The Last Empress (황후의 품격)

At the final interview,

only one bodyguard will be selected.

The Emperor will personally conduct the final interview.

Everyone, do your best.

Here comes the Emperor!

What are you doing? Put the gun down now.

Mom.

It's okay.

What were you thinking, drawing a gun on the Emperor?

I am not your guard yet.

Thus, I believed it was right for me...

to protect myself and the others from you since you had a gun.

Release him!

But Your Majesty...

If he becomes my guard, he will clearly protect me.

I like your boldness.

What is your name?

It is Chun Woo Bin.

Chun Woo Bin.

I appoint you to be a guard for the Emperor and Empress!

My gosh.

That will be 11 dollars.

Oh no. Oh dear. I don't have any money.

Now? After eating all this?

Well... It smelled so good, I was just drawn in.

I came in and ate, not knowing I didn't have money.

How is your chicken so tasty?

You're a real pro, aren't you?

Don't change the subject, and pay up.

I don't have any.

Can't you think of it as charity for an old homeless woman?

What homeless woman wears designer sunglasses?

I'd better not find money on you.

Where are you touching?

See? I knew it.

How dare you lie when you had money?

Well... - You're shameless.

Give me that. That's my bus fare.

I came up from Gwangju. If I don't have that,

I need to walk to Jeolla-do.

Then walk! Or sell your sunglasses.

This is a knock-off. I have no money for designer goods.

Give me that.

Call the police! - That's enough.

Get over here.

Stop it. Stop. - Let go!

Why you...

Granny.

Here. This is my emergency money. Use it for your bus.

Why are you giving me so much?

You can't make it to Gwangju with only 10 dollars.

Didn't you know that when you came to Seoul?

Why didn't you kick her out yet?

She's leaving now. Go. Stop getting angry.

Eat this on the bus. Get home safely.

My gosh. She is such a nice girl,

but I don't like her sister.

Your Highness, I know you hate Yu Ra,

but I don't know if it's wise to make Sunny the empress.

We'll use her briefly and throw her out anyway. She's perfect.

Her family has nothing and no sense of pride.

I need to clean house now.

Strip her of her uniform.

Your Highness.

She cannot take anything from the Palace.

Kick her out with nothing, just like the way she came.

How dare you...

Your Highness.

Your Highness! I was wrong, Your Highness.

Please... Please forgive me just this one time.

What are you waiting for? Get rid of her.

How dare you?

Get over here! - Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

That poor girl.

That wouldn't have happened if she had left when I told her to.

Yes. I have arrived safely.

I'm going to rest for a few days and then I'll contact...

the publisher directly. - With the Emperor's wedding...

coming up in one week, - Okay.

the fact that the selected future empress...

breaks the conservative custom is being commended.

Since it has been seven years since Empress So Gyun passed away,

Ehwa Palace is at the center of the world's attention.

Why are you getting married again, Your Majesty?

What greater tragedy do you wish to see?

Oh Sunny, the future...

Okay. Put them here.

We should reheat this.

My gosh.

Hey! You can't come out yet!

Go back in.

When can I come out? I'm curious too, Dad.

They say if the groom sees the bride during this ritual, he'll cheat.

We can't have that, so wait.

Be careful so they don't break.

Wait here.

Greetings, sir.

I am Ms. Choi. I was sent from the Palace.

Where's the Emperor?

An urgent matter came up,

so he cannot be in attendance.

He can't come? But he's the star of the ritual.

I've prepared this... - However,

as you can see, we have brought wedding gifts.

I see.

Then who will break the gourd?

Hello!

I'm the princess of the Korean Empire, here in the Emperor's place.

I'm the Emperor's older sister as well.

I see. Hello, Princess.

Who's this?

Ms. Oh. You live here?

It's so very modest.

I've never been to a place like this before. May I take a picture?

You're not here on a tour. Give it a rest, ma'am.

Don't be rude to our in-law.

Where's my head? Princess, why don't we...

get started with the ritual?

1, 2, 3.

The most delicious part...

Here. Since the groom isn't here,

why don't you have it for him?

Wait! You got divorced twice.

No.

I don't want it either!

I can't stand carbs.

Sunny! Come out! Sunny!

Thank you for coming, Your Highness.

As you should be.

I don't usually come to places like this.

That's odd. If my sister is the Empress,

isn't she higher up than a princess?

So why are you talking down to her?

She hasn't gotten married yet.

Plus, I'm the oldest child.

The oldest... - Let's...

set all that aside and open the gifts.

This was created in 1956 for Grace Kelley,

the Princess of Monaco upon her request.

It's the utmost designer bag.

What... How impressive.

These are limited edition shoes designed personally by Gavarini...

from Italy.

Okay.

This is a diamond set, this is a pearl set, and...

all of these...

Were all designed and made by master artisans, so that's enough.

True. They are all such high-end items,

that you wouldn't know even if I explained them.

This is a VIP card compliments of the Imperial Family.

Please use it to make yourselves more refined.

Refined?

As in, please act refined befitting of the Imperial Family's in-laws.

And this...

It's an Imperial Family apartment building being completed next month.

It will be fully furnished. You just have to move in.

You'll give us a place to live as well?

The Imperial Family owns so many residences.

We can't let you live in a place like this.

If the Imperial Family's image is so important,

you should've found someone more suitable.

Why are you taking a poor girl and spending all this money?

What's wrong with you? Stop it.

Of course. We'll make sure we're refined enough for you.

Okay, then. I'll get going now.

I'm suddenly very tired. - This way.

I'm so hot. - This way.

My goodness, I can't believe this! Come here. You two, come here.

Girls, I'm not dreaming, right? This is a miracle! A miracle, I say!

Sunny, how could you marry into the Imperial Family?

Oh, my. You're unbelievable.

If your mother had been still alive, she would've been really happy.

Oh, honey.

But why do I feel like you're being sold off or something?

It disgusts me.

Seriously, that nasty brat.

Be honest and tell us that you're jealous.

Actually, I don't feel so great either.

The Emperor of this country handpicked you.

You have the right to enjoy all of this luxury.

Does it make you that happy that I'm getting married?

Could you live a happy life without me?

You're really not sad about a single thing?

Why would I be sad?

The palace is only five stops away by bus.

Don't forget.

You don't have to worry about me.

I won't.

Dad, I'll have a great marriage.

I'll be respectful to the elders.

And the Emperor will adore me.

You know, I'm very charming. - Of course.

Come here. Come.

You're not just getting married to an ordinary man.

Goodness, look at that.

Sunny, what should we do?

Look at this expensive stuff. How much... Goodness.
