It was you.
You were that person.
I will not forgive you.
I will take your life.
EPISODE 12, DANCING ON TOP OF A SWORD
EPISODE 12
Do you now understand who the owner of this palace is?
I almost shot you. I mistook you as prey.
Are you sure that you didn't accidentally miss the mark?
That is a misunderstanding.
Remember your place.
I should get changed.
Yes, Your Majesty.
There is something that the Department of Justice must do.
Did you have to do that to O Wol?
What did I do?
Did you have to and kill her?
Did you have to throw her into the well after you killed her?
Did you have to do that...
to that innocent girl just to threaten me?
I killed her?
Why would you have such a misunderstanding?
I refuse to kill any living thing...
unless it's for cooking.
Finding her body in the well is either an awful coincidence...
or someone is trying to come between us.
Continue denying until I get even more furious.
My gosh, this is driving me crazy. I really didn't do it.
Why do you have such a negative opinion of me?
Because that is who you are.
The Kim So Yong that I know is someone who would do that.
How do you know me so well when I don't know myself?
A liar is best at lying to themselves.
You are fooling yourself which is why you do not know who you are.
I think you and I have crossed a line that we can't return from.
I won't pay any mind to whatever misunderstandings you have about me.
So do as you please.
RABBIT
Who caught her?
We worked so hard to go after her, so who dared to...
Looks like we have a winner. We should start heading back.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Yes, Your Highness.
That's blood.
Darn it.
Are you insane? That hurts like crazy.
I apologize. My hand slipped.
- Why you little... - Are you okay, Your Highness?
Even if it is made of cotton, it must still hurt.
Your Highness. What on earth are you...
I'll get back at you.
You're dead meat.
Seriously?
I'll let it go today for the sake of my dear consorts!
- Because I'm her superior. - Of course, Your Highness.
Go to Huijeongjeon Hall.
I will help you get changed...
There is someone who is trying to interfere with the banquet,
so I will go alone.
All these people who have gathered here today...
will regard the King as someone with power.
Everything that has been said about the King...
and his nickname, the Woodcutter Prince of Ganghwa Island,
will become nothing more than false rumors.
The King was so adamant about holding a banquet.
He must have chosen it as the day to appear...
in front of the Royal Court with a new image.
What on earth were you doing...
while he was preparing himself?
I apologize.
However,
I have also prepared something in advance for the King,
so keep an eye out for it.
I hope you prepared it properly.
Consort Hong.
One point.
Royal Noble Consort Eui. Two points.
Consort Min.
Four points.
Consort Yoon. She also has four points.
The Queen.
10 points.
Oh, my.
As a result, the winner is the Queen.
The Queen Dowager will present the award.
You said you would just enjoy the process.
Did you practice in secret?
As I'm a natural-born performer,
I'm better in the real game.
Congratulations, Your Highness.
- Congratulations, Your Highness. - Congratulations, Your Highness.
How cunning of her.
We must go to the Royal Palace for the banquet.
We still have time before the banquet starts,
so you may all get some rest.
I am sure you must be tired after the hunting game.
- Yes, Queen Dowager. - Yes, Queen Dowager.
Did it hurt a lot?
Oh, this?
I can see why Eunuch Kim was so afraid of this event.
Your Highness. You should return to Daejojeon Hall...
and change into an outfit for the banquet.
Right. I should get some rest while we're there.
- Of course. - The back of my head still hurts.
My goodness.
We must hurry. There is not much time left until the banquet.
Why did she do that?
I am certain that someone is trying to come between us.
Who?
Someone who knows about the bad relationship regarding the well.
Within the Palace, there are three types of history that continue.
The veiled enmity between women,
the fight for power in the Royal Court,
and death by poison.
Is that why you're always talking about poison?
I have lived in the Palace for decades,
and I saw many people die from various types of poisons.
Deadly poisons that kill after one sip.
Hidden poisons...
that slowly poison you and appear as death from illness.
They were not revealed,
but I am sure that there were many deaths...
that were caused by poison.
Right. The Palace is a very dangerous place.
Come to think of it, the man that looked like Mr. Han...
Right. That guy.
Hold on.
So she turned around...
Did she see my face? I do not think she did.
That is why I ran away.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I caught you.
Court Lady Choi.
Go and find out who that guy is. The guy who was talking to...
the Head Inspector just now.
I bet my dragon balls which I don't have now,
that his last name is Han.
The banquet will start soon.
It can't start.
As long as that guy is roaming around.
Pardon?
Then what will happen to the Royal Chef?
That jerk.
Why is everything the same as what I went through?
And Cheoljong doesn't even know what's going on.
A person must live as they look to have no regrets.
I'll be myself and ignore it.
But I'm sure that guy put something in the water.
Was it poison?
Gosh, no way.
Even if the Palace is a brutal place,
would he really commit a mass poisoning to ruin the banquet?
No way.
See? Anxiety and fear are contagious.
Darn it.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the scene of the crime to get evidence.
If you go that way, it's Daejojeon Hall.
My mind is going back and forth and so is my sense of direction.
Wait for me, Your Highness!
It smells a bit like grass.
What did he put in here?
You must not, Your Highness.
Right?
We are in trouble.
Your Majesty.
I prepared as much as I could.
The banquet will start soon, but the ingredients have not arrived.
Even if it is late, the ingredients will come.
Trust me and do not give up.
I will try to come up with something as well.
Just give up.
You will feel better if you give up, you fool.
My Queen.
You already know that this won't work out.
Even if you do your best,
you'll only end up hurting yourself and the people around you.
Then should I stay still like a corpse and suffer in their hands?
I cannot do that.
I will do my best to go as far as I can.
If that hurts you,
just ignore me.
Oh, right. We're not supposed to touch each other.
Okay. I get it.
Your Highness. Why would you say something you do not even mean?
What do you mean?
Even when I'm talking nonsense, I do it with my whole heart.
I never say anything I don't mean.
You are worried about him.
You are afraid that the more he tries, the more he will get hurt.
Why would I?
Worrying about celebrities and the King...
is the most meaningless thing to do.
Recently, whenever you say something you do not mean,
you always say something strange.
I knew it. He poisoned the water.
Hey. Where's the Royal Chef?
He was just here.
No!
Did he run away?
He acted like he had such a great work ethic,
but he ran away to survive.
Then what will happen to the banquet today?
The King worked so hard for it.
There are no ingredients and the head chef ran away.
It's over.
Then should I stay still like a corpse and suffer in their hands?
I cannot do that.
I will do my best to go as far as I can.
My gosh.
Hong Yeon. You're going to have to do some work.
Goodness. Thank you for your hard work.
HAN SHIM ONG
Okay. Thank you for your hard work.
What is the name of the man who just left?
Why are you asking?
I am asking for a good reason.
I cannot tell you.
Gosh.
If I leave my unpredictable Queen alone at the banquet,
she might cause trouble.
My gosh. It has been a while.
I caught a cold.
Let me borrow this. Thank you.
Rice. Rice! There is rice!
- Rice! Wait. - Rice! There is rice.
- Come. - There is rice.
- Rice! - Get it.
- Take the rice. - Hurry.
- Take it.
- What is that? - What?
Rice!
My goodness. My loyal customer!
As it so happens, I have a lot of killer items today.
I have no time for this.
You got the wrong person.
What?
That is her.
Why are there so many temptations today?
However, I, Court Lady Choi, cannot be tempted.
You are a court lady. Do you need to talk to me?
You have kept your ability a secret from me...
all this time and have not done a thing to make your skills useful.
It must have been quite torture to just sit back and watch.
I am used to it, so it does not affect me.
I see.
All right. Will this do?
Are you sure you are not the man in this kaleidoscope?
Gosh. I told you it is not me in there.
I will be honest with you. I could tell at a glance...
that he has a chiseled body just like I do.
Unfortunately, that is not me in there.
It is a great honor to have engraved a name...
of the man with his resemblance.
My gosh. That was nothing. By the way,
is he that popular among court ladies nowadays?
I do not think "popular" is the right word to describe it.
It is like a fever among court ladies.
My gosh. I did not know that I was that handsome.
Gosh.
So your name is...
Shim Ong of the Han clan.
In full, your name is Han Shim Ong.
CONFIDENTIAL
Do not forget.
When the banquet is at its peak...
and when the King is at his peak,
it is your cue to bring out the ledger.
CONFIDENTIAL
Hey, you.
I have a favor to ask you.
Can you give this to that person over there for me?
Who?
Over there.
I see. Okay.
My lord.
That young master asked me to give this to you.
There is something I must tell you in my clan's honor.
I will wait for you at the pavilion.
That cannot be.
Are they onto us?
You are here.
I have something to tell you.
I know this is rude of me, but I asked you here.
My clan is as precious as my own life.
However,
after spending countless nights in deliberation, I have decided.
I decided to choose something that is more important than my clan.
If my clan does not allow it,
I will...
leave my clan.
Now, I want to be the one and only handsome man in your eyes.
Are you pulling a prank on me? I already have a busy day as it is!
It was delivered to the wrong person.
What have I done?
- My stomach. - My goodness.
- Stick out your tongue. - I think I am dying here.
Stick it out more.
My stomach.
You ate something with poisonous herbs.
- My stomach. - Oh, no.
I think someone spiked it with ground knotgrass.
Hey, guys.
- I am dying here. - What?
What?
Goodness. What brings you here?
The Queen has sent me here.
Her Highness told me to look into the water.
Someone added poisonous herbs that would cause stomachaches.
Darn it. The water was the problem.
How come you are fine?
As you can tell with my looks, I am quite a sensitive.
So I cannot even drink a drop of water when I am nervous.
You look like you can doze off...
in the field, full of exploding cannonballs.
You call yourself a royal physician. You are awful at reading people.
I am a royal physician, not a physiognomist.
I am a skilled physician,
but I do not think they can fully recover today.
With all of them like this, even if we receive the ingredients...
Who in the world did this?
I have not seen him before.
Are you the one who poisoned the water?
His Majesty sent me here for the banquet preparations...
as a guest chef.
My name is Lee Saeng Mang.
I have come to your rescue.
Here.
Anyone can tell it is Her Highness the Queen.
Don't you think so?
Nonsense! Why are you calling that man the Queen?
Goodness, what is wrong with your eyes?
The Queen is busy watching the dance. Why would she be here?
Officially,
she is at the banquet at the moment, you know?
Oh. I get it now.
A tomato?
What are you talking about?
This is a persimmon that only lives a year.
Are you from the boondocks or what? You little punk.
How can a chef not even know what this is?
Gosh, how dare you call me a punk?
We are both chefs. What is wrong with calling you a punk?
- Right? - Yes. You little punk!
Hey, wrong timing.
You abandoned the kitchen and ran off.
Don't call yourself a chef.
What are you talking about?
I went to Naenongpo to find something that can...
alleviate their stomachaches.
Naenongpo?
Yes, Naenongpo. The Royal Farm.
You do not know anything.
Let me see what you brought.
Cooking begins with finding good-quality ingredients.
In the Royal Farm,
do they raise chickens too?
I think I can try something if you can get me some eggs.
Your stomach is growling already.
I bet you have not eaten since yesterday to pig out today.
The fact that you know that tells me...
you have not eaten anything since yesterday either.
The banquet, which you insisted on holding today,
will begin shortly.
I am looking forward to it.
Every banquet at the Blue House had a theme...
because it was a political meeting, never just a meal.
What would be good?
What's the goal of this banquet?
What's this?
The menu put together by the King himself.
And this is the full guest list.
So this is the menu "erection" you guys were talking about.
I'm going to come up with a new menu with these ingredients.
How did it go?
I apologize, Your Majesty.
I spoke with the bandits, but they were not after the ingredients.
Finally, the banquet is starting.
You said it would be a formal royal banquet.
Is this the only dish that will be served?
This is unfit to be called a royal meal.
No way. Is this it?
I am certain more will follow.
Your Majesty, could you please explain this?
The people starve every year due to famine.
And many of them starve to death.
To be reminded of their pains,
I prepared a rather humble meal that the commoners usually eat.
I truly admire Your Majesty's intentions behind this,
but "humble" is not the right word to describe this.
I understand that Your Majesty wanted to enlighten the ministers,
but we cannot serve this to the noblemen...
who came all the way here for this banquet.
I agree.
Serving them this when they were invited as guests...
is no better than punishment.
The food may not meet your expectations, but I hope...
you all see my meaningful intentions behind it.
30 MINUTES AGO
It'll go through the whole thing like this.
What is this doodle for?
Pass me a potato. I'll make a sample and show you.
This needle has finally found its purpose.
Now, heat some oil on the stove.
Oil?
How dare you deep-fry my precious needle?
Calm down. I'll sterilize it for you.
Do you know what that needle means to me?
My master gave it to me. It was made 50 years ago!
Calm down.
50 years? Then it has done its duty.
No! I want to keep using it!
I want to pass it down to my disciple too!
Don't you dare put it in there!
There we go.
It looks nice and balanced with the needle at the center.
And this way, you can cook even the inside very quickly.
How did you come up with this brilliant idea?
When you make street food, you have to fight against time.
It's perfect for an urgent situation like this.
"Street"?
You don't need to know, but it's like a war zone.
This survived a fierce battle.
Here.
Peel the potatoes.
Me?
Then who else?
I heard you need rice taffy?
I was told to check on the progress.
Peel it carefully.
Make it as thin as possible. Thinner than that.
That's it.
The tip has to be sharp. Make it sharper.
We're going to pierce a potato with it.
Well done.
- The flame over here is too strong. - Okay.
- Make this one stronger. - Will do.
All right. I want you all to keep this in mind.
What we're making today is more than just ordinary food.
We're making the President's face.
I mean, think of it as His Majesty's face.
Is this good enough, Your Highness?
I mean, Chef?
Let's see.
Good job.
I really hope Cheoljong understands the idea behind all this.
So this is the humble dish of the common people?
Am I the only one who did not know what the people eat these days?
YONGSU POTATO
Although my intention may be noble,
I still must treat my guests properly.
So I have used simple ingredients,
but I have come up with a new theme.
The first dish of the banquet is a potato dish.
This is a potato?
It is not a simple potato dish.
The name of the dish is...
Spring...
like a coil?
Yongsu Potato!
All right.
It resembles the whisker of a dragon.
It is called Yongsu Potato.
It is a lucky dish for a lucky day.
Nonetheless, it is still a mere potato.
A dragon? That is a bit of stretch, Your Majesty.
If we did not have potatoes,
we would have lost more lives every day.
Rustic-looking potatoes...
can grow well even in a barren land and are easy to store.
This becomes the main staple of the people during the barley hump.
This is a sacred ingredient that saves people's lives.
It is more than "a mere potato".
Please try it.
My gosh. This is very delicious.
But this is quite a new mouthfeel.
Right State Councilor, you must be very hungry.
This is a potato?
There are three seasonings in front of you. As for the green one,
this is the pine salt made of...
bay salt and pine needles from Hwaseong Palace...
in the district of the Namyang Hong clan.
This light red powder is wild grape sugar.
Sugar? When the common people do not even have barley?
If we can get through the barley hump with this splendid dish,
I would have nothing to worry about all year round.
This is powder taffy which the people enjoy.
It is mixed with wild grapes from Mount Gamak...
where the Papyeong Yoon clan has put down roots.
It adds a beautiful color and fragrance to sugar.
The yellow sauce is made of peaches.
This is made with the best peaches...
from Yeoju where the Yeoheung Min clan resides.
The theme of today's banquet is harmony.
Politics divide people.
But delicious food brings people together.
I hope you can taste the harmony of the three clans...
who are here today with us.
I'll dice and stir-fry sweet potatoes, zucchini, and eggplants.
And I'll make whole tomato stew by puffing it up...
with broth and the eggs.
This novel idea...
of eating the vessel would make them go crazy.
You're still not done yet?
Not even close.
I got the barley powder and bean powder.
I got all sorts of powder I can get and am kneading it.
The dish you're making now is the highlight of the banquet.
Okay.
What are you doing? Knead it vigorously just like me.
This is not good for the joints in our shoulders and wrists.
Come on. You ought to give it more power. Do it.
Grind your shoulders and wrists if you need to.
You ought to pound on it.
Chef, it is all ready.
Is that so?
Okay.
It's a banquet, after all. It's no banquet without meat.
I will finish the main dish...
with vegan hamburger steaks.
MAC DUNALDU
This is an edible pouch.
This produce is red throughout the year.
Hence the name, One-year persimmon.
The color of the produce, red, chases away bad luck on Surit-nal.
How could this be so soft?
Is it a short rib patty?
That cannot be. The meat never arrived...
I meant to say that there are no meats during the barley hump.
There is a proverb from the Qing Empire.
"In the sky, there are dragons for the meat."
"On land, there are donkeys."
And we should add, "Beans for meat in the barley hump".
"Mac" for barley. "Du" for bean. "Nal" for fattening. "Du" for belly.
So that makes Mac Dunaldu.
Mac Dunaldu
MAC DUNALDU
Like real meat, it is delicious and filling.
That makes sense.
How beautiful.
I will add my artistic touches to the cooled down sweet jelly.
So it will please their eyes.
Desserts should be delicious and beautiful to look at.
- Gosh. - Gosh. Look at the color.
On top of that, give it a wow factor.
The perfect finale of the party.
FORTUNE JELLY
This is beautiful.
But this is just regular jelly.
I guess you are out of your tricks.
This stick makes it easier for you to eat the jelly.
And it also says your fortune.
Fortune?
This dish embraces spring,
so it is called the Fortune Jelly.
It shows my hope that your future may be fortunate like spring.
How about having your fortune read as we wrap up the banquet?
How could we do such a thing at our sacred palace?
ONE MORE
One more.
"One more"?
"Try Again Next time."
DUD
My gosh. My back hurts.
I am about to pass out.
I poured my soul into this instead of real ingredients.
Gosh, I am going to pass out.
We did it.
Do you know what I'm thinking about now?
I know. That is exactly how I feel.
- Fish cakes. - Pardon?
I'm thinking about fish cakes.
The chef that almost died in the hands of Emperor Qin Shi Huang...
created fish cakes the night before.
I thought that was because he was lucky.
But that wasn't the case.
I'm sure he came up with it...
after trying whatever he could do to stay alive.
Inspiration...
isn't something common that would come...
to a person who has given up.
Your Highness.
Goodness. You must be out of breath.
Here. Have some water. Drink up.
His last name is Han.
Right? His last name is really Han, right?
Yes.
His name is Shim Ong.
His name is Han Shim Ong.
Simon? Why does his name sound so foreign?
Oh, Han Shim Ong.
Yes.
What is this, by the way?
Goodness. It is nothing, Your Highness.
While I was outside of the Palace,
I went all the way to Hanseongbu,
and I took a look at their family register.
I am sure that it is a fake family register that was bought.
It is a method that is fitting Mr. Han's ancestors.
Since we didn't include him because he's a fake noble,
he chose such a dirty way to win someone's favor?
Your Highness. This is not the time to stand here like this.
You will be in trouble if you are absent for too long.
Oh, you're right.
Good job, Court Lady Choi.
- I'm going. Let's go. - Your Highness.
- Your Highness. Hold on. - Be careful.
Your Highness!
Oh, my. Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Why? What is wrong?
My stomach...
There's a troop of traveling actors doing pungmulnori in my stomach.
What is going on?
The water...
Did nobody remove that water?
What kind of water...
is that?
It is water with a poisonous plant in it.
Poison?
Court Lady Choi!
I see that you are here.
Of course, I should be here.
It is a banquet to congratulate the Queen's recovery.
Keep an eye on everything from now on.
Watch what kind of results your actions will bring.
Goodness.
Making a meal is no easy task.
There is not a single part of my body that is not in pain.
Furthermore, that Royal Chef kept yelling at me.
- That rotten... - Look here!
Do you still have potatoes that need to be peeled?
Please save Court Lady Choi.
Please.
Keep up the good work.
I am sorry.
He was wearing a goblin mask,
and he had an old scar around his chin.
Excuse me.
Oh, my.
I apologize.
Look here. She is in a lot of pain.
Do some acupuncture and burn some moxa. Do something.
Give her some antitoxins too.
Goodness. Stay out of it.
I am the captain of this place.
This will do.
You were terrible in the Royal Kitchen,
but you are great in the Royal Infirmary.
Whether it is a person or an object,
everything has a place it belongs to.
But your needles work better in the Royal Kitchen.
No, it is not!
This needle is perfect for piercing potatoes.
Let me take this to use.
How dare you touch it. No.
This would be perfect for peeling potatoes.
- Let me take this to use. - No.
You cannot do that, Your Highness!
The pungmulnori in my stomach has stopped.
I should not be here right now.
- Your Highness. - Court Lady Choi!
There is no way she could recover that quickly.
She is a strong woman.
She smells like oil.
Why were you absent for so long?
Well, the thing is...
I apologize.
My hand slipped,
and I shot an arrow at the Queen.
Did you get hurt?
No, I am fine.
The hunting game was so tiring...
that I fell asleep while I was getting ready.
Darn it.
An apron?
When will your preparations unfold?
Please wait.
The King put so much effort into this banquet.
The King must stand out for now.
To everyone who came here and set an example as a scholar...
by not eating a lot...
to show that you understand the hunger of the people,
I will take this opportunity to make an announcement.
With the start of this banquet,
we will start reducing the dishes in our meals.
SETTING AN EXAMPLE TO THE PEOPLE BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF DISHES
Reducing the dishes?
What kind of nonsense is he speaking of?
When the nation is in trouble, the king should...
reduce the number of dishes in his meals...
to share the pain of his people.
By reducing the number of dishes, we feel the pain of the nation...
so that we can overcome it together.
At a time like this, taking the grain to save dozens of people...
to make a piece of meat to please our tongues...
is a sin.
As a result, if anyone in this Palace...
puts a piece of meat on their tables, they will be punished.
I not only forbid meat, but I forbid you from eating generous meals.
Ministers cannot enjoy drinking, singing, and dancing,
and they must stop having factional strife.
If you violate these terms,
I will take it as you are willing to accept the punishment.
Your Majesty.
I, Kim Jwa Geun, apologize...
as I have an unfortunate piece of news.
These are criminals who lied about their status...
and hid in the Royal Guard Division.
In order to guard you by your side,
they created a fake identity.
It is time to go after the people who think they are hidden.
I am sure he believes that they are the basis of his power...
that he took good care of and protected.
We have to pull it out from its roots and tear it into pieces.
So that he will not be able to stand again.
Must you ruin this meaningful day like this?
Do you know who they really are?
Some of them are from families that are guilty of treason.
Some of them were bandits that targeted scholar-officials,
and some are wanted criminals who openly criticized the monarchy.
All of them disapprove of the royal court,
but they have been...
guarding Your Majesty in disguise.
Their ultimate goal was to plot a coup.
Due to the urgency of this matter, I had no choice...
but to bring it to Your Majesty's attention immediately.
No, that cannot be.
Someone is falsely accusing my royal guards...
to weaken security and harm me.
By "someone",
who exactly are you referring to?
You, Training Commander Kim Jwa Geun.
Are you doing this...
because you think those three families got your back?
Do you think such sugar-coated words...
are enough to persuade them to side with you?
You are foolish.
It is time for you to wake up and see your reality.
How brazen!
How dare you insult the King like this?
This is an act of disloyalty and treason!
This is very unlike you, Your Majesty. Calm down!
How dare you give me orders when I am the King?
Your Majesty, it seems like there is something you are counting on.
Whatever it is, you will not be able to use it...
if your limbs are cut off.
Pay the price for your own recklessness.
All of you shall be beheaded for your crimes.
Your Majesty, we will follow the military laws.
They are guilty of treason, which means...
this is out of the Royal Guard Division's hands.
The Department of Justice will handle this matter!
Your Majesty.
The Royal Guard Division will take care of this!
- No, Your Majesty! - No, Your Majesty!
The royal guard commander knew who they really were!
It is possible that everyone in the division is a traitor.
We cannot let the Royal Guard Division handle the corruption...
that took place within it!
- Please reconsider, Your Majesty! - Please reconsider, Your Majesty!
Please reconsider, Your Majesty!
We can disband the entire division...
and prosecute the royal guard commander as well.
However,
if you leave these criminals' punishment to me,
I will take it as your promise to do nothing from now on...
and stop there.
Nothing I do...
will make any difference.
What would you like to do, Your Majesty?
Fine.
I will leave the matter...
in your hands.
"The Lord of the Land..."
"and the Lord of Grains, I pray to you."
"May your blessings..."
