Shine or Go Crazy (빛나거나 미치거나)

[This is a fictional drama based on historical facts.]

[Events depicted might differ from actual events.]

Wook.

You fools!

Wook.

Kill them all!

What?

How absurd!

You came in here like mice.

What did you steal?

Hand it over immediately!

Immediately!

Follow him!

What?

Darn it!

Darn it!

How could this be?

Did you lose him?

Did you lose all of them?

I'm sorry.

Did they steal

the bronze mirror pieces?

Did you already know

about the bronze mirror pieces?

Please tell me all about them.

Aren't I on your side already?

Yes.

Yes, I'll tell you everything.

The bronze mirror pieces

is a pact between me

and five other noblemen.

Our pact is, 'sal jae su ho guk,'

meaning, “the noblemen will kill the King and rule the nation.”

These five words are engraved on there,

along with our names.

We put our lives on the line

for the pact.

Five years ago on that night,

were you in Father's room, too?

Can I tolerate all of this

and rise to the throne?

Nonetheless,

I'll still go with you.

What can you give me?

What do you want?

Become completely

loyal to me.

How could you become Wang Sik Ryeom's sword,

the man who killed my father?

How could you?

I heard the virtuous men infiltrated here last night!

What's happening?

What did they steal?

Could it be?

They stole our bronze mirror pieces.

Then

doesn't this mean they have all 5 pieces?

What do we do now?

The bronze mirror pieces have

our pact engraved on it.

As I've told you before,

they won't be able to figure it out that easily.

What if they do?

Right now, there's an order to arrest them.

They won't be able to reveal

the bronze mirror pieces that easily.

They'll have to admit that they're thieves

who killed Kim Jong Sik and Hong Gui Ui,

and broke into my house before doing that.

I'll find ways to counterattack them.

Trust me.

Trust me.

I'll contribute

to the war with Wang Sik Ryeom.

Thank you for your sincerity.

I'm planning on releasing Cheong Ok

and her younger sister.

Cheong Ok will be our emergency messenger.

And we must find out the noblemen's plans,

so it's better for Cheong Ok to stay at Wolhyanglu.

Okay.

Have you seen the bronze mirrors?

You'll have to see them with me.

These people are Goryeo's rotten roots.

But their names alone aren't enough as evidence.

There's a pact to kill the First King

on this bronze mirror.

That's why Wang Sik Ryeom was obsessed with it.

After we find it,

the problem is the antidote.

The next great meeting must be held by the King.

Will it be possible to make the antidote?

No middlemen will give us advance payments.

Pungwoo Trading Company is too powerful.

Yool.

Has anyone agreed to a credit transaction?

Us neither.

Nothing is working out.

Right.

Did you hear the news, Miss?

Last night, the virtuous men infiltrated Wang Sik Ryeom's house.

What are you talking about?

They mobilized the palatial soldiers and they pursued them.

So were they captured or hurt?

No.

They said they ran away safely.

Is anyone here?

Why is that guy here?

And who's that person beside him?

- What brings you here? - Yes, Shin Yool.

Mr. Yang is here too, I see.

Say hello.

He runs everything at Pungwoo Trading Co.

Never mind.

What brings you here?

- You're done with us. - What do you mean?

All of your wealth was given to Pungwoo Trading Co.

but why are you still here?

You want us to hand over our homes?

You need to move out, so that we can move in.

That's ridiculous!

Give us some time.

Then we'll pay for our land here.

You have 15 days.

If you don't pay within 15 days,

you'll have to leave.

Look here!

- How could we do that in 15 days? - If we pay,

then this land and the house is ours.

You've promised.

How can we get the money in 15 days?

Now we're really going down!

Miss.

Is there a way for our company to survive?

It's not impossible.

What is it?

We need to get the spices that are being delivered on the ship.

The spices do yield a lot of money.

The prices of spices have skyrocketed in the central districts.

It's probably risen more than 10 fold.

With that money, we can pay for our house,

and we'll have seed money as well.

But you said we need 30,000 ginseng roots.

There is one person in the capital

who has 30,000 ginseng roots.

Who is it?

It's Princess Yeo Won.

Miss.

So you're going to meet her right now?

She's Prince Wang So's wife!

Do you think she'll help us?

We'll be lucky if she doesn't treat us badly!

I'm against it, too.

It won't work anyway.

I hate all of the Hwang family!

Gaebong!

Don't worry, you fool!

Everything will be returned.

The world's most interesting goods

will be stocked in the magical storage room,

and at this inn,

Goryeo's, I mean, all the world's men

will come here and make a ruckus.

Chunghae Trading Co. is no ordinary company.

Don't worry.

What are you doing?

- Are you okay? - What are you talking about?

Didn't you get hurt

when the soldiers chased after you?

My shoulder, my back!

Even my legs!

Does it hurt a lot?

Of course it does!

- Not there, but a little lower. - Here?

Or…

Or here?

You keep touching where it hurts, go left.

Go right!

Yeah, a little lower.

Go a little lower.

Why did you hit me?

I don't think you got hurt.

What do you mean?

I wasn't hurt at all.

- * Hyungnim ! - Why are you so gullible?

[Hyungnim: formal version of older brother or male.]

I'm only gullible with you.

Is that so?

Gaebong.

What are you thinking about?

What are you imagining about?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Gaebong.

Everything is almost done.

Just hold on a little longer.

I'll return everything to where it once was.

Don't you trust me?

I do.

- It just feels weird. - What does?

It's the first time someone's said to me,
