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.)

Are you okay?

Lady Gil Chae.

Watch out, my dear!

Are you okay?

You are not hurt?

You are bleeding.

By the way, Lady Gil Chae.

Did you just call me...

"my dear?"

Once I swing my club,

the heads of the intruders will rock here,

rock there, and rock back and forth.

We would have to duck from all their flying heads.

- Right? - How sly.

Tell me about it.

I thought he was a coward since he refused to join the army.

What a swindler.

A swindler like him...

grows on me.

I want to be swindled from time to time.

Me too.

In that case,

do you not have Yeon Jun's news after splitting up with them?

Do not worry. I am sure he made it into the fortress safely.

I hope so.

He must be safe.

The intruders must not have expected Joseon to have such a club...

and called me "The Club of Joseon."

I will be called "The Club of Joseon," do you not think?

- As if. - I am telling the truth.

I heard something strange earlier.

Someone called me...

her husband.

Who was that?

Well, I wonder who.

Was it not you?

"Watch out,"

"my dear!"

I think you said that.

My goodness.

You must have heard things out of fear for the intruders.

How strange. I definitely heard it.

Jong Jong.

You heard it, yes?

Well...

Gu Jam.

Did you hear it?

I mean...

Let me ask you, Lady Eun Ae.

- Yes? - Did you hear it?

"Watch out, my dear!"

Yes, I did.

Have you all lost it?

My lady.

Hey.

Why are you so dense as her servant?

Oh, my...

Goodness.

Why did you say that? Why did you...

tell me, "Watch out, my dear?"

Lest I got hurt?

Or were you afraid that I would die?

Wait, that is not the point.

Why exactly did you call me your "dear?"

I see. Deep down, you must have wanted me as your husband.

Me?

Want you?

As my husband?

What utter nonsense.

If I have to marry you,

I would rather shave my head and be a nun...

I am afraid it is a shame.

Did I not tell you previously?

I...

am not interested in marriage.

My motto is, well...

Courting is essential,

marriage is a choice.

Something like that?

Is that why you have lovers all across the country?

Because you can never stop courting?

- I have lovers across the country? - Yes.

It is an open secret.

Did you think I would not know?

No wonder.

Now I see why the Neunggun-ri ladies were so snarky towards me.

Then why...

do you want me...

as your husband?

I did not do it on purpose!

By accident, I...

"By accident?"

I see you finally remember.

You definitely...

called me "dear."

All right?

My lady.

Do not be shy. The fact that you spurted that out...

means that deep down, you must think of me...

as someone worthy to be your husband.

And so,

even though I do not intend to get married,

if you really want me to be your husband...

You must have looked like Young Master Yeon Jun.

That was why I called you "my dear."

Goodness.

I would not have said that to a misogamist.

You thought I was Young Master Yeon Jun?

- Madam Bang Doo. - Okay.

We will be able to sleep warm tonight.

The baby is such a lucky child.

Shall we call him "Dae Bok?"

Dae Bok?

Why is he so beautiful?

He must not take after his mother.

I agree.

What is on your mind?

Young Master Yeon Jun.

You are such a petty man.

I am serious.

I wonder if Young Master Yeon Jun...

is thinking about the two ladies waiting for him.

Or...

is he only thinking about the King?

That just crossed my mind.

In any case,

thank you.

For telling me to flee,

and for saving us today.

I am just grateful, that is all.

Do you really feel grateful?

In that case,

can I...

kiss you this time...

Why, you...

I am not such a serious man.

Serious feelings like your love for Yeon Jun...

are just...

too much for me.

What I truly want...

is your warm lips...

Even if I want to be nice to you,

I utterly cannot.

You are such a lousy, good-for-nothing lowlife.

What a lousy, good-for-nothing lowlife.

I will leave behind a horse and a wagon.

Please carry Madam Bang Doo.

- All right. - Where are you going?

Dae Bok.

Lady Gil Chae is scary, yes?

Here.

I have to continue chasing the enemies.

What about us?

What do you mean?

You can just continue to do what you have been doing.

You even know how to wield a blade now, do you not?

You should not lose such a boon as this.

I never once used this...

My lady,

I am proud of you.

What did I tell you?

You are more trustworthy...

than a bunch of small-boned scholars.

Come to think of it,

you also saved my life.

Thanks to you,

who mistook me for Young Master Yeon Jun,

I was able to avoid the attack.

Quit making fun of me.

Once you cut your wisdom teeth,

I will stop making fun of you.

- Let us go. - Wait.

I am leaving.

I do not care.

I wonder if they were able to get up the mountain.

Jong Jong has a weak body.

You are so mean.

Do not worry. She is stronger than you.

Are they refugees?

They look like they have been starving...

What?

- Have some. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Eat up.

I heard General Jung Se Kyu's royal forces suffered a crushing defeat.

So...

where were you headed?

To His Majesty.

Before that, we are going to attack the intruders...

and offer a trophy head to His Majesty.

(Trophy head: the head of an enemy that has been cut during war)

I heard General Kim Jun Ryong's army...

is camped out on Mount Gwanggyo.

Do you want to join us?

Did I not tell you? I have no interest in saving the King.

By the way,

where are Young Master Soon Yak and the others?

It has not been long since they went to battle.
