Joseon Survival (조선생존기)

(The characters and events of the Joseon Dynasty in this

Kkuck-Jung!

Damn it.

- Seul-ki. - Okay, hold on!

- Gauze. - Okay.

You must leave now.

What about the patients?

It is common for people to be beaten to death by the royal forces in Joseon.

Do not worry and leave quickly.

If you do not leave now, you will not be able to go back forever!

I can't go back yet!

- Kkuck-Jung, I think it's been over 30 minutes now. - Yes.

- We have 36 left. - Where?

Follow me.

- Send the signal and prepare the guards. - Yes, sir!

Kkuck-Jung!

Careful.

Do you regret now?

You only live once. I don't regret anything.

What about you?

This sword in my hand is not for wielding cows but this rotten world.

I was born as a butcher, but I would be honored if I can die as a man.

I was proud to fight alongside you.

It means I'm grateful.

When I count to three, duck to the ground and do not move.

Do what on three? I didn't catch that. Say it again.

- One... - Say what?

- Two... - I said I didn't hear you.

Three!

Since when were they hiding for an ambush?

It's all thanks to what you taught me.

Now, we must hurry and go over the hill.

Yes.

- Jung-rok... - Jung-rok, are you okay?

Hye-Jin, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

Yes, I'm fine, but I feel bad for leaving the patients behind.

- What do I do? - Don't worry. They'll be fine.

What about Seul-ki?

Come with us.

If you go 500 years to the future...

you can live comfortably without fighting or stealing.

I'm serious.

My lady...

If... If you don't leave right now...

in the year 1562-

They say your fate is decided by the heavens.

My fate is to live and die in Joseon.

Jung-rok... say something...

Tell him he's going to die if he doesn't leave now.

He said you cannot be later than 5 o'clock.

You must hurry!

Kkuck-Jung, the officer is bringing his soldiers!

Hurry!

Before you go, will you show me your skills?

- How far do you think there are? - Over 12,000 steps.

I'll get the front. You get the latter.

They seem to be at the 2 o'clock position.

2 o'clock?

Let's see.

At 3 o'clock.

You're going to London, Han Jong-rok!

I brought breakfast!

That's good. I was hungry.

Jung-rok, join me!

I have to go back to the athlete's quarters.

- He's going to meet a girl! - Hey!

The farming went well this year. They're delicious.

- This is the end of strawberries. - Why?

The landlord wants us to get rid of the greenhouse by the end of next month.

We still have a few years left on the lease period.

Why are you telling him this when he's going to compete?

- Father, should I look into it? - No, I'll take care of it. Don't worry.

- You should be on your way now. - Okay.

Jung-rok, when you go to London, can you buy me lip gloss at the duty free store?

You don't need make-up at your age!

You're clueless about the world since all you do is archery.

Nowadays, even middle school students do make-up!

- You're still in elementary. - Not for long!

- I'll be in middle school soon. - You need to eat and go to school.

The wind is the most important.

When the arrow flies into the air, it flies at about 240 kilometers per hour.

That's fast.

At first it is, but it won't even go half its speed later on.

- The speed changes? - Yes.

It weaves through the air.

Depending on the wind, it gets pushed or sails downwards.

Yet, how can you hit bull's eye?

That's why you have to practice a lot.

Let's go to the shade. Your face will get burned.

This is nice.

When you get a gold medal, I bet you'll receive a lot of prize money.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

How much is the prize money?

A gold medal is...

$1,000.

Eh? That's all?

Every month for the rest of your life.

And when it comes to Olympic medals, money isn't important

You're right. You'll bring honor to your family and become a national hero.

You'll appear on TV, too. I saw your interview.

- You're a great speaker. - Really?

What did I say? I don't remember anything.

"I will hit bull's eye and win the gold medal

triumphantly like the citizens expect me to!"

You were poetic.

With...

the gold medal around my neck...

I'm going to propose to you.

Really? At the awards ceremony?

What if you get the gold medal stripped from you-

What was that?

Are they already out?

Are they shooting arrows? Wow!

No, it's dangerous.

What do we do now?

We have no choice.

Three people and 36 arrows per person...

so 108 arrows in all.

- It's going to take a while. - Lucky for us.

Jung-rok, did you prepare your bow?

- Yes, I prepared two. - Great!

- Don't break it like last time. - Oh, come on!

You need to go down.

- Why? - You have a visitor.

A visitor?

Hye-Jin!

- How'd you get in here? - Surprised?

- Non-athletes can't come in here. - So you're not happy?

I'm just amazed.

I climbed the wall.

- If you don't want to see me, I'll just leave. - Hey, come on now...

You really dreamt of me? Can I believe you?

I don't know if it was a dream or a daydream,

but I saw you while training my mind.

Training your mind?

Yes, it's...

Anyways, it's like a video clip.

Really? How was it? How did I look?

I was pretty, wasn't I? I bet I was.

What?

I realized that this could be a dream.

Are you that happy?

I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life.

You just proposed for us to live together, didn't you?

No, I didn't...

Fine, I accept.

Fine, but bring me a gold medal as a wedding gift.

Wow, a gold medal will be the greatest wedding gift in the country!

- You promised me. Are you confident? - Of course!

Come here.

Have a seat.

Hold out your hand.

Ta-da! A lucky bracelet!

What's this?

This will bring you fortune.

Love gives birth to a miracle.

Wow, this is beautiful!

Thanks, Hye-Jin.

How can you shoot arrows so perfectly with these hands?

You don't shoot arrows with your hands.

- Then your eyes? - No.

Faith.

That's so cool.

227: 220. It's an overwhelming victory by seven points.

All three athletes shot well, but Jung-rok did an exceptional job.

All six shots are perfect!

Wow, nice job!

- Just as expected... - That's my brother!

Nice, Han Jong-rok!

Let's go for the gold! Let's go!

Hurray!

Can I pierce my ears now?

No, you're just in elementary.

Oh, come on!

- Someone's happy. - Oh, I'm so sorry.

The entire country is watching, so I have to watch it, too.

- You're dying of joy. - Did you see his perfect shots?

He's going to propose to you at the ceremony if he wins, right?

With his personality, I have no doubts.

So at the London Olympic awards ceremony, Korea's top

archer will propose to you in front of the whole world?

Yup. Don't you think our people will forgive him for that?

- Because he has a gold medal. - Exactly.

- Because he saved the world. - Precisely.

- Stop bragging and go on your rounds. - Yes, ma'am.

All three athletes shot well, but Jung-rok did an exceptional job.

Damn it.

Go to bed. You have school tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Aren't you happy?

Of course, but the finals are still left.

Mom, if you're happy, just say so.

Goodness, I will.

- The competition is over, so brush your teeth and sleep. - What about dad?

Why don't you listen to me?

I gave you a warning! I gave you a week!

You should be grateful to my boss that we're only going this far. Or you'd be dead!

Let go of me, you jerks!

What time is it in London? It's night, isn't it?

Aren't you going to sleep?

That's nice.
