but how could you not?

Minister IM!

Soong-jae! Come at once!

Right away!

- Let's play a game!

- Yes, Your Highness.

Come, you adorable things!

Did you notice the way the

king looked at Jung-hwa?

What do you mean?

We must change our way of thinking.

Consort JANG's girl is

no ordinary candidate.

We can't lose this to JANG.

Rush the liquor serving training

so Jung-hwa can move up.

She is still far from ready.

If we rush this before she's ready...

Do you still not know the king?

He'll suck her dry and throw her out,

it's better to send her in early,

and bring about a new change.

Must Minister YU do this?

Sit down!

Imagine him as the king,

and entice him with drinks.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop!

Go on!

Hear ye!

Must I be humiliated by a worthless p*ssy?

Maybe you don't look like the king.

Remove her at once.

SEOL is up next!

May I

offer you a precious view?

Your Highness, what do you see?

It is a featherless quail!

Your Highness!

Now what do you see?

It is pink, and wet, like a ripe persimmon.

I shall tell you what it is.

What a strange sight,

what a bold sight!

Like a mouth of an old monk,

so bald and toothless!

Like a valley shaped

by centuries of rain

Like a groove in the wood,

made by a sharp axe

Like an oasis, it is

always wet and flowing

Like an abalone waggling its tongue

Like a large seed inside

a dried persimmon

Like a proud rooster with

bright comb on its head

An abalone, a persimmon,

a rooster and water!

It's a magnificent feast!

Enough!

I told you to treat him like the king!

I've made a grave mistake.

JO Jung-hwa is next!

Minister, we aren't here

to save appearances.

May I suggest one of

the king's favorite plays?

Will you accept?

For every drink I down,

take an article off.

If I pass out before you're naked, you win.

If I still stand, your body is mine.

This is not appropriate, please retract.

I didn't realize you could be

so easily offended.

Please continue.

Have you heard of a nut-cruncher?

What is it?

It is an old method

to tame bulls and hogs.

A bull's hormones cause it

to behave aggressively,

so it is better to castrate it

when the time comes.

It is just a hunk of meat,

there's no use for the sack.

It's a repulsive sack of skin,

it's better off gone!

You b*tch!

Even if you are a king,

you must treat a lady fairly.

You're no different than

animals with testicles.

What?

Please stop.

If you can't even endure this,

how will you bed the king?

You'd better just quit.

I'll try again.

Murderous intent will blunt your moves.

Have you fallen for her?

If you take a king's plaything,

3 generations will perish!

We are grooming is a beast, not king.

When we scratch its itch,

we're rewarded handsomely.

Once that stops, the beast

will swallow us whole!

Eliminate useless feelings.

Empty your mind!

Do you really intend to have me bed him?

What?

Are you training me,

or showing me that you're jealous?

Nonsense!

You asked me if I consider

myself as medicine.

And what it treats.

I'll answer you now.

I am medicine prescribed to you.

But your feelings for me defies the king.

Is your daughter still sick?

She's... recovering.

But I just don't see her around anymore.

Let's be frank.

You've gone too far this time.

What do you mean?

The king's tastes are rather unique.

Why is he attracted to whores or butchers?

Perhaps a tyrant and butcher

are a match made in heaven.

Hurry up and get ready!

Good afternoon, sir.

Looking for this?

Why is it so sharp?

Just best prepared for the performance.

That's it...

So fair...

Come on. Come at me!

Protect the king!

Your Highness!

Protect him!

Protect His Highness!

Your Highness!

Take him out of here!

Hurry!

It's poison-laced!

A rare poison used in China.

This is the antidote, treat him.

How did you get this?

We're on the same boat now, understood?

Was that really necessary?

How can I watch a butcher bed the king?

Plus, she must have been scheming.

It had to be done.

Did you...

know who she really was?

You pathetic idiot! Haven't I warned you?

You can't give everything

up over petty feelings!

Petty feelings?

I am not incompetent like you.

What?

Obedience and flattery

will not work forever.

Why you!

When mother committed suicide during exile,

you did nothing but watch.

- Shut your mouth!

- I'm not like you!

I have the power over the king!

Because I am king above the king!

Shut up!

Keep quiet and watch how I do it.

What would you threaten me with?

Forgot what you really

gave the king that night?

Will you betray your father over a girl?

Like father, like son.

Like a father who gave

up his family for power!

The assassin's already dead,

and no clue whatsoever.

How will you conclude this matter?

Since you favor Jung-hwa,

other comforters may

have instigated this...

This is treason.

How dare you!

In king's presence!

Minister.

Do you really believe that?

Your Highness, this has to be treason!

What of your reputation

if your life was at risk over

mere comforters' jealousy?

You must wipe out your

enemies with this chance.

Who knows?

The real perpetrator may be among them.

Bring out the daughters of traitors!

This is unfair. Please save me.

Rash behavior will be met with discipline.

Get up!

Drag her out!

My father obtained this poison from China.

With enough dosage,

it could lead to death.

During exile, my mother didn't

want to burden my father,

so she drank this.

We obtained power that way,

so we ended up like this.

I've told you everything,

now it's your turn.

Why did you attempt to kill the king?

- What do you mean?

- I knew Lord KIM Il-son.

He was a respected official

and an upright man.

He was executed for criticizing the king.

Please stop.

- His remains must be...

- Stop!

You do not deserve to utter his name.

You must give up your revenge plot.

It's all pointless.

For a power chaser,

it's all pointless to you.

I will stop you.

If you do, you will lose your life.

I will use all my power

to get you out.

IM Soong-jae.

Is that power...

really yours?

This is unjust!

Minister IM has arrived!

Minister! Minister!

Minister!

Please save me!

This is unfair!

Should have been careful, Minister YU!

Soong-jae...

For Consort JANG's sake,

I'll let you keep your neck,

so sit back and rest.

You are all wives and daughters

of those who plotted my death!

You'll be punished accordingly!

Have mercy, Your Highness!

But you may be pardoned

at today's shooting ceremony.

And I will accept you back

as my comforters.

We're eternally grateful!

Prime Minister's daughter!

Come forward!

Come here.

I'll aim, you just let the arrow loose.

Yes, Your Highness.

Father! Father!

Heaven's wrath...

No!

Remove her! Next!

If you look away, you'll be flagged!

Let the game begin.

'Treason'

Left!

Next!

He embraced the comforters

and fired the arrows.

Left! Right! All direct hits,

the girls shed tears of blood.

A twisted celebration!
