PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Ma'am.
The royal helicopter was just approved to make an emergency landing on KU Building.
His Majesty is coming to Seoul? At this hour?
Men usually do this when their girlfriends miss the last train or bus.
When their girlfriends went to Seoul and missed the last train back to Busan.
But there's no way His Majesty has a girlfriend.
What could it be?
Did you have an appointment with her?
No way.
I'm here to pick you up.
But I have to keep a low profile.
If they see you, just who will they think you are?
Don't worry.
I'll try not to look suspicious.
You are a fool.
The situation is already quite suspicious.
I'm seeing you at an unexpected hour, in an unexpected place,
with an unexpected person, Your Majesty.
You're right.
And you've put me in an awkward situation.
This is a very personal occasion.
I should have given you a heads-up
since you would be notified of this.
I'm sorry I kept you at work.
When it comes to the country’s affairs, personal occasions are business too,
and you are my country.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Koo Seo-ryeong, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Corea.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm a big fan.
I'm flattered
to have such a young and beautiful fan.
May I ask your name?
I'm a traveler.
I'm honored just to be able to see you like this.
I'm leaving soon.
This is my first time in the Kingdom of Corea.
I feel like I'm in a storybook.
It's your first time here, but you speak our language well.
Well...
I studied liberal arts.
Let's call it a day, Prime Minister Koo.
I don't have much time today.
You have a long journey ahead.
After you, Your Majesty.
I will send you off.
Okay, then. See you on Friday.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Are you worried I might fall for Prime Minister Koo?
Don't worry.
I know someone prettier.
That's right.
She's that person.
Your gaze was saying a lot.
Wow.
What are you looking at?
The moons are the same.
Do you also have...
Later.
What?
Do we also have what?
Do you also have the myth about rabbits living on the moon?
There are no rabbits on the moon, liberal arts student.
The moon is the closest celestial body to the earth--
The surface of the moon is covered with regolith.
I smile for you. But you...
You smile at moments like that.
Why are we in the kitchen?
Are you going to have me sleep here tonight?
If you're staying the night, I'll have you sleep in my bedroom.
Now that Secretary Mo knows, almost everyone around me knows about you.
Let's eat.
Yeong told me
that you didn't eat anything but one sandwich all day.
I'm repaying you
for the half and half.
You didn't give me money on purpose, right?
You knew we had different currencies.
Right.
You don't have buttons.
I didn't want you to go far away.
That's why I sent Yeong.
The credit limit was 100,000 won.
I borrowed it from him, so pay it back for me.
I will.
I was
traveling around today,
and I realized you must have been lonely in my world.
Were you lonely here?
It was frustrating to not have something
that could prove my identity.
Thanks for coming to pick me up.
Would you come here for a second?
-Do you need any help? -Look at me.
I want to pat your head, but both my hands are busy.
It doesn't seem like your first time.
What do you mean? Dating?
Why? You didn't get any results from web-searching?
Why do you cook so well?
I thought you were making me some instant noodles.
You said it didn't taste good.
It was good.
That's why I didn't believe that you cooked it yourself.
Head Court Lady Noh taught me how to cook.
The only food that I don't need tasted is the food I cook myself.
I saw you looked it up online.
"Prince Imperial Geum" and "Lee Lim."
You...
seem to have grown into a fine man.
I guess you now know
what root you are standing in front of.
It's my hell
and my history
that was engraved on my body
by the greed of the person that killed my father and strangled me.
Which is why I was raised amid my uncle's worries
and Head Court Lady Noh's tears.
And that's the reason why Head Court Lady Noh isn't nice to you.
Don't be upset about it.
Is that it?
After hearing a story like this, don't you have to either give me a hug
or at least say you would give me one?
Aren't you going to show me my ID card?
I need to go now.
I won't let you go.
You have to live here.
I'm serious. I won't let you go.
I can keep you here
with just one command.
What are you doing?
Well, I heard from the news earlier
that there will be a cold wave starting from tonight.
It'd be nice to take you to my place, but you won't.
Can I not watch the news in the night duty room?
My mom bought this from a pyramid scheme company.
It doesn't mean she's into it. She only purchased their product.
But it's really soft and warm.
Blankets are innocent.
It kind of looks like it's paying for its sins though.
What's that?
I have it on when I sleep. Lavender helps you sleep soundly.
You sleep with things like that every night?
Yes.
Actually, I grew up sheltered and--
Get out.
Okay. I will see you tomorrow.
Good night.
VIOLENT CRIMES DIVISION SQUAD 3
Hello, is this the police?
I'm behind the playground near Samjung Apartment Complex.
Six boys are beating one kid.
Is she crazy?
Hey, hang up the phone already. Do you want to die?
Yes. I'm Jeong Tae-eul, a student of Bukchon High.
The six bullies are wearing the uniforms of my school.
What are you waiting for? Go take her phone.
You crazy bitch. Do you have a death wish?
Hey.
I know your face
and I know where you live.
Hey!
I know your face too.
So don't you think of fleeing.
I'm a black belt.
But when it's two against six, it counts as self-defense.
I don't go easy on men.
It's your fault. You've spoiled him!
We should probably have the kid transferred.
Seriously, when will you grow up?
-Where are you going? -None of your business. Out of the way.
I said, where are you going?
Anywhere. Why?
Why would you go anywhere?
Come to this place.
Come and start over from a white belt.
Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
You're not following any of these.
I had perseverance. That's why I let them beat me.
Then you can start with a yellow belt.
I can't cut you any more slack. Put them on.
HEROES TAEKWONDO CENTER
VIOLENT CRIMES DIVISION SQUAD 3
Yes.
Did you check the facts?
Okay.
Summon the NSC right now
and cancel all my appointments for tomorrow.
I thought you'd need it, so I made it easy for you.
I'm sure you won't find anything, though.
We have our eyes on her too
because she's committed various crimes like theft and assault.
What is she called again?
Luna.
You know, the one we were chasing last time.
Captain Jo.
Sorry I had you come all the way to the palace.
Don't worry. I was on my way home anyway.
This is what I talked about on the phone.
I will get back to you as soon as we find a match.
Okay.
MINISTRY OF NATIONAL SECURITY NSC SUMMONED AT 10:00 P.M.
-I will be waiting. -Okay.
Take your time.
I will show you the ID card after you finish it.
Thanks for the food.
Steak and rice in a hot pot. It's my signature dish.
Everyone falls for it.
I can see why.
You should ask me whom I cooked it for.
I said it to make you jealous.
I can't beat that person anyway.
Whoever it is, that person must be from this world.
I have been carrying it around ever since you came here.
I didn't show it to you because I was afraid you might leave.
But...
you've already gone somewhere much further away than your world.
Take a look.
JEONG TAE-EUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
The navy jacket.
It's mine.
It's my ID card.
How does this make sense, though?
It's definitely mine.
Did you say it's been here for 25 years?
Someone dropped it here.
But my memories are fading away.
I'm not sure if I can recognize that person.
But...
I feel like the person will appear before me at least once.
Why?
Because that person is either the beginning
or the end of all this.
It seems like a difficult question to solve,
but there must be a simple and beautiful formula for it.
And you are the answer I have been looking for.
From now on, I will prove it one by one.
Whoever it is, and whichever world the person is from,
you've beat that person.
So don't you decide alone to leave like that.
Your Majesty.
Prime Minister Koo has assembled the NSC.
I wanted to send you back in the morning,
but I guess I should let you go earlier than that.
I don't think I can see you off.
Don't worry about me.
NSC is the National Security Council.
Did something happen?
At 2230 hours, the battleships of the Japanese Navy led by the Aegis
are moving toward the south-southeast of Dokdo.
Prime Minister Koo urgently assembled the NSC to respond
to Japan's unusual activity, foreshadowing a strong response.
This is a strict warning.
Your ship is near the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Corea now.
Stop sailing further.
We are warning you again.
Stop sailing further.
Japan insists that the search radar the Yi Sun-sin Destroyer
used to search fishing boats is a fire-control radar,
and it shows the Kingdom of Corea's intention of attack.
What about the Chinese fishing boat? Was it rescued?
It's still underway.
The weather conditions in the East Sea are poor at the moment.
If the Prime Minister reaches out, put me on the phone.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please bring my guest's belongings first.
And I will explain the situation myself.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's this?
JEONG TAE-EUL
This is the control room.
It's me. Could you please confirm
if anyone has come into my room since last night?
That would be difficult.
As you requested, we've had Gwangyeongjeon restricted
from everyone in the palace since 8:00 p.m. yesterday.
All the CCTVs are off as well.
Did something happen?
I will call you back.
According to the rules of engagement,
we made a warning announcement and are now defending ourselves.
I see.
What are the features of the Japanese battleships?
SM-2, SM-3, and SM-6 missiles are loaded on the Japanese ship Aegis,
as well as ASROC.
And ASROC is--
It's an antisubmarine missile.
That's right.
-We have it too, don't we? -Yes, we do.
We sent an Aegis that is loaded with Tomahawk missiles as well.
Prime Minister Koo.
This isn't the first time Japan has done this.
Why don't we talk them into going back for the sake of our relationship?
We can't start a war every time this happens.
Maybe it keeps happening
because we never have started a war.
This is the third time this year.
The first two times, we talked them into going back.
And this time, they came back with an Aegis ship.
What do you think will happen the fourth time?
We don't know until it happens.
They are just throwing a tantrum before the trade negotiation.
War isn't easy.
Let's make more warning announcements and wait.
Wait for what?
Did we order food?
The Japanese Navy is now sailing toward our territorial waters.
At this rate, they will enter our waters in 20 minutes.
You all heard that.
If you want to wait, do so when you become Prime Minister.
I will not stand for this anymore.
I want all the troops to prepare for action.
Prime Minister Koo.
You know we need the permission of His Majesty.
I do.
Call the Royal Palace.
The Aegis and three more battleships of the Japanese Navy
are currently sailing toward our territorial waters.
I commanded our troops to prepare for action.
Of course, there is a lot of opposition.
Politics must not be considered regarding national security.
Did you do so?
The future of our 400,000 soldiers and 90 million citizens is on the line.
No political idea was taken into account.
If you say so, I was thinking of a different approach.
By "a different approach," do you mean...
I will do just as my ancestors did.
Your Majesty.
When two countries are true to themselves, a war breaks out.
Japan is true to themselves,
so we must be true to ourselves too.
We won't sit back and watch.
Not even by one centimeter and one millimeter can Japan enter
our territorial waters.
Your Majesty.
I know you're busy at the moment,
but something in the palace was stolen.
The guest's ID card is gone.
I tried my best to keep it secure, but I guess it wasn't enough.
I will find out who did it and--
Head Court Lady Noh.
I know this might sound odd,
and I can't explain why,
but I feel that everything that is happening now was meant to be,
and it was all set in motion 25 years ago.
Why are you suddenly saying that?
I will explain further when I get back.
Just wish me good luck for now.
Your other talisman actually worked.
Please take the talisman with you.
Actually, the talisman is supposed to be used that way.
Could you two give us a moment?
I will give this one to you.
It seems it was supposed to be passed on to you.
I hope this doesn't put you in trouble.
JEONG TAE-EUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
So you were in the navy?
I left the military as a Navy Lieutenant.
I'm not sure if you'll believe this,
but I'm the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Corea.
I believe you.
Finally.
You said your country was about to go to war with Japan.
So this was what was happening in the Kingdom of Corea.
The Royal Family puts on military uniforms at the most honorable time.
It means we will certainly win.
I will come back to you with honor.
It won't take long.
"Come back"?
Will you wait for me?
I will see you again, Gon.
I thought my name was not supposed to be spoken,
but I guess it was only supposed to be spoken by you.
I'M BORED, LET'S PLAY POOL
Who won the pool game?
Sorry for the late reply. I went somewhere.
I'm fine if you're fine.
Jangmi won the game.
Could you wash your hands quickly and help me with the eggs?
Dad.
You must have been startled.
I tried to contact you,
but I was Alice in Wonderland.
So I couldn't call you or anything.
You must have been really worried.
I'm so sorry, Dad.
Were you not at home?
You didn't know?
No, I didn't.
Goodness! Go peel the eggs.
So you didn't know.
Peel all of them.
Where were you, though? Were you working undercover?
Forget it.
Hey, by the way, the horse in the yard is gone.
Did the owner take it back?
Obviously, you don't care
about where your daughter went,
but you wondered where the horse went.
There will be no conversation between us for some time now.
For a long time.
How could the owner take the horse without telling me?
I even made him coffee.
We talked a lot in front of the horse.
He shouldn't have said that he likes it here.
He could have at least said goodbye.
Gosh.
I can't believe it.
Could you not think out loud?
How could he sneak out with the horse like that?
Let's eat.
Dad...
He said he would come back soon,
but he didn't come back for a long time.
The culprit is heading to the building!
-Why are you coming out of there? -I'm sorry, sir!
Damn it. Where should I go?
Not there.
No, no. Okay!
Where? Okay.
You brat!
I wasn't holding my phone
as if I was waiting for someone.
I was just waiting on Earth,
which has become slightly rounder.
There was no way I could know
what was happening in his world.
Because he was a person who was beyond one and zero.
His Majesty is on board!
I wished I could come back as a reserve, but here I am, Captain.
I knew you would come like this.
I will be
the last crew member to leave this ship today.
Please protect the sea of Corea.
The Navy of the Kingdom of Corea wins before fighting.
I'm honored to have you fight with us.
This is the King's Flag.
Lieutenant Commander Han Jun-yeol. I receive the King's Flag.
Attention!
Salute the King!
Salute!
And the Chinese government expresses remorse that Japan has almost caused
the death of Chinese citizens
and escalated the situation to the current standoff.
The Chinese government expressed deep remorse that Japan
caused a confrontation which might result in civilian casualties.
The anchor asked the reason for Japan's provocation and the reporter is answering.
Your Highness, we will see if there's an earlier flight.
Sounds good.
It could also be a strategy to soothe the citizens
who are dissatisfied with their economic policies.
They might've assumed that a female Prime Minister
who doesn't have any knowledge of war
would choose negotiation over confrontation.
I've always been the first to strike when someone looks at me funny.
Prime Minister Mitsuda has made a mistake.
We have an ace in the hole.
His Majesty has boarded the Yi Sun-sin Destroyer.
What?
But...
Current position: Longitude 131.53 degrees east,
latitude 37.15 degrees north.
Distance to the enemy, 2,500 yards. Direction, 20 degrees.
Distance to the enemy, 2,400 yards. Direction, 20 degrees.
Distance to the enemy, 2,300 yards. Direction, 20 degrees.
The weather doesn't seem good.
Wave height?
Currently, it's below one meter, but it's rising quickly.
Captain, we might be able to take advantage of the sea state.
We are going to win anyway, so let's do it quickly.
Yes, Your Majesty. The entire fleet is ready for action.
Good.
Hoist the King's Flag. The entire fleet will go full speed ahead.
Full speed ahead to both sides.
Full speed ahead to both sides!
General, all of the Corean ships have started to maneuver.
Starboard observation report.
Direction, 270 degrees.
-We've located a flag on an enemy ship. -A flag?
That's...
the Kingdom of Corea's King's Flag.
That King's Flag means that the King himself is on the ship.
Report to headquarters.
Yes, sir.
Connect me to headquarters.
Sir, this is the General of the First Fleet,
Omura.
We have been outfoxed by the King of Corea.
Come to your senses.
This is not a crisis, but an opportunity.
Since their king is on board,
they will focus on their defense instead of attacking.
Push your ships 1,000 yards into the Kingdom of Corea's territorial waters.
Let the world watch
the King of Corea run away like a coward.
-Omura. -Yes, sir.
All ships sail 1,000 yards into the Kingdom of Corea's territorial waters.
All ships full speed ahead!
Dear God.
Please help us.
Please grant my Lord the fortune of war.
Please let my desperation take the wind away,
and please let my prayer bring victory to him on the waves.
Dear God.
Please help us.
Please grant my Lord the fortune of war.
Distance to the enemy, 1,500 yards. Direction, 10 degrees.
Territorial waters violated by 700 yards.
We should have stopped His Majesty at all cost.
The enemy is so close, they are visible to the naked eye.
At this rate, we can't ensure His Majesty's safety.
You invaded the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Corea.
Leave the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Corea.
I repeat.
Leave the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Corea.
The enemy ships won't slow down, Your Majesty.
It may be really dangerous from now on.
We must change our strategy and focus on defense.
Captain Jo. Lieutenant Commander Han.
From now on, I'm the only one who worries about me.
What you must protect today is not me,
but this sea.
Do you understand?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Action stations.
Speed Boat Fleet 203 will block them in the front.
We will press the Aegis coming from the back.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Action stations.
Action stations!
Follow the enemy ships!
Full speed ahead to both sides.
We are ready to go full speed ahead.
To the enemy ships!
Flying Squadron Six, P-3C. Attack.
Activate the close-in weapon system.
-Activate the close-in weapon system! -Your Majesty.
This might be seen as an attack.
Then it's a war.
Japan is in our territorial waters. Warning shots are a generous response.
And it will be our last generous response.
I will listen to you, Major Choe.
Do you want to
stop me too?
I have been training men for 30 years not to back off in situations like this.
Your wish is my command.
I will crush them.
I knew you would say that.
Get ready to shoot the Aegis from 30 yards ahead.
Fire
the warning shot.
Enemy ship, Yi Sun-sin Destroyer at 800 yards.
Yi Sun-sin Destroyer, 700 yards.
Ship halted.
Captain! Guided missiles have been detected.
The enemy ship's missiles have aimed at our ship.
They plan to shoot us if we move.
The King of the Kingdom of Corea is determined to go to war against us.
These are the Kingdom of Corea's territorial waters.
Things are not...
looking good.
All ships stop maneuver.
Distance to the enemy, 700 yards. Direction, 5 degrees.
The Japanese naval fleet stopped sailing.
It seems our message is well-conveyed.
Let's wait a bit.
But not too long.
IMAGINARY FLOWER
I bought it in that world.
It's made in the Kingdom of Corea.
I told you.
I told you there is no wind, no rain, no sun, and no time here.
Flowers don't bloom here.
We don't know that
if no one has sown seeds yet.
I know you're from a different world,
but you should sprout.
Your friends are in a much harsher place now.
IMAGINARY FLOWER
Currently at 7:40 a.m., the Japanese naval fleet
has completely left our territorial waters.
I would like to extend my deep respect to the soldiers and His Majesty
for fighting courageously for the country.
Japan will soon make an apology and an announcement about compensation.
We will abide by international law in the same circumstances
and fulfill our duties.
Until Japan's official apology, the Kingdom of Corea will stop
exporting the rare-earth elements
to Japan.
The graph of your approval rating looks amazing.
It's skyrocketing every minute.
The turbulence worked in my favor.
It has been unnecessarily peaceful.
If you had not become a Prime Minister, you would have made a lot of issues...
-Why didn't you put on comfortable shoes? -These are my combat shoes.
Have we heard from China yet?
Right.
It seems that they would like to visit the palace first.
They are trying to set the date with the Royal Court.
It seems that China is taking matters about the visa with them.
What's with the priority? Such talk should be done with me.
They should just send a panda to the Royal Court.
It's not a panda, but I have a present for you.
I won a court lady over who works for the Royal Wardrobe.
I like the package.
It seems that there has been a mysterious guest at the palace.
The security was strangely tight, so no one has seen her face,
but it is assumed that His Majesty brought her.
It's nice to meet you. I'm a big fan.
I saw her.
Pardon?
Congratulations. You were right.
She was young. I'm prettier, though.
Next week's state administration report will be done personally.
And make sure to find something about that woman before that.

will be developing a training program for the health workforce in Thailand--
It's just the news.
Why on earth did he record the news as a voicemail?
Gosh, it feels so refreshing after the workout.
It really does. Are you all right?
Yes, I'm all right.
What now?
Why is she spacing out again?
Maybe she just checked the physical fitness test schedule.
Tae-eul, did you check the schedule?
We have a physical fitness test next week.
I saw it.
Jangmi. You...
Have you ever searched for a person?
I have searched for run-away children, fathers, housewives, and even dogs.
I specialize in run-away people.
Is she ignoring me right now?
Come on.
Hey, it seems like you think I forgot about the Lee Sang-do case, but--
Let's put Lee Sang-do's wife on the wanted list.
-Hey. -Her children are young.
I'm sure she would like to have them transferred.
I'll send an letter to the Education Office
and stop by their office before work tomorrow.
Look at you trying to get the head start.
The day after tomorrow is the due date. Did you find the evidence?
I know it's the day.
It's a week before the physical fitness test.
This is why you should always be ready.
Do you understand, Jangmi?
I will get going.
Is she a sociopath?
You will understand once you become as old as us.
Should I have done this?
Try guessing what I just proved.
The fact that I've dated before?
Or...
that I'm dating right now?
Why won't you answer?
Do you want me to tell you?
You should keep it to yourself.
I'm dating right now.
Take off your clothes.
Is that your answer?
I didn't see this coming.
Do you have a strange scar on your shoulder?
Who told you that?
Did you make that weird scar on his shoulder too?
Eun-sup in your world is asking if I made the scar.
It's not necessarily false.
I got the scar from when I went to see you.
Not all of them.
Then tell me exactly how many.
You got me too excited.
Two.
That won't be enough to see my shoulders.
They are really broad.
Forget it. You can't see it now anyway.
Why? Is it luminous?
-If you're so curious, turn off the light. -I'm not curious.
I just didn't want to take the blame.
Go now. I'm sleepy.
It's more difficult to cross this line...
than it is to cross universes.
Fine.
I will get going.
Make sure to sleep well.

NOTES
All she really did was search the internet.
She didn't leave anything behind.
Your Majesty,
please allow me to visit you for a second.
After your visit, I found this at the Royal Wardrobe.
But there are many things that I don't know.
I wasn't sure if this is something that you lost
or not.
Leave it here.
It's mine.
So she did leave something.
I'm thanking you.
Have a good night.
I'm having a good night
thanks to you.
Yes, Your Majesty.
There you are.
I asked you to have dinner with me, but you made me eat alone.
Rice with beans, spinach soup, and spinach frittata.
You decided on the menu today, didn't you?
I have no appetite.
They say
there's a thief in the palace, but I can't find that brat.
It's driving me crazy.
Anyway, did you finish all the food?
You told me to think of it as medicine.
When you're like this, you're still a baby.
I don't understand how you even go to the battlefield.
Will you now tell me
what you said you would tell me or should I wait?
Did Uncle Buyeong
call?
He came back from the conference.
I called him and said you came back to the palace safely.
Then he said, "That's good" and hung up the phone.
You taste all my food,
examine every cloth,
every piece of furniture, and every item that comes into the palace.
And you suspect every person that enters the palace to protect me.
You also
hid the Manpasikjeok in the whip and protected it.
May I ask why?
Well...
It's just what I had to do, Your Majesty.
What the traitor, Lee Lim,
tried to steal that night was the Manpasikjeok.
So I had to protect it.
I had to hide it from him.
When Lee Lim's dead body was found,
the first thing I did was to look for the other half of the Manpasikjeok,
but I failed to find it.
I heard the corpse was drifting in the sea for quite some time.
I told myself that it must have gone back to the Dragon King of the East Sea,
just like the myth.
And it relieved me.
I'm also
relying on a myth.
That's why I'm waiting for Uncle Buyeong.
I'm not telling you the stories in detail
not because I want to hide it, but because I don't know yet.
So I want you
to find the thief
while I look for something else.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will find the thief.
There's no match to the fingerprint?
No. Nothing at all.
Does the fingerprint belong to a foreigner?
Then...
Did you catch the woman called Luna?
Well, not yet.
Why is the Royal Court looking for Luna, though?
It's confidential. Please be understanding.
Did you get the CCTV footage that I asked for?
Yes, I did. But...
I'm not sure if I can say I have the footage or not, though.
It doesn't show anything interesting.
She seems to know where exactly the CCTV cameras are.
None of them show her face.
Okay. I will call you back.
Please hold on.
Let me take a picture of you.
It's for security.
What just happened?
Tell me about it.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Isn't my lipstick color weird now?
I think he's trying to take pictures of me. Unbelievable.
I don't think so.
You don't know. That's what it is.
I think I know him better than you do.
I'm his uncle.
What?
Could you please zoom in Camera 21?
Okay.
Is one of these women Luna? Tell me which.
This is her.
This is Luna.
Goodness. Look.
Look how wealthy she looks now after stealing others' money. Gosh.
Where is she now?
Tell me when you find her, okay?
You and I aren't too different. We both use force to do our jobs.
You are the Royal Guard! And I'm a gangster!
Are you out of your mind?
My world has just collapsed, you prick.
Yeong, is everything all right?
You came to work late today.
Everything is all right.
Should I come back later, Your Majesty?
That might be better.
Gosh.
My neck hurts.
I know something is up.
What is it?
What is this?
What strangled your wrist?
Is it the same kind of wound as the one on your shoulder?
No.
This is not that.
This mark shows that
there's someone who comes in and out of my heart.
It's kind of tight, though.
As if my heart is going to burst.
Your Majesty, Prince Buyeong has just entered the palace.
Where is he now?
How was the conference?
It was a mess.
I couldn't focus on the presentation
because you were on the battlefield.
Please stay healthy.
You know you are the only one I have.
That's why
it's a very precious and sad life.
For me
and you.
That is why
I wished you would never ask me about that incident.
But at the same time,
I knew you would ask me about it someday.
About the traitor Lee Lim's real cause of death.
This is the death certificate
where the real cause of Prince Imperial Geum's death
is written.
Lee Lim was killed
not by the Royal Guards but by the fracture of the cervical spine.
He got his neck broken and then was thrown into the ocean.
How strange is that?
What's even stranger
was that Lee Lim was a man with the body of a big warrior.
But the corpse we found
showed signs that it was born with poliomyelitis.
Not to mention its appearance,
its fingerprints and even blood type matched with Lee Lim.
That odd corpse confused me,
and that is why I hid it from you.
You have been hiding it for quite a long time.
It's not a minor crime
to lie about the death
of a traitor of the nation
and a high-profile criminal.
I know that, Your Majesty.
That's why
I have been feeling guilty my entire life.
I would like to free myself from that guilt now.
If you ever find out the truth behind that odd incident,
will you please tell me?
What truth could lay behind that body?
I have been curious about it my whole life.
Although I do not deserve it,
I would like to know as a doctor.
Yes! Popsicles!
-Thank you. -Eat it.
Yes, sir.
Yes! This one's my favorite.
-Leave it there. It's for someone else. -Okay.
-There are popsicles in the fridge. -Yes! Popsicles.
This one's my favorite.
But that's...
Jangmi, briefing.
Right.
I went to the Office of Education
and I found that Lee Sang-do's wife didn't have her children transferred.
I checked if she changed the address on her registration, but she didn't.
She's still registered in Seoul.
She will eventually have to have them transferred.
She's a mother after all.
-Keep your eye on it. -Yes, ma'am.
-Give me the big one. -Goodness.
You know, other senior officers are happy to see their juniors eat.
I'm not like that.
Did you find something regarding the Lee Sang-do case?
Sin-jae,
do you trust me?
I do. What is it?
Now you say you trust me, it's even harder to tell you.
I will tell you when things are clearer.
There's something, but it's more like science fiction.
I will tell you when it becomes science.
Here's your milk tea.
Thank you.
You seem new. Do you live in this neighborhood?
It's my first time here, but I think I will visit more often.
I love this neighborhood.
It's lovely, right? Please come again.
It's quite rainy.
It seems that a typhoon is coming.
Be careful.
There are many typhoons in summer,
but typhoons in winter
cause the most damage.
What's wrong?
You should be careful.
I told you not to run!
Goodness, I left the laundry outside to dry.
Seriously.
What's up, Kka-bi?
Did you not see the man's face?
It was so strange.
It was really scary.
What about his face?
Was he very ugly?
How could you not see it? I'm the only one scared here.
He was like a monster.
Kka-bi, you shouldn't be like that with others' faces. It's not right.
You never know what will happen to your face later.
-How could you say that to a little boy? -What?
Stop crying. I'm here for you.
I have got your back.
Good. I'm glad we have you. Let's go now.
It's pouring. Let's go inside.
What could have been so weird about his face?
Let's go. Hey, wait up!
Head Court Lady Noh had a good reason to worry.
I am
in danger now.
AUTOPSY REPORT NAME: LEE LIM
Lee Lim, the traitor, is alive.
What had been added to Lee Lim
was the gate to the other world.
If the purpose of his treason had been the Manpasikjeok,
since I have its other half,
he will definitely
come to me to retrieve it.
HERO TAEKWONDO CENTER
Have you
been doing well?
Have you been waiting for me?
Head Court Lady Noh was wrong.
Jeong Tae-eul is not a danger to me.
I am
a danger to Jeong Tae-eul.
Has something happened to you? Were you threatened by someone?
I guess that means it will happen.
My heart is in need of consolation.
So I will hold your hand.
One of the doppelgangers always ends up dying.
I will shoot him if you order me to.
We found the woman called Luna.
The same face exists.
Prince Imperial Geum.
I can't protect you here, Your Majesty.
He should know it already.
When you meet the person...
You must kill him as soon as you find him.
It's a King's order.
