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!
(Episode 32)
We could've been killed ifJang-Geum hadn't cured the enemy
How can that be a crime?
That's right! We all survived because ofJang-Geum
There probably was a misunderstanding It'll be clarified soon
I hope so
Don't worry. Anyway, we should be able to find out more about this...
once the high officer or the governor comes back. They're taking long
Sir! It's been a long time...
I read your report about defeating the raiders
The King is very pleased
Yes. I came here when I received the summon at Jeolla
I was going to see you at the dancer bar...
so I had talked to Park Bu-Kyum
I heard it from him
The King is very worried because of frequent invasions...
by Yuh-Jin and the Japanese
So he has called you and Min Jung-Ho who've defeated the Japanese...
and Sir Kim Chi-Sung for driving back Yuh-Jin
Isn't Sir Kim Chi-Sung the person who was the general at Pyung-Ahn...
I think the King is going to promote him to work at the court
Sir Kim Chi-Sung...
I can't oppose the King for promoting him for defending the country...
Anyway we need someone to curb this
You're the perfect man for it
Thank you, sir!
The King has read the report himself and he's very pleased...
that you've round them up without any loss to the civilians
Huh? He did?
So it'll be very easy to promote you into the court. Good job!
Sure
What's wrong?
These are lies Lies?
This is a falsified report
The governor secretly fled when they attacked the armory
And he remained without any plan until I came back
And a maid servant colluded with the enemy?
Then it isn't true that he retreated
because he knew of the collusion...
and attacked later when he had the chance?
No. That maid servant helped me when I attacked them
So I was going to report her act and have her get a reward
This is big trouble then
The King has mentioned the fact that many of our countrymen...
are acting in collusion with the enemy so we should...
punish her severely to set an example
What?
She's probably being investigated at the police already
You didn't hand over the armory key to the enemy?
No... hand over the armory key?
You didn't? Right
So you didn't act in collusion with the enemy...
and hand over the armory key?
This isn't some small Jeju office but the Royal Police!
Act in collusion?! I've never done such a thing...
There's a soldier who saw you at the shore...
on the day the enemy invaded
And you even treated the enemy's chief
How are you going to explain this?!
But...
Are you going to deny that you've treated the enemy chief, too?
Stop!
Aren't you Jung-Ho?
She helped me defeat the enemy
so how can you charge her for that?
But that's what it says in the report And I have a duty to investigate
That report is wrong
Wrong? Then do you have any proof for this?
I do
That's a letter she secretly wrote to me
As you can see I was able to defeat the enemy
because she had written me
the details of their situation
How can a person acting in collusion with the enemy...
send such a letter risking her own life?
I brought the letter to report at Jeolla what she did...
but I never expected to use it this way
Then are you saying this report is a lie?
That's right
Then it's a lie that she treated the enemy's chief?
She did it because other people's lives were in danger
I'll make a new report so please postpone the investigation for now
Sir, why are you blocking my report?
The report that the governor wrote is wrong
Wrong?! How can the armory be attacked so easily...
unless that maid servant acted in collusion with the enemy?!
And she even treated the chief knowing that he was the enemy!
I'd like to ask you. I had told you be extra vigilant in guarding...
so how come you were invaded so easily?
Besides, you fled as soon as you heard of their attack
That's because I wanted to make another plan...
So you don't know what happened...
between the enemies and those who were captured, eh?
How can you as the leader who turned his back on the people...
try to blame your own people?!
Even so, treating the enemy chief is against the law
So it's natural for her to be misunderstood
Then should she have just sit by and watch innocent people die?
If she hadn't treated their chief he would have died
And you can't have a military without a chief
It would've been destroyed by itself
Sir, the chief threatened people Please understand
She could've just pretended to do it
But she treated him properly and she even followed them
Is that a lie, too?
Head of guards, what do you think?
If someone saved the enemy chief shouldn't she...
be tried at the military court?
People are suffering as the number of invasions are increasing
So the King ordered himself to severely punish those...
who act in collusion with the enemy
But a servant physician treated the chief enemy
If we keep her alive just because we've defeated the enemy
what are you going to do about the public order of the people?
Did you hear? About the physician lady from Jeju?
Yes, it doesn't sound like irrelevant news...
because she's one of us
I know... what is one to do in such a situation?
A physician lady shouldn't treat others...
risking her life just because she's a physician?
Though her life was on the line...
they were threatening to kill others, too
Then that's more of a reason...
The Queen says she has shoulder pains...
OK
A physician lady from Jeju?
Could it be Jang-Duk?
Such a thing happened?
Yes. Should one not treat the enemy's chief in such a situation?
I don't know. They threatened to kill other innocent people...
if she didn't treat the chief?
Yes
It must've been a difficult situation
Yes, Your Majesty. The King has ordered a severe punishment...
to set an example for those who act in collusion with the enemy
She's being investigated right now
Is that so?
His Majesty the King is entering
What were you talking about with the physician ladies?
I was talking about important issues with them
About the physician lady from Jeju...
who is being investigated at the police right now
A physician lady from Jeju?
You don't know about it?
I did tell them to set a public example...
of the enforcement of the law but I don't know about the details
I still think you should know about it
What in the world is this?!
How can a government official blame his fault on a maid servant...
and submit a falsified report?!
Discharge Jeju official Han Dong-Ik & reward the physician lady...
who helped the high military officer defeat the enemy
But, Sire, she acted to benefit the enemy by treating the chief
You've ordered us to set a public example of the law
No! No!
The reason why I gave you such an order is...
because other people get hurt when invasions occur...
because of such people It is to save the lives of people
And she treated him to save people, so how could this be collusion?
There shouldn't be any affair where we forget the essentials...
because we focus so much on the externality, OK?
Your grace is immeasurable
There she is! Jang-Geum!
I thought you were in big trouble!
Do you know how hard he worked on this?
I have to go visit the police now, so you can go ahead to my home
Jang-Geum!
So you're the physician lady from Jeju
Hello, again. You've come, too
Yes, it turned out that way
I thought it was Jang-Duk
She wasn't there when it happened
I see What happened to you?
I came back to the Royal Pharmacy That's good, sir! That's really good!
I owe it all to Jang-Duk She healed me of my illness
Yes
The chief s illness was a type of acute appendicitis
It's not easy to cure You must've been studying hard
So will you be going back to Jeju?
Yes. As soon as Sir Min is done with his work in one or two days...
Where are you staying? I'll visit after work
I'll probably be at Sir Min's home
OK
Sir... I've been looking for you
Why?
The medical department wants to talk about...
the examination of the physician ladies on the seventh
OK
It's not because of medicine...
It's because that's the only hope, the hope of returning to the palace
They say that's the only way for a maid servant to go to the palace
I'll go back and punish those...
who have made my mother, Lady Han and myself like this
What? Punish?
Are you saying you want revenge?
Yes, sir. I'm going to find a way once I go back to the palace
I wonder what happened to Jang-Geum
Me, too...
If it wasn't for this she would've been there for the exam
It's hard to know when they'll pick physician ladies again
Pyung-Ahn inspector Sir Kim Chi-Sung will be promoted to the court
Sir Kim Chi-Sung? Yes
That's good! Such a person ought to protect the King with you
Sir Kim was the one who recommended you to me...
and I think you should be at his side from now on
Come back to the court That's what he wants, too
He asked for you
Is anything uncomfortable for you?
Oh, no...
Where is officer Park?
He became close with the servants already
and he went out to tour through Han-Yang
It's been a long time since you were here last time
You should meet your friends at the court. I'll help you
I don't want to right now
I'll go back with dignity...
Then I'll meet them
And that's what Lady Han wants, too
Sir, Mr. Jung from the pharmacy is here
I'll ask you again
You haven't changed your mind from last time?
Do you still believe you could practice medicine...
with hatred in your heart?
Give that up now
No. The hatred became even stronger when I saw the palace today
You still haven't come to your senses
You're the only one who can dissuade her
You must stop her You must dissuade her
Or else she can't practice medicine
With such a heart, how do you expect her to concentrate on medicine?
She'll only think about taking revenge
But Lady Suh isn't that kind of a person
Everyone is capable of that
The heart can easily change
Even if she started with only pure passion...
she can change, that's how it is in the palace
I believe and trust that Lady Suh will not change that way
And even if she changes, it's something she'll have to decide
Jang-Geum, I can't tell you about the physician lady exam...
I'm sorry
Sir Kim was the one who recommended you to me...
and I think you should be at his side from now on
Come back to the court That's what he wants, too
He asked for you
I'm leaving tomorrow, sir
Why? You still resent me?
No, sir
Then why are you leaving? I said Sir Kim needs you, too
Think it over one more day
Since going back isn't urgent think it over
If you came to Han-Yang, you should've visited our home
Were you going to just leave without seeing us?
She was at the police
How about yesterday?
She's a maid servant
How can she travel as she wills?
Sir Min would surely allow her to visit us!
It's because there's no affection for us...
She has forgotten about us
Oh, no, that's not it...
Then what is it?
If I visit, then I would miss you so much...
and when Duk-Gu came last time to Jeju...
What's wrong with you? Why are you making her cry?
Who is this anyway? He only eats and eats!
I'm a Jeju officer ofJeolla
Jang-Geum, I didn't know you were so good at cooking
Give me more of this
At least ask us to eat with you!
If one's busy eating one can naturally forget such courtesy
That's not it
Sir, you shouldn't be doing this Your father is old now
Even though he was heartbroken when you left for Jeju...
he said that a scholar-official should have such a spirit...
and that he's fine so I shouldn't worry
But he didn't look fine at all
He regained his strength with the hope of you returning to the court
But I heard you declined again
You shouldn't do that...
Please think of your father. Sir!
Why aren't you resting? You know we're leaving tomorrow
Sir...
I have a favor to ask of you
Please go ahead
You must do it for me
Sure... I'll do whatever it is if it's your request. Please go ahead
I wish you could work as a police at Han-Yang now
Not yet
I can work as one anytime in the future
That's my wish
Sir
I promised you I'll be with you at all times
I consider you to be with me whether in Jeju or in the palace
Just like Lady Han
You have to work for the government in the capital
Be armed with power Not just power, but righteous power
I'm going back to the palace for sure
She left?
Yes, that maid servant left
I have to give this to her!
Madam, you've been doing well?
I hope you aren't cold
I'm sorry... for not making you warm
Hey, let's hurry... I'm cold
Sir, I have a favor What now?
Please give me a little time to build a mound here
We don't have time for that...
Please? She's just like my mother
Please allow me to build a mound here, huh?
Jang-Geum!
Jang-Geum! I ran here because I didn't say bye to you
But I saw you yesterday, so what brings you here again?
But you're traveling far and I should see you get on the boat at least
By the way, why are you standing here?
Duk-Gu
This is the place where Lady Han is buried
Madam! How sad!
How come there's no mound?
I was asking the officer for it
Please, sir
Now I see that you're a heartless person!
Do you know who she is?!
No, it's not that...
You! Jang-Geum, I'll go back to the town and get some tools
Will you do that?
Yes... you come over here!
Come follow me!
Hold on!
You shouldn't make a grave here!
What do you mean?
This is our land
Then this land belongs to someone?
And this spot isn't for graves
We can't make a grave here?
The Ong-Ryo mountain ridge comes down to here and one branches out...
into that lake there so it was a death by drowning
What?
The sounds of wind and water are like a woman's weeping sound...
so here must lie a woman with a lot of grievances
How did you know, sir?
This place is So-Tang-Hyeul
The prince is sad and laments...
that there's no successor and no one who comes...
so the longing never stops
If the adults find out you'll get in trouble...
so move the grave quietly
What should we do, Jang-Geum?
I told you so! If we hadn't started to make the mound...
we wouldn't be in this situation!
What are you going to do?
Where are you going, Jang-Geum?
Jang-Geum!
Sir... aren't you feeling stuffy? And don't you have a fever?
You cough and suffer from cold sweats, eh?
How do you know of my illness?
I'm a physician lady from Jeju
I think I know the illness I've seen my teacher treat it
If it's because of the grave...
A physician does not make a deal over an illness
OK... you don't seem that way...
Please let me check your pulse
How is it?
I think it's that illness I was thinking of
I'll try treating it
Since I was 7, I had no appetite...
and my body grew weak for some reason
Many doctors came and diagnosed it as a food-related illness...
and gave me medicine to take, but they were only temporary...
and my body only grew weaker
They can't do anything about it now
If you treat me and nothing happens you could get in trouble by my parents
I will try
No!
Father...
I heard about this
Trust your body to a physician lady? That's absurd!
She correctly guessed my illness just by looking at my face
Even so, no way! You're a precious son to me
Father, I know
So trust me and let her do this I'm doing this for a reason
Go ahead
But if it gets worse or something bad happens...
then you'll be in trouble Do you understand?
You saw it all, right? Tell me what you saw
Get a fat cow and cut out 4 legs, chuck crest, loin and...
throw away the tendons and membranes
Chop the meat up chestnut-size and put them in a cauldron
You'll get beaten in Jeju again, Jang-Geum
It's not her fault The head ordered her to do it
Anyhow, this is great trouble
He didn't ask to be served beef but to be healed of a disease
I know... why does she keep on chopping up meat?
Go and ask her for some meat so we can cook up some here
Oh no, she won't let me go near it!
I'm letting her do it because we tried everything else...
but she's a lowly physician lady, a mere servant girl
Besides, treat you only with beef? I don't trust her at all
She doesn't look like someone who would harm people
Give her a chance
Does it have to be from a river?
Water's all the same
Be quiet and start carrying it
Why do you keep talking down to me like that? I am...
Jeolla's mere officer What?! Mere officer?
Stop staring directly at me!
It's been many days already and Jang-Geum and I could get beaten
Just wait... we should hear something soon
If this is how it's going to be, then I'll tie her up and go
What? Tie her up?!
Tie me up! Go ahead!
My mistake...
Why you! What did you do to him?!
Instead of healing him of his illness he is vomiting again!
How dare you try to fool people?!
He has to vomit. He'll be healed if he eats a little more
This is normal
How dare you! Stop this now! Stop this right away!
He has never been healthy He's suffering again!
Drag her outside the house right now!
No, rather, report her to the police and have them cut off her head!
Yes, sir!
Sir, it's the treatment you asked for
If you want me to stop, I will stop
Ultimately, it's not me or your father who has to drive this illness away
Father, I will try to endure this
If I can be healed enduring this, I will
She's someone who will heal me for sure
But still... no way...
This way, we could get in trouble before reaching Jeju
I hate to be beaten...
I was dragged away to the police once and beaten there
You were beaten at the police?
I was falsely accused and I heard them breaking logs
Let's run away
Run away? How about Jang-Geum?
That's right... Jang-Geum...
What happened?
Are you feeling OK?
Yes, I feel very good
It was a food-related illness after all
But as the physicians prescribed medicine just treating...
the symptoms instead of the cause, his illness grew
The cause?
The gall and extravasated blood accumulated...
and damaged the intestines
So I used a cleansing method for the intestines
Cleansing method?
Just as you saw, it was done by using pure beef extract
My teacher said it's a method widely spread in countries...
west of China, so it's probably not well known here
The extract goes into the intestines...
and pushes out everything...
that is floating around or rotting in there
Giving him medicine after cleaning out his system is what healed him
So he's completely healed now?
Yes, but he must not eat beef for the next three years
How hard could refraining from beef for 3 years be?
Thank you
Sir, I have a question...
How were you able to be sure that I would heal you?
I knew a great helper would come to me
I didn't know whether it would be a woman and a maid servant...
but I knew that a helper associated with that place would come
He has already memorized the Seven Chinese classics...
and the Book of Changes at 10 He views the world...
differently from normal people Even we don't take his words lightly
I have no other way to thank you...
but to find a good place for...
the person who is buried in our land
Will you really do that?
Sure
We'll make a mound and take care of it, so don't worry
So you're a physician lady in Jeju?
Yes
I heard the court is hosting an exam for physician ladies...
so that must be why you came here
What? There's an exam for physician ladies?
It's on the seventh day
Then... it's tomorrow?
Jang-Geum! Jang-Geum!
What?! Han-Yang, instead ofJeju?
Yes. There's an exam so a notice must've gone to Jeju, too
We didn't know because we left before it arrived
But even so, we can't go back!
Sir, farewell
Thank you. What is your name?
My name is Jang-Geum
Study the Book of Changes Huh?
According to your face you will save a lot of people
Jang-Geum!
Madam!
Madam, thank you very much!
I'm going to take the exam thanks to you
Thank you, Madam
Hurry!
It's time now. Close the door!
Don't close the door!
What is it?!
I'm an officer ofJeolla!
Exam ground for physician ladies only!
There's another lady who will be a physician here! Open up!
Good luck!
His arm will get cut off! Open up!
Are you OK?
Is Jang-Geum inside? Yes, she is
It's fine Yeah?
Let's go somewhere and eat Sure
What's your name?
My name is Jang-Geum
Write down Jang-Geum
So-Ryung... Mal-Geum... Mak-Dal
Come in
Ok-Yee Yes
Yeup-Yee Yes
Jang-Geum Yes
Come in
The score is high, medium or low
If you receive "low" from any of us you fail the exam
What symptoms does one have if there's a disease in the liver?
Sour taste in the mouth...
and one becomes talkative...
and the person can easily get sick by the wind
Your turn
You get anxious and cry easily...
and there are muscle problems
How about the pulse?
You can feel the bow pulse
How about when the person's spleen is not well?
His face turns brown and they burp more often...
and because his arms and legs feel heavy...
he doesn't want to move Plus, sleep increases...
and his navel area feels hard and painful
(Jang-Geum: High)
Tell me the parts that indicate the condition of health
Urine, feces, skin and voice...
Next
Eyes, tongue and hair...
Next
And there are also blood, saliva and sweat
Write them down on the paper and turn them in
You don't know how to write?
No...
(Jang-Geum: High)
Let's say there's an enemy
He has a terminal disease and came to you for help
Would you save him or not?
Of course, one should save him
A person who practices medicine must save a person's life no matter what
I think you should save him
It is wrong to practice medicine according to personal emotions
I haven't made my decision yet
(Jang-Geum: Low)
There she comes
Jang-Geum!
Jang-Geum, how did you do?
She was taught with whippings so she couldn't have failed
No... I did fail
What?! You'll be killed by Jang-Deuk
What?! You're joking, aren't you? How could that happen?!
One of the judges is someone I know...
Really? That's great
He gave me "low"
Low?
Receiving one low means failure
You should've greeted him properly!
You should've recognized him and bowed to him!
Whether it was a success or not let's head to Sir Min's place first
No, not that place
Huh?
Why not?
Honey
Jang-Geum, you didn't leave yet?
I'm leaving tomorrow
What's wrong with her? Did something go wrong?
I met her on the way... Make it short
After healing a rich man's son...
Make it shorter
She failed
Failed? From what?
She took the Royal Physician Lady exam but she failed
You should've said that first...
Jang-Geum failed?! Really?
I don't know... that's what she said
What? Punish? You'll take revenge?
Yes, sir. I'll go back to the palace first and find a way
If that's the case, then stop studying right now!
Medicine is to heal people, so how can you heal people with...
such a heart of anger?!
I can never allow it!
How can a person filled with anger heal people?!
Just quit right now! Now!
Lady, how did you learn medicine?
Let me see...
Jang-Geum!
Yes!
Jang-Geum! My daughter Jang-Geum has become a Royal Physician Lady!
You did it!
Jang-Geum, you made it! Made it!
So-Young beside Jung-Hee and...
Jang-Geum beside So-Young!
Greet him. He's Chief Pharmicist Do, head of the Medical Department
You'll be trained as physician ladies from now
This is a special order to treat women in many parts of the country...
as well as the palace so learn diligently
Training will start tomorrow at the medical center
Gather there by 6 a.m.
Thank you, sir
I still haven't acknowledged you
I've only put off my decision because you haven't made yours yet
Think it over carefully while you're being trained here
Sir, you've come back to be promoted...
and Jang-Geum has made it to become a physician lady...
so we can live like in the good ol' days
This is so good! Yes
I feel like I'm on top of the world!
Yes, yes
But how come you don't look good?
I feel angry thinking about going back to Jeju by myself
You wanted to go back so badly...
so why would you be angry?
They say bitter relationships can also be sweet...
I must've grown attached...
Do you want to come to Han-Yang?
If I have an opportunity I'll request it
Really?
Things turned out really good Yes
You wanted it so much and that's why you made it
I still have a long way to go
In order to enter the palace you have to be...
an apprentice to a physician lady
You have to be in the top three for that
You will make it
Studying medicine in order to get in the top three...
That's what made sir Jung angry
Lady Han would've gotten angry over it, too
But I'm going to put aside such thoughts for now
Please do so... you'll find a way...
to fulfill those two wishes for sure
The training officially starts today
Medical Prof. Shin Ik-Pil will teach you
Greet him
Sit down
What you knew up until now is all trash!
Forget all that you knew
You have to accept all that I teach you
Those who oppose or can't endure it may leave now
Do you understand?
