This is not of a man's desire to see a naked woman.
It's the mind of a scholar seeking to find the truth.
Sayung (senior)
What, wh..at?!
What are you doing here?
what about you?
Have you perhaps seen Kim Yoon Shik?
Kim Yoon Shik... what about Daemul?
I haven't seen him for quite a while.
This is..this is Hyang Kwan Chung.(Hyangkwan chung: The place where they held memorial services for Sungkyunkwan's great men.)
Memorial... what's that...
This is a place where only those who hold memorial ceremonies can enter.
why would he be here?
He could have come here
Since this is a secretive place where only the officials in charge of holding memorial services can enter
If Daemul has a secret
Then what better place than here, is it not?
Seeing is believing.
We will now see if Daemul is here or not.
No!
What are you so afraid of?
Afraid of what?
What happened to the Bangoong's crazy horse Moon Jae Shin?(Bangoong: university town)
And instead, you're shaking like a frightened donkey.
Just like this.
Perhaps something we shouldn't see,
Did you hide it in here?
What?
So we can't look but you can see what's in there?
Isn't that right Garang?
Tell me, my friend.
Crazy ***. This is Hyang Kwan Chung,
Hyang Kwan Chung!
In a place like Hyang Kwan Chung, the only treasures that can be found are incense burner's pots.
So that why you should leave! Leave I say!
Hyang Kwan Chung that only has incense burner's pots?
You're right.
Then the light that's shining through the crack,
must be the fire remaining from the incense used at the last memorial service.
I'll inform the school guards and assistants, so that we can check in front of the entire Sungkyunkwan.
You can't!
I shouldn't do that, right?
It would be better if I just checked myself, right?
So exactly what is there to see here?
Fortunately, there seems to be no evidence of a lit incense.
Would I take part in the night roll call?!
Wait a minute.
I'm sure I saw a light from outside.
What are you doing here?
At this hour,
you dare to cause a commotion at the Hyang Kwan Chung!
Won't you tell me now!
While we were passing by, we saw a light coming from here.
Thats why.
A light?
That you would dare play at sacred Hyang Kwan Chung!
Such indecency!
You'll all have 5 points deducted.
Ah! professor...
Hurry and get out!
He still isn't here...our Daemul.
Where exactly did he go?
Where in this Sungkyunkwan can he be hiding
that I can't even see a glimpse of him?
Isn't that right, Geol Oh?
Where are you going?
I have to go look for him.
Stop right there!
He's a full grown man. He'll crawl back in safely.
You worry needlessly.

I heard there was a commotion at Hyang Kwan Chung.
Was it because of you?
Please forgive me.
The life of a Sungkyunkwan scholar.
Did you consider it an idle outing of
a noble maiden?
It...it isn't like that, professor.
Keep this in mind.
Here in Sungkyunkwan
Even though you're a girl,
you must not be one.
Moreover, just because everybody treats you like a man
you must not forget that you are a girl and lower your guard.
From the moment you,a girl, said you would remain in Sungkyunkwan
don't forget that every second
you are walking on a tight rope with your life at stake.
The one who made such a dangerous choice
Kim Yoon Hee...
It was none other than yourself.
Subtitles are brought to you by the Scandalous Team at Viikii.net
Didn't Kim Yoon Shik demand...
to acknowledge him as a Sungkyunwkan scholar if he won at the Dae Sa Rae?
He also demanded that I apologize.
Uh....
Forget about that non-sense.
President.
What can I do?
It's the political harmony team that the King acknowledged himself.
A man should keep his own word.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
With your permission, I will...
No!
I will!
Please give me another chance!
Just one more time...
So funny, the way you're scared out of wits...
Don't presume.
Nobody try...
It'll be a fun spectacle.
Would it be better if the king himself kicks them out of Sungkyunkwan...
or...
if those *** talking about political harmony
turn backs on each other?
A tough...
choice!
What do you care?
You saw...
Back there at Hyang Kwan Chung (Incense Hall).
Right?
Where have you been and what have you been doing to return so late?
Moreover,
I heard uncharacteriscally you even got into a fight.
What's gotten into you today?
Missing the night roll call and even a fight...
Are you becoming like Geol Oh now?
It's a girl, right?
Kim Yoon Shik.
Are you nuts?
What kind of talk is that?
You'll have more luck deceiving a ghost.
I'm Goo Yong Ha,you know.
who can guess the color of a girl's *** just from the scent of her makeup powder.
I'm Yeorim Goo Yong Ha. ;And...
the Goo Yong Ha who's been your friend for 10 years.
Yeah, so proud of you.
So what?
Hiccups...
You...
came running out because you couldn't stand being in the same room with a girl.
That means somebody inside that room must be a girl...
Lee Sun Joon has been with us.
That leaves only one.
Daemul Kim Yoon Shik.
Go to sleep, sleep.
Don't make a habit out of
sleeping with your eyes open and talking in sleep.
We'll wait and see.
how long you can stand...
sharing a room with a girl.
Please allow me to repay your kindness.
Repaying kindness?
Kim Yoon Shik.
You sneaky...
A girl entering Sungkyunkwan
and deceiving the king and belittling the law of the nation.
Well...
that can happen.
But
Tricking I, Yeorim, Goo Yongha...
My pride won't allow that.
Of course not!
If it wasn't for that scoundrel Geol Oh,
I could have gotten to the bottom of this...

Senior...
Senior...Get lost!
Why are you over there?
Whats wrong?
With those clothes and the blanket.
Get away!
Senior...
Malaria.
I think I'm afflicted with malaria.
Malaria?
Thats right.
So please don't get any closer.
Last night,
were you able to take a bath?
As if.
Thanx to you, I went through some troubles.
Why?
Did something happen at Hyang Kwan Chung?
I wasn't able to go anywhere near Hyang Kwan Chung.
You didn't go!?
Why!?
After hearing about the *** ghost,
I couldn't go.
That girl...
must have been waiting for a man to enter.
And I'm not just any man.
Because I'm Daemul. Daemul.
So...
So I looked for you to ask you to wash each other's back, but you weren't around.
You should never ever go anywhere near Hyang Kwan Chung.
Who knows?
The grudge of a broken heart girl,
you probably have a fair share.
wait, wait.
So you really didn't go?
I for sure saw a light coming from Hyang Kwan Chung.
Did you go there last night?
See!
That light...
It's surely the *** ghost calling for you, Senior.
So live more nicely from now on.

We're going home!
Are you all happy!
Yes, hyung-nim.
Today is a day off, every 8th and 23rd of the month.
All scholars...
When returned home,
must not tarnish your schorlarly reputation by indulging hunting, fishing...
gambling and entertainment.
When you return to Sungkyunkwan
You must not bring back money and other valuables,
and...
other forbidden items.
Be mindful of it.
Also,
in preparation for...
The written exam given by his Majesty, (every 10th of the month)
I hope you will devote time to studying as well.
the allowance provided to you today....
is the blood, sweat and tears of the people.
So do not squander it. The end.
Daemul.
Tell me truthfully,
Are you happy about going home...
Or are you happy about this money? Why bother asking?
It's not like he has a wife and kids at home, so of course he likes the money.
Confucius said...
I...
Getting this money and going home, makes me very very happy.
hey, hey look at Daemul.
What is that thing?
Say it.
At Hyang Kwan Chung yesterday,
Absolutely, positively, without doubt
Was there nobody there?
Say something you ***!
Why are you like this, this early in the morning?
Like someone who saw a ghost, your face pale white.
I,
Think its like this professor Yoo
The students,
if there's anything they want to bring back from home,
no matter how valuable those items may be,
must we forbid them from doing so?
I mean, what I'm saying is...
That...
Let's pretend that the scholars brought valuable items from home.
And so?
While looking at it...
to console their longing to see their parents,
they may be overwhelmed with their gratitude...
for their professors who are like their 2nd parents,
and beg for us to accept their gift.
And I can give that to His Majesty, who's like a father to me...
Is there something wrong with what i just said?
Professor Jung probably understands how I feel.
What is that thing you have on your eye?
Did i frighten you?
I'm making it to give to His Majesty for his exam this month.
what is this?
Even from afar, it can catch scholars who are cheating.
It's a kind of second eye.
Wow, Professor Jung, you're indeed a step ahead of me!
For the upcoming personnel transfers, you plan to prepare ahead!
Is it expensive?
Do you by chance know already?
The exam question His Majesty will ask for this month's exam?
Who can even guess at what that goblin-like fellow does?
Your majesty?
This is...
A problem.
Huh?
Don't be surprised.
There are others who will be solving the problem.
This is the problem that I will pose for this month's Sungkyunkwan written exam.
This time,
If it's someone who passes my exam,
even if that person is Noron's son, Lee Seon Jun,
you won't be able to change my mind.
Even as a Sungkyunkwan scholar,
nothing has changed.
So focused on the bag of money,
unable to figure out what's important, you're exactly the same.
I have nothing to say to you.
Didn't you say that you have a sick sibling?
How did you remember such a thing?
Since you already brought it,
I will accept it.
Oh no.
I'm one step too late.
Accept it Kim Yoon Shik.
Here.
Why are you giving it to me, you punk?
What is this president?
My present.
Say it.
I did some thinking,
When we all leave this Sungkyunkwan,
the leftover food from the kitchen will all become a waste.
Then, it will be thrown away on this pasture of grass
and will become food for the cows and the other livestock.
Kim Yoon Shik.
As you may know quite well,
This is all the blood, sweat, and tears of the people.
I can't throw away the blood, sweat, and tears of the people
as fodder for the cows.
We, who will one day become government officials.
What is that supposed to mean?
So hasty.
That's why, I did some thinking.
Who is the most suited to take care of this leftover?
For whom will this be helpful in their dirt poor poverty?
Most importantly, who would be smart enough to not let silly pride get in the way.
That would be,
Kim Yoon Shik.
This isn't for Kim Yoon Shik.
why? You can do it!
Why cant I?
Did you ask me to acknowledge you as a Sungkyunkwan scholar if you win at the Dae Sa Rae?
That is my answer.
As a Sunkyunkwan scholar,
you should enjoy at least this kind of luxury.
Isnt that right?
of course!
Shut up!
Look at this,
From Lee Seon Jun to Moon Jae Shin,
the entire Kim Yoon Shik's clan is here.
Political harmony group or whatever.
Stop it Senior.
I,
Am okay.
Thank You president.
What are you saying right now?
Won't you put that down!?
I don't want to.
I,
Will take it.
It will be a great help...
for my house.
Thank you.
Subtitles are brought to you by the Scandalous Team at Viikii.net
Listen, Moon Jae shin, Lee Sun Joon,
did you say you'll become one regardless of the political parties?
You guys can't be one with Kim Yoon Shik.
Whether you're a Noron or a Soron,
because you're precious sons...
who've never had to worry about food since the day you were born.
Let's get along well from now on.
We're of a similar situation.
Shut that mouth.
It smells.
Young master, your back.
What's with the pots of plants?
Huh?
Ah really! Raising kids is useless!
You really dont know what today is?
It's not that I don't know it's father's birthday.
Then?
Not sending back plants that he received as gifts,
Today is the first time.
I know.
Your father must be getting old.
Well,
for dinner, he's even having guests over.
With preparing for the dinner table, your mother is busy.
Father did?
Let's see.
Our son. Who's son is he?
So good looking.
Where's father?
Sir, young master is here.
Young master is here.
I know.
I've been waiting.
I was a little surprised to hear <br>that you were holding a birthday banquet.
It's never happened before.
Not really a banquet.
The wine I made last year turned out well, so I wanted to share it with others.
Your archery skills have improved.
I still have a long way to go to catch up to you, Father.
Political harmony group?
The King looked very pleased.
Good job.
There would be no benefits for you,
to turn the King your enemy yet.
Some day...
you mean I must be enemies with His Majesty?
Are you afraid?
Whether that's the right road,
that's what I'm afraid of.
Our country Joseon is the noblemen's country.
Imjin Invasion (attack from the japanese in 1592) and Byungja War (with the Qing dynasty in 1636),
during these two wars,
the only thing that the royal family did...
was to abandon the people and flee from the palace.
or to bow to the barbaric intruders.
At those times,
the ones who led the citizens,
and guarded our posts were us noblemen.
Punishing these noblemen...
with accusations of splitting up parties,
and isolating all power in the hands of the monarch....
is the true nature of "political harmony."
I do not believe that you're a fool who would fall for such false pretenses.
However,
it would be wise to not do acts that would lead the world to misunderstand you.
Did you say the world's misunderstanding?
With a Namin kid with an unknown root, or with someone from a Soron family,
associating with them as roommates.
I...
don't have such a roommates, Father.
Although poor, he's not lazy in his studies.
A person who thinks of his family more than his own pride,
Scholar Kim Yoon Shik.
And...
he who never hesitates for the sake of justice,
Scholar Moon Jae Shin.
I...
I am learning a lot more from them.
This is my command.
Do I need to explain any further?
Please give me all of this and that.
yes.
Here, you go.
yes. Thank you.
This one.
What about me?
this looks better on you.
It's so pretty.
how do you know a woman's desire so well?
That one costs 5 pennies.
You should get the ribbon.
It's fine.

Is this also a man's preference?
I'll take this!
Who is it?
Who ordered you to do this?
Spill it!
Byong Pan (Minister of War)!
Byong Pan? Why would he tail me? Why?
We weren't following you
Then who?
Answer me, NOW!
That sissy pretty scholar.
Subtitles are brought to you by the Scandalous team in Viikii.net
you.
What's your true identity?
What?
You lost that sissy boy?!
But Kim Yoon Shik most certainly is not Hong Byuk Seo.
Judging from his archery stance.
He also seems to have a different physique from Hong Byuk Seo.
Who told you to analyze?
Just catch him like you're told!
Hog Byuk Seo (Red Bulletine) or Chung Byuk Seo (Blue) whatever it is, just catch him!
I came, father.
I heard you're going to Jwa Sang(Left/3rd Prime Minister)'s
birthday banquet.
I wonder what had gotten into that fastidious man
to be throwing a banquet.
He wants to show off his influence.
Why?
To whom?
Even if the king stirs up the young scholars,
that the power that really moves Joseon
is not the Royal Lee Family of Jeonjoo...
but Jin Sung (the head family) Lee's family <br>of Jwa Sang himself.
Among the Sungkyunwan students,
there is this one called Kim Yoon Shik.
Do you know what sort of chap he is?
First, you must tell me, father, why you want to know.
Why do you have to be so fussy?
Can we just go on?
At Sungkyunkwan,
nothing must happen without my knowledge.
I'm indebted to his dad, you happy now?
So,
are you worried that the son might ask you to repay his father's debt?
Kind of...
Don't worry.
He is not capable of that.
That is good, but
The king has taken notice.
With the roommates, something about political harmony...
That's at an end too.
I'm planning to make Lee Seon Jun
one of my people.
How?
Didn't you know?
Hyo Eun.
Hyo Eun?
What about my daughter?
When will my lord send a matchmaker to my house?
Wake up, b----, that'll never come to pass.
What?!
What sort of?! Who do you think I am?
Calm down, Little Miss.
That medium supposedly gets possessed through his mouth.
The more he curses, the more psyched he gets.
That's right. The son my sister couldn't bear
with even 10 years' worth of praying to Buddha
was conceived with the medium's help.
He also predicted exactly how
my father would take a concubine.
Then...
what should I do?
Is she naive or dumb?
Does she really believe that a few drawn cards
can change a person's heart?
No! He's so uncanny.
He drove so many fortunetellers out of business.
That so?
He babbles
and also tells your fortune.
Isn't that smashing?
that's why this place is called Babbling Medium's.
In that case, shall I...?
You are going to?
Who's the girl?
Whose heart do you want to change?
Mine.
My heart.
Everything about the female...
is good but always gets boring.
How nice it would be if it weren't so.
Then I can save on the seduction costs.
Don't you think so?
If you ever meet such a fate, please introduce her to me too.
I'm curious as to
who such an amazing girl might be.
That man is a bear, a bear...
What a thick skull...
A girl is flitting to and fro right before his eyes and he doesn't know.
Does he think eyeholes are poked because there isn't enough skin to spare?
tsk, tsk.
So...
So you're saying he can't see me?
Ulsigoo julsigoo
What gall you have to tear up like that after picking such drawn cards as these? Shush!
What does the tiger mean?
Like facing
a tiger with its mouth wide open.
That's how precarious your fate is, b-----.
Then...
What do I have to do? sir?
Absinthe and garlic.
You have to be a woman.
Let the obtuse guy know that you're a woman.Then the game is over.
A woman? How?
Sir?
No! I won't do it! I'll never do it!
Why?
What did he say?
Let's at least hear it.
No need to know. I won't do it anyway.
You won't do it? Aren't you the sort of man who does anything and everything for money?
Please give me some other job than writing the love letter.
I will finish it off before returning to Sungkyunkwan.
You want to see me dead?
That young lady has such tempers!
What can I do? I can't write it.
I've never written or received a love letter.
Do you think I'm in this business by choice?
Even though I get no profit out this business, for your sake, I am...
How come?
I heard you charge 3 Niang per love letter...
Do you think even one coin ends up in my pocket?
When every cent is going to that young master of Jwa Sang's I'm saying this out of frustration.
Why? Don't you remember?
The money I gave you in advance
when you entered Sungkyunkwan, the 50 Nyang!
Jwa Sang's son?
What do you mean by that?
Subtitles are brought to you by the Scandalous team in Viikii.net
Hyung-Nim!
Why are you so pale?
As if you've seen a ghost?
What do you mean a ghost... a ghost? There are no ghosts.
I must go back to Moran-gak.
But why? Didn't you say you were going to buy new clothes?
If I wore new and pretty clothes, and he still wouldn't look toward me,
I would then have no excuse to make.
Why is it ok for you, but not for me?
Young master!
You have a guest.
What are you doing all the way here?
Young lord.
It was unexpected.
Dressed like this...
I am a nobleman's daughter. I have to be careful of others' eyes.
To me, your house is more difficult to enter than Sungkyunkwan.
Congratulations on your birthday, Left Prime Minister.
Congratulations.
Let's eat.
Will you tell His Majesty?
Thanks to the food and drinks His Majesty provided, all these people gathered here ate plentifully and had a great time.
As you have seen, Prime Minister, how so many people came to congratulate Left State Minister on his birthday,
you must tell him without leaving out any details.
I have no intention to do that, Minister of War.
People who like to gossip about others would have a lot to say about Left State Minister's extravagant party.
Pathetic talks about how this was a scheme to show His Majesty of the Left State Minister's influence.
Wouldn't telling him about this vulgar public opinion...
be the same as bad-mouthing the Left State Minister.
Subtitles brought to you by the S-Scandal Team @www.viikii.net
Oh, no. Do you believe that His Majesty would be easily swayed by such scandals of this world?
His Majesty knows better than anyone else.
Of my loyalty for this country, Joseon.
It would be a problem if you continue to do this.
To pop in and out like this at anytime is not against rules of men and women
but it is also rude manners toward me.
From now on, if you have any messages for me, send them through your servant....
no!
What do I do? Just 15 minutes. He said you just have to have it in your possession for 15 minutes.
do you have feelings for me?
If so, please stop.
I don't believe that a person's heart can be moved by something like this amulet. And I...
I absolutely despise such foolish trickery.
I don't wish to associate with you as neither a lover nor a friend.
Please go back. And I hope...
that we would not meet again.
Then what do I do?
I'm angry too. Because I hate myself for being this way,
I tried not to come.
I never dreamed that I would do such foolish things.
But before I knew it, I couldn't help but to stand in front of you like this looking like a fool.
I was happy that the things that seem to only happen in romance novels were happening to me.
My heart fluttered everyday.
Even so, one day I realized. I came to know.
That you don't share the same feeling as me.
But it's okay. Because I like you.
Because I like you so much..
I'm so sorry.
Isn't that the Minister of War's daughter?
Hyo Eun, YOU!
Nothing will happen. Don't worry too much...
How can you ask me to give up on someone like you?
It seems you didn't know either, Left Prime Minister.
But then again, I only recently found out, Sir.
Kids these days are different from our times. We can't just scold them.
It's all a part of being young.
Soon Dol will safely take you home.
Return safely.
Oh!
Young master, isn't that man over there pretty boy scholar?
Soon Dol, take Miss home safely.
Yes.
Aren't you here to see me?
Kim Yoon Shik.
ALL this time,
did you have fun?
Seeing me excited going around as a Sungkyunkwan scholar not knowing of anything,
how much must you have secretly mocked me?
What are you talking about?
50 Nyang.
I heard everything from Mr. Hwang at the bookstore.
Never again...
do I want to see your face.
First listen to me!
Did you say marriage?
I think you should prepare for the civil service exam after getting married and leaving Sungkyunkwan.
I'm going to... swoosh... grab the young lord.
Where the heck did this punk go?
There were 8 theft cases over night.
You thief!
Is it really possible that Scholar Kim Yoon Shik is not the thief?
<br> it would be difficult to find the real culprit.
It happened because of me.<br>I don't want to live as if in debt this time again.
I died with my brother that day.
Where did you buy it?
Say it. What you want to say.
I... believe in Lee Seon Jun. More than myself.
