Joseon Survival (조선생존기)

- Deul Ko! - You stealing bastard!

Please!

A band of thieves without any rules...

is the same as a band of beggars fighting on the streets.

We have rules.

Our laws are stricter than the government office's laws.

- And you broke them! - Wang Chi, please give me one chance!

I have...

a sick child at home!

- Please spare my life just this once! - I do not need your excuses!

The law is the law.

- Chul Myun Pi. - Yes, Wang Chi!

- Kill him. - Yes, sir!

Chul Myun Pi, do not do this! Wang Chi, please!

Please spare my life!

Hold on!

What do you think you're doing?

He said he has sick kids at home!

You should give him the appropriate punishment, not cut his head off!

Hey, are you okay? Get up.

You are becoming more annoying by the day.

Do you need a beating to come to your senses?

You bastard.

Damn you!

Let go!

Enough!

I need to talk to you.

Are you okay?

You punk! You dare humiliate me in front of my men?

I didn't humiliate you! I just stopped you from killing someone!

We are thieves! We have our own rules!

If those rules are broken, we cannot survive!

Who are you to meddle in our affairs and tell us what to do?

You were about to kill him without hearing him out!

What do you expect me to do?

Do you have a death wish? Do you want to die?

- You bastard! - Enough! Stop it!

Damn it.

Jung-rok.

Hye-Jin.

We are thieves with deep roots.

When we steal something, we decide how much the

leader gets and how much the other men get.

When a man gets hurt or dies during robbery,

we give his family a share of the money as well.

You say you're thieves with deep roots, but is this how you handle your matters?

Kal Kal stole goods we robbed together.

That can never happen in a band of thieves.

If you break that rule...

you deserve death.

Otherwise, we cannot maintain the band of thieves!

We cannot trust each other!

- Still, how can you just kill someone? - That's exactly what I'm saying.

You should've asked the opinions of the others.

How could you just kill him right away?

There is no point in asking them!

Then at least try it.

Ask the others if they want him to be put to death.

If you truly are thieves with deep roots, that is...

Do not hesitate to tell me what you think.

How should we punish Kal Kal?

Tell me your opinions.

It is obvious we should kill him!

He stole to survive on his own.

How can we save someone who stole from us?

Anyone else?

No one?

Say something, please.

- Wang Chi. - What?

Kal Kal's child is very sick. His medicine is costly.

Hey, everyone has a situation.

How can we keep this band of thieves going if we make a sacrifice for everyone?

Rules may be important, but there is nothing more important than a human's life.

Does anyone else have anything to say?

No one is saying anything.

Who would dare share their opinions when they will face repercussions?

All right. Fine.

If you cannot speak...

let us raise our hands.

Who thinks we should let Kal Kal off the hook?

How can there be so many saints?

How can we be thieves when you all are so weak-hearted?

- Release Kal Kal. - Father!

Release him!

- Get up. - Get up.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

It's nothing.

You said your child is sick, right? I'll help you.

Thank you!

- Seo Rim. - Yes, Wang Chi.

Why the pouting in broad daylight? Why are you not coming out?

- Come out! - Is it because of Lady Seul-ki?

No news yet?

Goodness, that is why he is like this.

Do you know what a "paper door love" is?

What is that?

Men's hearts are like that paper door.

It opens and closes easily.

The paper door is dark. Just like Kkuck-jung's heart.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

There are many "jade boys" in Hanyang.

- Jade boys? - What do you call handsome boys?

Jade boys, because they are sharp as jade.

Hanyang is full of them.

Really? Then I should go to Hanyang!

There are jade boys here and there, and even ones who cover their faces with fans.

They cling onto girls.

That is why when girls go to Hanyang, they do not think

of coming back because they are so enamored by jade boys!

I think Lady Seul-ki will also find one for herself...

Yoo Bok, report to the government office.

There is about to be murder here!

- Hey! - Hey!

That is why we should go hunting!

Go home already!

Speaking of, when I saw Wol Mae a few days ago, she smiled at me.

What do you think that means?

It means you are funny.

No, she smiled at me with her eyes!

You will choose another date for the crown princess nomination?

Yes, Your Majesty.

The date was already chosen with the opinions and discussions of many divisions.

So why do you want to change the date?

I have a teacher from the west.

He said the beginning is like the ending, and

the ending continues onto the next beginning.

That is difficult to understand.

I am able to see the past and the future.

The past is very ominous.

You must be talking about the day before the crown princess nomination.

The beginning of the nomination resembles the omen of the previous day.

The future holds misfortune.

So you are talking about the day after the nomination.

That misfortune may continue on.

I see.

So you should select, not just a good day, but a

day with a good previous date and good after date.

Then can you choose another day with both a good previous date and a good after date?

Yes, Your Majesty.

But I would like to ask you something.

Go ahead.

What is your teacher's name?

Oh...

He is a high priest named Umberto Eco.

I see...

The governor tricked me!

Was Myeong-ri part of it, too?

No, no, no.

I'm sure she wasn't part of this.

But is this not worth it? It is to be the crown princess.

Do you know how many kings there were during the 500 years of Joseon?

- There were 27 of them. - That many?

Joseon was around for 500 years?

There were 27 kings, but there were 47 queens.

Oh, it is almost double the number of kings.

The queens are deposed, expelled, killed, or they die of an illness or poison.

They drop dead like flies!

Out of 47 queens, only one queen who made it

to the end, and that is Empress Myeong-seong!

There was such a queen?

- Hey, I'm in danger right now. - Really?

Let's run.

Let's run away.

Cho Sun, run! Run! Run! Run!

Have you ever heard of a manor with 99 rooms that resemble the palace?

This house is exactly what that is.

Do you think you can escape from here just because you go over a wall?

You can try, but you will barely make it out of here.

And look over there.

There, too.

Do not think of them as people.

Then what are they?

They are dogs. Hunting dogs.

If you try to run away, you will not make it out alive.

That is what the lady of the house is like.

I heard you are going to select another date for the nomination.

Did the news spread already?

I am the First Palace Lady, after all.

This is the Queen Dowager's command.

I am the one who manages the nomination.

Do you think the girl Lord Yoon Won-hyeong is trying to make

into the crown princess can become one without my permission?

You need to join hands with the right person.

Decide whether you want to see the rising sun or sinking moon.

Tae. Jeong. Tae. Se. Mun. Dan. Se.

Ye. Seong. Yeon. Jung. In. Myeong. Seon.

What are you doing?

Kwang. In. Hyo. Hyun. Sook. Kyung. Young.

Venerable Bou.

Jeong. Sun. Heon. Cheol. Go Sun.

What is wrong with you?

If I tell you everything I know, you will lose your mind.

Do you think I am doing this because of a mere princess?

You guys are just mayflies to me.

Do not come see me for something like this again.

Welcome.

What did Bou say?

He truly is an unusual character.

Either he is a knowledgeable monk or a priest who knows the future.
