The King 2 Hearts (더킹 투하츠)

Episode 7

How embarrassing...

Jae Kang, it's...

Please sit.

Ok.

Do you like Jae Ha?

Thank you, Ms. Kim Hang Ah.

And I'm very sorry.

You must have gone through a lot because of him.

No, it's okay.

If you get engaged, it will get harder.

We don't know enough about each other, but we presume we do.

People will judge and attack you. Will you be okay?

How about if I share some of that burden until we get used to it?

Until Jae Ha comes to his senses, I'll protect you.

I'm the king. I'm pretty powerful.

I will be the right shield for you.

Am I good enough?

It's good because it's you.

Please tell me. Do you like my daughter?

Do you like her or are you just having fun?

Ummm...

We drank too much.

So when South Korean royalty drink, everything gets loosened up?

No, that's not what I meant.

As you saw, this is mutual.

Mutual?

I already know how my daughter feels.

And you, Prince Lee Jae Ha, do you like my daughter or not?

I see. I will report this.

The South Korean prince got drunk and with his animal instinct,

belittled the North Korean reputation.

No, it's not that.

The royal family has announced the engagement of,

Prince Lee Jae Ha and North Korean Kim Hang Ah.

A month after the engagement talk began,

it was announced that Ms. Kim Hang Ah will enter the palace and remain in the South.

This will be great for the economy. There'll be much profit in tourism as well as food and beverage.

When looking at the South-North relationship, this looks like it will be hard.

After coming here with a special Visa, Ms. Kim will go through 3 months of training in the royal palace.

She will be the first Korean to hold a dual citizenship, and willl be engaged to Prince Lee Jae Ha.

Meanwhile, the citizens show mixed reactions to the historical North-South engagement.

Both Prince Lee Jae Ha and Ms. Kim Hang Ah were born in the year of the pig.

They are a very good match.

The girl is bad news.

There's fire all around her.

She will not only burn herself, she will burn down everything around her.

The man must help, but he's got no ability.

The two should never be together.

It's time for your departure.

Your daughter is inside. You should go and say goodbye.

Why are you doing this? Please stand up.

Your highness, I don't know the ways of the South Koreans.

I don't know if this is the proper way.

This isn't the age of the Cho Sun. You don't have to...

Once you get to know her, my daughter is someone you can sympathize with.

Her mother died as soon as she was born, and she never received her love.

She set the table at meal times and cleaned around the house.

She was charming and loving. She was my daughter, my son.

She was my everything.

I'm not taking sides. She'll learn your ways quickly.

Whatever you do, follow the ways of the South Koreans.

From now on, you're a South Korean.

I'm sorry, Father.

Father...

Congratulations to Prince Lee Jae Ha and Ms. Kim Hang Ah.

Prince, we hear you are getting engaged. We wish...

Your highness, everyone is gathered.

How is the food?

It's delicious.

Mother, doesn't the rice have a nice scent?

It was special rice sent from the North.

Oh, it has a delicious scent.

But they shouldn't have. They don't even have money.

Mom...

That's right. We know your financial situation.

Did they receive the 100 refrigerators that we sent?

I'm sure that's the only thing that's noticeable in the house.

Sparkle, sparkle...

Fine, I got it. Stop kicking me.

I know your last name is Kim. What line of Kim are you?

Mother, they don't have family name lines in North Korea.

Oh right, I guess that's possible.

You really don't have one?

But we still hold ceremonies for our ancestors.

We just feel there's too much prejudice in looking at family lines.

I see. It's bad to be prejudiced about your lineage.

But we don't have exercises like "Early Morning Star Watching" or anything like that.

I heard of them for the first time when I came here.

Exercise and forced labor... Isn't that the same thing over there?

Mom, isn't she scary?

No, she's not scary. I wouldn't be scared of my daughter-in-law.

Mom, she's really silly.

Mom really likes girls like that.

Mother, I really like your impression.

You have great complexion,

and you have such a stingy heart.

What did you just say? Stingy?

Why is my mom stingy?

She's outgoing and optimistic...

Oh, I see. It must be a North Korean expression.

You see mom? She's really silly.

She's someone that will be my daughter-in-law.

How can she laugh at her mistake?

Can't you imagine how lonely she is here? We must be extra good to her.

I'm sorry. I'll send her somewhere else.

Where is Ms. Kim Hang Ah?

Then the fee that I will receive, will come in here?

It's not really a fee. It's more of a wage.

When you get a job, your pay will go into your account.

Why do that?

You can leave the money in a safe or underneath an iron board.

Is it because someone might steal it?

There is an issue of safety, but if you use a bank account,

you can get a good interest rate and tax benefits.

We take care of the Royal Family finances in hopes of expanding the money.

Expand the money?

It's just an expression. You receive interest.

What is interest?

What you receive in return for lending money.

For example, if you put in the money at 5% interest rate...

What kind of paper is that?

This is a cashier's check.

Cashier's check?

-10,000 won. -Yes. I've seen that before.

And this is 50,000 won. This bill hasn't been around for long.

-Who's that lady there? -Shin Saim Dang.

Ah, I know who she is.

She's the mother of Yul Gok who criticized the feudal system.

And what's this?

Cashier's check?

You are working hard.

Please sit.

It's like you are in 3rd year of high school.

What's that?

Means you are studying hard.

It must be hard because the North-South are so different.

Yes, but I'll try my bloody best.

One way to overcome your mistake is not to talk.

This is a place that receives a lot of people's attention.

Until you know everything, you should stay quiet...

You mean not say anything?

No, I'm just saying you should be careful.

Why are you taking it that way?

Am I asking too much?

No, I just... I don't even know what's right and what's wrong.

I'm not sure what I can say, and what I can't say.

I'm saying that you shouldn't say anything if you feel you're going to make a mistake.

Fine. Talk if you want.

Cheers.

One more bottle, please.

Instead of soju, we'll get more soup.

Why? Why?

I'm sorry. I'm gonna go home. I'll call you when I'm home.

-Fine. Bye. -Bye.

Let's go.

You know there's a castle nearby?

I'll meet you there. Start when I count to 3.

1..2..

How can you start at 2. That's cheating.

I lost. Wait...

1..2..3... 1..2..3...

You know there's a shooting star tonight. We should look at it together.

Come up.

Hurry.

Oh... It's falling.

-Quick, make a wish. -That's all superstition. Nothing will...

You don't think I know. Just pretend.

What did you wish for? World peace? Nation's security?

Really?

You wished for that?

I thought that only happened in comedies.

I guess there really are people like that.

-What's so funny? -It's just a bit corny.

What did you wish for?

I want my secret album to be a big hit.

I see. You are a singer.

But I'm a soldier.

Is it so strange that a soldier would wish for the nation's security?

Why is it ok for a singer, but not for a soldier?

Still, you should've wished for a promotion or something. It's a little fake.

Why is it fake for a soldier to wish for national security?

To you, we must seem like fools. Stupid and simple-minded.

In the military academy, people told me not to work in the palace.

Why? Because people would laugh.

I'm fine with that now. I'm used to it.

I may be a fool, but I work to keep this nation safe and secure.

Your drinking and singing is possible because of that.

You benefit from our hard work. So why?

Why do you look down on us?

Do you want me to sing for you?

No, I'm not laughing at you or making fun of you.

I really feel bad. I don't think it's enough just to say sorry.

I never sang this to anyone, not even to our members.

It's my first time.

-Ok? -Ok.

We started out as friends.

As I started to hold your heart inside my own.

I believed that the butterflies in my stomache would turn into fate.

I was childish. It was my first love.
