The Best 'Mr. Queen' Kdrama Quotes That Will Always Be in Your Heart

Episode 5 begins with:

Bong Hwan (voiceover): This world is similar to a minefield of weakness for ordinary people. We become one another’s weakness and drag everyone to hell. Even someone as perfect as me, Jang Bong Hwan, has a weakness. I cannot bear some other guy looking cooler than me. Especially when it is in front of a woman I am interested in. I need to look the best, or I am not satisfied. You could say it is the only weakness of someone who is so perfect.

And ends with:

Bong Hwan (voiceover): There was an immortal being called Achilles. But the heel was his only vulnerable spot. They say he died when an arrow struck that heel. That is the origin of the expression, “Achilles’ heel.” The actual reason for his death is that there was no artisan to make armor boots for him. If we did not have a weakness, we might not have needed each other. We are each other’s weaknesses, dragging each other to misery.

So Yong (voiceover): But we also make up for each other’s weaknesses and save each other.

Finally we meet after missing each other so many times. Those fleeting moments feel like an eternity, (Our King to our Queen)

How miraculous it is... that tomorrow comes every day? However, we do not realize it is a miracle until the day when tomorrow does not come. It is because we are foolish, and we only realize what is precious after we lose it.

I remember everything that you said to me. (Our King to So Bong)

Cheoljong told So Bong that he remembered everything she said to him, which turned out to be true. Remembering them, he even wrote down every single word, let it be insignificant or having been mentioned in passing.

- Is she [So Bong] making you waver?
- Our King: Yes. She is. She risked her life to save her husband, who had tried to kill her, as well as the woman her husband is in love with. Not because she is boundlessly merciful, and not because she has forgiven me. She did it because she could not turn away from the truth. She never even expected me to apologize or thank her. She quietly did what she thought was right for justice's sake, and this crisis has befallen her now. So how could I not waver?

It is always you. I even see you in my dreams! (So Bong to Our King)

Life is hard even if you live off your own pride.

Our King: No matter how much I think about it, I do not want to be born again.
So Bong: No wonder. If you pour so much into this life, you would not want to be born again. It’s okay even if it’s hard. I know you are trying hard. I know you are trying so hard not to crumble. Still, I want you to be reborn. I’ have learned something from living a second life. Trivial things that I would probably regret... if I had not known about them. Our King: Right. I would have regretted it so much... if my life ended without meeting... such a strange person like you.

People are afraid of darkness. So they try to chase it away by lighting it up with light. But the stronger the light is, the darker the shadow is.

So Bong: Cheoljong ah. Are you dead? I do not know how to get home.
Our King: I thought you came back because you were worried about me. Did you come back here because you cannot find your way home?

:D :D :D

So Bong: Hold on. You heard me when I said I would betray you?
Our King: Ah.
So Bong: You said you had lost your hearing. Was that a lie? Do not tell me... did you orchestrate the explosion, too?
Our King: I did lose my hearing temporarily. It just so happened to come back when you were saying that.
So Bong: Are you crazy? You nearly died!
Our King: My Queen...
So Bong: Did you have to do something so dangerous?
Our King (tenderly hugged So Bong)

So Bong: I had no choice because without you at the palace, it felt like a blackout. Everywhere I turned was dark. Well, let me explain what a blackout is.
Our King: You do not have to explain it. I know how you feel. I felt the same way. I missed you.

So Bong: No way. Are you jealous? That is cute.
Our King: Cute?
(Leaning towards So Bong...)
Our King: Yes. I am jealous.
(Getting closer and closer to So Bong...)
Our King: You are not public property. I do not want anyone else to call you "my dear Queen" or even "my sister." ... Do you still find me cute?

So you are saying you have a very valid reason why you are trying to kill this woman? Is that it? Stop kidding yourself. Whether it is because I heard something or because you are madly in love with another woman, there is only one reason why you would kill me. It is because I am weaker than you. You would not have been able to attack me if I were stronger. It is because I am easy to kill! It is because I am weaker than you. That is the real reason. Here. Try again. Prove that you are just a murderer who would kill a weak person. (So Bong to Our King)

Special Director Hong: In my next life, please let me be born as a stone.

Why did you do that? You did it in order to accumulate property to fill your storehouse. You sold your only daughter to satisfy your greed.... Why did you always tell me to become the Queen and the pride of the family? Why did you tell me that I can do anything if I become the Queen? To me who was struggling with the guilt about my mother’s death, why did you keep saying your dream? (Our Queen spoke her heart out to her father)

Why do not we make a hand signal that only we know? Like this. “what I am saying right now is a lie.” That is what it means.

Wow... Our King did remember everything So Bong told him.

Victim playing is scary. Because you are slowly turning into a monster every day, without even realizing it.
