(This program is a work of imagination...)

(It may include fictitious details and psychological description.)

Magistrate.

Who is it?

Magistrate.

Are you the revengeful ghost...

that kills the magistrates appointed...

in the town every time?

Show yourself right now.

Magistrate.

Magistrate.

Magistrate.

Magistrate.

- Bok Yeon. - Bok Yeon.

- Bok Yeon. - Are you okay?

Guys.

This is it for today.

- What's this? - What?

- Read more. - I want to hear more.

- Quickly. - Read the rest of it.

- Read it. - I want to hear it.

- Please. - Read for us.

I enjoyed the story.

I liked the story.

Here.

I embroidered it myself.

This is a lot for my storytelling.

Thank you for your generosity, Maid Bae.

Do you think people will buy something like this as well?

It's really bad, isn't it?

Since I sell everything at once, they will pay for this too.

Come out quickly, Mi Geum.

I said I want to hear the rest of the story.

Next time. We all should return to our duty.

I am off duty.

You can tell me first.

Why do you want to listen by yourself?

We agreed to hear Duk Im's story together at the agreed time.

I will pay.

Next time when they can listen together.

I said I will pay you a lot.

- What is wrong with her? - You crossed the line.

We are colleagues. What are you doing?

Are you all right, Duk Im?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to throw it at you.

I will read three books for you next time.

I will take this as a deposit.

What? Okay.

You have no pride.

Do you still want to take her money?

Who cares? I am fine as long as I can earn money.

I am 95 yang short of 100 yang now.

Why do you even need 100 yang?

Why do you need such a large sum of money?

I have a story.

What kind of big story is it?

It is a secret.

I'm curious. Tell us about it.

Then how about this?

When I make 100 yang, I will tell my secret...

to the person who paid the last one yang.

If you want to know quickly, pay a lot of money for my stories.

Never mind. I am not curious.

Let us go.

The court ladies are here! Hurry and come!

The court ladies are here!

Hurry up and come.

Oh, no. Hurry up.

Wait.

How did you discipline the children?

My apologies.

I think we can go out now.

- No. - Be quiet.

They must have gone by now.

One from the Sewing Department for the Crown Princess.

One from the Washing and Bathing Department for the King.

One from the Laundry Department for the Crown Prince.

And one who waits closely on the Crown Prince.

Was this the first time you read books for money today?

- Yes, my lady. - Yes, my lady.

Who started this?

- Bring it. - Yes, my lady.

This is a rare item imported by interpreters from the West.

There is an animal...

that bites off liar's hand inside.

If you did not tell lies,

put your hand in to touch the animal.

Open your hands.

I lied about the animal inside.

There is ink inside.

Liars would have not dared to touch it.

So their hands must be clean.

The honest ones would not have to worry.

So their hands must be dirty from the ink.

Except for that girl, cane the others 20 times.

Yes, my lady.

My lady.

The one who started the storytime session...

is me.

I was the storyteller who read books for everyone.

So you lied to me?

- Yes. - Why did you touch the ink then?

Were you not afraid of the animal?

Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds,

but I...

thought you lied to us.

Why?

If animals that bite off liar's hand really existed,

there is no way my hands would still be intact.

I like your answer.

I pick you.

What is your name?

I am Sung Duk Im.

Sung Duk Im.

It is a pass.

It is a pass.

In such a short time,

you have mastered both "Eojesanghun" and "Eojejohun".

I am just impressed.

It is all thanks to you, master.

Your Highness.

I cannot approve your last answer.

Pardon?

I have made a mistake.

A mistake?

I cannot believe it.

Still, that is very amazing.

No, master.

I made a mistake because I did not concentrate.

I ask you to scold me.

I will not leave this place tonight...

and read all night long.

Royal Noble Consort Yeong has passed away.

Royal Noble Consort Yeong has passed away.

Royal Noble Consort Yeong has passed away.

Your Highness.

Royal Noble Consort Yeong has passed away.

Grandmother...

Grandmother.

Are you sure you can do it?

It is better than all of us getting whipped.

Hey. How can you go there alone at this hour?

How can Head Lady Cho order such an errand?

Visit the late Consort Yeong's funeral?

That does not make any sense!

Girls. Do not worry. I can do it.

- Bye. - You will not be able to do it.

Do you know how to get to the secret garden?

I know it so well.

I am lost.

Help me.

Anyone?

I am lost.

Is anyone there?

Young Hee.

Young Hee.

Bok Yeon.

Lady Seo.

Is he still reading?

The King has banned people from mourning.

What else can he do?

I cannot believe the King's decision.

Consort Yeong is still...

the Crown Prince's biological grandmother.

You want to meet Consort Yeong?

I heard she is gravely ill.

San.

I like that you are kind-hearted.

But...

you cannot meet her for personal matters.

I beg you, Grandfather.

Still, she is my grandmother...

Stop it!

If she is your grandmother,

is the prince who died in 1762 your father?

Crown Prince Sado who died as a criminal.

If he is your father,

you must live your whole life as the son of a criminal.

No. No, Grandfather.

I will never beg you again...

to allow me to meet Consort Yeong.

Please forgive me this once.

Who is it?

I am telling you.

I am not afraid of ghosts.

I mean... I mean it.

I am not afraid of...

I am not...

I am not afraid.

Hey.

Hey. Do you know how to get to Consort Yeong's house?

No?

Hey!

You scared me.

- Be careful. - I will.

- Light the way. - What?

Okay.

Be careful. We are here.

A maid out of nowhere?

What if she is a fox in disguise?
