Shine or Go Crazy (빛나거나 미치거나)

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

[Events depicted might differ from actual events.]

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Give me a drink.

I want to thank Wang Sik Ryeom

for holding such a grand competition.

And for the nobles who supported it,

I will never forget it.

There is one more person that I won't forget.

Here's the assistant head of Chunghae Trading Company.

Bring her in.

Just because the dragon didn't win today

doesn't mean that the blue sea is safe.

If you don't answer my question,

I will kill you immediately.

I heard you have the great skill to tell fortunes.

Who will be the next King of Goryeo?

Answer me.

Who will be the next King?

The next King

has the family name Wang

and his name will bear the heaven's will.

You dodged that well.

All Goryeo's princes have the family name Wang

and their names mean the sky or the sun.

Any of them could be king.

Tell me the fate of my brother, Wang So.

Please write one word.

Please write one word that you're thinking of.

Then I'll try to figure it out.

Wait, I've changed my mind.

Not Wang So,

but tell me Wang Wook's fate.

Wook.

Write a word.

Tell me.

Is he fated to be the King?

Light, with the two strokes of the character for ‘nothing'

they line up in a straight line.

He has a bright appearance and many envy him,

but his heart carries nothing but air,

so he stands alone.

Did you hear that, Wook?

There's nothing in your fate, nothing.

Wol, you try writing a word too.

Light, with the characters for ‘human' and ‘fire,'

his mind is not easily settled,

so he is swayed easily towards

things that are impossible.

If you have a chance,

I suggest you take a leave.

You wench!

Isn't this so much fun?

Then now it's my turn.

How is it?

Is it my fate to take a leave too?

Or will I be standing in an empty field?

The characters you've chosen, Your Majesty,

signify being the King, of course.

The characters for ‘light' includes ‘human' and ‘fire'

and are raised above.

It means a person who has light above his head.

It also signifies the King's casket.

The three of us wrote the same character.

But how are our fates different?

Brothers who are born on the same day and time

have different fates.

How could you have the same fates

just by writing the same characters, Your Majesty?

You answered that cleverly.

I'll ask you.

Why did you provide the embellishments for free?

What did you want to gain?

I am a merchant.

I provided the embellishments to make profit.

I will sell the ornaments on the princes' embellishments,

and I want to make profit from them.

That isn't true!

You supported this competition

to bring me down from my throne,

and to be one with the next King!

Isn't that your true intention?

That's not true.

Please stop it, Your Majesty.

Just tell them the truth.

I heard you were going to return the profit

made from the competition to the people.

How will you return it to them?

With the profit I make from the princes' embellishments

and their ornaments, I will provide medicine,

and I'll save the sick people.

Of course, in exchange for saving their lives,

I was going to provide the physicians with silver coins.

Your Majesty.

Through this competition, we reinforced our brotherhood,

and the suffering people can get treatment.

I hope that you can end this competition

peacefully.

Now you must end it, Your Majesty.

I will watch over you

to make sure you do as you claim.

Your Majesty.

You were right about the blue sea,

but it wasn't the dragon, it was the tiger.

Think carefully about the hero today.

Was it you

or was it Prince Wang So?

He stayed at Chunghae Trading Company for days

and I heard he worked with the assistant head.

Shouldn't we look further into this issue?

You're exhausted from sudden physical exertion.

If you take it, you'll recover soon.

Don't you regret it?

This is my room.

No one knows that you're here.

Why are you doing this?

We're a married couple.

Do I need a reason?

A married couple.

We only had the wedding ceremony.

But we're not a couple.

Also,

if I don't participate,

Wook will win.

I don't intend to

abandon you just yet.

Won't you regret it?

I've never regretted once in all my life.

Regardless of the reason,

thank you.

I'll hear you say that tonight at our home.

Do you resent me?

No.

Now I won't rely on anyone

or resent anyone.

Now you'll become stronger.

Miss!

Miss, how was it?

Prince Wang Wook won, right?

What did he say afterwards?

Did he propose to you?

I wonder if he's okay.

Why?

Did he get hurt?

Yeah.

He seemed to be struggling a lot.

How badly is he hurt?

I don't know, and it's frustrating.

I'm frustrated, too!

But why didn't he tell me that he was a prince?

Prince Wang Wook?

No.

So So.

He should've told me that he was alright.

I was so worried about him.

So So?

No, he's Prince Wang So.

What are you talking about?

So So is a prince.

He had me fooled, So So did.

Yeah, right.

That idiot?

That poor swordsman?

Oh, my stomach.

Oh, my.

Is it really true?

Yeah.

Prince Wang So, who won the fight of the princes,

is So So.

Why did he lose to Prince Wang So?

I have nothing to say.

How could this be?

How could he lose to the cursed prince?

Is Prince Wang Wook cursed?

This is a scheme!

Sir.

Remember this well.

This is gambling.

You lose everything.

What gambling?

When did you get here?

Did you gamble?

No, I didn't.

You said you lost everything.

Where were you?

I had to organize some goods.

I'll talk to you later.

Where did he go?

He went to gamble.

He lost everything

thanks to Prince Wang So's winning.

You should've stopped him. Did you gamble with him?

I did stop him!

He did it when I wasn't looking!

Gang Myeong.

So So is Prince Wang So.

Can you believe it?

Yeah, right!

How could So So be Prince Wang So?
