Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River

-=During the Qing Dynasty,

Byeong Ja randomly kidnapped

and enslaved 100,000 Joseon citizens.=-

-=Some were used in battle by

the Qing army as human shields.=-

-=Northern region of China=-

Mother!

I'll kill you!

Thank you.

Hyeongnim!

(eldest brother)

I'm from Joseon! Joseon!

I don't even sound like I'm

Chinese!

Don't wipe it off!

Survival is more important.

Hurry, pretend to be dead!

I've saved my life 12 times by

doing this.

Get down!

It's falling!

Don't let them get away!

General!

Thanks to these Joseon bastards,

we finally won the battle today.

It was our honor to provide

assistance.

Very well. The Crown Prince

is waiting for us.

We should hurry.

Is that a**hole the governor

from Pyongan Province?

We're like this because of that

royal ass kisser.

There are a lot of Joseon people

here like this.

But he's a Joseon official.

How is this possible?

They randomly search and

arrest anybody in Joseon.

They claim you're an escaped

slave and sell you to the Qing

Dynasty.

As the Governor,

he doesn't bother to protect

his own people,

but instead, he sells his people

to stuff his pockets.

God has no eyes! F***ing traitor.

Let's all go back.

I think you know how to

survive.

With just a bit of courage, we

should be able to get home.

I don't want to get caught and

end up dying like an idiot.

Rather than dying here for

nothing,

I'd rather die trying to escape.

What is your name?

I'm Kim In Hong.

I'm a peasant with no

family name.

Just call me Bo Won.

What about you?

I'm Gyeon.

Gyeon? Puppy?

Our Young Master Kim In Hong,

after we get back to Joseon,

do you have any idea how we're

going to eat?

Idea?

I don't need any ideas.

Since I've already died here once,

the rest of my life will work

itself out.

I don't need to think too hard.

I just want to live comfortably.

Life is for living.

=A few years later...

Onyang Palace, Chungcheong-do=

With these looks, it's too bad

I have to do things like this.

Very beautiful.

What?

I wish I could take you with me,

darling.

Just a moment.

I'm about to turn the corner,

but I had to see your face

once more.

Thief! Thief!

Thief! Stop anyone who

looks suspicious!

He's disguised as a chamberlain.

Hurry and catch him!

Yes!

Stop!

Catch him!

- Catch him!

- That way!

He's not in the corridors!

Search the rooms!

Your Majesty!

There's too much commotion.

Settle things down immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I'd like to be alone.

Leave now.

But, Your Majesty...

a small incident has occurred

in the palace just now...

Am I the cause of this small

incident?

Of course not, Your Majesty.

Then you may leave me.

But, Your Majesty... your voice...

What about my voice?

It seems a bit different.

You hear my voice every day,

and suddenly you say it's a

bit different.

How can my Chamberlains

be so confused?

How can I be expected to put

up with this?

Your Majesty, it is your servant,

Sang Seon.

All of your servants will obey

and uphold the rules.

You don't need to be concerned.

Wait. What is he talking about?

Catch him! Catch him!

Your Majesty!

I finally caught you, you scum.

What...?

He's a criminal wanted by the

Ministry of Justice.

He has committed fraud and

theft throughout the 8 provinces.

Master of Lies.

Where are you touching?

You even dare to steal gold

from the state treasury.

You've really lost your mind.

I just wanted to be famous.

Why?

Quickly take this back to the

Palace.

I'm taking him to the Ministry

of Justice for interrogation.

Yes.

Let's hurry back.

Yes.

Say, Chief Lieutenant.

What is it?

Do you really need to be

so rough?

I got carried away.

Sorry.

Aren't gold ingots supposed to

be square shaped?

These seem a bit off.

Damn it!

Hyeongnim, you're just too

short and fat.

A donkey would suit you better.

It's this horse. This horse

is too tall.

Stop there!

-=Hanyang, Ministry of Justice=-

Kim In Hong.

Alias Master of Lies.

The Master of Lies gang has

run rampant in recent years,

also the perpetrators of the

incident at Onyang Palace.

They were in disguise, but even

without a good description,

we're still quite certain.

A slender, handsome young man

and a short, fat older man.

Then why are they called

"Master of Lies?"

Hamheung in Hamgyeong.

I wonder how you managed to

catch such a rare thing?

It wasn't caught.

It was sent from Heaven.

It was... on Mount Baekdu.

There in a most dangerous place.

The crater of the volcano.

Several days ago in the night.

It suddenly appeared.

Riding a moonbeam.

It was amazing good fortune.

Fearing we might damage

even one precious feather,

we spent 3 days and 3 nights

very carefully bringing it here.

A genuine phoenix.

This. This...

Is it really... a phoenix?

Yes. It's a gift for the Qing

Dynasty emperor.

We thought we'd let you feast

your eyes as we passed by.

How much do you want for it?

With a chicken disguised

as a phoenix,

which they sold for 3000 nyang,

they began their exploits.

We're very sorry, but we

have no time to waste.

Even though it's hard to leave,

we must keep moving.

Farewell.

Oh no, my phoenix!

Gyeongsang-do,

Gyeongi Province...

Namo Amitabha.

They deceived families, women,

children, grandchildren...

For 10,000 nyang, they sold the

Cheomseongdae observatory.

Naju in Jeolla Province...

Damn. This is killing my back.
