Moonshine (꽃 피면 달 생각하고)

Well done.

For 200 years, the Nam Family lived as scholars with no title.

But the time has come...

for you to finally make our name known.

I only have you to thank for taking me in and raising me, Father.

Could there be a better figure...

to receive the top honor of the state exam?

What you only lack...

is the power and prestige that comes with your family name,

so I will find you a young lady whose family can fill in that void.

That being said, I advise you...

not to associate yourself with those impudent...

and to stay away from questionable places.

Do not forget...

that our family's fate...

is in your hands.

"Self-discipline guides one down the right path."

"If one does not have it,"

"one cannot see,"

"nor hear..."

"Nor hear..."

"Nor hear..."

Come on.

What in the world is she...

I truly welcome you to our home.

I cannot believe the man who came first place...

will be staying at our house.

So this is the hand of the top scholar.

Ro Seo, this is... - Right.

the top scholar's hand.

Why did it have to be this place of all places?

After paying 80 nyang for the horse,

all that we had was 20 nyang.

Please put up with it for a few months.

I thought you needed the money.

That man is a naive scholar from a rural area.

That is why he agreed to pay 20 nyang.

Had it been anyone else,

they would not have wanted to pay that much for that place.

I carefully selected someone naive...

whom you could leech off of.

Hae Soo, come eat.

Come on. I pay three nyang for a month's worth of food.

How could a meal be this shabby?

Goodness.

She made a feast to welcome the top scholar.

A feast?

Young, come sit down.

Goodness.

Why would you sit there?

Then should I eat standing up?

As a woman, how can you eat at the same table with us?

Chun Gae, come eat with us.

Come here. - Yes, my lady.

He and I are of different status.

So how dare we eat at the same table?

Then just starve.

That being said, I advise you...

not to associate yourself with those impudent...

and to stay away from questionable places.

Eat slowly.

Here.

Have some.

Ro Seo, eat up.

It was lonely to eat with just my sister.

Now that we have you two, the house finally feels lively.

Let us get along as if we are family.

We are a family since we eat together.

Do you not agree?

A family?

Chun Gae, eat up.

Thank you, master.

Have some white kimchi.

All right.

Are you the sun?

You are shining.

Were you an inspector?

Yes.

Why is she staring at me like that? It is making me uncomfortable.

Look at these glaring eyes.

What are you doing?

This is the very beast who can recognize a sinner...

and ram its horns into those who are evil.

It is Haechi.

I must go.

Another Haechi on the back?

Of all the positions, why did he have to be an inspector?

I am Young from the Nam family, the new inspector of Saheonbu.

I am here to greet you, Your Royal Highness.

You may raise your head.

Look at this obnoxious chap.

Goodness. Step back!

Did you just use your foot? You dared to use your foot on me?

You...

Why the long face?

You look at me as if we have met before.

That...

That cannot be possible, Your Royal Highness.

I only recently moved to Hanyang,

so how could I have seen you who has been residing in the palace?

I thought you were nothing more than a foolish hillbilly.

But you are smarter than I thought.

I will remember your face and name.

You may leave.

Do not forget that you may die...

if you are not careful with your words.

What?

Your robe has come undone.

"A dragon disguised as fish can get caught."

If a dragon is disguised as a fish,

even a fisherman can catch it.

What did you say?

If it is captured and cooked into a fish stew,

who will be able to tell...

if it is a fish stew or dragon stew?

Fish stew?

Your Royal Highness.

I implore that you will possess dignity...

and follow the formalities.

Is he hinting that he will make me into a stew?

This one looks nice.

Yes.

And...

No, not this.

My lady. You startled me.

Do you sell those herbs and buy alcohol with the money?

Alcohol is expensive.

I will not be getting much for selling...

No. Why?

What is it?

What is the matter, my lady?

Geum.

Would you like to make some money?

Are you crazy?

Did you brew this yourself?

I learned it from my father when I was a child.

How is it?

What is this?

Why?

Why do I feel the warm spring breeze after drinking this?

Why do I taste exotic fruit I have never had in my life after...

Did you really brew this?

Do you think I will be able to make some money with this?

Yes.

No.

Are you out of your mind?

The crackdown on the prohibition is tighter than ever.

You will get in huge trouble, my lady.

It costs 20 pun per glass.

So a single crock will bring in 20 nyang.

I cannot even make ten nyang after working hard for a month,

but this crock will make me 20 nyang.

But still.

If you get caught, you will be exiled.

You cannot do this.

If I sell just one crock a day,

after 10 days, I will make 200 nyang.

After a month,

we will make 600 nyang. - What? 600 nyang?

Did you say 600 nyang?

It will be enough to settle my debt and for you to become a commoner.

Let us do this for just a month.

I will give you half. You can take half no matter what we make.

Half?

The chief royal secretary is looking for you.

Please get on the horse.

My lord.

Hey.

So?

Do you not think the garden is as beautiful as the palace?

This was the garden of my former lord.

Since then, it has been my duty to look after this garden.

You may think trees will grow well on their own if you let them be.

But that just is not the case.

Are any branches getting sick?

Has it overgrown?

Is it getting enough sunlight? You must keep a keen eye on it.

Is that so?

This tree.

The shadows of bigger trees cover up this tree,

so it has not been able to grow well.

Look.

The leaves lost their vitality...

and the branches become dryer by the day.

What do you think I should do with a tree like this?

Cutting away the shadows so that the smaller tree can grow.

The duty of a royal subject is not much different from this.

For the sake of His Majesty and His Royal Highness,

I am more than willing to become these scissors.

Will you do the same?

Today is the 49th day after my late wife's death.

I know we are under prohibition,

but I wanted to use liquor in good quality for her memorial,

hoping that in her next life, she will be born as a noble lady.

My lady, the liquor.

This is one nyang.

Yes, right.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Please buy your baby something good to eat with this.
