Joseon Survival (조선생존기)

- I couldn't even keep my promise. - That gold medal is nothing!

There is this woman I'm seeing.

Let's take him in my truck!

Seul-ki!

Capture them!

- Is this the wagon you are looking for? - Is someone in there?

- Seul-ki! - Jung-rok.

They say your words are the royal orders and that you act like a hero.

- What did you say? - Seul-ki.

- What's a third-tier gisaeng? - One that sells her body.

- What? - I have to find Seul-ki.

You don't even know the way, so how will you find her?

Hye-Jin!

- Don't think about me day and night, okay? - I cannot think about you day and night?

The gisaeng of this period is like an idol!

The more the functions of this truck is revealed, the more danger we're in.

Venerable Bou is here!

Ka-ik...

Damn it!

What is so special about that red wagon?

Why would the royal forces come to this back-country?

This is a place where the royal forces never come to, no matter

how many times we stole from caravans heading to Hanyang!

Hey. Hey, hey, hey!

Do not worry. He may be the governor, but he will not be able to punish us much.

He sentenced me to death last time...

That is because you beat him up!

These days, there is a blurred line between their jurisdictions.

They just do whatever they want.

Anyways, we are in trouble.

If this is a royal command, we will not be able to get out of it easily.

Where are they?

A Joseon monk and a Ming Dynasty physician.

It is obvious what is going on.

What is obvious?

Can you not tell?

- They are like Romeo and Juliet. - Romeo and Juliet?

They either have to choose love for each other or loyalty for their countries.

They are in a sticky dilemma.

We just need to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Let us go.

It has been a while since they have reunited, so they will have a lot to talk about.

Ka-ik, what happened? Tell me.

What about your injury? Do you have your diabetes medication?

What are you wearing?

And what do you mean by royal command?

How can you hold the royal command?

One question at a time. I'll tell you everything.

How have you been? Are you hurt anywhere?

I was all over the place.

Out of the blue, I went back in time to 500 years ago.

Don't worry anymore. I'm here.

But why did you want to the delivery truck?

I thought it might contain a secret of why we came here or a way to go back.

You thought so, too.

You're going to release Jung-rok, right?

- Jung-rok? - Han Jung-rok, the delivery truck owner.

- Do you two know each other? - Huh?

Oh... we're old friends.

I see.

You mean the former archer?

Why? Are you offended?

No, I was just curious.

Han Jung-rok, come out.

Me?

Hurry.

But...

What about us?

We committed the same crime, so how can he leave while we stay?

- That is wrong! - What about us?

I feel like we're having brunch at Hanok Village.

I'm glad you like it.

- What about you? - I'm happy, too.

I don't think so.

How do I put it? You always seem tense.

Life is a war. That's what life is.

I've never thought life is a war.

You meet people, eat delicious food, and buy pretty clothes.

Things like that.

That's what life is about. Isn't it fun?

That's what I heard the most while growing up with my grandfather.

"You must win in a fight."

"You must win to live. If you lose, you die."

Your grandfather?

My grandfather raised me.

I hardly saw my father.

I see.

What about your mom?

- Mom! Mom! - Ka-ik!

Ka-ik, wait!

Mom! Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Ka-ik! Ka-ik!

Ka-ik.

Jung Ka-ik.

- Ka-ik, are you okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.

I just...

Shouldn't you take your insulin shot?

No, I'm fine.

Amazingly enough, I become at ease when I'm with you.

So I'm your blood sugar regulator.

Yes, you are.

Oh, that's right. I have a meeting in the morning. I forgot about it.

- I'll be back soon, so wait for me. - Okay.

I have brought the prisoner.

- Let him in. - Yes.

I will leave you two alone now.

Oh!

Hye-Jin worried about you a lot.

You look fine though.

Jung-rok, there's something I'm curious about.

Sure, ask away.

Not anyone can become national athletes, you know?

To become a national athlete,

you must have extraordinary efforts, determination,

and pain that only successful people would know.

Yes, that's true.

That's why those successful people have this uncommon aura about them.

Well, yes, I guess the aura makes it obvious that we're national athletes.

No.

- Sorry? - You don't have that kind of aura.

You were once a national athlete, so what's wrong with you now?

Did you...

call me here to pick a fight with me?

- We came to Joseon from 500 years ago. - So?

- We're from a world 500 years later. - And?

Even then and now, I'm up here above the clouds...

while you're down here on the ground.

- So what's your point? - If it wasn't for Hye-Jin, we wouldn't even have met.

So...

what is it that you want to say?

- Know your place. - What?

Who are you to put me in the delivery truck?

If you had just left me, the ambulance would've come, and this wouldn't have happened.

There was no ambulance, so what was I supposed to do?

Do you expect me to just leave a dying person there?

The car that I drive has a special ambulance for me.

An ambulance is sent to me according to my location, how

many airbags burst, and how many people were injured.

When you put me in your truck, the ambulance was already on its way.

- Did you know? - How was I supposed to know that?

That's why you need to stay still!

I will be the one to save us. I will be the one to take us back.

And I will be the one to protect Hye-Jin!

Do you understand?

I'll release you, so get out.

Release the others, too.

You're nosy as hell.

Worry about yourself.

Oh, now I see an aura around you as well.

But it's rather dark and strange.

It's not an aura... but an evil spirit.

An evil spirit.

Hey!

Were you released, too?

We thought you would be getting a beating.

But you look fine.

You should be grateful to me.

Do you know how many businesses I have done with the governor so far?

That is the tie between the governor and me.

He did not understand you, father.

You should at least say thank you!

- That rude brat! - What an ungrateful punk!

My lord! You have received an urgent message!

- My lord! - What is it now? Let me sleep!

You got a message from the palace! There are three bells on it!

- What? Three bells? - Yes, sir!

That means it is very urgent. Is there a war or something?

What is it?

Look here.

Gather all the gisaengs of Myeongwoldang.

"To celebrate the Queen Dowager's birthday,

a grand celebration will be held at the palace.

The ones who will be in charge of the event and the plans of the day...

are the governor of Kaepung

and the officials of the Kaepung government

who will brighten the Queen Dowager's birthday with their perfect preparations."

What does this mean, my lord?

We have been invited to the Queen Dowager's birthday celebration!

What?

My goodness! We will perform at the Queen Dowager's birthday?

That important performance! We will be the ones to do it!

- Did you hear that, girls? - Yes!

- So we are going to Hanyang? - Of course! The palace is in Hanyang, not Kaepung!

Is this a good thing?

Make haste to prepare.

Myeong-ri, gather all the palanquins in the town.

We get to ride a palanquin to Hanyang?

- Of course! It is the Queen Dowager's birthday, after all! - Hurry up and dance.

Yes, sir!

- So we get to ride palanquins? - Seul-ki, it is all thanks to you!

Seul-ki, this is all your doing!

- Oh, come on. - You are the blessing of Myeongwoldang.

How can you look so pleasantly plump like the moon?

Like... the... moon...?

I don't think so...

Here you go.

Kkuck-Jung!

What brings you here?

Myeong-ri asked me to bring some rump meat for jerky.
