Why don't you take a seat?
Co-Producer Danny PARK
Master told me
to be courteous.
There's something
we need to sort out.
Sort out?
The issue of how you should
address the master.
Don't worry.
I may be of a higher class but
I wouldn't use the plain
form with Mr. YI.
But nonetheless
I want you to know
my master's plainly spoken.
I see.

I made you come all this way
because I want this soup.
- Sorry.
- Not at all.
After you try it,
you'll say
it's worth the trip.
Yes, sir.
I asked you to come
because I'm not sure I'd make
a good subject for a novel
What are you saying?
I was so excited
I couldn't sleep last night
You're the town's most
glamorous gangster...
Me and my mouth.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that
You're right,
I am a gangster
And
you're at the top
ofthe beach reading heap
Beach reading?
I'm not sure if I'm the best
Anyway,
thanks for choosing me
Any writer
would want to write
about you
What did you do before?
I used to be a servant.
A servant!
I went from here to there
until I was 30
and I became
an aristocrat's servant.
I shared a room
with a houseguest, Mr. MA.
You're the new maid?
Enjoying your life here?
Yes, why do you ask?
That's not the way.
We should look each other
in the eye when we talk.
People told me to be careful
when you're around.
All gossip and rumors.
It's hot!
How silly!
This is fun.
Can I come again?
Sorry? Yes...
Dear me!
She was talking to me but
her eyes were on you.
Sorry? Oh...
It's hot!
What are you doing?
So hot!
So, what's Mong like?
It's only been a few days
so I don't know.
He's nice to me.
Nice?
He's given me clothes.
Mong...
I've known him
since he was a kid
but still can't
figure him out.
It wasn't a grand job
but I wanted to do my best.
It must be tough
waiting around for me.
Not at all, master.
Then, I saw her.
The scent offlowers
is all around
From this peak to
that peak All around
Butterflies
follow the scent
Do you work here?
Yeah,
why do you ask?
Who is she?
She's the owner's daughter,
Her name's Chun-hyang.
I'm Hyang-dan.
Butterfly,
drunk by the scent,
don't sit on the petals
For scented flowers
uphold their fidelity
Don't come sit
on my petals
Bang-ja!
Go arrange a meeting.
Hurry!
You can't follow me in here!
My master wants a word
with you.
Who's your master?
He's the one that
got up earlier.
The most handsome guy there.
Handsome?
Stop talking rubbish
and get out!
You could just have a word
with him.
I was wondering
where you'd gone.
What are you doing here?
I was telling her
about you, master.
Such a grave indiscretion.
I was a bit scared
but it's alright.
You didn't have to hit him.
I've been too kind to him.
I'd like to invite you to tea
to apologize properly.
What are you doing?
Chun-hyang, I'm dying
waiting for you.
I said no.
But you sang
for the aristocrats.
You have to play fair.
Hey, you!
I don't know what it's about
but the lady said 'no.'
Young master,
let me greet you.
I'm Gwang of Tavern Street.
Nice to meet you.
Looks like you're
all fired up.
But time to go home now.
Don't do that...
You can't order me around.
You cant order me around
You're enraging this lowly
nothing of a guy.
Go home, now!
Who the hell are you?
I'm his servant.
You servant!
I'm alright, stand back.
Where are you?
Boss
Chun-hyang...
That was a big mistake.
You shouldn't have done that.
What was I supposed to do?
You robbed Mong the chance
to show off.
And he hit you.
Don't you have any pride?
But I'm his servant.
Was that the only reason?
I guess.
This is making me angry.
What shall I do?
Of course, you'll have to
get her word on this.
What?
How can I do that?
Let's deal
with Hyang-dan first.
Sorry?
I never teach
this to anyone. Never.
Oh, please.
You're in a tight spot
so I want to help.
Tell her what needs
to be done.
Walk back and forth
in front of her.
That'll get her confused
and irritated.
Don't take any notice
and focus on
what you need to say
and then
Then, just casually like this
Grab hold of her right here.
What? Grab her there?
Not too fast, not too slow.
Like this.
She's not going to
let me do that!
She'll get away.
Get away?
Of course.
Try again and see
if you can get away.
You're walking
and she's talking.
And grab!
You can't get away.
He's a weird servant.
Other servants
don't get involved.
Very brave!
What if his master's
lost his nerve?
He's caught the bait.
He'll come back.
You'll see.
A servant has come
from Lord YI's.
Who told you to
make a decision?
Just pass on the message.
He wants to see her tomorrow
by the waterfall.
My mistress doesn't
go out with men.
She's not like that.
I don't care what she's like.
Just pass on the message.
There's no point
in passing it on.
You're so stubborn!
What a lovely view.
Why this sudden talk
ofthe view?
Grab!
Let's try to get along,
shall we?
What did he say?
His master wants to meet her
And then?
Answer me.
So I said 'yes'.
What?
What was I supposed to do?
What do nobles talk
about on a date?
Maybe the same things we do.
Aren't they hungry,
smelling this?
They're not like us.
They hide their feelings.
Not shoving it down the throat
even if you're starving
That's what being
an aristocrat is about.
You're a bit
like one yourself.
Stop talking
and focus on the meat.
You're a good cook.
What an odd thing
for a guy to be good at.
You seemed so strong
at the fight the other day
but now your hands
seem so gentle.
Come to think of it,
you are really good
with the barbecue.
Did you learn this
from Mr. MA?
Who's Mr. MA?
A lecherous houseguest.
He taught Bang-ja
some naughty
skills that he used on her.
I scolded him for that.
I see...
Isn't it hot?
I learnt to take the heat
from Mr. MA.
I put you into a mood,
you silly boy.
Oh, no! Are you okay?
Are you okay?
What happened?
Stay still.
You've sprained your ankle.
Stay still.
Oh, dear!
Let her rest her ankle.
Be quiet, you!
Let her rest her foot.
Fortunately,
It's not so swollen.
Is there a stone
to put it up on?
- Oh, Mistress...!
- Bang-ja, come on!
One moment
Your master is weird.
He wants me to be
carried by a servant.
I know.
My clothes are damp
from your wet clothes.
You can walk if you want.
Why are you using
such plain language?
You're not a noble.
I show you respect
when my master is there
but I'm older than yo
Am I heavy?
As light as a feather.
You're good at everything.
Like what?
Fighting, swimming
and barbecuing meat.
You never got the chance
to try the meat.
I didn't need to.
I could tell from the smell.
Must have been
a lovelyjourney.
It's snowing.
You run a rice shop?
It's not my main line ofwork.
Times are tough and
this is no exception.
We're just getting by.
Sorry for interrupting but,
if I were the master,
I'd have carried her myself.
That's the manly thing to do
even if you collapse halfway.
Right?
You don't know anything.
It's called
playing hard to get.
She expected me to carry her
but I didn't.
She gets confused
and falls for me hard.
I see.
My skills are at a different level
to your common ones.
Where did you learn
these skills?
From reading the analects
of Confucious and Mencius.
And also my rival
was only you.
Only me?
You're not really a rival
for me, are you?
Mr. MA.
Yeah?
Where did you learn
those skills?
What, of cutting up
an octopus?
No, the skill you taught me
the other day.
From Mr. JANG.
Mr. JANG?
A playboy from Jeolla
who slept with thousand women.
20 thousand?
You think it's a lie?
He must have been
really handsome.
You don't get women
with your looks.
With money, then?
Silly boy.
He knew how to read
women's minds.
He taught me
the skills to do that.
What's wrong with you?
I don't take on anyone
as a disciple.
Is this for Chun-hyang?
You want her?
I want her so badly.
He might be an noble
but it's so unfair.
Don't think I've made you
a proper disciple.
But since the situation
is urgent,
I'll give you a crash course.
First, sit side by side
like this.
This is the basic position.
Those that sit up like this,
they know nothings.
And then you
lie down like this.
You don't make her lie down?
Stop talking and
try to get me to lie down.
Okay.
It's been a long walk here.
Shall we lie down and talk?
See? Not easy to get her
to lie down.
I see.
But even though
I lie down....
Sit down
This feels nice.
And you lie down like and
stop talking. And, then...
Where do I touch?
You don't touch anything.
Put your shoulder here.
You stare
at her shoulder like this.
At her shoulder?
With all your heart.
Like this.
What?
Thought you
were staring at me.
I wasn't staring at you.
You weren't?
And the final trick
is sneezing
Think I'm coming down
with a cold.
You seem happy.
Are we having chicken
for dinner?
Wasn't sure
if I should tell you
but Chun-hyang wrote to Mong.
She did?
Her servant?
Yes...
I took the letter from her.
It's hot so I won't
be dressed properly
but if you don't mind me
in flimsy clothing,
I'd like to invite you
to my humble abode.
It's so hot as I write that
I want to tear off my clothes.
This doesn't seem right.
How could she write
such a letter...
It's called an SGTH letter.
An SGTH letter?
A letter that Slowly
Gets Them Horny.
Someone else is behind this.
SGTH letters are perfect
for cold bastards.
Once he reads it
he'll come running.
Then you can drive him crazy.
And me?
Should I sleep with Bang-ja?
That's up to you.
I see.
Best not to sleep with him.
No woman has ever been abandoned
for not putting out easily.
Go make some fruit salad.
Yes.
Something happened between
you and Bang-ja, right?
What do you mean?
Don't fool around
and tell me.
He was just looking at me
but I felt
all weird and weak.
So you did it?
Mom. I'm just saying
that's how I felt.
He just looked at you?
He lied down and kept staring
at my shoulder from behind.
It can't be...
He can't know the
'staring from behind' technique.
How could a mere servant...
What's 'staring from behind?'
It can't be.
What are you talking about?
You said
you're in flimsy clothes
but you're properly dressed.
The day has turned cool.
It was truly amazing.
She was in pain
when she bled but
soon she was
screaming forjoy.
I can still hear her.
I shouldn't tell
a servant this.
Let's go.
What's wrong, master?
My stomach!
He never got
to sleep with her.
Sorry?
He was horny the whole night,
but couldn't have sex.
He was full of semen and
hence the tummy ache.
I knew it! He lied to me.
She's not that easy.
What shall I do now?
We have to get there
and take her first.
'We'?
I mean you.
Hurry up!
You...
What are you doing here?
How dare you? Leave!
I just have to...
Hold on...
Let go!
Just listen to me...
I'm going to scream!
Please...
I'm really going to scream.
If you do,
I'll be beaten to death
because of my low status.
Why are you shivering?
Because I'm scared.
Then why did you come in?
I didn't know
how scared I'd be.
Mr. MA didn't teach you
a new skill today?
He did but I can't remember.
What was it?
He told me to look at you.
Then put my lips
on your cheek
and ask if I can kiss you.
What are you doing?
Then, hold you and
ask you if I could hold you
Then, touch you and
ask if I could touch you.
What are you doing?
I'm going to scream,
seriously!
Can I undress you?
Im going to scream!
You don't want this?
I'm going to scream!
He told me to ask
if I can undress you and...
We can't do this.
Why not?
We're the same rank.
Nothing will change for us.
You're illiterate.
Shouldn't put your
hand stamp on any docume
It's alright.
You don't even know
what you signed.
What a great story.
You beat the son
of an illustrious family.
Tell me more
about the hand stamp.
After we slept together
She told me that
she has to marry Mong
She made me sign a document
promising to help her
in her mission.
Help her in what?
I was to bring
my master to her again.
What?
I persuaded him to go to her
and they went
into the room at once!
Don't you ever sleep?
Servants don't sleep.
What's that noise?
I saw them through a gap
in the door.
They were doing it standing
Standing up?
Is that possible?
Why are you shocked?
He's an aristocrat.
What are you doing?
Are you just
going to keep drinking?
What do you care?
You're sorry
about the noise?
I didn't hear a thing.
I was deep asleep.
My mom told me to do it.
She said men get excited
by the sound of moaning.
That's not true.
Think what you like.
This is really tough for me.
I have to have you,
just to myself!
I have to!
No!
What's the matter?
A long time ago,
I went to a tavern run
by two sisters.
Had a great time
but I ended up
using some of my skills.
And?
There was a big feud
between them over me.
The older one spiked her
sister's food.
She didn't die,
but she went blind.
Know who I'm talking about?
Chun-hyang's mom.
Stop now. She comes from
a long line of dangerous women.
Whatever you tell me,
I can't help it.
I have to have
her all to myself.
What's happening?
I've had my fun.
Now I have to do
some serious studying.
Does she know
you're leaving?
She won't take it lying down
if I tell her.
I'll tell her later.
Out of sight, out of mind,
as they say.
I want you to do something.
I gave her an oath.
Go and get it back.
Did he order you to do that?
What? Yes.
So he's leaving?
He's going to Seoul.
Let's just give it to him.
You nearly got
into big trouble.
That's yours.
This is his.
Hyang-dan tried to trick me.
Are you going with him?
For now, yes.
But I'll come down soon.
It wouldn't have worked
out easily anyway.
I see. I'll be waiting.
I'll be back soon.
Master...
Well done.
Master, I need to...
Okay
I, Bang-ja, having spent
a night with Chun-hyang,
hereby promise to aid Chun-hyang
in her efforts to marry Mong.
That's better.
Shall we go, master?
You can stay here.
Sorry?
Send Chun-geun instead.
What about me...?
Yes, master.
I hope you'll
be healthy, master.
Stop all that, you bastard.
I thought he looked funny
but I didn't care.
I shouldn't in front of
a man of your position
but I'd like to smoke.
Go on.
So, you were left alone
with Chun-hyang at last
but her mom must have
been a hard match.
I wanted him to see you, Sir.
This is Bang-ja who looks
after our affairs.
Nice to meet you, Sir.
I would pour a drink
but my hands are busy.
Let me help.
I heard about you.
You're quite a fighter.
An over-estimation, Sir.
If you press me
with your thumb,
I'll drop dead.
Quite a talker.
So you want to supply to
government offices.
What do you know
about my title?
I come from humble origins
so I'm not sure
but I know there's you
at the top
and some other positions.
This is Bang-ja of Chungpung
that I told you about.
I worked at Chungpung and
her mom turned a blind eye
to our monthly meetings.
I was allowed to work outside
by the main house
in return for bringing them
money every month.
People started calling me
Mr.Yi from then on.
What are you playing at?
You're going
to keep touching me?
Why not?
I want to touch you too.
Those were the good days.
Are you alright?
Are you new?
It's me, Chun-hyang.
Oh dear, my time must be up.
Are you alright?
You look very unwell.
I'll go find some gruel.
What the hell.
But I am sick.
Is she really yours now?
I don't know. Maybe.
I'm not at ease.
Thought you'd be able to relax
being with someone like her?
I think I'm on my way out.
You're fine judging by
what you tried to do earlier.
This reminds me of Mr. JANG.
He masturbated right
before he died.
What? Before he died?
It was a windy night
and he was masturbating.
I was crying next to him.
He came and died.
He died a happy man.
It was stifffor three hours
afterwards.
We almost couldn't
dress the corpse.
The shape and its color
Most of all, the size!
How big was it?
He could suck it himself.
Mong passed the state exam!
He's become
a royal inspector!
Really?
The whole village
is celebrating.
I forgot about some chores.
Got to go.
Come here.
Take this to him.
Hope you get well soon.
Bye.
You the
newly-appointed officials?
Yes.
First,
the royal inspector?
Not me.
Who are you?
The newly-appointed
magistrate for Namwon.
Why didn't
you say that earlier?
Which one
is the royal inspector?
I am.
This has been left blank.
Write down
where you want to go.
I get to choose?
The document
and the royal badge.
This one only
has two horses.
They changed
the regulation for that.
And the ruler?
Where? Must have dropped it
on the way.
You're useless!
What's going on?
What are you playing at?
You've been drinking
and made us wait.
- Let's go.
- Yes, let's.
What?
I've made a big mistake.
Alright.
You have a temper.
We know you look down
on us eunuchs.
That's not true...
You despise us, don't you?
We eunuchs all look
the same to you.
but you're the same.
No personality.
There are so many
royal inspectors these days.
You need a unique personality
and a lofty position.
A unique story
from a special man.
But what would you know
about that?
I'm also from Namwon.
Really?
I look forward to
your guidance from now on.
You seemed
disappointed earlier.
Yes.
I thought 'I did all that
studying just for this?'
I knew it wouldn't
amount to much.
Really?
Then why did you
work so hard?
To be honest,
I did it to bed
as many women as possible.
What?
As a magistrate,
I can sleep with
all the women ofthe town.
I have clear aims.
I'm not interested in
anything else.
Nice and simple.
What will you do?
Search out corrupt officials and
collect praiseworthy stories?
The royal palace loves
those stories.
and they'll hand out titles
for them.
Stories...
A unique story
from a special man.
Do you know many women
in Namwon?
No. Have anyone in mind?
Are you into unique women?
Really unusual?
I love unusual women.
I can't get hard
when they're normal.
What do you mean by 'unique?'
Why are you getting
so many new clothes?
Cos I feel like it.
Is it for Mong?
Bring the rest.
That's not the only reason.
Thought you were
happy with Bang-ja.
I am.
Then what are you doing?
What's up with you?
I'm confused.
Thought you wanted to sell me
to the highest bidder.
That's true
but you two look so happy.
It's a shame.
I laid the trap.
I want to see
if he'll take the bait.
Even if I don't want him.
I'm curious.
We don't have anything else
to give you
but here's a five-horse one.
Isn't this fraud?
Lighten up.
Times have changed.
You have to
keep up your standards.
This place
is doing good business.
Wasn't like this before.
Since the new owner came,
it's been good.
There she is.
They threw me out.
Maybe they got
too self-conscious.
You don't know, right?
Bang-ja and Chun-hyang...
Really? I had no idea.
C'est la vie.
She must have
felt bad for me.
She gave me the seed money.
I gritted my teeth and
worked my ass off.
And, here I am.
You were always clever.
Is it good?
Love it!
Good?
I'm better than Chun-hyang,
aren't I?
She's nothing.
I'm way hotter than her.
I've never slept
with a servant before.
I had many chances
but didn't want
to take advantage of my position.
He was into me first.
What are you saying?
I mean Bang-ja.
He liked me first.
He saw me
and started talking to me.
He asked me,
'Do you work here?'
Why is he so important?
He's only a servant.
He's not important.
I'm just saying
he liked me first.
If I hadn't been
a servant...
You look terrible.
Take a look in the mirror.
Find anyone suitable?
I went round
the whole town but...
You'll meet someone
very unusual soon.
Is Chun-hyang
really that special?
She plays hard to get.
You'll have to scold her
and imprison her.
And she'll only obey
after you draw blood.
Sounds just perfect.
You've come
to the right place.
Thank you.
That's too much.
See you soon.
Is that you? Master?
Your clothes...
Let me greet you properly.
How have you been?
Congratulations
on passing the exam.
Thanks.
Almost didn't recognize you.
It's been a long time.
This place is doing
better than before.
Take your time. I can wait.
Master.
Chun-hyang is unwell
so she can't see you today.
She may be ill
but I'm here after
all these years have passed
Tell her I'm here.
But you did leave her so
it might be better for you
not to see her.
You've grown insolent.
Giving me orders?
What are you doing?
What could I do?
I hope you'll take
my position into account.
Alright.
Just tell her at least.
I'll go if she won't see me.
You didn't take long.
What did he say?
Not much.
Huh?
Not much.
He wants to see me again.
Are you going to help them?
Yes.
Get to work
What's Chun-hyang doing?
Staring into space.
She's not getting ready?
No.
What is she doing?
I told her to get ready.
She's been caught.
A round of applause!
Do this until you're naked!
Take it off.
Let's do it again!
Why aren't you joining us?
Don't mind me.
You must feel awkward here
being from
such a humble background.
I guess so.
I understand but I'm worried
You'll make things
tough for us.
Don't worry about that.
You're shutting yourself
offfrom us clerks.
I'm worried
you're too eager
to do yourjob.
That won't do.
- If you don't
-Right.
know what you're doing
and you're too eager...
I'll discuss everything with you.
- Wait!
- Hey!
I'm glad we have
an understanding.
I feel I can discuss
what's on my mind.
This way.
This is Bang-ja
from Chungpung.
He's useful to know.
I see.
Nice to meet you, Sir.
Really?
I heard the owner's daughter,
Chun-hyang,
that she is a good singer.
I wish to hear her sing.
Is that possible?
I told her to get ready
but she's not well.
There are so many
other girls here.
Alright, you may go now.
Don't get involved.
I really want to hear
her sing.
Just have a drink.
This is
what I meant earlier.
Do you follow me?
I want to see her,
so bring her.
What's the problem?
I'll bring her.
Please don't be angry.
This is a delicate matter.
Don't get involved.
I don't look my best but
here I am at your service.
Good to see you.
You're beautiful,
just as I heard.
Not at all, Sir.
You don't want
to sing for me?
I'd love to but I'm in
no condition to sing.
What?
It's the magistrate's order.
It's alright.
She has a problem today.
Okay.
Sit beside me and
pour me drinks.
She's not someone
who does that kind of...
There must have been
a misunderstanding.
I'm not a giseng.
Not a giseng?
Aren't you
a giseng's daughter?
If you're going to be rude,
why don't you
have fun with a giseng?
How arrogant!
She's young and doesn't
know any better.
Please don't be angry.
This town is a mess.
Hold him.
Sir,
oh, sir!
I'm not unreasonable.
I wanted you
to pour me drinks.
Why are you being
so arrogant?
Ugly as well as stupid!
Lock her up
until she sees reason.
As for him...
Is he dead?
I'm drunk, I'm going.
She has a weak constitution.
She won't last long in jail.
Spare her.
Discuss it
with the clerk, not me.
But who's in control
ofthis place?
It's you, sir!
It's true but...
he's shut down Chungpung and
levied a lot oftaxes.
It's out of my control.
What happened to your face?
I have something to say...
Come in.
Go.
Would you like something
sweet to drink?
Go now!
Let me just clean this bit.
I said get out!
Temper, temper!
Look at you...
Help me, master.
I know you can.
You weren't happy
when I came back,
asking me
not to get involved.
Why ask for help now?
I didn't know any better.
Forgive me, master.
I'll sort out everything.
How can you?
Don't you trust me?
You don't have any power.
I know you'll just ask
for other people's help.
What else can I do?
A worm can only crawl.
So, if you
have to serve him...
Ifthere is no other way,
just do it.
Really?
Yes.
What a picture!
You'll get her pregnant
in jail.
What if he doesn't come?
He will.
He left his royal badge
with me.
How about Chun-hyang?
He said he brought her
but I don't see her.
This is making me mad.
You think Mong deceived you?
He's coming.
I'm sure of it.
You can't trust nobles!
Many books teach you
how a ruler should behave
but it's hard to find
a good magistrate.
But one such magistrate
has come to our town.
He's going to say a few words...
but... he is at present...
You must have got
bored waiting.
Some food?
Aren't you
ashamed of yourself?
I love it when you get
argumentative.
You love it, right?
I'm sure you have naughty
thoughts all the time.
You into S & M?
What do you
think you're doing?
It's alright.
I know about you.
Stupid is, stupid does.
Does it feel good?
And this?
Are you alright?
Move your hand!
I love it
when you get angry!
Sorry, I have to touch you!
You like it, huh?
Sir!
What? You startled me.
I have something to say.
What's going on?
Sir!
Please forgive Chun-hyang!
It's that guy
from the other day.
Please release her.
I know she's done wrong.
What's wrong with you?
Please let her go.
What's going on?
You'll pay for this.
Let go!
Please, sir...
Sir.
What are you looking at?
Beat him!
Here comes
the Royal inspector!
The drink in the gold cup
is the blood ofthe people,
the food on the pearl plate
is the flesh ofthe people.
Not sure what it means
but it sounds good.
It means that the drink comes
from the efforts
of a thousand people and...
That's not really the case...
Okay.
The new magistrate
welcomed him with a smile.
He did?
He wouldn't be intimidated
But then, the inspector
imprisoned him.
The joke's gone too far.
Then, he harasses Chun-hyang.
I'll ask you one more time.
He was a corrupt magistrate
but still
an order of an official,
why did you
refuse to serve him?
I told you.
I'm not a giseng.
Why should I serve him?
Not a giseng?
Think your behaviour is
better than that of a giseng?
What do you know about me?
I know nothing
of your behaviour
but who knows
you're nothing but talk
You'll tell the truth once
you're beaten.
Spit it out.
Chastity means nothing
in this filthy world.
If you refused while not keeping
your chastity in private,
I'll beat you to death.
What's this?
She has a husband.
Please release her.
Is that so?
Release her, then.
Yes, Sir.
Is this lowly man
your husband?
No, he's just a servant
at my house.
Royal Inspector!
You're right.
I haven't kept my chastity
so I should have served him.
When...
my love left,
he asked me
to keep a promise.
I was torn.
Break the promise
to my love
or be beaten to death
by a nobleman.
Please pass my regards
to Mong ofthe YI family.
Chun-hyang, open your eyes.
It's me, I'm back.
You were waiting for me.
Open your eyes.
I only wanted to test you.
If you die,
what's the point of me
having become a royal inspector?
Hold on.
The Royals' have gone crazy
about her story offidelity
They're going to erect
a monument in her honor.
Great.
Things have gotten
more than great for Mong
He's been promoted
by two grades, too.
She betrayed you
so she won't come, will she?
Of course not.
If she does...
You never know.
If she comes,
don't beg her to stay.
What do you mean?
The game's up
if you beg her to stay.
Act cold.
Act as if you're
happy she's leaving you.
Don't worry.
I was going to do that anyway.
Comb your hair.
A man's style
is all about his hair.
They're releasing you today.
Hold on a bit more.
Yes,
I heard.
You're angry at me?
What's there
to be angry about?
Why did you do it?
Why?
I told you everything
about our plan.
Why did you do it?
When I met the magistrate,
an idea came to me.
Shall we make up
a fake story?
It'll help us both.
This was all set up.
You knew that,
so why did you do it?
I wanted to help you.
The plan had to be
convincing, right?
I've not done anything for you
and I always felt
bad about that.
Plus, I couldn't trust Mong.
Wait!
I have to tell you something.
What?
I...
love you.
What did you say?
I love you.
I'm a servant so
I don't have the right.
But, I love you.
Lucky Chun-hyang!
Aren't you dizzy?
I have to take
Bang-ja with me.
What?
I'm not going anywhere
without him.
Have you gone mad?
If I can't,
I'll tell them everything.
Weird people.
Truly weird.
I know. But the three of us
got along surprisingly well.
I was the one in pain.
No, I thought
I was the one in pain.
Bang-ja!
What?
There's a strange fish.
Fish?
Where the hell is it?
Dear me, I pushed her.
He kept sending people
after us.
We kept running.
I'm not surprised.
He's one hell of a man.
But you are amazing.
You ran offwith
an aristocrat's woman.
She wasn't his,
but mine.
This is she?
She survived but
became like a child.
You've been on the run
with her like this?
Yes.
A heartbreaking tale.
I'll write a good story
for you.
The love of a servant.
No, not like that.
Then what?
Beautify the story.
Chun-hyang was on a swing
on a beautiful May day.
She fell in love
with Mong at first sight.
He went to Seoul,
passed the exam,
she waited for him
and they lived
happily ever after.
If you want, I'll write it
like that but why?
Because it's something
she never got to have.
The title should be
'The Tale of Chun-hyang'
'The Tale of Chun-hyang'.
A great title.
And put in this scene.
It's when the master
is really in love with her.
He sings a song for her.
Come here and I'll carry
you on my back.
Come here
I'm no good at singing, so...
But you're
the hero ofthe tale.
I don't care what kind of
role I play in the tale.
I'm the hero in my heart.
I'll try again properly.
Come here and I'll carry you.
You're my love,
my true love...
