Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny (Wind, Clouds and Rain / Baramgwa Gooreumgwa Bi / 바람과 구름과 비)

Welcome, Habha.

Habha!

Father, what are you doing?

Please... Allow me to live out the rest of my life quietly in peace.

Please, demote my official position, and calm your rage.

Please forgive us, Jangdong Kim-Moons,

Daewongun must back down!

How dare you!

Daewongun has a dark and paranoid soul.

His darkness and paranoia with his new found power,

is the most terrifying thing.

Such a powerful person went out to meet Chun-Jung Choi?

Alright, you promised.

You must return to me, I will be waiting.

I'll be right back, wait for me.

Did Daewongun command you to kill me?

You let Chun-Jung live?

Chun-Jung Choi!

These are lost and innocent citizens.

Who has command you to do this!

Bong-Ryun hasn't returned, I have to wait for her.

I am sorry.

You must live, for our country.

Episode 17

A foreign ship!

Russians cross our boarders,

into the Daedonggang riverside without permission,

and begin trading at their own will.

Now you're saying there are unknown foreign ships coming freely!

They appear to be British...

They've said they would leave as soon as their done trading...

How could you be so stupid!

They're giving you trading excuses,

in truth they are figuring out Joseon's current state, and routes!

Summon the great council!

I must speak with the King.

Yes, father.

Lord Daewonwee has commanded all Western priests to leave immediately.

Yes, I understand, my Lord.

Is he a Chinese priest?

The Queen Gantaek, you say?

Yes, I wish to gather everyone's thoughts and opinions.

Please speak freely.

How long do you plan on leaving the Daejojeon empty?

She's right, it's been more than 3 years since

the new king has been crowned.

Since Lord Guktaegong is busy fixing the Gyeongbokgung Palace,

and searching for Catholics, I will take over the responsibility.

Should I ask the Ministry of Culture to put a stop to marriages,

and ask for a list of worthy wives?

You must hurry.

We cannot leave the Queen's seat empty.

If we do not follow traditions,

it is like spitting in the face of our previous 500 years of ancestors.

What should we do?

The Queen Mother is being very persistent,

she must have secret, hidden intentions

It's obvious.

The Queen Mother must certainly have a loyal person to her,

that she has already chosen in secrecy.

I have also been thinking about the Queen Gantaek.

But there are no worthy families.

If I choose from the Poongyang Jo Family,

They will try to become the next tyrant like Kim-Moons...

If so why don't you choose from a poor fatherless family,

or perhaps an orphan, and make her Queen.

Shush, how dare you! Watch your mouth.

Honestly, my words have some merit.

What do you think, Habha?

I need to get some rest.

How gracious for the head of Wallsong-ru Song-Hwa to join our room.

I will like to introduce our newest girls to our most important customers.

We were just about to leave...

Wait, wait, wait...

Wait, don't be impatient. We still have a lot of business to discuss.

Now, come over here.

Here, here.

Welcome.

Lord Byung-Hak Kim and Heungin-gun have come today.

They say Daewongun is having troubles with the Russian.

Alright.

It's getting late.

Do you wish to stay the night?

Not today I have to return home.

Yes, Lord.

You don't need to come out.

Wild ginsengs! Get your wild ginsengs!

Get your wild ginsengs! Wild ginsengs!

Get your wild ginsengs!

Come here, buy this wild ginseng, huh?

Hey, buy this wild ginseng. Ones that look like this...

See how it looks like a balloon flower? These are the best.

You traitor!

Gu-Chul and I spent a long time in prison,

you didn't visit once and lived a good life?

What are you waiting for, get him off me!

Get off! Hey! You bastard!

Let's go.

You parasite! Hey!

How dare you come here!

I hope you sleep well at night!

Goodness, that bastard!

What are you doing?

Do you work for the Jangdong Kim-Moons?

If so, what're you going to do about it? You little brat!

My name is Pal-Yong. Pal-Yong Yong.

Who standing here can protect the weak?

Brother Yong, let us fix this boat called Joseon,

and save all the citizens aboard this ship.

I, Pal-Yong Yong, will always follow Master.

With everyone gathered here by my side,

I will prepare for a new generation.

How are you doing?

Brother, big brother.

I've got a job for us.

Hey, let's stop, huh?

If it's anything like last time,

won't we be dragged off to the Qing slave ships?

Nobody will work with us as long as Daewongun hates us.

No, I've got something real this time.

Vice minister Seo's housekeeper asked for help with odd jobs.

Really?

Is this the right place?

What could the vice minister need help with at a place like this?

This is strange... I'm sure they asked us to come here.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

I fee like they're going to kill us.

Let's leave, go. No way.

Big brother, big brother, look...

Who are you?

Aren't you Man-Seok Choi?

Call me big brother Man-Seok, you fool!

What are you waiting for? Follow me, now.

Hurry up!

Is he real or a ghost?

I don't know...

Hey, I said follow me!

Yes, yes, sir...

Let's go.

Be careful.

What is this place?

This is where the Western priests lived in secrecy.

Priest Bernoulli and the other priests were all taken away right?

Yes, they were.

Before Priest Bernoulli left, he opened this place for me.

Big brother!

How could this be! What is that!

A second ghost!

You look like the Chun-Jung Choi who died years ago.

I know you all had a hard time.

It's him.

It's really our Master.

You were alive!

Master!

Where were you?

Do you know how hard it was in the prisons?

Thank you for staying alive.

The Ministry of Culture has sent a final list of candidates.

I've already seen it. Look for yourselves.

Woo-Keun Kim, district minister Myeon-Ho Jo,

Sang-Jo Seo, Yongkang district minister, Cho-Hwan Yoo .

Is this everyone?

Yes, it is.

It's not bad.

But are they good?

No, not bad does not mean good.

I wonder how each of these candidates, seem to be families

that the Queen Mother has personal ties with.

This is a huge decision. Do suspect foul play.

Out of them, Myeon-Ho Jo, is known to be selfless and kind.

I personally favor her.

Sure, out of the Poongyang Jo's she could be reputable.

If you disagree, why don't you bring somebody.

Then we should choose between these candidates.

The Yeonggilly(Britain)?

You left for the West?

The Chinese trade boat I got onto,

turned out to be headed to Britain.

When I arrived, the place was full of Westerners.

Thanks to the letter written by Priest Bernoulli,

The Beopguk(French) priests helped me.

I understand we are all people too but,

there were so many strange and interesting things.

Strange and interesting like what?

For example...

A large steel box, racing across a long steel path,

with hundreds of people riding on it.

The people called it a 'train'.

Train?

My Lord contacted me through Qing trading ships,

multiple times.

But I didn't want Lord Daewonwee to find out...

Which is why I acted like I cut ties with everyone.

If that's the case you should have told us!

I was dying off sorrows thinking you betrayed us!

You're so mean.

I apologize.

But...

Where is auntie and the Red Monk? Where are they?

Lord Daewonwee blocked off all of the residence.
