Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (달의 연인 - 보보경심 려)

This drama is a fiction

based on history

I am going to marry the King.

I shall become his bride.

I will...

become a queen.

I do not believe what the King...

hasn't told me.

Can't there be things

he can't bring himself to tell you?

All the clansmen of Goryeo

are plotting to overthrow the King.

He cancelled the move to Seokyung.

Seokyung landowners are outraged.

The Yoo family is uneasy because

the man they mistreated is now King.

Clansmen from Songak...

See?

This is what

the King can't tell you.

All you need is this

small, pretty room to wait in.

If a woman who is happy with

just one room becomes queen...

our future will be lost.

The King will soon

have to step down.

And you're saying...

you can prevent that.

There's one more thing.

The King's wife...

cannot have a scar on her body.

I suggested a way we can coexist.

You can choose to be unhappy or not.

I'm a member of the Hwangbo family

and daughter of King Taejo.

If not me...

who else can protect the King?

She cannot...

become Queen.

What I say...

will happen.

Have you forgotten?

Hae Soo...

tried to avoid marrying our father.

She cut her own wrist.

A woman with a scar...

cannot marry the King.

If you insist, there's only one way.

Give up the throne.

Which will you give up?

The throne?

Or 800?

I won't give up on either.

Others say I must give something up.

I became King to have it all.

Would I...

give up on 800...

because of a scar?

l have...

a scar on my face...

and I still got here.

I'm here because I heard rumours.

The Yoos want separation and..

the ministers want the army and tax.

The clansmen are only retaliating

because we won't move to Seokyung.

The Y00 and Hwangbo families

are up in arms against the King.

That fight will be hard to calm.

That is not what you're here to say.

Stop being so long-winded.

Then I shall give you some advice.

Marry a Hwangbo woman.

Marry Princess Yeon Hwa

and half of your problems

will go away.

That is what we all believe.

My marriage...

is my business alone.

Do you really...

love the court lady people talk of?

You must not...

wish to be King for long.

Watch your tongue!

The Yoos and other powerful clansmen

will all try to tear Goryeo apart.

Will you be the last king of Goryeo?

You exaggerate.

I know how hard King Taejo fought.

He gave up many things...

to protect Goryeo.

Out of respect for that...

I gave up my own son.

Now I offer you my daughter.

Soo wrote that.

She uses a language we don't know

and accomplished much in Damiwon.

She is very special.

You see...

she has no backing...

but too many weaknesses.

I do not care for that.

The crown means nothing.

You know you can only

put it down when you die.

Chae Ryung.

Hello.

Did someone scold you?

l have a good news, so smile.

What good news?

The King said you can remain here.

Did he really?

But...

will Princess Yeon Hwa be Queen?

Why her and not you?

She instructed...

we prepare for a royal wedding.

There's a mistake, isn't there?

Lady Hae.

This room used to be so busy.

Prince Eun loved those wings.

Wow, look at this.

What is this?

Those books

were Prince Y0 and Wook's favourite.

The drawings of the stars.

Prince Jung liked those.

My star is that one.

Which is mine, then?

We can't see it. It's too dark.

Okay, thank you.

Won wanted to learn alchemy.

Baek Ah was always busy drawing.

It passed by in a blink of an eye.

You loved the princes so much.

I know that.- Yes.

I loved them.

That is why I must be blunt.

Give up on marrying the King.

He will not give up.

You must let go first.

I don't want to.

lput up with...

so much and waited for so long.

Because I believed I'd be happy.

If I were to give up like this,

I'd have given up long ago.

Why must I quit if the King won't?

I will hang in there.

What happened to...

the men who used to be here?

Blood flows when

a king feels threatened.

No one knows what will happen.

If your stubbornness ends

with death...

will you not blame yourself?

I saw so many people die.

Only a strong king

can prevent a tragedy.

You can provide comfort to the King

but you can't give him strength.

You cannot be his wife.

Who said you could come in here?

Everyone knows how much you like me.

People might say I'm not scary.

Shall we go off somewhere

before that happens?

Have you forgotten?

It's carnival night.

It's not New Year's Eve.

Carnivals are for special days.

Let's go into town for fun.

Let's go into town.

As in leave the Palace?

It's too sudden.

I need to call my bodyguards and...

No one will recognise you.

Just change your clothes.

No one will know what you look like.

l was talking to Chae Ryung here

when you passed by.

Don't you remember?

This is...

It's not as nice as the original

but it's pretty and still whole.

Doesn't it look like

it will grant any wish?

Did you build it to get a proposal?

Yes, I did.

You said you needed a Wishing Tower

so I had to make one for us.

I should have ran away...

the day we first met.

I tried to and you brought me back.

I forgot why I fell for you.

There are too many reasons.

I need to marry you.

Live with me.
