More accurate with more information than English subs.
(Update 26 Sept Wed) Although this time the English subbed version by the Faith team is pretty good, I think the Chinese subbed version is still more accurate.
For example, Choi Young was injured in his right thigh by Ki Cheol, but they English-subbed it as "left thigh". This version is on Kimchi1st, but I also found it on Youtube which I watched on my phone in bed last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9vdiXmmSlo
The Chinese subs matches the Korean words/pronunciation. Chinese equivalent words are also matching the Korean words, compared to English which doesn't have equivalents for certain words.

Starting where Ep 12 left off... Translating from the Chinese subs in the above link:
Eun Soo: Lord Deok Song government House gave you this, right?
Deok Kun: That's right.
ES: Then you and that Lord government House are in the same gang?
Deok: Yes... With that person.
ES: What did he say when he gave you this? He wouldn't gift it to me for nothing, right?
Deok: Naturally cannot gift it to you for nothing. "As long as let her see you holding this, she'll surely follow you".
ES: How could there be such a person as you who makes fun of people!
Deok: This, what is it? Why is this so important?
(zine ed: Deok Kun says "Zhung young", which means important. The Chinese word is "zhong yao". The 2 languages sound very close).
ES: There is no need for you to know. Go tell that Ki Cheol. I don't need whatever notebook. Want to play, ask him to play by himself! And you, get out. This is not a place where anyone can enter.
Deok: I heard you are a person from heaven. And saved people's lives, and predict the future.
ES: I asked you to get lost.
Deok: Seeing how much that Ki Cheol believes, it seems to be the truth. (she walks away) I am holding this. You're not coming with me?
(flashback)
ES: How about here? In our world, friends will go to pubs for some wine after a busy day. But there are no pubs in the palace, so we'll come here. Everyday at this time, we'll meet once.
ES: You guys use willow twigs to brush teeth, right? Add a little of this before brushing. This is toothpaste that I made. Morning and night, at least twice. With healthy teeth, will be able to fight better!
Deok Man: Oh, captain!
Choi Young: What are you guys doing? Vice captain, you...
Royal guard: It's break time, so...
CY: Break time then go take a big nap and replenish your strength, what are you all doing?
(zine ed: Choi Young says "Pu Chong" which means "replenish". Chinese subs pronunciation is "Bu chong". Again very close sounds).
CY: Didn't I tell you to go to Gunsong hall?
ES: I heard captain's room is over there. Let's go.
(zine ed: I like that she doesn't scold him for disciplining his soldiers. She knows when to poke her hand in and when not to. Her reaction to his refusal to show his hand is very strangely cute. ^_^ With his face so stiff and stern. ^_^)
ES: Hmm... So this is the captain's room. Oh... it's so small. Ah, have a seat first.
(zine ed: Small? I think it's big already. I had initially thought this was a room shared with the other guys coz they used to be here when he first appeared and he asked where his bed was.)
Choi Young: I want to go to see his Majesty. So I have to change, please excuse yourself...
ES: Come closer here to me. Too far, I can't see clearly. Or I go and obtain an order from the princess. "Doc god as Choi Young's attending physician, can any time any place capture him for diagnosis of his condition". Obtain this type of an order? (CY submits) How's the hand? The one that was injured by cold.
CY: It's fine now.
ES: This is... Undo your sleeve. Looks like needs a few stitches. It'll hurt without anesthetic. Bear with it. (uncorks a bottle) This is Mr Jang Bin brand antiseptic. Any other place?
(zine ed: Arghh... she's pressing his wound kinda hard!)
CY: No.
ES: That time, left shoulder and right thigh? (Shouldn't it be his right shoulder that was injured by KC's hand at court?)
CY: Only grazed the corner of my clothes.
(zine ed: ^_^ So, she wants to see his shoulder and thigh eh? ^_^ Imagine how she's going to see his thigh?! He would have to take off his pants! Or at least pull it up till there. And imagine her looking at his shoulder and being impressed with it... So, she really wants to see his thigh? ^__^ Actually, under his right forearm was also sliced by Ki Cheol's sword. )
ES: This will hurt.
CY: If you're done, then start. (exhales) You can return to the medical temple now. Although during this time, you also didn't quietly remain at Gunsong hall.
ES: Then what about those scary assassins?
CY: They won't come again.
ES: Wahh...you really can bear it. In our world, really cannot bear the pain. So need many things. Anesthetic, painkiller, or drink alcohol; there are even people who play games. All done. This is the last piece of plaster brought from heaven's world. Now it's going to finish, including those I brought with me. Try not to get it wet. I will check it once every 2 days.
CY: I have posted men near Heaven's hole. Ordered them to observe it day and night. Once discover any trace of a sign, will inform as soon as possible. Can also find a place for you to stay and wait nearby. But honestly, I'm rather worried about there. (Eun Soo nods and gets up walking) What's up with your walking?
ES: Why?
CY: Have you injured a leg?
ES: This knife. Too heavy. Why?
ES: Just looking. No matter how I look at it, I feel returning to my world needs a long time. So temporarily need to live here. What sort of world is this place? What is it like? So, this is what it's like. Seems like till now, I've never looked carefully. If look carefully and remember, afraid I will really not be able to leave this world.
(zine ed: At this point, do you hear a sound like her stomach made a hungry noise? Or could it an insect in the background?)
ES: What are your names? I'm Yoo Eun Soo.
Guard: I am Moon.
Guard: I am Lotus Samurai.
ES: What cosmetics do you both use? I should be able to help you guys with something. Those I brought are fast finishing. How do the elder sisters here do skincare?
King: You're back safely. I don't know how long I've waited.
Choi: Because I changed my clothes, so came late.
King: No need for this. No need to bother about trifles when you come to see me. (inside) Lord government House shouldn't be after the scholars again.
Choi: Rumor was spread that I was the only person who knew where the scholars were hiding. But when the assassins attacked me, none wanted to ask me. Only focused on killing me.
King: From the midst of those focused on killing you, you return alive.
Lady Choi: Just in case, still need to be careful and alert.
Choi: The matter of taking the scholars safely to the book banquet, I will do it. But the matter of letting them be safe, needs your Majesty to do it.
King: Let's try that. Those who defect to me, safely protect them.
Lady Choi: But...somehow, still feel worried.
King: Worried about what?
Lady Choi: If Lord government House has suddenly given up on assassinating the scholars, doesn't it imply he has some other plan?
King: Some other plan... What can it be?
Choi: Political intrigue, can't your Majesty do it? I only handle the defense against persons who attack.
Lady Choi: The words of His Majesty's captain bodyguard, are more and more nasty.
Choi: I'm sorry.
Ki Cheol: How did you feel after seeing?
Deok: Very interesting.
Ki Cheol: Isn't it. Doc god always tends to surprise those around her.
Deok: So? The reason you had to call me who was living in seclusion on the mountain, was to see that woman? That's all?
KC: Not just to see. Want to ask you to help me obtain her.
Deok: The king will not accede her to you? (zine ed: "accede to" = to surrender to/give in to)
KC: The young king, is still not quite clear about her true value.
Deok: Then.
KC: There is a royal guard by his Majesty's side. He is protecting doc god.
Deok: Royal guard?
KC: A senior official who now has his Majesty in his grasp. His Majesty caters to his mood.
Deok: Then just tidy up that royal guard, wouldn't that do?
KC: It will be that way very soon. Problem is... That woman's heart.
Deok: (laughs) I'm sorry, sorry. Because it was too funny, couldn't control myself.
KC: Doc god, I repeat once more, is not a woman of earth world. All that she knows, unless she's wants to, will definitely not reveal. I have tested it, so I know very well.
Deok: So then. You would have me obtain her heart.
KC: Yes.
Deok: If I obtain it?
KC: Give you what you want. Whatever that is.
Deok: Then what is it you wish to have, that needs doc god?
KC: Only doc god will do. What I want to have, is only doc god.
Vice captain: The scholars will be safe once they enter the palace. The first type is visible. Second type is cannot be seen. Arrangement completed.
Choi: From 9~11 a.m. tomorrow, they will arrive one by one. The place that your group needs to guard is from main door to the front of the side hall main door.
Royal guard: Understood.
Choi: The roof, need to set up archers?
Royal guard: Prepared every 5 steps, 1.
Choi: Below, is every 7 steps, 1. The rest all set them up on the roof.
Royal guard: Will the assassins group be coming?
Choi: How would I know? When the enemy is coming, will they first kindly inform then come?
(zine ed: Choi says "Jing Cha" which means "cordially" or "kindly". It matches the Chinese words "Qing Qie" which sound very close to the Korean. If I were the royal guard being whacked so embarrassingly like that by Choi Young, I would take it to heart and probably get my revenge on him by joining up with the bad guys. It hurts the ego.)
Royal guard: I was wrong.
Chusong: We are all set over here. For every person who comes, will have a 2-person group protecting. But...
Choi: But what?
Chusong: Those that can be sent to the outside area are too few.
Choi: I know.
Chusong: Then not enough manpower, what to do?
Choi: The outside area, Iet me handle it. The internal courtyard, if a rat enters...
Chusong: Not even an ant will be let in.
Choi: I'm leaving.
Vice-cap: Ant.
Elder Man: Kid, next time among the ranking of the tributes, our carriages...
Woman: Five. Arrange for them to be in.
Choi: Two.
Man: Rascal, you're too disrespectful to your teacher uncle.
(zine ed: The man says "Sa Shu" which is "Shi Shu" in Chinese. It means a teacher-disciple relationship in the same martial arts group. Since the man knew Choi Young's father, he is like an uncle to Choi Young.)
Choi: Two carriages.
Woman: Hey, rascal. So many scholars, including their family members, being hidden and guaranteed free food, lodging and clothing.
Man: How much does that cost? Should we count? Good. Let's count cent by cent. Let's see...that is...
Choi: Two carriages.
Woman: Looks like cannot. Take out all those stinking scholars and throw them away.
Choi: To think of throwing them out. Might as well invite them one by one and throw into the palace then.
Man: This rascal. Is a business person who is even better than us at calculating.
Choi: Whether it's selling medicine or jewels, you guys watch over the mobilization of your people.
Woman: Then our five carriages?
Choi: Two.
Woman: Fine. Three carriages!
Dae Man: Captain!
Choi: What?
Dae: Doc god! Doc god... she...
Choi: What's up with doc god?
Dae: She went to market. Over there, in the medicine alley, doc god personally...
Choi: The lady guards?
Dae: That... together.
Eun Soo: The scent is not bad. Is this Matcha (green tea)?
Woman: That's correct, it's Matcha.
ES: I have to buy this. It's full of Catechins and Vitamin C that have good beautifying effects.
Woman: What? (ES is shocked) What did you just say? I didn't understand.
ES: Ah, I was mumbling a little to myself, sorry. How much is this? I wish to buy one.
Man: This, this, (sees ladies drawing sword) what? This, I give to you free. Moreover, this is a little second grade, this...
Woman: Oh, I'll go get for you a few top grade.
Man: But these ladies, why is it I give you guys things, yet like this? Even take out swords, what do you want to do, what do you want to do?
Choi: What are you doing?
ES: They want to...
Woman: Choi Young... Really too beautiful!
Man: One look and I was also taken in, indeed a person from heaven.
ES: Meaning the manufacture of fragrant soap and cosmetics. Starting, give free to everyone. But once used it, will definitely not give up. Starting from the second time, have them buy.
Choi: You want to earn money?
ES: Yes! Especially target Goryeo's rich wives! That'll make me rich! Then I will become a rich, rich person in Goryeo! And I have already thought of the sales method. In that world of ours, there is a selling method called pyramid style. What is this... It is...
Man: Sis, did you see that?
Woman: I saw it.
Man: Saw that rascal was smiling, right?
Woman: He was smiling.
Man: Not those unfeeling smile.
Woman: Smiling very comfortably.
Man: Right?
Woman: Mm.
Deok Kun: Bumped into you here.
ES: Yes, we meet again.
Choi: Aren't you Chawan-sama? Who might this be?
[zine ed: There is no English equivalent for the Chinese term "大人" (direct translation would be "big person") in addressing Chawan, so I have used the Japanese equivalent of "sama". It's a term of address for someone who is above the speaker in rank/station].
Chawan: How dare you. Still not quickly show your respect?
Deok: It's you then? Said to be the royal guard who protects doc god.
Choi: Someone you know?
ES: Said he's the king's uncle.
Chawan: This is Lord Deok Kun-sama.
Deok: Out sightseeing? I also haven't been to GaeKyung in a long while, so came to stroll. Will you be strolling a while more? How about I take you for a stroll?
ES: Please go ahead yourself. We were just getting back. Let's go.
Choi: Have you met before?
ES: A few days ago, met before in the palace.
Choi: Why didn't you tell me?
ES: That's because...
Choi: Dae Man.
Dae Man: Yes, Captain!
Choi: Go pass this to Court Lady Choi. Lord Deok Kun is in the residence of Lord Government House.
Dae: Lord Deok Kun, Lord Government House.
Choi: Immediately.
Dae: Yes.
Choi: Henceforth, all of doc god's whereabouts, all that she says, need to exactly report to me and Court Lady Choi.
ES: I say, hang on.
Choi: What? Didn't we agree to say everything? Didn't we say to develop this type of relationship?
ES: No, I just...
Choi: Just what?
ES: The king's uncle said...
Choi: What did he say? (ES hesitates) Lady, this is a very important matter, the king has to know.
(zine ed: Choi Young says "Im Ja" which is subbed as "Gu Niang" in Chinese, meaning "Lady" or "Miss". I'm aware that in Ep14, the Eng subs explain that in Korean, it means "you, but respectful and slightly intimate". Update: 28 Sept Fri = I have confirmed with a Korean contact that "Im Ja" means "Lady" or "Ma'am" in that era. Click on this sentence to take you there.)
ES: My notebook that's in Ki Cheol's hands, he brought it. He even bragged about it and made me angry. So I said "no need". I said "I don't need those things. Hurry and get away.". I raised my temper at him.
Choi: Why?
ES: If I told you, you will again because you feel responsible, worry that I will not be able to have it, you will then say, "I should get it back for you". That's why I didn't say. Why?
[zine ed: Actually, when Min Ho stands behind a woman, he's an intimidating presence, as bad as a bad guy. Maybe because here he's wearing black (looks black although it's actually dark blue). But also in City Hunter when he is lying down in Nana's sofa and looking at her.]
Lady Choi: (to Dae Man) I know. You may return. (goes to princess' room) Your highness, it's Court Lady Choi. Said doc god wants to manufacture some kind of magical thing. Said it's something that can make women become beautiful. Need to buy the needed ingredients today, so went to the marketplace. (writes) Lord Deok Kun is in Lord Government House Ki Cheol's residence.
Princess: Who is Lord Deok Kun?
Lady Choi: At the moment, he is the only one of the king's clansman.
Princess: Then why did Ki Cheol call him out?
Lady Choi: I'm afraid it is to threaten the King's seat.
Princess: Till when will the spy still be kept?
Lady Choi: At the moment, don't know if there are others besides her. Moreover, still seem to have useful value, so have been keeping.
Princess: Tonight, I want to set up a wine banquet.
Lady Choi: What?
Princess: Do I have to say it twice? Tonight, I want to set up a wine banquet for his Majesty. So go prepare.
Lady Choi: Yes.
Man: Lord Deok Kun is King's Chunsun's bastard son whom he had with a palace woman.
Woman: From young, after being driven out of the palace with his mother, grew up moving from temple to temple.
Man: Precisely because he lived a very secluded life, he was able to live till now.
Woman: Yes, at the moment, besides the king, is the only royal clansman.
Man: That person Lord Deok Kun, I met him once before.
Choi: Did you personally see him?
Man: Yes. Seems to be when I went to Jinpu to do some trading. About 3 years ago. To send to the House of Courtesans (prostitutes) some items.
Woman: House of Courtesans?
Man: Yes. It was said there arrived a type of miracle medicine, that's why I went... Discovered a person wearing monk's robes being surrounded by the courtesans.
Woman: What, wearing monk's robes? And courtesans? And then?
Man: At that time, I saw him holding chess. (zine ed: It is not clear if he was playing it. Baduk is "Go", a game of siege chess)
Woman: Wearing monk's robe, courtesans and also chess?
King: They are people who came for my sake. I would like to bestow upon them suitable official posts. Even if Lord Government House will assassinate a nameless person as he wishes , yet also cannot kill officials of the court as he wishes.
Adviser: Although saying so is quite a panic, the right of allocation of court personnel does not belong to your Majesty, but belongs to the Governance House. So first liaise with them...
King: I want to abolish Governance House.
Adviser: Your Majesty!
King: Anyway, the current Governance House, isn't it in the hands of Lord Government House?
Ki Cheol: Power over Goryeo's human resource is still within my hands. So, have prepared a position for your lordship. From now on, your lordship is Pyongjang's conductor of government affairs. That is, a position in charge of Goryeo's administrative supervision of internal affairs. Is a position that you don't need to obey orders from Goryeo's king, but obey orders direct from the Yuan king. (sees Deok Kun's reaction) You don't like this job? Don't know what you are thinking...
Deok Kun: I don't think anything. This is the cheat code to my survival till now. Not think.
KC: Tomorrow when you attend court, you have to say something at least.
Deok: You write it for me. I will recite it accordingly will do.
KC: The words that you want to say, how can you have me write it for you?
Deok: The current King, that is, my nephew... It is because you don't like him, that's why you called me here, right?
KC: That's right.
Deok: Do you want me to be king?
KC: I have this intention.
Deok: So it is.
KC: What kind of king do you wish to be?
Deok: A king who can sit in his seat a long time.
Adviser: Tomorrow at the book banquet, you can do all that you wanted to do. As long as do it in front of Ki Cheol will do. The royal guards will guard Chungon Pianzhong (palace where the king rests and enjoys feasts) ; the imperial soldiers will guard the royal palace. No matter how capable he is, Ki Cheol will also not be able to do anything, your Majesty.
Lady Choi: Your Majesty, it is Court Lady Choi. Passing the princess's words.
King: Previously, she stayed at Kangan hall, must have been very inconvenient. Now, moved to Gunsong hall, she's going to say it's more comfortable than before, right?
Lady Choi: The princess asks if you will be able to go over to Gunsong hall tonight.
King: Tonight?
Lady Choi: Said setting up a wine banquet to wait for your arrival.
Servant: Your Majesty...
Lady Choi: All eunuchs and lady guards, step away from the chamber by 12 paces. Don't hear, don't think, need to be alert to outside persons.
King: Isn't this a wine feast?
Princess: Lord Deok Kun is in Ki Cheol's residence.
King: I heard of it. Royal guard Choi Young already reported it to me.
Princess: I heard Ki Cheol summoned him to his residence to threaten the royal seat.
King: So?
Princess: Your Majesty, you ascended the throne not too long ago. Even if Ki Cheol wants to elect a new king, need a birthright. That is, thinking of a birthright reported by the Yuan king. I have family there and want to ask them for their help. Before Ki Cheol sends people to Yuan, we can talk to the Yuan King first. Please... please let me help you.
King: I ordered this at the last minute. I instructed them to prepare a color suitable for you. Are you satisfied?
Princess: Your Majesty...
King: And this is... Do you still remember?
(flashback)
You are Lord Kangan?
Are you a woman of Goryeo?
King: That day you knew who I was, right?
Princess: I knew.
King: But you didn't tell me. Who you were, exactly.
(flashback)
May I ask you, you are which noble's daughter? Nevermind. Regardless of which noble, it doesn't matter. I am King Chungsook's second prince, have to inherit the throne in future. As the prince of a small and weak nation, have been a hostage here for 10 years. A person like me requests of you, will you marry me?
Princess: At that time, I couldn't tell you.
King: At that time, why didn't you tell me who you were? After that, I have thought of the reason. Is it to toy with me?
Princess: No.
King: What exactly did you wish to hear from me? Not saying anything, always staying around me.
(flashback)
From now on, she is my...
Whom are you referring to, your Highness?
King: I am now a king. But I have nothing. Power, talented people. This type of me, only have 1 thing. That is my principles. Fight against Yuan dynasty to protect my own country. Fight against the rich and powerful to protect my citizens.
Princess: To ask for help from Yuan, is breaking your Majesty's principles.
King: I have already broken my principle. I once vowed I would never love a Yuan woman. But I have broken this. No matter how hard I try, also cannot resist you. Because I have already fallen in love with you, unable to forget you. That's why I treated you all the more coldly. This is the weak person that I am. I don't wish to break my principles again. Are you willing to help me by my side?
(zine ed: ^__^ The princess's expression is very cute and lovable. She can be so headstrong and yet so speechless and soft.)
Man: These are spears and swords, sent over by the iron smelting room.
Royal guard: Seems we didn't order any new weapons.
Man: I'm just sending them over here as I was ordered to.
Royal guard: Hey! Who's responsible for matters of the iron smelting room?
Man: And this. Please gift it to the royal guard captain.
Royal guard: The captain?
Man: Just tell him, this is what he asked for previously. He'll know then.
Royal guard: Oh, Deok Man. Give this to the captain.
Deok Man: Why should I send it over?
Royal guard: Because I'm busy.
Deok Man: Hey, you rascal... Really.
(The day of the book Banquet. The party that discusses classics/scriptures before the king during Goryeo era. Book Banquet.)
Yik Che: Yik Che and scholars have come on your Majesty's call.
King: The journey coming here wasn't easy. I'm very grateful you all can come. Raise your heads. I wish to remember your faces.
Eun Soo: (reciting acupuncture points) Head-dimensional points...Here is?
Doc Jang: It's Dongjaliu. Didn't you say your memory is very good?
(Dongjaliu is an acupuncture point on the side of the eye (?) Click on this for info in website)
ES: That was a long time ago. Now that I'm older, and suffered too many shocks, my head also don't obey me.
Doc: You know them?
ES: He's called Lord Deok Kun, I think. Said he's the king's uncle. Not a very important person, right?
Doc: How much of your memory can be trusted?
ES: The extent of his appearance is in textbooks... but not a personage who can appear in exams. Shouldn't need to be too worried, right?
King: Today, in the presence of loyal subjects and scholars, I wish to handle a few country matters. Hope you all can judge the right and wrong and guide. 3rd rank ambassador Kiwan. From today onwards, dismissed. 3rd rank Chawun, same dismissed.
Kiwan: Your Majesty, what exactly did I do wrong?
King: Your job is cashier responsible for the King's order, the palace security and conduct of government affairs.
Kiwan: That's right.
King: Since my ascension, you attended court for only 2 days. Neglected your duty, abandoned your work.
Chawun: Your Majesty!
King: You are the supervising body.
Chawun: Yes.
King: In the past year, what exactly did you supervise?
Chawun: What?
King: Nothing in the records, regardless of how it's searched.
Chawun: That... That...
King: Here contains the subjects who can only be dismissed and the reasons. Distribute these one by one. I will personally appoint those positions that are vacant because of this.
KC: Your Majesty.
King: Please speak.
KC: There is a specialized department for the matter of the subjects. If your Majesty would like to dismiss or recruit, first...
King: Ah, you mean the Governance House?
KC: Yes.
King: Has been removed. This morning. So from now on, I will do the matter of the subjects. Yi Che, Yi Cheheon. Appointed as first rank, left political deputy.
Yi Che: I receive the order.
Deok Kun: In name, we are uncle and nephew. This is the first time I am meeting you.
King: I heard you were coming.
Deok: I heard you became a new king, want to do new things, need help, so I hurried over here like this.
King: If that's sincere, then it is worth feeling grateful for. I know that empty position is uncle's place, isn't that so?
Deok: So saying, your Majesty wants to remove Governance House, right? That was set up by my late father, do you know?
King: I know.
Deok: Ah, you learned by following.
Royal guard: His Majesty is alone in there.
Choi: Alone?
RG: Said no one is allowed to come near.
King: I have something I want to ask.
Choi: Yes.
King: The captain promised to be my people, this matter, the main reason is? Should be in order to honor the promise you made to doc god, right? The promise to send her back. In order to honor that promise, need to fight with Lord government House. Is it because you wanted that strength that you chose me?
Choi: Is the sequence important?
King: Because I am always feeling the temptation... If I gave doc god to Lord government house, will all this be solved? But if so, you, Choi Young, will then leave me, right? A king who don't even honor a promise, you won't continue to serve, right?
Doc Jang: Every night also has nightmares.
Choi: It's a nightmare?
Doc: Didn't she endure a succession of bad things? From what she said, it's what she had never seen in a whole lifetime in heaven. Seems a big blow.
Choi: I didn't know.
Doc: Doc god is very good at lying, using her smiling face.
Deok: Here. So good.
Woman: I put it here.
Deok: What is this? Ah, now's a headache. With such a pretty face, you actually used such a killer move! Let me see... then...
Soo Inn: This matter, when do we have to do till? (goes to Deok Kun) Please play slowly. I have to go out for a while.
Deok: Then I should put here...
Soo Inn: Did you specially come to see me?
Choi: Thought to say "Hi".
Soo Inn: We have already met so many times, such courtesy.
Choi: Also wish to warn you.
Soo Inn: What warning?
Choi: Don't ever appear in front of doc god again. That person, is afraid of you.
Soo Inn: What if I don't say "hi" to you and look for her?
Choi: Your right hand. Will never come back again. Time has dragged on more or less enough. Time to say goodbye.
Deok: Hey, are you guys thieves? If you're after money.. you've found the wrong person.
Choi: You have suffered.
Deok: Royal guard.
Choi: Indeed. I am Choi Young.
Deok: As royal guard, you actually treat me who a royal clansman, this way? Don't tell me this is the king's order? Even if it's the king, such an unlawful matter...
Choi: I was only thinking of rescuing your lordship. Passing by, happened to see your lordship being gang-robbed. Saving you at the same time, can I ask a favor from you? Doc god's notebook is in your hands, right?
Deok: Doc god's notebook? In order to get that thing, you do such a thing? You... Do you think I would keep such an important thing on me? That item, is already firmly locked in the drawer of Lord Government House...
Choi: Hope you will find it no matter what. And give it to doc god.
Deok: What are you saying? Unraveling the contents of that notebook, it will then be possible to find the way back to heaven. This is what doc god thinks. Try unraveling it together. With doc god.
Deok: Why?
Choi: If your lordship can unravel this secret, Lord government house will not anyhow treat you. Aren't you also aware of this? Lord government house Ki Cheol, if he thinks you have no value, he can bury you anytime.
Deok: So?
Choi: You will then have a trump card against Ki Cheol.
Deok: Then?
Choi: Doc god will find the way back to heaven.
Deok: What about you as royal guard? What will you get?
Choi: I can then be at ease. (stands) These thieves, no matter when and where will also be able to catch your lordship. If get caught again, I won't be able to save you then. So, please watch you words and action. By the way, doc god's knife strokes are pretty good. Personality is also hot like fire. So, I advise you, don't make any disrespectful moves.
Vice Captain: To get along well with the imperial soldiers seems not too easy. To be honest, them and us, is like cats and dogs. At loggerheads, but...
Voice: Thank you.
ES: Then treatment is almost at an end. Come, everyone take one. This is what I asked Doc Jang Bin. Soap that was made by combining very good herbs with green beans. Soap. If use it to wash face day and night, will feel the complete difference to your skin! Take it, take it. Till today, it's free. Free. Service, take it.
(zine ed: The Chinese subs translate "service" very interestingly and amusingly as "Sha Bi Si" which sounds like "service" but literally translates as Kill Must Die. ^_^)
Choi: Please take out your short sword. (ES finds and takes it out) If it's so time-consuming to take out the short sword... will the other party be good and wait for you?
ES: Those I wield my knife against, are all patients being good lying on the operating table. So...
Choi: This knife isn't as heavy. Put it at your ankle again and try it. (ES inserts it) Pull it out again. (ES pulls it out) Holding the knife that way, will be unable to apply force. Upside down.
ES: Come on.
Choi: Chop with it. (ES tries) Use a little strength. (ES tries) The advantage of a short sword is... can change direction at random, a stroke is fatal. Problem is focusing strength in one moment. Like this. Opposite direction. One, Two, Three... Chop at me with strength. Now stab over here.
(zine ed: I love it when he spins with her. Very tall. Looks very cool as he steps to swing round. ^_^)
(zine ed: I love this scene where he holds her hand so gently while his face turns so closely against hers. He wouldn't let go, if she hadn't pushed him away thinking it's part of the lesson. ^__^)
Choi: (releases her) Spread your legs, use strength in your stomach. Once more. (ES tries) Ah, too difficult to teach. Please watch well. Like this in 1 breath.
(zine ed: This move is same as City Hunter's, right?)
ES: (imitates his words before laughing away) This place is also good. Air is good and quiet.
Choi: Even so, you still want to go back, right? You're obviously having a hard time enduring it.
(zine ed: This point, I can fully understand. No matter how beautiful the place, it is not home and the heart and mind yearn for where it must return to. It's really admirable that she can stay so long there without going nuts.).
Royal guard: I win!
Chusong: You guys don't you know whose military camp this is? How dare you trespass here.
Soldier: Which one? Is he here?
Royal guard: You stinking kid...What are you guys doing? Put down your weapons!
Man: And him.
Soldier: (enters Choi Young's room) Search.
Soldier: Here!
Deok Kun: Is doc god in there? (sees ES) Still remember me?
ES: If you are unwell, I will find Doc Jang for you. Togi...
Deok: This... I stole it. So I can't give it to you. But you can copy it down. Today, I'm here not on anyone's orders, but by my own will. So please cool your anger.
ES: To let me see, is it?
Deok: Yes.
ES: What's the condition?
Deok: Condition... Hope you will allow me to stay by your side. Only that.
ES: You said this is an item from a thousand years ago.
Deok: It's said this is Hwa Ta's relic.
ES: Liar. This paper is not that old. See, the highlighter's trace is still very clear. At most a hundred years.
(zine ed: I doubt it's even 100 years. I think it's even younger than that since highlighter ink fades very fast.)
Deok: What's written inside?
ES: Numbers and English.
Choi: What are you doing? (enters court) Royal guard Choi Young, is here on imperial order.
King: Please continue.
Yik Che: Recognize this box?
Choi: No, I don't.
Yik Cheheon: This is a 500 silver taels note.
(zine ed: Taels is ancient Chinese currency)
King: The first assignment I gave them after their appointment. That is, investigating you, the captain's, bribery case.
Yik Cheheon: Royal guard Choi Young, once accepted bribe from the weapons merchants. They gave the bribe, they took the bribe. And, in the captain's room, was searched this silver note. Give you chance to explain.
Choi: You mean, I took a 500 taels bribe? Not five hundred thousand taels, but a mere 500 taels?
Yi Cheheon: For now, indeed it is just this.
Yik Che: Your Majesty once awarded the royal guard team, the special privilege that apart from his Majesty, cannot take orders from others, cannot anyhow disband, cannot interfere in governance using the military. Special privileges and special allowances, easily corrupt.
King: I say, Yik Che.
(zine ed: The king having a headache is very cute. ^_^)
King: I have said before...
Yik Che: When your Majesty appointed me for this position, you said before...Must definitely not bow to any power. Must fair and square handle impartially.
Choi: Since you are going to stick a groundless crime on me, why not stick the crime of high treason? What the heck is 500 taels?
KC: In order to earn this mere 500 taels, you let your subordinates use this grade of poor quality weapons.
Yi Cheheon: Captain Choi Young, you said you have never seen this piece of silver taels note. Then can we assume that this note was accepted by your subordinates who hid what they did from you?
(end of translation)
(Update 26 Sept Wed) Although this time the English subbed version by the Faith team is pretty good, I think the Chinese subbed version is still more accurate.
For example, Choi Young was injured in his right thigh by Ki Cheol, but they English-subbed it as "left thigh". This version is on Kimchi1st, but I also found it on Youtube which I watched on my phone in bed last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9vdiXmmSlo
The Chinese subs matches the Korean words/pronunciation. Chinese equivalent words are also matching the Korean words, compared to English which doesn't have equivalents for certain words.
http://www.mapleto.com/node/59710/%E4%BF%A1%E7%BE%A9%28%E7%A5%9E%E9%86%AB%29-%E7%AC%AC13%E9%9B%86-the-faith-ep-13/
Starting where Ep 12 left off... Translating from the Chinese subs in the above link:
Eun Soo: Lord Deok Song government House gave you this, right?
Deok Kun: That's right.
ES: Then you and that Lord government House are in the same gang?
Deok: Yes... With that person.
ES: What did he say when he gave you this? He wouldn't gift it to me for nothing, right?
Deok: Naturally cannot gift it to you for nothing. "As long as let her see you holding this, she'll surely follow you".
ES: How could there be such a person as you who makes fun of people!
Deok: This, what is it? Why is this so important?
(zine ed: Deok Kun says "Zhung young", which means important. The Chinese word is "zhong yao". The 2 languages sound very close).
ES: There is no need for you to know. Go tell that Ki Cheol. I don't need whatever notebook. Want to play, ask him to play by himself! And you, get out. This is not a place where anyone can enter.
Deok: I heard you are a person from heaven. And saved people's lives, and predict the future.
ES: I asked you to get lost.
Deok: Seeing how much that Ki Cheol believes, it seems to be the truth. (she walks away) I am holding this. You're not coming with me?
(flashback)
ES: How about here? In our world, friends will go to pubs for some wine after a busy day. But there are no pubs in the palace, so we'll come here. Everyday at this time, we'll meet once.
ES: You guys use willow twigs to brush teeth, right? Add a little of this before brushing. This is toothpaste that I made. Morning and night, at least twice. With healthy teeth, will be able to fight better!
Deok Man: Oh, captain!
Choi Young: What are you guys doing? Vice captain, you...
Royal guard: It's break time, so...
CY: Break time then go take a big nap and replenish your strength, what are you all doing?
(zine ed: Choi Young says "Pu Chong" which means "replenish". Chinese subs pronunciation is "Bu chong". Again very close sounds).
CY: Didn't I tell you to go to Gunsong hall?
ES: I heard captain's room is over there. Let's go.
(zine ed: I like that she doesn't scold him for disciplining his soldiers. She knows when to poke her hand in and when not to. Her reaction to his refusal to show his hand is very strangely cute. ^_^ With his face so stiff and stern. ^_^)
ES: Hmm... So this is the captain's room. Oh... it's so small. Ah, have a seat first.
(zine ed: Small? I think it's big already. I had initially thought this was a room shared with the other guys coz they used to be here when he first appeared and he asked where his bed was.)
Choi Young: I want to go to see his Majesty. So I have to change, please excuse yourself...
ES: Come closer here to me. Too far, I can't see clearly. Or I go and obtain an order from the princess. "Doc god as Choi Young's attending physician, can any time any place capture him for diagnosis of his condition". Obtain this type of an order? (CY submits) How's the hand? The one that was injured by cold.
CY: It's fine now.
ES: This is... Undo your sleeve. Looks like needs a few stitches. It'll hurt without anesthetic. Bear with it. (uncorks a bottle) This is Mr Jang Bin brand antiseptic. Any other place?
(zine ed: Arghh... she's pressing his wound kinda hard!)
CY: No.
ES: That time, left shoulder and right thigh? (Shouldn't it be his right shoulder that was injured by KC's hand at court?)
CY: Only grazed the corner of my clothes.
(zine ed: ^_^ So, she wants to see his shoulder and thigh eh? ^_^ Imagine how she's going to see his thigh?! He would have to take off his pants! Or at least pull it up till there. And imagine her looking at his shoulder and being impressed with it... So, she really wants to see his thigh? ^__^ Actually, under his right forearm was also sliced by Ki Cheol's sword. )
ES: This will hurt.
CY: If you're done, then start. (exhales) You can return to the medical temple now. Although during this time, you also didn't quietly remain at Gunsong hall.
ES: Then what about those scary assassins?
CY: They won't come again.
ES: Wahh...you really can bear it. In our world, really cannot bear the pain. So need many things. Anesthetic, painkiller, or drink alcohol; there are even people who play games. All done. This is the last piece of plaster brought from heaven's world. Now it's going to finish, including those I brought with me. Try not to get it wet. I will check it once every 2 days.
CY: I have posted men near Heaven's hole. Ordered them to observe it day and night. Once discover any trace of a sign, will inform as soon as possible. Can also find a place for you to stay and wait nearby. But honestly, I'm rather worried about there. (Eun Soo nods and gets up walking) What's up with your walking?
ES: Why?
CY: Have you injured a leg?
ES: This knife. Too heavy. Why?
ES: Just looking. No matter how I look at it, I feel returning to my world needs a long time. So temporarily need to live here. What sort of world is this place? What is it like? So, this is what it's like. Seems like till now, I've never looked carefully. If look carefully and remember, afraid I will really not be able to leave this world.
(zine ed: At this point, do you hear a sound like her stomach made a hungry noise? Or could it an insect in the background?)
ES: What are your names? I'm Yoo Eun Soo.
Guard: I am Moon.
Guard: I am Lotus Samurai.
ES: What cosmetics do you both use? I should be able to help you guys with something. Those I brought are fast finishing. How do the elder sisters here do skincare?
King: You're back safely. I don't know how long I've waited.
Choi: Because I changed my clothes, so came late.
King: No need for this. No need to bother about trifles when you come to see me. (inside) Lord government House shouldn't be after the scholars again.
Choi: Rumor was spread that I was the only person who knew where the scholars were hiding. But when the assassins attacked me, none wanted to ask me. Only focused on killing me.
King: From the midst of those focused on killing you, you return alive.
Lady Choi: Just in case, still need to be careful and alert.
Choi: The matter of taking the scholars safely to the book banquet, I will do it. But the matter of letting them be safe, needs your Majesty to do it.
King: Let's try that. Those who defect to me, safely protect them.
Lady Choi: But...somehow, still feel worried.
King: Worried about what?
Lady Choi: If Lord government House has suddenly given up on assassinating the scholars, doesn't it imply he has some other plan?
King: Some other plan... What can it be?
Choi: Political intrigue, can't your Majesty do it? I only handle the defense against persons who attack.
Lady Choi: The words of His Majesty's captain bodyguard, are more and more nasty.
Choi: I'm sorry.
Ki Cheol: How did you feel after seeing?
Deok: Very interesting.
Ki Cheol: Isn't it. Doc god always tends to surprise those around her.
Deok: So? The reason you had to call me who was living in seclusion on the mountain, was to see that woman? That's all?
KC: Not just to see. Want to ask you to help me obtain her.
Deok: The king will not accede her to you? (zine ed: "accede to" = to surrender to/give in to)
KC: The young king, is still not quite clear about her true value.
Deok: Then.
KC: There is a royal guard by his Majesty's side. He is protecting doc god.
Deok: Royal guard?
KC: A senior official who now has his Majesty in his grasp. His Majesty caters to his mood.
Deok: Then just tidy up that royal guard, wouldn't that do?
KC: It will be that way very soon. Problem is... That woman's heart.
Deok: (laughs) I'm sorry, sorry. Because it was too funny, couldn't control myself.
KC: Doc god, I repeat once more, is not a woman of earth world. All that she knows, unless she's wants to, will definitely not reveal. I have tested it, so I know very well.
Deok: So then. You would have me obtain her heart.
KC: Yes.
Deok: If I obtain it?
KC: Give you what you want. Whatever that is.
Deok: Then what is it you wish to have, that needs doc god?
KC: Only doc god will do. What I want to have, is only doc god.
Vice captain: The scholars will be safe once they enter the palace. The first type is visible. Second type is cannot be seen. Arrangement completed.
Choi: From 9~11 a.m. tomorrow, they will arrive one by one. The place that your group needs to guard is from main door to the front of the side hall main door.
Royal guard: Understood.
Choi: The roof, need to set up archers?
Royal guard: Prepared every 5 steps, 1.
Choi: Below, is every 7 steps, 1. The rest all set them up on the roof.
Royal guard: Will the assassins group be coming?
Choi: How would I know? When the enemy is coming, will they first kindly inform then come?
(zine ed: Choi says "Jing Cha" which means "cordially" or "kindly". It matches the Chinese words "Qing Qie" which sound very close to the Korean. If I were the royal guard being whacked so embarrassingly like that by Choi Young, I would take it to heart and probably get my revenge on him by joining up with the bad guys. It hurts the ego.)
Royal guard: I was wrong.
Chusong: We are all set over here. For every person who comes, will have a 2-person group protecting. But...
Choi: But what?
Chusong: Those that can be sent to the outside area are too few.
Choi: I know.
Chusong: Then not enough manpower, what to do?
Choi: The outside area, Iet me handle it. The internal courtyard, if a rat enters...
Chusong: Not even an ant will be let in.
Choi: I'm leaving.
Vice-cap: Ant.
Elder Man: Kid, next time among the ranking of the tributes, our carriages...
Woman: Five. Arrange for them to be in.
Choi: Two.
Man: Rascal, you're too disrespectful to your teacher uncle.
(zine ed: The man says "Sa Shu" which is "Shi Shu" in Chinese. It means a teacher-disciple relationship in the same martial arts group. Since the man knew Choi Young's father, he is like an uncle to Choi Young.)
Choi: Two carriages.
Woman: Hey, rascal. So many scholars, including their family members, being hidden and guaranteed free food, lodging and clothing.
Man: How much does that cost? Should we count? Good. Let's count cent by cent. Let's see...that is...
Choi: Two carriages.
Woman: Looks like cannot. Take out all those stinking scholars and throw them away.
Choi: To think of throwing them out. Might as well invite them one by one and throw into the palace then.
Man: This rascal. Is a business person who is even better than us at calculating.
Choi: Whether it's selling medicine or jewels, you guys watch over the mobilization of your people.
Woman: Then our five carriages?
Choi: Two.
Woman: Fine. Three carriages!
Dae Man: Captain!
Choi: What?
Dae: Doc god! Doc god... she...
Choi: What's up with doc god?
Dae: She went to market. Over there, in the medicine alley, doc god personally...
Choi: The lady guards?
Dae: That... together.
Eun Soo: The scent is not bad. Is this Matcha (green tea)?
Woman: That's correct, it's Matcha.
ES: I have to buy this. It's full of Catechins and Vitamin C that have good beautifying effects.
Woman: What? (ES is shocked) What did you just say? I didn't understand.
ES: Ah, I was mumbling a little to myself, sorry. How much is this? I wish to buy one.
Man: This, this, (sees ladies drawing sword) what? This, I give to you free. Moreover, this is a little second grade, this...
Woman: Oh, I'll go get for you a few top grade.
Man: But these ladies, why is it I give you guys things, yet like this? Even take out swords, what do you want to do, what do you want to do?
Choi: What are you doing?
ES: They want to...
Woman: Choi Young... Really too beautiful!
Man: One look and I was also taken in, indeed a person from heaven.
ES: Meaning the manufacture of fragrant soap and cosmetics. Starting, give free to everyone. But once used it, will definitely not give up. Starting from the second time, have them buy.
Choi: You want to earn money?
ES: Yes! Especially target Goryeo's rich wives! That'll make me rich! Then I will become a rich, rich person in Goryeo! And I have already thought of the sales method. In that world of ours, there is a selling method called pyramid style. What is this... It is...
Man: Sis, did you see that?
Woman: I saw it.
Man: Saw that rascal was smiling, right?
Woman: He was smiling.
Man: Not those unfeeling smile.
Woman: Smiling very comfortably.
Man: Right?
Woman: Mm.
Deok Kun: Bumped into you here.
ES: Yes, we meet again.
Choi: Aren't you Chawan-sama? Who might this be?
[zine ed: There is no English equivalent for the Chinese term "大人" (direct translation would be "big person") in addressing Chawan, so I have used the Japanese equivalent of "sama". It's a term of address for someone who is above the speaker in rank/station].
Chawan: How dare you. Still not quickly show your respect?
Deok: It's you then? Said to be the royal guard who protects doc god.
Choi: Someone you know?
ES: Said he's the king's uncle.
Chawan: This is Lord Deok Kun-sama.
Deok: Out sightseeing? I also haven't been to GaeKyung in a long while, so came to stroll. Will you be strolling a while more? How about I take you for a stroll?
ES: Please go ahead yourself. We were just getting back. Let's go.
Choi: Have you met before?
ES: A few days ago, met before in the palace.
Choi: Why didn't you tell me?
ES: That's because...
Choi: Dae Man.
Dae Man: Yes, Captain!
Choi: Go pass this to Court Lady Choi. Lord Deok Kun is in the residence of Lord Government House.
Dae: Lord Deok Kun, Lord Government House.
Choi: Immediately.
Dae: Yes.
Choi: Henceforth, all of doc god's whereabouts, all that she says, need to exactly report to me and Court Lady Choi.
ES: I say, hang on.
Choi: What? Didn't we agree to say everything? Didn't we say to develop this type of relationship?
ES: No, I just...
Choi: Just what?
ES: The king's uncle said...
Choi: What did he say? (ES hesitates) Lady, this is a very important matter, the king has to know.
(zine ed: Choi Young says "Im Ja" which is subbed as "Gu Niang" in Chinese, meaning "Lady" or "Miss". I'm aware that in Ep14, the Eng subs explain that in Korean, it means "you, but respectful and slightly intimate". Update: 28 Sept Fri = I have confirmed with a Korean contact that "Im Ja" means "Lady" or "Ma'am" in that era. Click on this sentence to take you there.)
ES: My notebook that's in Ki Cheol's hands, he brought it. He even bragged about it and made me angry. So I said "no need". I said "I don't need those things. Hurry and get away.". I raised my temper at him.
Choi: Why?
ES: If I told you, you will again because you feel responsible, worry that I will not be able to have it, you will then say, "I should get it back for you". That's why I didn't say. Why?
[zine ed: Actually, when Min Ho stands behind a woman, he's an intimidating presence, as bad as a bad guy. Maybe because here he's wearing black (looks black although it's actually dark blue). But also in City Hunter when he is lying down in Nana's sofa and looking at her.]
Lady Choi: (to Dae Man) I know. You may return. (goes to princess' room) Your highness, it's Court Lady Choi. Said doc god wants to manufacture some kind of magical thing. Said it's something that can make women become beautiful. Need to buy the needed ingredients today, so went to the marketplace. (writes) Lord Deok Kun is in Lord Government House Ki Cheol's residence.
Princess: Who is Lord Deok Kun?
Lady Choi: At the moment, he is the only one of the king's clansman.
Princess: Then why did Ki Cheol call him out?
Lady Choi: I'm afraid it is to threaten the King's seat.
Princess: Till when will the spy still be kept?
Lady Choi: At the moment, don't know if there are others besides her. Moreover, still seem to have useful value, so have been keeping.
Princess: Tonight, I want to set up a wine banquet.
Lady Choi: What?
Princess: Do I have to say it twice? Tonight, I want to set up a wine banquet for his Majesty. So go prepare.
Lady Choi: Yes.
Man: Lord Deok Kun is King's Chunsun's bastard son whom he had with a palace woman.
Woman: From young, after being driven out of the palace with his mother, grew up moving from temple to temple.
Man: Precisely because he lived a very secluded life, he was able to live till now.
Woman: Yes, at the moment, besides the king, is the only royal clansman.
Man: That person Lord Deok Kun, I met him once before.
Choi: Did you personally see him?
Man: Yes. Seems to be when I went to Jinpu to do some trading. About 3 years ago. To send to the House of Courtesans (prostitutes) some items.
Woman: House of Courtesans?
Man: Yes. It was said there arrived a type of miracle medicine, that's why I went... Discovered a person wearing monk's robes being surrounded by the courtesans.
Woman: What, wearing monk's robes? And courtesans? And then?
Man: At that time, I saw him holding chess. (zine ed: It is not clear if he was playing it. Baduk is "Go", a game of siege chess)
Woman: Wearing monk's robe, courtesans and also chess?
King: They are people who came for my sake. I would like to bestow upon them suitable official posts. Even if Lord Government House will assassinate a nameless person as he wishes , yet also cannot kill officials of the court as he wishes.
Adviser: Although saying so is quite a panic, the right of allocation of court personnel does not belong to your Majesty, but belongs to the Governance House. So first liaise with them...
King: I want to abolish Governance House.
Adviser: Your Majesty!
King: Anyway, the current Governance House, isn't it in the hands of Lord Government House?
Ki Cheol: Power over Goryeo's human resource is still within my hands. So, have prepared a position for your lordship. From now on, your lordship is Pyongjang's conductor of government affairs. That is, a position in charge of Goryeo's administrative supervision of internal affairs. Is a position that you don't need to obey orders from Goryeo's king, but obey orders direct from the Yuan king. (sees Deok Kun's reaction) You don't like this job? Don't know what you are thinking...
Deok Kun: I don't think anything. This is the cheat code to my survival till now. Not think.
KC: Tomorrow when you attend court, you have to say something at least.
Deok: You write it for me. I will recite it accordingly will do.
KC: The words that you want to say, how can you have me write it for you?
Deok: The current King, that is, my nephew... It is because you don't like him, that's why you called me here, right?
KC: That's right.
Deok: Do you want me to be king?
KC: I have this intention.
Deok: So it is.
KC: What kind of king do you wish to be?
Deok: A king who can sit in his seat a long time.
Adviser: Tomorrow at the book banquet, you can do all that you wanted to do. As long as do it in front of Ki Cheol will do. The royal guards will guard Chungon Pianzhong (palace where the king rests and enjoys feasts) ; the imperial soldiers will guard the royal palace. No matter how capable he is, Ki Cheol will also not be able to do anything, your Majesty.
Lady Choi: Your Majesty, it is Court Lady Choi. Passing the princess's words.
King: Previously, she stayed at Kangan hall, must have been very inconvenient. Now, moved to Gunsong hall, she's going to say it's more comfortable than before, right?
Lady Choi: The princess asks if you will be able to go over to Gunsong hall tonight.
King: Tonight?
Lady Choi: Said setting up a wine banquet to wait for your arrival.
Servant: Your Majesty...
Lady Choi: All eunuchs and lady guards, step away from the chamber by 12 paces. Don't hear, don't think, need to be alert to outside persons.
King: Isn't this a wine feast?
Princess: Lord Deok Kun is in Ki Cheol's residence.
King: I heard of it. Royal guard Choi Young already reported it to me.
Princess: I heard Ki Cheol summoned him to his residence to threaten the royal seat.
King: So?
Princess: Your Majesty, you ascended the throne not too long ago. Even if Ki Cheol wants to elect a new king, need a birthright. That is, thinking of a birthright reported by the Yuan king. I have family there and want to ask them for their help. Before Ki Cheol sends people to Yuan, we can talk to the Yuan King first. Please... please let me help you.
King: I ordered this at the last minute. I instructed them to prepare a color suitable for you. Are you satisfied?
Princess: Your Majesty...
King: And this is... Do you still remember?
(flashback)
You are Lord Kangan?
Are you a woman of Goryeo?
King: That day you knew who I was, right?
Princess: I knew.
King: But you didn't tell me. Who you were, exactly.
(flashback)
May I ask you, you are which noble's daughter? Nevermind. Regardless of which noble, it doesn't matter. I am King Chungsook's second prince, have to inherit the throne in future. As the prince of a small and weak nation, have been a hostage here for 10 years. A person like me requests of you, will you marry me?
Princess: At that time, I couldn't tell you.
King: At that time, why didn't you tell me who you were? After that, I have thought of the reason. Is it to toy with me?
Princess: No.
King: What exactly did you wish to hear from me? Not saying anything, always staying around me.
(flashback)
From now on, she is my...
Whom are you referring to, your Highness?
King: I am now a king. But I have nothing. Power, talented people. This type of me, only have 1 thing. That is my principles. Fight against Yuan dynasty to protect my own country. Fight against the rich and powerful to protect my citizens.
Princess: To ask for help from Yuan, is breaking your Majesty's principles.
King: I have already broken my principle. I once vowed I would never love a Yuan woman. But I have broken this. No matter how hard I try, also cannot resist you. Because I have already fallen in love with you, unable to forget you. That's why I treated you all the more coldly. This is the weak person that I am. I don't wish to break my principles again. Are you willing to help me by my side?
(zine ed: ^__^ The princess's expression is very cute and lovable. She can be so headstrong and yet so speechless and soft.)
Man: These are spears and swords, sent over by the iron smelting room.
Royal guard: Seems we didn't order any new weapons.
Man: I'm just sending them over here as I was ordered to.
Royal guard: Hey! Who's responsible for matters of the iron smelting room?
Man: And this. Please gift it to the royal guard captain.
Royal guard: The captain?
Man: Just tell him, this is what he asked for previously. He'll know then.
Royal guard: Oh, Deok Man. Give this to the captain.
Deok Man: Why should I send it over?
Royal guard: Because I'm busy.
Deok Man: Hey, you rascal... Really.
(The day of the book Banquet. The party that discusses classics/scriptures before the king during Goryeo era. Book Banquet.)
Yik Che: Yik Che and scholars have come on your Majesty's call.
King: The journey coming here wasn't easy. I'm very grateful you all can come. Raise your heads. I wish to remember your faces.
Eun Soo: (reciting acupuncture points) Head-dimensional points...Here is?
Doc Jang: It's Dongjaliu. Didn't you say your memory is very good?
(Dongjaliu is an acupuncture point on the side of the eye (?) Click on this for info in website)
ES: That was a long time ago. Now that I'm older, and suffered too many shocks, my head also don't obey me.
Doc: You know them?
ES: He's called Lord Deok Kun, I think. Said he's the king's uncle. Not a very important person, right?
Doc: How much of your memory can be trusted?
ES: The extent of his appearance is in textbooks... but not a personage who can appear in exams. Shouldn't need to be too worried, right?
King: Today, in the presence of loyal subjects and scholars, I wish to handle a few country matters. Hope you all can judge the right and wrong and guide. 3rd rank ambassador Kiwan. From today onwards, dismissed. 3rd rank Chawun, same dismissed.
Kiwan: Your Majesty, what exactly did I do wrong?
King: Your job is cashier responsible for the King's order, the palace security and conduct of government affairs.
Kiwan: That's right.
King: Since my ascension, you attended court for only 2 days. Neglected your duty, abandoned your work.
Chawun: Your Majesty!
King: You are the supervising body.
Chawun: Yes.
King: In the past year, what exactly did you supervise?
Chawun: What?
King: Nothing in the records, regardless of how it's searched.
Chawun: That... That...
King: Here contains the subjects who can only be dismissed and the reasons. Distribute these one by one. I will personally appoint those positions that are vacant because of this.
KC: Your Majesty.
King: Please speak.
KC: There is a specialized department for the matter of the subjects. If your Majesty would like to dismiss or recruit, first...
King: Ah, you mean the Governance House?
KC: Yes.
King: Has been removed. This morning. So from now on, I will do the matter of the subjects. Yi Che, Yi Cheheon. Appointed as first rank, left political deputy.
Yi Che: I receive the order.
Deok Kun: In name, we are uncle and nephew. This is the first time I am meeting you.
King: I heard you were coming.
Deok: I heard you became a new king, want to do new things, need help, so I hurried over here like this.
King: If that's sincere, then it is worth feeling grateful for. I know that empty position is uncle's place, isn't that so?
Deok: So saying, your Majesty wants to remove Governance House, right? That was set up by my late father, do you know?
King: I know.
Deok: Ah, you learned by following.
Royal guard: His Majesty is alone in there.
Choi: Alone?
RG: Said no one is allowed to come near.
King: I have something I want to ask.
Choi: Yes.
King: The captain promised to be my people, this matter, the main reason is? Should be in order to honor the promise you made to doc god, right? The promise to send her back. In order to honor that promise, need to fight with Lord government House. Is it because you wanted that strength that you chose me?
Choi: Is the sequence important?
King: Because I am always feeling the temptation... If I gave doc god to Lord government house, will all this be solved? But if so, you, Choi Young, will then leave me, right? A king who don't even honor a promise, you won't continue to serve, right?
Doc Jang: Every night also has nightmares.
Choi: It's a nightmare?
Doc: Didn't she endure a succession of bad things? From what she said, it's what she had never seen in a whole lifetime in heaven. Seems a big blow.
Choi: I didn't know.
Doc: Doc god is very good at lying, using her smiling face.
Deok: Here. So good.
Woman: I put it here.
Deok: What is this? Ah, now's a headache. With such a pretty face, you actually used such a killer move! Let me see... then...
Soo Inn: This matter, when do we have to do till? (goes to Deok Kun) Please play slowly. I have to go out for a while.
Deok: Then I should put here...
Soo Inn: Did you specially come to see me?
Choi: Thought to say "Hi".
Soo Inn: We have already met so many times, such courtesy.
Choi: Also wish to warn you.
Soo Inn: What warning?
Choi: Don't ever appear in front of doc god again. That person, is afraid of you.
Soo Inn: What if I don't say "hi" to you and look for her?
Choi: Your right hand. Will never come back again. Time has dragged on more or less enough. Time to say goodbye.
Deok: Hey, are you guys thieves? If you're after money.. you've found the wrong person.
Choi: You have suffered.
Deok: Royal guard.
Choi: Indeed. I am Choi Young.
Deok: As royal guard, you actually treat me who a royal clansman, this way? Don't tell me this is the king's order? Even if it's the king, such an unlawful matter...
Choi: I was only thinking of rescuing your lordship. Passing by, happened to see your lordship being gang-robbed. Saving you at the same time, can I ask a favor from you? Doc god's notebook is in your hands, right?
Deok: Doc god's notebook? In order to get that thing, you do such a thing? You... Do you think I would keep such an important thing on me? That item, is already firmly locked in the drawer of Lord Government House...
Choi: Hope you will find it no matter what. And give it to doc god.
Deok: What are you saying? Unraveling the contents of that notebook, it will then be possible to find the way back to heaven. This is what doc god thinks. Try unraveling it together. With doc god.
Deok: Why?
Choi: If your lordship can unravel this secret, Lord government house will not anyhow treat you. Aren't you also aware of this? Lord government house Ki Cheol, if he thinks you have no value, he can bury you anytime.
Deok: So?
Choi: You will then have a trump card against Ki Cheol.
Deok: Then?
Choi: Doc god will find the way back to heaven.
Deok: What about you as royal guard? What will you get?
Choi: I can then be at ease. (stands) These thieves, no matter when and where will also be able to catch your lordship. If get caught again, I won't be able to save you then. So, please watch you words and action. By the way, doc god's knife strokes are pretty good. Personality is also hot like fire. So, I advise you, don't make any disrespectful moves.
Vice Captain: To get along well with the imperial soldiers seems not too easy. To be honest, them and us, is like cats and dogs. At loggerheads, but...
Voice: Thank you.
ES: Then treatment is almost at an end. Come, everyone take one. This is what I asked Doc Jang Bin. Soap that was made by combining very good herbs with green beans. Soap. If use it to wash face day and night, will feel the complete difference to your skin! Take it, take it. Till today, it's free. Free. Service, take it.
(zine ed: The Chinese subs translate "service" very interestingly and amusingly as "Sha Bi Si" which sounds like "service" but literally translates as Kill Must Die. ^_^)
Choi: Please take out your short sword. (ES finds and takes it out) If it's so time-consuming to take out the short sword... will the other party be good and wait for you?
ES: Those I wield my knife against, are all patients being good lying on the operating table. So...
Choi: This knife isn't as heavy. Put it at your ankle again and try it. (ES inserts it) Pull it out again. (ES pulls it out) Holding the knife that way, will be unable to apply force. Upside down.
ES: Come on.
Choi: Chop with it. (ES tries) Use a little strength. (ES tries) The advantage of a short sword is... can change direction at random, a stroke is fatal. Problem is focusing strength in one moment. Like this. Opposite direction. One, Two, Three... Chop at me with strength. Now stab over here.
(zine ed: I love it when he spins with her. Very tall. Looks very cool as he steps to swing round. ^_^)
(zine ed: I love this scene where he holds her hand so gently while his face turns so closely against hers. He wouldn't let go, if she hadn't pushed him away thinking it's part of the lesson. ^__^)
(zine ed: This move is same as City Hunter's, right?)
ES: (imitates his words before laughing away) This place is also good. Air is good and quiet.
Choi: Even so, you still want to go back, right? You're obviously having a hard time enduring it.
(zine ed: This point, I can fully understand. No matter how beautiful the place, it is not home and the heart and mind yearn for where it must return to. It's really admirable that she can stay so long there without going nuts.).
Royal guard: I win!
Chusong: You guys don't you know whose military camp this is? How dare you trespass here.
Soldier: Which one? Is he here?
Royal guard: You stinking kid...What are you guys doing? Put down your weapons!
Man: And him.
Soldier: (enters Choi Young's room) Search.
Soldier: Here!
Deok Kun: Is doc god in there? (sees ES) Still remember me?
ES: If you are unwell, I will find Doc Jang for you. Togi...
Deok: This... I stole it. So I can't give it to you. But you can copy it down. Today, I'm here not on anyone's orders, but by my own will. So please cool your anger.
ES: To let me see, is it?
Deok: Yes.
ES: What's the condition?
Deok: Condition... Hope you will allow me to stay by your side. Only that.
ES: You said this is an item from a thousand years ago.
Deok: It's said this is Hwa Ta's relic.
ES: Liar. This paper is not that old. See, the highlighter's trace is still very clear. At most a hundred years.
(zine ed: I doubt it's even 100 years. I think it's even younger than that since highlighter ink fades very fast.)
Deok: What's written inside?
ES: Numbers and English.
Choi: What are you doing? (enters court) Royal guard Choi Young, is here on imperial order.
King: Please continue.
Yik Che: Recognize this box?
Choi: No, I don't.
Yik Cheheon: This is a 500 silver taels note.
(zine ed: Taels is ancient Chinese currency)
King: The first assignment I gave them after their appointment. That is, investigating you, the captain's, bribery case.
Yik Cheheon: Royal guard Choi Young, once accepted bribe from the weapons merchants. They gave the bribe, they took the bribe. And, in the captain's room, was searched this silver note. Give you chance to explain.
Choi: You mean, I took a 500 taels bribe? Not five hundred thousand taels, but a mere 500 taels?
Yi Cheheon: For now, indeed it is just this.
Yik Che: Your Majesty once awarded the royal guard team, the special privilege that apart from his Majesty, cannot take orders from others, cannot anyhow disband, cannot interfere in governance using the military. Special privileges and special allowances, easily corrupt.
King: I say, Yik Che.
(zine ed: The king having a headache is very cute. ^_^)
King: I have said before...
Yik Che: When your Majesty appointed me for this position, you said before...Must definitely not bow to any power. Must fair and square handle impartially.
Choi: Since you are going to stick a groundless crime on me, why not stick the crime of high treason? What the heck is 500 taels?
KC: In order to earn this mere 500 taels, you let your subordinates use this grade of poor quality weapons.
Yi Cheheon: Captain Choi Young, you said you have never seen this piece of silver taels note. Then can we assume that this note was accepted by your subordinates who hid what they did from you?
