Shine or Go Crazy (빛나거나 미치거나)

[This is a fictional drama based on historical facts.]

[Events depicted might differ from actual events.]

How did it go?

The 5-year chase wasn't fruitless after all.

I found where the 6 assassins stayed in Goryeo 5 years ago.

Where is that?

Seokyungpa , Kim Jong Sik's house.

So it was Seokyungpa .

In 4 days, he will meet with a merchant

to discuss salt trades after the Buddhist ceremony.

This is what we've been waiting for.

We will go after Kim Jong Sik

on the day of the Buddhist ceremony.

Thank you, Gyeong.

Hey, talk with that mouth of yours!

These were ordered by the royal family

so you have to be careful with them.

Please tell my brother that

he needs to take extra care for this Buddhist temple.

What is the occasion that it's so hectic?

They're putting a dot on the Buddha.

Miss, it's too cold.

We need to close the doors to the carriage.

There are no doors.

Then wrap your clothes around tightly.

I'm fine.

I'll take the side road.

Your highness!

Your highness!

Your highness!

It is you.

Why are you freaking out again?

Why did I come here?

Right, you have to go home today.

Madam told me to bring you home today.

Why is she bothering me to come again?

Your highness!

Yool!

Hey, hey, hey!

Is this all you ordered for the royal family?

What's all this doing here?

Since it's the first trade with the royal family, I ordered a lot.

We need to show them we've got everything.

And the King will attend the Buddhist ceremony.

The King will?

Four days is not enough to get everything prepared.

You should've told me earlier.

You did well.

Look at the pretty colors.

What again?

- I saw him today. - Who?

The guy we bagged 5 years ago in Gaebong.

What, where?

Then we should tell Yool right now!

You crazy!

When I saw him today,

he was only holding a sword, and looked homeless.

What will happen if we let her meet him

and she decides to take him in?

He's still homeless?

He seemed like a good guy.

You fool.

Pretend you know nothing.

If you meet him on the streets,

put on your poker face.

Nothing good will come out of being intertwined with him.

He's not right for Yool.

- Poker face. - That's right.

It's been a month since I've last seen you.

It's always been that way.

Don't be so obvious.

The Buddhist ceremony will be held by the royal family.

Even if I don't see you after the ceremony,

you have to attend this time.

Of course I should go.

- Well then. - Well then.

Well then, well then.

What kind of couple are they?

How could they be like that after 5 years together?

Please come again.

We're Chunghae Trading Company.

Yes, these beads are necessary for the busy royal family.

Why should the busy royal family have them?

Yeo Won.

You're the head of the Chunghae Trading Company.

Answer me.

Yes.

The beads, you see...

The beads are not necessary for the royal family

who are not busy.

Paoli, the King of a suffering nation, once asked Buddha.

“A busy man like me can't carry out the deed,”

“so please teach me an easy method.”

Then what did Buddha say?

He said, “If you pray sincerely with the beads,”

“then it'll put your mind at ease,”

“and you will be peaceful and joyful.”

I'm Shin Yool from Chunghae Trading Company.

Did you call me here?

Sit down.

Very well.

I heard you are the assistant to the head.

Did you prepare everything for this event?

I didn't do it by myself,

the whole company did it together.

We've prepared goods from China and India.

So your company prepared the greatest goods together?

Is this what you mean?

How can a trading company be successful with only one person?

Should I inform the Princess?

No.

Just let her know I came by.

I heard your company works not only in China,

but also south of the Han River.

The area south of the Han River is famous for silk and tea.

I'm not interested in ceramics or silk.

Then what goods are you interested in?

I want a person.

What can I do?

We don't have anything other than goods to sell.

Especially not people.

Purchasing goods means paying for them,

but wanting a person means

meeting a person with the same interests.

If that is what you mean,

then our doors will always be open to you.

You're so much like her, but so different.

I didn't know you'd attend.

It was your sister's request.

Is she my sister,

not your wife?

Am I your brother, not your brother-in-law?

It's been 5 years.

Almost everything else has changed.

Why are you still the same?

There must be things that remain the same

when everything else is changing.

The way I see it, you haven't changed at all either.

You're still a lot like Father.

No.

I'm not like him.

Hey.

He'd be disappointed in hearing that.

Aren't you the one who should hate him the most?

No.

I miss him a lot

deep in my heart.

Well then.

Here comes the King!

It's been a long time, sister.

You're still very beautiful.

I'm much obliged that you're here, Your Majesty.

I'm beginning to forget what you look like.

You should visit the palace occasionally.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Then please begin the ceremony.

Your Majesty!

I'm a bit late, Your Majesty.

Didn't you say you couldn't attend today?

Since I'm getting older,

I'm becoming more religious.

Sir.

Since you're here on a special occasion,

you should dot the mole together with the King.

What do you think, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty,

would it be okay if I did it with you?

Oh my.

Does that offend you, Your Majesty?

No way.

Come join me.

Your Majesty.

I have something to ask you.

Do tell.

We need more man power in the west.

And we're also short on finances

to purchase lumber and building materials.

Since I've already promised you a castle in the west,

I'll support you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Now.

Oh my.

I think I'll have to go ahead.

I have a deal with traders for the monopoly of salt.

Please tell Wang Sik Ryeom well.

Let's share the salt monopoly.

That's ridiculous!

It's not a monopoly if you share it.

I'll be off!

He's so greedy.

I found where the 6 assassins stayed in Goryeo five years ago.

Seokyungpa , Kim Jong Sik's house.

Uncle, it's been a long time.

Let's go pay our respects to your father

and drink together today.
