There's a lunar eclipse tonight. Let's go into the garden and watch.
Oh, wait. The total lunar eclipse is tonight?
I haven't seen one before.
Neither have I.
Oh, it's starting.
What? - Oh, my!
I thought about it, Mom.
Deung Myung must've arranged a thrilling event.
Why would he do that?
For fun. - Without telling the guard?
He must've sneaked in secretly.
They can't be actual ghosts or psych ward patients.
They waited in the pond for the signal...
and passed out with hypothermia.
Ask him.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Goodness.
Did Mother call?
The toilet's that way.
Do you want coffee?
Do you know her?
Do you know me?
I wish to protect you.
Forever.
Dol Soe.
"Dol Soe?"
Oh, no!
Don't.
Ma'am.
Oh, dear.
What's going on?
She acts like she knows you.
She must have mistaken me for someone else.
Shouldn't we call paramedics?
It's so suspicious.
Is fainting her specialty?
My goodness.
You look beautiful.
How do you feel, my lady?
I feel like crying already.
You should not, not on a great day like this.
I heard your groom was very tall.
He must not be handsome, then.
They say tall men are good for nothing.
That is not always true.
Here he is.
Look at him.
Here he comes. - My goodness.
There he is.
My gosh.
How pretty.
Watch your step.
Slowly. Take your time.
Bride, bow twice.
What? - Darn it.
We cannot see. - We should go.
You must know, but my name is Eon.
You are beautiful.
Earlier, I saw just this much of your face.
I am Eon.
My name is So Jeo. It means "to grow rice."
You have a lovely voice too.
You flatter me.
I mean it.
You have a name that one can never forget.
So Jeo.
Do not tease me.
I am not teasing you.
You can say my name too.
Call me by my name.
A woman should dare not...
Husband and wife are equals.
They say a husband is the sky and the wife is the ground.
The sky exists because the ground does,
and the ground exists because the sky does.
The sky looks at the ground,
and the ground looks at the sky.
They must face each other forever.
That is how I think.
Am I wrong?
You are so accepting.
Also,
since we are married with an extended family,
you should know my parents' names.
I know your father's name.
My mother's family name is Du,
and her given name is Ri An.
I was not aware there was a Du clan.
They originated from Dureung and it is a rare family name.
She has a beautiful name.
"Ri An."
She is just as beautiful and I say that...
not just because she is my mother.
She is kind and generous,
but she has a girly side too.
I will do my best to appease her...
so she is not disappointed.
Thank you.
Let us...
be friends for a hundred years.
We will trust and rely on each other,
and give each other strength.
Of the many people out there, we became husband and wife.
Is that not special?
You must be tired.
Are you?
I did not just read books.
I exercised just as much.
I am as strong as the menservants.
Will you see?
No, I do not wish to know.
You do not wish to know?
I do not know what to do.
Do you think I am rash and frivolous?
No.
Do not worry.
I am an only child,
but I was not spoiled.
I will be...
a reliable husband to you.
I will work on my wisdom and virtue...
so as not to harm your reputation.
I see we get along well already.
The adults will worry if we keep the candle burning for too long.
I will put it out.
Shall I open the window...
and let in the moonlight?
Yes.
It is a beautiful night.
Look.
The moon is right above us.
Do not expect special treatment.
I cannot guarantee that.
All I will remember...
is the So Jeo I see here, right now.
That is embarrassing.
No one can go against time.
My heart has an eye of its own.
Even if your hair turns white,
my heart's eye will remember the face I see tonight.
Do you mean that?
I do.
That is so touching.
You will soon see that...
I am true to my word.
I was told a husband who cares...
what his wife thinks and feels is the best.
Who told you that?
My nanny.
My heart...
is like light from the moon.
It glows subtly?
It is clear, with no worry,
and at ease.
Were you disappointed?
My first impression at the wedding.
You carried yourself well.
That is no praise.
I guess I was ordinary.
It is praise.
Have you ever played a bet?
We cannot go to bed like this.
We will play rock-paper-scissors...
and the loser undresses.
One garment at a time.
Rock-paper-scissors.
Rock-paper-scissors.
Rock-paper-scissors.
Rock-paper-scissors.
I never lose this often.
Wait.
How lovely.
You have delicate hands.
Under the moonlight,
anything looks lovely.
Does my face...
look lovely?
I will touch your hand.
This time...
I won.
My body...
does not feel like mine anymore.
Must I take off the robe myself too?
I do not want to.
Why is there so much love...
in your eyes?
I wonder how many pairs of socks the bride will bring.
You brought ten when you got married.
Clean the desk well too.
Under the furniture too. Even the spots you cannot see.
Yes, my lady.
Oh, my. The room looks so pretty.
My lady.
We still have hours until sunrise.
Wear this.
How could I...
I have done...
nothing for you, my lady.
That is not true.
You have done so much for me.
