The Great Seer (대풍수)

Episode 1

June 1st, 1388 - 8 days after the Wehwado Retreat, outside the capital

It's Gaegyoung. Will you go in, sire?

Once we go past this place, there is no going back.

If we fail... it will be treason.

If you succeed, it's a revolution.

Is this what the heavens want?

The mandate of heaven does not go with you.

You're only a human who can change the mandate of heaven.

Change the course of heaven's way?

Change the mandate of heaven with these hands?

Advance.

We're advancing to Gaegyoung.

Goryeo, 1342 - third year of King Chunghye's rule At the sacred temple of worship

Finally, we have Ja Mi Won in the land.

Ja Mi Won?

Yes sir.

I have seen guidance to Ja Mi Won.

Watch your tongue! Ja Mi Won, of all things!

It's treason to the empire to even talk about a such thing!

Hyun Shil Ja Mi Wang Ga Bun Seung.

The royalty will prosper when Ja Mi Won appears in the sky.

You want to miss an opportunity for the royalty to proper because we're afraid of the empire?

She is right, sir.

We must follow the will of the former king to serve Ja Mi Won to strengthen the royalty.

Who shall we send?

The Great Seer of Seowon of course.

The one with divine eyes who can see the future.

I will send Dong Yoon.

Dong Yoon? He may be stubborn. But he has the best eyes.

Also Dong Yoon is a taciturn man.

I think keeping this matter low-profile is important.

The Great King Taejo, who opened the sky of Goryeo.

The Great Site has finally come to this land.

Now a lowly human is leaving on his journey to meet the dragon.

Let his journey be without water or wind.

Let his journey be without human greed.

Lord Ja Mi Won will not allow a human being to come to him easily.

Even the animals stop at his divine aura.

Nature will only provide a trivial path.

A prophecy was given to me that we would find that site.

Lord Ja Mi Won!

He will save the people from misery.

He will give us the power to protect Goryeo from outside forces.

No matter what difficulty faces you...

Find the Great Site. Lord Ja Mi Won.

You will bury the seal at that site.

Seowon Gwan.

Are you really going alone?

I have to.

How will you go on that dangerous journey alone?

It hasn't been long since you came back from your last journey.

The person who leaves for the divine site

must keep his body and mind simple.

I will go with you.

I can't send you alone.

Please stop bothering me. I have a far way to go.

Stubborn! Fool!

What?

You think you can find Ja Mi Won?

Chun Bool Ji Bool Sook.

The heaven will not give and the earth will not take.

It's not going to be found just because a human being wants to find it.

It needs divine interference.

Then...

Take this with you.

Come back safely.

I will be waiting for you.

Fool! You came too early!

Hey! Who are you?

You're the type that would try to get a child on the first night.

You dare to speak to grown-ups like that?

Where did you learn your manners?

Get lost!

Fifty more years need to pass for this place to work.

Left Blue Dragon

Right White Tiger

North Turtle

King's command! King's command! King's command!

This is the site of the great king to come in fifty years.

Do not touch before its time.

Get lost you fool!

Fifty more years need to pass for this place to work.

Stop!

Where is Ja Mi Won?

He said that it was not time yet.

How would a mere private prophet like you know the way of the heavens?

I saw a stone plate. It read that fifty more years must pass.

No! No!

That place was a place with two leads.

Did you see it on the mountain?

Fool!

Is it in Mount Gaya then?

If I ruin the Ji Mi Won, the people will starve!

Arrogance! You dare to talk about the people!

Fine! Let's see how much of a heart you have for the people.

Help! Help! Spare me!

Spare me! Spare me!

Your life depends on him.

Spare me!

Spare me! And I will do anything!

Just kill me! Just kill me instead!

Did you find it in Gwanam at Mount Gyeram?

Spare me!

I won't do anything wrong from now on.

Kill me! Just kill me!

Kill me.

1352 First year of King Kongmin's rule

Kong Myung!

Father! Father! Father!

- Let go! - No!

Go!

Honey!

Mother! Mother!

My child! My child!

Lee In Im.

Your Excellency! Please spare my youngest child!

He is too young. He will only take up the food supply.

Your Excellency! Please!

Sir! She's my only daughter.

Please spare her.

Let them go.

Sir?

Pity the young and spare him.

And it's his only daughter.

Send them back.

If you let the women go...

we won't have enough to send to the empire.

This is called the Four Tiger Sword.

On the tiger hour of the tiger day, in the tiger month of the tiger year...

You can only make it when these four times overlap.

That means you can only make one every 12 years.

Sir! Sir!

I finally found a wife after turning 30.

I haven't even spent the first night with her. Please let my wife go too.

Must I cut down trash with a sword meant for enemy generals?

Do you want to see His Highness get humiliated by the

Chinese endeavor because we're not sending enough girls?

Fill it up!

Yes sir.

Good! Very good!

I'm glad that you liked it.

Are you going to train them in martial arts so you can attack the empire?

King Kongmin

The emperor has made me a king.

How could I?

No! No!

They show the vigor to attack the empire at any second.

Quite humble movements to fight against the great swordsmanship of China.

Please, do not misunderstand us.

Should I test it?

To see if they are really humble movements?

Sharp.

I wonder if your heart is like this sword.

Princess No Gook

Your joke is over the line!

Just think.

The empire is also your country.

It was an honor to serve you.

Princess.

That is dangerous.

Please put it down.

I will cut your head off!

He sacrificed his life for us.

Will you make his death go in vain?

Escort the Queen back to her room.

They don't even know how lowly they look.

They think that they are swordsmen if they just hold the sword.

Isn't that right?

I'm glad that your misunderstanding has eased.

Your Highness sits on that throne.

Do you really think you're king too?

Disrespectful!

Is it right for the endeavor of the empire to disregard a life like that?

Who are you?

I'm a professor at Seowon Gwan. Young Ji.

Young Ji?

You dare!

Your Majesty!

Kill her right away.

What are you doing? Follow my orders!

Hold on!

Beg the endeavor for your life.

That is the only way you can live.

I don't want to beg for my life.

Good medicine tastes bitter.

You hold a different woman in your heart.

And yet you still look for me.

For pleasure, isn't it?

Yes.

If you don't like it...

I won't come to you anymore.

He sends girls to China just to save his throne.

He even let his own warrior die.

A man like that is the king of this country.

And I am his servant.

Yes... I, In Im, am ready at your command.

Yes, your Majesty. Thank you.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

I came to you for pleasure.
