Gu Am Heo Joon
You...!
What are you doing? Stop it.
Out of my way!
I'd rather quit than deal with those scoundrels.
I'm going to teach them a lesson.
Wait--!
Ow, my nose!
Sent me into danger when wild asparagus can be found anywhere?
A deliberate attempt on my life, eh?
Am I wrong?
Do something like this again and I won't forgive you.
Got it?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I wasted my time trying to survive, thanks to you guys.
So I'm filling my medicine bag with your herbs.
Got a problem with that?
What?
- Um... - What?
Where is Do-ji?
Where is he?
I don't think he came home last night.
Still in the gisaeng house, drinking his days away?
He seems very much shaken from failing the exam.
Let's go see the patients.
Fold your sleeve so he can check your pulse.
Yes, sir.
Did you get his urine?
Yes.
Right here.
- Taste it. - Excuse me, sir?
I said taste the man’s urine.
Yes, sir.
How does it taste?
It's sweet.
He's suffering from diabetes.
You must not drink wine, or have sexual intercourse.
Also, don't eat noodles or anything salty.
Yes, sir.
Diabetes cannot be treated with acupuncture after 100 days of its onset.
If you perform acupuncture, he could die from bloody pus wounds.
Prescribe the nutritious herbal tonic for him.
Yes, sir.
This is amazing. You found all the herbs we need.
Doctor Yu will go through them later, but I'm sure he'll be satisfied.
Good job.
Huh?
Wait! What on earth?
What did you do for four days? Drank and made merry?
Look, we can explain.
Explain what, you fool?
Can I have a word?
Go on.
What is it?
You should go to the dock right now.
Lady Da-hee is leaving Saneum.
Lady Da-hee? What are you talking about?
Lady Da-hee! Lady Da-hee!
Yang-tae!
Jun!
Mother!
Is that you, Jun?
What happened?
I begged you so hard to leave. Didn't you understand me?
Mother!
I have nothing more to say.
Mother! Mother!
I'm the one who brought her back here.
I won't see her again. Tell her to go away.
Mother.
Why are you being so foolish?
If you don't cut the ties with her now, we'll all end up being miserable.
Do you think I'm doing this for us? It's for Lady Da-hee as well.
Don't you know how painful it is to live with someone of a higher status?
I lived with that burden all my life.
Though I served a noble as my husband, I had to see you scorned as a commoner.
Don't you know how I felt seeing that?
I went through all those things, and I know how you felt.
But yet, you still chose to live only for Father.
Though he broke your heart many times, you still refused to leave his side.
Wasn't it because you loved him?
The same goes for me, Mother.
No matter what mishaps come, I don't want to cut my ties with her.
If I let her go, I'll regret it until I die.
Mother, please accept Da-hee.
Mother.
Please get up.
You won.
Mother.
Il-seo.
Why you...!
You lied to me!
Sir, I'm so sorry. I never meant to deceive you, Officer.
I myself was tricked by Jun.
What the hell are you talking about?
Jun, do you know this man?
You can get up.
Wait, he's not a policeman?
He's a good friend of mine from Yongcheon.
Il-seo helped us a lot since we got to Saneum.
Treat him like your older brother.
I will. My name is Cheon Yang-tae.
What, brother? What the hell is going on here?
Wait, that means...! You impudent brat!
Lower your head, boy!
Now!
Enough!
Unbelievable.
Is it true that the doctor put you in charge of the female patients?
Yes.
I envy you. He doesn't even let me check pulses.
Then again, I’d probably kill someone if I performed acupuncture.
Don't say that.
I think you're plenty capable of performing acupuncture.
Do you really think so?
Yes.
Guess I won't starve even if I go elsewhere.
Sir, it's Heo Jun.
What is it?
I have something to say, sir.
Go ahead.
I'd like to ask for a day off so I can get married.
Married?
Yes, sir.
I heard that you are from out of town. How did you find a woman so soon?
Marriage is a very important event. Of course you deserve a day off.
I'll talk to the master.
Thank you, sir.
You're a very unpredictable fellow.
Congratulations.
I owe you a lot for this.
Give this to your new bride.
What is it?
She'll know when you give it to her.
Please tell her that I wish her the best.
I will.
Thank you very much.
You already know?
Know what?
Who his intended wife is?
She was a lung patient here.
Then he fell in love with a patient.
Seems they knew each other from way before.
Bow.
And that concludes the wedding.
Here.
With the stickiness of honey, with the glueyness of paste.
Stick close together and have a dozen children!
It's not nice to hang around. Let us go and leave them alone.
Just wait for a moment.
He doesn't know what to do. He hasn't taken off the bride's dress yet.
Give me a moment.
Don't pinch me like a girl. Look out for my wife, okay?
She's here. What is it?
What is it? I feel so frustrated right now.
Why are you upset on a happy day? Why are you frustrated?
Fool, why so clueless?
I'm so frustrated! You ignorant fool.
We've got to talk!
What is it?
Now!
Come! Come, you mindless fool!
What's the problem?
Don't you know why I'm so upset?
That's why I'm asking.
How can they be so shameless? We took them in for free.
And now they bring in two more people?
Well, what else can they do?
I don’t care. That's their problem.
It's too crowded in here. Kick them out.
You hear me?
Alright?
Alright!
Look at me.
It seems you've made a very foolish decision.
Although we are together at last...
There is nothing that I can offer you.
Do you know how difficult it will be?
You won't get any benefits as a noble.
I've forsaken the noble life already.
You'll be poor and looked down upon.
I'm not afraid of poverty.
It is my fate to be poor and downtrodden,
but I ask myself why you have to suffer this wretched fate.
When I first met you in Yongcheon, you saved my life.
When we decided to come to Saneum, I was fated to be with you.
No matter how difficult our future, as long as I have your love,
I will always be happy.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Open the door!
Open up! Is anyone there?
Open the door!
Bring some honey water.
Yes, Milady.
Open the door for Do-ji!
I’ll open the door.
Is anyone there? Open up!
Master Do-ji.
Let go of me!
- Master Do-ji. - Let go!
Yang Ye-su must have an eye for people.
What kind of a doctor causes a commotion outside of a quiet clinic?
You deserved to fail the exam!
Stop trying to act like a doctor. Be a man first.
Pathetic fool.
Do-ji!
Do-ji. Do-ji.
What are you waiting for? Put out the fire!
Sir, please control yourself!
Shut up and go away!
Do-ji.
It has been a month since the exam. Why are you still upset?
I'm ashamed to face you.
Please get a hold of yourself, and take care of the patients.
It is not that simple.
Whenever I open my medical book, I hear people laughing at me.
No matter how hard I try, I'll never become a royal physician.
As long as my name is Yu, I'll never join the royal clinic.
Being a royal doctor isn't the only way.
If you have compassion for sick people, you'll become the best doctor anywhere.
That is the kind of doctor this world really needs.
The best doctor?
Who cares about being a doctor if I'm to be stuck in this backwater?
To you, my father may seem like the best.
Or Master Samjuk, who doesn't mind sucking pus and blood out of lepers.
But not me, I can't give up becoming a royal physician.
Ye-jin, I need your help.
Don't you know why I want this? It's all for you.
I don't want you to be a poor doctor's wife your whole life.
If I become famous, Doctor Yang will have no choice but to accept me.
But first, I need you.
Do-ji...
You're the only one who can give me courage.
You must help me.
Hadong! Hadong, are you there?
Yes, Milady.
What can I do for you?
You said that Haman is the best matchmaker in Saneum, right?
Yes. That woman knows a lot of people.
I'm going to visit her in the morning.
May I ask why?
I must find a husband for Ye-jin.
Pardon?
I'm going to live a new life.
What, as an herb collector?
Goodness, what brings Milady here?
Come to the clinic and run errands.
That is my decision to make.
What?
You didn't mean it when you gave up being a noble.
Stop! Form a line!
You're going to live in this dump?
You're going to let them suffer?
You gotta pay the men at Doctor Yu's to get any help around there.
I'm going to tell my parents that I want to marry you.
You must not do that.
