The first 200 lines.
Leave Kim Jun alone.
He has to be taught a lesson.
He's done enough damage to the Guard Corps.
My wife and that other girl, the Overlord's woman.
If he deserves death, he should die.
It all comes down to this.
He wants Kim Jun dead.
Yes, he's only human. He can't win forever.
I must find a way, I can't lose him.
Kim Jun, you fool. Do you know how bad things are?
I must save Anshim. I can't lose her.
The Overlord didn't bring her here out of fondness.
I have to help her, she may be waiting for me now.
I have to see her.
Where are you off to?
I can't let things be.
You mean with Anshim?
She has no one now.
She'll be waiting for me, worrying.
Wake up. There's nothing you can do.
She belongs to the Overlord, never forget that.
I was worried what you might do, that's why I'm here.
Yangbaek, you don't understand.
Everything has changed.
What kind of man would I be if I just left her?
Why won't you listen?
She's the Overlord's, part of his household.
You're already way out of line.
You're wrong. What if I explained to the Overlord?
This from the wise and wily Kim Jun?
All right, how would you explain?
"We had a brief romance"?
Or, "Wola has come back to me"?
Yangbaek...
You're not seeing Anshim, you're seeing Wola.
You'll come to your senses in time.
Let's go get a drink.
It can't end this way.
Where is the Overlord?
In his home.
Forget it. Let's get a drink.
I have to see her. Talk to her.
- Look... - Who else?
Who else does she have?
Who else does she have to tell her troubles to?
We're not strangers.
I told you to forget it.
Yangbaek, I have to see her. This can't go on.
Your Grace, how may I help you?
Going somewhere?
To see that Anshim girl?
Do you know the trouble you're in?
Do you know what's going on without your knowledge?
What do you mean?
Your enemies know all about you and Anshim.
It's a perfect excuse, an excuse to kill you.
Who would want me dead?
You've started down the road you're meant to travel.
You can't take Anshim with you.
That's the way to death.
Pardon me, I have somewhere to be.
You fool! You're racing into the fire.
You have a great future. Stop taking risks, please.
I have something to say.
- Nothing I want to hear. - You must!
You're in danger.
I should go.
Kim Jun... Jun...
He can be so naive.
- Chamberlain Choe. - Your Grace.
I know you two are close.
Speak to him as a comrade.
He has many enemies. They're laying traps for him.
People who are committed to his death.
Your Grace?
If he keeps acting like a fool I can't help him.
Talk to him. Tell him what they're planning.
Please.
Your Grace.
What now? Now that I've lost everything?
It's all so wrong.
This love is wrong.
I know that, but still...
His heart is broken over me.
If it were just me, I could die in peace...
It's late. What do you want?
To see you.
The gate wasn't locked. I knew I shouldn't, but here I am.
You shouldn't be here.
People might misunderstand.
Misunderstand?
When my heart is torn in two over you?
Don't talk that way.
You know my situation. I'm the Overlord's concubine.
Not of your own volition.
It was my choice.
For your family.
Either way, what's done is done.
We'll find a way.
How can we?
You should go.
You have to leave. You can't stay here.
I'll leave when I die.
What do you mean?
Don't worry about me. Not anymore.
Just go.
What are you doing? Get out. Now.
I'll find a way. I'll get you out of here.
I swear it.
You have lives to spare?
You think you can just take the Overlord's woman?
Never...
if not for love.
Kim Jun.
The woman I loved has come back to me.
I won't let fate come between us.
Tell me. Do you still love me?
No. Not anymore.
You're lying. It's in your eyes.
Just go. What will people say?
Aren't you scared?
No. I'll never change, not for the whole world.
I won't see you be another man's plaything.
Would you betray the Overlord?
Can you? Would you take me away?
Are you so sure of yourself?
I can't. I'm nothing without him.
I won't betray him. I'll tell him everything, even if it costs me my life.
Everyone knows I belong to the Overlord.
You think that's possible?
To ask him for his own concubine?
It may cost my life.
But it's time I told him.
Just go.
I'll think of the past as a dream.
A lovely dream.
I accept my fate.
I won't have you hurt over me.
Go. Now. Just go.
Anshim.
Anshim...
How much did I drink last night?
My head is killing me.
Ah, that's better. Honey water does the trick.
Will you be going to the Directorate?
Why ask when you know the answer?
Now I know why people turn into lushes.
It's time to eat. Shall we get started?
Sir, it's us.
Oh, my drinking buddies. Come in, come in.
- Sit, sit. - Yes, sir.
- Well? Drinks for my guests. - My lord.
Feeling better?
Drinking every day...
Better?
A drink here, a drink there, how's that for better?
By the way, what we talked about...
What?
About Kim Jun.
That again?
The Taegu rumors are true.
Last night he called on Anshim, even went into her room.
He dares to carry on with the Overlord's concubine?
Next time we can escort the Overlord there...
and catch him in the act.
Once the Overlord finds out...
it's over for Kim Jun.
You're sure?
Absolutely. We have men watching all night.
Kim Jun can't make a move.
This is our chance.
Our chance?
What's between them? There's more to the story.
If asked, one might even say that Kim Jun was first.
My lord.
It's unmanly, using a taboo...
using a woman's tragedy to lay a trap.
- I won't have it. - No, my lord.
The problem is this man, this scum, has dared to mouth off to you.
I don't like him, he needs to be taught a lesson.
But it must be decisive.
He must be exposed, inside-out.
Just leave it to us. He'll learn his lesson, all right.
Won't he, Pak Seungson?
Let's drink on it.
I'm tired of drinking at home. And the courtesan house.
Listen, what do you say to hunting?
Sir?
Hunting?
Mount Mani is full of elk and deer.
We can spend a few days, have a few drinks.
Sounds good. We can use our men as beaters.
Good, good. We'll need lots of men.
Bring all you like. We can share the spoils with the troops.
Yes, sir.
Another drink. Here.
Delicious.
Excellent, you have a great gift.
Where would we be without you?
Not at all. I wish I could do more.
