OUR BLOOMING YOUTH

THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION.

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, INCIDENTS, AND RELIGIONS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS WERE CREATED WITH PROPS AND VISUAL EFFECTS.

What is wrong with you?

I had no idea you were taking

decocted atractylodes herbs.

And I also didn't know it would be fatal if it's taken with peaches.

If I had known,

I would never have given them to you.

Mother, it was me.

I gave peaches to Ui-hyeon...

What are you saying?

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

Your Highness, His Majesty is here.

Your Majesty, you're here.

What's wrong? What happened?

Why were you trying to keep him quiet?

It's nothing, Father.

Myeong-ahn hasn't slept well these days

so he must've been seeing things.

Seeing things? What did you see?

He kept seeing a burning plum tree.

You're burning up.

That's why you're seeing things.

It's because you haven't been eating. It wasn't the Song family's curse

that burned the plum tree.

A man should be fierce and strong.

I've heard he's talking nonsense and keeps puking.

What nonsense is he talking?

EPISODE 16

Your Highness.

May I ask who will be living in this house?

It's going to be used as a school.

Place some desks on the second floor,

-Giyeok. -Giyeok.

-Kiyeok. -Kiyeok.

-Digeud. -Digued.

Is the woman who's going to live here Eunuch Go?

Doesn't she have a fiancé?

Does she not go to Section Chief Han?

She says she's going to live alone.

That rude little brat...

Lady.

A marriage is a promise between families.

They've already exchanged letters of marriage

so why won't she go back?

I have feelings for someone else.

I'm in love with someone else

so I can't go to Section Chief Han.

Have you ever seen Sun-dol with another man?

Pardon?

She'll probably meet eunuchs and court ladies every day.

I guess you could count eunuchs as a man.

I mean,

have you ever seen her privately,

consistently, confidentially,

and secretly meet

with another man?

-I have. -Who is he?

Isn't she always with you?

No, not me.

Someone idiotic.

Someone smart, but very slow-witted.

Pardon?

Nevermind.

What does it matter who he is?

Just fix the door.

Keep a close eye on him. He's your little brother.

Yes, Father.

I'll notify the royal physician

and tell them to take good care of him,

so please do not worry too much.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Mother.

Take her back to her quarters. I'll follow you.

No, I should stay with Prince Myeong-ahn.

I should stay with him.

Prince, I need to know the truth

in order to protect you.

Did you really give Prince Ui-hyeon peaches?

Grandfather

gave me peaches.

Grandfather!

Wow! Peaches!

Ui-hyeon, try to guess what's in my sleeves.

What are you hiding in there?

This is yours

and this is mine.

It looks delicious.

The peaches reminded me of you.

Grandfather told me to share them with Ui-hyeon

and he died after eating it.

I heard the eunuchs say

Ui-hyeon died because of the peach.

I was the one who gave Ui-hyeon the peach,

not Hwan.

And he died because of me...

No.

It wasn't your fault.

Stop crying.

You didn't know anything.

You were just running an errand for your grandfather.

Snap out of it and listen to me.

Do not talk about that ever again.

It never happened.

It was a dream. You were dreaming.

You never did such a thing.

Forget it ever happened. You have to forget in order to live.

You have to live for me to live.

Answer me.

Promise me you won't speak of it.

Answer me.

Yes, Mother.

I'm going to visit Hwan.

His Highness isn't here.

He's in the library reading books

and he specifically ordered me not to let anyone in.

Right.

No. Maybe that's better.

Pardon?

Don't tell Hwan that I came by.

Eunuch Go, follow me.

Pardon?

Prince Myeong-ahn said that?

What do you make of it?

You solved the Cardinal Point case

and also helped prove

the Left State Councilor's innocence.

Do you think he was telling the truth?

How could I possibly know?

Only Prince Myeong-ahn will know...

But when Prince Ui-hyeon passed away

Prince Myeong-ahn was seven-years-old.

Even if he did give him peaches, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose.

That's not important.

If people find out, the whole palace will be in chaos

and Prince Myeong-ahn will no longer be safe.

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

You should let His Highness know.

But why did you say it's better that His Highness isn't in his quarters?

He's about to get married.

He was talking nonsense about seeing

a ghost and a snake.

And now he's saying he gave Ui-hyeon peaches.

How can all that be true?

It will just make him worry.

He's seeing ghosts and snakes?

He saw a snake

come out of a shaman.

He's a weak-hearted boy so he must've been really scared.

No. Never mind.

I shouldn't have said that. I'm pretty shocked myself.

Don't tell His Highness.

Forget I said anything.

Yes, Your Highness.

Master...

Scholar...

-Is Master Kim inside? -Yes.

He wrote down everything that happened

and has been staring at it day and night.

-I guess he'll figure it out soon. -What brings you here anyway?

Is that fabric for dresses?

How many dresses can you make with this?

With this, I think

maybe six or seven...

A man usually doesn't know this stuff,

but I saw my mother sew many times

so I'm just guessing based on that.

Then make dresses with these fabrics.

Make five dresses for Min Jae-yi

and two for you.

If you need more fabric, I'll bring you more.

How would I know that murderer Min Jae-yi

and how could I make a man's clothes

with these fabrics for dresses?

-I know you are Jang Ga-ram... -Quiet.

I'm sorry, Scholar Park.

-Then do you.. -Also know Go Sun-dol is Min Jae-yi?

Yes.

Be careful.

Don't go alone. Always stay near Master Kim.

A manhunt has been issued.

But why do you need dresses for Lady Jae-yi?

Once everything's over,

she'll need to go back.

She can't stay in the palace as a eunuch forever.

The same goes for you.

You can't dress as a man forever.

Why are you blocking the way?

You could just go this way.

We always stick to the wall.

Gosh.

He babbled about seeing snakes and ghosts.
