Father.

Father.

Father.

Yool, it saddens me deeply not to see you

grow up before I go.

Father.

Father.

Father.

Young Lord.

Crown Prince.

Come closer.

Tell me, Your Majesty.

When I think about passing on the royal throne that I have protected with my bloody tears

to an undeserving arse like you,

it makes me so angry that I can't close my eyes.

I'm worried that you might persecute

the young prince Gyeongin because of your

resentment against me.

Promise me that you'll protect your little brother.

Your Majesty, that's not how you ask for a favor.

You need to plead with tears and beg on your hands and knees.

This punk...

Alright, I'll watch over you...

how your world will unfold...

what-what actions you will take,

this insolent punk.

Father!

Father.

Pay him proper respect.

The king has passed!

The king has passed!

The king has passed!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, the throne you kept with your blood and tears,

I'll protect it well.

So please go in peace.

It will be awesome if you do well but deadly if you don't!

Let's have fun!

Episode 1

How exciting!

Alright!

In all eight provinces of Joseon,

do you know what the scariest thing is that will make people pee in their pants with fear?

I know!

- The scariest thing is a tiger! - Definitely not!

- Then dried persimmons? - Lords?

- Isn't it loneliness? - No, no!

- It's not that. - Then what?

More than Highness Ho Hwan and

scarier than the savages who cut off your nose and ears,

that punk is...

Where is he? What? What? What is he?

Ah, that person.

Even a ghost spits and

avoids this country's infamous rogue.

The rogue.

That loutish bastard.

He's the bastard?

You punk, I am the king of this country.

How dare you try to go in front of me without any fear?

Bring that punk at once and beat him!

What are you doing?

Don't stop the torture until he confesses.

Yes, sir!

Stop!

Wait. Please just spare my life.

Then, who is the leader of this attempt at treason?

Tell me the name.

Give me the name!

It's Prince of the Court Neung Chang.

Neung Chang? Are you talking about Prince Gyeongin's maternal grandfather?

Yes.

Your Majesty, what should I do?

Bring that criminal at once!

What do you mean treason? Who said such things?

I'll go see the queen dowager right now!

I don't think so.

What are you going to do after seeing the queen dowager?

You wretch, Sin Chi Soo! With your sly tongue,

what did you tell His Majesty?

Do you think I will just sit around and watch?

When I see the king myself, I will report all of your crimes!

Mother!

How dare you touch him?!

You wretches! Let him go at once!

You wicked girls, whom do you think you are putting your hands on?

Prince! Prince!

Prince!

Your Majesty, how can you be so cruel to your mother?

Is it not enough to kill my innocent father? And now you take my innocent son, too?

Do you not fear the heavens?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, why would the young prince

plan treason?

While you've punished his grandfather, you must acknowledge his innocence.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty!

You cannot do so.

His name came up during the interrogation of the criminal,

so the request for his crime to be ignored is

no different than a dereliction of duty.

Your Majesty, you must punish the prince for his crime and leave no stone unturned.

Your Majesty, even if he has committed crimes, he's your brother after all.

If you punish him too harshly, you will be criticized for losing your morals as a noble.

Please show your grace.

Your Majesty, what he's saying now is no different than saying to stop catching the traitors.

In addition to the traitors who endangered this country's stability,

you must also punish the ministers and councilors that sway or confuse you.

He's so determined to kill the prince.

It's up to His Majesty now.

Hyungnim, what took you so long?

Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?

Yool, listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.

I think I'm going to have to send you somewhere for a little while.

While you're there, if you listen well, eat well, and wait,

I will come to get you soon.

You promise?

Sin Chi Soo who brought down the traitors and kept this country safe,

I give him the rank of a first-class retainer and

promote him to Prince of the Court Goseong.

Your Majesty.

Your grace is endless.

Your Majesty!

That's good.

You need to pay if you enjoyed it.

Ah, this is hard.

You need to pay more.

You are stealing.

How much did you take?

Why are you handing that to me?

Hey, just a bit. Add to it.

That punk is quite...

He is too handsome to be lowly.

Ey! You rotten people!

Since you are going wild over this craziness, I can't stop my craziness.

There! You crazy people who are crazier than me.

Eat this!

What do you mean you can't pay a penny?

You didn't expect to be paid when you played with the ruler of this country in my yard, did you?

But Lord,

it was only all for fun. How can you be like this?

Shut your mouth!

Just be grateful that I am not reporting you to the government offices.

Get lost!

Lord! Lord! Lord!

He said to get lost!

Lord!

Get lost!

No.

What filthy rich man?

Just take this and die!

What is this?

Just where do you think you are spitting?

So disgusting I could die.

What's with you again?

I was just going to go,

- but I don't think I can do that. - What?

Hey, hey, hey!

Brother!

Isn't there any food to eat?

What are you doing?!

Catch him!

Come on, come on! That scum there!

Gather up.

What was that sound?

Aigo, Hyungnim.

Pick it up!

Run!

Those punks.

Catch them!

Catch them!

Catch them!

Move.

Catch them!

Oh my! My legs! Aigo!

I died and lived again.

I thought you were taking it well.

Look what you've done.

Oh, my.

This is...

Here.

What is that?

What?

Oh my!

Isn't this that corvina that even the king has difficulty finding to eat?

They look good, don't they?

What is this taste!

Isn't it insane?

Make sure to chew as you eat. You'll get indigestion.

Ha Seon... you didn't break the pot, did you?

How many did you break?

Ah that is... there were so many pots...

I was tapping so many of them, but I couldn't find it.
