MONGMYEOKSAN MOUNTAIN, PALGAKJEONG PAVILION, FIVE PAST THE THIRD PERIOD
What? Your father's will got swapped with the letter of Secret Roots?
Yes.
And you're investigating Secret Roots.
That's why it's destiny.
I'm destined to get them.
Why are you grinning about that kind of destiny?
So? What'll you do?
I'll draw them out.
With that?
I bet they'll freak out as soon as they see the drawing.
Why does this pig always sleep here?
Goodness.
How come?
The letter on that pouch...
Only Ttolbok knows about it.
Actually,
it's supposed to be like this.
But I ran out of the gold thread since I had to steal it from Madam.
Is he...
still alive?
Is he?
So-i.
Have you ever told
anyone about this character for "luck"?
No. Who would we tell about it?
That's right. We can't even stand you keep making that pouch.
That's true.
It's not even written correctly.
KING SEJONG, YI DO
Take a look at these.
What do you think?
They're peculiar.
They're unique.
They're pretty.
Is it...
Is it really Ttolbok?
Everything else is made of straight lines.
They're unique as they're the only letters that are shaped like circles.
Right?
I noticed that our throat
has a round shape like this,
so I designed these letters like this.
Are these related to the clarity of guttural consonant sounds?
That's correct.
This is a less-clear-sounding guttural consonant.
This is a clear-sounding one, and this is a turbid-sounding one.
Your Majesty. I congratulate you.
You have completed the alphabet.
Yes.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Now, we just have to check
if these letters can describe every sound we make
through the opinion poll.
Mongmyeoksan Mountain, at five past the third period.
What should I do?
We just need to check.
What is the matter, So-i?
Do you not like these?
Your Majesty.
Now, So-i can write her name with these letters, right?
Yes, that's right.
Now, let's see.
SO
I
SO-I
There.
What do you think?
Only Ttolbok knows about that letter.
Your Majesty, my name also has a guttural consonant.
Please write it for me.
Excuse us for a moment.
I wish to speak with So-i.
What's the matter?
Is something bothering you?
No.
They look very simple and pretty.
Then why do you look so downcast?
Tell me.
I wish to see Garion tonight
to learn more about our vocal organs and practice my pronunciation.
Please allow me to do so.
Is that true?
Do you really...
wish to speak again?
Good.
Go ahead.
Of course, you would like to say your own name yourself, correct?
Go.
LUCK
Did you really find this on the board?
SECRET ROOTS: SECRET SOCIETY JEONG DO-JEON CREATED TO KEEP THE KING IN CHECK
What is going on?
It can't be a coincidence.
Ttolbok put it up.
LUCK
He wrote down the time and location. He must want to make an exchange.
Lady Luck is smiling upon you.
It showed up just when we need it.
Could it be a plot?
A plot?
Do you mean Yi Sin-jeok is trying to trick us?
He's the most likely to do such a thing,
but we can't ignore the other five.
They wouldn't know about this letter.
I did think of that, but--
We must still prepare for those odds.
Yes, we should.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
If it really is Ttolbok,
then we'll get the letter of Secret Roots.
If he has set his eyes upon that letter,
we cannot leave him alive.
Tell Pyeong to be ready.
We must prepare for the unexpected,
so contact Kkeok-soe too.
Kkeok-soe?
It seems like Ttolbok is back.
This was put up in various locations?
Yes.
It says five past the third period.
AROUND 1 A.M.
Take your men, check the surrounding area,
and lie in wait.
Yes, ma'am.
He must be killed as soon as we retrieve the letter.
Check thoroughly.
Okay. I'll set off immediately.
You must know
that what happened last time can never happen again, correct?
The Leader will not forgive you twice.
Yes, ma'am.
-Find a spot to shoot arrows from. -Yes, sir.
The first group should cover this area. The second group, cover that area.
The rest will lie in wait around Palgakjeong Pavilion.
-Follow me. -Yes, sir.
Hurry!
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Chae-yun.
Hey.
You can't be here dozing off.
Shouldn't you go and check the area beforehand?
-I am not going today. -What?
It's obvious
that they'll be there in hordes,
causing a ruckus, placing assassins all over the place.
-Why would I go over there? -Then why did you ask to meet?
I should still get my point across.
I see.
Come here.
Stay there.
I knew it.
I'll meet only one of you.
Any more than that and I'll never show myself.
It seems like I have something of immense importance.
If you want it, bring 300 nyang in cash
and wait for my notice.
If you show up in hordes like this again,
I will burn everything
and disappear.
I wouldn't put it past him,
considering how he was like as a kid.
What should we do?
He has nothing to lose,
but not us.
Do as he says.
Where's Kkeok-soe?
Kkeok-soe.
You're needed in Hanyang.
The Leader wishes to see you.
What?
You lied to His Majesty?
I need your help.
You're the only people I can trust.
Didn't you say he was dead?
She did say
she never saw his body.
Wait.
I'm sorry to say this,
but he shouldn't be alive.
Neither should you.
He's a slave who broke out of prison.
She's right. We happened to hear your story by chance.
Even if he is alive, you shouldn't meet him.
How do you know
that it was him who posted this?
It could've been by someone illiterate
or a child's prank.
Then how did that person specify the location and time?
Either way,
I don't like how obsessed you are about this.
She's right.
Have you forgotten what an important job you have?
And you can't forget what you mean to His Majesty.
She's right.
Forget about him.
A court lady will be put to death just for meeting another man.
And you even lied to His Majesty.
Will you just forget about it?
I think so too.
It's all in the past.
Why did you make another pouch and keep thinking about it?
Yes. I am with them on this.
Forget about him.
Move on with your life.
I am...
incapable of forgetting.
I am...
not able to forget anything.
The order of the words
we said while playing the Word chain game.
The shape of the cobweb in the corner of the cell.
The color of the ribbon the messenger was wearing.
Even the pattern of the tiles
on the wall where I parted with my father.
Everything.
I clearly remember them.
Forget them?
There's no way to.
Do you know how badly I want to kill myself?
Okay, that's enough.
We'll help you.
Your Majesty.
The symptoms of your diabetes are getting worse.
Then prescribe me a better medicine.
I can prescribe the best medicines,
but how will you recover if you don't sleep?
Then,
how much longer do you think I'll live?
Your Majesty.
I need to live until I complete the basics of my project.
I'll need at least five years for that.
That's your responsibility.
Your Majesty.
No one can tailor a lifespan to suit one's circumstances.
You need ample rest and sleep,
-read less and-- -That's enough.
A good physician should be able to cure illnesses without all that.
Anyone could cure the patients
if one doesn't let them do anything.
What if I were to eat less meat?
Your Majesty.
Okay. I understand.
Do the best you can.
Well done. You are excused.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
If you're going to tell me to rest too, just don't.
I won't say that anymore.
Are you ticked off?
Your Majesty. Why do you speak to me
as if I'm a jealous woman?
You're right.
I'm sorry.
Well...
I'm like this because I'm in a good mood.
May I ask why?
So-i wishes to learn to speak again.
-Does she? -Yes.
I had such a hard time convincing her to learn to read and write.
You are right.
But once she learned, she became very passionate.
That's right.
Her wanting to learn how to speak again
must mean she has newfound hope.
That makes me happy.
I knew you would be here.
Are you feeding me out of pity?
Spit it back out.
Dongdongju.
-Jumeoni. -"Jumeoni"?
You can't come up with anything, can you?
See? You'd better think straight. He wants you to run away.
Hurry up.
Come down!
-Ttolbok. -Get out of here. Go.
-Did you put up all the notices? -Yes.
I put them up on the walls over there.
Do you think they'll show up?
Don't doubt it. They will.
Okay.
AROUND 1:24 A.M.
Ttolbok.
Was it not you?
Was it...
just a prank?
HYEGANG
I passed our message to the Leader.
Will he bring the letter of Secret Roots?
He promised to.
I do understand Lord Sambong's philosophy,
but it's a fact that...
the current King's reign is a peaceful one.
What about the next generation?
We can't leave
our nation's fate on only one man's temperament and capabilities.
Don't you know that is what Lord Sambong warned us against?
I do know that very well,
but your condition to rebuilding Secret Roots
was seeing the letter of Secret Roots yourself, wasn't it?
Are you saying that I put forward that condition for my own benefits?
I have lived long enough.
However,
the lives of so many scholars depend on my decision.
Of course.
FIVE PAST THE FIFTH PERIOD: 5 A.M.
So-i's not back yet.
Not yet?
How dare a mere court lady stay out so late--
Do you think she's in trouble?
I'll look for her.
So-i.
Where were you? I was so worried.
Did you meet him?
So-i.
SONGJUKJEONG, THIRD DAY OF THE MONTH, FIVE PAST THE THIRD PERIOD
Sir, there was another notice.
This time it is at Songjukjeong.
What happened?
Did you see him?
No one showed up.
She thinks it's a coincidence
and won't go looking again.
"Again"?
We saw another notice on the way back.
What?
They are right.
Let's try to forget.
Regarding that clear-sounding guttural consonant...
Where did that come from?
That sound, sir?
Yes. It's hard to differentiate it from the turbid-sounding one
and neither-clear-nor-turbid one.
To do that, you must go to a well.
-A well? -That's because
it's the sound you make when you're breathless from gulping water.
Like that.
Okay. Then let's go to a well.
Were you...
at Jeongryun Rock last night?
My lord.
Watch what you say.
Pass a message to the Leader.
In three days,
he'd better show us the letter of Secret Roots.
SIM JONG-SU
Would you lose faith
in what we do just because we lost a piece of paper?
Human beings
tend to change in different circumstances.
You should consider
how it would be like
to side with me this time.
BANCHON
Where is Kkeok-soe?
He is here.
He'll go alone to Songjukjeong.
You take just five trustworthy men.
When the two meet, you should get rid of Ttolbok.
Yes, sir.
What if someone else shows up?
What then?
He'll still be some thug.
There's no reason Pyeong won't be able to handle him.
As soon as you retrieve the letter,
kill him.
They'll try to kill me.
Why?
Because I read the letter.
They'll want to kill anyone who had read it.
What is it that they're so crazy about it?
I couldn't make any sense of it.
I don't care what it is.
Then there's no way they'll send just one man.
So? What'll you do?
I'll send them from Songjukjeong to Wujeongam Rock.
Then to Yangsu Valley.
And then--
You'll get rid of a few on the move.
That's what the detours are for.
It looks like we're finally a team.
Let's go.
ONE PAST THE THIRD PERIOD: AROUND 11:24 P.M.
Your Majesty.
It's after the third period.
You should sleep.
So-i.
An aspirated consonant is the sound of...
Ttolbok...
is dead.
SONGJUKJEONG, THIRD DAY OF THE MONTH, FIVE PAST THE THIRD PERIOD
Now if you pull your chin inward,
your throat will open up.
Watch carefully.
Ta, ka, pa.
Okay?
Now, you try.
Ttolbok...
is dead.
No, So-i, not like that.
Speak as if you're pushing your voice outward.
Ta.
Ta...
So-i.
What's the matter?
Is it because it's not working?
Did I put too much pressure on you
by saying that I want to help you speak again?
We're both trying.
It'll work.
I must...
see Garion again.
Okay. You do that.
12:12 A.M.
TIEUT, KIEUK, PIEUP, A
Are you there, Mu-hyul?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will see Garion.
-Be prepared. -Yes, Your Majesty.
Is So-i in?
Your Majesty, was So-i
not with you all this while?
She said she'd go to Banchon, but she wasn't there.
If she's not here either, where did she go?
She will be back soon.
What is it?
Speak the truth.
Your Majesty.
The thing is...
I told you to speak the truth.
I think she went to meet someone.
Who?
Well...
She saw a notice on the street yesterday
and said he had put it up.
Yes. We told her not to go, but...
Who is it?
Who's she meeting?
Someone she knew from childhood. His name is Ttolbok.
After all,
the day has come.
Right.
We can't hide it forever.
I knew this would happen and yet...
Your Majesty.
The two people who yearned so much for each other were so close together.
How could we stop them?
Your Majesty.
Once Kang Chae-yun meets So-i,
there's no telling how he'll react.
They said Songjukjeong.
Kang Chae-yun and So-i,
bring them both to me.
-Your Majesty. -I'll tell them
the whole truth.
Why aren't they here?
-What? -Something's off.
There are assassins
stationed all around the mountain.
Assassins?
Select a strategic position and lie in wait.
Yes, sir.
He's here.
Doesn't that look like an old man?
You go to Wujeongam Rock first.
And you?
I'll make sure...
they come to Wujeongam Rock.
It's after five past the third period.
He must be around here somewhere.
Uncle Kkeok-soe?
Who's that woman?
Who are you?
What's that court lady doing here?
What shall we do?
Arrest every one of them!
Go!
Mu-hyul.
What do you want?
Why are you following me?
Uncle Kkeok-soe, it's me.
I'm Dam.
What's wrong? Let go of me.
I'm Dam.
I can't read.
Try to pronounce Da, a lingual consonant.
Da.
A lingual consonant.
Putting the tongue on the roof of the mouth.
Da...
Da?
Da...
Dam.
Are you Dam?
You're alive, Dam.
You're alive. Dam.
Dam.
What brings you here?
Help me.
You're the only one I can trust.
This man cannot read.
Read him what I write.
Yes. I will do that.
"Did you put up the notice...
with the character 'luck'?"
No, I didn't.
Do you also know about that character?
"When I was young,
I made a pouch for Ttolbok.
I embroidered the character onto it."
So-i knows Ttolbok?
Oh, I apologize.
"How did you...
end up there?"
I managed to get out alive and lived in hiding.
A few years ago, someone came to me.
He knew I used to serve Lord Sim On.
He was looking for Ttolbok.
He said his father's keepsake got swapped with Ttolbok's pouch.
The pouch?
See? You'd better think straight. He wants you to run away.
Let's get out of here, Ttolbok.
He wanted to find his father's keepsake
and asked me to contact him if I ever met Ttolbok.
But then,
I saw the notice a few days ago.
I showed up hoping to meet Ttolbok.
Is Ttolbok...
really alive?
Is he really?
She's asking who the other men could have been.
I don't know.
You, I and Ttolbok all should not be alive.
If Ttolbok were there...
and someone chased him,
I wouldn't be surprised.
I don't know what his story is,
but could he be chased by the slave hunters or the Royal Forces?
That could be the case.
It must have taken a lot of courage to put up that notice,
but it ended up like this.
He won't show up ever again.
"I know of a way to call him out."
What...
is it?
What happened?
They looked like the Palace Guards.
And who was that woman?
I should check the palace first thing in the morning.
Secret Roots?
The man who entered the palace
when Scholar Yoon Pil died was at the scene.
What about So-i?
She was there...
but I lost her. I apologize.
Damn it.
What about Kang Chae-yun? Did you see him?
He wasn't there.
Then it wasn't Kang Chae-yun?
Was it Secret Roots' doing?
Based on what we saw,
it seems so.
Were they after So-i?
Did they know about the character?
I can't say for sure.
Father, you must find So-i.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You know how important her role is in creating our alphabet.
I do.
Commandant. Gather your men in secret
and find So-i.
As soon as dawn breaks,
bring Kang Chae-yun.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
I can finally...
meet Ttolbok.
GYEEONSAN MOUNTAIN, MAEUI, FIVE PAST THE THIRD PERIOD
The sun's rising on my left.
We're going south.
Two hundred and fourteen.
Two hundred and fifteen.
Two hundred and sixteen.
Chae-yun, there's another notice.
Can we get rid of this sleeping pig?
-Why is he always here? -What notice?
That pouch with the weird character.
It's up again.
This area is to the right of Songjukjeong.
Search thoroughly for clues before the third period and--
Commandant.
There's a new notice.
"Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Maeui"?
"Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Maeui"?
It's Gyeeonsan Mountain this time.
Gyeeonsan Mountain.
What does "Maeui" mean?
What will you do? Will you be there?
The Palace Guards were there last night.
It could be a trap.
What are you two up to?
Go to the palace
and ask why the Palace Guards were at Songjukjeong last night.
Find that out for me.
The Palace Guards were at Songjukjeong?
What for?
Why you...
You sleepy pig.
We're asking because we don't know.
What's going on now?
It's 6,124 steps.
That's about seven and a half ri.
We turned northeast once
and twice to the west.
Now I sense a river breeze.
We must be
at the northeast side of Hoemyeongsan Mountain.
We're going uphill.
One,
two, three...
First, we need to figure out Gyeeonsan Mountain's terrains.
Head over to Gyeeonsan Mountain first.
Okay, I'll do that.
Where is Gyeeonsan Mountain, by the way?
-You don't know? -No.
I don't know either.
-Come along. -Okay.
We finished compiling the first part of Chiljeongsan.
We would like to start on the second part right away.
Very well.
While compiling the second part,
check for mistakes in the first part...
Check thoroughly.
Let's discuss the details at a later date.
What is going on?
What do you mean?
The Palace Guards have been busy since morning.
What is going on?
I don't know anything about that.
Chief Scholar Jeong.
There have been too many secrets surrounding His Majesty lately.
Things that not even those in the Hall of Worthies knows about.
"Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Maeui"?
Where is Gyeeonsan Mountain?
I've never heard of it.
"Maeui"?
Doesn't that refer to the royal vet who treats the horses?
Who put up this notice?
The only two who know that character...
are Kang Chae-yun and So-i.
But Secret Roots showed up?
It's Kang Chae-yun...
or So-i.
Or could it be Secret Roots?
Locate Kang Chae-yun.
What's most pressing now...
is finding out about Gyeeonsan Mountain and Maeui.
Where's the Chief Scholar?
Starting now,
go through all our geography books to find Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Also, list all the locations called Maeui
and report them to me.
I will explain what's going on.
The northeast side of Hoemyeongsan Mountain.
Close to Hwasa River.
Margin of error is...
within 400 steps.
That would be about half ri.
This is a secret meeting place that only Ttolbok and the court lady know?
We have no way of knowing where Gyeeonsan Mountain is.
And what does "Maeui" mean?
Gyeeonsan Mountain,
Maeui,
five past the third period.
They're going to meet tonight at Gyeeonsan Mountain at five past the third period.
Shouldn't we question the court lady first?
Of course we should.
Do your wrists hurt?
Where is Gyeeonsan Mountain?
Are you...
members of Secret Roots?
If you don't tell
what this notice means,
you will die here.
If I die,
you won't get what you want.
If that were to happen, I'm not the one to lose out.
I could torture you.
You probably haven't experienced it before.
The pain will be unbearable.
You people can never imagine the kind of pain I live in.
Pain?
Give it a go.
We must find Gyeeonsan.
It does not have to be a mountain.
Find every mention of "gyeeon."
It could be the old name of a location.
Find any place with a name that sounds similar.
Find name of locations or traditions connected to the word "maeui."
What are you doing, Your Majesty?
It could be a code using parts of the character
written in the notice.
Or the number of strokes.
It could a code using pronunciation
instead of the meaning.
What are you doing standing there?
We must find the place.
Even I, the King, am at work.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Hey, do you think you can figure it out?
Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Gyeeonsan Mountain. Maeui.
Stop all this and put up another notice.
We're in control here.
Can't we pick another location?
They'll suspect us now.
The Palace Guards showed up last time...
so they'll be on alert.
The stupid Secret Roots.
Why did they make it so difficult?
Hey, Chae-yun.
Don't you think it's a little strange?
Secret Roots need this.
They want to meet you to take this back.
Why would they leave a code you can't solve?
It must be one or the other.
One or the other?
Either this notice isn't for me,
or it isn't...
from Secret Roots.
How do you know about that?
You know me. I have a way of knowing.
Tell me.
Why did you go to Songjukjeong last night?
My goodness.
You're unbelievable.
A court lady went missing.
A court lady?
Which one?
So-i.
So-i...
The court lady from Prince Gwangpyeong's chambers?
Hey, where's Kang Chae-yun?
Commandant wishes to see him.
I heard he didn't come to the palace today.
What's going on?
Who...
Chae-yun...
Kang Chae-yun?
Tell the truth!
The truth is,
he's investigating something in secret.
A secret investigation?
A drawing of a strange pouch was put up in the marketplace.
And the drawing has...
something to do with Secret Roots.
Still nothing?
So-i refuses to speak.
Why didn't you torture her until she does?
I don't think torture will work.
She's just a girl.
You can't even handle a girl?
The sun's setting already.
The notice said five past the third period.
What should we do?
Sir!
Get Kkeok-soe.
What are you going to do?
You wet the cloth to try to slip your hands out?
It won't work unless the cloth...
is drenched.
I brought someone you would like to see.
Uncle Kkeok-soe.
How come...
You're back.
Kang Chae-yun saw the notice and made a move.
He would.
If he saw the incomplete character for "luck,"
he would take action.
Your Majesty.
This is a list of locations related to "Maeui."
The palace vet is in the Office of the Royal Stables,
so we arranged information on that department as well.
We also researched Goryeo's office with the same duties.
Just what on earth is...
However,
we failed to figure out...
what the code means.
Damn it!
AROUND 11:24 P.M.
Your Majesty, it's past the third period.
There's no time.
It was Secret Roots.
Those who saved me
and kept me alive...
were those in Secret Roots.
I don't know
anything about their great cause.
I only lost an arm...
and you only lost your speech.
But our master,
his wife and their son...
Keun-nom, Dol-soe,
your father Geol-sang,
and Ttolbok's father Seok-sam...
They all lost their innocent lives.
All because of
the King's order.
We never even got to bury them.
You know their bodies were left for the birds and beasts to eat.
These people...
only want the item.
They don't care about you or Ttolbok.
So,
tell them.
I don't know...
how Ttolbok survived and what he did all his life,
but he shouldn't be alive.
If we don't find him now, we might never get to.
These people can get their item back,
and you can reunite with Ttolbok.
Wouldn't that be good for all?
Call the people.
I'll take them to Gyeeonsan Mountain.
You're doing the right thing.
I'll take off the blindfold at the bottom of the mountain.
To the southeast from the foot of Hoemyeongsan Mountain.
Twenty-four.
Twenty-five.
Twenty-six.
It doesn't exist, Your Majesty.
Neither the old names from the Goryeo dynasty
nor the old names in our language
indicate a place called Gyeeonsan Mountain.
We can find no place linked to the word "maeui."
Did you look thoroughly?
Did you compare every single letter?
Didn't you just skim through
because you read it many times?
Your Majesty.
We aren't like So-i.
We can't memorize all this.
How could we have just skimmed through?
Damn it!
GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EIGHT PROVINCES
If my calculation is correct,
I'm right here.
Then,
to my east-northeast should run a tributary of the Han River.
That's Hwasa River.
HWASA RIVER
Hwasa River's minimum depth is five cheok.
The maximum depth is about 90 cheok.
It flows to the east
and meets a branch of Namhan River.
What are you doing?
Keep walking.
If it's five cheok deep, I'll die.
If my calculation is wrong, I'll die.
If the Geographical Description isn't accurate, I'll die.
He said keep walking.
Suicide?
Get her.
Twelve steps.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven,
twelve.
Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Maeui.
What does it mean?
If it wasn't Secret Roots that was calling for me,
who is this meant for?
If it's not from Secret Roots,
who left this?
Who else knows about that character?
Hey, forget about it. Stop thinking.
We have what they want.
Don't you think they would reach out to us first?
It's almost time.
Ttolbok.
You have to solve it.
You can...
solve the riddle.
Remember.
Please.
Hey, Chae-yun.
Chae-yun.
Run! You need to run.
Stupid me.
-What's wrong? -The Palace Guards
are frantically looking for you.
What? The Palace Guards?
What did you do this time?
-Forget about that. -You can't.
-There's an uproar. -Calm down.
Did you find out what I asked?
What?
Oh, that?
So-i the court lady is missing.
That's why they were at Songjukjeong.
-So-i? -Yes.
The Commandant of the Palace Guards went out just to find a court lady?
That was So-i?
That means,
that woman we saw...
That was So-i, the court lady.
What are you two talking about?
LUCK
It can't be.
What's this?
"Gyeeonsan Mountain.
Ma...
-eui"? -Bak-po.
What do you think it means?
"Gyeeonsan Mountain"?
It doesn't exist.
For "maeui..."
Doesn't that mean "nima"?
-"Nima"? -Yes.
That's another word for "maeui."
Horse doctors.
You're right.
Hey, Chae-yun.
That would fit your word game.
Nima.
EON
You lose. You can't come up with anything, can you?
"Gye..."
It means...
This character...
Don't you know? It means "to connect."
"To connect."
"Eon" means "word."
The small hill...
where we played word games?
My foolishness as a child
led my father and those I love to death.
I can memorize any character or picture by looking at it once.
I can
memorize everything that I see.
Dam.
It's okay not to know a character.
Hey, Chae-yun.
Hey.
What's wrong? Did we do something wrong?
TAVERN
Where does Kang Chae-yun live?
He lives over there, but...
what's the matter?
There he is.
Kang Chae-yun!
Ttolbok.
You have to come.
Dam... Dam is alive?
And that's So-i?
Why is he here?
Dam.
Dam!
