WEBVTT

00:00:45.254 --> 00:00:48.966 align:center
PERFECT CROWN

00:00:59.851 --> 00:01:01.060 align:center
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

00:01:01.061 --> 00:01:02.980 align:center
CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS
WERE FILMED SAFELY

00:01:16.618 --> 00:01:18.579 align:center
All rise
for His Majesty the King!

00:02:06.251 --> 00:02:08.378 align:center
Let us begin the discussion on abolishing…

00:02:10.255 --> 00:02:11.256 align:center
the monarchy.

00:02:22.184 --> 00:02:25.479 align:center
PERFECT CROWN

00:02:33.487 --> 00:02:34.946 align:center
So… No, no.

00:02:44.998 --> 00:02:47.375 align:center
He should have told them by now, right?

00:02:47.376 --> 00:02:48.459 align:center
Yes, he should have.

00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:51.504 align:center
The court historians
must've recorded it by now, right?

00:02:51.505 --> 00:02:53.923 align:center
Once it's in the records,
it's set in stone.

00:02:53.924 --> 00:02:55.132 align:center
We're in trouble now.

00:02:55.133 --> 00:02:57.843 align:center
This won't do. I'll call Hyejeong…
I mean, Aide Do--

00:02:57.844 --> 00:02:58.845 align:center
Just shush!

00:03:06.269 --> 00:03:09.398 align:center
Tomorrow, you'll be His Majesty,
and not His Royal Highness.

00:03:10.941 --> 00:03:12.566 align:center
You'll also be Queen tomorrow,

00:03:12.567 --> 00:03:13.777 align:center
and not the Grand Princess.

00:03:15.821 --> 00:03:17.614 align:center
What will you record first in the Annals?

00:03:21.326 --> 00:03:24.286 align:center
On the day the newly crowned king
first enters the Throne Hall,

00:03:24.287 --> 00:03:27.457 align:center
all are assembled,
from the Cabinet to the royal family.

00:03:28.166 --> 00:03:30.502 align:center
Like a traditional ceremony of sorts?

00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:33.088 align:center
With all the court historians too.

00:03:34.047 --> 00:03:35.131 align:center
Yeah.

00:03:35.132 --> 00:03:37.467 align:center
I didn't even know this was a big deal.

00:03:38.093 --> 00:03:39.510 align:center
I've seen so many gatherings.

00:03:41.972 --> 00:03:44.641 align:center
That's because we caused them
a great deal of trouble.

00:03:48.687 --> 00:03:49.688 align:center
So?

00:03:50.772 --> 00:03:52.858 align:center
What will be
your first proclamation as King?

00:04:04.244 --> 00:04:05.829 align:center
Words that…

00:04:09.583 --> 00:04:10.834 align:center
carry great weight.

00:04:15.589 --> 00:04:17.048 align:center
The backlash could be severe.

00:04:19.634 --> 00:04:21.052 align:center
But still, I'm sure you…

00:04:22.137 --> 00:04:23.472 align:center
I will understand you.

00:04:32.981 --> 00:04:34.357 align:center
I'm going to abolish the Crown.

00:04:38.528 --> 00:04:39.738 align:center
Inherited titles and status

00:04:40.405 --> 00:04:41.948 align:center
can become a privilege

00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:43.950 align:center
or a constraint.

00:04:46.828 --> 00:04:48.079 align:center
It all stems from the Crown.

00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.547 align:center
I thought it was treason.

00:05:01.134 --> 00:05:02.469 align:center
Turns out it was a revolution.

00:05:03.887 --> 00:05:04.888 align:center
Your dream.

00:05:18.568 --> 00:05:19.986 align:center
You've just attained this title.

00:05:20.821 --> 00:05:22.571 align:center
Are you ready to let it go?

00:05:22.572 --> 00:05:26.409 align:center
I never said I wanted status.

00:05:27.869 --> 00:05:30.330 align:center
I was just pissed off
about the opportunities it cost me.

00:05:36.044 --> 00:05:37.254 align:center
That's when I knew.

00:05:39.047 --> 00:05:40.048 align:center
That you'd be…

00:05:41.591 --> 00:05:42.592 align:center
my revolution.

00:06:01.611 --> 00:06:02.779 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:06:03.363 --> 00:06:04.822 align:center
Abolition of the monarchy?

00:06:04.823 --> 00:06:06.366 align:center
You cannot mean what you say.

00:06:06.867 --> 00:06:09.660 align:center
Every year, most nations
with constitutional monarchies

00:06:09.661 --> 00:06:11.787 align:center
revisit the question
of their own abolition.

00:06:11.788 --> 00:06:13.706 align:center
But that is…

00:06:13.707 --> 00:06:15.166 align:center
Prime Minister Min.

00:06:15.876 --> 00:06:16.959 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:18.795 align:center
What about our country?

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:23.257 align:center
We conduct formal opinion polls,
but opposition remains high every year.

00:06:23.258 --> 00:06:25.260 align:center
I believe the divide is not so vast.

00:06:26.970 --> 00:06:28.346 align:center
For a decade now,

00:06:29.097 --> 00:06:30.848 align:center
that gap has steadily narrowed.

00:06:30.849 --> 00:06:33.602 align:center
The Crown does not exist
to prove its worth.

00:06:35.687 --> 00:06:38.315 align:center
Its value lies in its very existence.

00:06:46.323 --> 00:06:49.284 align:center
"We do not need a king
who lacks the people's support."

00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:51.828 align:center
I believe those were your words.

00:06:54.831 --> 00:06:55.832 align:center
Have you forgotten?

00:07:08.887 --> 00:07:10.347 align:center
Kings may come and go…

00:07:16.186 --> 00:07:17.687 align:center
but the Crown endures.

00:07:24.027 --> 00:07:26.195 align:center
You're saying the Cabinet
and Royal Relatives

00:07:26.196 --> 00:07:28.073 align:center
will oppose it, no question?

00:07:28.698 --> 00:07:29.948 align:center
Yes.

00:07:29.949 --> 00:07:33.410 align:center
Most of the establishment
is connected to the Crown.

00:07:33.411 --> 00:07:36.580 align:center
The monarchy and the political world
have always sustained each other.

00:07:36.581 --> 00:07:38.667 align:center
The Royal Relatives go without saying.

00:07:40.877 --> 00:07:42.629 align:center
So His Majesty has nothing to rely on

00:07:43.838 --> 00:07:45.382 align:center
but public sentiment.

00:07:50.011 --> 00:07:51.470 align:center
- There he is!
- He's here!

00:07:54.933 --> 00:07:57.184 align:center
Is it true there are talks
of abolishing the monarchy?

00:07:57.185 --> 00:07:58.895 align:center
Is this your first time hearing about it?

00:08:04.275 --> 00:08:05.943 align:center
The people of this nation

00:08:05.944 --> 00:08:08.196 align:center
have nothing to worry about.

00:08:09.197 --> 00:08:11.115 align:center
Please say more!

00:08:11.116 --> 00:08:12.616 align:center
One more statement, please!

00:08:16.287 --> 00:08:19.289 align:center
The release
of the 34th monarch's first agenda

00:08:19.290 --> 00:08:21.458 align:center
has triggered a major stir.

00:08:21.459 --> 00:08:25.045 align:center
This agenda starts the discussion
on the abolition of the monarchy.

00:08:25.046 --> 00:08:27.464 align:center
As Prime Minister Min left the palace,

00:08:27.465 --> 00:08:29.091 align:center
he reassured the public…

00:08:29.092 --> 00:08:30.551 align:center
He just ascended the throne.

00:08:30.552 --> 00:08:32.553 align:center
Why would he abolish the monarchy?

00:08:32.554 --> 00:08:33.637 align:center
I know, right?

00:08:33.638 --> 00:08:35.849 align:center
Do you think Father knows about this?

00:08:36.474 --> 00:08:37.851 align:center
Damn it…

00:09:17.348 --> 00:09:19.934 align:center
How dare you show your face here?

00:09:22.854 --> 00:09:24.606 align:center
I wanted to see for myself

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:27.775 align:center
the gravity of the sins I have committed.

00:09:27.776 --> 00:09:30.695 align:center
Do you even realize what you have done?

00:09:32.072 --> 00:09:35.033 align:center
I'm asking if it feels good
to cast aside your own father and son.

00:09:37.118 --> 00:09:39.412 align:center
Have you no pity for that poor boy,

00:09:40.789 --> 00:09:44.459 align:center
now cast into the shadows
like some relic of a bygone age?

00:09:46.878 --> 00:09:48.004 align:center
That poor boy…

00:09:51.049 --> 00:09:52.425 align:center
knew everything all along.

00:09:55.053 --> 00:09:57.222 align:center
He knew the full measure of my sins,

00:09:58.932 --> 00:10:01.434 align:center
and he silently shouldered
that heavy burden.

00:10:02.018 --> 00:10:03.185 align:center
What are you saying?

00:10:03.186 --> 00:10:05.021 align:center
Do you know how I felt

00:10:06.189 --> 00:10:08.691 align:center
when I learned of your sins?

00:10:12.737 --> 00:10:14.614 align:center
When you so proudly claimed

00:10:15.907 --> 00:10:17.450 align:center
that it was all for my sake.

00:10:19.702 --> 00:10:22.914 align:center
Do you know how that made me feel?

00:10:30.088 --> 00:10:31.089 align:center
So…

00:10:33.133 --> 00:10:35.135 align:center
may this mark the end of your sins.

00:10:36.886 --> 00:10:38.054 align:center
From this day forth…

00:10:42.058 --> 00:10:43.476 align:center
you have no daughter to claim.

00:10:57.657 --> 00:10:58.700 align:center
Your Majesty!

00:11:01.995 --> 00:11:03.621 align:center
Prime Minister Min, that bastard…

00:11:14.883 --> 00:11:16.718 align:center
He knew about the explosion

00:11:17.719 --> 00:11:20.471 align:center
when he drew
the Grand Prince to that place.

00:11:22.974 --> 00:11:25.602 align:center
You must stop either
the Grand Prince or His Majesty.

00:11:26.936 --> 00:11:28.104 align:center
Do whatever you must.

00:12:08.937 --> 00:12:09.938 align:center
Let me escort you

00:12:10.939 --> 00:12:12.523 align:center
back to the palace.

00:12:22.075 --> 00:12:24.994 align:center
MY SON

00:12:35.380 --> 00:12:36.463 align:center
There he is.

00:12:36.464 --> 00:12:37.547 align:center
Father.

00:12:37.548 --> 00:12:40.884 align:center
Is it true what they're saying
about abolishing the monarchy?

00:12:40.885 --> 00:12:42.302 align:center
- They're not, right?
- Are they?

00:12:42.303 --> 00:12:44.096 align:center
How can they abolish the Crown?

00:12:44.097 --> 00:12:45.890 align:center
Father, say something.

00:12:48.518 --> 00:12:50.936 align:center
My brother-in-law just
became King.

00:12:50.937 --> 00:12:53.230 align:center
How can they abolish it already?

00:12:53.231 --> 00:12:55.065 align:center
- "Brother-in-law"?
- Why? What's wrong?

00:12:55.066 --> 00:12:56.900 align:center
He is my brother-in-law, right?

00:12:56.901 --> 00:12:58.403 align:center
Address him properly.

00:12:58.945 --> 00:13:00.904 align:center
You don't want to get people talking.

00:13:00.905 --> 00:13:02.281 align:center
Let's not kid ourselves.

00:13:02.282 --> 00:13:04.491 align:center
There's no title to speak of
if there's no Crown.

00:13:04.492 --> 00:13:06.868 align:center
You just became Lord JUNGHWA.
You're finally a lord--

00:13:06.869 --> 00:13:07.954 align:center
Taeju!

00:13:13.710 --> 00:13:15.503 align:center
For the time being,

00:13:16.921 --> 00:13:18.006 align:center
watch your backs.

00:13:20.049 --> 00:13:21.133 align:center
Our backs?

00:13:21.134 --> 00:13:24.136 align:center
Why would you say
something like that, Father?

00:13:24.137 --> 00:13:25.179 align:center
You're scaring me.

00:13:29.183 --> 00:13:30.184 align:center
Wait…

00:13:36.774 --> 00:13:39.819 align:center
There will be another discussion
on the monarchy's abolition next week.

00:13:40.695 --> 00:13:43.406 align:center
His Majesty will seek to leave
that decision to the people.

00:13:44.198 --> 00:13:45.450 align:center
The Cabinet will oppose it.

00:13:46.534 --> 00:13:49.454 align:center
I'll need you
to voice your objection there.

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:57.170 align:center
I am powerless.

00:13:59.756 --> 00:14:01.382 align:center
I'm not asking you to exercise power.

00:14:02.175 --> 00:14:04.259 align:center
Simply hint that the abolition
of the monarchy

00:14:04.260 --> 00:14:08.097 align:center
is His Majesty's own pursuit,
not the will of the Crown.

00:14:08.848 --> 00:14:09.932 align:center
And if I refuse?

00:14:11.434 --> 00:14:13.144 align:center
What will happen then?

00:14:18.691 --> 00:14:21.611 align:center
Do you wish to see your only son
follow in your father's footsteps…

00:14:24.322 --> 00:14:25.823 align:center
and be branded a criminal as well?

00:14:39.587 --> 00:14:40.797 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:14:42.548 --> 00:14:44.341 align:center
Prime Minister Min is not holding back.

00:14:44.342 --> 00:14:46.427 align:center
The palace budget has been put on hold.

00:14:52.308 --> 00:14:55.477 align:center
I knew he'd try to rein us in,
but I expected a different approach.

00:14:55.478 --> 00:14:57.521 align:center
Snipping the purse strings was a low blow.

00:14:57.522 --> 00:14:59.689 align:center
This will immobilize
the Queen's Quarters first.

00:14:59.690 --> 00:15:02.026 align:center
The royal finances are
under the Queen's jurisdiction.

00:15:02.652 --> 00:15:05.446 align:center
She just became Queen
and is already set to come under fire.

00:15:05.947 --> 00:15:07.323 align:center
What's the most pressing issue?

00:15:07.907 --> 00:15:09.325 align:center
The palace attendants' salaries.

00:15:09.867 --> 00:15:11.869 align:center
The Royal Guard
and administrative officials…

00:15:14.664 --> 00:15:15.665 align:center
Excuse me.

00:15:16.791 --> 00:15:17.959 align:center
I'm Seong Huiju.

00:15:18.584 --> 00:15:20.335 align:center
The only money problems I've had were,

00:15:20.336 --> 00:15:22.963 align:center
"Gosh, how am I ever going
to spend all this money?"

00:15:22.964 --> 00:15:24.297 align:center
That's it.

00:15:24.298 --> 00:15:26.383 align:center
So what? Will you donate to the Crown?

00:15:26.384 --> 00:15:27.884 align:center
Yeah.

00:15:27.885 --> 00:15:29.137 align:center
What?

00:15:29.846 --> 00:15:33.223 align:center
What's the point of having wealthy in-laws
if you can't make use of them?

00:15:33.224 --> 00:15:36.059 align:center
- Let me see. How short is the budget?
- Well, this is…

00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:38.521 align:center
I appreciate the sentiment, but no.

00:15:39.021 --> 00:15:40.730 align:center
We need to think long-term.

00:15:40.731 --> 00:15:43.191 align:center
We can't think long-term right now.

00:15:43.192 --> 00:15:44.735 align:center
I already told you.

00:15:45.236 --> 00:15:47.362 align:center
When you pursue
a venture everyone opposes,

00:15:47.363 --> 00:15:49.699 align:center
you can't give them the time to object.

00:15:54.412 --> 00:15:56.247 align:center
PRIME MINISTER MIN JEONGWOO

00:15:56.873 --> 00:15:59.875 align:center
The Crown must've been up in arms.
Thank you for handling that.

00:15:59.876 --> 00:16:01.169 align:center
Actually, sir…

00:16:07.008 --> 00:16:10.136 align:center
The palace turned down funding
for the second half of the year.

00:16:12.430 --> 00:16:14.431 align:center
But they won't
be able to operate without it.

00:16:14.432 --> 00:16:16.850 align:center
Castle Group has made
a donation to the Crown.

00:16:16.851 --> 00:16:19.604 align:center
The amount they received
exceeds their annual budget.

00:16:27.028 --> 00:16:28.988 align:center
Look at His Majesty
making use of his in-laws.

00:16:30.364 --> 00:16:31.365 align:center
How petty.

00:16:36.495 --> 00:16:38.496 align:center
GREMLIN

00:16:45.671 --> 00:16:46.838 align:center
Hey, Dayeong.

00:16:46.839 --> 00:16:48.299 align:center
I'm a bit busy right now.

00:16:58.392 --> 00:17:00.603 align:center
What's going on? What summons?

00:17:02.396 --> 00:17:03.898 align:center
Is this intel from your family?

00:17:04.815 --> 00:17:05.899 align:center
Yes.

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:07.776 align:center
It's a slush fund probe.

00:17:07.777 --> 00:17:11.113 align:center
They say a formal summons
will be issued within a day or two…

00:17:14.617 --> 00:17:15.618 align:center
This is clearly

00:17:16.869 --> 00:17:18.370 align:center
a direct attack on me.

00:17:18.371 --> 00:17:20.330 align:center
If you know that, don't play into it.

00:17:20.331 --> 00:17:21.332 align:center
I won't.

00:17:22.375 --> 00:17:24.502 align:center
It's a threat to deter us
from funding the Crown.

00:17:25.962 --> 00:17:27.838 align:center
Why give them the satisfaction?

00:17:32.134 --> 00:17:33.219 align:center
What's with that face?

00:17:34.303 --> 00:17:35.387 align:center
Dayeong.

00:17:35.388 --> 00:17:37.722 align:center
Can you check
who is leading the investigation?

00:17:37.723 --> 00:17:39.183 align:center
Why do you ask?

00:17:39.934 --> 00:17:41.477 align:center
I'm going to change the narrative.

00:17:42.061 --> 00:17:43.104 align:center
From slush funds

00:17:44.272 --> 00:17:45.439 align:center
to abuse of power.

00:17:51.404 --> 00:17:52.572 align:center
Well, in that case…

00:17:53.239 --> 00:17:54.782 align:center
I'll go in for questioning, Father.

00:17:55.324 --> 00:17:58.201 align:center
Are you nuts? Why would you do that?

00:17:58.202 --> 00:18:00.495 align:center
Father's blood pressure
has been acting up and all.

00:18:00.496 --> 00:18:03.582 align:center
The stress from all the questioning
might just push him over the edge.

00:18:03.583 --> 00:18:08.421 align:center
And it's only right for the successor
to handle these matters.

00:18:09.088 --> 00:18:11.548 align:center
- Babe, are you still drunk?
- Don't be absurd--

00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:13.175 align:center
Go ahead then.

00:18:14.176 --> 00:18:15.553 align:center
What?

00:18:17.054 --> 00:18:20.348 align:center
A bit of media exposure
wouldn't be the worst thing.

00:18:20.349 --> 00:18:21.767 align:center
Father.

00:18:22.435 --> 00:18:23.560 align:center
Is that all, Father?

00:18:23.561 --> 00:18:26.855 align:center
I've actually been meaning
to say this for a while now.

00:18:26.856 --> 00:18:29.983 align:center
Right now, I'm offering
to take your place in the investigation,

00:18:29.984 --> 00:18:31.318 align:center
out of pure filial devotion.

00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.321 align:center
I'm not asking
for tears of gratitude, am I?

00:18:34.322 --> 00:18:35.655 align:center
But maybe a little praise?

00:18:35.656 --> 00:18:36.991 align:center
Or at least a warm…

00:18:37.867 --> 00:18:38.909 align:center
What? Too far?

00:18:40.620 --> 00:18:41.703 align:center
I'm off.

00:18:41.704 --> 00:18:42.705 align:center
Wait.

00:18:43.664 --> 00:18:46.000 align:center
Don't just sit there.
Escort her back to the palace.

00:18:46.584 --> 00:18:47.877 align:center
Me? Escort who?

00:18:48.628 --> 00:18:49.629 align:center
Her?

00:18:56.719 --> 00:18:58.095 align:center
You shouldn't be out alone.

00:19:14.195 --> 00:19:15.404 align:center
What? What now?

00:19:15.988 --> 00:19:19.282 align:center
Castle Beauty's legal team
is highly capable.

00:19:19.283 --> 00:19:20.618 align:center
What?

00:19:21.744 --> 00:19:23.079 align:center
Let me know if you need help.

00:19:27.541 --> 00:19:28.625 align:center
You worried about me?

00:19:28.626 --> 00:19:30.336 align:center
You must be insane.

00:19:31.629 --> 00:19:33.129 align:center
That's not it.

00:19:33.130 --> 00:19:34.840 align:center
You're going in Father's place.

00:19:35.341 --> 00:19:36.550 align:center
So do it right.

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:38.636 align:center
Don't give them any ammunition.

00:19:40.805 --> 00:19:43.391 align:center
Hey, I have years of experience
as a wealthy heir too.

00:19:44.392 --> 00:19:46.142 align:center
You're the only one who belittles me.

00:19:46.143 --> 00:19:47.186 align:center
Just you.

00:19:49.438 --> 00:19:50.856 align:center
I'll try to be less harsh now.

00:19:51.941 --> 00:19:53.150 align:center
Brother.

00:19:55.486 --> 00:19:56.487 align:center
"Brother"?

00:19:59.448 --> 00:20:01.617 align:center
Wait, what are you going to do?

00:20:02.368 --> 00:20:03.451 align:center
What was it?

00:20:03.452 --> 00:20:04.536 align:center
You're doing what now?

00:20:11.711 --> 00:20:14.088 align:center
"I'll try to be less harsh now."

00:20:15.005 --> 00:20:18.134 align:center
No way.

00:20:20.678 --> 00:20:23.639 align:center
Your Majesty,
the Queen has arrived.

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:25.599 align:center
Show her in.

00:20:33.065 --> 00:20:34.108 align:center
What's wrong?

00:20:34.692 --> 00:20:36.277 align:center
I'm exhausted.

00:20:45.369 --> 00:20:47.079 align:center
I went to see Father today.

00:20:48.998 --> 00:20:49.999 align:center
Your father?

00:20:50.833 --> 00:20:51.876 align:center
Nobody told me that.

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:54.502 align:center
I slipped out alone
without telling anyone,

00:20:54.503 --> 00:20:56.255 align:center
so don't give Aide Choi a hard time.

00:20:58.549 --> 00:20:59.550 align:center
You went alone?

00:21:00.176 --> 00:21:01.594 align:center
I had no other choice.

00:21:02.428 --> 00:21:03.721 align:center
I was feeling too restless.

00:21:05.890 --> 00:21:06.932 align:center
Why?

00:21:14.482 --> 00:21:15.733 align:center
As early as tomorrow,

00:21:16.525 --> 00:21:18.694 align:center
prosecutors will begin
investigating Castle Group.

00:21:21.989 --> 00:21:23.282 align:center
Hold on. Get up--

00:21:26.744 --> 00:21:28.996 align:center
Father told me
not to play into their hands.

00:21:30.623 --> 00:21:34.877 align:center
Seong Taeju volunteered for questioning
with his chest all puffed up.

00:21:36.462 --> 00:21:37.962 align:center
It was so annoying.

00:21:39.048 --> 00:21:41.174 align:center
Why couldn't they just get angry?

00:21:41.175 --> 00:21:42.593 align:center
That would've been less awkward.

00:21:45.888 --> 00:21:46.889 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:21:49.850 --> 00:21:51.602 align:center
Then again, you know…

00:21:52.186 --> 00:21:54.396 align:center
I mean, like…

00:21:55.981 --> 00:21:57.191 align:center
I didn't exactly hate it.

00:22:00.027 --> 00:22:01.654 align:center
It felt a bit reassuring,

00:22:02.446 --> 00:22:03.948 align:center
in a way.

00:22:10.663 --> 00:22:12.331 align:center
You should do that for me too.

00:22:13.833 --> 00:22:15.251 align:center
You should hold your ground

00:22:16.126 --> 00:22:17.336 align:center
and puff out your chest,

00:22:18.170 --> 00:22:19.420 align:center
so I can feel reassured.

00:22:32.768 --> 00:22:33.769 align:center
I will.

00:22:38.607 --> 00:22:39.608 align:center
Do it again.

00:22:42.194 --> 00:22:43.612 align:center
- Super reassuring, right?
- Yeah.

00:22:57.710 --> 00:23:00.671 align:center
Do you wish to see your only
son follow in your father's footsteps…

00:23:02.298 --> 00:23:03.799 align:center
and be branded a criminal as well?

00:23:12.725 --> 00:23:14.226 align:center
What is that supposed to mean?

00:23:18.689 --> 00:23:20.523 align:center
I'm referring to three years ago,

00:23:20.524 --> 00:23:23.027 align:center
when you disposed
of the late King's royal edict.

00:23:30.784 --> 00:23:32.702 align:center
I do not know what you are talking about--

00:23:32.703 --> 00:23:35.998 align:center
If it's revealed you defied a royal decree
to seat your son upon the throne,

00:23:36.999 --> 00:23:38.083 align:center
the abdicated King

00:23:39.418 --> 00:23:41.503 align:center
will go down in history as a criminal.

00:23:44.256 --> 00:23:46.717 align:center
Not as a king or even a royal.

00:23:48.093 --> 00:23:49.178 align:center
Just a criminal.

00:23:52.598 --> 00:23:53.599 align:center
For eternity.

00:23:56.268 --> 00:23:57.645 align:center
How dare you…

00:24:02.399 --> 00:24:03.775 align:center
I've only kept my mouth shut

00:24:03.776 --> 00:24:05.986 align:center
because I was worried
the Crown would crumble.

00:24:08.781 --> 00:24:10.616 align:center
You worry that much about the Crown…

00:24:14.036 --> 00:24:15.829 align:center
yet you tried to kill I-AN?

00:24:26.423 --> 00:24:28.384 align:center
I am willing to do whatever it takes…

00:24:31.011 --> 00:24:32.554 align:center
as many times as necessary.

00:24:48.654 --> 00:24:50.114 align:center
How difficult it is…

00:24:52.449 --> 00:24:53.909 align:center
just to keep you safe.

00:25:04.628 --> 00:25:06.129 align:center
There he is!

00:25:17.808 --> 00:25:19.559 align:center
Is it true that Castle Group maintains

00:25:19.560 --> 00:25:21.728 align:center
a slush fund
in the hundreds of billions of won?

00:25:21.729 --> 00:25:24.022 align:center
Can you explain the donation
you made to the Crown?

00:25:24.023 --> 00:25:26.482 align:center
Has the Queen reached out to you at all?

00:25:26.483 --> 00:25:28.109 align:center
Let's all calm down first.

00:25:28.110 --> 00:25:30.571 align:center
- Castle Group's slush fund…
- Let me just say this first.

00:25:31.739 --> 00:25:35.450 align:center
Well, you know, the Crown and the Cabinet

00:25:35.451 --> 00:25:38.202 align:center
just happens to be clashing
at this moment.

00:25:38.203 --> 00:25:40.621 align:center
The timing of this
seems just perfect, doesn't it?

00:25:40.622 --> 00:25:42.207 align:center
But still,

00:25:42.791 --> 00:25:45.294 align:center
I pledge to fully cooperate
with the investigation.

00:26:00.893 --> 00:26:02.186 align:center
Do you have something to say?

00:26:04.313 --> 00:26:05.314 align:center
No, Your Majesty.

00:26:10.277 --> 00:26:11.403 align:center
What is it?

00:26:12.071 --> 00:26:15.449 align:center
Perhaps you'd like
to visit the Queen Mother's Quarters?

00:26:18.243 --> 00:26:21.955 align:center
I believe you should if you want
to persuade the Office of Royal Relatives.

00:26:26.376 --> 00:26:27.544 align:center
Let her rest.

00:26:30.464 --> 00:26:32.424 align:center
She has only just ended her battle.

00:26:41.266 --> 00:26:42.726 align:center
Can you imagine it?

00:26:45.646 --> 00:26:47.773 align:center
This nation without a monarchy.

00:26:49.149 --> 00:26:50.776 align:center
I am curious.

00:26:55.114 --> 00:26:56.823 align:center
Are you not afraid?

00:26:56.824 --> 00:26:59.952 align:center
Are you afraid, Mother?

00:27:20.013 --> 00:27:21.140 align:center
That's surprising.

00:27:22.349 --> 00:27:23.683 align:center
What is?

00:27:23.684 --> 00:27:26.562 align:center
I heard she's barely left
her quarters recently.

00:27:27.729 --> 00:27:28.730 align:center
Is that so?

00:27:29.273 --> 00:27:31.191 align:center
After what happened
with Lord INPYEONG,

00:27:31.692 --> 00:27:34.736 align:center
she probably finds it difficult
to face the court attendants right now.

00:27:46.123 --> 00:27:48.125 align:center
Are you asking me for help?

00:27:49.751 --> 00:27:50.752 align:center
Yes.

00:27:52.546 --> 00:27:53.755 align:center
The royal family

00:27:55.173 --> 00:27:56.884 align:center
still listens to what you have to say.

00:27:59.177 --> 00:28:01.555 align:center
I had wondered why His Majesty
withheld his punishment.

00:28:04.266 --> 00:28:06.018 align:center
It appears he had his reasons.

00:28:32.502 --> 00:28:33.503 align:center
It is me.

00:28:40.427 --> 00:28:41.762 align:center
You made the right decision.

00:29:31.311 --> 00:29:33.605 align:center
I have reviewed
the petition you have submitted.

00:29:36.441 --> 00:29:37.900 align:center
The royal family called upon me

00:29:37.901 --> 00:29:40.070 align:center
to safeguard the realm and the dynasty.

00:29:41.822 --> 00:29:44.449 align:center
And the Cabinet implored me
to fulfill my duties as the King.

00:29:45.534 --> 00:29:47.577 align:center
Is that correct?

00:29:48.787 --> 00:29:51.539 align:center
We were simply speaking
on behalf of the public, Your Majesty.

00:29:51.540 --> 00:29:52.582 align:center
Did you bother to ask?

00:29:53.917 --> 00:29:54.960 align:center
It is my understanding…

00:29:56.712 --> 00:29:58.504 align:center
that the people were never surveyed.

00:30:00.090 --> 00:30:01.091 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:30:01.717 --> 00:30:03.844 align:center
- The Cabinet was chosen by the people--
- So?

00:30:04.428 --> 00:30:06.972 align:center
You intend to make every choice for them?

00:30:11.143 --> 00:30:12.394 align:center
"All people are equal."

00:30:13.478 --> 00:30:17.064 align:center
It is stipulated in our Constitution.
However, the existence of the Crown

00:30:17.065 --> 00:30:19.150 align:center
only serves to reinforce class divisions

00:30:19.151 --> 00:30:21.193 align:center
and undermine equality, does it not?

00:30:21.194 --> 00:30:22.319 align:center
Your Majesty, that is--

00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:23.989 align:center
Shielded by royal privileges,

00:30:25.365 --> 00:30:26.783 align:center
royal family members run amok,

00:30:28.702 --> 00:30:30.870 align:center
and the nobles aligned with them

00:30:30.871 --> 00:30:32.497 align:center
flaunt their power before the people.

00:30:33.290 --> 00:30:34.458 align:center
What do you think of this?

00:30:38.962 --> 00:30:40.255 align:center
What you seek to preserve

00:30:41.590 --> 00:30:42.632 align:center
is neither this kingdom

00:30:44.551 --> 00:30:45.594 align:center
nor the monarchy.

00:30:46.845 --> 00:30:48.597 align:center
It is merely your precious noble status.

00:30:56.188 --> 00:30:57.189 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:30:58.231 --> 00:31:01.943 align:center
Having lived a life sheltered by privilege
in an unequal world, you may not be aware.

00:31:02.486 --> 00:31:05.280 align:center
But the Crown's contribution
to the nation is not just financial.

00:31:05.947 --> 00:31:07.824 align:center
Economy, diplomacy, and culture.

00:31:08.325 --> 00:31:09.700 align:center
Its influence extends--

00:31:09.701 --> 00:31:11.078 align:center
So?

00:31:14.122 --> 00:31:15.706 align:center
Is that why you tried to kill him?

00:31:23.715 --> 00:31:26.093 align:center
Economy, diplomacy, and culture.

00:31:27.010 --> 00:31:30.262 align:center
Did the threat of abolishing
such an influential monarchy

00:31:30.263 --> 00:31:32.224 align:center
compel you to attempt to assassinate…

00:31:35.894 --> 00:31:37.437 align:center
the King of this nation?

00:31:38.396 --> 00:31:39.397 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:31:42.275 --> 00:31:43.401 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:31:52.202 --> 00:31:53.994 align:center
RECORDING 1

00:31:53.995 --> 00:31:57.707 align:center
Do you wish to see your only
son follow in your father's footsteps…

00:31:58.208 --> 00:31:59.876 align:center
and be branded a criminal as well?

00:32:01.753 --> 00:32:03.421 align:center
What is that supposed to mean?

00:32:03.922 --> 00:32:05.756 align:center
I've only kept my mouth shut

00:32:05.757 --> 00:32:08.009 align:center
because I was worried
the Crown would crumble.

00:32:09.010 --> 00:32:11.262 align:center
You worry that much about the Crown,

00:32:11.263 --> 00:32:13.306 align:center
yet you tried to kill I-AN?

00:32:14.766 --> 00:32:17.144 align:center
I am willing to do
whatever it takes…

00:32:19.229 --> 00:32:20.897 align:center
as many times as necessary.

00:32:32.367 --> 00:32:34.035 align:center
The day I went to visit my father…

00:32:36.246 --> 00:32:37.664 align:center
Let me escort you

00:32:39.332 --> 00:32:40.875 align:center
back to the palace.

00:32:42.794 --> 00:32:44.462 align:center
MY SON

00:32:50.677 --> 00:32:53.555 align:center
This is what
Prime Minister Min had come to tell me.

00:32:59.603 --> 00:33:01.855 align:center
His Majesty cannot bring himself
to forsake mercy.

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:05.483 align:center
However, you are different.

00:33:07.402 --> 00:33:08.987 align:center
When it comes to Prime Minister Min,

00:33:10.363 --> 00:33:11.698 align:center
no blow will cut deeper

00:33:12.699 --> 00:33:14.201 align:center
than one that comes from you.

00:33:36.806 --> 00:33:37.807 align:center
Is this…

00:33:39.601 --> 00:33:40.727 align:center
all true?

00:33:46.191 --> 00:33:47.776 align:center
Answer me!

00:33:48.610 --> 00:33:51.362 align:center
Your Majesty, perhaps we should
verify the facts first--

00:33:51.363 --> 00:33:52.572 align:center
I asked the prime minister.

00:33:53.156 --> 00:33:55.617 align:center
- Please excuse the royal family--
- From now on,

00:33:57.077 --> 00:33:58.787 align:center
anyone who defends the prime minister…

00:34:00.789 --> 00:34:02.082 align:center
shall be deemed an accomplice

00:34:03.708 --> 00:34:05.210 align:center
to the one who sought my life.

00:34:09.673 --> 00:34:11.549 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:34:45.041 --> 00:34:46.042 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:34:46.918 --> 00:34:47.919 align:center
Go…

00:34:49.504 --> 00:34:50.964 align:center
and protect His Majesty.

00:34:51.589 --> 00:34:52.674 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:35:25.415 --> 00:35:26.416 align:center
Jeongwoo.

00:35:34.007 --> 00:35:35.133 align:center
Did you really…

00:35:38.553 --> 00:35:39.554 align:center
try to…

00:35:43.141 --> 00:35:44.392 align:center
Try to kill you?

00:35:51.399 --> 00:35:52.400 align:center
Yeah.

00:36:06.414 --> 00:36:07.415 align:center
Why?

00:36:15.548 --> 00:36:16.633 align:center
I begged you.

00:36:21.429 --> 00:36:23.098 align:center
I begged you to push Huiju away.

00:36:25.141 --> 00:36:27.060 align:center
I told you I'd protect you if you did.

00:36:28.561 --> 00:36:29.688 align:center
Time and time again.

00:36:58.508 --> 00:36:59.551 align:center
It's your fault…

00:37:02.345 --> 00:37:03.471 align:center
I turned out this way.

00:37:23.658 --> 00:37:25.118 align:center
It's your fault for thinking…

00:37:31.332 --> 00:37:33.168 align:center
I took her when she was never yours.

00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:39.901 align:center
Are you okay?

00:38:42.737 --> 00:38:43.738 align:center
What about you?

00:38:57.168 --> 00:38:58.253 align:center
You did well.

00:39:12.267 --> 00:39:14.601 align:center
For the first time
in constitutional history,

00:39:14.602 --> 00:39:16.854 align:center
a nationwide referendum

00:39:16.855 --> 00:39:19.815 align:center
on the future of the monarchy
commenced at 8:00 a.m. today.

00:39:19.816 --> 00:39:22.317 align:center
This vote, which stands
to fundamentally reshape the relationship

00:39:22.318 --> 00:39:24.945 align:center
between the monarchy,
the government, and the people,

00:39:24.946 --> 00:39:29.157 align:center
is being widely regarded
as a defining moment for the nation.

00:39:29.158 --> 00:39:32.619 align:center
Following extensive negotiations,
the Crown and the government have agreed

00:39:32.620 --> 00:39:36.790 align:center
to put the question of abolishing
the monarchy to a public vote.

00:39:36.791 --> 00:39:38.625 align:center
Ultimately, His Majesty's principle

00:39:38.626 --> 00:39:42.588 align:center
that the people must decide
whether the monarchy is retained

00:39:42.589 --> 00:39:44.923 align:center
or abolished has prevailed.

00:39:48.386 --> 00:39:49.762 align:center
What would you want to do first

00:39:51.014 --> 00:39:52.181 align:center
if it passes?

00:39:53.558 --> 00:39:54.684 align:center
Hmm.

00:39:56.561 --> 00:39:57.562 align:center
My name.

00:39:58.313 --> 00:39:59.314 align:center
Your name?

00:40:00.273 --> 00:40:01.274 align:center
Do you know my name?

00:40:02.066 --> 00:40:05.612 align:center
You think I don't know
my own husband's name?

00:40:06.237 --> 00:40:07.322 align:center
You've never used it.

00:40:07.822 --> 00:40:09.282 align:center
That's because royals…

00:40:09.824 --> 00:40:10.825 align:center
Exactly.

00:40:12.452 --> 00:40:13.453 align:center
So…

00:40:14.954 --> 00:40:17.707 align:center
if it passes, I want you to call me…

00:40:19.125 --> 00:40:20.126 align:center
by my name.

00:40:23.671 --> 00:40:24.672 align:center
I will.

00:40:54.869 --> 00:40:56.037 align:center
It's the weekend.

00:40:58.373 --> 00:41:00.959 align:center
You should go
to the private residence and rest too.

00:41:02.043 --> 00:41:05.755 align:center
Well, I'm most at ease
at the palace.

00:41:11.386 --> 00:41:13.304 align:center
The thought of abolishing the monarchy

00:41:14.305 --> 00:41:15.848 align:center
must make you a little sad.

00:41:17.433 --> 00:41:18.434 align:center
Why?

00:41:21.729 --> 00:41:23.939 align:center
The palace is home to you.

00:41:25.942 --> 00:41:29.278 align:center
Come on. Your family doesn't change
just because you move.

00:41:29.862 --> 00:41:33.700 align:center
I'll still have
His Majesty and Her Majesty.

00:41:36.828 --> 00:41:37.829 align:center
And you

00:41:39.038 --> 00:41:42.166 align:center
will be there as well.

00:41:43.084 --> 00:41:44.085 align:center
Right?

00:41:53.261 --> 00:41:54.720 align:center
Hyeon, you have something here.

00:41:54.721 --> 00:41:55.930 align:center
Come closer.

00:42:05.231 --> 00:42:07.066 align:center
Why? Am I moving too fast? Bad idea?

00:42:11.821 --> 00:42:12.822 align:center
Good idea.

00:42:36.846 --> 00:42:38.931 align:center
Oh, my goodness.

00:42:41.309 --> 00:42:42.852 align:center
That's youth for you.

00:42:44.103 --> 00:42:45.646 align:center
My goodness.

00:42:47.648 --> 00:42:48.733 align:center
Let's go already!

00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:02.121 align:center
So cute.

00:43:12.715 --> 00:43:14.175 align:center
That hurts.

00:43:14.967 --> 00:43:16.052 align:center
How about

00:43:16.844 --> 00:43:17.845 align:center
when spring comes,

00:43:18.971 --> 00:43:20.598 align:center
we go see the cherry blossoms?

00:43:22.892 --> 00:43:23.893 align:center
Sounds good.

00:43:29.649 --> 00:43:30.774 align:center
You're so short.

00:43:30.775 --> 00:43:33.819 align:center
When we go see the cherry blossoms,
I'm going to lift you up

00:43:33.820 --> 00:43:36.863 align:center
and carry you around like this.

00:43:36.864 --> 00:43:38.198 align:center
Just like this.

00:43:53.381 --> 00:43:55.298 align:center
Thus proclaims the King.

00:43:55.299 --> 00:43:57.093 align:center
THUS PROCLAIMS THE KING

00:43:58.177 --> 00:43:59.553 align:center
For many years,

00:43:59.554 --> 00:44:02.390 align:center
this nation has maintained stability
through the Crown.

00:44:04.016 --> 00:44:06.394 align:center
At times, it offered protection.

00:44:07.728 --> 00:44:08.729 align:center
At others,

00:44:09.522 --> 00:44:11.232 align:center
it hindered progress.

00:44:13.568 --> 00:44:18.239 align:center
The people have spoken and have decided
to bear full responsibility themselves.

00:44:19.282 --> 00:44:20.616 align:center
In light of their decision,

00:44:21.117 --> 00:44:22.118 align:center
the Crown

00:44:24.036 --> 00:44:25.830 align:center
can no longer claim justification.

00:44:26.414 --> 00:44:29.124 align:center
By the final authority

00:44:29.125 --> 00:44:31.002 align:center
vested in me by the Constitution,

00:44:32.170 --> 00:44:33.796 align:center
I hereby proclaim the abolition…

00:44:35.798 --> 00:44:36.799 align:center
of the monarchy.

00:44:39.886 --> 00:44:41.095 align:center
The 34th King,

00:44:42.263 --> 00:44:43.347 align:center
Lee Wan.

00:45:29.227 --> 00:45:30.603 align:center
Huiju!

00:45:37.818 --> 00:45:38.819 align:center
Wan!

00:45:42.323 --> 00:45:43.449 align:center
Lee Wan!

00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:12.728 align:center
- Let's go.
- Okay.

00:46:36.252 --> 00:46:40.589 align:center
THREE YEARS LATER

00:46:51.434 --> 00:46:52.518 align:center
Over here!

00:46:58.316 --> 00:46:59.941 align:center
It has been three years

00:46:59.942 --> 00:47:01.818 align:center
since Ms. Seong
left her company for the palace.

00:47:01.819 --> 00:47:04.237 align:center
She has now returned
to the board to resume

00:47:04.238 --> 00:47:06.073 align:center
a frontline management role.

00:47:10.828 --> 00:47:12.620 align:center
Industry insiders believe

00:47:12.621 --> 00:47:16.542 align:center
her return will significantly impact
Castle Group's succession dynamics.

00:47:17.043 --> 00:47:18.418 align:center
As the nation's last queen

00:47:18.419 --> 00:47:21.212 align:center
and a leading figure
in the abolition of the monarchy,

00:47:21.213 --> 00:47:25.800 align:center
there is growing interest in what changes
she will bring to Castle Group.

00:47:25.801 --> 00:47:27.177 align:center
CASTLE BEAUTY CEO SEONG HUIJU

00:47:27.178 --> 00:47:28.596 align:center
How have you been?

00:47:33.142 --> 00:47:34.310 align:center
I missed you so much.

00:47:34.935 --> 00:47:36.103 align:center
Are you really that happy?

00:47:41.192 --> 00:47:42.193 align:center
Move.

00:47:50.618 --> 00:47:52.286 align:center
It has been far too long.

00:47:56.582 --> 00:47:59.877 align:center
Let's just say you've been on sabbatical.

00:48:00.378 --> 00:48:02.837 align:center
Don't you think I work too hard
abolishing the monarchy

00:48:02.838 --> 00:48:03.964 align:center
for it to count as one?

00:48:06.717 --> 00:48:07.802 align:center
What? Hold on.

00:48:08.552 --> 00:48:09.553 align:center
What is all this?

00:48:10.054 --> 00:48:12.472 align:center
Senior Managing Director
Seong's projects.

00:48:12.473 --> 00:48:14.391 align:center
You asked me to organize
all related files.

00:48:14.392 --> 00:48:15.643 align:center
Why are there so many?

00:48:16.227 --> 00:48:17.770 align:center
He worked on a ton of projects.

00:48:21.982 --> 00:48:23.109 align:center
What in the world?

00:48:25.653 --> 00:48:27.070 align:center
ADVERTISEMENT MODEL, SEONG TAEJU

00:48:27.071 --> 00:48:29.031 align:center
He made himself the face of the brand?

00:48:29.573 --> 00:48:32.701 align:center
Who in their right mind would buy this?

00:48:36.038 --> 00:48:37.832 align:center
- Hello, sir.
- Hi, Ms. Do.

00:48:38.582 --> 00:48:40.041 align:center
- Taeju.
- Yes?

00:48:40.042 --> 00:48:43.795 align:center
I'm currently reviewing
your project proposals, you see.

00:48:43.796 --> 00:48:46.047 align:center
- This is…
- No need to thank me.

00:48:46.048 --> 00:48:48.383 align:center
Can you just do me a favor?

00:48:48.384 --> 00:48:51.010 align:center
You're going to ask
for a favor too?

00:48:51.011 --> 00:48:53.681 align:center
I need you to manage Castle Card as well.

00:48:56.225 --> 00:48:57.226 align:center
What?

00:48:59.311 --> 00:49:01.897 align:center
Then, what will you be doing?

00:49:03.065 --> 00:49:04.941 align:center
Did Father ask you to go to Electronics?

00:49:04.942 --> 00:49:07.862 align:center
Don't kid yourself.
He's not retiring anytime soon.

00:49:10.698 --> 00:49:11.699 align:center
Then why?

00:49:13.534 --> 00:49:15.369 align:center
How do I say this?

00:49:16.370 --> 00:49:17.371 align:center
Listen.

00:49:17.913 --> 00:49:19.290 align:center
My Dayeong is pregnant.

00:49:21.584 --> 00:49:22.585 align:center
What?

00:49:23.294 --> 00:49:25.463 align:center
You're going to be an aunt, kid.

00:49:26.213 --> 00:49:28.299 align:center
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

00:49:29.008 --> 00:49:30.091 align:center
So?

00:49:30.092 --> 00:49:32.552 align:center
What do you mean?
I need to go on paternity leave.

00:49:32.553 --> 00:49:34.472 align:center
She can't do all that by herself.

00:49:39.143 --> 00:49:41.728 align:center
Have you lost your freaking mind?

00:49:41.729 --> 00:49:43.813 align:center
- Get back here!
- I'll take that as a yes!

00:49:43.814 --> 00:49:45.274 align:center
Thanks, I appreciate it!

00:49:57.077 --> 00:49:58.786 align:center
You should just give up on cooking.

00:49:58.787 --> 00:50:00.455 align:center
Clearly, this isn't your strong suit.

00:50:00.456 --> 00:50:02.708 align:center
Hey, like you were so great
from the start?

00:50:03.292 --> 00:50:04.667 align:center
Yes, I was actually.

00:50:04.668 --> 00:50:05.669 align:center
Really?

00:50:10.341 --> 00:50:11.342 align:center
By the way,

00:50:12.635 --> 00:50:14.428 align:center
when are you planning to go back to work?

00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:19.891 align:center
I mean, you set up a whole foundation
after sorting out the royal assets.

00:50:19.892 --> 00:50:22.019 align:center
Are you just never going to
show up for work?

00:50:23.312 --> 00:50:24.605 align:center
I just need a little longer.

00:50:26.357 --> 00:50:27.942 align:center
I used to work day and night.

00:50:28.776 --> 00:50:30.319 align:center
I can take a bit more time off.

00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:33.447 align:center
I can review the key documents from home.

00:50:34.823 --> 00:50:35.866 align:center
But you know,

00:50:36.617 --> 00:50:39.203 align:center
most women aren't into guys
who don't have a job.

00:50:40.120 --> 00:50:41.788 align:center
- Really?
- Of course.

00:50:41.789 --> 00:50:44.332 align:center
I mean, look at how hard your wife
is working at her job.

00:50:44.333 --> 00:50:45.334 align:center
While you…

00:50:46.794 --> 00:50:49.713 align:center
If you just bum around the house all day,
it's not a good look.

00:50:50.256 --> 00:50:52.507 align:center
Hey, I'm not "bumming around."

00:50:52.508 --> 00:50:53.591 align:center
I'm resting.

00:50:53.592 --> 00:50:55.719 align:center
That's the same difference… sir.

00:50:56.595 --> 00:50:58.596 align:center
Why, you…

00:50:58.597 --> 00:50:59.974 align:center
Unbelievable.

00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:04.520 align:center
Hey, Huiju.

00:51:05.145 --> 00:51:06.647 align:center
I'm cooking dinner.

00:51:07.940 --> 00:51:09.191 align:center
Are you on your way home?

00:51:10.067 --> 00:51:12.778 align:center
I don't think I can join you
for dinner today.

00:51:13.737 --> 00:51:15.781 align:center
Why not? Did something happen?

00:51:16.407 --> 00:51:18.075 align:center
No, it's nothing like that.

00:51:19.660 --> 00:51:21.536 align:center
I actually have another call coming in.

00:51:21.537 --> 00:51:23.913 align:center
Ms. Do won't be able to join you either.

00:51:23.914 --> 00:51:25.290 align:center
You two should eat without us.

00:51:25.291 --> 00:51:26.292 align:center
I have to go now.

00:51:26.875 --> 00:51:28.167 align:center
Wait. Hold on, babe.

00:51:28.168 --> 00:51:29.460 align:center
You're telling me this now?

00:51:29.461 --> 00:51:30.629 align:center
Hello? Babe?

00:51:32.172 --> 00:51:35.258 align:center
Why? Is she too busy for you?

00:51:35.259 --> 00:51:37.177 align:center
Yeah. Ms. Do also can't make it.

00:51:41.181 --> 00:51:42.850 align:center
I didn't see her yesterday either.

00:51:44.268 --> 00:51:45.269 align:center
I didn't either.

00:51:52.318 --> 00:51:53.401 align:center
Hello there.

00:51:53.402 --> 00:51:55.403 align:center
I worked hard on that dinner.

00:51:55.404 --> 00:51:56.488 align:center
Why are we eating out?

00:51:57.072 --> 00:51:58.448 align:center
Wan, check your conscience.

00:51:58.449 --> 00:52:00.158 align:center
Who'd eat that? You want diabetes?

00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:02.201 align:center
- Why you little…
- Do you want to try that?

00:52:02.202 --> 00:52:03.287 align:center
- That one?
- Yeah.

00:52:07.541 --> 00:52:08.792 align:center
Mmm.

00:52:19.887 --> 00:52:21.262 align:center
What's with that face?

00:52:21.263 --> 00:52:22.347 align:center
What?

00:52:22.348 --> 00:52:24.641 align:center
It's nothing. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

00:52:24.642 --> 00:52:25.643 align:center
Is it tasty?

00:52:26.477 --> 00:52:27.602 align:center
It is.

00:52:28.771 --> 00:52:29.897 align:center
Hold on a second.

00:52:30.648 --> 00:52:32.190 align:center
That's new.

00:52:32.191 --> 00:52:34.025 align:center
It's nothing. Hyejeong kept saying

00:52:34.026 --> 00:52:36.736 align:center
she wanted this
to celebrate our third anniversary.

00:52:36.737 --> 00:52:38.155 align:center
You like it?

00:52:39.198 --> 00:52:40.406 align:center
It's not bad.

00:52:40.407 --> 00:52:42.993 align:center
- Wait, your third anniversary?
- Yeah.

00:52:44.453 --> 00:52:46.120 align:center
You guys should be hitting it soon.

00:52:46.121 --> 00:52:47.455 align:center
No, we're past that.

00:52:47.456 --> 00:52:48.499 align:center
When did you two start?

00:52:49.625 --> 00:52:50.917 align:center
Start?

00:52:50.918 --> 00:52:53.336 align:center
Come on. You know it was
all fake in the beginning.

00:52:53.337 --> 00:52:54.588 align:center
Watch it!

00:52:58.634 --> 00:53:00.009 align:center
It wasn't all fake.

00:53:00.010 --> 00:53:01.762 align:center
It wasn't all real, either.

00:53:06.600 --> 00:53:08.227 align:center
Maybe you can redo the proposal?

00:53:08.769 --> 00:53:09.770 align:center
Pro…

00:53:10.646 --> 00:53:12.522 align:center
- Proposal?
- Yeah.

00:53:12.523 --> 00:53:14.817 align:center
You don't even have
a wedding band.

00:53:20.656 --> 00:53:22.157 align:center
Proposal…

00:53:24.451 --> 00:53:26.411 align:center
Hello, Court Lady Choi. I mean, Jinsook.

00:53:26.412 --> 00:53:27.413 align:center
I'm listening.

00:53:29.373 --> 00:53:30.374 align:center
Wait, where are you?

00:53:36.505 --> 00:53:37.631 align:center
Come in.

00:53:43.929 --> 00:53:44.930 align:center
Father?

00:53:51.270 --> 00:53:52.813 align:center
I spoke with Taeju.

00:53:54.773 --> 00:53:56.024 align:center
Just prove yourself.

00:53:58.569 --> 00:54:00.696 align:center
I'll make sure the cards

00:54:01.447 --> 00:54:02.656 align:center
aren't stacked against you.

00:54:23.343 --> 00:54:24.344 align:center
Huiju.

00:54:27.723 --> 00:54:29.683 align:center
I never wanted you to lose.

00:54:31.185 --> 00:54:33.771 align:center
I just wanted you
to stop fighting everyone.

00:54:39.735 --> 00:54:40.736 align:center
Now…

00:54:42.905 --> 00:54:44.281 align:center
I won't stop you.

00:55:22.486 --> 00:55:23.737 align:center
Why would you

00:55:24.446 --> 00:55:25.613 align:center
gift us a bed?

00:55:27.366 --> 00:55:28.367 align:center
Just come.

00:55:29.451 --> 00:55:32.621 align:center
- Try sitting on it, Your Majesty.
- Stop calling me that already.

00:55:37.626 --> 00:55:38.627 align:center
Here we go.

00:55:41.129 --> 00:55:42.130 align:center
A bed…

00:55:43.465 --> 00:55:45.592 align:center
It's quite soft.

00:55:49.096 --> 00:55:50.389 align:center
- Oh. Ooh.
- Ooh.

00:55:54.977 --> 00:55:56.395 align:center
Is it not comfortable?

00:55:58.397 --> 00:55:59.564 align:center
It is.

00:55:59.565 --> 00:56:01.816 align:center
I hear it will help you sleep very well.

00:56:01.817 --> 00:56:03.277 align:center
He sleeps fine now.

00:56:06.530 --> 00:56:08.991 align:center
It has been over three years
since your marriage,

00:56:09.700 --> 00:56:11.826 align:center
but there is still no news of an heir.

00:56:14.037 --> 00:56:17.665 align:center
I was hoping a precious bed
could lead to some precious news.

00:56:19.418 --> 00:56:20.543 align:center
Precious news.

00:56:20.544 --> 00:56:23.337 align:center
There will never be precious news.
They're both DINKs.

00:56:23.338 --> 00:56:25.464 align:center
- Choi Hyeon!
- DINK?

00:56:25.465 --> 00:56:28.843 align:center
Well, Huiju just started working again.

00:56:28.844 --> 00:56:29.927 align:center
And I…

00:56:29.928 --> 00:56:32.096 align:center
Is there something wrong with His Majesty?

00:56:32.097 --> 00:56:33.390 align:center
I said, I'm not a majesty!

00:56:34.641 --> 00:56:35.642 align:center
Follow me.

00:56:36.143 --> 00:56:37.978 align:center
No, wait… And also!

00:56:39.062 --> 00:56:40.397 align:center
I'm in tip-top shape!

00:56:54.911 --> 00:56:56.955 align:center
Oh, my gosh!

00:56:57.831 --> 00:56:59.041 align:center
You scared me.

00:57:00.584 --> 00:57:02.043 align:center
Why aren't you sleeping?

00:57:02.044 --> 00:57:03.545 align:center
My wife wasn't home.

00:57:04.171 --> 00:57:06.714 align:center
How could I, as your husband, just sleep?

00:57:08.842 --> 00:57:10.593 align:center
Sorry. You can go to bed now.

00:57:10.594 --> 00:57:11.637 align:center
Hold on.

00:57:14.181 --> 00:57:15.307 align:center
Did you need something?

00:57:16.516 --> 00:57:17.643 align:center
No, I…

00:57:19.853 --> 00:57:22.189 align:center
Seong Taeju told me
he's going to take some time off.

00:57:23.190 --> 00:57:24.566 align:center
I might be a bit busier now.

00:57:25.525 --> 00:57:26.609 align:center
All of a sudden? Why?

00:57:26.610 --> 00:57:28.362 align:center
He said Dayeong is pregnant.

00:57:29.196 --> 00:57:30.404 align:center
What?

00:57:30.405 --> 00:57:35.242 align:center
You know how professional executives
in this country are a dime a dozen?

00:57:35.243 --> 00:57:37.870 align:center
But he just had to…

00:57:37.871 --> 00:57:40.665 align:center
He just had to pick me

00:57:40.666 --> 00:57:42.917 align:center
and ask me to take over.

00:57:42.918 --> 00:57:45.587 align:center
Brother? More like a pain in the ass.

00:57:48.006 --> 00:57:49.007 align:center
You seem excited.

00:57:51.385 --> 00:57:55.013 align:center
Castle Card has
all the cash in Castle Group.

00:57:57.974 --> 00:57:58.975 align:center
I'm going to wash up.

00:58:24.084 --> 00:58:25.085 align:center
Should I get one?

00:58:26.420 --> 00:58:27.421 align:center
What?

00:58:29.548 --> 00:58:30.590 align:center
A ring.

00:58:31.842 --> 00:58:33.677 align:center
What ring?

00:58:34.511 --> 00:58:35.512 align:center
You know…

00:58:36.805 --> 00:58:38.265 align:center
Most husbands

00:58:39.015 --> 00:58:41.017 align:center
wear a wedding band.

00:58:41.643 --> 00:58:42.644 align:center
Well…

00:58:45.272 --> 00:58:46.605 align:center
Why bother?

00:58:46.606 --> 00:58:47.941 align:center
What?

00:58:51.778 --> 00:58:53.029 align:center
Why bother?

00:58:55.866 --> 00:58:56.867 align:center
Seong Huiju.

00:58:59.619 --> 00:59:00.620 align:center
Huiju.

00:59:02.998 --> 00:59:04.290 align:center
Babe.

00:59:04.291 --> 00:59:05.833 align:center
Ms. Seong. Ms. Junior Alum.

00:59:05.834 --> 00:59:07.377 align:center
Hello?

00:59:07.961 --> 00:59:08.962 align:center
Seong…

00:59:12.632 --> 00:59:13.633 align:center
You're asleep.

00:59:24.811 --> 00:59:26.563 align:center
He was fussing over the cello last time.

00:59:27.355 --> 00:59:29.024 align:center
Now, it's the violin?

00:59:29.941 --> 00:59:32.485 align:center
He doesn't like the piano or the cello.

00:59:32.486 --> 00:59:33.987 align:center
Can't seem to find what he likes.

00:59:35.530 --> 00:59:36.782 align:center
Maybe he doesn't like music?

00:59:38.700 --> 00:59:41.619 align:center
My Yun will become a musician.

00:59:41.620 --> 00:59:42.870 align:center
Don't say such things.

00:59:44.581 --> 00:59:46.290 align:center
You know it's not that easy.

00:59:50.837 --> 00:59:52.255 align:center
Let me buy this one for him.

00:59:52.881 --> 00:59:54.800 align:center
Tell him it's a gift from his uncle.

00:59:55.926 --> 00:59:57.969 align:center
Then, please buy this one for him.

00:59:58.720 --> 01:00:00.514 align:center
- We'll take this one.
- This one?

01:00:02.140 --> 01:00:04.934 align:center
Hold on… How much is it?

01:00:04.935 --> 01:00:06.311 align:center
I'll ring it right up for you.

01:00:07.145 --> 01:00:08.730 align:center
Thanks.

01:00:10.398 --> 01:00:12.149 align:center
DREAM INSTRUMENTS

01:00:12.150 --> 01:00:14.569 align:center
We can have dinner together
when Yun gets out of school.

01:00:16.029 --> 01:00:18.031 align:center
No. He has to go to his math academy.

01:00:19.574 --> 01:00:21.201 align:center
He attends an academy too?

01:00:23.954 --> 01:00:26.122 align:center
Right, as he should.

01:00:27.624 --> 01:00:30.168 align:center
He should. He's almost out
of elementary school now.

01:00:40.512 --> 01:00:42.138 align:center
Get back safely, Wan.

01:00:43.098 --> 01:00:45.183 align:center
Thanks. You too, Irang.

01:01:04.953 --> 01:01:07.204 align:center
HYEON'S GARDEN

01:01:07.205 --> 01:01:11.166 align:center
So, you're going to propose
to her again?

01:01:11.167 --> 01:01:13.879 align:center
You made a good point last time.

01:01:15.881 --> 01:01:17.256 align:center
I see.

01:01:17.257 --> 01:01:19.301 align:center
We could get new rings.

01:01:19.926 --> 01:01:21.760 align:center
A fresh proposal would be nice too.

01:01:21.761 --> 01:01:23.221 align:center
Huiju. Behind you.

01:01:23.763 --> 01:01:24.764 align:center
What?

01:01:40.864 --> 01:01:41.865 align:center
Did you hear that?

01:01:51.583 --> 01:01:54.586 align:center
Did you bring up the ring last night
because of the proposal?

01:01:58.173 --> 01:02:00.382 align:center
I mean, you know. It was more like…

01:02:00.383 --> 01:02:04.387 align:center
For a second there,
I thought you were suddenly into jewelry.

01:02:06.514 --> 01:02:08.475 align:center
You don't want to wear a wedding dress?

01:02:09.851 --> 01:02:10.852 align:center
Why bother?

01:02:13.355 --> 01:02:14.356 align:center
You know,

01:02:14.940 --> 01:02:16.941 align:center
you've been saying that a lot recently.

01:02:16.942 --> 01:02:19.151 align:center
But to say "why bother" about our wedding?

01:02:19.152 --> 01:02:20.570 align:center
There's no room for "why bother"s!

01:02:21.196 --> 01:02:24.031 align:center
But we already did all that.
Why would we do it again?

01:02:24.032 --> 01:02:25.574 align:center
But back then we were…

01:02:25.575 --> 01:02:27.452 align:center
That's when I started
having real feelings.

01:02:28.495 --> 01:02:29.496 align:center
What?

01:02:32.958 --> 01:02:34.501 align:center
I guess it wasn't the same for you.

01:02:39.798 --> 01:02:40.799 align:center
Babe…

01:02:41.716 --> 01:02:43.426 align:center
Hold on. Babe.

01:02:46.262 --> 01:02:48.765 align:center
Wait, you're saying
that's when you started?

01:02:50.266 --> 01:02:51.643 align:center
That late?

01:02:52.727 --> 01:02:55.479 align:center
We kissed and stuff way before then.

01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:56.982 align:center
When did you start?

01:02:58.733 --> 01:02:59.943 align:center
What?

01:03:28.596 --> 01:03:30.765 align:center
When did you start
having real feelings for me?

01:03:36.438 --> 01:03:37.439 align:center
From the start.

01:03:39.733 --> 01:03:40.734 align:center
You didn't know?

01:03:42.527 --> 01:03:44.446 align:center
I started liking you way back when.

01:03:45.405 --> 01:03:46.406 align:center
Way back when?

01:03:47.365 --> 01:03:49.951 align:center
Exactly how long ago is way back when?

01:03:50.827 --> 01:03:53.705 align:center
When you first told me your name.

01:03:54.706 --> 01:03:55.832 align:center
Who goes there?

01:03:59.169 --> 01:04:00.462 align:center
Your name.

01:04:01.546 --> 01:04:02.964 align:center
It is Seong Huiju.

01:04:05.800 --> 01:04:08.303 align:center
Back at that archery range?

01:04:11.347 --> 01:04:13.141 align:center
You were like a bright ember in the dark.

01:04:14.517 --> 01:04:15.685 align:center
I wanted to run after you.

01:04:17.645 --> 01:04:18.980 align:center
Since you were so popular,

01:04:19.981 --> 01:04:22.067 align:center
I kept hearing about you at school

01:04:23.109 --> 01:04:24.444 align:center
and even after graduation.

01:04:25.403 --> 01:04:27.906 align:center
I thought we'd run
into each other eventually,

01:04:29.449 --> 01:04:30.742 align:center
but it never happened.

01:04:31.409 --> 01:04:33.787 align:center
- Then, I saw you at…
- The Royal Birthday Banquet.

01:04:46.174 --> 01:04:48.551 align:center
You were just as bright an ember
that day.

01:04:51.888 --> 01:04:52.889 align:center
So you ran after me?

01:05:09.114 --> 01:05:10.115 align:center
Yeah.

01:05:11.116 --> 01:05:13.868 align:center
As fast as I could
because I was afraid of losing you.

01:05:30.135 --> 01:05:32.387 align:center
THE CROWN'S FINAL DUTY

01:06:29.152 --> 01:06:31.154 align:center
It was not mine when I wanted it.

01:06:33.031 --> 01:06:34.365 align:center
It was mine…

01:06:36.409 --> 01:06:37.492 align:center
when I did not want it.

01:06:40.330 --> 01:06:41.539 align:center
But in the end,

01:06:42.749 --> 01:06:44.000 align:center
it was my choice.

01:06:58.973 --> 01:06:59.974 align:center
I feel relieved.

01:07:17.283 --> 01:07:18.326 align:center
Babe!

01:07:20.745 --> 01:07:21.995 align:center
Sorry!

01:07:21.996 --> 01:07:24.999 align:center
I'm sorry. Work took forever.

01:07:25.625 --> 01:07:28.503 align:center
Are you done with the exhibit?
We can look at it some more.

01:07:30.713 --> 01:07:31.923 align:center
No, it's fine.

01:07:33.675 --> 01:07:34.926 align:center
Let's go.

01:07:35.510 --> 01:07:36.761 align:center
Let's go.

01:07:50.984 --> 01:07:53.652 align:center
I'm going to eat this
in one bite.

01:07:53.653 --> 01:07:55.196 align:center
Wan, over here!

01:07:56.531 --> 01:07:58.073 align:center
Hurry up.

01:07:58.074 --> 01:07:59.075 align:center
Ms. Seong!

01:08:00.368 --> 01:08:01.369 align:center
Hmm.

01:08:03.121 --> 01:08:04.122 align:center
Let's wear them too.

01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:07.166 align:center
The jersey? You want to wear one?

01:08:07.750 --> 01:08:09.377 align:center
Yeah. I like jerseys.

01:08:12.005 --> 01:08:13.130 align:center
Let's go.

01:08:13.131 --> 01:08:14.756 align:center
- Hi!
- Let's go.

01:08:14.757 --> 01:08:17.176 align:center
Huh? Okay, let's go.

01:08:18.344 --> 01:08:19.469 align:center
ALL SEATS SOLD OUT

01:08:20.555 --> 01:08:21.597 align:center
It's starting.

01:08:24.767 --> 01:08:26.101 align:center
- I have one too.
- Like this?

01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:33.276 align:center
Castle Sharks! Yeah!

01:08:37.238 --> 01:08:38.363 align:center
Let's go!

01:08:41.784 --> 01:08:43.243 align:center
Are you kidding me right now?

01:08:43.244 --> 01:08:44.786 align:center
You must be joking!

01:08:44.787 --> 01:08:50.335 align:center
Shark attack! Let's go, Castle Sharks!

01:08:58.426 --> 01:08:59.552 align:center
Why am I not getting any?

01:09:00.261 --> 01:09:02.512 align:center
- What the…
- What?

01:09:02.513 --> 01:09:04.349 align:center
That's us!

01:09:04.849 --> 01:09:06.434 align:center
Us? Let's do it.

01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:13.940 align:center
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

01:09:13.941 --> 01:09:16.277 align:center
- Kiss!
- Kiss!

01:09:16.861 --> 01:09:17.862 align:center
Sorry.

01:09:19.655 --> 01:09:20.823 align:center
Should we speed things up?

01:09:24.243 --> 01:09:25.912 align:center
We don't need to maintain decorum now?

01:09:26.496 --> 01:09:28.289 align:center
Yeah. No more decorum.

01:09:54.023 --> 01:09:58.277 align:center
One more time!
One more time!

01:09:59.529 --> 01:10:01.571 align:center
- One more time!
- One more time!

01:10:02.657 --> 01:10:05.576 align:center
