Good morning. I'm not late today, am I?
No, Your Highness.
You're 10 minutes early.
You didn't sleep, did you?
How did you know?
I can tell just by looking at you. You look like a rabbit.
Really? Are my eyes that red?
Does it look bad?
What are you doing?
His Highness is tasting His Majesty's food to check for safety.
Really?
Why? To check for poison?
That means Shin's been doing that for the past 10 years.
It's an expression of filial duty.
So every morning for 10 years that arrogant jerk has been doing this?
Shocking.
Hey!
I didn't know a place like this existed. It's so cool.
I feel like Alice in Wonderland.
I bet you can find treasure here.
Flowers fill the garden with scent and flowers' scent fills the garden.
It's the same forwards and backwards.
This is mad awesome.
Shame on you.
Where has your dignity gone?
What did you say?
Remember what I said?
You need a makeover if you want to live here.
What does that have to do with anything?
What I said before. It's from Hamlet.
Hamlet?
Artists don't learn about plays?
What are you trying to say?
You may have artistic talent
but your intelligence is otherwise lacking.
Okay, so you haven't read Shakespeare.
You're still grossly uncultured.
Lacking? Uncultured?
Are you serious?
Does a cultured person treat his wife the way you did yesterday?
You planned it all, didn't you?
You invited Hyo Rin and your gold star buddies to make me look stupid.
If you like her so much, you should've done whatever you could to marry her.
Why'd you have to make such a mess of things? You're such a coward.
What?
What did you just say?
I called you a disgraceful coward. What are you going to do about it?
Listen carefully.
We're two wretched fools who can't make each other happy.
However...
Get ready because the adults are waiting for us to taste tea with them.
Tea tasting?
Man, he's scary.
Is this your first time tasting white lotus flower tea?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I've never seen or heard of such a tea before.
It's very interesting.
The book "Cha Jing" says
that tea is for those of high and noble character.
Let us take part in this noble custom
and breathe in the fragrant scent.
60 years of marriage pass in a flash
but the spring peach tree is the same.
Since we were reunited after parting,
split a gourd between our descendants.
100 years on Earth is dizzying
but all things flow unhurriedly.
Flowers fill the garden with scent...
And flowers' scent fills the garden.
Why is the Crown Princess running?
What is the matter?
Crown Prince.
Yes, Queen Dowager.
She is advancing in her studies daily.
Teach her Gyeokbang. It would be nice to play together.
Teach her according to palace customs.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Thanks for last time.
What?
Flowers fill the garden with scent and flowers' scent fills the garden.
Stop talking crazy.
What are you saying?
Our friend is slowly turning into a foreigner.
Stop speaking alien. Let's go to eat. I'm hungry.
Yeah. I want spicy rice cakes.
If it's free, I'm in.
Sorry, my mistake.
What do you mean alien language?
It's used to refer to internet lingo.
If it's hard to understand, then...
It's hard to explain...
What I mean is...
Anyway, you'll pick it up.
I think you need some lessons in adaptation.
Hello.
One roll please.
One roll and one order of spicy rice cakes.
It takes too long to say.
One roll spice for short.
One roll. One order of spicy rice cakes.
One roll spice for short.
Exactly. What if you want one order each of dumplings and rice cakes?
Dumplings and spicy rice cakes.
One dumpling spice?
Bingo. Good job.
You learn quickly.
Hey, you're good. Okay, next step.
If you do this, it's clean even though you didn't wash it.
Isn't it cool?
Here's how you cut gym and study hall.
Open your eyes wide.
Keep going.
Now your eyes are red, right?
Now you have pink eye.
If you have a balloon, blow it up. Then your face turns all red.
And this is really commonly used.
Guys, hurry up and make fun of me.
Shut up, Chae Gyeong. You tone deaf freak.
Yeah, stop acting like you're all that because you're the Crown Princess.
Right back at you!
What are you a super senior?
Why are you being so cheesy?
Right back at you, Gang Hyeon!
Yul, my boy.
Take a walk with your grandmother.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty! Are you okay?
Does your back hurt?
I'm okay.
I'm fine. It's nothing.
Your Majesty, are you well?
Yes. Are you well, Prince Ui Seong?
Your Majesty, you need to choose the award recipient for this year's art.
Let's discuss it now.
Ui Seong, please join us.
If it's related to art, Ui Seong can help us.
This is wonderful.
I admired his works before.
But your insight and knowledge is enlightening.
Yes. Mother is very interested in woodworking.
I see.
The Queen's suggestions and Ui Seong's advice are sound. This one.
Yes, Your Majesty. As you wish.
Gyeokbang is like golf and has been played here since the Joseon Dynasty.
You hit a wooden ball called a "Gu" into holes called "Wa."
The person who finishes the course first, wins.
I get it.
It really is like golf.
Yes, Your Highness. You could say it's the original form of golf.
It was popular in the 15th century.
It is spoken of in several royal records.
Historically, it was played a couple of centuries before golf was invented.
Nice shot, Your Highness.
Now you try.
Me?
Come here. Stand here.
Feet shoulder width apart.
Closer.
Back straight, butt out.
Bend your knees a little.
Are you digging for something?
Your tea is getting cold.
What are you looking at so intensely?
The youthful vigor of the kids.
The entire country looks up to you
but that is one thing you don't have.
The spirit and energy in their youthful movements.
This is true.
What is it that makes even the worst memories of youth seem beautiful?
That's just the way it is with the memories that remain with us.
You're supposed to hit it outside the door. That way.
Your Highness, you can do it!
Good shot.
- Nice shot. - Nice shot.
Who?
Good shot.
Was it my ball? Really?
Hey, Yul!
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
You said you'd teach me how to play Gyeokgu.
Oh, right, I did.
Let's go then.
Now? I can wait until you're done.
I was getting bored anyway.
You can finish up the lesson.
At the very least, make sure she gets the basic form down.
Yes, Your Highness.
Let's go.
Block the clubs, but hit a horse or a player and you're disqualified.
When running with the ball in front, protect yourself and your horse first.
Then, it all depends on how well you whip the club around.
That's the core of Gyeokgu.
Do you want to give it a shot?
Let's go back.
We didn't even have a decent meeting because Shin left early.
Okay. I'll call Seoul Club later.
Thank goodness I was placed in Chae Gyeong's class.
She helped me adjust to being in a new school and make new friends.
Hey, you should watch what you call her.
It's fine between us
but don't call her by name in front of the adults.
Especially Her Majesty.
Boo...
My mom actually pointed that out a few times already.
Okay. I'll be careful.
Thanks. Want to try it again?
Okay.
(Princess Hours)
The century's greatest artists have gathered at the Royal Art Museum.
Hey, it's Piggy!
Dad!
- Where? Where? - Mom! Hurry up and come look.
Come on, honey!
Oh, my goodness.
Our Princess has gotten so pretty.
The palace water must be doing her good.
Look at that plucking. She must've practiced a lot.
She's pretty good.
Hey, Piggy has a mask on!
What do you mean mask? That's just a little powder.
Anyway, there's stuff on her face.
All that is costume and lighting. Blech!
The Royal Family is sponsoring an art exhibition of foreign masterpieces.
Shin and I are attending the ribbon cutting ceremony.
I get to be a guest of honor at events I used to watch on TV.
As an art major, this is really big.
I'm already excited.
Your Highness, since this is your first public appearance since the wedding,
you need to give the photojournalists some time to take pictures.
Put that hand down. Stop being so immature.
You can't take a picture without doing this.
What do you think you're doing?
Are you okay?
Your Highness! We must escort him quickly.
What are the Crown Prince's bodyguards doing?
How could they allow him to be hit with an egg as the nation watches?
My deepest apologies, Your Majesty.
Limiting the number of bodyguards to 3 people must have left a gap.
The Prime Minister himself is personally investigating the matter.
We've doubled His Highness' security
and are doing everything we can.
He is safe in the palace
but he is not allowing anybody in to see him.
I see. Leave me.
Yes, Your Highness.
Did the Crown Princess really block the egg with her own hand?
Yes, Your Majesty.
How did this happen?
We need to find out who did this.
The Prime Minister will find out soon.
It's almost time for the ceremony of greetings for married royalty..
You must take care to ensure the Crown Prince's safety.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Public opinion is of the same mind as the Crown Prince's political views.
What do we do?
Things are not going as planned.
No. I think we can be satisfied with the current state of things.
It may be in his favor now
but as the egg incident and netizens' responses show, there is opposition.
There is also a lot of talk.
Whether a brat like him has the right to ascend to the throne.
In any case.
The Prime Minister is personally looking for the egg thrower.
There won't be a problem, will there?
Don't you know me by now?
You don't have to worry.
If they catch whoever did it, whoever it is, is dead meat.
He must've been so shocked.
I can't take it.
I need to see for myself if he's okay.
It's probably better if you don't go.
Think about his pride.
He grew up without hearing a single thing he didn't want to.
Think of the shock of being egged live on TV.
I was going to go see him but decided against it.
I went but he refused to see me.
Really?
It's best to leave him alone for now.
But I can't forget it.
The expression on his face when he got hit.
He didn't seem mad.
It was an otherworldly expression.
The second I said that, something cracked inside me.
Something like...
You feel lonely, don't you?
You hide it well.
But I know you don't feel as happy as you look.
Hang in there.
Thanks.
I have to go see him.
I don't care if he kicks me out.
I need to see for myself whether he's okay or not.
He's just going to get angrier.
Maybe if Hyo Rin went...
I'm not sure what he's thinking,
but I'm his wife.
He must at least be a little hurt
and I should be next to him.
Where are these tears coming from?
Are you going somewhere?
Are you crying?
Is your face okay?
Of course.
No one dies from getting hit by a couple eggs.
That's good. I thought you were...
It was a first, so I was surprised.
And everyone around me was being so careful not to annoy me.
Well, you know that thing you do?
Butt in at the most inappropriate times?
I was kind of hoping you'd do that.
I think it would've helped.
And what were you doing giggling with my cousin in front of the guards?
I guess I'll just go out with the equestrian club.
I'm sorry.
After a good old time with my cousin,
I guess you're not completely heartless.
What?
That's why you got hit with an egg. You omelet-faced jerk.
Whatever.
These are the stables?
It's like a different world.
I didn't know Korea had a place like this.
I want to be alone. Go back to the palace.
What?
Fine...
We'll leave now, Your Highness.
Okay.
Actually, take me to school.
Hey, His Highness has arrived.
Look at Hwan Yi sleeping.
That guy can sleep anywhere.
What if the ugly duckling really turns into a swan?
It's not that easy.
She's a commoner, through and through.
There is one way.
Reincarnation. Rebirth.
Young rich dudes!
What do you have to do to go from 2nd to 1st class?
Be reborn. Be reincarnated.
Go back home and look at your calendars.
It's 2006.
I guess you didn't like hearing them make fun of your wife.
I know you don't like rich kids who live recklessly.
It's kids like that who give other kids a bad rep these days.
But this is too much.
I won't stand for it.
A girl that poses with a peace sign every time there's a camera.
It's so common and immature.
I'm not saying I have to be the one next to you.
But I can't stand that a girl like her is. She doesn't deserve you.
I can't accept it!
Why don't you practice a little more?
Do you just want to leave?
Nice car.
Ladies! These are my friends!
Sure. Don't worry about it.
Hwa Yeong.
Yes, we'll talk again soon.
Hwa Yeong. Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's smaller than I thought it'd be.
It's not to make money. It's just a hobby.
This is the girl who was with me
when we met last time, remember?
She's following in your footsteps.
She won the grand prize at the La Fontaine International Competition.
You won it in high school too, remember?
Really? Where was it this year?
The location changes every year, right?
Bangkok. Bangkok, Thailand.
I see. Belated congratulations.
Thank you.
Congratulations on your opening.
They're so pretty. Thank you.
You're pretty too. I thought you were a celebrity.
You're right. There's no doubt about it.
You said you've seen her before?
Yes, I met her as Yul's friend.
I didn't even think it might be her.
Strange how things turn out...
Knees and legs together. Slowly.
Exhale.
Your pelvis is slightly twisted.
How did you know?
Ballet dancers need to be fully aware of their bodies.
You don't know your body well enough.
You're flexible but not sensitive.
We need to fix your posture. I guess we'll be seeing each other often.
Yes. I'll work hard.
Seeing you makes me think of when I was younger.
I gave up ballet when I became Crown Princess.
I was your age.
It would've been nice if someone like you had become the Crown Princess.
It would have fit you so well.
They made a rash decision.
This is just my opinion.
Why are you here on a Sunday?
To hang out with you guys.
I like your hat. Can I try it on?
I like your gloves. They're so elegant and luxurious.
Your Highness, did you know you're the top search term on the internet?
What do you mean?
You have a fan club with over 100,000 members.
10,000 joined today.
Know what it's called? Cinderella Chae Gyeong.
Nice. Do they have meetings?
Don't get too excited.
There are 50,000 in your hate club.
Hate? What did I do wrong anyway?
There are 2 reasons why hate clubs form.
Number 1. Indiscreet behavior.
Number 2. Plain old hatred of the person.
What?
Then which one am I?
Why do they hate me?
You're a commoner who married a prince.
- That's right. - Boo.
Be careful! If you don't get them to like you, it's your funeral.
What did I do to deserve this? Why should I do that?
Anyway, I'm going to live life my way.
I'm not scared of any hate club.
Your Highness, it is time to return to the palace.
I want to stay longer...
Here is your luxurious hat.
And your expensive gloves.
It's okay, you guys can have them.
- Seriously? - Seriously?
You just made their days.
I don't want this.
Keep it.
Thanks, Chae Gyeong.
Come back soon.
Bye, scary bodyguard ladies.
Your Majesty.
Is something wrong?
News about Hwa Yeong.
What about her?
She opened a yoga school and today was the opening day.
You found that out now?
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
What with relations the way they are and the secrecy of the affair...
You should have brought her to the palace earlier.
Why is she hiding herself?
You look fabulous.
Not everyone can pull this off. But you do, wonderfully.
Hello. You look great.
It turned out so well.
Please redo it.
Redo it?
I don't want to look done up.
Today's party is for Royal Families from each country under a monarchy.
It's for all the married Crown Princes and Crown Princesses to meet.
Shin and I are, of course, the guests of honor.
Major media reps are going to be there
and Shin and I will be center stage.
I'm so nervous.
I told you to be careful.
Okay already, jerk.
It's Jeong Hwa Yeong.
Please forgive me for not contacting you until now, Your Majesty.
Crown Princess.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Old habits die hard.
I'm glad I got to see you before I died.
Isn't it wonderful that we're all together at this new beginning?
If my late husband was alive...
He would be very pleased to see this.
Why did she come back at this time?
She and Prince Ui Seong couldn't be expected to live in England forever.
She was quiet for 14 years
and then decides to appear when you're sick.
Not only that but at the first public introduction of the new couple.
She's acting as if she's the guest of honor.
I don't want to.
Get up right now.
It was an unfortunate situation we could do nothing about.
Let's forget about the past and just think about the future.
Ui Seong told me your back has been hurting.
All the doctors say I'm fine but the pain keeps getting worse.
It could be something wrong with your spine.
Have you experienced any vertigo or other symptoms?
I haven't said anything because His Majesty has not been well.
Then the marriage was sped up because of His Majesty's health?
You could say that.
In any case, I was about to try to get some exercise.
Why don't you try yoga?
Yoga?
Isn't it pretty?
My shoe!
(Princess Hours)
Hey.
Hold still for a second.
Turn around.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
There are two of us but only one bed.
What are you taking your clothes off for?
Your Highness, are you okay?
Hey, Yul, are you okay?
Get out!
Welcome.
The new Crown Princess will be helping in this matter.
Hello. I prepared a special gift when I heard you two were coming.
Get him out! Hurry!
Hey!
What if I end up jumping him?
