Queen for 7 Days

We can get married.
But it won’t be a political marriage.
I’m marrying you because I like you.

From now on no matter what anyone says, 
you are my person. 
Everything I do is to protect you.

Do as you like. For today, I am yours.

I’m different from you.

I will not hurt the person I love to become king.

How can I call myself a man 
if I can't even read the heart of the woman I love?

I will fool you more thoroughly now… 
because if you know the truth, you will suffer. 
You will be in danger

She knew, and she was carrying that bitter fate all alone. 
While I was pretending not to know so that she wouldn’t be hurt, 
she was in pain alone.

Lady Shin.
You have done no wrong in keeping a happy family as my wife.

Now I have become a king of a country.
Since you are already my spouse, I must bestow you a fitting title.

I proclaim you as the Queen. Do not forget your virtue.
You shall be respected within your family and your country.
You shall be honored.

When you call my name, my heart melts. I am fooled.

After discovering the betrayal of the one I love, 
for the first time, 
I have come to face the real world that I never knew.

This place is the Queen's home.

I... am just Shin Chae Gyeong.

I’m just a woman who wanted to live an ordinary life.

But given that we met and loved, we must take responsibility for that.

In this life, I will protect that love with my death, 
If I am reborn, I will never meet you, Your Majesty.

This is where we end, Your Majesty.

It’s because I know this isn’t the life you wanted. 
Because I can’t do any of the things I want to do for you.

We do not have to be together. 
But if we love each other, 
staying alive itself is the proof that we love each other.

Yeok: From now on, each of my days will be spent loving and missing you.

To love and miss you more, I will live on.


                Chae-Gyeong: And so, in order to protect each other, we find our own way.

38 years later…


Chae-Gyeong: Now, I will be by your side, my husband.
So please rest at ease at home now.
 

Yeok: Now I’ve finally come home.

I pine for you. I admire you. I love you, my husband.
