
Hello, sir.
If you came by the dumpling place,
I would've served you dumplings I made.
I asked you to come
because I had something to show you.
These rifles belonged to Kang Han-gi.
I held them as collateral
when she didn't pay me for gunpowder.
I apologize for not telling you sooner.
And dealing gunpowder
was inexcusably wrong.
As I was looking to earn money quickly
to repatriate the POWs,
I started dealing with gunpowder.
And to trade it,
I lived as Turukson on Tail Island.
I am aware.
I'm sure you had no other choice.
Anyway, I'm thinking
of trading all these rifles for silver
and leaving for Qing.
You're leaving?
I'm planning to bring back the women
who were taken to Qing.
Do you have to go?
We finally reunited like this.
This is
something I must do.
Try to understand.
Your life
belongs to you.
Thank you.
So I was hoping
you could be an anchor
to them here while I'm gone.
Then,
how about
Jo-yi instead of me?
My lord.
I'm sure she'll be able
to fill your shoes quite well.
I will be rooting
for Kim Jo-yi as Ryu Deok-bong.
Do you think I can pull it off?
You have me by your side.
What are you afraid of?
I will forever be
the sponsor of Tail Island.
By the way, are you really closing
the restaurant for the next two days?
We worked for five days straight,
so we need to rest
for two days to regain the energy.
I've never thought about
taking a day off before in my life.
Taking time off is making me feel guilty.
You lived your life diligently.
What is there to feel guilty about?
We all made this place happen together.
Jo-yi.
You can do whatever you want.
So, what would you
like to do on your day off?
Then…
Let's get everyone together
and have some fun.
-Everyone?
-Yes.
Let's invite all the children
and women in Tail Island
to have some fun together.
-Together?
-Yes.
Okay, let's do that.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom!
The trumpet creeper is in bloom?
Where? Can you see it?
-Can you see it?
-No, I can't.
Wait.
I'm not saying they're actually in bloom.
It's just a name of a game.
-I see. What a strange name for a game.
-Yes.
We all played this game
when we were younger.
You've never played it?
When I was young,
I was busy attending the school
to learn how to read and write.
Okay, now we'll start the game!
Okay, let's give it a go.
Now, there will be a penalty
for the losing team.
Since we're taller,
we'll start three steps behind.
This game is not about height,
it's about heart.
You need to be quick-witted,
quick on your feet, and quick to respond.
All the qualities that I possess.
However, you cannot get hurt.
That is an order.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, my lord.
You're dead. Go back.
-I'm sorry.
-Dumb inspector.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
Trumpet creepers!
You're dead. Go back. Now. I'm busy.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
-I saw that. Go back.
-Do not get hurt.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
You're dead. You too.
Go back.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
The trumpet creeper is in bloom!
We won!
You went on and on
about height or whatever.
You weren't able to do anything.
And she rang her bells!
-Go back.
-I never.
Is this how it's played?
Yes, and you lost.
You lost, so you must
receive your penalty.
Fine. What is the penalty?
You must go to the cemetery
on the back mountains at night
and plant a flag there.
You had to let Jo-yi have her way.
Look how we ended up.
-Stand back up.
-You're the one to talk.
You tried to save Gwang-soon
and ended up knocking me out, too.
Why did you give in like that?
Will you be quiet?
We need to find the cemetery first.
My goodness.
He acted like a know-it-all earlier
but got us lost again.
It's not like
him getting lost is anything new.
What? Seriously! What is it?
I think I found the way.
Maybe not?
Isn't it that way?
I think it is this way.
-Maybe not?
-I doubt…
Oh, my elbow!
-I found it!
-Just like that?
-Where?
-Over there.
Where?
I don't see any graves over there.
It's over there. Go and check. Hurry up.
-I can't see anything.
-Go and check. Hurry up.
I'm so scared.
It's so scary to go by myself.
I'm so scared!
So scared!
Yook-chil.
What…
Gwang-soon? What are you doing here?
I…
I've been waiting for someone here.
For whom?
Who are you waiting for
this late at night, all dolled up?
Who could it be?
Well…
A man.
A man?
Who is it?
Why can't you say it?
Are you a dummy?
Why can't you say who he is
and he's your man?
It's you!
I've been waiting for you.
A cemetery in the middle of the night?
That's too harsh.
Come with me.
The truth is…
Gwang-soon wants to marry Yook-chil,
but he just won't ask her.
The thing is…
He wants to but can't.
-Because of his lowly class.
-I know that.
Gwang-soon is aware of it, too.
But she doesn't care about that
since she's even lived as a slave.
The only problem is that Yook-chil
is not willing to propose to her.
I didn't know she felt that way.
So I'm going
to use the penalty as an excuse
to get the two
to meet in front of the shrine.
-You want to arrange a seubcheob?
-Yes.
Gwang-soon came up with it
so that Yook-chil can propose
to her without feeling pressure.
Then,
I'll let Gu-pal know of the plan
and use the penalty as an excuse
to bring Yook-chil with us to the shrine.
Bi-ryeong, Gwang-soon, and I
will be at the shrine.
All right.
This can't be…
I was waiting here
hoping that you'd be
the first man to go by.
Marry me!
-Everyone here is a witness.
-Yes.
You know you must take her
as your wife, right?
The deity says you'll be together
for 100 years!
After 20 years,
I'll finally have my own room.
It looks like we have no choice
but to share a room starting today.
I've already packed.
Wait.
This reminds me.
What about Lord Yi-eon and Jo-yi?
You became a seubcheob couple too.
You said you should be flogged
if you broke the custom, didn't you?
Rain.
-What?
-What?
Doesn't it look like it's going to rain
soon? We should hurry and get back.
-It's a full moon. What rain?
-No.
-It'll suddenly pour.
-You'll be dragged…
Let's go, baby.
-Let's go.
-I'll be your umbrella, baby.
Let's hurry.
Wait for me!
Rain…
It looks like there will be good news.
The magpies are singing.
I guess we should be
expecting a special visitor.
What does this say?
Hey…
This document says
your status has been revoked.
Revoked?
Does that mean
I'm no longer a slave or something?
That's right.
Yook-chil!
Here…
It's from our lord.
He didn't want to interrupt
your first night together.
He says that it's your wedding gift.
Thanks to you, my status was revoked, too!
-Is that true?
-Yes. This says so.
That's right. Then…
That means
our children can live freely
as members of the middle class.
Thank you, my lord.
Thank you, my lord!
Yook-chil…
Yook-chil.
Well done!
-Gwang-soon.
-Well done!
-Gwang-soon.
-This is great. So great!
Gwang-soon.
Gwang-soon…
Hold on…
My goodness. I can do it. Let me do it.
-Have a nice day.
-Take care.
What? Are you jealous?
No, it's not that.
Let's be honest.
I'm better looking than him.
But why can't I find someone?
Well, it turns out,
every Jack has his Jill.
When the time comes,
you'll find someone, too.
When? In my next life?
Then should we ask Bi-ryeong?
Bi-ryeong!
Hey, Jo-yi. What's up?
-Listen.
-Yes?
Can you read Gu-pal's fortune?
Sure. Is there something
you want to find out?
It's not exactly that.
You know, Lord Yi-eon and Yook-chil
have both found their life partners.
But I'm still alone.
So I was wondering,
if you do that thing you do,
will you be able to find out
when I'll meet mine?
-Is that so?
-Yes.
Then, let's see.
Let's see here.
That's odd. So odd.
Mal-jong is still
not over Pal-soon, I see.
What?
Do you know how cute you are?
Pal-soon, you've always been
the one for me.
Cha Mal-jong?
It won't be easy because Mal-jong
won't let go of Pal-soon.
That bastard…
Oh, you poor thing…
I told you I didn't want to do this!
Gu-pal.
Yes?
-This is why I didn't want to do it.
-Sorry.
Oh, no.
Maybe I shouldn't
have talked him into this.
Jo-yi!
Yes?
It's me. Bo-ri.
I came because I missed you.
Bo-ri?
Yes. It's me.
Gosh. It's so nice to see you doing well.
What about you?
Are you doing well where you are?
Yes.
I even met my baby and my mom.
I was able to meet my baby safe and sound
because you properly sent me off
with the baby clothes.
I see.
I'm glad.
So, Jo-yi,
enjoy your life here
until you're sick of it.
And we can meet again
later. Much later.
Okay?
Goodness. My baby is asking for me.
Do you have to go?
Can't you stay a little longer?
You'll know once you become a mom.
I'm going to leave now, Jo-yi.
My goodness.
How can I possibly leave in peace
if you cry like that? Smile, okay?
Okay.
Go on.
Bye.
What?
Oh, Jo-yi.
Gu-pal will find someone.
Don't worry too much.
Bi-ryeong.
What's the matter?
Have you heard?
I was in Hanyang not too long ago.
And I heard from people there
that the King is quite sick.
I heard that, too.
I heard he ate sweet injeolmi so much
that he's got diabetes.
Oh, dear.
-Your Majesty!
-Your Majesty!
-Call a physician!
-Your Majesty! Hurry up!
Then,
maybe our lives will improve a bit?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Just hurry up and eat your dumpling soup.
It's the worst right now.
It has to get better.
That's right.
Right. You're right.
Can we get some more radish kimchi?
Sure.
-We actually ran out of it.
-I see.
I felt bad, so I brought some dumplings.
Dumplings on the house.
-Oh, you didn't need to.
-Enjoy.
Thank you.
We'll enjoy them.
-Hello. Welcome.
-Hello.
Aren't you Yook-chil?
Gu-pal, is that you?
What are you two…
Oh, so…
Isn't that…
Isn't that Yi-eon?
My lady.
Why would Young Master be in such clothes?
Then again…
I'm sure you're here
because you heard the rumors.
We're also here to try their dumplings.
Yes, that's right.
He just looks so much like him.
That tall fellow over there.
-Isn't that Yi-eon?
-No, ma'am.
Why would he be there doing that?
-That's true.
-Yes.
Yi-eon wouldn't be here doing that.
Then,
where is Yi-eon?
He went to use the outhouse.
He should be back shortly.
-Why don't you have a seat, ma'am?
-All right.
What is Grandmother doing here?
What should I do?
Clothes!
-Here! Hat!
-Hat!
Hold on! Aren't you rushing too much?
Right! Hurry!
What would you like?
I mean, what should we order for you?
Watershield dumplings, seafood dumplings…
-Just order one of each.
-Yes, ma'am.
Give us one of each!
Everything you have!
They're so nice.
Grandmother.
When did you arrive?
You should've come to the house.
I thought I may see you here
because you love dumplings so much,
and I was right.
It's close to our house, you see.
We come here often.
What do you mean?
Then
is that girl named Jo-yi
staying with you as well?
Follow me.
I wasn't just talking to you.
Why don't we talk first?
I saw that pipsqueak
still wear her hair down.
I guess you haven't gotten married.
We are living
happily together, Grandmother.
Exactly!
You two are living together,
so why haven't you gotten married?
What does that little brat
take my grandson for?
Jo-yi needs some time to think as well.
Then again,
cozily shacking up with her
is better than going
on dangerous missions
as an inspector or whatever.
By the way,
do you live alone in this room?
Yes.
Then where is Jo-yi's room?
There's a separate room
for the women over there.
Why you damn fool!
Pardon?
Be careful, Grandmother.
If they're put in the same room,
a baby might be conceived.
Then, they'll have
no choice but to get married.
I will be staying
at your place for a few days.
Pardon?
I'm saying I will be staying in this room,
so you sleep somewhere else.
Grandmother?
What do I do now?
Yook-chil…
Gwang-soon is with him now.
Oh, right. There's that vacant room.
I have no choice
but to go to Gu-pal's room.
Hey, Gu-pal!
-You're still up?
-Hey.
-Are you coming from the outhouse?
-Yes.
Well…
Can I sleep in your room?
-Don't do this.
-Gu-pal!
My grandmother is here.
This is my very first room in 20 years.
Forget it.
Gu-pal!
Gu-pal.
Gu-pal?
Jo-yi.
Are you asleep?
Jo-yi?
Are you asleep?
Don't worry.
I…
promise never to cross this pillow.
Whatever. I'm tired and sleepy.
I'm going to sleep now.
You're not
really sleeping, are you?
Hey!
I'm here right next to you…
How could you sleep?
I…
want to see the stars.
My lord.
I'm really happy right now.
I like you.
I'm happy
that I'm doing what I want to freely.
Having a happy life was my dream.
And my dream has come true.
I'm happy.
I am as well.
The time I'm spending with you here
is precious to me,
and I'm happy that we're able
to share every meal together.
Jo-yi.
Will you
be my companion for the rest of my life?
Yes, my lord.
MOKKOJI
My goodness. I told you
to put things away after using them.
One makes a mess
while the other cleans it up.
Hold on. I'm letting you stay in my room.
How could you say such a thing?
So I clean up more than you do.
By the way, why do you
not wash your feet before bed?
Oh, come on.
I can't live with all your nagging.
If you don't want to hear it,
wash your feet!
Stop that, or get out of my room!
Fine. Do you think I won't?
Take your stuff with you!
Fine!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
SECRET ROYAL INSPECTOR & JOY
THE SAFETY OF THE CHILD ACTORS
IN THIS EPISODE WAS PROPERLY ENSURED
ALL SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS
WERE SAFELY STAGED
SPECIAL THANKS TO
JO KWAN-WOO AND JO EUN-SOUL
-We'll start.
-Oh, my goodness.
-What are you doing?
-Get ready.
-What the? Is that supposed to be me?
-Yes, it is.
Do I…
One, two…
Get up, my lord.
I'm leaving.
Are you abandoning me?
Yes, I have a late-night snack
waiting for me.
Shall we start?
Hurry. Let's do this.
-Okay.
-Ready.
Yi-eon…
Didn't I wrap her up really well?
-You did that?
-Yes.
I feel very stable.
Come here. You must be cold. Come here.
You hugged me because of this.
-All of a sudden.
-So what?
Maybe we should prepare…
I'm sorry.
They must be tired.
Maybe we should
prepare some food for them? Okay.
I'm not interested at all…
Cut. All right.
This isn't working.
I can't aim it very well.
Look forward. Forward.
-Look forward.
-Okay.
Version Two.
We were perfectly fine sitting down.
Why are we doing this?
-You must be so hot.
-Can someone wipe away Jo-yi's sweat?
Seriously, she has
beads of sweat above her lip.
Don't you need the fan more than I do?
-That is how you help me.
-I told you, you can't!
No, that's too cheesy.
Cheesy. Don't do that.
Cut!
But this is the problem.
The hat straps are the problem.
I need to get going. I'm busy.
Wow, she's really fast.
She was as fast
as she is when she goes home.
I need to get going. I'm busy.
Shouldn't I get closer and tie something?
-Right.
-Right.
Go away.
Leave.
We're supposed to play a game.
-Take a look at this screen.
-Kindly look here.
You look like Jafar.
From Aladdin.
-You're filming this?
-We're filming.
Sorry. It just looked so fun.
-Really?
-Yes.
-So happy!
-So happy!
Yes! So happy!
The hat strap fell.
-Cut!
-Cut!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Isn't that too much?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Yes! I understand! I understand!
Let's go!
I told you to hold it up.
-Wow, so fun.
-Okay.
-Thank you for loving
-Thank you for loving
-Secret Royal Inspector Joy!
-Secret Royal Inspector Joy!
LOCALES, AND EVENTS ARE USED
IN AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER
AND NOT BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS
You should
be taking me to the Uigeumbu.
What are you trying to pull?
We will.
However, before we go,
there's something you must do.
Due to your unjust, tyrannical acts,
these people have lost their family,
friends, lives, and homes.
You must apologize to them first.
What?
Apologize?
All they want from you
is your sincere remorse and apology.
How ignorant and foolish you are.
How could you know so little
about how the world works?
Remorse?
Think about it carefully.
If I
had a conscience,
how could I have gained such power?
That's enough nonsense about remorse.
Hurry up and take me to the Uigeumbu.
I will go and receive my punishment there!
Do you now understand
why we took you here, not to the Uigeumbu?
Why you cursed little…
You should be careful with your words.
You could end up
losing your head, my lord.
What did I do so wrong?
To get power,
you broke the moral laws
and did inhumane things.
You held people in contempt
and mocked justice!
How is that a crime?
Desiring riches and yearning for power
is all part of human nature.
I only did what I was able to.
You're the incompetent one
for not being able to!
Being human doesn't mean
taking other people's lives
or disregarding
the ways of the world
to get what you want.
That is just the instinct of a beast.
Since
you even fall short of being a brute,
may I behead you now?
Listen.
How…
How about
we talk it out between us noblemen?
There's a distinction
between the noble and common,
and the aristocracy must keep face.
Good.
Send away those of lowly birth.
And let's…
Let us talk it out like human beings.
Using words…
Young Master!
Will you seek forgiveness…
or choose death?
If I have to ask
those lowly creatures for forgiveness,
I would rather you killed me.
But death is
too light a punishment for you.
I'll make sure you live
a life worse than death.
Take the criminal to the Uigeumbu!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
My lord.
He more than deserves to die.
Why did you let him live?
He isn't even worth killing.
I was only hoping
for a sign of repentance.
He will properly pay for his crimes.
He's getting what he deserves.
What will happen to them now?
Park Do-soo will be exiled
to a place 1,200km away
and then isolated.
How exactly will he be isolated?
A thorny fence will be installed
around the residence,
and the main gate
will always be locked with a padlock.
He'll be confined
and secluded from the outside world.
How many rooms will that house have?
Are there servants?
Have you lost your mind?
It's really over now.
Well done, my lord.
-Well done, sir.
-Well done, sir.
This is all thanks to you guys.
Let's all
go home now.
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
We can go home now!
Park Seung will be removed from office
and face death by boiling.
Death by boiling?
They'll put him into a cauldron
and pretend to boil him.
After he is taken out,
he'll be treated as if he were dead.
GHOST
Listen.
If I need to urinate…
How dare a ghost speak?
Just asking for it!
Here, you can pee in this.
Do you remember me?
You…
You're Tae-seo's mother,
the one that ran away.
You do remember me, then.
A slave who ran away from her master…
You should've died and disappeared
from the face of the earth.
How dare you show up like this?
What a brazen, lowly creature you are.
Do-soo is one
of the lowly creatures you speak of.
Do-soo has three red spots
on his back, does he not?
How…
do you know
about the red spots on his back?
Because he's my child.
I didn't want him to live being scorned,
so I switched the babies.
What on earth…
are you talking about?
Tae-seo is the legitimate son,
not Do-soo!
The one that you used as a pawn
before you mercilessly got rid of
when he got in the way.
He's your legitimate son!
I've been waiting for this day.
I will pay for my crimes with Do-soo.
I hope
you spend the rest of your days
being tormented in hell
while you painfully inch towards death.
Father…
Let's go now.
No…
Just wait and see.
You will die soon enough,
and you will remember this day
and cry tears of blood.
No…
Do-soo! No… Tae-seo! Tae-soo…
No…
No!
Ten out of ten
Again and again and again…
My lord.
What's the matter?
I…
What? What is it?
I have resigned!
Our lord is finally unemployed!
-Dreams do come true!
-That's right, punks!
Starting today, I'll be
rolling around on the floor and living
-an idle life.
-Yes!
-Idle life!
-Idle life!
We'll just play, eat, and sleep.
So happy!
Oh, yes! Nice!
We'll just play, eat, and sleep.
I can live as a man about town.
-About town!
-Yes! Oh, yes! Yes! Nice!
-We're not missing anything?
-No.
We can sell the rest at the market.
Gwang-soon. Bi-ryeong.
You don't have to come with me.
I can always come visit Hanyang
to see you. You can stay here.
What are you talking about? I'm so excited
to see my brother and siblings.
Hey, what good is Hanyang without you?
I came here to be with you two. Otherwise,
I wouldn't have come to Hanyang.
It is a bit of a shame
because we've made a home here,
but I prefer going to Gapbigocha together.
-You were planning to go there anyway.
-That's right!
Thank you both so much.
-Don't mention it.
-Come on now.
When we get there,
I'll be a needlewoman like I am now
and Bi-ryeong, a fortune-teller.
What about you?
I'm thinking about opening a pharmacy.
A pharmacy?
I hear there are a lot of sick people
who are unable to get medicine.
That's what I hear.
There are a few things
I picked up from my father.
I can differentiate herbs
and know their uses,
so it should be helpful
if I open a pharmacy.
-That sounds great!
-Really?
But a seamstress shop,
a fortune-teller shop, and a pharmacy…
It's going to cost quite a bit
to set that all up.
It will, but we've been working so hard.
-Let's see. So far…
-Wait.
What?
The truth is,
I discussed this with Lord Yi-eon already.
Then…
what's next?
I'll open a dumpling place.
What?
You know that my dumplings
are good enough
to bring peace to the whole country.
Have you seriously lost it?
How can a nobleman run a dumpling place?
You may have resigned,
but sales are for those of lowly birth.
Besides,
your whole family
might end up being ruined.
Your descendants won't be
able to take the state exams.
I know that.
However, it has been my lifelong dream
to be the best chef in all of Joseon.
I went through all that to resign,
and I can't even do
the one thing I want to do?
I mean,
unless you give up your noble title
and become a commoner…
A nobleman can never go into sales.
You don't want to move up
in the world or get married.
And now you want to go into sales?
Young Master, you really
can't do this to your grandmother.
You know that.
I'm of lowly birth,
so I can't marry Gwang-soon.
But you will give up
that nice noble title? That's nonsense.
You can't marry her?
She's a physician's daughter,
so she's middle-class.
If she marries me,
she becomes lower-class.
No matter how much I love her,
I can't let her become lower-class.
My lord, there are even people like us.
So please, stop saying
that you're going into sales.
Then, what about this?
I get some land on Gapbigocha,
and we all run our own shops there.
We can run a seamstress shop,
a fortune-teller shop, a pharmacy,
or whatever business we want.
In exchange, he just wants us to
open a dumpling place there as well.
-A dumpling place?
-A dumpling place?
He wants to run a dumpling place
with Yook-chil and Gu-pal.
So Yook-chil and Gu-pal are also coming?
Everyone together?
Does that include Gwang-soon?
Then I'm in.
You said it was crazy.
You punk. I said
going into sales was crazy.
I never said going to Gapbigocha was.
It'd be nice and reassuring to have them.
Exactly. I'll provide the money…
We'll run the businesses…
And then split the profits equally…
What do you think?
It sounds like a pretty good deal.
I'm all for it.
It doesn't sound like a bad idea.
But what are you going
to tell your grandmother?
I already told her I'd go to Gapbigocha
with you two to get some rest.
And she thought it was
a good idea and gave me permission.
But Young Master,
you can never be
directly involved in the sales. Okay?
If you promise
never to be directly involved,
I'll agree to it, for now.
Fine. Okay.
Eat up.
You first.
This is perfect!
Wait, what will we do again?
A seamstress shop, a fortune-teller shop…
-A pharmacy.
-A dumpling place.
Yook-chil.
This place will be our new base.
-It's great!
-It really is.
This is nice!
Can I set up
the dumpling place in the middle?
-Yes, of course.
-Yes.
Then I'll open my seamstress shop there.
It'll be nice if the seamstress shop
is next to the dumpling place.
A fortune-teller shop
should be in the corner, so there.
Then, I'll set up the pharmacy
near the entrance
so that people can
easily pick up medicine.
Okay. Our residences are over there,
so let's move our things.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Miss Jo-yi, let me do it for you.
What's with the miss all of a sudden?
Just call me Jo-yi.
Come on, Miss Jo-yi.
You and our lord are
in a relationship now.
Come on. That doesn't change anything.
I'm more comfortable with "Jo-yi."
Do what makes her comfortable.
Fine, Jo-yi.
Jo-yi.
Let's go.
Oh, right.
Did you find a chef?
Don't worry, I found
the best chef in Joseon.
I'll bring him over
once everything is ready.
Let's go.
Then let's decide on the sign first.
What should I write?
How's it going?
-Don't peek, my lord.
-Don't.
-I wasn't planning to.
-"I wasn't planning to."
Now, we'll reveal the signs
that we have made.
-Ta-da!
-Ta-da!
Here's my masterpiece.
It's "Dumpling House."
"Dumpling House"?
But we all have different businesses.
How can you just
write down Dumpling House?
But the dumpling place
will be at the very center.
And you shouldn't draw
such childish drawings.
Our dumpling place will be
an elegant establishment.
Even so, how could you
write it in Chinese characters?
How will people who don't know
how to read find the place?
That's right.
You're right. My lord, Jo-yi has a point.
I wanted to emphasize
our shops are clustered together.
So I came up with "Mokkoji."
That's nice.
-I like it.
-I like it.
But there's no way
of knowing what is being sold.
Then, we can just hang
the Mokkoji sign in the middle
and hang these drawings at your stores.
Then they'll know
what services are being offered.
And above all else,
we can use all the signs we made.
-That's it!
-I like that.
I think that's nice.
Okay. Then, I'll hang this
along with Yook-chil
and Gu-pal's drawings.
-My goodness. How nice.
-"Mokkoji."
-Mokko what?
-That's in Chinese characters too.
Palkkoji?
-This looks good.
-Balkkoji?
Bi-ryeong. Let's quickly finish this
and have a drink.
Gosh, there you go again
when we have so much to do.
Gu-pal, shall we have a drink?
I'm game.
Hey, now.
I purposefully put the tables there.
Why are you moving them here?
Don't stack the tables
in front of the seamstress shop.
It'll make it difficult
for the customers to enter.
Difficult for the customers?
I set it up so to make people see
your shop while they eat dumplings.
But if people sit here,
they'll block others' view of my shop.
What are you talking about? Look. When you
sit here alone having some dumplings…
It'll be like,
"There's a seamstress shop here?"
No view will be blocked.
That's only because you're tall.
Maybe he should go back
to being an inspector, right?
You won't see anything like this.
Going into business
together is never easy.
Aren't you going in?
I think they'll still be at it come dawn.
You should be aware
that you're quite the nagger.
Are you really telling me
that I nag too much?
Yes. You're the king of naggers.
"The king of naggers"? Seriously?
DUMPLING HOUSE
How's it? Take a look.
-A bit more to the opposite side.
-The opposite side?
-Just a bit more?
-Yes, good.
MEDICINE
It's almost ready.
When is the chef coming?
The chef?
He should be almost here.
I'll go and get him.
I wonder if there is a chef that will
satisfy our Young Master's palate.
I know, right? Who's going
to satisfy that particular palate?
The best chef in Joseon.
I am Bang-deuk.
It's nice to meet you all.
Bang-deuk!
Where have you been all this time?
Gu-pal.
You punk.
If you're Bang-deuk,
you should call me sir.
-Sure.
-Sir?
Bang-deuk, you're pretty cute.
-You punk!
-Bang-deuk!
Bang-deuk!
Their dumplings are so good.
-I heard there was a talented needlewoman.
-Oh, really?
I hear the fortune teller is so gifted.
IF YOU WANT TO TRY A SPECIAL DISH,
COME TO MOKKOJI DUMPLING HOUSE…
Have you seen that poster?
For the place
everyone has been flocking to.
You mean Dumpling House in Gapbigocha?
Gapbigocha? That's where my Yi-eon is.
People are going all the way to Gapbigocha
just for some dumplings?
You're out of the loop.
They call them "tasty hotspots."
I hear the trend now is
visiting famous restaurants
throughout the eight provinces.
There, you can get your fortune told
by the gifted Bi-ryeong
and you can even stop by
a pharmacy run by the daughter
of a former royal physician.
From what I hear, Needlewoman Jo-yi
of Ojang-dong is there as well.
-Oh, gosh.
-Oh, no.
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
Are you unwell, ma'am?
Not at all.
So,
where did you say this dumpling place was?
-One seafood dumpling.
-Thank you.
Welcome. We have a table here.
Please, have a seat here.
Let me draw it first.
This place gets four and a half stars.
You're going to be that generous?
Okay.
I heard you asked for me, my lord.
Doesn't it look tastier?
-It does.
-Speaking of which…
Can you give us some?
Comp.
Pardon?
Comp.
We'll use my drawing and his review
to spread the word in Hanyang.
We are noblemen
that seek out tasty hotspots
as professional gourmets.
So I'm sure you can guess
how influential we are.
I'm not interested in doing such a deal.
I solely rely on my cooking skills
with pride to make dumplings.
Luckily, they work perfectly fine.
I was worried because they were
under the sand for so long.
Thank goodness.
If we trade them for silver,
we'll be able to repatriate many POWs.
You're right.
Mother!
Hey.
Hello, sir.
If you came by the dumpling place,
I would've served you dumplings I made.
I asked you to come
because I had something to show you.
These rifles belonged to Kang Han-gi.
I held them as collateral
when she didn't pay me for gunpowder.
I apologize for not telling you sooner.
And dealing gunpowder
was inexcusably wrong.
As I was looking to earn money quickly
to repatriate the POWs,
I started dealing with gunpowder.
And to trade it,
I lived as Turukson on Tail Island.
I am aware.
I'm sure you had no other choice.
Anyway, I'm thinking
of trading all these rifles for silver
and leaving for Qing.
You're leaving?
I'm planning to bring back the women
who were taken to Qing.
Do you have to go?
We finally reunited like this.
This is
something I must do.
Try to understand.
Your life
belongs to you.
Thank you.
So I was hoping
you could be an anchor
to them here while I'm gone.
Then,
how about
Jo-yi instead of me?
My lord.
I'm sure she'll be able
to fill your shoes quite well.
I will be rooting
for Kim Jo-yi as Ryu Deok-bong.
Do you think I can pull it off?
You have me by your side.
What are you afraid of?
I will forever be
the sponsor of Tail Island.
By the way, are you really closing
the restaurant for the next two days?
We worked for five days straight,
so we need to rest
for two days to regain the energy.
I've never thought about
taking a day off before in my life.
Taking time off is making me feel guilty.
You lived your life diligently.
What is there to feel guilty about?
We all made this place happen together.
Jo-yi.
You can do whatever you want.
So, what would you
like to do on your day off?
Then…
Let's get everyone together
and have some fun.
-Everyone?
-Yes.
Let's invite all the children
and women in Tail Island
to have some fun together.
-Together?
-Yes.
Okay, let's do that.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom!
The trumpet creeper is in bloom?
Where? Can you see it?
-Can you see it?
-No, I can't.
Wait.
I'm not saying they're actually in bloom.
It's just a name of a game.
-I see. What a strange name for a game.
-Yes.
We all played this game
when we were younger.
You've never played it?
When I was young,
I was busy attending the school
to learn how to read and write.
Okay, now we'll start the game!
Okay, let's give it a go.
Now, there will be a penalty
for the losing team.
Since we're taller,
we'll start three steps behind.
This game is not about height,
it's about heart.
You need to be quick-witted,
quick on your feet, and quick to respond.
All the qualities that I possess.
However, you cannot get hurt.
That is an order.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, my lord.
You're dead. Go back.
-I'm sorry.
-Dumb inspector.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
Trumpet creepers!
You're dead. Go back. Now. I'm busy.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
-I saw that. Go back.
-Do not get hurt.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
You're dead. You too.
Go back.
The trumpet creeper is in bloom
The trumpet creeper is in bloom!
We won!
You went on and on
about height or whatever.
You weren't able to do anything.
And she rang her bells!
-Go back.
-I never.
Is this how it's played?
Yes, and you lost.
You lost, so you must
receive your penalty.
Fine. What is the penalty?
You must go to the cemetery
on the back mountains at night
and plant a flag there.
You had to let Jo-yi have her way.
Look how we ended up.
-Stand back up.
-You're the one to talk.
You tried to save Gwang-soon
and ended up knocking me out, too.
Why did you give in like that?
Will you be quiet?
We need to find the cemetery first.
My goodness.
He acted like a know-it-all earlier
but got us lost again.
It's not like
him getting lost is anything new.
What? Seriously! What is it?
I think I found the way.
Maybe not?
Isn't it that way?
I think it is this way.
-Maybe not?
-I doubt…
Oh, my elbow!
-I found it!
-Just like that?
-Where?
-Over there.
Where?
I don't see any graves over there.
It's over there. Go and check. Hurry up.
-I can't see anything.
-Go and check. Hurry up.
I'm so scared.
It's so scary to go by myself.
I'm so scared!
So scared!
Yook-chil.
What…
Gwang-soon? What are you doing here?
I…
I've been waiting for someone here.
For whom?
Who are you waiting for
this late at night, all dolled up?
Who could it be?
Well…
A man.
A man?
Who is it?
Why can't you say it?
Are you a dummy?
Why can't you say who he is
and he's your man?
It's you!
I've been waiting for you.
A cemetery in the middle of the night?
That's too harsh.
Come with me.
The truth is…
Gwang-soon wants to marry Yook-chil,
but he just won't ask her.
The thing is…
He wants to but can't.
-Because of his lowly class.
-I know that.
Gwang-soon is aware of it, too.
But she doesn't care about that
since she's even lived as a slave.
The only problem is that Yook-chil
is not willing to propose to her.
I didn't know she felt that way.
So I'm going
to use the penalty as an excuse
to get the two
to meet in front of the shrine.
-You want to arrange a seubcheob?
-Yes.
Gwang-soon came up with it
so that Yook-chil can propose
to her without feeling pressure.
Then,
I'll let Gu-pal know of the plan
and use the penalty as an excuse
to bring Yook-chil with us to the shrine.
Bi-ryeong, Gwang-soon, and I
will be at the shrine.
All right.
This can't be…
I was waiting here
hoping that you'd be
the first man to go by.
Marry me!
-Everyone here is a witness.
-Yes.
You know you must take her
as your wife, right?
The deity says you'll be together
for 100 years!
After 20 years,
I'll finally have my own room.
It looks like we have no choice
but to share a room starting today.
I've already packed.
Wait.
This reminds me.
What about Lord Yi-eon and Jo-yi?
You became a seubcheob couple too.
You said you should be flogged
if you broke the custom, didn't you?
Rain.
-What?
-What?
Doesn't it look like it's going to rain
soon? We should hurry and get back.
-It's a full moon. What rain?
-No.
-It'll suddenly pour.
-You'll be dragged…
Let's go, baby.
-Let's go.
-I'll be your umbrella, baby.
Let's hurry.
Wait for me!
Rain…
It looks like there will be good news.
The magpies are singing.
I guess we should be
expecting a special visitor.
What does this say?
Hey…
This document says
your status has been revoked.
Revoked?
Does that mean
I'm no longer a slave or something?
That's right.
Yook-chil!
Here…
It's from our lord.
He didn't want to interrupt
your first night together.
He says that it's your wedding gift.
Thanks to you, my status was revoked, too!
-Is that true?
-Yes. This says so.
That's right. Then…
That means
our children can live freely
as members of the middle class.
Thank you, my lord.
Thank you, my lord!
Yook-chil…
Yook-chil.
Well done!
-Gwang-soon.
-Well done!
-Gwang-soon.
-This is great. So great!
Gwang-soon.
Gwang-soon…
Hold on…
My goodness. I can do it. Let me do it.
-Have a nice day.
-Take care.
What? Are you jealous?
No, it's not that.
Let's be honest.
I'm better looking than him.
But why can't I find someone?
Well, it turns out,
every Jack has his Jill.
When the time comes,
you'll find someone, too.
When? In my next life?
Then should we ask Bi-ryeong?
Bi-ryeong!
Hey, Jo-yi. What's up?
-Listen.
-Yes?
Can you read Gu-pal's fortune?
Sure. Is there something
you want to find out?
It's not exactly that.
You know, Lord Yi-eon and Yook-chil
have both found their life partners.
But I'm still alone.
So I was wondering,
if you do that thing you do,
will you be able to find out
when I'll meet mine?
-Is that so?
-Yes.
Then, let's see.
Let's see here.
That's odd. So odd.
Mal-jong is still
not over Pal-soon, I see.
What?
Do you know how cute you are?
Pal-soon, you've always been
the one for me.
Cha Mal-jong?
It won't be easy because Mal-jong
won't let go of Pal-soon.
That bastard…
Oh, you poor thing…
I told you I didn't want to do this!
Gu-pal.
Yes?
-This is why I didn't want to do it.
-Sorry.
Oh, no.
Maybe I shouldn't
have talked him into this.
Jo-yi!
Yes?
It's me. Bo-ri.
I came because I missed you.
Bo-ri?
Yes. It's me.
Gosh. It's so nice to see you doing well.
What about you?
Are you doing well where you are?
Yes.
I even met my baby and my mom.
I was able to meet my baby safe and sound
because you properly sent me off
with the baby clothes.
I see.
I'm glad.
So, Jo-yi,
enjoy your life here
until you're sick of it.
And we can meet again
later. Much later.
Okay?
Goodness. My baby is asking for me.
Do you have to go?
Can't you stay a little longer?
You'll know once you become a mom.
I'm going to leave now, Jo-yi.
My goodness.
How can I possibly leave in peace
if you cry like that? Smile, okay?
Okay.
Go on.
Bye.
What?
Oh, Jo-yi.
Gu-pal will find someone.
Don't worry too much.
Bi-ryeong.
What's the matter?
Have you heard?
I was in Hanyang not too long ago.
And I heard from people there
that the King is quite sick.
I heard that, too.
I heard he ate sweet injeolmi so much
that he's got diabetes.
Oh, dear.
-Your Majesty!
-Your Majesty!
-Call a physician!
-Your Majesty! Hurry up!
Then,
maybe our lives will improve a bit?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Just hurry up and eat your dumpling soup.
It's the worst right now.
It has to get better.
That's right.
Right. You're right.
Can we get some more radish kimchi?
Sure.
-We actually ran out of it.
-I see.
I felt bad, so I brought some dumplings.
Dumplings on the house.
-Oh, you didn't need to.
-Enjoy.
Thank you.
We'll enjoy them.
-Hello. Welcome.
-Hello.
Aren't you Yook-chil?
Gu-pal, is that you?
What are you two…
Oh, so…
Isn't that…
Isn't that Yi-eon?
My lady.
Why would Young Master be in such clothes?
Then again…
I'm sure you're here
because you heard the rumors.
We're also here to try their dumplings.
Yes, that's right.
He just looks so much like him.
That tall fellow over there.
-Isn't that Yi-eon?
-No, ma'am.
Why would he be there doing that?
-That's true.
-Yes.
Yi-eon wouldn't be here doing that.
Then,
where is Yi-eon?
He went to use the outhouse.
He should be back shortly.
-Why don't you have a seat, ma'am?
-All right.
What is Grandmother doing here?
What should I do?
Clothes!
-Here! Hat!
-Hat!
Hold on! Aren't you rushing too much?
Right! Hurry!
What would you like?
I mean, what should we order for you?
Watershield dumplings, seafood dumplings…
-Just order one of each.
-Yes, ma'am.
Give us one of each!
Everything you have!
They're so nice.
Grandmother.
When did you arrive?
You should've come to the house.
I thought I may see you here
because you love dumplings so much,
and I was right.
It's close to our house, you see.
We come here often.
What do you mean?
Then
is that girl named Jo-yi
staying with you as well?
Follow me.
I wasn't just talking to you.
Why don't we talk first?
I saw that pipsqueak
still wear her hair down.
I guess you haven't gotten married.
We are living
happily together, Grandmother.
Exactly!
You two are living together,
so why haven't you gotten married?
What does that little brat
take my grandson for?
Jo-yi needs some time to think as well.
Then again,
cozily shacking up with her
is better than going
on dangerous missions
as an inspector or whatever.
By the way,
do you live alone in this room?
Yes.
Then where is Jo-yi's room?
There's a separate room
for the women over there.
Why you damn fool!
Pardon?
Be careful, Grandmother.
If they're put in the same room,
a baby might be conceived.
Then, they'll have
no choice but to get married.
I will be staying
at your place for a few days.
Pardon?
I'm saying I will be staying in this room,
so you sleep somewhere else.
Grandmother?
What do I do now?
Yook-chil…
Gwang-soon is with him now.
Oh, right. There's that vacant room.
I have no choice
but to go to Gu-pal's room.
Hey, Gu-pal!
-You're still up?
-Hey.
-Are you coming from the outhouse?
-Yes.
Well…
Can I sleep in your room?
-Don't do this.
-Gu-pal!
My grandmother is here.
This is my very first room in 20 years.
Forget it.
Gu-pal!
Gu-pal.
Gu-pal?
Jo-yi.
Are you asleep?
Jo-yi?
Are you asleep?
Don't worry.
I…
promise never to cross this pillow.
Whatever. I'm tired and sleepy.
I'm going to sleep now.
You're not
really sleeping, are you?
Hey!
I'm here right next to you…
How could you sleep?
I…
want to see the stars.
My lord.
I'm really happy right now.
I like you.
I'm happy
that I'm doing what I want to freely.
Having a happy life was my dream.
And my dream has come true.
I'm happy.
I am as well.
The time I'm spending with you here
is precious to me,
and I'm happy that we're able
to share every meal together.
Jo-yi.
Will you
be my companion for the rest of my life?
Yes, my lord.
MOKKOJI
My goodness. I told you
to put things away after using them.
One makes a mess
while the other cleans it up.
Hold on. I'm letting you stay in my room.
How could you say such a thing?
So I clean up more than you do.
By the way, why do you
not wash your feet before bed?
Oh, come on.
I can't live with all your nagging.
If you don't want to hear it,
wash your feet!
Stop that, or get out of my room!
Fine. Do you think I won't?
Take your stuff with you!
Fine!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING

SPECIAL THANKS TO
JO KWAN-WOO AND JO EUN-SOUL
-We'll start.
-Oh, my goodness.
-What are you doing?
-Get ready.
-What the? Is that supposed to be me?
-Yes, it is.
Do I…
One, two…
Get up, my lord.
I'm leaving.
Are you abandoning me?
Yes, I have a late-night snack
waiting for me.
Shall we start?
Hurry. Let's do this.
-Okay.
-Ready.
Yi-eon…
Didn't I wrap her up really well?
-You did that?
-Yes.
I feel very stable.
Come here. You must be cold. Come here.
You hugged me because of this.
-All of a sudden.
-So what?
Maybe we should prepare…
I'm sorry.
They must be tired.
Maybe we should
prepare some food for them? Okay.
I'm not interested at all…
Cut. All right.
This isn't working.
I can't aim it very well.
Look forward. Forward.
-Look forward.
-Okay.
Version Two.
We were perfectly fine sitting down.
Why are we doing this?
-You must be so hot.
-Can someone wipe away Jo-yi's sweat?
Seriously, she has
beads of sweat above her lip.
Don't you need the fan more than I do?
-That is how you help me.
-I told you, you can't!
No, that's too cheesy.
Cheesy. Don't do that.
Cut!
But this is the problem.
The hat straps are the problem.
I need to get going. I'm busy.
Wow, she's really fast.
She was as fast
as she is when she goes home.
I need to get going. I'm busy.
Shouldn't I get closer and tie something?
-Right.
-Right.
Go away.
Leave.
We're supposed to play a game.
-Take a look at this screen.
-Kindly look here.
You look like Jafar.
From Aladdin.
-You're filming this?
-We're filming.
Sorry. It just looked so fun.
-Really?
-Yes.
-So happy!
-So happy!
Yes! So happy!
The hat strap fell.
-Cut!
-Cut!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Isn't that too much?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Yes! I understand! I understand!
Let's go!
I told you to hold it up.
-Wow, so fun.
-Okay.
-Thank you for loving
-Thank you for loving
-Secret Royal Inspector Joy!
