The King in Love (왕은 사랑한다)

The families that have been invited...

were five.

- Did you receive the list? - Yes.

You invited Chancellor Wang's daughter.

And I invited one more young lady.

We have a total of seven.

Here, we have seven of the most beautiful...

and gifted young ladies in Goryeo.

Step forward.

Do not hide in the shadows.

The Minister of Finance's only daughter.

Her name...

is San.

Why is this young lady here?

People say this young lady...

has a scar on her face because she was attacked as a child.

However, she met a great doctor, so her scar is completely gone.

As if there was never a scar on your face.

Mother, this is the young lady.

She is engaged to the Chancellor's...

Will you show us your face?

It is your Queen's command.

How did you keep that pretty face hidden all these years?

Did your father tell you to do so?

People are coming up with...

cunning ways to avoid being sent to Yuan as tributes.

Some shave their hair to look like a Buddhist nun.

Some spread a false rumor about a scar on their face.

And some...

force themselves to marry someone.

Dan.

Yes, Your Highness.

Did you hear such rumors?

I did not expect to see you here today.

What did the Crown Prince say when he invited you?

He said...

You are my first.

First what?

Once you find out my secret...

and see what I did...

and will do,

you will probably end up disliking me.

You will never understand.

However,

you are my first.

Never forget that.

I also have...

- something to say. - Say it.

Whatever it is you say,

I will hear you out.

What is that?

Take it.

What is it?

I made it when I made the bracelet I gave you.

And?

It is my mother's keepsake.

It is too big for me, so I wore it like this.

Take it.

I cannot take it. It is too precious.

- Consider it a promissory note. - A promissory note?

One day,

show this when you wish to ask for a favor.

Then I will do anything for you.

Will you really?

- Do you mean that? - Yes.

- Anything? - That is what I said.

- Why? - Leave it, then.

I did not say I did not want it. Let me think.

You must never be so regretful.

There.

Tada.

How do I look? Does it suit me?

You are late.

Who are you?

We met yesterday.

- In the palace. - My goodness.

It is just my luck.

Anyone who is everyone tries to get my attention.

I am here to discuss something.

I know nothing,

and even if I did, I doubt I would want to tell you anything.

Go on your way.

My lady.

Lady San.

I have a carriage waiting for you.

We can talk here.

No.

It is too dark here.

You kept such a pretty face hidden.

What a waste.

Had the King seen you, he would have cherished you.

Do you have a habit of speaking nonsense?

Shall I teach you a lesson?

My wrist hurts.

You just called me, "my lady". What is wrong with you?

Does the Crown Prince know?

- The Crown Prince too? - This will not do.

I should ask him myself.

If he knows a Lady San.

If he kept your secret for you.

And if so, why?

Or should I go to the King first?

I heard Dan was sick. Is she better?

She ate a little porridge this evening.

I shall wear the clothes my mother sent.

I need to please her.

Yes, Your Highness. She will be pleased.

You can relax. I will not send her away.

She cannot go as tribute.

I shall go and see my mother.

I will beg, plead, or whine. Anything it takes to keep her here.

What is it?

It is not about Dan.

Master Wang Lin is with the Queen.

Was he summoned?

He was, and has not yet come out.

What do you mean?

What brings you here, Crown Prince?

I did not call for you.

Did you eat dinner?

What is he doing here?

I asked for his help.

I have a lot to read and check before the envoys leave.

You know how little...

the King cares for such affairs, so...

Lin.

Look at me.

Look into my eyes.

Why are you here?

To beg she not send your sister?

Did she listen? I bet she just insulted you.

You came to the wrong person. You should have come to me.

- It is not about that. - I shall ask.

That is why I am here.

You need not concern yourself.

You do not trust me.

I will ask my mother.

I will plead with her even if it takes me 3 or 4 months.

Then she will listen to me.

You should not do that.

Watch me.

Please stand up.

Lin told me about his brother's wedding.

He told me to stop his own brother's wedding.

You should not get down on your knees in front of anyone.

He told me about it because he thought it could cause me harm.

He thought of me instead of his brother and sister,

and he came to me.

I treated you like a superior...

from the moment you were born.

I treated you like a superior since you were a newborn baby.

"Welcome."

"I will protect you."

I did it because you will become the king one day.

Promise me first.

I raised you with respect.

What are you doing? Stand up.

She told you to stand up.

Please do not send...

Lin's sister to Yuan.

Then I will stand up.

Your Highness.

Your precious friend's...

- sister? - Yes.

Dan.

I already...

took her out of the list.

Lin,

he would only believe me if you told him.

She did.

Dan is going to be fine, Your Highness.

Do you really have to look at my face for a long time?

The woman...

that the Crown Prince has called his looks like this.

Did he say you were his first love?

Do you not like this kind of conversation?

You are dressed like a doctor,

but you act like a kisaeng.

I do not know which one you are,

but you should watch your mouth.

Why?

If you do not like me, will you kill me with your blade?

You have the blade at all times, but you have never killed anyone.

Their eyes look different.

People who have killed before have different eyes.

Do you not have people who talk to you all day?

Or...

do you have to stay quiet all the time?

Was I that talkative?

Tell me about the person who is waiting for me.

He knows you well.

There are not many people in the Capital who know me.

Well, he told me this too.

"If I were from the Wang family,"

"I would not have given Young Lady San to anyone else."

"I would have kept her as my own."

You should go outside.

The person who said this is waiting for you.

- Oh, my. - Oh, my.

The whole family has died.
