I found that the English subbing takes 2 days to be up @ epdrama and some other hosting sites. Whereas Chinese subs are already out after 1 day of the drama airing in Korea. Also, the Chinese subs are more accurate than English.
Example: the aspirin that Eun Soo asks Choi to take. English sub translates as "6 pills a day". But this doesn't sound right according to what Eun Soo says. The Chinese subs translate as "2 pills each time, 3 times a day".
I'm watching this for the first time. For this Ep 4, it is stated that the translation was done by a cultural company that has exclusive rights to do so.
Gi Cheol: Choi Young. Only believe in him.
Guy: It's what we heard from our spy. His Highness personally said to Choi Young "The only person I trust in this world, is only you.".
Gi Cheol: Then who is that royal guard's father?
Guy: Choi Won Ji. Also a founding Goryeo meritorious direct descendent. His grandfather once tutored Choi Yong who was a bachelor of arts under King Chungryeol.
Gi Cheol: The heir of such an illustrious family, becomes just a military official.
Guy: It's heard that since the age of 16 when his father died, he went the way of the warrior. It's even said he was once the youngest vice general in the Red Moon team.
Gi Cheol: Red Moon team.
Guy: A secret team specializing in choosing top warriors with top-notch inner abilities.
Gi Cheol: I know.
Guy: I'm sure you've also heard, due to their extremely mysterious movements, they were called the Ghost Moon team. As long as see the red moon flag, the foreign invaders will all flee in a hurry.
Gi Cheol: I also know how the team collapsed. Red Moon team. Once the vice general of Red Moon team. This time, the failure of the raid was also because of him?
Guy: Should be. The new king is so weak, he can't even ride a horse.
Gi Cheol: I want to have him.
Guy: You mean Choi Young?
Gi Cheol: The infamous Red Moon team. Now why didn't I think of getting my hands on him earlier? Regardless of official post or riches given to him, as long as can get him, it'll be good.(zine ed: Yeah, I had thought of this earlier when he was getting loyal retainers to his side. I was thinking he should get Choi Young, an asset if he can get the guy, rather than all these useless retainers.).
Choi Young in grey scape: (zine ed: beautiful scene and music. He looks so lost and so beautifully lonely.).
Elderly man: Still have not found it?
Choi wakes.
Guard: Captain, the preparations are ready.
Choi: How many people?
Guard: Can only choose those we can trust, so the number is not over hundred.
Choi: Which about the empress's side?
Guard: Court Lady Choi will see to it. She said just guard the king wherever he is, will do. (outside) Whatever it is, this is still the palace. As courtiers, would they dare harm the king and the empress?
Choi: I had thought of this too. Once arrived at the palace, it'll be safe. Until yesterday, before encountering the odd rut, I was thinking this way. After seeing Gi Cheol, it was very scary.
Guard: What?
Choi: Didn't you see it yourself? At the banquet, regarding kneeling to receive the imperial decree.
Guard: That matter... really raises anger. At that time, if we had forced him a little...
Choi: If we had forced him....he would have killed the king instead of me. If the matter gets to the point of whether to kill or not kill the king, the first to lose blood will be us royal guards. I don't want to die so tragically. The rooftop in the west has no guard?
Guard: I'll post someone there immediately. Then do we just let that usurper who deserves punishment go? Those ministers of state?
Choi: Save it. Don't know how late we'll have to guard. Save some of your strength. The rooftop in the west.
Guard: Yes. I obey.
Dae: Your body is really bad, right? Just now, the heaven's doc said...
Choi: Shut up.
Dae: Captain...
Choi: Didn't you hear? The entire Goryeo, the number of people who can be trusted is not even a hundred. But what will happen if the person who leads them collapses? The most important is that if I collapse now, my last chance will be gone.
Eun Soo changing clothes.
Eun Soo: If this damn reality is not a dream, then what is it? I came here in a time machine, but I didn't see any sort of machine. Don't you think the size is a little small?
Jang: Where're the clothes that were delivered?
Eun Soo: I don't like layered style. I hate elaborate and tedious the most.
Jang: What you're wearing is underwear. Clothes that are not to be seen by other people.
(zine ed: Ahahaha... no wonder. He's a doctor, so he just looked and looked away)
Eun Soo: Or perhaps, it is an interstellar door... what's it called... Wormhole! Yes, as long as able to overcome Einstein's theory of relativity... then will be able to go through wormholes to travel through time. There is such a Physics theory. I actually hate SF fantasy the most. But now, how to explain all these? How can it be Goryeo here? (passing servant) Oh, scared me! Who...
(zine ed: I think Jang is being unfair to Eun Soo by treating her this way. Either he is secretly in love with her, or jealous. In Ep 2, it's understandable that Eun Soo seems to have a rather shallow attitude, but she did explain that she had no proper breakfast and needed food. But Jang took it to mean that she had a shallow attitude towards the patient).
Jang: It's Togi. She's very knowledgeable in herbs. Also, the owner of the hospital herb garden. Dried toad venom...Is that bamboo?
Eun Soo: What?
Jang: It's a herb that can be used to eliminate toxins in the human body. Did you not say the royal guard requires all these?
Eun Soo: What did you say this was?
Jang: Dried toad venom. (Eun Soo bites it) That's toad. She says it's the black eye socket of the toad. The brow beam. Between the brows. Use the hand to press that part to squeeze out the juice. It's made by drying in the dark for a night. It's mostly used for treatment of boils and dysentry. But doesn't the world of Heaven use these too? I heard you are Hua Ta's disciple. (zine ed: Well, all the more shouldn't he treat her better?) Eun Soo: Who?
Jang: Hua Ta. The one referred to as a god...
Eun Soo: Hua... Ah! That Hua Ta!
Jang: You're not his disciple?
Eun Soo: The world has changed a lot. We all do the Hippocratic Oath. (she starts reciting the oath).
Jang: Hee...
Eun Soo: Hippocrates. In faraway Greece...
Servant: Doctor. Heaven's doctor, the king requests for you.
Choi Young is walking the corridor when a voice calls him: Please enter.
Eun Soo in the king's room.
Eun Soo: Is this Goryeo's porcelain vase? How much does it cost roughly?
Servant: What?
Eun Soo: Something like this, since it hasn't become antique yet, it surely shouldn't be so expensive. Where can I buy it?
King: You like it?
Eun Soo: How do you do? I heard you're the king, But I'm not too sure how should I greet you. (zine ed: her bow is actually a western curtsy, eh? ^_^;)
King: It is also my first time meeting a person from Heaven. So I am not sure how I should treat you. We'll take it as it goes, what do you think?
Eun Soo: Oh, really? That would be good.
King: Upon arriving at the palace, some troubling things happened. I was rather lacking in my treatment of you. Are you satisfied with regards to food?
Eun Soo: Well, I am not a picky person. But since you asked... The food is rather bland and there is no Kimchi. And I want to take a warm... bath.
Servant: I will go prepare now.
King: Person from Heaven.
Eun Soo: You mean me?
King: I wish to ask a favor of you. Will you agree?
Choi Young goes with the Empress.
Empress: This country's citizens are all the same?
Choi: What?
Empress: I would like to ask you whether all the citizens hope that I and the king die?
Choi: No.
Empress: Then it is a portion of them?
Choi: I am only a warrior who doesn't know politics.
Empress: I am asking you.
Choi: Can I first ask you something?
Empress: I am listening.
Choi: When did you learn the Goryeo language? You married the king 2 years ago. It's amazing to have achieved such fluency in just 2 years.
Empress: Do you mean you don't want to discuss with a Yuan person regarding matters of Goryeo?
Choi: I am impolite. Question retracted. (zine ed: both Choi and the empress are equally smart).
Empress: It's been 8 years. 8 years ago, I saw a person who was from Goryeo. In order to talk with him, I started learning the language. Satisfied with this answer? Sit. Then it is your turn. I was honest with you, you should also answer honestly.
Choi: There is only 1 person in the entire Goryeo who endangers the king's and the empress's lives.
Empress: You refer to Qi Empress's elder brother? His strength is as great as a storm wind. Whereas our strength is like the candle in front of the storm.
Choi: That's about it.
Empress: If he kills us and becomes king, you will become his royal guard, right? Work for him through the night. Sacrifice your name to fight with his enemies.
Choi: If I live till then, then that's what I'll do.
Empress: So that's why you want to die? Tired of fighting for this king and that king. So, thinking to die and end it all?
(zine ed: Wow... the empress is a genius. She figured him out so easily! I always thought since Ep 2, that she should be king. Wow, she puts a hand on him to sit him back down. Soooo coooll!!! The music is very nice and moving. )
Choi: Empress...
Empress: It's burning like a fireball. But I heard you refused treatment.
Choi: Please take back your hand.
(zine ed: Wahh... it must take him all his restraint not to brush her hand off like what he did to Eun Soo. The Empress seems to enjoy the supreme privilege of having her hand on his forehead. ^__^. I love this scene!! Though I see that Choi sits down before the Empress has laid her hand on his shoulder.
Choi is like a wounded lion in a corner. Doesn't like to be touched.).
Empress (reluctantly moves away her hand): Don't die. This is your Empress's order.
Back in the king's room.
Eun Soo: Doctor god?
King: Yes. I hope you will become this country's god of medicine.
Eun Soo: What is that? Whatever that is, I say King, I'm a person who has to get back.
King: I know, but...
Eun Soo: I was kidnapped to here. No, I was kidnapped to here, and kidnapped again and almost died. All these, I will let it be. But when I go back, that vase, that Goryeo vase, or a few paintings also good. Let me take a few stuff before I leave. All of what happened, yeah, all of it, I will let go. Yeah, is that Ok?
Adviser: How do you intend to get back?
Eun Soo: That door that I came through...
Adviser: That door, you saw for yourself, has already closed.
Eun Soo: It's closed but it can open again, right?
Adviser: Hua Ta passed through that door 1000 years ago. Nobody can predict when it will open again.
Eun Soo: How can it be?!! What is your conclusion based on? Then what am I to do?
(zine ed: Hahaha... the guys got a shock when she slammed the king's table like a wild woman. ^_^).
King: Doctor god, in the past 10 years, this country has been under the interference of yuan dynasty.
Eun Soo: I am not sure about history.
King: I heard that every year, the citizens suffer in silence as they labor to offer tribute. Even in yuan dynasty.
Eun Soo: I say, I know I shouldn't be saying this. But I also know that those in politics say the same things. Citizens, countrymen... that sort of thing. In the end, say 'I have to sacrifice myself to create happiness for the citizens'....
Adviser: Doc god, please watch your words.
Eun Soo: You see! When citizen wants to say something, will get blasted.
Adviser: You!
King: Just speak a little less.
Adviser: Your Majesty.
King: After submitting to Yuan dynasty, this country's 6 kings could only put "chung" in front of a posthumous title.
Eun Soo: Posthumous title... "chung"?
King: Especially for the previous king, Chung mun.
Eun Soo: If it's the word "chung", it means Goryeo's last period.
Adviser: Last period? What last period?
Eun Soo: What were the names of those kings? Not now, I mean back then.
King: You mean the posthumous titles?
(zine ed: Ahhh.. must we get a history lesson? I would rather the director just cut to the chase with the story).
Adviser starts reciting names of previous kings.
Eun Soo: My history is crappy. But reciting still Ok. (Starts singing nursery rhyme with historical lineage of kings). Then... then you are that Gong Ming!
King: Heaven has decreed I am Gong Ming? (zine ed: Ahh... she is committing the time paradox complication)
Eun Soo: After, after, King Chu Mu... would be Gong Ming. It's what's written in history.
Adviser: It's true it's the Yuan posthumous title "chu", your Majesty.
Eun Soo: Then she is a Yuan princess. Princess of Lu kingdom?
King: Lu kingdom.. ?
Eun Soo: This... This is really big. King Gong Ming with the princess of Lu kingdom. You two are famous! You're good at painting, right?
King: Yeah, I know a little.
Eun Soo: I've seen it! The painting that King Gong Ming painted. In the region of Mapo, there is an ancestral temple. There is a painting there and beside it, there is also Choi Young temple.
Adviser: Choi Young? You mean that royal guard captain? Why would he be at Heaven's temple?
Eun Soo: You said Captain? The one who kidnapped me, that psycho I stabbed ... is who??
Choi Young with Jang.
Jang: You wish to know this blood, is from someone who was poisoned or normal blood?
Choi: Are you able to differentiate?
Jang: To investigate whether there is poison is not difficult. It's a little ... strange.
Choi: Strange?
Jang: Need to check first whether this blood is human.
Choi: There's also a possibility it isn't from a human?
Jang: Can I take it with me to experiment?
Choi: Yes, go ahead. (sees the doc off) Chu Song. What is it? What were you discussing?
Chu Song: Ahh... that.
Choi: Speak.
Chu Song: They all didn't believe it.
Choi: What?
Chu Song: Doc god.
Choi: Doc god?
Chu Song: We said she's from Heaven whom you personally invited here and she's for real. And that we saw it with our own eyes. But they still wouldn't believe.
Choi: I said before, don't spread this around. Who was it? Who started it?
Chu Song: It wasn't us. It was inner sanctum.
Choi: What?
Guard: It was the eunuch from the inner sanctum who came out and said it. By now, it should be well spread.
Guard: Everywhere, people are talking about it. A doctor came from Heaven and using Heaven's medical skills, saved the Empress. Even used Heaven's intelligence to predict the future!
Guard: We merely answered them when they asked us if it was true. We said it was true.
(zine ed: Ahh... he's surely going to kill that woman. Can't kill anybody else.).
Back at the palace. (zine ed: hahaha.. the king really gave her the vase. Look at her hugging it.)
Lady Choi: You are a person knowledgeable in medicine. So specially gave you sleeping quarters near the herbal room. However, as long as you give the order, you can have any room in the palace.
Eun Soo: Palace room? Other than here, are there others more spacious? (zine ed: Uhh... she's pushing it. Greedy. Now I see why Jang the doc dislikes her so much.).
Lady Choi: Do you wish to personally see it?
Eun Soo: Can we go now? I really do love viewing apartments. (sees Choi Young) Oh, how do you do.
Lady Choi: W..wait.. young Young!
Eun Soo: That... are you called Choi Young? (zine ed: look at her still hugging her vase. Hahaha!)
Choi Young: It is not convenient for me to move around alone. But I'll send a few capable men to protect you.
Eun Soo: Protect me from what?
Choi: If there's nothing, leave her quickly. It is not safe here anymore. Someone is already targetting you.
Eun Soo: Me? Why?
Choi: You don't need to care. Just follow what I tell you to do.
Eun Soo: Wait a sec. Why should I listen to you?! I have a backer too. Know who it is? It's the King. The king personally invited me over and pleaded for me to be doctor god, you know? With my status, if I ask you something, you have to at least answer me, right? You are not a general now. At most, you are just a big military official or a small fry.
Choi: Togi, Togi! Do you have something like a cloth bag? Help me tie her up so I can haul her away. She's very noisy, also gag her.
Jang: This wouldn't do.
Eun Soo: Doctor Jang!
Jang: The king has ordered that all the medical staff must take care of and protect the doc god.
(zine ed: Look at the way she poses against Jang ^_^).
Choi: Il Shin (the adviser) is the one behind it, isn't he?
Jang: Even so, it is still an imperial decree.
(zine ed: Look at her. Why she show the vase?! Thank goodness he didn't faint when confronting that usurper Gi Cheol at the banquet. I was so afraid he would.)
Eun Soo: What's wrong? What's happening with you? Choi Young!
(zine ed: arhhh... she broke the vase. So that's why the focus on her holding the vase all this time. To emphasize Choi Young's importance to her. Uh... why did Jang just stand there and not rush to Choi? Or Eun Soo... not rush to him?).
Gi Cheol's room.
Guy: The doctor sent from Heaven. That doctor can raise the dead and can predict the country's future. And this doctor from Heaven assists the new king. No matter how stupid the citizens are, who would believe such a joke?
Woman in red: What are you doing?
Guy: You're here.
Woman: I asked you what you were doing.
guy: After adding 21 types of herbs and lighting the fire, let the herbs go with the warmth to enter the skin.
Woman: Senior, he said light the fire, you know?
Gi Cheol: It's just a small flame. Do you want to try?
Woman: Can I?
Guy: Not too hot.
Woman: This degree?
Guy: Need to quickly light, then stop.
Woman: Burning senior's face.. is quite amusing.
Gi Cheol: The information that you got others to send... the person dug out from Heaven is a doctor?
Woman: The assassin sliced the neck of the princess. But that Heaven's doctor saved her. I heard by sewing back the open wound.
Gi Cheol: You didn't see it yourself but heard it from others?
Woman: If I had seen her, would've brought her to you. I wouldn't have let her go so easily.
Guy: This is impossible, impossible. Whether it is the truth, is not important.
Gi Cheol: It is a real headache when those who are foolish start believing those words.
Woman: I heard she's in the palace. Do you want me to bring her here? Or just burn her?
Gi Cheol: I have to make a trip tomorrow. Inform all the officials, I will be going to see the king tomorrow. But before then...
(zine ed: Er... what's the meaning of that look? Sex?)
Choi Young wakes.
Jang: Can you sit up? (zine ed: ^__^ I like how close Jang leans to Choi)
Choi: How long have I been out?
Jang: Not even a moment after fainting.
Choi (refusing to admit): Who fainted?
Jang: Nobody knows you fainted. Besides Togi and myself and that person.
Eun Soo: The area that was operated on is inflamed. Because of this, you have fever. Those herbs can really match up to antibiotic effect?
Jang: Thought you didn't care anymore?
Eun Soo: No medicine what am I to do? I don't know a single herb.
(zine ed: this seems to be a modern-day problem about docs, even in Korea, as seen here. Docs are helpless without their pharmaceutical drugs. They have lost precious ancient knowledge of natural remedies.).
Jang: I made some herbal medicine. Wait a moment.
Eun Soo: Indeed, the abdomen is well developed. When I opened it, I was worried about damaging other organs. But luckily only the liver was damaged. Indeed, thank goodness for a well developed abdomen.
(zine ed: the way she lifts up her hands praising his abdomen... looks like she's admiring his physique. Only later I realize she's praising his physique to kiss up to him. But she's so noisy. I can totally feel how Choi Young feels hearing her voice non-stop. How come Choi Young has to wear so many layers of shirt?).
Eun Soo: Um... Choi Young. It's your name, right? There is no second Choi Young in Goryeo now, is there? Then later, you will become a general. Then you'll do many many things. So, if I had really travelled through time, I mean, if it's really according to history, you'll become a general.
Eun Soo: Anyway! General Choi Young must live! Then can you protect Goryeo on the battlefield and leave your name in history.
Choi: Is this true? Heaven's doctor can predict the future?
Eun Soo: I am not from Heaven. I think I come from the future.
Choi: The future?
Eun Soo: But if you die because of me, history will definitely be twisted and distorted. (zine ed: yeah, right. You're doing that right now). All the TV dramas say that... if want history to topple down. Oh my god!
Choi: Don't get up.
Jang: Are you Ok? Did you get hurt?
Eun Soo: X-men. (zine ed: Oh yeah... I didn't think of that red costume).
Jang: What?
Eun Soo: Just now, that X-men woman had super powers... (zine ed: Hahaha! She looks so cute describing the bomb).
(zine ed: that woman in red standing there smiling at Choi, looks like the female version of that guy who acted in You're beautiful. Jang who played Kwang Tae Kyung).
Woman in red: You're royal guard Choi Young?
Choi: Introductions later.
Woman: Ok. Are you scared? I have something to say that cannot be heard by others.
Choi: I don't want to listen.
Woman: What a pity. (zine ed: she seems to have taken a fancy to Choi)
Choi: Or die.
Woman: Bye! Hope to meet again!
The King comes to the herb area to look.
King: I heard there was a raid. Was she here to harm the doc god?
Choi: It's said there are those in Gi Cheol's employ who have sound and fire abilities. Seems it is one of them.
King: The doc god is fine, right?
Choi: Thanks to your Majesty's grace.
King: You also know how to speak in that fake kiss-ass way. The doc god is safe, but how can it be of my doing? Because of me, she almost lost her life. The one who saved her was you.
Choi: This was found at that place the officials were killed. Seems to have been written and hidden beneath a stone tablet by someone before dying. The blood on it seems to be blood spat from the person who was poisoned. However, Jang doctor's analysis shows that it is not human blood. Centipedes have no reaction to human blood. It is something else that the centipedes like. It's chicken blood.
King: So the blood on that paper is chicken?
Choi: Yes.
King: So after those who died, someone placed it there? Who did it? Why?
Choi: Whoever it is hopes that people will see this secret note.
King: Then what is this for and how is this evidence?
Choi: You just need to wait.
King: Wait?
Choi: He'll come to you. Orginally, this was used for this purpose as a fake evidence.
King: Then do I take this and expose the fakery?
Choi: You can do that, or pretend don't know. This is something you need to decide.
King: If expose the fakery, it means wanting the other party to correct it. If pretend don't know, then it means letting him do what he likes, willing to allow whatever the other party intends. Two choices to choose from.
Choi: Yes.
King: Even if the other party comes, whatever decision I make does not concern you. You have already done your duty, so you want to leave, is that it?
(zine ed: Wahh... Choi Young is really by the book. He doesn't go a step further than what was agreed. I had forgotten about the agreement between the king and Choi.).
Choi: I remember your promise. (zine ed: wahh.. meaning asking the king to honor his).
King: You really have to leave? Previously, caused you break your promise, ordered you to capture that doc god... that matter... disturbs you that much? I need someone I can trust. You should know that person is you. Bringing the doc god here, to save my situation, while I clearly know this is dangerous for her... a sovereign like this disappoints you this much?
Choi: My impending departure is a long-awaited matter.
King: Then convince me.
Choi: There is no need for you to know, it is small matter.
King: If you don't want to tell your king, then tell the person whom you feel is your only friend! I plead like this and still no?
Choi: Sovereign, when I was young... regardless of the team members' individual background and identity, it was all for the sake of practising inner abilities and to protect Goryeo. The people who gathered together just for this belief... to me , after having lost his father, was like family. The captain was my teacher and was like my father. The team members were like my brothers and sisters. Our main job was to burn enemy ships, or to infiltrate enemy camps and kill the generals.
(zine ed: I would rather the director not animate it like this. It's comical, rather than being a serious matter).
Choi: No matter how good we were, the enemy numbers were greater than ours. No matter how great Red Moon team was that caused panic in the enemy. But they didn't completely lose. As a mysterious team, we didn't have any provisions or reinforcements.
Choi: After experiencing many battles, the over 70 members, was halved. We watched the sacrifice of our friends, then have to go on to the next mission. Our informant was very reliable every time. But perhaps the enemy became cunning, we accidentally entered into an ambush. Suddenly one day, the king wanted to see us. Perhaps because we were so effective against the enemy. It was like a dream.
(zine ed: Hahaha!! I can't believe Choi Young used to laugh and loll around like that! What a difference!).
Choi: Can you see me, see me? It's great!
Girl: You scared me!
Choi: Ahh... our captain is going to enjoy this luxury.
Girl: Don't let him hear you.
Choi: Why? It's a fact. Don't tell me the king just wants to look at us? Definitely will reward us and provide us staying quarters. It's not bad, right? Could you give us a few good horses? I really wish to have a young and strong horse. It's always those old horses...
Old captain: Listen to me well. We'll see his Majesty today. He is the one we risk our lives protecting. But compared to the king you imagine, there might be a distance. But for the sake of those Red Moon members who sacrificed their lives, our every word and action today, represent the entire group. We must not be careless.
(zine ed: They sacrificed their lives for a king who enjoys himself with wine, women...).
King: Who are you?
Captain: Red Moon captain Wen Gi Yo, with the rest of the Red Moon team to greet your Majesty.
King: Ahh.. the Red Moon team! I remember, I remember! Come, come! Red Moon, is here? I know, I heard you guys are very fierce. Quick rise, rise and let me see. What's this? Is this the Captain sword that the ghost god bestowed to you? Let me see how many people has this sword killed... A hundred? A woman. There's a woman.
Captain: She is Dan Bei Ra.
King: She knows gongfu too?
Captain: She learnt from young. Her speciality is the whip.
King: This is the first time I've seen a woman who knows gongfu. Really not bad. Let me see whether there is anywhere that she is different from other women. Remove it. Take off all your clothes. I wish to see inside.
(zine ed: I think at this point, the warriors can attack and kill everyone in this hall. How come the guys are not defending her? One of them could pretend to direct the King's attention elsewhere with drink or something, idea from Hakuouki Reimeiroku when Souji directed the anger of Serizawa to wine at a banquet.).
King: What are you doing? Didn't I ask you to take off all? This is an imperial order, an order! Ahh... it's too slow! Don't you know gongfu? Why are your movements so slow? Aren't there a few more layers? Quickly remove them! Or you want me to personally do it? A really disloyal subject. Come, come, come.
(zine ed: Ah! Finally, the captain. If it were Choi Young at this time, this age, that king wouldn't have stood a chance.).
King: How dare you. What do you think you're doing?
Captain: Your Majesty, she is just...
King: Just, just, just...! Did you see? Did you all see? Really presumptuous! I heard compared to me, the citizens trust this guy more! You are that Red Moon captain that the citizens rely on and trust more than me? Answer me!
Captain: Yes, your Majesty.
King: Is this really true? The one who protects the citizens isn't me but Red Moon team?
Captain: That is not so, Your Majesty.
King: So, can disobey the imperial order as you will, is that it?
Captain: I have never disobeyed an imperial order, your Majesty.
King: Then good. You, come here, come here. I, the King, order you to take off all your clothes. How dare you defy the order. Destroy 3 generations. (stabs the captain instead) Oh look... it really went in. What a sharp sword! It went in in an instant!
Captain: Get back.
Choi: Captain.
Captain: Young Yung. Show your loyalty to the king. Become his shadow in future. Become Goryeo's official. Answer me! Only by doing so, will you save Red Moon team and brothers. Look at me, young Yung. You have to protect these brothers. Answer me.
Choi: Yes.
Captain: I am sorry for offending your Majesty. Please forgive. I came to offer them to you. Please keep them by your side. Each one of them is as good as a hundred... in the protection of your Majesty.
(zine ed: Ooh... then this king Gong Ming is 100 times better than that one.).
King Gong Ming: So that's how you came to be the royal guard who protects the king. How many years was this?
Choi: Already 7 years.
King: How many Red Moon team members are still remaining in the palace?
Choi: Some left, some died. Now, it's just me.
King: So there is no one left to protect, then you say you're leaving?
Choi: Yes.
King: The one who killed your teacher, should be the previous king, right? My brother.
(zine ed: No wonder his brother was dethroned).
Choi: Yes.
King: You hated me from the start, right? Because I am his younger brother. Then? After you leave the palace? What is your plan?
Choi: First, I intend to take the Doc god to the Heaven's hole. I still owe her. Wait for the door to open, at the same time, I wish to be a fisherman. My skill as a fisherman is pretty good.
King: After you have repaid her, what next?
Choi: I am also searching... for the higher purpose that makes me must continue to live.
King: But the task I gave you, is not completely done. Please remember.
Choi: Your Majesty... that...
King: No need to see me out. Because I feel apologetic towards you.
(zine ed: Eun Soo calls him psycho. HAhahaha!!)
Eun Soo: Psycho..!! Obviously it's shock. Put the legs up here. Need to get the blood to flow to the brain and heart. Need salt and sugar water. Need blankets to warm the body.
Guard: What happened to captain?
Eun Soo: It's starting up. Need to breathe in oxygen. And need a pharmacy. If not careful, will enter the lungs. Need an infusion.
(zine ed: I'm guessing she means an IV drip. Later, when I watched the Eng subbed @ Epdrama, it is translated as "I need Ringer's solution.". It also sounds like Eun Soo said "Ringo's". According to Wiki, it's an isotonic solution for intravenous administration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactated_Ringer%27s_solution).
Jang: The pulse is very fast but weak.
Guard: Captain, wake up..
Eun Soo: I'm going crazy. Everything also don't have.
Grey scape.
Choi: Father.
Father: What is the matter?
Choi: Can I also be here? Stay... here.
Back in the room.
Servant: This is yellow lotus anti-toxin soup. Temperature is just right.
Jang: I can hardly feel his pulse. Does he not want to come back to life?
In the herb room.
Lady Choi: I was only ordered to prepare.
Eun Soo: That's what I saying, why do I have to make such preparations?
Lady Choi: This is the imperial decree.
King: I have not decided. But regardless of whatever decision, your view of me may be bad.
Empress: Whatever decision might that be?
King: Among them, first, exhibit my uselessness, then being dethroned. Of course, this means my life is endangered. Second, in order to keep the throne, willing let myself be laughed at. Empress, which one do you prefer?
Empress: Both, I do not wish to endure.
King: You feel so too, eh.
Empress: Where is royal guard Captain Choi?
King: Pleading illness and unable to attend court.
Empress: Pleading illness?
King: Without the royal guard, there is only the 3rd method.
Empress: Your third method should have been thought of by that someone standing beside you, right?
King: He is the only one loyal and protects me.
Empress: I am surprised that you are telling me all this.
King: Because whether it is being laughed at by others, or be killed by others, you will also be bearing it with me.
Court
Announcement of the Majesties arrival.
King: Please be seated.
Official: Your Majesties, to see both of you safe, it is thanks to Heaven's protection.
King: Yeah, that's so. I am also grateful to Heaven's blessing. Have you all not heard? The journey of my return to our country was fraught with difficulties. The Empress even almost lost her life. I'm sure this isn't the first time you all are hearing this. Why look so shocked? Everyone also knows it was Heaven that opened Hua Ta's Heaven door, sent Heaven's doc and saved the Empress.
(zine ed: Eun Soo weaseling out of her court chair and Lady Choi pushing her back into it ^_^)
King: I have been considering. What does Heaven mean? Why not give Yuan country, or other country. But chose Goryeo? Gave me, a useless king, a Heaven's doctor. What do you officials think? And doc god said before, the things I will do in the future, able to do, this country's tomorrow and the future, Heaven has already arranged everything. Officials, do you wish to listen?
Gi Cheol: It's really difficult to do. Your Majesty, I am his Excellency Deok Song. I came here in a hurry. But what strange thing were you saying just now? Heaven's door, Heaven's doctor. Doc god. Although it is said you are young, stayed too long in another country, can't differentiate between what you see and what you hear. But you are still my Goryeo king. Which idiot is it! How dare you confuse the King with foolish citizen rumors? Confused the divine heart? Is it you, demon? That demon disguised as a woman, answer me! Hurry up and answer me, demon!
(zine ed: This the first time I have translated an entire episode.
Well, I finally understand why Choi Young wants to die, or lost the will to live. He has lost 2 fathers and more. He fought believing in a cause that turned out to be false. Everyone that he was to protect either left or dead. And he only stayed by the king who killed his captain because he was commanded by his captain to do so. 7 years. Hopes and beliefs destroyed. He is the last. What is there left to live for (except to send Eun Soo back)? With the past so overwhelming, sending Eun Soo back is the least on his mind. I guess only a love can bring him back.).
Update: 24 Aug Friday.
Found something interesting tonight on a different Eng subbed host. I don't think the translation is really accurate, may be subbed from the Chinese version, since some translation is same as mine. But this part is very illuminating:
According to their translation, the posthumous title "Chung" for loyalty (I removed "loyalty" from my translation because it's the Chinese version of that word), was gone with King Gongmin, as this adviser observed when Eun Soo arranged the names. All the king's titles under Yuan's interference start with Chung, but King Gongmin does not have "chung" to his name. Meaning, this king succeeded in becoming independent from Yuan dynasty. Capable king and he did by standing up for his beliefs.
