Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (달의 연인 - 보보경심 려)

Your Highness...

Look at me.

Look at me properly.

Your eyes...

That look in your eyes...

I hate it like crazy.

So don't ever look at me like that again.

How did I look at you?

I've never looked at you in a different way, Your Highness.

You feel sorry for me. You pity me!

Did you think I would be grateful for it?

Do you know what if feels like to get charity from someone like you?

Stay out of my sight.

Next time... I don't know what I'll do.

I'm sorry I could not stop it.

Eun also regrets it a lot, so please don't be angry.

I noticed you did not look at me.

What?

Why did you close your eyes instead of taking a good look at me?

I thought you wouldn't like it.

Have I offended you?

It really is true that a person's feelings are the most complicated.

I feel upset with one person for seeing and upset with another for not seeing.

I can't figure out my feelings either.

Always look straight at me, no matter what.

I would like it if you did.

Yes.

About Hae Soo...

I think she was manipulated by Yo.

Do not bring that up.

I don't want to hear it.

I see you've become a Damiwon lady already.

It is all thanks to you, Your Majesty.

I assume you're still getting along well with the princes.

I am unable to meet them as often as before.

I see you are still intelligent.

You know your place.

It is time to brush the king's hair.

Queen Yoo has arrived.

I will do it.

You want to use this measly wooden hairpin for the king?

The drought is severe. I told her to keep my clothing simple.

This is moxa tea.

Thank you.

This is white tea.

Thank you.

Oh! This is pear juice.

It's my very favorite, Soo.

Mine is green tea.

You must have prepared our favorites on purpose.

If you are enjoying your drinks, there is nothing more I want.

- This is fresh leaf tea. - Take it away.

This is not the time for tea.

- Pardon me? - There is a drought. Tea?

The 4th Prince is right.

There has been a drought since last winter.

The people of this country are crying out to the heavens.

We must live simply and show restraint.

Are you sure you looked into the favor I asked of you?

I did.

The 4th Prince's favorite drink is fresh leaf tea.

His favorite snack is oil and honey pastry.

- Are you sure? - I told you that I am.

You didn't want it to be obvious, so I even found out everyone's favorites.

Gosh, then why isn't he even touching it?

I'm illiterate and I studied so hard to do all of this.

Ask my brother yourself then.

Ask him what you need to do in order for him to get over his anger.

I need him to look at me in order to ask him.

He seems to have made up with the others.

- Why is he acting that way to me? - That is true.

He forgave our 10th brother right away.

You don't think that So and you...

Yes, I will do as you ask.

What? You're leaving already?

What... what are you doing?

How are you so pretty even when you are glaring at me?

Are you insane?

This is your punishment for being unable to appease my fourth brother.

Well, Soo.

I will see you again, all right?

Oh! Go on.

He is trying to kill me.

His Highness went too far with his jokes, don't you think?

Oh my!

Oh dear. I'm so sorry about that.

What's going on here?

"Newly Revised Tang Edition."

It's a medical book on the use of over 100 medicines.

"Supplement to Materia Medica."

It is a book about many medicinal plants by Chen Cang Qi from the Tang Dynasty.

I already read it all.

Really?

Then, I'd better give you more books.

Think about what you did wrong for four hours.

It is all your fault.

What?

A mere court lady being close to princes is what is causing all of these problems.

Do not ever talk to the princes or even look their way.

Then you will not suffer like this.

I have known the princes since even before I entered the palace.

I have not been flirting with or seducing them like the others imagine.

You are mistaken if you think you cannot cut off relationships.

Look at the wound on your arm.

You ended your relationship to the king with one cut.

I refuse to see the Damiwon in disarray because of you.

Stay away from the princes.

Yes.

By the way, why is it that you only eat porridge, Court Lady Oh?

I have never seen you eat a proper meal.

If I consume foods with too much flavor

it is difficult to discern the tea flavor.

Hold it up straight!

There's no food because of the drought.

There's nothing to do for fun!

Oh! You scared me.

Aren't you the bear fur girl?

Why are you here again?

I... I... I...

I...

- So, I... - What, what, what?

Do you know if there's anything to do for fun?

When will the sparrow come?

When is it going to come?

Forget this! How long do I have to wait...

I caught it. I caught it!

Did you see that? I caught it.

Then, are we going to cook this and eat it?

How many more should we catch?

Murderer!

How could you break the neck of that cute, little thing?

You still call yourself a person?

Did he want to eat it alive?

Hey.

It's burning.

It's all burning.

What kind of a man can't even catch a bird?

What use is he?

I can catch them.

Then how will he protect his wife and children?

I can protect us.

Gosh.

I don't suppose you want to change your mind, do you?

I have only one path.

Gosh... what!

Hey! Do you think I taught you how to fight so you could attack me over a boy?

Why, you! All right, fine then.

Do whatever you want.

We will hold a rain ritual.

You should all stay out of the Damiwon for now.

"Yok Hyul."

"Yok" as in "washing" and "Hyul" as in "hole."

Your Highness.

Soo.

How could I have forgotten this place?

Chae Ryung told me about it.

I told her I was frustrated because I could not see you.

How did a place like this even come to exist?

Though, I am very lucky it exists.

You could be outside the palace if you left this place.

Don't you want to leave?

I suppose so.

All I need to do is take a few steps.

I miss Chae Ryung and I want to go to the market.

I want to visit Myung Hee too.

The 4th Prince told me something when I first entered the palace.

No matter where I run, I'll be in the palm of the king's hand.

There is nowhere in Goryeo I can escape the eyes of the king.

Yes.

There is no place his power cannot reach.

Damiwon is a place that suits me well.

Until the time comes for me to be allowed to leave the palace officially

I will work hard and live well.

Until then...

can you not forget me?

Soon, there will be a large rain ritual.

If there is rain after the ritual, the king will grant favors to celebrate.

He will pardon a criminal or allow a royal marriage.

Or hold a feast for an elder.

Also...

he allows a court lady to leave her service.

I see.

What?

Leave service?

If the rain falls, I will request that you leave the palace.

Then I can go back to your home again, Your Highness?

When you do...

I'll find all the medicinal herbs in Songak

and buy what you need to make soap.

I will fill the house with them.

Chae Ryung and Princess Yeon Hwa will complain so much.

I wish it would rain.

It has to.

Yes.

It has to.

You must never scratch them and remember not to use cold water.

I am off to catch groups of thieves that have appeared since the drought.

- Would I have water to wash? - Oh...

Lady Soo, I'm sure you know.

Shh, you must keep quiet.
