Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (달의 연인 - 보보경심 려)

Scarlet Heart

This drama is a fiction

based on history

Go to Later Jin as an envoy.

See how much they will expand.

That is...

a very dangerous task./- I will...

obey your order.

Will you go willingly?

Would I dare to disobey my King?

I will leave Songak as you wish.

Damiwon is Soo's only home.

Please show mercy to her.

Are you still defending her?

I am unable to abandon her.

I will...

do my duty as an envoy.

Send Hae Soo away.

Pardon?

Send her to a place

where the princes will not

be able to see her.

If he cannot abandon her himself,

I must help him forget her.

She had the eloquence of a queen...

but the stars did not favour her.

Is that luck or misfortune?

The answer is obvious.

She met me and ended up dead.

It's the worst luck.

She left with no regrets or wishes.

She was lucky.

Please believe so.

You must leave Damiwon.

You can't say goodbye to,

nor see, the princes ever again.

Where should I go?

Where should I go...

so that I will never see them again?

How is your broken heart?

Do you feel better?

l'll forget it all one day.

The sooner the better.

The tougher the incident,

the sooner you must get over it.

You should...

forget about me.

Don't say things like that.

Wait for me here until I return.

I will not wait.

This happened because you helped me.

You were so happy

to stay at the Palace.

I still remember that.

You don't want to go but you must.

It's my fault.

You need to...

differentiate friendship and love.

If you care only for one person,

life will become hard.

You're the one...

who will become unhappy around me.

Everyone does.

So I still won't let you go.

With a face like mine,

I can only be a villain.

You fool.

I said I'd ask for permission.

I lied.

l'll borrow this as a lucky charm.

I'll be back soon.

I will not wait.

Even if you risked your life for me,

even if you call me yours,

I can't wait.

I'm scared each time we meet.

I know I love someone else.

Why is it so hard to ignore you?

Wook.

800 is missing.

She isn't in Damiwon.

Do you think...

she was thrown out?

Soo.

800, you can't--

Soo!

One of my trusted ladies

ended up dead.

Was it you?

You wanted her gone anyway.

Comments like that...

make me think you're my own child.

You and l...

will make great partners.

That will never happen.

I just remembered.

My mother was framed for causing

a court lady to miscarry.

She was exiled.

That court lady was Lady Oh.

The one who killed

the King's love...

is you.

You could be thrown out any day.

I will not be your partner.

Watch what you say.

You're an accomplice.

I took the poison too.

Who would doubt me?

One knows the truth

and one helped.

Both are now gone.

YOU are on your own now.

You'd better...

watch how you act.

She is really different.

How can I not like her?

She is a threat.

She's more ambitious than most men.

Stay away from her.

That's part of the fun.

Did you meet your uncle?

He said he'd support me

whenever I need his help.

You will soon become...

the dowager empress.

He never does anything for free.

What does he want?

To move...

the Capital.

One year later

26th year of King Taejo's reign

These clansmen rarely visit us.

Is something going on?

The King released a new decree.

Now any son can inherit the throne.

They want to petition on my behalf.

That's ridiculous.

How have you been?

I heard you abolished the pirates.

Why don't you visit our mother?

She's upset.

I'm doing just fine.

Don't you worry.

Our mother has you.

Where are your manners?

You have changed since you started

spending time with Wook.

I fear that his greed

will be his downfall.

We'll find out soon enough.

That's wrong.

You got it wrong again.

Why did you plunge the sword?

You should curb it.

You always make the same mistake.

You'll just embarrass yourself.

Let's try again./- No.

What?/- I'm not your slave.

Everyone has a limit.

Do you see this?

I'm so tired my lips are chapped.

Do you see this, huh?

The missus cooked for me.

l have to go.

You're married?

Why?

Does that bother you?

Not at all.

It's none of my business.

How long...

have you been married?

Do you have a child?

Let me see.

It's been at least 20 years.

I also have a very smart son.

What?/- She is a missus of sorts.

She's my father's wife.

My mother is waiting for me.

I must go.

How dare you mock me like that.

It's all on you.

You walked into it.

It's good to practise

but don't get hurt.

Okay?

Okay.

When I become a king,

l'll divorce my wives

and marry you.

You're married to

the first vice-premier's daughter.

You wouldn't dare turn against him.

He's from Hubaekje.

I need him until I become king.

After that, he's an obstacle.

I can pinpoint a person's weakness

and you see their darkest side.

We're perfect for each other.

Can't you see it?
