My Country: The New Age (My Nation / Naui Nara / 나의 나라)

THIS DRAMA IS A FICTIONAL STORY BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS

SOME ORGANIZATIONS AND CHARACTERS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

In my country,

Bang-won doesn't exist.

And...

you don't either.

You saved me,

and Bang-won chose not to kill me.

I'm sorry, but I'm not grateful for what either of you did.

I'm returning the favor.

Seon-ho.

You see,

I thought I could use the King's power

to change the world.

But I was wrong.

To them,

I was just a sword they could use

and dispose of whenever they wish.

I may not be able to change

their world,

but I can destroy it.

I'm going to kill Bang-won.

Bang-gan too.

The King

and the former King as well.

You'd better stop intervening.

This is the last thing I can do for you,

and it's also the last warning.

But I will

save you.

Everything is ready.

Tae-ryeong.

I am about to go hunting,

but why is it that I feel so anxious?

Prince Hoean

will relentlessly try to kill Your Highness.

It is a fight that you cannot avoid.

It cannot be avoided?

I suppose I am doing this

because it can't be avoided.

Hwi is late.

He'll come.

I know he will.

By the way, why did the prince change the ambush location?

Did Bang-gan figure it out?

There must've been some unexpected changes.

Chi-do.

You see, I really can't forgive that man.

I'm talking about Yi Seong-gye.

He's taking it all out on us

because he can't kill his son.

He destroyed Ihwaru and whacked the private soldiers. He went apeshit.

From our Liaodong days to until now, nothing has changed.

Actually,

things will never change.

The ambush location has been changed to Majeong-dong.

We'll change our plan as well.

We'll wipe Bang-won's soldiers lying in ambush

and strike at Bang-won immediately.

You have my permission

to kill them all.

What's happening?

What are you doing? Snap out of it!

Mun-bok!

God damn it.

The well-sharpened sword pierced through my chest armor.

-Mun-bok. -You've got to run.

-Don't say anything. -Are you deaf?

I said, you've got to run.

Shut it!

Chase them!

Don't let any of them escape alive.

You're here.

I have to say, you're bringing

a lot of soldiers for a mere pheasant hunt.

You should know better as you've been hunting for years.

You may catch a tiger

even when you go on a pheasant hunt.

Who knows?

We might catch a white tiger.

To catch a tiger, you need to corner it,

distract it with dogs,

immobilize it with an arrow,

and pierce through its neck with a spear.

But I don't see any spears.

Well, you're wrong.

To catch a tiger, you first need

to feed it some dogs and even humans.

You need to fill it up before you catch it.

You never disappoint me, Bang-gan.

Let's get going. Let's go!

Hang in there.

Mun-bok, stay with me!

Gosh, I would've worn five chest armors had I known this would happen.

Goodness.

You're bleeding a lot.

This helps stop bleeding. Put some on right away.

No, I'm okay. My stab wound isn't deep.

Bullshit. You're not okay.

-Come on. Put some on now. -Mun-bok!

I can't die,

so don't worry about me.

I can't die because of my adorable children

and beautiful wife.

Chi-do, why can't I stop crying?

Seon-ho went to where the prince is.

I'll go bring the royal guards who are on standby.

Take good care of Mun-bok.

Hwi.

Who are you trying to save?

Bang-won or Seon-ho?

I'll save both of them.

I'm suddenly reminded of what our swordsmanship teacher, Seo Geom, said.

"Utilize an ambush for the most efficient battle.

A raid comes in second.

The last resort would be an all-out battle."

I'm surprised you still remember that.

I admired him very much, you know.

I'm just realizing that I haven't seen Hwi.

He uses the exact same sword techniques.

He is Seo Geom's son, isn't he?

Aren't they the Jurchens?

Shouldn't they be in the Northeastern Township?

What are they doing in Gaegyeong?

Don't you think it's strange?

They can go anywhere they wish with their two legs.

What's strange about it?

That man.

Isn't he one of your soldiers?

Bang-won.

Goodbye.

Don't you dare step in!

Drop your sword.

You left me with no choice but to unsheathe my sword.

If you ascend the throne,

will our elder brothers be safe?

They will be.

Who'd believe that?

Then let me ask you.

If you ascend the throne,

will I be safe?

Answer the question even if you must lie.

If I become King,

your neck will be on the chopping block before anyone else's.

Then,

bring it on.

You want a sword fight with me?

You could barely pick up a wooden sword

when I was already fighting with my real sword.

You never got to see what I've learned

since picking up my first real sword.

Let's see it, then.

You're trying to buy time, aren't you?

But you know what?

I think your time's up.

Kill

all of them.

Inspector Nam, that bastard.

You're alive. I'm impressed.

I owe it all to you.

I had no reason left to live,

but you gave me a reason to survive.

Do you know why I spared your life?

To mock and trample all over the child of a lowly concubine.

Am I wrong?

No, because you're like me.

Also,

because you're Hwi's friend.

Now, here's what you get for sparing my life.

Do you know what our difference is?

Stop with the bullshit.

You only look at me,

while I look at the entire picture including you.

That is why you can't beat me.

Chase those traitors!

I'll catch them.

Come at me.

Save Seon-ho first.

There's a cave at the bottom of the cliff in Mount Bukak.

Take him there.

How could I trust you?

I've been friends with him for longer than you have. Trust me.

This man here is a criminal who orchestrated a coup.

Double-tie him to a horse

and make him walk barefoot.

If anyone spits on him, let them.

And if anyone tries to help him,

kill them on the spot.

One more thing.

You should hold my hand and wail on the streets.

That way, the people will be moved by your tears.

Your wound is deep.

How did it go?

I lost him.

Are you sure you didn't let him flee?

Seon-ho will return to me.

And when he does, I will slay him without any hesitation.

What will you do?

I will protect my friend.

So you will try to stop me?
