Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth (화랑)

What are you doing?

Episode 4

The wound is deep.

Among the many wounds I've received from you, Queen Dowager, this is the least.

Looks like you're much better, to be talking with poison on your tongue.

I thought I trapped you in hell.

After my wife and son were taken, for twelve years,

I've been trapped in hell.

And, are you saying that you will save your

child, but let me get threatened by a sword?

I will teach him the order of the capital.

How rotten, ridiculous and crazy that is!

I'm planning to let him know that.

I see you're still evil.

Apologize.

Do I have to do that?

My wife's life was taken away and my son...

was kicked away to the Cheonin village.

You made me and my daughter live in hell. Is

that still not enough for you? You can't!

You can't do that to us anymore.

You can't take him away from me again.

We will see if I can take him or not eventually.

Come on! Take this man away and lock him up!

Aigoo.

I wish I could throw him away.

Why is he this long?

Shall we start?

Najeong

Hey! Did you really come here just because he asked you to?

It's crazy to come here at this time.

Right. I should have told him to come out first!

I should have sent the message first!

I feel like I got punched in the face. So annoying. Let's go.

What should we do?

You're late.

You're the one who came earlier.

You're bolder than I thought. You have the nerve to come here.

That's what I should be saying.

Make sure you grit your teeth.

You're confident with your fist when your handwriting is terrible?

How dare you point out my handwriting?

Your hand is trembling.

What?

Let's make this short.

You have offended Silla's sacred Najeong, capture the criminals!

Yes!

Go!

- Let go. - Let me go!!

Let go!

Tie them all up!

Tie them!

Who was arrested, where?

What do you mean Najeong? They started a fight at Najeong?

If Queen Dowager decides to kill them, we have nothing to say.

What do you mean kill? How can you say that?

Do you know where Najeong is?

It was where King Park Hyeokgeose ( FOUNDER OF SILLA ) was born. It's a sacred place.

I, Park Young Shil, am trying to become king

because Silla originally belonged to the Park

family. But he dared to have a brawl there?

He is none other than Park Yeong Sil's adopted son?

Without Ban Ryu, the Park family will have no king.

Did you forget why you came here?

Are you really going to end everything here?

It's all because of you!

This poop guy is so annoying.

D-Did you just call me poop?

If you hadn't sent that message, then we wouldn't be in this mess!

What do you mean that message? You're the one...

What is the commotion over here?!

Look here. I want to say something to my father. My father is...

You...

are still clueless, right?

If you enter here alive, you will leave here dead.

Even if you came here dead, you would leave as bones.

Don't be ill-mannered and wait quietly.

The queen dowager is in the middle of wondering what to do with you guys.

Have they always left offenders

to die without a sip of water?

Ah, such a naïve guy.

How are you sleepy and thirsty in the middle of all this?

Let's stop this in this situation, please!

Hey. Hey!

I'll need to wake him up to know what happened to Father.

He'll be okay. Your father.

Where is he is right now?

Did he not get hurt? Where is he right now?

How can I believe you? We haven't heard from him yet.

I heard you interrupted the ceremonial walk and made a scene.

How can I believe that?

I...

I won't allow anyone else to die in my place.

So,

don't cry.

You must be thirsty and you must feel like your legs will fall off.

But the bad news is we haven't even started the torture yet.

As you are here for committing high treason at Sacred Najeong.

You will be killed with a terrible punishment.

This is the queen dowager's final command.

Tie these people to the chairs!

Yes!

We have nothing to say from our mouths.

Please review our foolish children with your magnanimous tolerance.

No way. Is your son amongst those criminals?

I sincerely apologize. I have been an incompetent father.

Please spare their lives.

Even if the queen dowager kills our children, we can't say anything!

I don't understand this. How can they do that in Najeong?

How did the palace guards know?

It was as if they were waiting there for it to happen, isn't it so?

What is this?

It's a message that Ban Ryu received.

Kim Seup's son, Soo Ho, received it too.

- Then does this mean— - Our children were caught in a trap.

What is this?

The queen dowager is determined to make Hwarang, this is why...

This time, we lost.

Let us make Hwarang just as the queen dowager expects.

Gakgan. (PARK YEONG SIL'S TITLE)

Firstly, after we make it, we can make it our own, am I right?

Your great fathers have requested and acquired

a way for you to live.

To avoid torture, you must instead pledge allegiance to become a Hwarang.

All you have to do is sign this and go back home. Simple, right?

Or, experience what the

next step is for yourself.

Excuse me!

So, if we write the oath, can we leave?

That's right.

Ah, you should have told us sooner. I was going to do that anyway.

Here, untie me.

If you are willing to sign, tell me right away.

Untie me too!

Me too!

Untie me as well!

Untie me too!

There is no way you aren't signing the oath just out of fear, right?

Why? You don't want to write the oath?

I want to do it.

It looks like it will be fun.

Then ask them to untie you quickly.

But I'm not going to.

- Why? - Because I...

I am the grandson of Seok Hyun Jae.

Untie him too!

Hyung, what are you doing?

I'm half, so even if I write the oath, I can't become a Hwarang.

But you're telling me that you're not going to be a Hwarang even if you want to?

- Hyung. - You're the Seok family's last True Bone.

And Grandfather wouldn't want you to die here.

Untie me too!

- What do you mean, you can't? - To me...

You gave me full authority over the Hwarang.

I did it so everything worked out the way we wanted.

The arrogant officials who didn't show up during the ceremonial walk

had to lower their tails like this.

I knew you would do it.

But, how come

you are now asking me to accept any new Hwarang uncondtionally without quibbling?

Exactly what kind of noblemen do you have in mind?

Whoever I say, will you be able to accept them?

How about this. Bring the one that you want.

A Hwarang who doesn't question any condition.

Then I will also not question it and just accept it as it is.

What do you think?

Come on!

Please show courtesy as you receive the queen dowager's command.

Ahn Ji Gong's son, Seon Woo,

will be recruited as a Hwarang according to the queen dowager's orders.

After ten days, come to Jowonjeon in Weolseong palace at noon

to attend the Hwarang ceremony.

Now...

- will he be released? - Wait.

Let's go.

Hwarang?

You're becoming a Hwarang. What are they talking about?

I don't want to.

I have no desire to become a Hwarang under Queen Dowager Ji Soo even if I die.

If you act like this is front of Yeong Sil, I will not let you go easily.

Do you still think I'm a fearful, small child?

Hit me as much as you want.

You don't want to become a Hwarang?

You shouldn't have made trouble.

I sincerely apologize. He is very stubborn.

Are you miserable?

That is how power is.

If you cannot wield power, you can't do anything except submit.

What can you do? You have to choose.

Will you wield it?

Don't think this is miserable?

The world is different from what you imagine.

It's much dirtier.

Become a Hwarang!

Go and get power!

I'm going to make your son a Hwarang.

I'm going to raise your son as a dog for my son.

If it's Hwarang, I heard it will be the future of Silla.
