There is no time to lose. 22:44.509 --> 22:46.887 That is the feng shui master the King brought in. 22:46.970 --> 22:49.097 - Where? - The one who just passed by. 22:49.181 --> 22:51.016 He looks completely out of place here. 22:51.099 --> 22:52.851 Careful how you behave around here. 22:53.935 --> 22:56.188 You have entered here as a feng shui master. 22:56.271 --> 22:58.023 You need to mind your conduct. 22:58.982 --> 23:01.443 I don't know the first thing about feng shui. 23:09.284 --> 23:10.577 You insolent wench. 23:10.660 --> 23:12.829 How dare you raise your head and look upon me! 23:12.913 --> 23:15.582 Where are your manners? Have you no sense? 23:16.875 --> 23:17.709 Oh. 23:19.711 --> 23:21.213 My apologies, madam. 23:21.296 --> 23:23.173 I'm from the Office of Inspection. 23:23.673 --> 23:25.884 The King has asked that I have the new feng shui master 23:25.967 --> 23:27.469 brought here to see Prince Yeongan. 23:30.597 --> 23:31.973 Leave here at once. 23:32.057 --> 23:35.268 Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has ordered that no one is allowed in. 23:39.314 --> 23:41.441 You kept talking about manners, 23:41.525 --> 23:43.860 yet we walked all this way just for you to be scolded. 23:43.944 --> 23:44.778 Interesting. 23:44.861 --> 23:46.821 Look at his manner of walking. 23:47.781 --> 23:49.866 Well, have you looked around the palace? 23:49.950 --> 23:51.952 Might the room no longer have the pond spirit? 23:52.035 --> 23:54.788 And how would I know? It's not as if I can see through walls. 23:55.497 --> 23:58.041 - Then what exactly can you-- - Hey, why are you taking it out on me? 23:58.124 --> 23:59.960 You were the one being told off there. 24:00.043 --> 24:01.378 For goodness' sake. 24:01.962 --> 24:04.756 Should you not at least sense some kind of energy? Hey! 24:12.973 --> 24:15.976 His Majesty has sent over a feng shui master. 24:17.644 --> 24:19.604 Why would he send someone like that? 24:21.523 --> 24:24.109 What is His Majesty thinking, sending one of those here? 24:24.693 --> 24:26.945 I have heard that he is staying in the residence 24:27.028 --> 24:29.155 at the far end of the East Palace. 24:29.656 --> 24:30.532 Pardon? 24:31.366 --> 24:34.619 Is that not the place that has been plagued by unnatural deaths? 24:34.703 --> 24:36.037 Yes, Your Majesty. 24:36.121 --> 24:39.291 It was left vacant because so many died there suddenly in the night. 24:42.627 --> 24:44.379 A feng shui master… 24:44.462 --> 24:47.173 I wonder what kind of soul he has. 24:49.884 --> 24:51.344 Oh! 24:51.886 --> 24:53.054 What just happened? 24:58.018 --> 25:00.186 Have you given up your senses? 25:00.270 --> 25:02.606 There's a great deal of Yang energy in you. 25:02.689 --> 25:04.149 That's a rare temperament. 25:12.157 --> 25:14.659 His Majesty's judgment must have truly declined 25:15.160 --> 25:17.495 to entrust such a matter to someone like you. 25:17.996 --> 25:20.832 Your presence proves his distrust of me, 25:20.915 --> 25:25.837 and I am only here with you because the King threatened my life. 25:26.338 --> 25:27.339 That bastard. 25:27.422 --> 25:29.591 He thinks his power can imprison us. 25:30.592 --> 25:32.552 Are you speaking of His Majesty? 25:33.053 --> 25:34.054 That is treasonous! 25:34.137 --> 25:37.098 What are you talking about? I meant Chil-bok from my temple. 25:38.892 --> 25:41.144 Gosh, such is my cursed fate. 25:44.064 --> 25:47.734 How long do you intend to walk without doing anything to help? 25:48.318 --> 25:50.570 Did you come all this way just to take a walk? 25:52.489 --> 25:55.909 This will not do. Let's go to the pond where the spirit is said to appear. 25:55.992 --> 25:57.369 There's no need. 25:58.036 --> 26:00.664 I already went, and it already had gone elsewhere. 26:01.247 --> 26:04.459 Spirits wander around, unlike gwi-maes, who do not. 26:05.794 --> 26:06.753 Gwi-mae? 26:08.004 --> 26:09.047 What is that? 26:09.798 --> 26:12.342 This is so annoying. 26:13.885 --> 26:16.262 How many actually know about gwi-mae? 26:17.430 --> 26:19.641 Stop being so annoyed and explain it to me. 26:19.724 --> 26:21.226 I can learn from here on. 26:22.352 --> 26:24.270 The thing about gwi-maes 26:24.854 --> 26:27.565 is that they don't come to us like a spirit would. 26:27.649 --> 26:30.235 Spirits come from a dead human, but a gwi-mae is formed 26:30.318 --> 26:33.822 when a large mass of nature's sinister energy is in one area. 26:34.614 --> 26:36.491 There was one on the ceiling of my room earlier. 26:38.243 --> 26:39.703 And one over there. 26:44.332 --> 26:47.293 It has no soul, so it can't be driven away like a spirit. 26:47.377 --> 26:49.129 It's more troublesome to deal with. 26:49.754 --> 26:54.300 It torments those who carry darkness in their hearts and bewitches them. 26:54.384 --> 26:57.137 Go away. 26:58.847 --> 27:02.016 And we better go. The best plan is to avoid them. 27:08.857 --> 27:11.609 Then is the pond spirit a gwi-mae as well? 27:12.110 --> 27:15.029 Gwi-maes do not hold any grudges against humans. 27:15.113 --> 27:16.740 It is most likely a won-gwi. 27:16.823 --> 27:18.575 A won-gwi? What is a won-gwi? 27:18.658 --> 27:19.826 Heavens. 27:24.456 --> 27:25.832 There are several kinds of gwi. 27:26.750 --> 27:29.502 Common-gwi are souls bound by lingering attachments, 27:29.586 --> 27:31.546 unable to pass on to the afterlife. 27:31.629 --> 27:32.964 They are harmless. 27:33.882 --> 27:36.968 Won-gwi are the souls of those who died bearing deep resentment of others. 27:37.761 --> 27:40.346 They torment the ones who caused their resentment. 27:40.972 --> 27:44.184 And as the resentment grows larger, it weighs down the soul, 27:44.934 --> 27:47.270 therefore binding it to the earth forever. 27:51.483 --> 27:54.027 Only by removing that mass of resentment can the soul 27:54.110 --> 27:58.198 that has been bound to the earth be released and pass on to the afterlife. 27:58.990 --> 28:00.825 And this is no simple task to do. 28:03.912 --> 28:05.538 The pond spirit. 28:05.622 --> 28:07.582 That cunning pond spirit. 28:11.586 --> 28:14.255 Prince Yeongan is being tormented by the spirit, but… 28:15.590 --> 28:18.009 I cannot believe she turned down his request. 28:18.593 --> 28:21.596 Does the Queen Dowager have no sense of judgment at all? 28:21.679 --> 28:23.848 Huh? Well, well. 28:24.474 --> 28:26.518 Did you speak ill of the Queen Dowager? 28:26.601 --> 28:28.561 I thought you said that was treasonous. 28:31.231 --> 28:32.398 More importantly, 28:32.482 --> 28:34.984 why are you tearing apart the lining of a perfectly good blanket? 28:35.652 --> 28:37.570 Not your business. 28:38.947 --> 28:40.740 You are awfully carefree. 28:40.824 --> 28:42.826 You must see Prince Yeongan to drive the spirit away, 28:42.909 --> 28:44.369 yet you seem unconcerned. 28:44.452 --> 28:46.579 Heavens. Of course I'm concerned. 28:46.663 --> 28:48.748 If I fail to save His Majesty's son, 28:48.832 --> 28:51.084 I will be the one who dies. 28:51.167 --> 28:53.253 Because of that, I can't even sleep at night. 28:53.336 --> 28:56.339 What I mean is that poor child is currently getting tortured. 28:56.422 --> 28:57.966 Is that not pitiful to you? 28:58.049 --> 29:00.593 I barely know the child, so what do I have to do with it? 29:02.220 --> 29:04.180 How can you possibly be that selfish? 29:04.764 --> 29:08.142 Oh, and if you have the time, can you go look into that pond spirit? 29:08.226 --> 29:10.728 Find out who it was in life and what grudge it bears. 29:10.812 --> 29:13.398 Only with that information can the pond spirit be removed. 29:13.481 --> 29:15.733 It will be difficult. Not one person will even speak of it. 29:15.817 --> 29:18.778 Then go and fetch a peach tree branch, will you? 29:18.862 --> 29:20.154 One that extends east. 29:21.656 --> 29:22.574 Why? 29:22.657 --> 29:24.909 You never stop asking questions, do you? 29:26.411 --> 29:28.538 Find one quickly. 29:30.331 --> 29:32.000 Seriously, this man. 29:33.459 --> 29:35.628 Ask again, with some proper manners! 29:36.212 --> 29:37.505 Go, now! 29:37.589 --> 29:40.049 Some help this is. She doesn't know a damn thing. 29:43.303 --> 29:45.722 Why does it have to be a branch pointing east? 29:53.521 --> 29:54.397 There. 29:54.480 --> 29:56.316 This should be enough, shouldn't it? 29:56.399 --> 30:00.069 I have heard that peach trees drive spirits away from the land. 30:00.737 --> 30:01.696 Well done. 30:03.323 --> 30:05.658 And how do you intend to drive spirits away with… 30:05.742 --> 30:07.911 Oh boy! That feels good. 30:10.038 --> 30:11.623 Oh, that's the spot. 30:17.420 --> 30:19.297 I thought I was gonna die… 30:19.380 --> 30:21.424 You've just had an itch to scratch. 30:28.640 --> 30:30.433 I am writing to you, Father. 30:31.267 --> 30:33.770 It seems to me that you should set aside your concern 30:33.853 --> 30:36.940 that he might uncover the truth of the pond spirit 30:37.023 --> 30:40.109 because he is doing nothing whatsoever. 30:40.193 --> 30:41.903 He is holed up in his room all day, 30:41.986 --> 30:44.238 complaining about how he wants to take a nap. 30:49.035 --> 30:50.578 Did you hear about the spirit? 30:51.371 --> 30:53.957 How many times has this happened? This is terrible news! 30:54.040 --> 30:55.875 I honestly cannot believe this happened again. 30:55.959 --> 30:57.085 Tell me about it. 30:57.168 --> 30:59.087 So the rumors are true that there is a spirit? 30:59.170 --> 31:00.254 It seems that way. 31:00.338 --> 31:02.674 I heard that Prince Yeongan can't even eat. 31:02.757 --> 31:04.592 I know. They say he's even worse this time. 31:04.676 --> 31:05.593 Sorry… 31:07.595 --> 31:09.430 but is there something happening? 31:14.811 --> 31:17.397 No, Prince Yeongan. What is happening to you? 31:20.984 --> 31:23.027 Prince Yeongan! Prince Yeongan! 31:23.111 --> 31:25.405 Please, you need to come to your senses right now! 31:25.488 --> 31:28.449 You there, do something for this poor child, please! 31:29.200 --> 31:32.120 This cannot be. Has he truly been possessed by a spirit? 31:32.203 --> 31:34.455 What should we do? 31:40.795 --> 31:43.172 You have to come. It's Prince Yeongan. 31:49.178 --> 31:50.096 Already? 31:50.179 --> 31:51.848 What do you hope to try? 32:01.065 --> 32:02.191 It's time to go. 32:11.951 --> 32:13.578 What are you gonna do with all of that? 32:20.334 --> 32:23.379 Gu-cheon, wait. Are you on your way to see Prince Yeongan? 32:23.463 --> 32:25.465 It's not safe. You should wait here. 32:32.388 --> 32:34.724 You do not pay attention or listen, do you? 32:34.807 --> 32:36.476 I told you not to follow. 32:36.559 --> 32:38.686 I told you, you have to go to Prince Yeongan. 32:38.770 --> 32:41.189 That is exactly why I came here, to go to Prince Yeongan. 32:41.272 --> 32:42.940 What are you trying to do? 32:43.024 --> 32:46.069 I have no choice now but to let you see me in this state. 32:46.569 --> 32:50.406 You need to promise that you will never tell anyone what I'm about to do. 32:54.827 --> 32:57.246 Why are you smearing that with your blood? 32:57.330 --> 33:00.249 This is the only way to take this branch into the other side with me. 33:00.333 --> 33:02.293 By other side, do you mean… 33:03.252 --> 33:04.504 The World of Gwi. 33:06.255 --> 33:07.256 The World of Gwi? 33:07.340 --> 33:09.592 Even if I don't come back out of the water, 33:11.219 --> 33:12.845 you are not to save me, is that understood? 33:12.929 --> 33:14.430 Let you die is what you're telling me? 33:14.514 --> 33:17.517 That's right. That is how I can reach the other side. 33:19.018 --> 33:21.270 Well, since you've followed me this far… 33:26.776 --> 33:30.905 Spirits may be listening to us here, so come closer so I can tell you quietly. 33:45.461 --> 33:47.463 I lack Yang energy by nature, 33:47.547 --> 33:49.841 so it's better that I take something of yours along. 34:01.352 --> 34:02.937 It's time for you to go. 34:04.647 --> 34:06.482 And just remember what I said to you. 34:08.860 --> 34:10.111 Look at me! 37:47.411 --> 37:49.246 What… what should we do? 37:49.330 --> 37:50.915 What are we supposed to do now? 37:52.875 --> 37:53.793 Prince Yeongan! 37:53.876 --> 37:55.669 Prince Yeongan! 38:03.928 --> 38:05.388 Prince Yeongan! 38:22.154 --> 38:25.658 "I shall burn your vessel, shrouded in darkness." 39:01.152 --> 39:03.612 - Lady Jang… - Please stay with us, Prince Yeongan. 39:03.696 --> 39:06.157 - Bring the physician! - Yes, Your Highness. 39:31.474 --> 39:34.393 If Prince Yeongan shows any signs of waking up, 39:35.019 --> 39:36.770 you must show him your blood. 39:37.521 --> 39:39.190 The window will be brief. 40:34.161 --> 40:38.207 I knew it would not work. Not when I don't know its true nature. 40:58.102 --> 40:59.645 He really is here. 41:11.907 --> 41:13.367 Who are you? 41:14.159 --> 41:15.077 What grudge do you bear 41:15.160 --> 41:17.621 that's making you kill the royal bloodline?
