The Last Princess

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

Good morning, Department Head.
Welcome.
Good morning.
Reporter Lee, I haven't
seen many reports lately.
Look this over.
Oh, sure.
Thank you, Department Head.
Welcome.
Welcome, Department Head Kim.
The new government will
promote the 6th Korea-Japan talks.
Department Head, it's Japan.
Please transfer the call to
the Department Head's desk.
The call is transferred.
We found her!
We found the princess.
Did you hear me?
Where is she living?
I understand. We'll talk later.
Has she been found?
That's great!
Then you should go on the trip
this time instead of me.
Thank you.
Have a drink.
My child.
There will be a lot of good things in the New Year.
(GOJONG, THE EMPEROR GWANGMU)
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, we will shoot on
the count of 3.
One. Two. Three.
(1919 DEOKSUGUNG PALACE)
Agassi! Agassi! Agassi!...
[young lady]
Your Majesty, the news of your
disapproval of this union
seems to have reached the ears
of the Emperor of Japan.
And so?
We will arrange a date to travel
to Japan.
Telling me I should go kneel down,
can you still be considered one
of my subjects?
Can you still be considered one
of my subjects?
I am now...
(LEE WAN YONG, PRIME MINISTER)
Your Majesty's subject.
Your Majesty's subject.
I do not approve of a union
between Joseon and Japan.
This is for the sake of our people
and our country.
Under the rule of Japan, Joseon will
become even more rich and powerful.
Yes, it is possible everyone will
prosper.
You 150,000. You 100,000.
Wan Yong, are you the second
or third wealthiest in Joseon?
Even if you desire nothing but
personal gain,
do you have nothing to sell
but your country?
You rotten fellows will leave
a dirty stain on our history!
Father!
Agassi, you cannot!
Please let me hide behind you.
Okay, my child.
I heard you sent a secret envoy to
the International Peace Conference.
That was stupid.
Please apologize to the Emperor
of Japan, Your Majesty.
Even if I die, something like that
will never happen.
Disrespectful fellow. Move out
of the way.
He said he was leaving for
Shanghai tonight, right?
Yes, Your Majesty.
After meeting Mr. Wu Dang, he
will convey your decision.
This will be our last chance,
so please be careful.
Yes.
Did you call my nephew to
come here?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let him in.
Yes.
Come a bit closer.
You're quite handsome.
Who is this?
"Jang" meaning seal.
"Han" meaning endurance.
I am Kim Jang Han.
Jang meaning seal.
Han meaning endurance.
Your name is Jang Han?
Yes, Your Majesty.
You are the second son
of General Kim Hwang
Ah, head of the Manchurian
Restoration Army.
The death of your father must
have been a great blow to you.
Since you have taken care of me
like a father,
it has given me a lot of comfort.
Then why have you rejected
becoming my son-in-law?
To continue my late father's wishes, I
plan to join the independence movement.
I was thinking of retreating
to Shanghai.
Now the whole world will know what
things the Japanese have done.
But if things don't go well, I don't
know what may happen to the princess.
I would like for you to protect my princess
well, so she won't be killed by the Japanese.
Despite your young age,
I have decided it would be best for you
and Princess Deok Hye to be married.
Your Majesty, I have brought
your cinnamon punch.
Come in.
Father!
Father, look at this!
This is the painting I made.
