Faith Ep 11 (Eng Subs/Translation) Min Ho Korean Drama Great Doctor


Here we go! English subs are already out, I know. But here is my translation from the Chinese subs (which is more accurate than the usual summarized English subs). Note epdrama's English translation is very different from the Chinese subs (at the part where Choi Young meets with the elder man Yi Che).

http://www.mapleto.com/node/59356/%E4%BF%A1%E7%BE%A9%28%E7%A5%9E%E9%86%AB%29-%E7%AC%AC11%E9%9B%86-the-faith-ep-11/

We start off from where Ep 10 left off.

Choi Young: Please delay a little time, until I return. (to royal guard) Go to Gunsong hall and inform Court Lady Choi.
Royal guard: Yes.

Girly guy: Have you seen a carriage escorted by privately-owned soldiers?  (zine ed: soldiers not of the court).
Choi Young: (to boy behind bars) Do you know doc god?
Boy/Seong Gye: Yes.
Choi Young: Know where she went? Seen her?

Soo In: Among which of the three...Ahh.. I heard persuading people is very frustrating. Can't we just kill her? I'll ask you one last time. If you don't answer, I'll...
Eun Soo:  And then? If I give the answer out of the three people, what will you do?
Soo In:  Let us kill the one among the three who is the most precious to you, let us tune you until you are obedient.
Eun Soo: Tune?
Soo In: Yes. That's my brother disciple's method. Once he wishes to have someone, will first tidy up the people beside her. Until between heaven and earth, except for him, there is no place else to go.
Eun Soo: Perhaps...
Soo In: Perhaps what?
Eun Soo: The person who gave Lord Gyung Chang poison was also...
Soo In: Of course it was given by my disciple brother, although it was Choi Young who made the young lord take the poison. You didn't know? Didn't you know? What are you going to do? Who to kill first? Quickly, just anyhow name one. 
Eun Soo: Do whatever you like.
Soo In: What?
Eun Soo:  This type of unreasonable question, I will definitely not answer. So, up to you guys.
Soo In: What about the patient we captured? Frustrate us, he'll have to die first.
Eun Soo:  Whatever you want. (to Eum Ja) Make way.  You guys can't kill me yet, this I still know. Except for me,  none of my business whether you want to kill other people or not.
Eum Ja: (senses the vibration in the ground) Two, three... five.

Royal guard: Doc god!
Eum Ja: That woman is leaving? 
Soo In: She really don't care, except for herself, whether others die or not?
Eum Ja:  Want to find out?

Royal guard: You guys are the ones who kill innocent people in broad daylight?
Royal guard: Plus kidnapped doc god.
Royal guard: (as Eum Ja plays his flute) Capture them!

Eun Soo: Stop it! Just stop it!
Royal guard: Captain, they killed the scholar and took doc god...
Choi Young: What do you want? Are you going to continue or leave?
Soo In: What shall we do?
Eum Ja: It will be troublesome to fight.
Soo In: What we wanted to know, we more or less already know. (to Eun Soo) No matter how I look at it, still the person beside you is the first. Anytime also come to look for you. Every time, without exception. Goodbye then.

(zine ed: meaning, the first, most precious person Eun Soo would have chosen among the three. Hmm... Soo In looks a little sad that Eun Soo has Choi Young's love.).

Royal guard: Do we just let them off like that, Captain?
Choi Young: Stay put. You guys are not their match. (to Eun Soo) Are you Ok? (to his men) Escort doc god back to herb hall, then wait there for orders.

(^__^ Look at Deok Man... so big guy and so helpless with Eun Soo. I love the sound of the horses and the man's voice coming up from behind. Very dangerous-sexy sounding. And Choi Young galloping up from behind.... he looks cool-sexy on the horse and fed up at the same time. Look at his face. Fed up and tired.)

King: What you hope is that I do nothing? Being a king and yet not display my kingly posture?
Ki Cheol: Does your Majesty know why you are at a dead end while I am so confident? Because your Majesty has too much that you hang onto. The thing that you most cannot let go is wanting to be a good king. The good king praised by the citizens.
King: This displeases you?
Ki Cheol: The citizens do not expect a king who treasures the citizens. 
King: Don't expect? 
Ki Cheol: The citizens. Regardless of how you treat them,  there will still be many who are dissatisfied. So need to appropriately lie, suppress, and just give them rice to eat will do.  If eat too much rice, will rebel. So need to appropriately, give slightly less than. 
Choi Young:  The princess at Gunsong hall is fine and safe. Doc god has also safely returned to herb hall.  
King: What about the people? How are the people on the name list?
Choi Young: 5 persons within Gaekyeung city lost their lives. A note was left on every one of their bodies. Chi (knowing)  Kua (after) Peer (must) Ke (change). Knowing one's mistake must change.  It was thus written.

King: 5 persons.
Ki Cheol: This is not just within Gaekyeung city. Consider this a warning to all of Goryeo.
King: So? Next time, no one will want to be my people?
Ki Cheol: At least there will be fewer.
King: On the 15th of this month, there will be a book banquet. When that time comes, my people will teach me how to be a good king. You can come listen too.
Ki Cheol: Your majesty's people is it?
King: In Goryeo, there are citizens who aren't afraid, not satisfied with just having a full stomach, and hope to have a good king. I will show you.

(I love the look on Ki Cheol's face as he looks at the king while burning his hand into Choi Young's shoulder)

Ki Cheol:  Fine. The 15th of this month, your Majesty's people, I look forward to seeing them.
King: See you then. (to Choi Young) Captain.
Choi Young: Your Majesty, this is nothing. Better go to Gunsong hall first.
King: From now on, the princess must be where I live at Kangan hall. Court Lady Choi, until it can be guaranteed that all danger is removed at Gunsong hall, I will keep at this. (to princess) Today, Lord Deok Song government House came.
Empress: I also heard of it.
King: He threatened me with your life.
Empress: This, I also heard.

(wah... her information is pretty good).

King: So...(releases her hand) So...
Empress: I want.. to be with you.
King:  Ok.
Lady Choi: We walk a little slower, distance ourselves a little further.

(Awwww..... ^___^)

(flashback)
Soo In: Ask me to first kill the person you treasure most. Until you are good and obedient, ask me to tune you well. Seems to me the first one is the person by your side who protects you. He is always rushing over to protect you. For you, every time.

Eun Soo:  You guys Ok?
Royal guards: Yes, we are fine.

Seong Gye: It's true! They all say the royal guard captain is really great! I heard you 1 person can hold against 100 people.
Choi Young: You still believe such a thing?
Seong Gye: And someone said he saw it with his own eyes.  Once the captain swings his sword... One swing of the sword can kill off two to three people! Oh. Is that that sword? Is this the miraculous sword?
Choi Young: Listen well.
Seong Gye: Yes.
Choi Young: Number One, don't covet another person's sword blade.  (covet = hunger for. The Korean sound of "tam" is similar to Chinese "tan" which means to be greedy for.)
Seong Gye: I'm sorry. 
Choi Young: Number Two, if there were 100 people after me, must escape without turning back.
Seong Gye: What?
Choi Young: Only need to kill the 1 person standing behind the 100 people will do. Why go to war, right?

(Ahh... Choi Young shouldn't teach him this. Probably that's how the boy grew up remembering this and killed Choi Young since Choi Young would be in a position of controlling people as a general in future).

Seong Gye: Ah yes, the 1 person behind.

Choi Young: Your ear...
Eun Soo: It's fine already. The injuries of your men, I have also "checked" finish. Ah, I mean, I have already taken a look and there aren't any seriously injured person. Everyone will be fine.
Choi Young: Yes, those guys will be fine. That... Let's talk a little. It's just now that kid, right? The person who will kill me in future. But no matter how I look at it, doesn't look like he'll kill me.  

(zine ed: Yeah, that's what I said in the raw post earlier. The kid doesn't look like he'll kill Choi Young because the kid is innocent and not evil. Then again... a person changes as he grows.).

Choi Young: I want to request his Majesty. Request that he give me some time and allow me to leave the palace. If his Majesty allows, I will accompany you to heaven's door.
Eun Soo: Even if go there, there is no way to guarantee that heaven's door is open.
Choi Young: No way of guaranteeing.
Eun Soo: Choi Young, there are a lot of things that you and his Majesty have to do, right?
Choi Young: Yes.
Eun Soo: You want to honor the promise you made to me? 
Choi Young: If you remain here, it will be more and more dangerous, so...
Eun Soo: Because I know about future matters? That's why that Ki Cheol wants to have me?
Choi Young: There will be more and more people who want to have you.  (zine ed: including himself? ^_^) So, before even more people know, it's better lady leaves.
Eun Soo: There's a question I would like to know the answer to.
Choi Young: Say it.
Eun Soo:  That time when I wanted to escape by myself, and fell down the hillside... the person who saved me, was you, right?  It was you, right?  If that day, you felt I was in danger of being with him, you would have fought, right? To save me.
Choi Young: Because I once promised...
Eun Soo: In order to protect me, in order to let me go back.
Choi Young: Yes.
Eun Soo: Then if you and Ki Cheol fought, would you be able to win him?  (zine ed: No, this was proven earlier at court today >.<)
Choi Young:  Will lose. I will. 
Eun Soo: In your world, the meaning of lose means die, right?  
Choi Young: In battle, the meaning of lose is death. 
Eun Soo: I see. I will consider it as well. 
Choi Young: Now, why are you not smiling? Are you only like this because you're in front of me? Or have you decided not to smile from now on? 

(zine ed: But actually, she hasn't smiled much, except for that time when she sang for the boy king and laughed. If he is concerned about her smile, it means he really loves her quite a lot. He's in it deeper than her but she still does not know that he came back to life because of her/for her.)

Soo In:  What to do with that fellow Choi Young?  
Ki Cheol: Compared to 2000 imperial soldiers, Choi Young that fellow is even more valuable.
Soo In: Even so, unable to have him. He doesn't seem to surrender that easily. 
Ki Cheol: Once I have him, I'll naturally have a solution.  Very simple.
Soo In: What is it?
Ki Cheol: Only need to obtain the king that he serves with his whole heart will do. Then he will automatically submit to me.  This will be his limit that he is unable to surpass.  After all, among all this, who has the possibility of becoming king?
Adviser: Here are the names of some people. 
Ki Cheol: I can't be bothered to look. Regardless of who it is, as long as appear at the king's book banquet, need to kill. 
Ki Cheol's bro: At the book banquet, those royal guards will surely be prepared.
Ki Cheol: I want to ask the Seven Evils to come.
Adviser: Seven Evils? Isn't that the vicious group of assassins? If something goes wrong, and can't control the situation...
Ki Cheol: I want to get rid of and change the present king. But before that, I want him to clearly see his own weakness.
Soo In: What about doc god? Do we drag her here or leave her there?
Ki Cheol: Although many uses, a stupid woman who doesn't know the ways of the world. The king and Choi Young are not longer around, where else can she go? She will crawl in herself.

Il Shin adviser: This shows that this Goryeo country has many people who are not intimidated by threats, and many people long for the birth of a monarch. Ah, that's great! This time, Lord Deok Song government house will have to suffer a setback.
King: I said it's the 15th of this month.
Choi Young: Yes, I heard.
King: At that time, gather my people to let him see.
Choi Young: Yes.
Adviser: Your Majesty, this is definitely not difficult! Your Majesty, people waiting to give their lives in your Majesty's service are everywhere! Your Majesty can give them a sign.
King: A sign?
Adviser:  Don't you have doc god? She's the doc god who descended from heaven. Not only did she save the princess, she also saved the royal guard captain's life. Ssangseong's official's son nearly died, was saved in not even half a day! And she also knows all matters of this life and next life. Such a person is at your Majesty's side.  I have already spread this everywhere. All of Goryeo will know of this matter.

Choi Young: Your Majesty.
King: I am worrying too.
Choi Young: If we let doc god make an appearance again at such a time...
King: I said I also know she will be in danger! But now, there also isn't any other solution!
Choi Young: After the people have gathered, Lord Deok Song government House will kill them. After threatening them, will make them submit to him. Then in what way is your Majesty different now?
King: You're asking me in what way I am different?  Are you saying I am the same as him?
Choi Young: Isn't it so? Those people keep saying heaven and the future whatever, you are confused by what these people say. You want to show off to the world that you have got everything.
King: You greatly diminish your king in this way. Then you at least have thought of a countermeasure?
Choi Young: I will gather your Majesty's people.
King: Gather my people? How?
Choi Young: Without using doc god, can also gather them. Wouldn't that do?
King: Then tell me "to let doc god go back safely? Because this is what I promised".
Choi Young:   That goes without saying.
King: You this person...what exactly... As my number One loyal subject, no matter when and where, you actually reprimand me angrily and loudly?
Choi Young:  You're fussing over such a small matter?

(zine ed: Arghhhh..... he's pushing his luck, it's not a small matter. I think it's because he's like a teacher and friend to the king. And the king is young. So, as a teacher, he doesn't give face to the king and surprisingly isn't afraid to "teach".).

Choi Young: Compared to the subjects you have to face later, I am an incomparably docile person. Are you afraid?

(zine ed: Docile meh?? O.o) 

King: Compared to you, Choi Young, there will be even more unreasonable subjects?
Choi Young:  Can it not be so?
King: Fine, that sort of subjects, I want to see what they look like.
Choi Young: Then I will bring them. Then doc god...
King: I will let her go back.

Ssangseong Prefecture Official: I should have hurried over earlier to thank you. Was very busy with official business and only got here now.
Doc Jang: I will pass on what you said to doc god then.
Official: Doc god isn't here?
Doc god: It's difficult to see her in person.

(zine ed: Wahhh... become big-name person already).

Seong Gye: Father, I've personally seen her before.  People will feel that a fairy looks just like her.
Official: Concerning her beauty and medical skills,  I have heard it many times on my way here. When I return to Ssangseng (Ssangseong), I will also spread word of doc god's deeds. People of Yuan, if they heard of these things will also be very surprised and envious.

(flashback)
Choi Young: Now you have lost your smile?
Eun Soo: How can it be? Yoo Eun Soo, don't worry, be happy. You can do it! (writing) From Gaekyung, to mountain peak ridge road, and where else need to go?
Deok Man: Need to go to Seokyung. From there, approach Yunzhong du (island), then after Yonju...
(SeoKyung is today's Pyong yang. SeoKyung means 'Korea's West Capital').

Eun Soo: Hang on. Seokyung, Yunchong du...
Doc Jang: What are you doing?
Eun Soo: To ask somebody the way, need to know a little then can ask. Oh, what's after Seokyung, Yunchong du?
Deok Man:  After going to Yonju, head towards the east and walk near to the country's border.

(hahaha... ^__^ Doc Jang takes away her inkbrush... not letting her leave). 

Doc Jang: Where do you want to go?
Eun Soo: If I went and asked him, will he give? Such a pervert like Lord Deok Song government House Ki Cheol, if I asked from him, will he give to me? Definitely not. So, I have decided to give up. Forget it. I want to go to heaven's door and keep waiting there. Since it opened once, surely it will open again.
Doc Jang: Come over here.
Eun Soo: So going there, the journey is very far, right? I need some money for the journey. I was thinking of asking some money from the princess. How much do I need?  I don't know how the currency here is counted. 
Doc Jang: You want to ask money for the journey from the princess?
Eun Soo: Well, I did surgery on her. I think she'll give. 
Doc Jang: Have you discussed this with the royal guard captain? You haven't even told him and you want to go to such a faraway place?  You really got guts. 
Eun Soo:   Prepare men's clothes for me.  I watched those people in historical dramas, they do that when they go on a long journey. After disguising in men's clothes, put on a hat...
Doc Jang: Being here, you are afraid? The royal guards will protect you. This alone still cannot set your heart at ease? 
Eun Soo: Now the greatest person I fear is myself. I'm afraid being here, I will do something. I don't know these things. I'm very afraid. I don't want to be responsible for politics and history. I hate those things the most.


Ki Cheol:  You've come?
Adviser:  You killers, dare to come so near to his lordship. Step a little away. Anything to say, say it a little farther away.
Ki Cheol: Where and who to kill, I will tell you when the time comes. The price is same as before. Oh yes, one of you needs to keep watch over a woman. I want to know her every move.

Guy with spear: Let's go catch him.  I will find a good location and get it prepared for you. The place that I have been with him. Choi Young is also not your match, right?
Boy with arrow: Perhaps.
Spear guys: Definitely will win!
Arrow boy: Oh, it's this house.
Spear: Let's bet. Let's bet on three four rounds. Then I won't plead with you again.  If you ignore me like this... I'll really...
Choi Young: What can you do?
Spear: I will definitely be sad, right?
Choi Young: Is this the residence of  Yi Sek Sonseng? We came to see him. ("Sonseng" in Chinese means
"大人" which is a term of respect, equivalent to the Japanese "sama".)

Spear: Can't be him, right? I heard he's Goryeo's best scholar.
Arrow:  A scholar then no need to sleep is it?
Scholar: What?!!
Choi Young: I'm captain of the royal guards, Choi Young.
Scholar:  So troublesome!
Choi Young:  Hey,  is this the house?
Spear: Seems not.
Spear: He can't be the person who became at scholar at 14 yrs old, and obtained first place in the exams many times in Yuan and here, right?
Arrow: It's him. Should be him, right?
Choi Young: Are you Yi Sek Sonseng? 
Scholar: It's so darn hot, don't block the wind, get away.
Choi Young: I came here on royal order.
Scholar: Royal order... go take a crap.
Choi Young:   Scholar Yi Sek! Kneel and receive the imperial edict!
Scholar:  Royal order, what exactly is it that you're hitting me for? Is that something to be eaten or worn? Give it to me. I'll receive it!  Hurry, give it to me!
Choi Young: I have a message to pass to your teacher.
Scholar:  Teacher speaks differently from you warriors. Even if pass the message, he will also not understand it.
Choi Young: You who thinks you're a scholar, only know how to speak in roundabout way. Just afraid for your life and hiding. You pass the message to your teacher: I am the captain of his Majesty's royal guard team. If he has the courage to meet me, get in touch with me.
Dae Man: Captain!!

Doc Jang: Where did doc god go? She took everything in here with her?

(zine ed: this servant girl is actually pretty. Now more so with her two ponytails. Nice shiny hair. I first noticed she was pretty and that she was quite tall in the earlier episode where she pulled a cart)

Eun Soo: Following mountain peak ridge road to Seokyung... Oh, may I ask directions? How to go to Seokyung? Go from here, or go from there?  Then this road is going towards mountain peak ridge road? Can you understand what I'm saying?!  He doesn't know? (got caught by Choi Young) What are you doing?
Choi Young:  Yeah, what are you doing?
Eun Soo: This is not something you should care about. Let go of me!
Choi Young: Didn't I tell you to protect her well?
Deok Man: What can I do? She just thinks of running away secretly! Keep running away and can't catch back. Can only watch her like this, that's how I got here. 
Choi Young: Dae Man. 
Dae Man: Yes.
Choi Young: Go get a horse over here. 
Dae Man: Not two but 1 horse? 
Choi Young: Although I don't know why, that person, I've already taught her to ride a horse. One horse, bring over here. 
Dae Man:  Understood!
Choi Young: You wait here then for further orders.
Deok Man: Yes. 
Choi Young: So saying, this is all you are thinking of? Just you alone want to go to heaven's door? What should be taken, in the end still taken. 
Eun Soo: That's the medical treatment fee that I received. Yi Seong Gye's family gave me. No matter how I think of it, it's strange. 
Choi Young: Why are you not in the least bit afraid? Do you know what sort of place that is? You dare to 1 person...
Eun Soo: Are you still going to be such a nag following me? 
Choi Young: I am in the middle of considering. Whether to take you back by force. Or talk you out of it.
Eun Soo: Let's break the promise from here on. 
Choi Young: What's the meaning? 

(zine ed:  ^__^ suddenly he looks so vulnerable and lost, suddenly stop looking like the brave, hard warrior. Blinking, afraid of what he thinks she means. Like a puppy. Aww...) 

Eun Soo: It's as I have said. I will forget you kidnapped me. The matter has already come to this stage, what else can be done to correct it? Just take it that my life is bad, will forget it for you. So the promise to send me back, I would like to take it that it never happened. 
Choi Young: Meaning turn the promise to smoke? 
Eun Soo: That's it. 
Choi Young: I said I want to honor the promise. You're afraid that in order to protect you, I'll lose my life? 

(zine ed: Ehh... how did he know? ^__^)

Eun Soo: That...
Choi Young: So saying... that's why you decided to go to heaven's door alone? For my sake? 
Eun Soo: Handshake. Do you know? 
Choi Young: Don't know. 
Eun Soo: In my world, first time meeting, happy that long time didn't see, and at the end when parting, will shake each other's hand. Here, take my hand. Quick. 
Choi Young: It was a promise that I made. So I will decide whether to cancel it or not.
Eun Soo: Please wait a moment! 
Choi Young: So please wait for me gently and quietly for another few more days. 
Eun Soo: If you drag me back by force like this, I will run away again! 
Choi Young:  You say run away?
Eun Soo: Let me go.  I can't bear to see someone die in front of me again. And don't want to get involved in your world. And I don't want to shed any more tears for you. So, just let me leave. 
Choi Young: How can I let you leave? Let you, a lady alone here. 
Eun Soo: Please don't protect me anymore. I don't need your protection any more. Agreement, promise, want to end all these is easy. Just let it end like this. From now on. 

(zine ed: How come it looks like a break up? ^_^)

Royal guard: They are all here.
Choi Young: Imperial commander royal guard Choi Young, heard your call and specially hurried over. 
Man: Today, we have a few questions to ask you. Will you open your heart and answer with all sincerity? 
Choi Young: As you wish.
Man: Sit. 
Guy: Choi Young, fifth generation descendent of Peongjang Yoo Chung... Father was Secretary for Constitutional Affairs... all patrols of Young Kyung road were enquired of, and he was once the youngest member of Red Moon team. In the 7 years that red moon team disbanded, protected the previous king in the name of royal guard.

(Hmm... Choi Young is curiously fidgety while seated. Bored? ^_^)

Man: Earlier when we were in the secretary ministry, I was friends with your father.
Choi Young: Is it.
Man/Yi Che: Your father once privately said: "There are some stories that I want to leave to my son". Heard of it?
Choi Young: Before he passed away, the words he said to me were, "Seeing gold is like seeing rocks".
Yi Che:   Treat gold as rocks, eh.
Choi Young: Yes.
Yi Che: I already have some understanding of you. As the new King's right hand, you can fully display your capabilities.  Even metal pot also cannot be accounted for, let alone gold that can be treated as rocks.

(zine ed:  No idea what the old guy means. It's a proverb with hidden meaning. However,  the Chinese translation is accurate based on the Korean words Yi Che is saying. "Huang Geum" is "Huang Jin" for gold in Chinese. Epdrama totally skipped this part and translated it as something else completely.)

Choi Young: You asked me here just to ask about these matters?
Yi Che: Why is it the current king?
Choi Young: What?
Yi Che: In the past 7 years, whether towards birth or tribute, you who have no sentimental feeling for all of the world's matters, why is it suddenly the current king? 
Choi Young:  Are you now asking me to evaluate the king? 
Yi Che:   People like us no longer have any sentimental feelings towards the Goryeo royal family.  The remaining years, is just to live and let live like this. To people like us, clarify for us why is it the current king. 

(zine ed: The Chinese subs is "留恋", which means nostalgia/sentimental feeling, cannot bear to part with something).

Lady Choi: The person the royal guard captain Choi Young is meeting today is Mr Yi Che. Not just in Goryeo, among the scholars born of Han tribe in Yuan, he also has a very deep and wide people connection.
Empress: If it's Mr Yi Che, I already knew of him when I was in Yuan. 
King:  Was he the one who previously, when Yuan wanted to incorporate Goryeo and moreover during the Pro-yuan faction battle, personally went to Yuan and proposed chancery opposition into the city?
Lady Choi: Yes. Luckily for Mr Yi Che, then was able to organize prevention of entering the city. Everyone thinks so. 
Empress: Will such a person agree to come over? 

King: What are your thoughts?
Lady Choi: This... A bold person, actually can't be bothered with petty politics. So, it's difficult to say. 

YiChe: The new king, in your eyes, is he very intelligent? 
Choi Young: He is very intelligent.
Yi Che: What about the merciful heart towards the people? Is it deep?
Choi Young: I haven't seen how he treats the citizens, so I'm not too sure. 
Yi Che: Is his pride against Yuan dynasty very strong? 
Choi Young: I think so. 

Yi Che: For our Goryeo's self independence, will he risk his own life?  
Choi Young: I haven't tried, so I don't know.
Yi Che: Then I will ask you this. If we offer our lives to the new king, what will the king give us in return? 
Choi Young: Before this, can I first ask a question?  
Yi Che: I'm listening.
Choi Young: What sort of person exactly, are you guys expecting of the king?  The ability of Zhuge Liang the moment he is born? Like a Bodhisattva of compassion towards the citizens, endow wealth and fame to people who follow him, with a long life... Are you waiting for such a king? Am I right? So now you're being overcritical?

(zine ed: Zhuge Liang in Chinese history was a genius military strategist and statesman.)


Yi Che: I'll ask you again. Choi Young, why is it the current king? 
Choi Young: Because he is a king that I chose based on my own awareness.

(zine ed: Well, it's obvious what the old man is asking. Because Choi Young never cared about the world for 7 years, so what's so special about this king that makes Choi Young bother. And Choi Young has given the correct answer. Basically, what the old man is asking is, "Why this king?" "What's so special about this King that has made you come out of 7 years of not caring?".)

Yi Che: What caused you to make this choice?
Choi Young: Because weak, frightened,  hesitate when deciding, and often regretful of things that he did, but this person... knows shame. 
Yi Che: Shame? 
Choi Young: So it made me decide.  Before this person, because of shame becomes stupid, I want to protect him.   Are you satisfied with this answer?
Yi Che: You asked us to participate in his Majesty's book banquet on the 15th of this month?  
Choi Young: Indeed.
Yi Che: Participating in this book banquet implies following the king and that sense of shame. But to fulfill this, we must first live on. So, need to protect our lives. Can you promise that?

(flashback)
So must protect our lives. Can you promise that? 


Eun Soo: Here.
Deok Man: Thanks! 
Eun Soo: Because of me, you've suffered. I can go by myself. 
Deok Man: No, you won't be able to go alone. There're bandits, and Yuan people who specialize in kidnapping women. Anyway,  no problem. Actually, here is even better.

King: So, does he intend to come, Mr Yi Che?
Choi Young: He will.
King: Without any price?
Choi Young: Price... in future will always ask for. But this matter, I'll leave it to your Majesty to see to it well.
King: Ahh.. telling me to see to it well, eh.
Choi Young: Doc god has been sent away.
King: I heard. She didn't even bid me and the princess goodbye before leaving just like that.
Choi Young: Because when she bids goodbye, there's possibility she'll be captured.
King: You really must win in every sentence.
Choi Young: Your Majesty.
King: What? What are you going to nag about?
Choi Young:  My brothers the royal guards, even without orders, are also self-disciplined. Are able to handle most situations. Please keep them by your side always.
King: But of course.
Choi Young: If Mr Yi Che can come,  it's possible to rebuilt Goryeo's three excellencies divisions. I heard the princess is staying with you at Kangan Hall.
King: This.. Is to handle all kinds of situations.
Choi Young: I hope you will handle them well.

(zine ed: Choi Young sounds like he's leaving. I think the king also knows this, by the king's reaction at the end of this conversation.)

Lady Choi: The 7 Evils have come to GaeKyung.
Choi Young: The 7 Evils? You mean that group of assassins?
Lady Choi: Yes.
Choi Young: Who called them here?
Lady Choi : Who else?
Choi Young: This person... does he really want to kill everyone who has come to his Majesty?
Lady Choi: Don't tell me you want to handle them? Just you?
Choi Young: In the midst of considering. 
Lady Choi : You said you were going to protect them, right? From old man Yi Che to all those around him.
Choi Young: You get your information really fast. It was just last night the matter was discussed.
Lady Choi: I heard you rascal's stomach was stabbed through by a blade, don't tell me wind got in at that time and still didn't get out? What can you do to protect all of them?

(zine ed: Lady Choi  is being sarcastic. Like it's air inside Choi Young and not substance. Like "Are you nuts?")

Choi Young: Even you, aunt, can't believe?
Lady Choi: I have already said many times. To Lord Deok Song government House, not just doc god is a toy to him, his Majesty, this world and citizens are all just his toys.
Choi Young: So, you're saying I have no strength to stop him, right?
Lady Choi: Then do you have?
Choi Young:  Mae Hee, she also didn't believe. That I could protect her. That person...also don't believe.
Lady Choi: That person?
Choi Young: Aunt..
Lady Choi: Speak.
Choi Young: Mae Hee ... I can't remember what she looks like.
Lady Choi: What?
Choi Young: Been too long, I don't remember clearly anymore.
Lady Choi: So what?
Choi Young: At this rate, if we really meet in another world and also can't recognize each other, what to do? This won't do. So before then, before really forget, need to see her.
Lady Choi: What are you saying exactly?

(zine ed: Ohh... he wants to go and "meet" his past dead love. Meaning, he wants to go kill himself to see her. No wonder he prepared everything and so early. Even when he talked with the king, he had already decided before then.  He makes decisions so fast and quietly without hesitation.)

Choi Young: I have decided to do what I can.
Lady Choi: What is it that you can do?
Choi Young: What father has always said. The greatest battle strategy, is the simplest. I'm leaving first.

(flashback)
King: You... hate me, don't you?
Choi Young: Me?
King: From the start. From before we met, you started hating me, right? The only person I can trust, is you, Captain. (in prison) Teach me. How should I fight to get you out?

Empress: Choi Young... that person?
Lady Choi: I just feel uneasy.
Empress: If this uneasy feeling is right, then should stop him.
Lady Choi: Once he has decided on something, ten horses also cannot drag him back. This I know very well.
Empress: Even if I ask him to come, by order, also cannot?
Lady Choi: He is no longer at the military barracks. I went to his room, discovered that he had cleared out everything.
Empress: Then what shall we do?
Lady Choi: Perhaps, there is still one person.... If it's that person.
Empress: That person?
Lady Choi: Maybe can change his mind.
Empress: Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly!

Spear: It's tonight. One month only 1 chance. Miss this one, will need to wait a month. I have already drawn out the travel road.
Choi Young: Date and time are all accurate?
Spear: It's the same day for all these 4 months. Because their activities are not to be seen by daylight, so it's in the middle of the night, and between late afternoon and dusk. 
Choi Young: Accompanying people?
Spear: Following previous occasions, about 3 or 4 persons.
Choi Young: Good job.
Spear: You're really going alone?
Choi Young: What use is there bringing you? Take up your spear.
Spear: My spear? Why?
Choi Young: End! Stab! Block! Hit! Win! The look in your eyes is wrong.
Spear: What's wrong with the look in my eyes?!
Choi Young: Your eyes keep looking at the next area to attack.
Spear: Did I?
Choi Young: A person who tells his opponent what cards he has, how can he win? 
Arrow: Captain...  Not practicing with me? Really! Not practicing with me?!

Woman: Ok, I know.
Deok Man: Doc god. We can stay the night here. (Lady Choi arrives) Oh? Why have you come?
Eun Soo: How do you do.
Lady Choi: Let's talk. (to Deok Man) Watch the wind, don't let anyone near. (to Eun Soo) I think that rascal will listen to you.
Eun Soo: That rascal, is who?
Lady Choi: Choi Young, my nephew.
Eun Soo: What happened?
Lady Choi: Seems something is going to happen, so I came to ask for your favor. Don't know if you've seen the sword that that rascal wears? That was left to him by his master. The hilt is lined with an old string. That string is actually his fiancee's.  (zine ed:  I know it's actually a cloth, not a string, but the Chinese subs is "string").
Eun Soo: Fiancee? Was he engaged?
Lady Choi: Seems to be. Seemed to be a private lifelong commitment.  They once agreed to hold a marriage ceremony once the country became peaceful and prosperous.
Eun Soo: "Once..." meaning...
Lady Choi: She died. That was 7 years ago. They were originally disciple brother and sister in the same martial arts clan. But their master was killed by the king at that time. The reason being his disciple sister. Unable to bear the guilt, she "self ended" a few days later.
Eun Soo: Self ended? Killed herself?
Lady Choi: Since then, that rascal Young, became a walking dead. If not sleeping like a pig, then it's throwing his life away fighting. As he is, recently there has been a little change. He seems to have something to look forward to. I think this is all thanks to doc god. The person that that rascal always mentions, is you, doc god, right?
Eun Soo: I'm not sure...
Lady Choi:   You told him you didn't believe in him? Said you didn't need him anymore, is that so? So that rascal seems to have found another place that needs him. I think ... he is looking for death, doc god.

Dae Man: Captain...
Choi Young: Go back to the palace. Go back and pass my message to the vice captain.
Dae Man: I'm not going back!
Choi Young: Rascal, what did you say?
Dae Man: I want to follow you, Captain.
Choi Young: I have said, I am going alone.
Dae Man: I want to follow.
Choi Young:  You damn rascal!  Need to set the trap well and wait for them to step into it.  I alone then can have winning chance.
Dae Man: Trap? Hunting pigs? I specialize in it.  It's really setting a trap?
Choi Young: Why?
Dae Man: Didn't Captain once say "direct breakthrough"?
Choi Young: You also think it's strange, eh.   What is there worth feeling nostalgic for? Dae Man.
Dae Man: Yes.
Choi Young: Seems like I'm afraid.
Dae Man: What?

(zine ed: because he knows he can't win using direct confrontation. He has to set trap)

Choi Young: If you dare follow me again, don't expect to see me again for the rest of your life.
Dae Man: Captain....
Choi Young: What I say... I mean.

Deok Man: Are you Ok alone? I will go find a horse quickly...
Ki Cheol: That rascal is coming to look for me. That rascal who is valued by doc god and the king, captain of the royal guards, says he is coming to look for me desperately.

(zine ed: There's a mistake in the Chinese writing in that note. The word "殊" is written wrong in that message. 殊死 means a last desperate effort. Taken to mean he'll be risking his life in coming. The note itself reads from right to left: "Royal guard Choi Young, desperately visiting, Lord Deok Song government House")

(flashback)
If you fight with Ki Cheol, will you win him?
Will lose. I will.
In this world, to lose means to die?
In a fight, if lose, that's what it means.
