Gu Am Heo Joon
[Episode 15]
Get out.
Who do you think you are?
Get out of this room!
Out!
Where are you going?
Out.
Sir.
Jun, have a drink.
Sir, You're very drunk already. We need to go.
I'm drunk I still have a long way to go.
Since I see my father's face in the cup, I'm not drunk yet.
Is anyone out there? Bring me more wine!
Sir, we have to go back to Saneum.
Shut up! How dare you order me!
I make the decision on whether to go back or not.
Sir!
I shall not return. If you want to go, go by yourself.
You can't give up hope. Please pull yourself together.
You don't know anything, do you?
Do you know how I feel right now?
It's over. My life is over!
But would you want to live your life in regret and rage?
The exam is not the only way to become a doctor!
What?
If you give up now, you won't see other paths in life.
You'll regret having given up hope more than your failure.
You arrogant bastard!
I'll pack your things. Please get up.
Stop messing around and work.
It's none of your beeswax.
Welcome back, sir.
The master has returned.
I haven't heard anything from Do-ji.
He should have been back by now. I'm worried that something happened.
How has everything been at the clinic?
There was an emergency patient, but she is in stable condition now.
- I'll go see her at once. - Yes, sir.
Oh, that cold-hearted man.
He cares for other people's lives, but he could care less about his son.
Send someone to the capital to find out what happened.
Yes, ma'am.
How was her pulse?
It was irregular. It was slow and then it stopped for a while.
As her Yin exceeded her Yang, we prescribed ginseng tonic.
What else?
She showed symptoms of extreme fatigue.
Short of breath and dark lips. She seems to have lung problems.
Check her pulse again.
How is it?
It is running fast and stops occasionally.
What do you call that condition?
The abrupt pulse.
The condition of the patient changes frequently.
You two have saved her life, but have not completed your duty as doctors.
Even after the critical moment passes, remember to take care of the patient.
We'll keep that in mind, sir.
When a patient's Yin is weak, focus on nourishment more.
Both her Yin and Yang are weak.
Make a tonic with ginseng, milk vetch,
Poria, licorice, foxglove, lovage and cassia bark.
Yes, sir.
What is that jerk still doing in Saneum?
Whatcha doing?
Oh my god!
Don't sneak up on me. I nearly had a heart attack.
Well, as long as you can perform well down under.
Shush.
What's wrong?
Is that guy an officer?
Man, he's a persistent one.
Milady, it is sesame porridge. Please try some.
No.
Milady...
Will you stop bothering me?
Milady! Milady!
Why are you being so loud? The lady is ill.
Milady, Master Do-ji has returned!
What? Really?
Yes!
Where? Where is he?
Milady.
Milady, Milady. Be careful.
Milady.
Where is he?
Do-ji! Do-ji!
Milady!
Do-ji... Do-ji...
What happened to you? My goodness, you've thinned.
What has happened?
I'm very ashamed, Mother.
You failed the exam?
- Oh, no! - Milady!
How could this happen?
Milady.
Get her inside.
Yes, sir.
Where is Father?
The doctor is in his room.
I've returned, Father.
It must have been difficult.
Don't you want to know the result?
Is it because you already knew I'd fail?
No matter how much I wanted it, you knew I could never pass, right?
Go to your room and rest.
I met Doctor Yang Ye-su.
I also heard about the Nine Needles contest with Doctor Yang.
Unless I change my name, I will never be accepted into the royal clinic.
Say something, Father. Please say something!
People still remember that incident?
Do you know that my future is over?
No matter what I do, I'm stuck here. Do you realize that?
I finally know why you tried to stop me.
I'm ashamed of my reckless behavior back then.
I wish I could erase it from my memory.
The reason I tried to stop you was not because I thought you'd fail.
I didn't want you to end up like me. Rather than being a true doctor,
repeating my foolishness of chasing fame and high position.
I wanted you to become a doctor who truly cares for his patients.
Why is aspiring to become a royal physician a vain dream?
As for fame, you are already quite famous, Father.
You are famous for beating the best doctor in the country!
But what about me, Father?
Your fame is blocking my way and crushing my dreams.
I'm doomed to be stuck in this backwater town forever!
I know reality now. I will throw away my pipe dream.
Well? Show's over.
Good job. Get some rest.
Do-ji, it's me, Ye-jin.
I have something to say.
I want to be alone.
Please don't give up your dream because you failed once.
Your father truly wants you to be a good doctor.
What is the Nine Needles Contest?
If I knew that, I would have taken the exam myself!
If even Do-ji can't pass that exam, the exam must be for real geniuses.
Dummies like us don't have a chance.
It's all because of Heo Jun, that jerk.
How is that Heo Jun's fault?
That jerk is bad luck to everybody.
He'll surely ruin our clinic someday.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
Mr. Lim told me to go home and rest.
Rest?
While you were partying in Hanyang, we broke our backs doing your work.
We're the ones who should be resting.
Sort out the herbs in the yard and attend to the sick folk in the clinic.
Let's go.
We handle the female patients. It's none of your concern.
I understand.
Hey!
What brings you here?
I rushed over here after hearing you were back.
What's the matter?
It's urgent. I need to talk to you.
Come.
Who was looking for me?
How would I know?
He looked like a hoodlum or a sort of military officer.
I told him that you left long ago, but he's still looking for you.
You have to hide until he leaves.
Oh, it's him! Hide!
What's he doing here?
I'll talk to him. You should hide somewhere.
Hide! Jeez, you're so stubborn.
Hello! What brings you here?
Haven't left yet?
His eyes looked very fierce.
He looked like he'd kill you if he got his hands on you.
Are you sure he's a military officer?
That's the strange part.
All officers ever care about is payoffs, and they do lousy jobs.
But I don't get why he's so persistent when there is no reward at stake.
Is there a huge reward on you? Why else would he be so stubborn?
Jun, maybe you should go into hiding somewhere.
I'm tied to my work. The clinic is busy for me to leave.
That's not an option.
I'm in a tight situation, too. I can't look out for you forever.
If he ever catches you, you are done for.
I'd rather wait and see.
Suit yourself, but don't say I never tried.
How is Do-ji doing?
He left the house a while ago.
Did he have breakfast?
He didn't want any...
You wretch! Of course he has no appetite!
You should've insisted.
Forgive me.
Goodness, this will be the death of me.
The doctor is very upset as well.
What's the use of that? He ruined his son's life.
You're excused.
Yes, ma'am.
Ha-dong.
Milady.
Tell Han-sang to keep an eye on Do-ji.
Can't have him doing something drastic out of anger.
Yes, Milady. I'll tell him.
I need wild asparagus and knotweed.
Make sure to fill those bags.
It'll take at least ten days to fill all of the bags.
Stop trying to goof off!
A week will be enough. Hurry back.
Yes, sir.
Is something wrong?
What is it?
Do you want to die in these mountains?
If you get drunk there, you could end up being tiger feed!
Come on, sir. It's not my first trip to the mountain.
Jerk!
Come on, Jang-swe can't survive a day without a woman.
If he can't get a woman for ten days, he needs his wine to soothe his urges.
Don't laugh!
Sir.
You better fill up the bags!
Yes, sir.
Come over here.
You mean me?
Do you see anyone else?
Put that down. Get ready for the mountain trip.
Huh?
What do you mean? He is going to come with us?
Do you think I'm sending him on a vacation or something?
From now on, he's going to collect herbs with you fellows.
It took me three years of carrying water to be here.
He gets to be an herb collector already? He hasn't even worked for a year.
You can't make him an herb collector just like that.
We have our rules and set ways. You can't ignore them.
If you have any problems, go talk to Master Do-ji.
It was his decision.
Heo Jun, I'll help you to get ready for the trip.
Move!
But sir!
You little...!
Darn it!
Jang-swe, we should go to Master Do-ji and protest.
Shut up! Don't you know what he's like?
That punk must have somehow tricked Do-ji during their Hanyang trip.
This isn't fair!
Put captured snakes or centipedes in here.
This isn't a cane. Use it as a weapon if you encounter beasts.
Mt. Jiri is steep and there are beasts everywhere even during the day.
If a bear attacks you, put the end of the stick on the ground.
Move according to how it moves.
When it attacks, stick it in its heart.
But you must be careful not to harm its gall.
I'll show you which herbs to pick. Come.
You're much better now.
I don't know how to repay you.
My reward will be to see you recover completely.
By the way, where is the man who brought you here?
He went out to look for someone.
You seem to be from out of town. Who are you looking for?
A man who will soon be my husband.
How is the lady doing? Will she be all right now?
She needs to stay here for a few more days.
You need good rest to get better. Worrying makes one's condition worse.
Milady, I don't think we can find him here.
I've looked everywhere in Saneum, but he is nowhere to be seen.
What should we do now?
I have to find him as long as he's alive.
As long as I'm breathing, I'll look for him.
How will you find him in this large country?
It's too late. I don't think it's possible.
- Let's go! - Off we go.
Where should we go this time?
Dunno.
Don't be so grumpy.
- Hey! - Hurry along, slowpoke.
- The weather's nice. - It is.
Where should we head?
We have to pick knotweed, azaleas and wild asparagus today.
We'll get the knotweed and azaleas. You collect the wild asparagus.
Do you know what that is?
I learned about the herb from Mr. Lim.
You use the roots for patients who are out of breath and coughing.
Not bad.
You have to go to Buksoryung Valley to collect your herb.
Go down this valley and climb a couple of hills towards the east.
But Buksoryung Valley is...
We don't have much time, so hurry up and get moving.
Okay.
Be careful.
What do you think you're doing? Buksoryung is full of tigers.
Even hunters are afraid of going there. How can you send him alone?
Wild asparagus is found everywhere. Why send him to that dangerous valley?
Do you really not know?
That punk is trying to steal our jobs. Will you let him do it?
But he could get killed. Don't you think this is too harsh?
Who cares if he dies there or not?
Let's go.
- Jang-swe. - Yes?
There might be rabbits or deer caught in hunters' traps.
We'll need something to munch on when we drink wine.
Of course.
But he might die...!
Shush.
Disease attacks if you fear it, leaves if you fight it.
It all depends on you.
Do I look sick to you?
How will you become a doctor at this rate?
You said you're looking for someone.
You won't stay to see him?
He and I must not be fated.
If you know what stands in Do-ji's way, you should solve it.
Ask Doctor Yang for forgiveness.
What are you doing here?
Where is Jun?
You mustn't see him.
But...! What do you mean?
Let's kick them out!
Kick them out?
Jun has already forgotten you. Please leave.
Don't come closer!
Jerk! And you want to become a doctor?
Sir?
