The Last Princess Page #3

Synopsis: "The Last Princess" is both a drama and an action film that is based upon the life of Princess Deok-hye (1912-1989) who was born into Korea's last royal family in 1912 as the youngest and only daughter of the last King of Jo-seon, ex-Emperor Gojong and his concubine Yang Gui-in. In truth, her sad and tragic life was shaped at the highest levels of the Japanese Imperial family and its government, and carried out by their Korean collaborators - a path that led to Japanese political ends at the expense of her personal happiness. Two years before her birth, the Japanese Imperial Army surrounded Gwang-bok-gong Palace with artillery batteries with orders to shoot while Japanese officials inside the Palace coerced Emperor Su-jong's (King Go-jong's son) cabinet to approve Korea's annexation to the Japan Empire. After her beloved father suddenly died from poisoning in 1919 - allegedly by the occupying Japanese - the Japanese forced Princess Deokye to leave Korea and her family for an education

OF CROWN PRINCE EUN (KING YEONGCHIN))

After the war ended,

all of our assets were returned

to the South Korean government.

Life has been very difficult.

His Majesty has always longed

for his homeland.

Recently, we heard news that the

Princess was missing.

Do you happen to know her

whereabouts?

His Majesty has felt very guilty

toward the Princess.

He was afraid people would

laugh at her.

Apparently, every month he

sent money to some people,

but he never told me who it was.

I hope you will help me look for

the Princess.

(PRINCE AKASAKA HOTEL, FORMER

RESIDENCE OF CROWN PRINCE EUN)

Do you have a reservation?

Would it be okay if I just looked

around?

Okay.

Thank you.

2nd lieutenant Kim of the

Japanese Imperial Army.

(KING YEONGCHIN [CROWN

PRINCE EUN], SON OF GOJONG)

You've finally arrived.

You've finally arrived.

This is the 2nd lieutenant just

appointed as my aide.

This is Princess Deok Hye.

It's nice to meet you.

This is my wife.

I am Masako. We have been

waiting for you.

Are you that Korean?

The one who graduated in 2nd

place from the military academy?

Yes, that's right.

I am Han Taek Su, the royal

advisor.

It's too bad.

It you had been born in Japan,

it would have been better.

I think my loyalty to the emperor

would not have been diminished.

Unpack and get ready for dinner.

How about a cup of tea before dinner?

Princess.

I am Jang Han.

How can you be here?

The Japanese uniform suits you.

When we heard you were coming,

we had them prepare sashimi.

Well, let's eat.

I will enjoy the meal,

Your Highness.

This is quite delicious.

Why aren't you eating?

I'm still not used to this type of

food.

A Japanese Imperial soldier

still can't eat this.

Try something. You might love it

as much as I do.

How is it?

Very good.

I'm glad.

I guess I will come to enjoy

sashimi.

Our Princess still hasn't developed

a taste for sashimi.

Why did you postpone my

return home?

Since I've already graduated,

please keep your promise.

Deok Hye, let's discuss this

matter later.

Korea and Japan are one.

As Japan and Korea are one,

is there still a need for you

to return?

I'll request the royal family to

arrange a good marriage for you.

Your joking has gone too far.

My stomach doesn't feel well,

so I'll leave first.

Your Highness, eat a bit of this.

I suppose the Queen sent this

for me.

Please just eat a little.

Today I was really craving some

Korean food.

Your Highness, I'm sure you'll be able

to return, so just be a little patient.

After we get back, I'll make you

some extra spicy kimchi soup.

(PRINCE YI WU, GOJONG'S GRANDSON)

It's been a long time, Aunt.
