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

I'll return to the palace

Then, I'll... Then, I'll...

Take revenge on the ones who did this!

I want to learn about medicine

Please teach me

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

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!

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

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

(2 years later)

(Episode 31)

Did you get everything? Yes

How about your identity tag?
Oh, my tag!

Here! OK. See you later

How about some money?
Right, money!

I almost went to Jeju
without a penny. Give me money

Here

How do you expect me to travel
all the way to Jeju with only this?

You don't want to go?

This is like nothing

You said you might be late
for the boat. Aren't you going?

By the way, what are you
taking with you anyway?

Clothes And?

Straw sandals And?

That's all?

Liquor... just a little

Why would you pack liquor
for going to Jeju?!

You shouldn't take that out Pfft

What are these? And this?

Why are you taking them out?
I need them...

You don't need these!

Give this to Jang-Geum
What's this?

Jang-Geum likes dried persimmons

But as a servant,
she probably can't eat much

You're the only one who cares for her

If it weren't for business,
I would follow you

I'll leave now Go ahead

What?

They'll think you're going
to war or something

Just go now! OK

What are you doing?!
I'll be back

Go to Jeju with this?

She probably didn't know about this

Baek-hwe, jun-jung, sang-sung,
chan-jook, jung-myung, seung-eub...

young-hyang, ye-poong,
ji-chang, seung-jang

Jang-Geum! Jang-Geum!

The physician lady says
you can come out now

She's so harsh. You do your best
but she keeps you...

in the cold cave and
tells you to practice

She's just jealous that
you're doing better than her, huh?

Examine his face

Below your eyes are blue and brown
and you can't open your eyes wide

It looks like a headache
caused by a weak stomach

Are you feeling dizzy? Yes

Don't feel like talking? Right

Do you feel nauseated?

Yes

Check his pulse. Please lie down

So is that it?

Yes. It's like a rolling marble
so it's for sure

How would you treat him?

After puncturing joong-hwan,
poong-ryu, baek-hwe and tae-yang...

he needs medicine for
spleen & stomach weakness

since his arms and legs are cold

Go ahead and give him acupuncture

Go ahead

Start from the beginning again

When you apply acupuncture on the face

piercing the blood vessel
will make the person blind

If the vessel on the crook
of the knee is pierced...

the person collapses and becomes pale

If the lungs are pierced
the qi will rise

and the person will
struggle with breathing

Why she keeps
telling you to do this...

you're good at
getting at the acupunctural points?

A martial artist would memorize
these to harm a person

but a physician must do so
in order to save the person

Why memorize the same thing everyday?

It's a mistake in the teaching process

I know. I made the same mistake
when I was learning

Then why are you training her
harsher instead of comforting her?

She can't apply acupuncture
because she's become more afraid

I know how that feels
because I went through it

The reason she can't apply
acupuncture ever since...

is not because of my harshness
but because she can't forgive herself

for putting my life in danger
by making a mistake

She needs more time to punish herself

But...

I don't decide when it'll be over,
Jang-Geum will decide

It's been too long

She'll learn more about the value
of human life as more time passes

But during that time,
her body and heart are getting hurt

Or you can teach her yourself

Lady Suh

I must train, please go away

It was only a mistake
People make mistakes

Of all the mistakes,
only mistakes made by a physician...

take away the life of a person

If she hadn't rushed the prescription
she could've died

That was the difference between
making food and medicine

I was arrogant. It was arrogant
for me to decide to take revenge...

by going back to the palace
through medicine

Sir Jung's words are right

But I still don't want to give up
either one of the two

I can't... I want to do both

Physician lady's likely making me
meditate so I can clear my mind...

but thoughts of taking revenge
for Lady Han fills my mind

I can't clear it... Then I feel
I can't apply acupuncture

I used to think I could accomplish
anything as long as I had the will...

and I didn't give up

I realized that there's something
I can't do for the first time

But I'm going to do it
I'm going to do it

So please... Bye

We have to offer
300 horses to the King

Yes, I know

But the ship keeps on being
raided by Japanese pirates

I think you'll have to guard it
with soldiers at Jeolla

Sure... but would it be OK
to take the soldiers from here?

There are commanders here
and soldiers protecting the border

And we can recruit civilians
as soldiers, so it'll be alright. Go

But ifJapanese pirates attack...

It'll only be for a short time and
I'm sure nothing will happen

And take Jang-Duk with you

Why the physician lady?

I read there are sick soldiers
at Woo Island, they're asking us...

to send the physician lady ofJeju
so take her with you

OK

While some of the soldiers are gone...

make sure the remaining soldiers
do their jobs

Yes, sir. Don't worry

Let's go OK

That's good

Yes, you can take care of all patients
while the physician lady is gone

She always trains you
but doesn't give you...

the chance to practice acupuncture
so how can you be a good physician?

What did you do with patients
who came while she was gone before?

We sent them back
or civilian physician Park came...

to see the patients from time to time

Then please bring physician Park

Why physician Park? What a fool!
This is your opportunity

That's right! You should accomplish
things while she's gone...

so you can become
a well-known physician

Are you afraid she might scold you?
Don't you worry about it!

Move over! Move over! Move!

Jang-Geum! Hurry!

What's wrong?

It's an emergency patient. Emergency

Duk-Gu! You know him?

Yes. Duk-Gu! Can you recognize me?

Jang-Geum...

Duk-Gu... What happened to him?

What happened? Though I've been
ferrying for many years...

I've never seen a person
who had been seasick this bad

He started to feel nauseated
as soon as he got on the boat...

and he asked to be let off
and later he even tried to jump off

So he didn't eat anything
during the trip, right?

Of course not! I thought
he was going to die in the boat

Duk-Gu, I'll fix this for you
so don't worry

I'm sure I can do it for you,
so don't worry

What are you hesitating for?

This isn't a dangerous spot

No. He hasn't been eating for days,
so he could have side effects...

or he could feel very weak
and it could get worse

What are you doing? Do it quickly!

Please prepare the moxa

Why moxa? The physician lady would
usually use acupuncture as it's faster

Please prepare the moxa...

Why? She isn't here, so it's alright

Is she a real physician anyway?

Hurry...

Where am I? Am I in hell?

Seeing a pretty lady here
I guess I'm in heaven

But you look so much like Jang-Geum
Are you Jang-Geum?

Yes

Jang-Geum?! Yes, Duk-Gu

Are you really Jang-Geum?! Yes

Jang-Geum! Duk-Gu

I thought I was going to die
in the boat before I could see you

Am I dead or is this Jeju? Jang-Geum!

Though it's shabby
it's good for resting

Thank you very much
Don't mention it

How come a young man's
room is so smelly?

What?

A person who can stand this
must be insensitive...

But you're hot-tempered

What?!

Oh, he's just joking

It's not his room but
temporary room for officers' use

He's letting you use it because
he has to guard the shore today

Really? Thank you

Jang-Geum...

So how have you been?

I've been fine... how have you been?
You've lost so much weight

I've been doing fine, too
How about your wife?

She's always doing fine

By the way, you had a younger sibling
but he died not too long ago

Really?

I'm sorry to hear that
How did it happen?

I was so distressed to hear what
happened to you and Lady Han...

I took all those ducks and
ate them for over three months!

And she got pregnant!

And?

But last May, he caught the flu...
My Yee-Do!

Don't be sad. It was heaven's will
so what could you have done?

And besides, she could
become pregnant again

It's useless. I used to hope so when
I lost Il-do, but we'll need luck...

to have such a thing
happen again at this age

I don't even look forward
to it anymore

We don't hope for it anymore

Any other questions?

How about... the palace?
And Yeun-Seng?

I don't know

Why not? Why don't you know?

After this happened to you,
Lady Choi became the Highest Lady...

and she pushed me
out of my position and

we couldn't even provide
the palace with liquor anymore

What? But even so, how could she...

I don't think Lady Yeun-Seng or
Lady Min have been doing well either

Where are you going at this time?

Is it wrong to want to be physician
to avenge you, Lady Han?

Do you want me to stop here?
Huh? Madam? Huh?

The Japanese!

What?!

They've invaded the government office
and they'll be here soon...

How come the signal-fire
didn't go up?!

I think the few remaining
soldiers were attacked after...

high officer took the other soldiers

Then... You must flee

But... Flee for now

People are fleeing to the mountain...

after seeing the signal-fire
that went up later

Go there and plan things
for the future

Man... Gosh... What the...

Search all the places!

And go catch them!

Let's go!

Did you secure
Jung-Ui and Dae-Jung regions?

Yes

Is this everyone you've captured?

Yes. Someone lit the signal-fire...

and everyone fled
we only captured those who couldn't

How about the horses and goods?

They're being carried to the pasture

Free a few servants from
the government office to serve us

and imprison everyone else

Imprison them!

I'm not a soldier. I'm a civilian

I'm a civilian. I'm a nobody!

"Hurry" is "desuyo" and
"slow down" is "hayak u"

Did you find a physician?

Civilians fled to the mountain
so we couldn't find a physician

What do you mean?!

We changed our course to Jeju
because our chief is sick!

We'll look for him again
But if we can't find him...

we can't attack the mountain again...

Just find him! No matter what!

Yes, sir!

Chief!

So did you find a physician?

No

Dang! Something can happen to him
if he goes to Dae-Ma Island...

in his condition!

Sir! Sir!

What is it?

There's a pharmacy
among the government offices

A pharmacy?

Doesn't that mean
they had a physician here?

Yes, sir!

Who is a physician here?

We saw the pharmacy in there

If there's a pharmacy
there ought to be a physician

Who is the physician here?

There's a very good physician lady

but she went out to Woo Island...

and she isn't here right now

What? She isn't here now?!

I know you're lying to me
because you don't want to heal us!

Who is it? Tell us right now!

Beat them so they talk!

Take one person at a time
and start whipping them!

There's someone here...

Who is it? Who just talked?

It's me

She even healed me when I was dying

Who is it? Um...

It's Jang-Geum!

Yes, that's right. Though she isn't
as good as the physician lady...

she is clearly very good

That's right! Jang-Geum, stand up

Who is Jang-Geum? Come over here

Are you the one?

Come inside

I'm a physician lady but I'm not
someone who can heal people yet

They say you're very good
so what are you talking about?!

Drag her inside right now!

Oh no...

Check him right now
Check him right now!

What is it? I said, what is it?!

It's a light, intermittent
flow of blood

What do you mean?

It's an intermittent flow
which feels like shrimps playing...

on the surface of water
and disappearing

So what illness does he have anyway?!

It's a bowel disease
similar to acute appendicitis

Acupuncture must be applied
at certain points right now

Or else he could die in 7 days

So are you saying
you can heal him or not?!

I can't heal him

Like I told you, I'm still training
and I can't practice acupuncture yet

But he needs acupuncture

If I do it, he can get much worse

She says she has never
practiced acupuncture before

Is that right?

Yes, she has never
practiced it on a patient

But the physician lady said
she's better than herself at diagnosis

and she's been training
for a long time already

She can even point out
the acupunctural points in her sleep

The physician lady said it's hard
to accurately point them out...

and the acupuncture itself
isn't that difficult

Then you're trying to escape because
you don't want to heal him, huh?!

Oh, no, I can't practice acupuncture

Shut up! Do it right now!

I've never done it before...

It doesn't matter. There aren't
any other physicians here and...

there's a first time for everything

Our chief can be your first patient

Go and do it

I can't do it...

Do you want to die?

OK

If you keep this up, I'm going to
kill people here one at a time

Jang-Geum! Why are you saying that?

Tell him you're good
and just puncture anywhere!

Patriotism is not important
when people could be killed!

OK, we can kill that guy first

Drag him out!

Please...

Jang-Geum... I must live...

I have work to do at home!

I must live, Jang-Geum...

What good is patriotism?

You think someone will give you
a reward for not treating the enemy?

OK. Kill him!

I'll do it!

I'll do the acupuncture job

Good. Bring her in

Concentrate on your fingertips...

and find the acupunctural points

Recite in your mind all the places

you shouldn't be piercing...

shin-jung, nyu-ho, shin-hwe...

ok-chim...

sung-moon...

Now transfer your concentration
to the needle

You must make sure
you don't pierce anywhere else...

but the place you've spotted
and think what organs are...

underneath the points...
the depth... Ow!

I can't... I can't do this

So will you do it
once we kill someone?!

Concentrate on your fingertips...

and find the acupunctural points

Recite in your mind all the places
you shouldn't be piercing...

Now transfer your concentration
to the needle

Think what organs are...
underneath the points... the depth...

Think of the depth and let
the needle and the fingertip be one

Receive the energy from the needle
and be one with the needle

Is it over?

Yes

I have to prepare medicine...

so send the servants
from the pharmacy...

and get them to buy the ingredients

OK

Thank you, Jang-Geum

Oh, no, Duk-Gu...
if it weren't for you...

if your life was not on the line
I couldn't have done it

What do you mean?

The chief woke up. He woke up!

The servant brought the ingredients

Bring them in

How long will it take?

It'll take at least 10 days...

No way! We must leave tomorrow

If so, he could get worse...

You will go with us

What?

You'll go with us
You can treat him on the ship

What now?

What's this letter in the package?

High military officer must've seen
the signal-fire on the mountain...

so he returned with his soldiers
But he's not attacking the enemies

It must not be time yet

It makes me glad
that you've treated him...

even though we're in a bad situation

It'll help me plan the attack...

if I find out their situation
so write me back

Use the ingredients as an excuse
for the servants go in and out

Since they'll be leaving tomorrow
I'll have to go out tomorrow somehow

How?

This isn't it! How could you bring this
and not the right one?!

What's wrong?

Did you get the horses and goods?

Yes!

And the rest?

The civilians are still imprisoned
and we're only taking the soldiers

I'm not a soldier, though...

I don't know how to
speak their language

Come on...

Wait, we can't go now...

There's something we must take

What is it?

It's rhubarb root
The pharmacy didn't have it

So what are you going to do?

There's a field nearby,
so it won't take long

No! She can find them
in Dae-Ma Island, too!

Then do what you want

Though effects will be much worse
we'll just have to use what we have

OK. Are you sure it's nearby?

Yes, it's something we've been growing

OK!

Is this it?

Yes. If everyone helps,
we'll save time

The root shouldn't be damaged

OK

Go in! Pull them out
without damaging the root!

Come, follow me!

Why you were defeated so easily?!

I don't know. It happened so quickly

How about the governor?

I heard about you just about when...

I was about to launch an attack

Whether it was you or me, this is good

I'm thinking of reporting
your achievement

Sir!

How long has it been?

I know... if I'd known you were here

I would've come here more often...

with the excuse of
delivering you liquor

Probably so. You would've...

You should've seen it...

You mean Lady Suh? Oh no, me!

They pulled out their swords

and they asked for the physician...

or they would kill
people one at a time

They said, "Sodekara, warekara..."

And I came forward...

and told them,
"Here's a good physician Jang-Geum!"

If I hadn't done that,
we would've been in great trouble

But Jang-Geum said,
"I can't practice acupuncture"

so I said, "I'll put
my life on the line!"

If I hadn't done that...

everyone would've died!

Sir, you know what kind
of girl Jang-Geum is, huh?

When she says no, it's no till the end

That's right

But I'm the only one
who can break her will

It was my life on the line...

so how could she just sit and watch?

Right, Jang-Geum?

Of course, Duk-Gu
Thank you very much

If it wasn't for you,
I couldn't have found such courage

But why did you keep on hesitating
when people's lives were on the line?

You should understand
what you were up against...

I thought I was going to die

You've stepped forward after all

Yes

Actually, when I heard
you'd successfully done it...

I remembered something I had forgotten

One part of me wanted...

you to stay as you were...

not being able to practice acupuncture

Whenever you step forward...

I wonder if your life...

is becoming more stressful...

Just... you and me here...

I'm bad, aren't I?

I just happened to
think such thoughts...

When I saw you
going through hardships...

As I know you'll keep going...

no matter how difficult the path is...

Because on that path...

I can't be of any help to you...

But you always understand me...

my skills as my skills...

my will as my will...

understanding me as a woman...

and as a human being...

you always understand me for who I am

When I was a court lady

the way of a court lady came
before the way of a human being

Now, the way of a servant comes
before the way of a human being

But no matter what I am...

you only see me for who I am

So I'm happy...

I'm so grateful...

and so happy at the same time...

It doesn't hurt at all

Now that I've received this
I won't be seasick again, right?

Yes

I have to go...

but when I think about
getting aboard again...

I feel like I have to stay in Jeju

You'll be fine, so don't worry

OK, I trust you

So did you finish
touring through Jeju?

Yes. Though it's part of Chosun,
it's so different here

There are many new trees...

and I've eaten so many tangerines...

Sir, you could get in trouble
eating anything you see

People already have a hard time
collecting enough of them...

to offer to the King

Really? Then let's keep it a secret

OK

Sir, will you be on a different ship?

It's the same ship. It'll stop by
Jeolla on the way to Han-Yang

It won't be boring

Are you going there
because of the last invasion?

Yes, to report it

We'll have to get going now

It's almost time

Sure

Jang-Geum, I'm relieved to know
you'll be with him

Be well

Sure. Come back again

Next time I come,
I'll come with my wife

Yes, you must come back

OK. Bye

Be careful

I'll teach you treatments
using animals' poison from today

I thought you only knew that
and you don't teach anyone else

I didn't teach it because
there was no one I could trust

Medicine itself becomes poison
if it is taught to just anyone

You know I don't repeat myself, eh?

Listen carefully

The snake's natural enemy
is the centipede...

and the centipede's is the slug...

so you use slugs as an antidote
for centipede's poison

A physician has no time
to be disgusted!

You should be busy finding
a way to use them in treatment

Horseflies and leeches
suck on human blood

but this is best for preventing
the coagulation of blood

Toad secretion is good for boils...

Call servant Jang-Geum right now!

This is a command to send Jang-Geum
to the Royal Court in custody!

What? Why?

Saving the invaders' chief s life is
clearly an act benefiting the enemy!

There will be an investigation

What?

Bring the criminal in custody!
Yes, sir!

Uh... Uh...
