The King in Love (왕은 사랑한다)

Give me that medicine. Hurry up.

Hurry up.

I need that medicine. Give me that medicine.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse...

I will call the royal physician.

Minister of Finance.

Minister... Minister of Finance.

Minister of Finance.

I met the King for the first time when I was 11 years old.

Some had told me...

that the Crown Prince from a country called Goryeo had come to visit...

and that he wanted me to be his wife.

- I see. - I was curious, so I spied on him.

He was so tall and scary-looking.

I had a nightmare that night.

- I see. - He came asking for me...

the next year and the next.

My father, the Emperor, refused saying I was too young...

and that he could not send me too far.

Of course.

When I was 15,

I had watched him secretly and was going back to my room...

when I saw someone stand in front of me holding a flower.

- It was a peony. - Was it His Majesty?

Lady San!

I came to Goryeo for the first time when I was 16 years old.

I could not speak the language well, and the people here scared me.

But he was the strangest and the scariest.

After my marriage,

he had become the King.

Do you know why I am telling you...

such a long story?

No, I do not.

After my marriage, I only had one person to lean on.

My son, the Crown Prince.

I live to give the Crown Prince what he needs, wants,

and to save him.

My father had said the same thing.

Even right now, the people on the King's side...

are making fun of the Crown Prince.

They are trying to take him down...

and even kill him if possible.

Kill him?

The Crown Prince needs power.

And for him to gain power, he needs your father's properties.

Will you give them to him?

Something bad has happened.

Father.

Father. Father.

Father, why are you lying down like this?

Father, open your eyes. Father!

Father. Father.

The medicine. Did you take your medicine?

It has to be here somewhere.

- Where is it? - San.

He always carries one on him. Have you not seen his medicine?

Where is it?

Why is it not here?

Father.

Why is your hand so cold?

Father, please answer me.

If you took the medicine, you will wake up soon.

Father.

But why is his face so cold?

His heart has stopped abruptly.

He must have had a chronic disease.

He would not have been in much pain.

Did you not see the white paper his medicine was in?

If he had took the medicine, the paper would be here somewhere.

I will know it when I see it.

It has the words "Cheon Yeol" written on it.

San.

The medicine.

The medicine was there.

Father, wait a moment. I will get your medicine.

San. San.

San, calm down. San!

I found it.

- Stop. - I found his medicine.

- I told you to stop. - He just needs to take this.

San, get a hold of yourself.

But...

why is his medicine here?

What is she talking about?

I was waiting for you.

Master Lin.

You should be out hunting with the King.

Why are you here calling my name?

I will tell you again. I am not your enemy.

I was told Lord Eun was in danger.

Was that fake bait?

How much do you know about Princess Won Sung?

You can guess how dangerous she is.

Prince Gang Yang is here.

The King's eldest son.

The son of your aunt, Princess Jeong Hwa.

The man who...

should have been the Crown Prince.

What is he doing here?

What are you doing?

She was 16...

when Princess Won Sung came to Goryeo...

to marry our King.

This is where I sleep.

You may come whenever you wish.

The first thing Princess Won Sung did...

was name Princess Jeong Hwa a concubine.

My little prince.

Peekaboo.

The following year, after she produced a son,

she became even more cruel.

She made Kublai Khan's grandson cry.

How dare you make the Emperor's own blood cry?

Please do not be angry, Your Highness.

You made my child cry!

Prince Gang Yang is here.

He is staying with me in secret.

I heard he was at a temple.

Temples can be dangerous.

What do you mean?

Whether it be here or there, he is still alive.

We feared for his life.

He should have been Goryeo's Crown Prince.

You can meet him.

Gang Yang.

Gang Yang?

He is not in his right mind.

Give me that.

It is not food.

He was at the temple...

when the Queen sent some cookies.

He had those...

which caused a serious fever.

Since then,

he has been like this.

You are speaking nonsense.

The physician who discovered...

the cookies were poisoned...

was found dead the following day.

The Queen summoned Lord Eun.

To discuss the marriage.

- What marriage? - Between you and Lady San.

I heard your father agreed to it.

Were you...

not aware?

Lord Eun is dead.

I believe the Queen had something to do with it.

- Lord Eun? - Yes, Your Majesty.

She wanted to get her hands on his money...

- Yes. - So she killed him?

I believe so.

And the Crown Prince?

Mother and son are so very close.

I assume they plotted this together.

I brought...

a viper into my own land.

That viper...

spawned another viper.

I let it all happen.

What are you doing?

She dared to slander my name.

- I asked if it was my father's. - Be quiet.

Tell me if it is!

What is it that you are insinuating?

Step aside.

San.

Stop it.

Do not do this.

She just lost her father.

Why must you...

- No! - San.

My father is fine. This pill will...

When I got there, he had already...

I called the royal physician, but it was too late.

Your father...

is gone.

San.

The Queen needs Lord Eun's riches.

She must get her hands on whatever she needs.

You know that.

Master Lin, you cannot enter.

If you do, we must arrest you.

Did the Minister of Finance enter the palace?

- He did earlier today. - Is he still here?

I did not see him leave.

And Lady San?

- Did she enter? - Early this morning.

She went to the Queen's chambers.

Is something going on there?

They are pretty when they run. Even when they stand still.

Especially when they sleep.

- I apologize. - For what?

Master Lin, come with me.

- Why are you here? - Where is Lady San?

Have you forgotten your status?

Where is Lord Eun?

Where is he?

He is dead.
