My Dearest (연인)

(This drama is a work of fiction created based on historical facts.)

(Most of the details and depictions of the characters are fictional.)

Jong Jong, let us do this.

Yes, my lady.

Here we go.

So...

even the woman who is supposed to have 99 tails...

would not be that special.

Is he coming? Is he on the way?

He is coming.

Remember what I said?

It would be dangerous.

You can do it, Jong Jong. You can.

I am counting on you, Jong Jong.

Have you heard of the sound...

- of the marvel of Peru blooming? - What are you doing?

What are you doing then? I was helping you.

Who? Me?

When did I ask you to help me?

What?

Was there anyone who was supposed to receive you?

Of course, I...

You are a lucky man.

What? I am a lucky man?

I am the lucky one? Not you?

You got to talk to me for a long time on the first day we met.

You sure are lucky.

Anyway, I do not know where you rolled in from,

but you can hurry up and get lost.

You have used up all your luck.

Should you not at least thank me for...

I am talking here.

You call that fixed?

I am hugely disappointed, young master.

I said it is not fixed properly yet.

I will get it fixed again.

It would not happen again.

Darn it. You should have done a better job.

Do it right, will you?

- Dae Ho. - Gosh.

She is one loud flower, is she not?

Give it to me.

Flower?

Who is the flower?

Who is the marvel of Peru?

Gosh.

My lady.

They must be talking about something boring again.

Let us get back.

I do not like the socks after all.

What?

There she goes.

- I should go and talk to her. - Wait.

Why does she...

look so down?

She was grouchy just a moment ago.

Right. She looks like...

she wants to get slapped in the face and cry.

- What? - Or maybe it is the opposite.

Maybe she wants to slap someone in the face and make that person cry.

What are you saying?

Do you hear yourself?

Look.

It is me.

Why is he so worked up?

Look.

About that lady who lives here.

There are too many ladies in Neunggun-ri.

There is the lady who acts all conceited thinking that she is pretty.

Right. You mean Lady Gil Chae.

That is her.

Wait. Her name is...

- Gil Chae? - Yes.

Yoo Gil Chae.

Lord Yoo Kyo Yeon's daughter.

She has broken many hearts.

Oh, I see.

I suppose you are one of them.

"Oh, I see?"

Hey, you.

"I see?" What do you see?

He has fallen head over heels for Lady Gil Chae.

Clearly,

even Young Master Jang Hyun could not help but fall for her charms.

Why are you laughing?

Why do you keep giggling like that?

What do you mean I could not help but fall for her?

He took care of what he had to do and returned home.

"Oh, my."

"Let me undress you."

Goodness. That old man.

He has to make me cringe every day, does he not?

- Mind your own business. - What?

- The two of them... - Hey.

Stop sewing and go find out what is going on with my application.

They do not want you.

Must you be so stubborn?

You handed in a blank exam paper. Have you no shame?

You said you were embarrassed of me for not attending school!

Also,

did you not hear what that fox said? Gil Chae or whatever her name is.

She said I rolled in out of nowhere...

and told me to hurry up and get lost.

Then I shall settle down in this village.

You will triple the value of dried persimmons and pay us with rice...

in return for accepting him into our school?

Yes.

Such insolence!

The harvest barn may be empty,

but did you truly think we would take a bribe and accept him?

Well... I apologize.

You have too much rice and do not know what to do with it?

It is not like you can throw away the rice.

I suppose...

we should just accept it.

You made a wise decision.

I must ask you.

Why are you so adamant about joining our school?

If you wish to pass the state exam,

there are more reputable schools.

I have no interest in taking the state exam.

However,

I have a favor to ask of you.

What?

Another one?

What did I say?

I told you that he must have an ulterior motive.

You must know Grandpa Song Chu.

This December marks his 60th wedding anniversary.

I wish to organize a party to celebrate his 60th wedding anniversary.

(Hoehonrye: A 60th wedding anniversary party)

All his life, he farmed on plots of land owned by the school,

so would it be okay if the party took place here?

Oh. Of course,

I understand that only noble families host 60th wedding anniversary parties,

so Grandpa Song Chu should not be allowed to do it, but...

Grandpa Song Chu has been married for 60 years already?

I heard his wife was older than him.

Grandma Yi Rang is older than him?

She looks young.

Did you hear the rumors?

Every night, they still...

Stop! That is utter nonsense.

Is that true?

Anyway,

why would you organize the party for him?

Since he works for us,

we should be the ones organizing it.

It is true that only noble families can host wedding anniversary parties, but...

They say...

courtesy comes from affection.

"Courtesy comes from affection?"

Do you not think that this village is filled with the scent of bamboo?

My goodness!

Were you...

waiting for me?

What?

No. I was at the school, taking care of something...

Do not give me that.

How did you know that I would pass by here?

Look.

What is the matter with you?

I...

was not waiting for you.

I was simply going my way.

I was just walking this path,

looking ahead...

Of course, you were.

That is what every man says.

Goodness. You are using an obvious pickup line...

that On Dal the Idiot probably used a thousand years ago.

In any case...

Please excuse me. I have to go.

"On Dal the Idiot?"

"Pickup line?"

Gosh, I am at a loss for words.

I have been at a loss for words all day!

My lady.

I am sorry to say this,

but women cannot enter the school premises...

Do not be so square.

I can never win with you.

Do not do that.

What you did just now.

If you have feelings for me, do not push them aside.

You smiled at me earlier in the day.

I know very well...

what that smile meant.

Yes.

I could not help but smile at the sight of you.

Who would not smile?

Young Master.

You can have...

any man you want.

However,

I am the only one Lady Eun Ae has.

Geun Sam said this to me in the past.

"You can live without me,"

"but Yak Soon cannot live without me."

Then he dumped me and went to Yak Soon.
