Get the royal physician!

Physician! Physician!

I order you to exterminate

storks from our land at once.

Do you understand?

Yes, Your Highness!

The king began to suffer from

apparitions and insomnia,

it was said that this was

due to heavy blood loss.

It was unlike of Soong-jae

to miss this chance.

Your Highness.

How do you feel?

What do you think of the sun?

It is brilliantly radiant,

and all encompassing...

Just like Your Highness.

Then, like the sun, do I...

encompass all of Joseon?

If you grace women of

Joseon with your light,

it will rid of their shadows

and cure Your Highness.

What nonsense, when His Highness is ill.

There is no shame in

pursuing carnal desires.

I'll bring you a millennium of

pleasures for one night!

My baby.

It is my duty to select

the girls for the king.

I know my baby's taste the best.

I will handpick the girls

for my baby's liking,

so why don't you allow me...

I have plans,

so set your worries

aside, and help me sleep.

What plans?

Your Highness, Minister IM has arrived.

Let him in!

Just in time, I've been curious.

Here is the list of candidates.

They say your life flashes

before you when facing death.

Do you know what I saw at that moment?

I saw the look of those

who wished for my death.

I cannot forget the

anticipation on their faces.

They'll hide their teeth

and wait for their time.

If their teeth are hidden

behind their lips,

why not sew them shut for good?

I've been holding banquets

despite difficult circumstances,

to seek those who could bear me an heir.

I realized I should have searched farther.

Ergo, I order a nationwide

beauty recruiting.

They'll be called 'comforters',

and live up to that name.

Therefore, Minister IM Soong-jae,

and Minister of Defense IM Sa-hong

are given full royal authority

as 'Beauty Recruit Officers'!

We are eternally grateful, Your Highness.

It's a sunny place

and a prime spot to watch the sunset.

I was saving it for a gazebo,

but I hope you like it.

It's good enough for a palace!

Palace? Nice!

How would we solicit

to change king's orders?

We cannot accept this.

Sir...

- Out of my way!

- Minister YU...

Consort JANG must be desperate.

But you didn't need to be so cold.

We cannot ignore her.

Thought the candidates

were chosen at random?

Those who looked down on us

will beg for their lives.

The strong gets to pick,

the weak gets picked.

One more drink, please?

- Come here, b*tch!

- Minister PARK, it's not our room!

I didn't realize the loyal subjects

who work tirelessly for the

king's virility were here.

Excuse me.

As if all your scheming and

pimping weren't enough,

now you'll scrounge every

virgin for his pleasure?
