1
00:00:35,761 --> 00:00:36,761
(Jo Young Bae)

2
00:00:36,762 --> 00:00:39,031
Are there still naive fools...

3
00:00:39,032 --> 00:00:41,331
who think Joseon is ruled by a king?

4
00:00:41,332 --> 00:00:42,701
(Left state councillor, henpecked husband)

5
00:00:42,702 --> 00:00:44,771
Joseon is run by the nobility.

6
00:00:46,472 --> 00:00:47,601
The reason...

7
00:00:47,972 --> 00:00:51,172
is because a king becomes
king by blood, not ability.

8
00:00:51,482 --> 00:00:53,941
In times as complicated as this,

9
00:00:53,942 --> 00:00:55,911
collective intelligence is the answer.

10
00:01:02,791 --> 00:01:04,451
(Park So Hyun, Jo's wife,
Honourable and Respectful Madame)

11
00:01:04,452 --> 00:01:05,921
(Actual person in power)

12
00:01:05,922 --> 00:01:07,121
Joseon is naturally...

13
00:01:07,862 --> 00:01:09,362
a nation of women.

14
00:01:10,832 --> 00:01:11,961
A great family...

15
00:01:12,631 --> 00:01:14,972
is like a tree that lives for centuries.

16
00:01:15,371 --> 00:01:18,101
In order for it to prosper,
it must have healthy roots.

17
00:01:18,901 --> 00:01:21,172
I believe it is the women at home...

18
00:01:22,011 --> 00:01:24,071
who make up the roots you do not see.

19
00:01:24,741 --> 00:01:26,812
That is why, however big a crisis you face,

20
00:01:27,112 --> 00:01:29,482
as long as the women
are strong and upright,

21
00:01:31,211 --> 00:01:33,582
that family will never fall.

22
00:01:36,221 --> 00:01:41,191
That is why I think Joseon
is a country of women.

23
00:01:45,031 --> 00:01:46,862
(Episode 3: I Think I Am an Agent of Love!)

24
00:01:52,642 --> 00:01:54,771
Hwa Rok is the youngest of the old ladies?

25
00:01:55,971 --> 00:01:57,612
- How interesting.
- I gave Hwa Rok...

26
00:01:58,181 --> 00:01:59,181
No,

27
00:01:59,182 --> 00:02:01,811
I gave Lady Sam Soon my word, but...

28
00:02:04,651 --> 00:02:08,191
I was so rude to that lord last time.

29
00:02:08,922 --> 00:02:11,621
If even the chief royal
secretary asked for your help,

30
00:02:12,162 --> 00:02:14,061
they seem to need you
more than you need them.

31
00:02:15,561 --> 00:02:16,632
Right?

32
00:02:17,091 --> 00:02:19,401
I am not at a disadvantage, am I?

33
00:02:20,202 --> 00:02:21,732
That is right.

34
00:02:23,871 --> 00:02:24,941
Gosh, it's hot!

35
00:02:25,971 --> 00:02:27,102
You could have told me.

36
00:02:28,871 --> 00:02:30,371
He is rich...

37
00:02:30,841 --> 00:02:31,841
Very well.

38
00:02:32,181 --> 00:02:33,681
Tell him to come for it himself.

39
00:02:34,642 --> 00:02:36,180
You could pass it to me...

40
00:02:36,181 --> 00:02:38,422
No, I say this for your sake.

41
00:02:38,721 --> 00:02:40,822
I will be fine, but if
you were to get involved,

42
00:02:41,251 --> 00:02:42,591
you could lose your head.

43
00:02:51,362 --> 00:02:54,262
I doubt anything good will come
from getting involved with him.

44
00:02:54,531 --> 00:02:57,072
Lady Jung. Stay out of this match.

45
00:02:57,401 --> 00:02:59,441
That is even more reason for me to help.

46
00:02:59,672 --> 00:03:02,770
That closed-minded weirdo of a nobleman...

47
00:03:02,771 --> 00:03:05,041
will marry off the
sisters to any bachelor...

48
00:03:05,042 --> 00:03:07,841
stating the King's decree,
as Lady Sam Soon said.

49
00:03:08,251 --> 00:03:09,482
Now that I am aware,

50
00:03:09,852 --> 00:03:11,852
I must do something about it.

51
00:03:21,061 --> 00:03:22,691
"I will be the old ladies' matchmaker."

52
00:03:23,332 --> 00:03:25,102
I will start by saying that.

53
00:03:27,031 --> 00:03:28,061
I can do this.

54
00:03:29,232 --> 00:03:30,731
However rude he may be,

55
00:03:30,732 --> 00:03:32,271
I will think only of Lady Sam Soon.

56
00:03:38,012 --> 00:03:40,112
Good. Let me...

57
00:03:41,412 --> 00:03:42,481
Let me apologize first.

58
00:03:42,482 --> 00:03:43,651
I am sorry for the last time.

59
00:03:43,652 --> 00:03:45,152
I will be the old ladies' matchmaker.

60
00:03:53,691 --> 00:03:55,291
- The condition...
- I have a condition.

61
00:03:57,092 --> 00:03:59,732
You two get on well, and
that makes me nervous.

62
00:04:00,462 --> 00:04:03,431
How about you sit down and then talk?

63
00:04:12,282 --> 00:04:14,741
Since you agreed, I
will state my condition.

64
00:04:15,612 --> 00:04:17,811
The wedding must happen before June.

65
00:04:17,982 --> 00:04:19,281
I have the King's decree,

66
00:04:19,282 --> 00:04:21,351
I must have prior notification
of the families we set up,

67
00:04:21,352 --> 00:04:23,432
and I will participate in
every step of the process.

68
00:04:23,691 --> 00:04:24,852
And the husbands...

69
00:04:25,592 --> 00:04:26,962
must be chosen from here.

70
00:04:30,532 --> 00:04:32,962
From this outdated bachelor list?

71
00:04:35,431 --> 00:04:38,672
Why does everyone say that as
soon as they see the cover?

72
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,241
That ancient list of old bachelors...

73
00:04:41,571 --> 00:04:42,972
are sons of great families?

74
00:04:43,272 --> 00:04:44,810
The Capital District Office...

75
00:04:44,811 --> 00:04:47,241
stopped compiling that list
in the Year of the Snake.

76
00:04:47,612 --> 00:04:52,022
Which means this copy was
made at least two years ago.

77
00:04:55,121 --> 00:04:56,950
Right here. Look.

78
00:04:56,951 --> 00:04:58,422
This man here.

79
00:04:58,821 --> 00:05:00,690
Hyeon Bin from Gwanwoon-dong
married last year,

80
00:05:00,691 --> 00:05:02,862
and his son celebrated his
first birthday last month.

81
00:05:05,201 --> 00:05:08,531
The scribe pretended to be so
busy and did not update the list.

82
00:05:08,532 --> 00:05:10,000
Once I take office,

83
00:05:10,001 --> 00:05:12,481
I will rearrange all personnel
of the Capital District Office.

84
00:05:13,172 --> 00:05:14,870
The groom can be any bachelor...

85
00:05:14,871 --> 00:05:16,272
even if he is not on that list?

86
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:18,680
If I summarize the conditions,
we have two months,

87
00:05:18,681 --> 00:05:20,611
the groom can only be an old bachelor,

88
00:05:20,612 --> 00:05:23,052
and everything will be done
together with you, Lord Sim.

89
00:05:24,511 --> 00:05:26,422
- Is that all?
- Yes.

90
00:05:26,552 --> 00:05:29,621
Then I will state my condition.

91
00:05:30,552 --> 00:05:31,721
I am the matchmaker.

92
00:05:31,722 --> 00:05:34,092
So follow my practice, whatever it may be.

93
00:05:36,532 --> 00:05:40,361
You mean I must follow your instructions?

94
00:05:40,362 --> 00:05:41,831
Instead of putting it like that...

95
00:05:42,131 --> 00:05:44,971
I am the expert, and I will take control.

96
00:05:44,972 --> 00:05:46,501
It is the same thing.

97
00:05:47,272 --> 00:05:48,342
Is it?

98
00:05:55,311 --> 00:05:56,712
He has totally fallen for her.

99
00:05:57,751 --> 00:05:59,022
I am paid in advance.

100
00:06:00,081 --> 00:06:01,581
The chief royal secretary said so.

101
00:06:05,061 --> 00:06:07,120
One hundred nyang per
match, a total of 300 nyang.

102
00:06:07,121 --> 00:06:08,791
The down payment is 150 nyang.

103
00:06:08,792 --> 00:06:10,962
You will get the remainder
on the wedding day.

104
00:06:11,292 --> 00:06:13,232
I meant 100 nyang for all 3.

105
00:06:13,701 --> 00:06:15,071
He will pay 100 per match?

106
00:06:15,302 --> 00:06:16,532
What losers.

107
00:06:18,272 --> 00:06:19,302
What is wrong?

108
00:06:20,201 --> 00:06:21,241
How dare you?

109
00:06:22,141 --> 00:06:23,412
Sign the contract first.

110
00:06:25,782 --> 00:06:28,502
(If Lady Yeoju fails to perform any
of the terms on the contract...)

111
00:06:32,852 --> 00:06:35,951
If all three of them are
not married within May,

112
00:06:36,652 --> 00:06:39,891
you must return double the down payment.

113
00:06:40,522 --> 00:06:41,691
Do you understand?

114
00:06:46,001 --> 00:06:48,402
I am Lady Yeoju, the master of matchmaking.

115
00:06:48,772 --> 00:06:50,672
I never fail.

116
00:06:51,402 --> 00:06:53,471
I will meet the ladies first,

117
00:06:53,472 --> 00:06:55,571
and then start the process in earnest.

118
00:06:56,972 --> 00:06:58,042
Three days from now,

119
00:06:58,612 --> 00:07:01,042
we can meet at the inn and
discuss plans and dates.

120
00:07:02,681 --> 00:07:05,222
Why three days from now and not tomorrow?

121
00:07:05,522 --> 00:07:07,782
I have another match to finish up first.

122
00:07:10,092 --> 00:07:11,092
Goodbye.

123
00:07:21,871 --> 00:07:23,902
Be sure not to lose the contract.

124
00:07:24,501 --> 00:07:25,542
Yes, my lord.

125
00:07:33,042 --> 00:07:34,741
Will you come by tomorrow?

126
00:07:38,381 --> 00:07:39,581
I will not.

127
00:07:40,881 --> 00:07:42,722
You are being so strange.

128
00:07:43,121 --> 00:07:45,260
You went to Lady Kim's for me.

129
00:07:45,261 --> 00:07:46,522
This is different.

130
00:07:48,592 --> 00:07:50,761
I cannot go to Lord Jo's house.

131
00:07:52,261 --> 00:07:53,931
Are you afraid of the place?

132
00:07:55,402 --> 00:07:56,431
Is it because of...

133
00:07:56,872 --> 00:07:58,541
the rumour that my mother-in-law...

134
00:07:58,542 --> 00:07:59,600
killed her first son's wife,

135
00:07:59,601 --> 00:08:02,281
and made it look like suicide to
receive a Title of Womanly Honour?

136
00:08:02,672 --> 00:08:05,782
Did you marry into that
family knowing that rumour?

137
00:08:06,981 --> 00:08:08,042
Are you crazy?

138
00:08:08,311 --> 00:08:10,111
That rumour is groundless.

139
00:08:10,351 --> 00:08:11,882
Did you not hear the next rumour?

140
00:08:12,252 --> 00:08:13,321
I did.

141
00:08:13,581 --> 00:08:15,522
The horror story about
the lady in the annex.

142
00:08:38,912 --> 00:08:41,341
She got possessed by the spirit
of the dead daughter-in-law,

143
00:08:41,512 --> 00:08:44,710
and hit her forehead on a
pillar all day long to escape,

144
00:08:44,711 --> 00:08:46,821
and her forehead bled and
her skull was visible.

145
00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:48,691
Right.

146
00:08:48,992 --> 00:08:50,792
It's just incredulous.

147
00:08:51,321 --> 00:08:53,622
My forehead is just fine.

148
00:08:54,122 --> 00:08:56,992
They say 99 percent of rumours are lies.

149
00:08:59,331 --> 00:09:02,631
I soon have to travel to do business
with Hamgyeong Province merchants...

150
00:09:02,632 --> 00:09:04,471
You leave next month.

151
00:09:06,002 --> 00:09:07,042
Lady Yeoju.

152
00:09:07,402 --> 00:09:08,971
Do you know how strange you are being?

153
00:09:09,242 --> 00:09:11,772
I do not think this is
just about the rumour.

154
00:09:14,711 --> 00:09:15,811
What is it?

155
00:09:18,412 --> 00:09:19,752
Are you crazy?

156
00:09:20,321 --> 00:09:22,221
How dare you think of going there?

157
00:09:22,851 --> 00:09:23,851
Jo Young Bae...

158
00:09:24,152 --> 00:09:25,220
No.

159
00:09:25,221 --> 00:09:27,492
What if you were to meet Lord Jo?

160
00:09:30,032 --> 00:09:31,861
He thinks I died eight years ago.

161
00:09:32,902 --> 00:09:34,061
He will not recognize me.

162
00:09:34,331 --> 00:09:36,601
If there is a fuss and
his quick-witted wife...

163
00:09:37,101 --> 00:09:39,841
were to deduct and realize who I am...

164
00:09:40,542 --> 00:09:41,672
I fear that even more.

165
00:09:42,571 --> 00:09:44,172
That is scary.

166
00:09:45,481 --> 00:09:46,681
I do not want to think of it.

167
00:09:47,882 --> 00:09:49,052
Still, be careful.

168
00:09:54,481 --> 00:09:55,522
Look.

169
00:09:55,721 --> 00:09:56,892
This right here...

170
00:09:57,292 --> 00:09:59,522
is worth half a sack of rice.

171
00:09:59,961 --> 00:10:01,162
What is that?

172
00:10:02,032 --> 00:10:05,061
Do you know how much work I
put into getting this powder?

173
00:10:05,802 --> 00:10:08,001
They look real exquisite too.

174
00:10:08,002 --> 00:10:10,031
No. Hands off.

175
00:10:10,032 --> 00:10:13,001
You can look only. They are very rare.

176
00:10:13,002 --> 00:10:14,941
- You are so mean.
- Not at all.

177
00:10:16,412 --> 00:10:17,742
What are you doing?

178
00:10:21,142 --> 00:10:22,851
Did this person make this powder?

179
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:29,220
I got these from old potter Ko Ji Pyung.

180
00:10:29,221 --> 00:10:30,552
I do not know who made them.

181
00:10:33,522 --> 00:10:34,622
Where is that place?

182
00:10:48,941 --> 00:10:50,042
You are here.

183
00:10:50,711 --> 00:10:52,441
I was worried, thinking you would not come.

184
00:10:53,142 --> 00:10:54,381
Come on in.

185
00:10:54,382 --> 00:10:55,882
My mother-in-law is waiting.

186
00:11:12,461 --> 00:11:13,532
Mother.

187
00:11:14,431 --> 00:11:16,402
Lady Yeoju the peddler is here.

188
00:11:25,581 --> 00:11:27,311
You can return to the annex.

189
00:11:31,752 --> 00:11:33,051
I would like to stay...

190
00:11:33,052 --> 00:11:35,351
If a widow is seen with a peddler,

191
00:11:36,152 --> 00:11:38,252
bad rumours will sprout.

192
00:11:40,622 --> 00:11:41,622
I understand.

193
00:11:45,701 --> 00:11:46,961
Do as you practiced.

194
00:11:59,711 --> 00:12:01,111
If you do business in Hanyang,

195
00:12:01,941 --> 00:12:03,110
you should know...

196
00:12:03,111 --> 00:12:05,652
our family does not hire matchmakers.

197
00:12:05,951 --> 00:12:07,622
But you insisted,

198
00:12:08,052 --> 00:12:10,212
and I asked to see you to
commend you on your courage.

199
00:12:11,752 --> 00:12:13,061
Tell me...

200
00:12:13,821 --> 00:12:14,981
what family you have in mind.

201
00:12:23,431 --> 00:12:24,632
My goodness.

202
00:12:26,372 --> 00:12:28,070
I asked you to call off talks of marriage.

203
00:12:28,071 --> 00:12:30,272
How could you suggest another match?

204
00:12:32,481 --> 00:12:34,940
Cancelling one match with another...

205
00:12:34,941 --> 00:12:36,311
is basic matchmaking practice.

206
00:12:36,851 --> 00:12:38,480
You dislike the deputy minister's son,

207
00:12:38,481 --> 00:12:40,152
not the idea of marriage, correct?

208
00:12:41,821 --> 00:12:43,622
That is true, but...

209
00:12:46,392 --> 00:12:47,461
But what?

210
00:12:47,622 --> 00:12:49,662
Are you seeing someone?

211
00:12:49,992 --> 00:12:51,132
No way.

212
00:12:51,992 --> 00:12:54,632
I would not ruin my future
by doing something like that.

213
00:12:59,071 --> 00:13:00,101
But then,

214
00:13:00,471 --> 00:13:02,911
you are at the age where
one day you want to marry,

215
00:13:02,912 --> 00:13:05,141
but the next, you want
to enjoy the freedom...

216
00:13:05,142 --> 00:13:06,412
of single life for longer.

217
00:13:06,841 --> 00:13:08,810
But this young man is a catch.

218
00:13:08,811 --> 00:13:10,211
You will regret missing out on him.

219
00:13:12,052 --> 00:13:13,581
You know I care about looks, right?

220
00:13:13,782 --> 00:13:15,021
I know.

221
00:13:15,022 --> 00:13:18,691
This young master did well in
class, but he is also handsome.

222
00:13:18,961 --> 00:13:20,761
What is more surprising
is that he is sweet too.

223
00:13:20,762 --> 00:13:22,602
Someone like him is
almost impossible to find.

224
00:13:25,662 --> 00:13:27,902
Sungkyunkwan's Headmaster Lee...

225
00:13:28,431 --> 00:13:30,201
wishes to become in-laws with you.

226
00:13:35,542 --> 00:13:37,241
What matchmaker...

227
00:13:37,242 --> 00:13:40,081
does not know our families
are political opponents?

228
00:13:41,481 --> 00:13:44,282
My mom will refuse that match.

229
00:13:45,851 --> 00:13:49,522
I would say I know your
mother better than you do.

230
00:13:49,951 --> 00:13:51,391
I say she will accept the match.

231
00:13:51,392 --> 00:13:53,492
Your mother sees the big picture.

232
00:13:54,221 --> 00:13:55,221
Like me.

233
00:13:55,222 --> 00:13:58,931
You must know our family and
his are political opponents.

234
00:13:59,402 --> 00:14:00,701
Are you sure...

235
00:14:01,402 --> 00:14:03,902
the headmaster's wife
suggested this match first?

236
00:14:06,542 --> 00:14:07,802
This is the date and time...

237
00:14:08,402 --> 00:14:09,811
of her son's birth.

238
00:14:12,811 --> 00:14:16,111
I see why everyone calls you
the master of matchmaking.

239
00:14:22,451 --> 00:14:24,411
This is the date and time
of my daughter's birth.

240
00:14:25,091 --> 00:14:26,892
Keep it a secret until the wedding.

241
00:14:27,392 --> 00:14:30,031
I will give you a good date after
Buddha's birthday celebration.

242
00:14:30,032 --> 00:14:31,231
Come by again then.

243
00:14:41,601 --> 00:14:45,071
I come here sometimes for a nap.

244
00:14:46,681 --> 00:14:49,152
Your father used to join me.

245
00:14:53,152 --> 00:14:56,522
Your father was a tough
subject to keep close,

246
00:14:56,992 --> 00:14:58,622
but he was a good friend.

247
00:15:00,262 --> 00:15:02,122
Just like you.

248
00:15:08,502 --> 00:15:09,862
About the old ladies' marriages...

249
00:15:11,231 --> 00:15:13,372
I hired a skilled matchmaker.

250
00:15:13,772 --> 00:15:15,172
You need not worry anymore.

251
00:15:16,111 --> 00:15:17,142
Me?

252
00:15:17,672 --> 00:15:18,742
Why would I worry?

253
00:15:19,042 --> 00:15:21,242
You should worry you might fail.

254
00:15:25,052 --> 00:15:26,721
I am worried.

255
00:15:27,721 --> 00:15:29,152
Worries...

256
00:15:31,622 --> 00:15:33,190
Ye Jin will marry...

257
00:15:33,191 --> 00:15:36,091
Sungkyunkwan's headmaster's eldest son.

258
00:15:36,931 --> 00:15:38,460
Is he not an ally...

259
00:15:38,461 --> 00:15:41,002
of the chief royal secretary
and his Namjang Faction?

260
00:15:41,731 --> 00:15:45,001
He is, but he is an upright
man and very wise and learned,

261
00:15:45,002 --> 00:15:48,002
so many of our young
scholars respect him greatly.

262
00:15:48,802 --> 00:15:50,872
If he were to become one of us,

263
00:15:52,581 --> 00:15:55,181
that would be a great
help to Prince Jinsung.

264
00:15:55,782 --> 00:15:58,282
I am sure you know what you are doing.

265
00:16:05,221 --> 00:16:06,361
Lord Gyeongunjae?

266
00:16:08,622 --> 00:16:09,930
He must have decided...

267
00:16:09,931 --> 00:16:12,861
written appeals alone
cannot get him an annulment.

268
00:16:13,632 --> 00:16:16,172
He has been seeing the King often.

269
00:16:18,601 --> 00:16:20,502
He could be up to something else.

270
00:16:21,971 --> 00:16:23,711
Why would that be a problem?

271
00:16:24,142 --> 00:16:26,681
He is one of our people.

272
00:16:28,311 --> 00:16:30,052
But if he turns his back on us,

273
00:16:31,081 --> 00:16:33,222
he will become the most dangerous enemy.

274
00:16:44,861 --> 00:16:45,861
Soon Duk.

275
00:16:47,101 --> 00:16:49,130
Will you stop pacing?

276
00:16:49,131 --> 00:16:50,171
I feel dizzy.

277
00:16:51,331 --> 00:16:53,971
It is the wine, not my pacing.

278
00:16:53,972 --> 00:16:55,042
You had enough tonight.

279
00:16:56,542 --> 00:16:57,972
What is happening?

280
00:16:58,671 --> 00:17:01,512
It is two days away, so
I must have heard by now.

281
00:17:03,151 --> 00:17:04,182
It will not...

282
00:17:04,682 --> 00:17:07,282
be called off over a debt, right?

283
00:17:07,581 --> 00:17:11,091
Which family are you working
for that you are so anxious?

284
00:17:15,831 --> 00:17:17,061
Try not to be too shocked.

285
00:17:17,462 --> 00:17:20,901
I will work for the Maeng
family from Mount Nam Valley.

286
00:17:23,032 --> 00:17:24,272
The old ladies?

287
00:17:25,202 --> 00:17:26,242
Which one?

288
00:17:27,101 --> 00:17:28,141
The eldest...

289
00:17:28,772 --> 00:17:30,512
that is haunted by a virgin ghost?

290
00:17:31,012 --> 00:17:32,212
No, all of them.

291
00:17:33,482 --> 00:17:34,512
No way.

292
00:17:35,282 --> 00:17:36,850
Can you handle all three?

293
00:17:36,851 --> 00:17:39,782
You bet I can. I am the
master of matchmaking.

294
00:17:40,522 --> 00:17:41,581
If I am to manage,

295
00:17:42,182 --> 00:17:44,752
Mother must go to Sunhwa Temple tomorrow.

296
00:17:45,861 --> 00:17:47,391
Why has she not said anything yet?

297
00:17:54,962 --> 00:17:56,032
Geun Seok.

298
00:17:56,472 --> 00:17:57,601
Geun Seok.

299
00:17:58,702 --> 00:17:59,742
Goodness.

300
00:18:01,042 --> 00:18:02,512
Why are you here so late?

301
00:18:03,171 --> 00:18:04,311
Are you...

302
00:18:04,811 --> 00:18:07,841
afraid of thunder when
you are 12 years old?

303
00:18:08,411 --> 00:18:10,850
Did you come to protect
your mom and aunt...

304
00:18:10,851 --> 00:18:12,331
from the scary thunder and lightning?

305
00:18:12,421 --> 00:18:13,482
Yes.

306
00:18:13,621 --> 00:18:15,222
So why are you standing there?

307
00:18:15,692 --> 00:18:17,252
Come and sit next to Mom.

308
00:18:23,591 --> 00:18:25,031
You want to protect us...

309
00:18:25,032 --> 00:18:26,501
when you are afraid yourself?

310
00:18:26,502 --> 00:18:29,532
A noble scholar does not fear thunder.

311
00:18:33,042 --> 00:18:34,071
It is okay.

312
00:18:34,641 --> 00:18:36,341
Shall I tell you a story?

313
00:18:36,811 --> 00:18:37,871
Yes, please.

314
00:18:38,811 --> 00:18:40,782
Which one shall I tell you?

315
00:18:41,542 --> 00:18:42,581
Right.

316
00:18:43,411 --> 00:18:46,682
I will tell you the scary one
about a woodcutter and a fairy.

317
00:18:48,121 --> 00:18:50,192
How is that story scary?

318
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,292
They part in the end.

319
00:18:55,462 --> 00:18:56,561
Lady Jung.

320
00:18:56,831 --> 00:18:58,992
Lady Park wishes to speak with you.

321
00:19:00,232 --> 00:19:01,262
Yes!

322
00:19:01,962 --> 00:19:03,371
She will leave as planned.

323
00:19:08,141 --> 00:19:11,542
A long, long time ago,
deep in a mountain...

324
00:19:12,012 --> 00:19:13,611
lived a woodcutter.

325
00:19:13,982 --> 00:19:18,151
One day, he saved a deer that
was running from a hunter.

326
00:19:24,792 --> 00:19:27,361
Mother, it is Soon Duk.

327
00:19:27,962 --> 00:19:29,022
Come in.

328
00:19:44,212 --> 00:19:45,911
I will stay at Sunhwa Temple...

329
00:19:46,311 --> 00:19:49,482
until Buddha's birthday to pray and
get a date for Ye Jin's wedding.

330
00:19:50,952 --> 00:19:51,981
Yes, Mother.

331
00:19:51,982 --> 00:19:54,682
Kim will come to Mapo on
the second day of the month.

332
00:19:55,381 --> 00:19:58,222
Give him seven bags of rice
and one bag for himself.

333
00:19:58,522 --> 00:20:00,661
That will be a total of eight bags of rice.

334
00:20:01,061 --> 00:20:03,261
When buying seafood, buy
some extra sea cucumbers,

335
00:20:03,262 --> 00:20:06,261
dried abalone, mussels, cod roe,

336
00:20:06,262 --> 00:20:07,661
and conches.

337
00:20:10,331 --> 00:20:12,101
Order ten batches of dried yellow corvina.

338
00:20:12,331 --> 00:20:14,071
Be sure they are fat with eggs.

339
00:20:14,371 --> 00:20:18,041
We need yeast to make dohwa wine,

340
00:20:18,042 --> 00:20:20,911
so be sure to order enough.

341
00:20:25,881 --> 00:20:28,321
Run the house well while I am gone.

342
00:20:29,052 --> 00:20:30,751
When you come on Buddha's birthday,

343
00:20:30,752 --> 00:20:33,921
dress Ye Jin and Geun Seok in new clothes.

344
00:20:34,421 --> 00:20:35,522
Yes, Mother.

345
00:20:36,262 --> 00:20:37,361
And you too.

346
00:20:51,811 --> 00:20:54,512
I have a lot of matchmaking
to do starting tomorrow.

347
00:20:54,712 --> 00:20:56,811
I must finish all the housework today.

348
00:20:57,111 --> 00:20:58,552
- Come along.
- Okay.

349
00:21:00,851 --> 00:21:02,080
Do your job properly!

350
00:21:02,081 --> 00:21:03,421
Goodness.

351
00:21:05,452 --> 00:21:09,121
Is that the best you can do?

352
00:21:10,432 --> 00:21:11,831
What is wrong with you?

353
00:21:13,502 --> 00:21:16,171
The place should be nearby.

354
00:21:17,932 --> 00:21:20,042
Oh, is that the place?

355
00:21:21,742 --> 00:21:23,742
I have a bad feeling about it.

356
00:21:24,742 --> 00:21:25,841
Come along.

357
00:21:26,341 --> 00:21:27,341
Go.

358
00:21:44,391 --> 00:21:47,202
A man Innkeeper Hong sent is here.
What shall I do?

359
00:21:47,561 --> 00:21:48,631
Let him in.

360
00:21:59,811 --> 00:22:03,381
Do you know what poison golden silkworm is?

361
00:22:04,682 --> 00:22:06,151
A poison that leaves no trace.

362
00:22:09,252 --> 00:22:11,851
You do not look like a translator.

363
00:22:12,452 --> 00:22:14,022
You speak Ming well.

364
00:22:14,222 --> 00:22:17,561
You speak fluent Joseon.
Have you traded for long?

365
00:22:17,732 --> 00:22:18,932
What if I have?

366
00:22:20,601 --> 00:22:23,802
Has anyone else asked for golden
silkworm poison in the past?

367
00:22:24,532 --> 00:22:28,141
You ask a merchant too many questions.

368
00:22:38,012 --> 00:22:39,881
Will you buy or not?

369
00:22:41,081 --> 00:22:43,692
You may be from Ming, but
how would I know who you...

370
00:22:45,391 --> 00:22:46,391
We will buy.

371
00:22:49,891 --> 00:22:51,462
Do you want to die here?

372
00:22:51,532 --> 00:22:52,861
Buy the thing and leave.

373
00:22:54,732 --> 00:22:56,631
It is hard to come by.

374
00:22:58,101 --> 00:22:59,542
You got lucky.

375
00:23:12,212 --> 00:23:14,851
Why did you buy this?

376
00:23:16,391 --> 00:23:17,391
Well,

377
00:23:17,651 --> 00:23:19,820
the symptoms of golden
silkworm poison mentioned...

378
00:23:19,821 --> 00:23:21,722
in a Ming book on medicine
I read recently...

379
00:23:22,091 --> 00:23:24,090
were similar to the princess' symptoms...

380
00:23:24,091 --> 00:23:25,661
from eight years ago.

381
00:23:26,032 --> 00:23:29,431
Since I procured it, if you
analyse the properties...

382
00:23:29,432 --> 00:23:31,871
My lord. Please stop.

383
00:23:32,171 --> 00:23:34,340
The princess was not poisoned.

384
00:23:34,341 --> 00:23:36,911
She died abruptly of an unknown cause.

385
00:23:47,252 --> 00:23:48,821
There are much fewer, as I thought.

386
00:23:49,252 --> 00:23:51,120
Are you not glad we did not cook too much?

387
00:23:51,121 --> 00:23:52,192
Yes.

388
00:23:52,421 --> 00:23:54,722
How did you know we
would have so few guests?

389
00:23:54,992 --> 00:23:56,591
Mother went to the temple.

390
00:23:57,091 --> 00:23:58,731
Half our guests...

391
00:23:58,732 --> 00:24:00,630
stay the night to speak with her.

392
00:24:00,631 --> 00:24:02,101
There would be fewer of them.

393
00:24:03,202 --> 00:24:05,870
I bet they all went to Sunhwa Temple.

394
00:24:05,871 --> 00:24:07,472
To see who to side with.

395
00:24:08,341 --> 00:24:10,871
The nobles' lives are just as pathetic.

396
00:24:11,141 --> 00:24:13,511
When Mother is away, there
is less work for us...

397
00:24:13,512 --> 00:24:15,282
and less work for me.

398
00:24:16,381 --> 00:24:18,881
If every day were like Buddha's birthday,

399
00:24:19,921 --> 00:24:21,561
I would not mind being a daughter-in-law.

400
00:24:24,851 --> 00:24:25,921
Oh, right.

401
00:24:26,692 --> 00:24:28,391
The Minister of Defence is here.

402
00:24:29,022 --> 00:24:30,032
What?

403
00:24:30,831 --> 00:24:32,591
Uncle is here when Mother is not?

404
00:24:34,532 --> 00:24:36,570
I had not bought it in eight years,

405
00:24:36,571 --> 00:24:38,272
and it cost a lot of money.

406
00:24:39,571 --> 00:24:42,202
Do remember anyone other than
myself could not have bought this.

407
00:24:46,311 --> 00:24:50,182
I heard the queen
prepares the food herself.

408
00:24:50,212 --> 00:24:51,611
How will you give this to him?

409
00:24:53,252 --> 00:24:54,850
How dare you hazard a guess...

410
00:24:54,851 --> 00:24:56,792
when you know nothing?

411
00:24:57,651 --> 00:24:59,121
I do know things.

412
00:25:00,292 --> 00:25:01,722
It is for the crown prince...

413
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:27,351
I was waiting for your conversation to end.

414
00:25:27,952 --> 00:25:30,722
I came to ask if you will stay for dinner.

415
00:25:30,921 --> 00:25:33,090
Mother is not home, you see.

416
00:25:33,091 --> 00:25:35,361
I will leave soon. Do
not prepare my dinner.

417
00:25:35,722 --> 00:25:36,861
Yes, my lord.

418
00:25:51,712 --> 00:25:53,411
I think she overheard.

419
00:25:53,542 --> 00:25:54,742
Will it be okay?

420
00:25:55,012 --> 00:25:56,081
It does not matter.

421
00:25:56,782 --> 00:25:59,151
She will not know what
we were talking about.

422
00:26:00,182 --> 00:26:01,321
Even so...

423
00:26:01,881 --> 00:26:03,651
You are the one who
should be more cautious.

424
00:26:20,972 --> 00:26:25,212
No one had a reason to poison the princess.

425
00:27:01,142 --> 00:27:02,183
My lord.

426
00:27:06,152 --> 00:27:08,953
Why are you coming from that direction?

427
00:27:10,352 --> 00:27:12,453
Does it matter where I come from?

428
00:27:18,533 --> 00:27:21,193
Are you here with no servant?

429
00:27:21,533 --> 00:27:24,263
You can serve me instead.

430
00:27:30,503 --> 00:27:32,172
Why are you smiling?

431
00:27:32,173 --> 00:27:35,183
I had only seen women or
children ride a donkey.

432
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:38,552
I never saw a grown man ride one.

433
00:27:38,713 --> 00:27:39,812
My older...

434
00:27:40,312 --> 00:27:44,322
All the adult noblemen I know ride horses.

435
00:27:45,092 --> 00:27:48,223
That is the fallacy of
hasty generalization.

436
00:27:49,493 --> 00:27:50,562
Pardon?

437
00:27:51,263 --> 00:27:53,732
It happens when you apply...

438
00:27:53,733 --> 00:27:57,033
your limited experience
to the general population.

439
00:27:58,632 --> 00:27:59,703
Forget it.

440
00:28:00,072 --> 00:28:02,042
I did not expect you to understand.

441
00:28:02,203 --> 00:28:03,502
Lead the way.

442
00:28:03,503 --> 00:28:04,503
Yes, sure.

443
00:28:05,872 --> 00:28:07,243
"Yes, sure."

444
00:28:16,352 --> 00:28:17,382
Goodness.

445
00:28:25,263 --> 00:28:27,332
Darn you! Are you drunk?

446
00:28:27,592 --> 00:28:29,233
They should watch where they go.

447
00:28:31,773 --> 00:28:32,832
Gosh...

448
00:28:38,743 --> 00:28:39,872
Get on your donkey.

449
00:28:40,243 --> 00:28:41,413
Gosh...

450
00:29:03,362 --> 00:29:04,502
It is a hot day.

451
00:29:04,503 --> 00:29:06,533
You should have brought the donkey.

452
00:29:07,132 --> 00:29:10,243
I did not feel like riding. Do not mind me.

453
00:29:11,342 --> 00:29:12,443
Sure, fine.

454
00:29:13,443 --> 00:29:16,683
Back when I climbed Mount
Mokmyeok with my brother,

455
00:29:17,013 --> 00:29:18,581
there were nothing but fields.

456
00:29:18,582 --> 00:29:20,783
Now there are houses here too.

457
00:29:22,783 --> 00:29:24,283
This path used to be so pretty.

458
00:29:24,723 --> 00:29:26,891
The incompetent chief magistrate...

459
00:29:26,892 --> 00:29:29,292
developed the area without a plan.

460
00:29:29,493 --> 00:29:30,493
I see.

461
00:29:30,993 --> 00:29:32,092
Is that why?

462
00:29:45,003 --> 00:29:46,673
Shoo!

463
00:29:46,943 --> 00:29:48,013
My gosh.

464
00:29:54,652 --> 00:29:56,882
Are you afraid of little dogs?

465
00:29:57,023 --> 00:29:58,023
I am...

466
00:29:58,453 --> 00:29:59,993
not afraid of them!

467
00:30:00,453 --> 00:30:02,061
I stayed still because dogs...

468
00:30:02,062 --> 00:30:04,362
tend to react even more if you move!

469
00:30:04,792 --> 00:30:08,062
You do not know anything.

470
00:30:09,033 --> 00:30:10,163
Goodness.

471
00:30:10,463 --> 00:30:12,401
She does not even know
why I acted that way.

472
00:30:12,402 --> 00:30:13,533
What?

473
00:30:17,673 --> 00:30:20,312
He is such a scaredy-cat.

474
00:30:22,243 --> 00:30:23,642
Will you slow down?

475
00:30:24,443 --> 00:30:25,953
You are so energetic.

476
00:30:27,913 --> 00:30:29,352
Do you have anything to drink?

477
00:30:36,092 --> 00:30:38,223
- Are you all right?
- I am not all right.

478
00:30:38,592 --> 00:30:40,632
I think I broke my ankle.

479
00:30:41,963 --> 00:30:43,503
- Take it off.
- What?

480
00:30:44,233 --> 00:30:46,072
Take what off?

481
00:30:46,602 --> 00:30:48,802
Your beoseon. Let me see your ankle.

482
00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:50,973
Forget it.

483
00:30:51,142 --> 00:30:53,442
I will see a physician later on...

484
00:30:53,443 --> 00:30:54,773
What are you doing?

485
00:30:57,913 --> 00:30:59,382
It is not broken.

486
00:31:01,713 --> 00:31:02,783
I know that.

487
00:31:02,953 --> 00:31:04,722
I just sprained my ankle.

488
00:31:04,723 --> 00:31:08,052
I will take care of myself. Please
move away from me, will you?

489
00:31:09,562 --> 00:31:10,861
My brother told me what to do...

490
00:31:10,862 --> 00:31:13,092
when one sprains an ankle.

491
00:31:18,902 --> 00:31:20,003
Is that it?

492
00:31:22,542 --> 00:31:24,042
Did it hurt that bad?

493
00:31:24,673 --> 00:31:26,273
You will feel fine soon.

494
00:31:26,572 --> 00:31:28,983
Did you think I did not know what to do?

495
00:31:29,542 --> 00:31:31,581
I was not prepared for that.

496
00:31:31,582 --> 00:31:33,351
You may be an ignorant peddler,

497
00:31:33,352 --> 00:31:34,852
but you should know your place.

498
00:31:35,253 --> 00:31:36,423
Get away from me!

499
00:31:38,592 --> 00:31:40,423
Why are you so angry?

500
00:31:41,352 --> 00:31:42,922
You yelled over nothing.

501
00:31:42,923 --> 00:31:44,493
Like Man of Anger.

502
00:31:46,693 --> 00:31:48,763
What did you just say?

503
00:31:50,562 --> 00:31:51,562
Oh, dear.

504
00:31:52,173 --> 00:31:53,203
Forgive me...

505
00:31:53,632 --> 00:31:55,541
for likening you to a
pathetic troublemaker...

506
00:31:55,542 --> 00:31:56,772
like Lord Gyeongunjae.

507
00:31:56,773 --> 00:31:58,102
A pathetic troublemaker?

508
00:31:58,743 --> 00:32:01,312
You have never even met Lord Gyeongunjae.

509
00:32:01,572 --> 00:32:04,683
He attended his wedding to the
princess, and that is final.

510
00:32:05,042 --> 00:32:07,712
What pathetic fool would want an annulment?

511
00:32:07,713 --> 00:32:09,253
That is a true troublemaker.

512
00:32:10,023 --> 00:32:11,082
- Goodness.
- Trouble...

513
00:32:11,953 --> 00:32:13,292
That is a lot of trouble.

514
00:32:13,792 --> 00:32:15,193
Where are the honorifics?

515
00:32:15,763 --> 00:32:16,821
What?

516
00:32:16,822 --> 00:32:18,992
You and I are from
different social classes.

517
00:32:18,993 --> 00:32:21,263
Keep a distance of at least three steps.

518
00:32:22,802 --> 00:32:23,933
Okay, fine.

519
00:32:25,102 --> 00:32:27,473
One answer will do. That gets on my nerves!

520
00:32:27,802 --> 00:32:28,802
Fine.

521
00:32:29,042 --> 00:32:30,503
Now hurry up.

522
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,651
Instead of shooting glances,

523
00:32:46,652 --> 00:32:49,062
speak up as it gets on my nerves.

524
00:33:00,402 --> 00:33:02,801
Two months might be enough
to arrange three matches,

525
00:33:02,802 --> 00:33:04,402
but not have the weddings too.

526
00:33:04,773 --> 00:33:06,611
Tradition dictates that nobles wait...

527
00:33:06,612 --> 00:33:09,812
at least six months between
their children's weddings.

528
00:33:10,413 --> 00:33:13,082
Did you think I got into
this not knowing that?

529
00:33:13,312 --> 00:33:17,423
I will have all three sisters
marry at the exact same time.

530
00:33:17,783 --> 00:33:19,322
A triple wedding?

531
00:33:21,652 --> 00:33:22,762
That is a good idea.

532
00:33:22,763 --> 00:33:24,522
How did you come up with it?

533
00:33:24,523 --> 00:33:27,632
It is customary to marry
children in order of age,

534
00:33:27,892 --> 00:33:30,092
but there is nothing against
marrying at the same time.

535
00:33:30,263 --> 00:33:32,183
It does not go against
the nobleman's tradition.

536
00:33:32,433 --> 00:33:35,001
And since the wedding takes
place at the bride's home,

537
00:33:35,002 --> 00:33:38,302
it is appropriate that the sisters
get married at the same time.

538
00:33:40,013 --> 00:33:42,612
You do know well, as a
royal inspector would.

539
00:33:44,313 --> 00:33:47,083
I am smart, and there is
nothing I do not know.

540
00:33:48,453 --> 00:33:51,223
He can be cute, just like Geun Seok.

541
00:33:51,652 --> 00:33:55,622
Is the plan to put pressure
on the unwed ladies...

542
00:33:55,623 --> 00:33:57,793
going as scheduled?

543
00:33:57,993 --> 00:34:01,433
The youngest sister will
have left the inn by now.

544
00:34:01,632 --> 00:34:02,902
Do not worry.

545
00:34:05,033 --> 00:34:06,033
Goodness.

546
00:34:10,842 --> 00:34:13,342
This is the original copy by Hwa Rok.

547
00:34:15,313 --> 00:34:16,342
Thank you.

548
00:34:18,083 --> 00:34:19,112
However,

549
00:34:19,353 --> 00:34:22,153
you promised me that I would meet
the author when Volume Two came out.

550
00:34:22,283 --> 00:34:24,552
Why would you like to meet the author?

551
00:34:26,353 --> 00:34:29,763
Many ladies bring gifts to meet Hwa Rok,

552
00:34:30,322 --> 00:34:32,322
but I have never had a
scholar ask me this before.

553
00:34:32,563 --> 00:34:33,763
In Hwa Rok's books,

554
00:34:34,033 --> 00:34:36,703
impossible things happen and
surprise you every single time,

555
00:34:37,402 --> 00:34:39,972
but the consistency of the
stories make you believe them.

556
00:34:39,973 --> 00:34:42,009
Reading Hwa Rok's books makes
me forget all my worries,

557
00:34:42,033 --> 00:34:44,603
so I wish to express
my gratitude in person.

558
00:34:47,772 --> 00:34:48,982
How inspiring.

559
00:34:52,813 --> 00:34:53,953
Meow.

560
00:34:54,513 --> 00:34:55,723
I see.

561
00:34:59,192 --> 00:35:00,552
Speak of the devil!

562
00:35:11,962 --> 00:35:12,973
Where...

563
00:35:19,342 --> 00:35:21,243
I heard you wanted to meet me.

564
00:35:22,313 --> 00:35:23,513
Are you Hwa Rok?

565
00:35:28,583 --> 00:35:30,583
I wanted to meet you too.

566
00:35:30,982 --> 00:35:32,452
I hear...

567
00:35:32,453 --> 00:35:35,092
you always pay a lot of money
to buy my original books.

568
00:35:35,692 --> 00:35:38,793
May I get your autograph?

569
00:35:39,132 --> 00:35:40,833
Yes. Of course, you may.

570
00:35:45,002 --> 00:35:47,002
What is your name?

571
00:35:47,333 --> 00:35:48,703
I am Jung Soon Gu.

572
00:35:50,572 --> 00:35:52,813
(For Jung Soon Gu)

573
00:35:55,683 --> 00:35:57,413
(Always be happy, from Hwa Rok)

574
00:36:03,353 --> 00:36:04,953
(Always be happy, from Hwa Rok)

575
00:36:09,322 --> 00:36:11,202
Your handwriting confirms
that you are Hwa Rok.

576
00:36:12,793 --> 00:36:14,662
You are under arrest
for violating the laws.

577
00:36:14,663 --> 00:36:16,362
What? My goodness.

578
00:36:19,072 --> 00:36:20,072
Gosh.

579
00:37:01,913 --> 00:37:02,913
My gosh!

580
00:37:07,913 --> 00:37:08,922
Oh, no.

581
00:37:15,692 --> 00:37:16,692
You little...

582
00:37:20,333 --> 00:37:22,462
- Oh, dear.
- Goodness.

583
00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:25,402
The house is way too small...

584
00:37:25,632 --> 00:37:27,203
for a triple wedding.

585
00:37:30,772 --> 00:37:32,102
You said it was an important royal order,

586
00:37:32,103 --> 00:37:33,989
but I suppose you have never
once visited the house.

587
00:37:34,013 --> 00:37:36,783
That makes you an armhole theorist.

588
00:37:36,982 --> 00:37:37,982
Am I right?

589
00:37:39,552 --> 00:37:41,783
No, not "armhole theorist."

590
00:37:42,013 --> 00:37:43,652
It is "armchair theorist."

591
00:37:44,052 --> 00:37:48,623
I see. It is "armchair theorist,"
not "armhole theorist."

592
00:37:48,993 --> 00:37:51,793
Please refrain from using difficult
words and phrases you do not know.

593
00:37:51,893 --> 00:37:53,393
It makes you look awfully ignorant.

594
00:37:54,632 --> 00:37:57,833
Once I learn that I am wrong,
I never get it wrong again.

595
00:37:59,402 --> 00:38:01,902
Also, do not smile like that.

596
00:38:02,103 --> 00:38:03,373
It truly offends me.

597
00:38:04,072 --> 00:38:06,071
Why does my smile offend you?

598
00:38:06,072 --> 00:38:07,772
And do not mumble like that.

599
00:38:11,612 --> 00:38:13,813
As I have made it clear to
you, I do not wish to marry.

600
00:38:14,413 --> 00:38:16,283
Why did you come all the way to my house?

601
00:38:17,723 --> 00:38:19,453
She is very beautiful.

602
00:38:19,692 --> 00:38:21,652
She must be Lady Ha Na,
the eldest daughter.

603
00:38:22,822 --> 00:38:25,493
I wish to meet your mother
and speak to her in person.

604
00:38:25,663 --> 00:38:27,132
Would you please ask her?

605
00:38:27,393 --> 00:38:29,033
I will ask her.

606
00:38:33,533 --> 00:38:35,902
As I have heard, she is strongly
against getting married.

607
00:38:37,143 --> 00:38:39,612
There are three tell tale lies.

608
00:38:39,813 --> 00:38:41,642
Old people saying they want to die soon.

609
00:38:41,643 --> 00:38:43,242
Vendors saying they are losing
profit on what they are selling.

610
00:38:43,243 --> 00:38:45,712
And spinsters saying they
do not wish to marry.

611
00:38:46,183 --> 00:38:48,651
It is not true that she
does not wish to marry.

612
00:38:48,652 --> 00:38:50,222
She is still single because
she was being too picky,

613
00:38:50,223 --> 00:38:51,752
knowing she was pretty.

614
00:38:52,522 --> 00:38:54,122
You are the master of matchmaking.

615
00:38:54,123 --> 00:38:56,293
How could you not even know such basics?

616
00:38:59,132 --> 00:39:02,063
I would say that is the fallacy
of hasty generalization.

617
00:39:02,833 --> 00:39:03,833
What did you say?

618
00:39:05,163 --> 00:39:07,572
I am a fast learner for I
understand things quickly,

619
00:39:07,703 --> 00:39:09,263
and I am good at applying my knowledge.

620
00:39:13,572 --> 00:39:14,973
She said she would meet you.

621
00:39:15,712 --> 00:39:16,783
Please come in.

622
00:39:34,192 --> 00:39:37,433
Mother, the inspector is
here with a matchmaker.

623
00:39:39,132 --> 00:39:41,002
I cannot see.

624
00:39:41,772 --> 00:39:44,643
Inspector, I heard you wished
to speak to me about something.

625
00:39:52,882 --> 00:39:54,251
I am here...

626
00:39:54,252 --> 00:39:56,623
to help your spinster
daughters get married.

627
00:39:56,723 --> 00:39:57,921
From finding suitable men
to preparing wedding gifts,

628
00:39:57,922 --> 00:39:59,091
I will take care of it all,

629
00:39:59,092 --> 00:40:00,552
so you need not worry.

630
00:40:01,652 --> 00:40:02,922
You are wasting your time.

631
00:40:04,163 --> 00:40:06,493
My daughters do not wish to marry,

632
00:40:06,862 --> 00:40:08,933
and I do not want to
force them to get married.

633
00:40:10,902 --> 00:40:13,171
Pardon me? That is absurd.

634
00:40:13,172 --> 00:40:15,132
What is absurd about it?

635
00:40:15,333 --> 00:40:17,703
If a woman stays single
past the marriageable age,

636
00:40:17,902 --> 00:40:20,302
a disaster is bound to befall
her because of her resentment.

637
00:40:20,572 --> 00:40:22,492
- Like the drought, for example.
- Two days ago,

638
00:40:22,913 --> 00:40:24,212
it rained.

639
00:40:27,083 --> 00:40:29,723
It was not enough at all
to break the drought.

640
00:40:29,953 --> 00:40:31,152
My daughters...

641
00:40:31,882 --> 00:40:33,452
chose not to get married
of their own accord,

642
00:40:33,453 --> 00:40:34,993
so they do not resent anyone.

643
00:40:35,252 --> 00:40:38,293
Hence, they should not be held
accountable for the drought.

644
00:40:39,293 --> 00:40:40,333
My lady.

645
00:40:40,833 --> 00:40:42,703
Women ought to get married,

646
00:40:42,902 --> 00:40:44,832
serve their husbands, and produce sons...

647
00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:46,171
to continue the family names.

648
00:40:46,172 --> 00:40:49,643
May I ask you why you are
neglecting your daughters?

649
00:40:50,043 --> 00:40:51,172
I am neglecting them? No.

650
00:40:51,402 --> 00:40:53,873
I am doing this for I respect their wishes.

651
00:40:54,913 --> 00:40:57,942
And rather than having to
serve their parents-in-law...

652
00:40:58,112 --> 00:41:01,013
who are not related to them in any way,

653
00:41:01,413 --> 00:41:04,051
I believe they should look
after me, their blind mother.

654
00:41:04,052 --> 00:41:06,022
It is only right.

655
00:41:07,223 --> 00:41:09,662
Now, you know that my daughters
do not need a matchmaker's help.

656
00:41:09,663 --> 00:41:11,362
Please leave now.

657
00:41:12,592 --> 00:41:13,792
My lady, but...

658
00:41:13,793 --> 00:41:15,362
Hurry up and escort them out.

659
00:41:15,692 --> 00:41:17,563
- I am tired.
- Yes, Mother.

660
00:41:18,603 --> 00:41:19,772
Please get up.

661
00:41:38,953 --> 00:41:40,322
- Wait, but...
- Please leave.

662
00:41:40,723 --> 00:41:41,821
- I will not see you out.
- Gosh.

663
00:41:41,822 --> 00:41:43,921
Your mother must be going senile...

664
00:41:43,922 --> 00:41:46,292
Goodness! How could you say
that in front of her daughter?

665
00:41:46,293 --> 00:41:47,492
Gosh, seriously.

666
00:41:47,493 --> 00:41:50,263
Did this lunatic just say
my mother was going senile?

667
00:41:51,763 --> 00:41:54,072
Everyone in the village knows
that she has a foul mouth.

668
00:41:54,272 --> 00:41:56,172
The second daughter, Maeng Doo Ri.

669
00:41:56,442 --> 00:41:57,442
What? "Lunatic?"

670
00:42:00,473 --> 00:42:01,873
Are you that old fossil in Bukchon?

671
00:42:03,813 --> 00:42:04,842
What?

672
00:42:07,313 --> 00:42:08,413
You were with that man.

673
00:42:15,922 --> 00:42:16,922
- Goodness.
- My gosh.

674
00:42:17,123 --> 00:42:18,893
Lady Sam Soon is here. Watch what you say.

675
00:42:35,813 --> 00:42:38,143
(One day ago)

676
00:42:38,243 --> 00:42:41,083
So, Hwa Rok is the youngest one...

677
00:42:41,283 --> 00:42:42,623
of the three spinsters?

678
00:42:47,192 --> 00:42:49,922
Oh, dear. I am deeply worried
about the future of this country.

679
00:42:50,723 --> 00:42:53,731
It is absurd that an unmarried woman
wrote the erotic romance novel.

680
00:42:53,732 --> 00:42:55,732
On top of that, she is
pretending to be a man?

681
00:42:56,462 --> 00:42:59,401
No one will pay a fair price
for a book written by a woman,

682
00:42:59,402 --> 00:43:01,231
so she had no choice.

683
00:43:01,232 --> 00:43:04,572
It is wrong that a woman wrote
a book in the first place.

684
00:43:04,973 --> 00:43:06,413
Men and women have different roles,

685
00:43:06,643 --> 00:43:09,111
and the line should never be crossed!

686
00:43:09,112 --> 00:43:12,342
So? You cannot do it?

687
00:43:12,683 --> 00:43:14,711
Then shall we report Lady Sam Soon
to the Capital District Office...

688
00:43:14,712 --> 00:43:16,083
and give up on this altogether?

689
00:43:25,763 --> 00:43:26,763
No.

690
00:43:27,393 --> 00:43:29,361
Making sure she gets married...

691
00:43:29,362 --> 00:43:32,132
will be the fastest way to
restore the Confucian order,

692
00:43:32,973 --> 00:43:35,933
so explain the solution
you mentioned earlier.

693
00:43:41,013 --> 00:43:42,473
He is a nobleman, after all.

694
00:43:43,013 --> 00:43:44,933
He quickly managed to
find a justifiable ground.

695
00:43:50,552 --> 00:43:53,393
Hwa Rok, what are you doing here?

696
00:43:53,592 --> 00:43:57,223
What brings you to my house?

697
00:43:57,663 --> 00:44:01,162
Pardon me? A widow and
her daughters live here.

698
00:44:01,163 --> 00:44:02,603
What do you mean this is your house?

699
00:44:03,563 --> 00:44:05,002
(Doo Ri, Ha Na)

700
00:44:06,632 --> 00:44:10,142
"Such insolence! How dare a woman
disguise herself as a man..."

701
00:44:10,143 --> 00:44:12,442
"and write a novel mocking
the scholar-officials?"

702
00:44:13,013 --> 00:44:15,143
"I will report you at once."

703
00:44:21,453 --> 00:44:22,583
Inspector.

704
00:44:22,882 --> 00:44:26,222
I believe she did it to earn money
to look after her ill mother.

705
00:44:26,223 --> 00:44:28,592
Could you let it go just this once?

706
00:44:30,192 --> 00:44:32,362
"If it happened while trying
to do her filial duty,"

707
00:44:32,592 --> 00:44:34,191
"I shall give her a chance."

708
00:44:34,192 --> 00:44:36,231
A chance? Could you please elaborate?

709
00:44:36,232 --> 00:44:39,402
"If all three of them
cooperate and get married,"

710
00:44:40,033 --> 00:44:41,533
"I will not report her."

711
00:44:46,112 --> 00:44:47,872
I will cooperate.

712
00:44:47,873 --> 00:44:48,873
Me too.

713
00:44:49,442 --> 00:44:50,482
Me too.

714
00:44:52,313 --> 00:44:53,712
Good job, everyone.

715
00:44:53,913 --> 00:44:56,233
Shall we rehearse it once more?
Be more natural this time.

716
00:44:57,322 --> 00:44:58,382
Let us begin.

717
00:45:04,962 --> 00:45:06,763
Hwa Rok, what are you doing here?

718
00:45:12,203 --> 00:45:14,732
What? This is different
from what we rehearsed.

719
00:45:15,033 --> 00:45:16,072
I know.

720
00:45:22,513 --> 00:45:24,212
Oh, no.

721
00:45:30,152 --> 00:45:31,623
What brings you here?

722
00:45:33,552 --> 00:45:36,493
Did you not see a short scholar with
fair skin coming in here just now?

723
00:45:38,362 --> 00:45:39,522
I did not see such a scholar.

724
00:45:40,393 --> 00:45:42,633
You did not see him either, right?
Oh, where did she go?

725
00:45:44,603 --> 00:45:45,703
Where did she go?

726
00:45:53,112 --> 00:45:54,813
What is my brother doing here?

727
00:45:55,212 --> 00:45:56,543
I must search the house.

728
00:45:57,342 --> 00:45:59,913
What? Why would he search the house?

729
00:46:00,353 --> 00:46:01,413
Who is there?

730
00:46:05,052 --> 00:46:06,082
My lady.

731
00:46:06,083 --> 00:46:08,422
I am the matchmaker who
came with the inspector.

732
00:46:08,592 --> 00:46:11,163
I got lost and came into the wrong room.
I shall be going, then.

733
00:46:18,362 --> 00:46:19,473
I am doomed.

734
00:46:23,603 --> 00:46:24,743
What is happening?

735
00:46:32,612 --> 00:46:34,812
I am looking for a suspect
who sneaked into your house.

736
00:46:34,853 --> 00:46:37,222
I cannot see, but I know...

737
00:46:37,223 --> 00:46:39,663
that there is no one else other
than that woman in this room.

738
00:47:00,112 --> 00:47:03,612
Well, this is...

739
00:47:05,842 --> 00:47:06,882
Please excuse me.

740
00:47:14,393 --> 00:47:15,453
Did he...

741
00:47:16,092 --> 00:47:18,592
not recognize his own sister?

742
00:47:25,533 --> 00:47:26,533
Wait, this is...

743
00:47:28,232 --> 00:47:30,603
Stop, will you?

744
00:47:30,873 --> 00:47:32,502
Only women live in this house.

745
00:47:35,873 --> 00:47:38,473
You suddenly blocking me like this
makes it look more suspicious.

746
00:47:39,212 --> 00:47:40,252
What?

747
00:47:40,482 --> 00:47:43,183
That old fossil from Bukchon also
said he never saw such a man.

748
00:47:48,052 --> 00:47:50,393
I did not see him, so please leave.

749
00:47:51,522 --> 00:47:52,862
Did something happen?

750
00:48:08,842 --> 00:48:09,842
Goodness.

751
00:48:15,252 --> 00:48:16,482
Who are these people?

752
00:48:52,552 --> 00:48:53,921
If you want to check,

753
00:48:53,922 --> 00:48:55,652
search the house quickly and get lost!

754
00:49:08,933 --> 00:49:10,543
I checked everything I needed to know.

755
00:49:10,772 --> 00:49:12,973
I will be off, then.
I apologize for the trouble.

756
00:49:23,322 --> 00:49:26,322
I thought he was different for
he was after the real culprit.

757
00:49:27,393 --> 00:49:29,223
But of course, he is another one...

758
00:49:30,123 --> 00:49:32,404
of those thoughtless fools
who never question the system.

759
00:49:34,263 --> 00:49:36,861
Inspector, I suggest you stop being rude...

760
00:49:36,862 --> 00:49:38,033
and leave too.

761
00:49:43,743 --> 00:49:45,841
Now that all three of you are here,

762
00:49:45,842 --> 00:49:47,572
I have something to say.

763
00:49:48,873 --> 00:49:50,841
My sisters all feel the same way as I do,

764
00:49:50,842 --> 00:49:52,083
so do not waste your time.

765
00:49:53,683 --> 00:49:56,481
Once you hear me out, you
will change your mind.

766
00:49:56,482 --> 00:49:58,022
Do you not agree?

767
00:49:58,353 --> 00:50:00,422
That officer from the
Capital District Office...

768
00:50:01,793 --> 00:50:02,922
is after you, Hwa Rok.

769
00:50:07,433 --> 00:50:08,433
You little...

770
00:50:28,882 --> 00:50:30,453
Let me sum it up for you again.

771
00:50:30,623 --> 00:50:34,392
All three of you must cooperate to
get married before the end of May.

772
00:50:34,393 --> 00:50:37,263
What did I say would happen
if you were uncooperative?

773
00:50:37,663 --> 00:50:39,522
Just say it once for
we remember everything.

774
00:50:40,533 --> 00:50:42,053
Do not ask us to repeat what you said.

775
00:50:44,203 --> 00:50:45,433
But the thing is, Inspector...

776
00:50:45,563 --> 00:50:48,373
What if things go south even if
we did our best to cooperate?

777
00:50:49,203 --> 00:50:50,542
Then it is not our fault, right?

778
00:50:50,543 --> 00:50:51,842
"What if things go south?"

779
00:50:53,043 --> 00:50:56,813
You are being uncooperative by
using such vulgar expressions.

780
00:50:56,913 --> 00:50:58,841
Try your best to watch what you say...

781
00:50:58,842 --> 00:51:00,152
- Darn you!
- Goodness.

782
00:51:00,652 --> 00:51:02,572
This is just how I am!
What do you want from me?

783
00:51:10,092 --> 00:51:11,092
What?

784
00:51:14,592 --> 00:51:15,793
Where did everyone go?

785
00:51:18,203 --> 00:51:20,123
This is just how I am!
What do you want from me?

786
00:51:25,902 --> 00:51:27,043
What is the matter?

787
00:51:27,313 --> 00:51:28,941
Where have you been?

788
00:51:28,942 --> 00:51:31,842
I was asking them to be cooperative.

789
00:51:32,712 --> 00:51:34,982
You were asking us? As if.
You are threatening us.

790
00:51:35,853 --> 00:51:37,082
Agreed.

791
00:51:37,083 --> 00:51:38,952
Even our mother does not
want us to get married.

792
00:51:38,953 --> 00:51:41,492
You call yourself a scholar, and
yet you are using our weakness...

793
00:51:41,493 --> 00:51:43,192
to force us to be unfilial? How petty.

794
00:51:43,462 --> 00:51:45,623
It makes me truly angry, and
this is extremely unfair.

795
00:51:46,223 --> 00:51:47,263
"Petty?"

796
00:51:47,763 --> 00:51:48,892
I am forcing you to be unfilial?

797
00:51:48,893 --> 00:51:52,333
I now have your mother's
permission to be your matchmaker.

798
00:51:59,272 --> 00:52:02,143
Mother told you to go
ahead and find our matches?

799
00:52:02,772 --> 00:52:03,782
No way.

800
00:52:03,783 --> 00:52:06,183
Ask her directly to find out
whether or not it is true.

801
00:52:06,382 --> 00:52:07,783
Let me introduce myself first.

802
00:52:08,183 --> 00:52:10,822
I am here to provide you with
satisfactory matchmaking service.

803
00:52:10,982 --> 00:52:12,422
I am Lady Yeoju.

804
00:52:13,223 --> 00:52:16,191
Oh, you are the famous
master of matchmaking,

805
00:52:16,192 --> 00:52:17,422
Lady Yeoju.

806
00:52:18,922 --> 00:52:20,933
My gosh. I look forward
to working with you.

807
00:52:22,462 --> 00:52:23,763
What are you saying?

808
00:52:23,902 --> 00:52:25,782
Whose fault is it that
we are in this mess now?

809
00:52:26,232 --> 00:52:28,672
The eldest one, the middle
one, and the youngest one.

810
00:52:29,072 --> 00:52:30,543
I have now met all of them.

811
00:52:31,502 --> 00:52:33,872
Who knew Lady Sam Soon would run
in, being chased by the officer?

812
00:52:33,873 --> 00:52:35,153
I was not expecting that at all.

813
00:52:35,473 --> 00:52:37,142
I did not expect that
Lord Maeng's daughters...

814
00:52:37,143 --> 00:52:38,982
would be so weird.

815
00:52:40,353 --> 00:52:42,211
While I was gone, you followed my advice...

816
00:52:42,212 --> 00:52:43,881
and threatened Lady Sam Soon's sisters...

817
00:52:43,882 --> 00:52:46,652
that you would report her. Well done.

818
00:52:47,123 --> 00:52:50,222
You must know this by now,
but I am good at everything.

819
00:52:50,223 --> 00:52:53,123
Anyway, you are sure they
can all get married, right?

820
00:52:53,893 --> 00:52:55,033
Yes, of course.

821
00:52:55,462 --> 00:52:57,862
You said you would report Lady Sam Soon,

822
00:52:58,063 --> 00:53:00,703
so Lady Ha Na and Lady Doo
Ri will certainly cooperate.

823
00:53:00,902 --> 00:53:02,732
It is almost a done deal.

824
00:53:03,002 --> 00:53:04,882
Lady Sam Soon was being
chased by my brother...

825
00:53:05,272 --> 00:53:06,442
No. I mean...

826
00:53:07,612 --> 00:53:09,643
That officer was really after her,

827
00:53:09,712 --> 00:53:11,782
so everyone believed you when
you said you would report her.

828
00:53:11,783 --> 00:53:13,212
It all worked out.

829
00:53:14,482 --> 00:53:17,482
It seems like you are so used to
swindling others in this manner.

830
00:53:18,283 --> 00:53:19,482
"Swindling?" No.

831
00:53:20,092 --> 00:53:21,793
It is one of my matchmaking skills.

832
00:53:23,763 --> 00:53:24,793
Oh, right.

833
00:53:30,433 --> 00:53:32,333
You said you were very smart.

834
00:53:33,203 --> 00:53:36,272
That is correct. I am the
smartest man in Joseon.

835
00:53:36,802 --> 00:53:39,502
Then do you know what the Agent of Love is?

836
00:53:40,643 --> 00:53:42,611
It is a mountain spirit with
a knack for matching couples.

837
00:53:42,612 --> 00:53:44,183
It appears in a Goryeo folktale.

838
00:53:46,013 --> 00:53:48,382
You truly know everything.

839
00:53:48,882 --> 00:53:51,752
If there is anything you do
not know, feel free to ask me.

840
00:53:51,982 --> 00:53:55,692
Then could you find out more
about the Agent of Love?

841
00:53:57,422 --> 00:53:58,522
Why?

842
00:53:59,723 --> 00:54:00,793
Please excuse me.

843
00:54:05,462 --> 00:54:06,462
Did he...

844
00:54:07,232 --> 00:54:09,672
not recognize his own sister?

845
00:54:23,652 --> 00:54:24,652
My lady.

846
00:54:24,653 --> 00:54:27,092
I am Lady Yeoju, a matchmaker from Hanyang.

847
00:54:29,522 --> 00:54:31,022
I do not mean to brag,

848
00:54:31,223 --> 00:54:34,263
but I am known as the master of
matchmaking among noblewomen.

849
00:54:34,862 --> 00:54:36,162
The couples I have matched...

850
00:54:36,163 --> 00:54:38,361
all truly love each other
and conceive easily.

851
00:54:38,362 --> 00:54:39,861
Especially families with daughters...

852
00:54:39,862 --> 00:54:43,402
Are you trying to tell me that
you are the Agent of Love?

853
00:54:45,772 --> 00:54:48,373
I do not know what that is,

854
00:54:49,043 --> 00:54:51,182
but I am trying to tell
you that I am confident...

855
00:54:51,183 --> 00:54:53,712
I can find suitable
husbands for your daughters.

856
00:54:53,853 --> 00:54:54,913
Forget it.

857
00:54:55,313 --> 00:54:56,953
If all my children get married,

858
00:54:57,123 --> 00:54:59,022
who will look after this blind woman?

859
00:55:06,362 --> 00:55:07,433
Why are you...

860
00:55:08,592 --> 00:55:10,862
saying something you do not even mean?

861
00:55:12,833 --> 00:55:15,033
What happened five years ago?

862
00:55:16,072 --> 00:55:17,973
In the past,

863
00:55:18,203 --> 00:55:20,688
you wanted your daughters to get
married, just like other mothers.

864
00:55:20,712 --> 00:55:22,873
Do not run your mouth like
that when you know nothing.

865
00:55:24,243 --> 00:55:25,313
Over there.

866
00:55:26,583 --> 00:55:28,813
The seal on the lovebird
painting tells me...

867
00:55:29,252 --> 00:55:31,092
that it was painted in
the Year of the Rabbit.

868
00:55:31,552 --> 00:55:32,852
Did you not get it...

869
00:55:32,853 --> 00:55:34,922
as a wedding gift for your eldest daughter?

870
00:55:35,522 --> 00:55:36,892
Wishing her...

871
00:55:36,893 --> 00:55:38,993
a happy marriage.

872
00:55:43,433 --> 00:55:44,833
The government...

873
00:55:45,002 --> 00:55:47,603
plans to wed all the spinsters,

874
00:55:48,203 --> 00:55:49,532
so if you remain stubborn,

875
00:55:49,533 --> 00:55:52,672
your daughters might have to marry
men who are not suitable for them.

876
00:55:53,103 --> 00:55:54,712
I want to prevent just that.

877
00:55:57,942 --> 00:56:00,382
Were you the matchmaker
behind the marriage...

878
00:56:00,953 --> 00:56:04,322
between Lord Ha and Lord An's families?

879
00:56:04,723 --> 00:56:06,521
Yes, that is correct.

880
00:56:06,522 --> 00:56:08,522
It is one of the marriages I take pride in.

881
00:56:09,052 --> 00:56:10,861
The two families support
different factions.

882
00:56:10,862 --> 00:56:12,623
How did you think to match them up?

883
00:56:15,893 --> 00:56:19,402
They looked so lovely together
that I could not help myself.

884
00:56:19,902 --> 00:56:21,833
You probably will not believe me now,

885
00:56:22,502 --> 00:56:24,143
but I can see it,

886
00:56:25,302 --> 00:56:28,172
whether or not they will be compatible.

887
00:56:30,283 --> 00:56:31,603
Let me ask you one more question.

888
00:56:32,743 --> 00:56:35,913
Why are you hiding your identity
to act like a lowborn matchmaker?

889
00:56:44,623 --> 00:56:46,022
You cannot answer.

890
00:56:46,893 --> 00:56:48,533
That answers my question.

891
00:56:55,302 --> 00:56:56,873
I want you...

892
00:56:57,672 --> 00:56:58,973
to be my daughters' matchmaker.

893
00:57:03,072 --> 00:57:05,381
The Agent of Love appears in folktales...

894
00:57:05,382 --> 00:57:07,252
and may not actually exist.

895
00:57:07,382 --> 00:57:09,252
They could possibly exist, no?

896
00:57:09,683 --> 00:57:11,882
I am asking because I think
I am an Agent of Love.

897
00:57:11,982 --> 00:57:14,892
This is really important to
me, so please help me out.

898
00:57:14,893 --> 00:57:16,021
Forget it.

899
00:57:16,022 --> 00:57:17,562
I am busy enough with matchmaking.

900
00:57:17,563 --> 00:57:19,263
I do not have the time to look into that.

901
00:57:21,592 --> 00:57:23,091
All right, then.

902
00:57:23,092 --> 00:57:26,032
Once I finish this case,
I will find out myself.

903
00:57:26,033 --> 00:57:28,671
I shall take my leave. Please excuse me.

904
00:57:28,672 --> 00:57:29,802
Wait.

905
00:57:30,172 --> 00:57:33,342
You have not said anything about
your plans for the spinsters.

906
00:57:34,313 --> 00:57:36,373
I will let you know the day after tomorrow.

907
00:57:36,712 --> 00:57:40,083
Please come to the library
at the inn at this time.

908
00:57:40,382 --> 00:57:41,453
Goodbye.

909
00:57:41,683 --> 00:57:44,223
Wait... My goodness.

910
00:57:47,752 --> 00:57:49,453
For a merchant,

911
00:57:49,623 --> 00:57:51,723
why is she so busy?

912
00:58:07,990 --> 00:58:10,260
I see. Here it is.

913
00:58:10,490 --> 00:58:11,790
On the Agents of Love.

914
00:58:14,660 --> 00:58:17,299
Wait, I think I once
saw it in a Goryeo book.

915
00:58:29,339 --> 00:58:30,580
Here it is.

916
00:58:31,339 --> 00:58:32,950
My memory is impeccable.

917
00:58:34,910 --> 00:58:36,620
It has been a while since I saw you here.

918
00:58:37,220 --> 00:58:38,220
Oh, my.

919
00:58:40,819 --> 00:58:43,790
Your Highness. What brings
you here at this time?

920
00:58:44,419 --> 00:58:46,660
This is the library in my quarters.

921
00:58:46,930 --> 00:58:49,459
I should be the one asking.
What brings you here?

922
00:58:50,299 --> 00:58:52,999
I thought you have read all the books here.

923
00:58:55,669 --> 00:58:58,399
I was looking for a book from Goryeo.

924
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,179
"Agents of Love?"

925
00:59:06,180 --> 00:59:08,349
They are like deities who can identify...

926
00:59:08,350 --> 00:59:09,850
one's soulmate.

927
00:59:10,379 --> 00:59:13,019
It is related to the
task His Majesty gave me,

928
00:59:13,020 --> 00:59:14,419
so I was looking into it.

929
00:59:14,990 --> 00:59:16,790
Those deities sound interesting.

930
00:59:18,089 --> 00:59:19,958
If Agents of Love do exist,

931
00:59:19,959 --> 00:59:21,859
can they find my soulmate too?

932
00:59:25,669 --> 00:59:26,969
Your spouse will be chosen...

933
00:59:26,970 --> 00:59:29,499
by the Queen's quarters
through a selection process.

934
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:32,469
Agents of Love could just be a folklore...

935
00:59:32,470 --> 00:59:34,069
made up by the uneducated commoners.

936
00:59:34,910 --> 00:59:36,709
Do not say that.

937
00:59:36,910 --> 00:59:39,450
What the people want shall
become the deities' will.

938
00:59:39,979 --> 00:59:42,350
Even if marriage is just for
carrying on the family name,

939
00:59:42,450 --> 00:59:44,179
wanting a good spouse...

940
00:59:44,180 --> 00:59:46,720
is something the people and
I would both desire, right?

941
00:59:53,189 --> 00:59:56,059
Most influential Agents of
Love until the Goryeo era...

942
00:59:56,060 --> 00:59:57,660
were women,

943
00:59:57,999 --> 00:59:59,998
and as Joseon was a nation
built on Confucianism,

944
00:59:59,999 --> 01:00:01,669
they slowly disappeared.

945
01:00:02,740 --> 01:00:04,369
One in 10,000 humans are born...

946
01:00:04,370 --> 01:00:06,910
with the ability to
identify one's soulmate,

947
01:00:07,310 --> 01:00:09,639
and people with that special ability...

948
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,279
existed in every era.

949
01:00:11,740 --> 01:00:15,279
Since the Silla times, they
were called Agents of Love.

950
01:00:24,660 --> 01:00:26,958
I think I know why...

951
01:00:26,959 --> 01:00:29,399
I keep going around to seek people's fates.

952
01:00:31,700 --> 01:00:34,330
Ever since young, I have
brought couples together.

953
01:00:34,430 --> 01:00:36,439
I can totally see that happening.

954
01:00:37,770 --> 01:00:40,040
And now I do matchmaking services,

955
01:00:40,439 --> 01:00:41,870
despite the risks.

956
01:00:41,970 --> 01:00:43,839
I thought you were doing it for money.

957
01:00:44,939 --> 01:00:45,979
That is not why.

958
01:00:47,810 --> 01:00:48,819
I think...

959
01:00:50,049 --> 01:00:51,950
I am an Agent of Love.

960
01:00:52,390 --> 01:00:53,589
What is that?

961
01:00:55,959 --> 01:00:59,189
Oh, I am planning to find out more.

962
01:00:59,359 --> 01:01:02,629
But they are deities who
can identify one's soulmate.

963
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:06,200
How incredible, right?

964
01:01:06,930 --> 01:01:09,568
That must be why I am
obsessed with matchmaking.

965
01:01:09,569 --> 01:01:10,970
I was born for this.

966
01:01:12,939 --> 01:01:15,208
To be honest, I wondered
if I was abnormal...

967
01:01:15,209 --> 01:01:17,240
for wanting to meddle in love.

968
01:01:18,479 --> 01:01:20,350
But it was because I am an Agent of Love.

969
01:01:21,979 --> 01:01:25,720
"Agent of Love."

970
01:01:26,189 --> 01:01:28,859
Even the title sounds cool.

971
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,169
She drinks a lot these days.

972
01:01:40,169 --> 01:01:41,629
Is something bugging her?

973
01:01:50,510 --> 01:01:54,479
Please look after Ye Jin
until she gets married.

974
01:02:19,910 --> 01:02:21,839
Look after her yourself, my dear.

975
01:02:23,709 --> 01:02:25,810
Why are you asking me?

976
01:02:27,049 --> 01:02:29,249
After all, Ye Jin likes you.

977
01:02:36,990 --> 01:02:38,290
I...

978
01:02:40,359 --> 01:02:43,330
started liking Ye Jin
because she likes you.

979
01:03:14,890 --> 01:03:16,999
Why did you have to leave so soon?

980
01:03:19,999 --> 01:03:21,330
What was the hurry?

981
01:03:50,529 --> 01:03:52,129
Come, this way.

982
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:03,810
What is this commotion?

983
01:04:07,180 --> 01:04:08,249
Wait.

984
01:04:08,810 --> 01:04:11,520
Why did you unload these at our place?

985
01:04:11,879 --> 01:04:14,620
We are acting on behalf of the matchmaker.

986
01:04:16,060 --> 01:04:17,060
Lady Yeoju?

987
01:04:19,859 --> 01:04:22,060
Sorry that I am not Lady Yeoju.

988
01:04:22,629 --> 01:04:25,499
The Minister of Defence said...

989
01:04:25,660 --> 01:04:28,029
he would take your eldest
daughter as his concubine.

990
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,169
Did you just say the Minister of Defence?

991
01:04:31,439 --> 01:04:34,169
Yes. Although you will
just be his concubine,

992
01:04:34,310 --> 01:04:36,180
he got a matchmaker for the process.

993
01:04:37,209 --> 01:04:40,180
Your marital home will be a new
tile-roofed house in Pil-dong,

994
01:04:40,450 --> 01:04:42,850
and he also sent you two servants.

995
01:04:42,950 --> 01:04:47,089
Such conditions would be appealing
even for young, marriageable ladies.

996
01:04:47,249 --> 01:04:50,520
Nonetheless, she is a noblewoman.
Being a concubine is...

997
01:04:50,660 --> 01:04:53,688
You heard the rumours. She is
lucky to even get this offer.

998
01:04:53,689 --> 01:04:55,829
How can you get married
without my permission?

999
01:04:55,830 --> 01:04:57,100
Oh, my.

1000
01:04:57,299 --> 01:04:59,399
I thought the discussions were settled.

1001
01:05:00,729 --> 01:05:02,200
I guess not.

1002
01:05:03,899 --> 01:05:06,910
I will not approve of this wedding.
All of you, leave.

1003
01:05:07,310 --> 01:05:08,810
Arrest the criminal!

1004
01:05:09,010 --> 01:05:10,040
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

1005
01:05:10,910 --> 01:05:13,248
- What criminal?
- Why is my mother a criminal?

1006
01:05:13,249 --> 01:05:14,809
- What are you doing?
- Move aside!

1007
01:05:14,810 --> 01:05:16,148
- Mother.
- Let go of me.

1008
01:05:16,149 --> 01:05:17,350
My mother is not a criminal.

1009
01:05:17,879 --> 01:05:19,720
Mother. Mother!

1010
01:05:23,620 --> 01:05:24,660
My lord!

1011
01:05:25,589 --> 01:05:27,359
Goodness. What is the fuss?

1012
01:05:28,490 --> 01:05:32,029
The old ladies' mother was arrested
by the Capital District Office.

1013
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,430
How unexpected. What was her crime?

1014
01:05:34,729 --> 01:05:37,498
It seems like she got into
trouble for refusing...

1015
01:05:37,499 --> 01:05:39,040
Minister Park's marriage offer.

1016
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,109
Her eldest daughter is 24 years old, right?

1017
01:05:44,910 --> 01:05:46,748
Since she is a filial daughter,

1018
01:05:46,749 --> 01:05:49,450
she will end up accepting
the minister's offer.

1019
01:05:51,220 --> 01:05:54,389
I have lived to see the day
where the ignorant magistrate...

1020
01:05:54,390 --> 01:05:56,790
and the lewd minister are
useful to me for once.

1021
01:05:58,089 --> 01:05:59,430
Let us head to the inn.

1022
01:06:01,629 --> 01:06:02,629
But...

1023
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:16,279
My goodness.

1024
01:06:16,439 --> 01:06:18,040
Were you the one behind it?

1025
01:06:18,310 --> 01:06:20,080
What are you talking about?

1026
01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:22,148
If a woman cannot marry past the age of 24,

1027
01:06:22,149 --> 01:06:24,479
her parents can be punished by law.

1028
01:06:24,950 --> 01:06:28,519
I am asking if you made Lady Ha
Na marry the Minister of Defence.

1029
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,659
Well, about that...

1030
01:06:30,660 --> 01:06:33,560
Is it not a good thing that the
eldest girl can finally marry?

1031
01:06:34,129 --> 01:06:35,490
I had my doubts.

1032
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,899
So you were the one who
came up with that idea.

1033
01:06:39,700 --> 01:06:41,669
I am utterly disappointed in you.

1034
01:06:42,870 --> 01:06:44,870
You are disappointed in me?

1035
01:06:45,700 --> 01:06:46,770
For what reason?

1036
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,609
Since you broke your promise
and went against my methods,

1037
01:06:53,879 --> 01:06:56,879
the contract between us is over as of now.

1038
01:06:59,220 --> 01:07:00,520
From now on,

1039
01:07:01,020 --> 01:07:05,620
I will do my best to make sure you
can never carry out your orders.

1040
01:07:28,850 --> 01:07:31,819
(The Matchmakers)

1041
01:07:50,739 --> 01:07:52,498
When a marriage prospect appears,

1042
01:07:52,499 --> 01:07:54,868
it is a felony for the
parents to reject him.

1043
01:07:54,869 --> 01:07:56,509
It will be worth a lot.

1044
01:07:56,510 --> 01:07:58,979
I will finally have what I want
thanks to Lord Gyeongunjae.

1045
01:07:58,980 --> 01:08:00,878
You can come up with an excuse easily.

1046
01:08:00,879 --> 01:08:03,878
Until when do I have to clean up after you?

1047
01:08:03,879 --> 01:08:06,588
Lady Ha Na and I will settle this by noon.

1048
01:08:06,589 --> 01:08:07,788
Please stall time for us.

1049
01:08:07,789 --> 01:08:10,819
No one will suspect you. Do not worry.

1050
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:11,859
Wait!

1051
01:08:11,860 --> 01:08:14,389
How dare you? Please open up!

1052
01:08:14,390 --> 01:08:16,298
Do you know how long it takes...

1053
01:08:16,299 --> 01:08:18,298
for a man and woman to fall for each other?

1054
01:08:18,299 --> 01:08:21,829
I am not the kind of
man who disappoints you.

1055
01:08:36,579 --> 01:08:39,419
(The Matchmakers)
