The King in Love (왕은 사랑한다)

Are you...

going to get married?

Well...

- Maybe if anyone asks for my hand. - Will you say yes?

Do not say yes to such a marriage proposal.

Do not do that.

Young Lady San.

How much...

do you know?

I know just about...

- enough. - So what is it that you know?

During the accident seven years ago,

the maid who hurt her face and the lady changed places.

After that, the lady has been hiding her identity...

and living as Master Lee's student. However,

the Chancellor's second son found out the truth, and threatened her.

He told her that he will keep it...

a secret if she gets married to him.

So...

are you going to get married to him?

A member of the royal family has asked me to marry him.

I should be thankful.

Marriage is about making and keeping a promise for the rest of your life.

Are you doing this because you are afraid?

Many people get married without knowing who their husband is.

Compared to that...

The person who treated you badly in the interrogation hall...

and made you bleed was Wang Jeon, was it not?

I do not remember well.

Did it really happen?

You cannot forget something like that.

Look at me, Young Lady San.

I will find a way.

If Han Chun finds out about this,

he would get angry, but we will find a way.

- I... - Yes?

I have a request.

Tell me. I will do anything for you.

For the last seven years,

the only thing I learned properly was drinking,

but I did get taught by Master Lee.

So I know that much.

I should not let others get hurt for my convenience.

That is what makes me a human.

And because I do not let...

such things happen, I am human.

You would not be able to endure this.

- I know. - You would not last a day...

with someone like him...

with a mindset like that.

So just...

let me learn to dance today.

So that...

I would have a memory to cherish for tomorrow.

Please help me do that.

- The alcohol is so bitter. - I know.

Welcome.

Have a drink.

Do you come here too?

Can we speak in private?

Come and sit down. Have a drink first.

Come on, now.

Do let me pour you a drink.

Get out.

Not before you take a drink from me.

A man should never scare a woman.

I will not repeat myself.

I think I know...

what you rushed here to say.

Did you offer to marry the Finance Minister's daughter?

Oh, which lady are you talking about?

The one with the veiled face...

or the one with the fake identity?

Take it back.

You are not surprised. You knew already.

I told you already that she means a lot to me.

- So... - Let us be clear.

Is it you or the Crown Prince?

Whom does she mean a lot to?

I heard this is what the Crown Prince told his father.

"She is my woman."

Did you hear that?

- I did. - You heard that,

and you dare try to claim her by means of blackmail?

I dared to?

Because of you,

I have nothing to drink!

- Jeon. - Do you consider me a brother?

You follow the mongrel Crown Prince,

and gave up your family and nation!

Did you just call the Crown Prince a mongrel?

Why? Will you report me?

Will you report your own brother?

You are the one who is endangering...

our family and nation!

You fool.

Seven years ago.

The bandits who killed the Finance Minister's wife.

You knew them, did you not?

What are you talking about?

Dozens lost their lives there that day.

The Finance Minister's men...

and the bandits, they all died.

Did you happen to kill them all...

- as you were passing by? - Have you lost your mind?

What are you saying?

The reason you went to such lengths to marry into...

Minister Eun's family.

- What is it? - Others might hear you.

How dare you assault your older brother?

- Master Lin. - I am speaking with my brother.

It is none of your business.

I guess the Crown Prince must not know yet.

There would be an uproar by now if he did.

He will find out soon enough.

I will go and tell him everything right away.

Song In, the Assistant Royal Secretary's cousin,

and Wang Jeon, my brother.

I will tell him he must investigate...

what you two are up to.

Without delay.

Have you really...

Minister Eun's daughter, San.

Do you not want to save her?

Are you confessing you tried to kill her?

For the past seven years,

to prevent sending her to Yuan, Minister Eun...

deceived his country.

At the annual selection,

he showed the girl with the scar and kept her close.

What will happen when this comes to light?

That is none of your concern.

She will be taken away immediately.

She avoided being sent to Yuan for seven years.

This year, she will go.

By then, she will have become the daughter of a criminal.

No official will want her even as a concubine.

I assume...

she will become the wife of a soldier on a battlefield...

or be sold as a kisaeng.

That is...

the fate your brother is trying to save her from.

For her sake.

Will you tell the Crown Prince?

Hello, master.

The Crown Prince is bathing.

You may wait inside.

- No. - Pardon?

I will wait here.

Yes, your highness. It will get very cold.

I noticed the Crown Prince...

seemed to like Lady San very much.

If he pretended not to know her real identity out of affection,

that will make him an accomplice.

If he were to break the law...

that his father, the King, passed and every family...

was forced to obey with much shedding of tears...

Say only what you must.

To be honest,

I am waiting for you to tell the Crown Prince everything.

The Crown Prince will be furious,

he will wreak havoc in court,

and he and his father will drift even further apart.

I am hoping that he will lose his footing as Crown Prince.

You have a sly tongue.

Is that how...

you persuaded my brother?

You were our original target.

You were the one we wished to call master.

You are much smarter than your brother,

and would make a much dignified king.

Seven years ago,

the boy we considered to marry Lady San to...

was originally you.

If I were to kill you now,

the world would become a quieter place.

Did you not hear me?

I kept on saying "us" and "we".

It is not just me.

There are others who know about Lady San.

Get over your blind friendship,

and even for one moment,

will you consider Goryeo?

This year again,

dozens of our girls will be sent to Yuan.

In these circumstances,

are you really okay with...

a mongrel king on the throne?

- I thought he had come in. - Who?

- Master Wang. - Lin is here?

He said he would wait outside your door.

This is too early in the morning.

There is a meeting for the Festival of the Eight Vows.

I know.

Everyone must be busy. I should stay out of the way...

3,000 armed soldiers...

will line the square in the palace.

When wine is offered to the king who established Goryeo...

Do not worry.

I will be where I must be.
