Sir! Sir!
I finally... finally...
have hope to return to the palace!
I'm going to be a physician I'll be a physician!
The court trains chosen physicians from regional offices
I can stay in the palace if I'm good
Yes. I know that system Yes. I'll return to the palace
Then, I'll... Then, I'll... Take revenge on the ones who did this!
(Episode 30)
I want to learn about medicine
Please teach me
That's why I brought you here
Excuse me?
You said you wanted to go back
Being a physician is the only way for a maidservant to go to the palace
That's why I brought you here You seem obedient now... so learn
You don't even know my story or reasons
Why did you want to send me back?
None of your business I just...
Stop mumbling and just write down the color of the patients' faces
The color of their faces?
That's right. Write down whether it's pale, red, brown, white or black
Write down which part of the face is so...
And write down any abnormalities you see...
in their nails or toenails
Sure
What? You're so bad
What do you mean? It took me 5 years to sit in this room
How could you start teaching some witch who just came in?
Yes. You didn't make her pick ingredients or clean patients
Does she know about medicine or how to look at a sick person?
What's this? I'm asking, what's this? You girls don't know either?
What's this? You don't know?
It's tetragonia
What is it good for?
It grows on seashores and it's good for stomach illnesses
You can also eat it as food
Satisfied?
I do accept her knowledge of medicine...
but you told us that the attitude towards the patient is...
The attitude... I'm glad you brought that up
She spent her own money to prepare medicine
And she knew the medicine shouldn't be prepared with salt water
She climbed the mountain to get fresh water
You couldn't be bothered to go there, so you prepared...
medicine with salt water from the local well
But... I told you so many times that...
medicinal lilies can damage the heart
but you failed to remove the core But they were small mistakes...
One may get holes in their hearts because of your mistakes!
Be quiet. I just pick those with potential and only teach them
That's me. Got that? But even so, we have more experience
Experience is something she can build and...
I find Jang-Geum's experience much more valuable!
Anyhow, be quiet now and if you utter such words again before me...
I'll kick you out of here! Get out!
I can't teach anyone who doesn't understand me
Do you understand? Yes
She's so bad... This is so unfair!
Why are you pouting?
How can she do this? What?
How can she favor that servant who tried to run away so much?
You mean Jang-Geum?
Yes. She has put us aside when we have worked for over 5 years...
and put Jang-Geum right next to her
And Jang-Geum listens to Jang-Duk? She gave in and asked her to teach her
Really? Really?
Did you write it all down? Yes
Let me see it Is this how you write them?
There are five facial colors:
Blue, red, yellow, white and black
Blue can mean gout, extravasated blood or convulsions
It can be detected by observing the face, skin, nails and lips
If it's red, the patient has a fever
Severe symptoms signify high temperature
and mild symptoms signify low energy
When the person has serious symptoms...
the face looks red including the eyes, lips and tongue
With mild symptoms only the cheek area looks red
You memorized it all, right? Huh?
Memorize them all
How could I... and it's the first time so I can't even understand them all
I don't speak twice
From now on, memorize as soon as you hear me
Memorize everything by tomorrow
Yellow means weakened immune system, bacterial infection, jaundice
White means weakened immune system, hemorrhage, exhaustion
Black means weakened lower organs, prolonged pain, internal bleeding...
What are you looking at?!
I should be studying faces...
What are you looking at?
How dare you, a mere servant, look at my face?!
I'm sorry. The physician gave me an assignment...
Even so, that's the easiest way to get beaten!
What is it?
This nurse will look at your face and determine your health condition
So show her your face while you take your food. Understand?
What's your name? It's Hong Mak-Dol
OK, thank you
What's your name? It's Han-Dol
OK, thank you
What? You're so pretty
Huh? Never mind
What's your name? It's Dol-Swe
I'm making requests even in Jeju
How can showing the soldiers' faces be work?
Besides you're checking the soldier's health
It's my duty to care for their health
The physician lady is so unique, she makes everyone's head spin
Maybe that's better for now
But how could you do that? Huh?
You checked all the soldiers but how come you aren't checking me?
Please go ahead OK
How is it?
You're red
Red means you have a fever
I do have a fever
White means weakened immune system, hemorrhage, exhaustion
Black means weakened lower organs, prolonged pain, internal bleeding
If it's red, the patient has a fever
Severe symptoms signify high temperature
and mild symptoms signify low energy
When the person has serious symptoms
the whole face looks red including the eyes, lips and tongue
With mild symptoms only the cheek area looks red
How is he? Huh?
Don't look at me
OK... he's kind of red
What is it?
He is so red, he seems to have a high fever
Since his forehead is red, he may be sick due to pent-up anger
Next
Her face and eyes are yellow
It could be weakened immune system, bacterial infection or jaundice
This person has jaundice What can you tell me about that?
Jaundice is caused by viruses affecting both liver & gall so bile can't flow OK
Clear yellow is positive and dark yellow is negative for jaundice
Next
What illness does she have?
The nose, eyebrows, lip areas are blue
It's written it could be caused by irregular blood flow...
and thinning of the vessels
It's a symptom before paralysis
Looking at the face is only one of the ways to diagnose a patient
It is not absolute
These are basic medical books Read them all
What? All of these? Why?
Oh, never mind... I'll ask if I have any questions
Just read it all... And memorize everything you read
All of these?
Yes, all of them Don't leave out a single line
But... Stop talking back
Just memorize everything first
You'll understand once you know what I'm saying
You will value the experience with the patients
But don't I have to understand what I'm memorizing?
You don't have to understand
Huh?
You'll understand later once you memorize everything
Hey! What are you doing?!
How dare you do such things not knowing that the King is walking by?
Besides, this is a gift pet from China for the King!
It's alright
I'm sorry, Your Majesty
You must've cried
Why were you crying?
Tell him quickly!
He is asking you a question!
Tell him quickly!
That's enough She must have her reasons
Let's go
What?! Yeun-Seng...?! Yes, that's right
Did you... for real?! What?
I heard you were crying not knowing that the King was passing by!
Yes
It's big trouble!
Why?
Do you know what that dog is?! You idiot!
Lady Choi will send us away again when she finds out about this
My life is so miserable because of you!
I'm already sad being here, so where could we go from here?!
Why did you touch that dog anyway?
Now that everyone has found their place our businesses are flourishing
Yes...
Sir Oh is having a good time, too
By the way, is Sa-Ryun doing well? Yes, Keum-Young is training her well
OK. She'll take Keum-Young's place later
Do I really have to do this? Can't I just learn to cook?
No, you can learn to cook later
It's important to learn the basics about food first
Learning how things taste and how things combine to make taste...
and which ingredients don't make a good combination
I'm going to learn from the beginning while training you...
and we'll even read medicinal books if we have to
So trust me and try boiling, steaming or frying the grains...
so we can find out how the methods change the taste. Get ready
What were you doing?!
I don't even want to think about them!
So why should we follow their method?! What do we lack?!
We have...
Iost
Lost?! Who did?! Who's sitting in this position?
The person who has obtained this position has won!
We didn't win with our talent
Except for once when Jang-Geum made a mistake...
we lost 3 out of 4 rounds
And every time we lost because of their passion towards food, not taste
Keum-Young!
If we hadn't lost, we didn't have to be that harsh with them
We didn't even need such schemes if we had won with our talent
I'm going to start over
What you have learned through the competition is wrong
The lesson we must learn is that we need more power!
If we had greater power a mere court lady like Lady Jung...
couldn't have started such nonsense!
We must have greater power so that this will never happen again
Madam
I'm going to obtain greater wealth and power than any of...
our ancestor Highest Court Ladies, so no one can look down on us again!
You should do the same
No, thank you
No?
You think the heart of Colonel Min which has gone to Jang-Geum...
will come back somehow?
Madam!
Colonel Min went all the way to Jeju for Jang-Geum
And you said you'll follow our family for saving Colonel Min's life
I'm going to That's why I'll start over
You're the one who put the family in danger
You have lost, Madam
I'm not going to lose
I'm going to be the best kitchen lady
You can't have his body, heart or will...
and you shouldn't
We'll start the training at 8 p.m. Tomorrow
I thought you'd be different from Lady Choi or Choi Pan-Sul...
even if you're from the same family
I thought you'd be different from those who send kidnappers to Lady Han...
and profited with Sir Oh Kyum-Ho I never thought of you that way
Hey!
Are you going to keep this up? Huh?
Shall we argue like before?
I can't stand this!
I'm the King's attendant lady
You're Yeun-Seng, right?
Follow me
First of all, you must not smile or reject his touch
No matter what he does you must not make a sound
We're clipping your nails to prevent any harm to his body
Wait here
Why were you crying?
It's OK. You can tell me
Even as a king, I feel lonely at times So I guess you feel so at times, too
Oh my... Then Young-Ro...?!
Yeah
Yeun... Yeun... Yeun-Seng!
Madam!
As you can see, Yeun-Seng has won the favor of the King
Until yesterday, she was a worker lady just like you
but now she has become a special lady
because of the King's favor You must show respect to her
Congratulations, ma'am
Congrats! Congrats! Congratulations!
Cool... Great
Yesterday, a kitchen lady... I heard of it already
Get her a separate place with furniture...
an attendant lady and a kitchen lady as well
Your Majesty, she's still a court lady Is this necessary?
Really? OK, then
Then you take care of it according to the customs
Yes, Your Majesty
It's so good here!
Isn't that right? The room is so big!
Yeun-Seng, as you've become a special lady...
Madam, how can you call her Yeun-Seng?
You have to show her respect
Please sit, ma'am
You think I can change that so quickly?
I did the right thing, eh?
Yeun-Seng, this is so good
You saw Lady Choi's face this morning, didn't you?
She was so harsh with us, but now, she has totally...
Yeun-Seng, let me be your attendant lady
Me, too... me, too
I can't have an attendant lady yet...
You will soon. Once you have a baby you'll become his concubine
That's right, his baby
Don't do that
What? Reality hasn't hit you yet, huh?
Now you've...
I'm scared Scared?
Yes... the King...
It's alright...
after a little while... it's like that
But I'm going to endure it even if it's scary
Of course, you must!
And I'm going to tell him What?
About Jang-Geum and Lady Han...
that they aren't people who would do such things! For sure!
No, Yeun-Seng! You must not!
Why not?
You must not do it! You can tell him everything else, but not that!
Why? Why not?
Idiot! They were guilty of treason! Treason!
Jang-Geum and Lady Han aren't people who would do such things!
I know that, of course
So why not?
Later... tell him much much later, OK?
Or even exiled Jang-Geum could be killed
Re... really?
Of course... so don't tell the King until I say it's OK. OK?
By the way, does Jang-Geum know that you've become a special lady?
It'd be good if Mr. Gang can send her the news
I know... I don't even see him at the Food Services these days
Don't do it that way! Move over... I'll do it
Don't you move so carelessly!
You just sit still on the warm spot
Then do it right OK, sure
I wonder why I'm craving strawberries all of a sudden...
Did you say strawberries in the middle of winter?
Why? You're going to get strawberries for me now?
Does it have to be strawberries? Not anything else?
I'm fine, but the baby keeps on...
OK... let me check if it's strawberries for sure
He says he wants pears
Then I'll go get strawberries
Sit still! I'll go get the strawberries
lfJang-Geum were here, I could ask her to make a strawberry dessert
I'll be in trouble for the next 2-3 months
Honey... you can't accept strawberry liquor, eh?
What is joy related to?
The heart
Next?
Anger, liver; worry, lungs; thought, blood; and sadness, lungs
One can feel sad if the liver becomes weak
Fear from the kidneys and the stomach Astonishment when the blood...
joins the energy of ying, and qi joins the energy of yang
You knew it but you got it wrong?
By mistake...
A mistake in cooking will only affect the taste
but a mistake in medicine will harm people
If you're going to memorize it, do it perfectly
or else you might as well not know it at all
Sure
You're sure you mean that?
Since she gave the books, she's been asking questions, whipping her everyday
I know...
If we had started learning, we would've died getting whipped by now
Jang-Geum does persevere well
She memorizes very well, too
What good is that when she gets whipped for each mistake...
Poor girl
Check their pulses Huh?
Check them
Tell me what you feel
It feels like pressing on a big green onion that's empty inside
How descriptive! That's the large pulse
You can feel it when they lost blood
She could've lost it by vomiting it or through excrements
She has vomited blood because of tuberculosis
It feels like pressing on a bow
That's the bow pulse
It happens when the qi converges but doesn't spread out
It also happens when there is a quick temperature change
When you feel it only on one side, it means the person has a stomachache
Symptoms also show on a child having a seizure
It's hard to diagnose and treat You memorized that, right?
It's that feeling...
I put paper on top of the broth to get rid of the grease...
and this feels like pressing on that paper
That's floating pulse
If it's strong then it's paralysis or else it's weakened immune system
You have talent for feeling with your fingertips
Find all pulse checking methods from the Chinese medicinal book
and memorize them all Sure
Hi Hello
He is diabetic. Check him
The pulse is thin and very fast
The thin pulse appears when he lacks bodily fluids
And he has a fever
What happened? Um...
Actually, there's a physician who came from Han-Yang at Halla Mountain
I heard his medicine was good, so...
Isn't this white ginseng?
Did I say I didn't know it's good...
and that's why I'm not using it? According to him...
I tried so hard to lower the heat in your body, but you didn't trust me
I don't see patients who don't trust me
Oh, no, it's not that... I told him that, too
But he told me this can be used for a person like me...
and it will be more effective for me
Ginseng is ginseng How can that make any sense?!
It's true. He said he has much heat but he's still eating it...
He's a fraud
He didn't seem like one, though
You'd think he'd have "fraud" written on his face?
But he's been healing a lot of people
What? Then he's already swindled lots of people out of their money?
Where is he?
I won't leave him alone!
Since Jeju is far away, he thinks people here don't know anything
Wait till I get a hold of these jerks who trick sick people!
Isn't he a physician?
Physician my foot! They try to sell cheap things at expensive prices...
telling people he's from Han-Yang
A merchant trying to make a profit This happens from time to time
Hey, jerk! Are you the one?! Huh?
You claims you're a physician from Han-Yang?
Oh, you mean, sir...
Sir my foot! Where is this jerk?! He's in the field...
How come that woman is so strong?
You jerk! You jerk...
Let go... Sir!
Jang-Geum!
How did you...? How about you?
How could that be? So a court lady of the kitchen became a servant?
So are you doing OK now?
Yes. Colonel Min is here as the high military officer and...
I'm learning from this teacher now
That gangster teaches you? Yes
What can she teach besides beating people up?
Never mind if I'm a gangster or not Let me ask you first
As an ex-Royal Physician, how could you use ginseng...
without considering a person's constitution?
I've worked so hard to change his constitution
Are you sure you know the basics?!
Follow me!
Look. This is fresh ginseng
It's hard to keep them that way
In time, its efficacy will greatly decrease as it dries up
But if you steam them like this and dry them again...
to make this red ginseng, the efficacy still remains
And steaming it removes the poison, so efficacy increases
And it doesn't cause any problem for people with much body heat
Is that true? How did you find that out?
I had to take ginseng some time ago
but since I had a lot of body heat, it was hard for me to eat it
I was looking through various books and found travel sketches
from Chinese Song by Suh Keung who traveled through Koryo
It's called "Through Koryo"...
and he wrote that he saw people steaming ginseng
His fever is not due to ginseng Did you check him properly?
But sir, you had to take ginseng? Are you ill somewhere?
Why did you do it?
I have a tumor inside my stomach
What?
Even when you were at the herb garden?
Yes, that's why I gave up and told you not to do anything
But you drank so much...
Thought it'd be better to die quickly if I couldn't get cured
But you confronted me saying I couldn't take away hope from you
So I came out of the palace to help treat you
And I've been checking everywhere to find a way to treat it
Good choice So red ginseng is the solution?
Not sure... but it's surely giving me more time to find a way to treat it
since it's not getting worse
I've heard of the physician lady and I was going to visit her soon
So you're learning from her?
Yes. I must learn
Good. I thought you'd make a good physician if you studied
It's not just to become a physician
It's because that's the only hope
Hope?
The hope of returning to the palace
They say it's the only way for a maidservant to go to the palace
I'll go back and punish those who have made my mother...
Lady Han and me like this
What? Punish? You'll take revenge?
Yes, sir. I'll find a way once I return to the palace
If that's the reason, then quit studying right now!
Medicine is to heal people
so how could you learn about it with such an angry heart?!
I can never allow it!
How can a person filled with anger take the acupuncture needle?
Give it up right now! Now!
Why are you saying no?
I took the needle with anger as well
Not to save the person, but to kill the person
How can you say such a thing as a physician lady?!
It's not something a physician could even dream of!
I'm a human being!
How can someone who drinks day and night because he's sick...
understand the anger that a human being can have?
How could you understand the undying anger of a human being?!
Go get some wa-song
Wa-song?
Moss from old house tiles
Sure
Tell me the similar pulses
Floating and large pulses are similar but large pulse discontinues
String and thin pulses; string pulse is like a string
Bow pulse doesn't pulsate much but...
rapid pulse pulsates 6 times in one breath
How about nwe pulse and sil pulse?
Nwe pulse pulsates as it lowers and sil pulse...
Sil pulse pulsates as it rises
Excuse me What?
I shouldn't tell you this
Then why did you come in?
I don't know. Anyway, I'm telling you as you've been working so hard
I think they're looking for you as the exile's getting worse
I can't stand it
If you can't give up your anger then choose either anger or medicine
And what's more I can't allow Jang-Geum to be taught...
by such a person. Let's go
Check his pulse
It's the same illness that you have
I know the way
I've found the medicine after trying many years to cure him
Have you tried your treatment?
I've seen the effect by trying it on someone else... but...
I haven't treated him with it yet
He's my enemy
I learned about medicine and went to the palace to get near to him
And I came to Jeju as a physician because he was exiled to Jeju
He was an officer during Yeonsan's reign...
in charge of finding women for the King
Using his position, he forced my married mother into the palace
My mother committed suicide
And my father couldn't contain the anger and committed suicide, too
And then that guy charged our family...
for blasphemy and took our wealth
I was raised by my family's servant and became a servant
If I were a man, I would've learned martial arts to take revenge...
but I learned medicine because I'm a woman
And when others were learning the art of healing
I was learning both the art of healing and killing
When others were learning about good medicine
I was learning about both medicine and poison
And now... I've become a famous physician
Do I have to save him?
You have to stop her
As you're in an authoritative position you can stop the physician lady
Sir, this can't be. He's no longer an enemy, but a patient now
And she is not a person, but a doctor
I disagree
Sir, he has already received his punishment...
He came here as an exile and he has a terminal illness
So that's for her to decide Sir!
Don't get yourself involved in this, too
No. First of all, it's because she's a very good physician...
and because she's Jang-Geum's teacher
Move away
No. I will do this
Make medicine with moss, red ginseng, cinnamon, ginger
Sure
I liked you for wanting to go back to the palace out of anger
That's when I decided to teach you medicine
So I can take revenge? No
So I can make you fall into the same trap that I fell in
Mr. Jung Woon-Baek's words are right
A person filled with anger cannot be a good physician
You can tell by looking at me
Though I became a physician by anger there comes a point...
at which you have to choose between medicine and anger
I've already passed you my struggle
I wish you could resolve your anger and become a physician
That's my true desire for you
Mr. Jung Woon-Baek's words are right
A person filled with anger cannot be a good physician
You can tell by looking at me
Though I became a physician by anger there comes a point...
at which you have to choose between medicine and anger
I've already passed you my struggle
I believe Lady Suh has decided already
You know the common characteristic of people who succeed?
They're simple and passionate
But the important thing is the latter
You should know reality and stand above it
knowing how to persuade people and knowing how to exercise power
Now, you'll face your second challenge
and when you succeed, you'll probably...
fulfill those two as I wish you will
