My Dearest (연인)

(This drama is a work of fiction created based on historical facts.)

(Most of the details and depictions of the characters are fictional.)

Lady Gil Chae...

I mean, Lady Yoo...

She is in Simyang.

Jong Jong.

Jong Jong.

Right.

Ryang Eum must have been mistaken.

Her husband is an officer.

There is no way she would be in a place like this.

How could she be here?

You will not get such a fine one elsewhere.

She is a real Joseon noblewoman.

Her skin is fair.

She has a scar, but everything else is fine.

The perfect rare item!

Her price...

starts at 30 nyang.

Name your price.

I keep seeing things.

What are you doing?

Pay up if you want the girl!

Why are you...

Why...

are you...

How?

Why?

Why?

This rat!

My lord.

My lord!

My lord!

Lord Lee!

My lord.

My lord!

My lord.

Lord Lee!

My lord.

My lord!

My lord!

My lord.

My lord.

I knew this would happen.

You would risk everything for Lady Yoo.

Where is she?

I made sure they would not sell her.

Get your wound treated and go see her.

Madam.

Since when have you been here?

Who is your madam?

Leave at once.

Go...

and tell Interpreter Lee to pretend he never saw me.

It has been a while since she was brought to the slave market.

She was sold to someone but was sent back to the market...

because she ripped her master's ear.

Jong Jong has been sold to a faraway place.

I suggest you leave at dawn.

The sooner I leave, the sooner she can return.

I am leaving.

Do not worry.

I will be sure to bring Jong Jong back with me.

Come out.

This one is a rare item. I have never sent her out for these things before.

Therefore,

she is expensive.

Ten nyang.

Fifteen nyang if you wish to keep her all night.

I never thought we would meet again in a place like this.

What happened in Joseon?

You should have lived a good life.

The kind of life you can boast about.

More importantly,

how come you did not look for me?

You knew I was in Simyang.

Why did you choose to suffer like this instead of coming to me?

Why should I look for you?

I have no reason to ask you for help.

The two of us...

We are nothing.

Did you...

pay him...

to buy me up for the night?

You are no different, after all.

Then...

what shall I do for you?

Shall I pour you a drink?

Or shall I sing and dance for you?

Or...

Is it something else that you are after?

Even if you show me kindness,

I cannot repay you.

So...

do not do anything.

It makes me uncomfortable.

No.

This time, I am not going to do what you want.

I am going to do...

what I want.

Did you have a good time?

But the thing is, I have changed my mind.

I do not think I can sell that woman.

You are not going to sell her...

all of a sudden?

Well, that is up to me.

If you really want to buy her,

give me 200 nyang.

In the past, she ran away...

and hurt one of my right-hand men.

If you think of his medical costs,

I should be asking for 300 nyang.

No.

No!

Actually, I should not sell her. I should keep her here.

I am not selling her.

Think about it...

again.

I cannot sell her.

I will not.

Is that so?

I am also...

a merchant.

Since you worked hard to earn your money,

I will not take any of your money.

However,

if I give you money,

you must...

hand over the captive.

If you do not,

I will take her with me after shoving the money into your eyes.

All right.

They will all be up for sale.

Take everyone with you.

You can come out.

Go.

Get out!

Get out.

This way.

Hurry up!

Let us go.

It is strange.

I am always with you...

when the moon is bright.

I am not sure where it all started to go wrong.

Was it...

when I left you alone...

and went to Namhan Fortress?

Or was it...

when I left you alone...

and went...

to Simyang?

Or...

was it...

when you left me?

As soon as we get a certificate from the Qing's financial office,

your release will be finalized.

So,

do not worry about a thing.

Do not...

worry about a thing.

Do you feel okay?

I am fine.

Did I...

perhaps make a mistake?

I will get ready to go to the financial office.

(Hobu: the office in charge of the country's financial affairs)

Oh, and I will bring you a change of clothes.

Wait here for a bit.

Thanks.

Thank you.

No.

I am grateful to you.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Had I known this would happen,

I would have brought some silk clothes from Joseon.

These clothes are from Joseon.

I thought she might need them.

Thank you.

I feel as though you can see right through me.

Lady Yoo.

Lady Yoo, I am coming in.

The woman has been sold elsewhere.

They took her away just now.

This is...

I will give this back.

What are you trying to pull?

I mean, a royal wanted to buy her.

How can I say no?

She is nothing special.

Why did he want to buy you by paying so much money?

Your Highness.

Interpreter Lee Jang Hyun is here.

Lai.

Your Highness.

Did you come to see me,

or...

did you come to find that woman?

I am sorry,
