Gu Am Heo Joon
[Episode 49]
Your Highness, the bureau physician is here.
Tell him to come in.
Sit.
I hear that you are now the Prince's doctor,
and that you're taking good care of him.
I feel honored for the opportunity, Your Highness.
Since you had cured my son last time, I wish to express my gratitude.
Your Highness.
Please make sure that my son grows up healthy and well.
I pledge to do my best, Your Highness.
Let's go.
Welcome.
Hello.
Are you staying the night?
Do you have a room?
Yes.
Do you happen to know a royal physician from Saneum?
No.
Or anyone who recently moved here.
Would you like me to find out?
Yes, thank you.
Her Highness really gave them to you?
Yes.
Paper and writing material can be bought anywhere easily.
But these are from the royal concubine. It means she has high regard for you.
What an honor.
All is well now.
With your marriage, you will gain a father-in-law of wealth and influence.
He will surely be helpful for your successful career.
All there is left now is for you to become the chief royal doctor.
Why do you look so down? Aren't you happy?
I am.
Don't think about anyone else but your present bride.
Milady, it's me, Han-sang.
Hold on.
Go to your room and rest.
Come in.
What happened?
She is staying at an inn.
I heard her asking about a doctor from Saneum.
We have to stop her from meeting Do-ji.
Think of a way to stop her until Do-ji's wedding is over.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm leaving this matter in your hands. Leave nothing to chance.
Yes, Milady.
Ye-jin, I'm not sure I can marry someone else.
But why...?
Tell her you found the doctor's home and send her with this man.
Please come outside for a moment.
What is it?
I found the doctor you asked me about.
Are you sure?
Pack your things and follow him.
Thank you.
That's the lady. Make sure that you don't hurt her.
Yes, sir.
Who are you?
Where are you going? Hey!
Come with us quietly and we won't hurt you.
Who are you? Move out of my way.
Let go! What are you doing?
Let go!
- Hurry. - Sir.
What are you doing? Let the lady down.
Mind your own business!
Get the lady.
Lady, wake up. Lady!
Who...?
Please stay down.
Where am I?
What? Who was he?
I don't know, but he seemed like a nobleman.
You fool. How could you mess up an easy task as this?
It happened so fast. I'm sorry, Milady.
What now? How do we even know who he is?
She could barge in here at any time, make sure Do-ji doesn't see her.
Yes, Milady.
I don't know how to repay you for saving my life, sir.
I only did what I was supposed to do.
You said you were looking for a royal physician?
Yes, sir.
If you came all the way here alone, you must have a good reason.
I'll find him for you.
I work in the royal palace as well. It won't be that difficult to find him.
Please don't worry and take care of yourself for now.
Let's take a break.
Alright.
Are you still thinking about the wild ginseng?
That greedy fool. How could he do something so low?
So you are back.
Yes, sir.
Sang-hwa?
Have you been well, sir?
You don't have enough people at the clinic, so I was taking him there.
Maybe my treatment worked. All of his scars disappeared.
Since he doesn't need to hide himself, take good care of him.
I'm sure he'll be helpful to you.
Yes, sir.
So did you find what you were looking for?
We found loquat and sea spinach.
Actually, I have sent for my friend Gwang-ik.
Although I did say it was too late, it's not easy for me to give up either.
Since Gwang-ik experimented with all kinds of crazy things in the past,
perhaps he knows how to cure cancer.
When will he be coming?
I left a message so he should come soon.
Speak of the devil. There he is.
What brings you here?
I felt bad about you trying so hard to find a cure for cancer.
I came to tell you how to cure Doctor Yu.
There's a way?
What do you take me for? There is.
What is it?
In Hansok-gol, there's a great shaman who can cure anything with a talisman.
My wife has the details for you.
She's an amazing shaman.
My husband nearly died from the plague, but she made him a talisman.
He sprang back to health overnight.
I have the talisman here.
Oh, how embarrassing.
This is it.
What you had was the common cold. It's plenty curable.
Know why the people of Dushi-gol died?
When the plague broke out, they listened to that shaman.
They bought talismans and died because they waited it out.
You're telling a doctor to go to a shaman? How can you even suggest that?
But there's no real alternative...
Stop talking nonsense and go home.
I won't be home anytime soon. I'll be looking after Doctor Yu.
I'll bring you a fresh change of clothes.
What the...? Why's he so mad?
My husband was just trying to help. Why'd he blow up at us?
Geez.
My husband is a doctor. He doesn't believe in superstition.
What, doctors can't be more open-minded?
What the heck is this? We were just trying to help.
Geez.
He's just sensitive about Doctor Yu. Don't take it personally.
Oh, it was very personal.
I'm a little insulted myself.
Welcome back, talisman.
Doctor Heo!
Go to Doctor Yu's room. He lost consciousness.
Doctor...
How long has he been like this?
I came last night to serve him tonic, but he was already unconscious.
We need to cauterize his vein with moxa or perform acupuncture.
I'll perform acupuncture.
First the baihui, philtrum and hegu. If that fails, I'll try the sole of his feet.
Do it.
Doctor, please... Please wake up.
You can't die like this, Doctor! You can't!
Sir.
Hey.
Sir.
Are you awake?
What happened?
You were unconscious for two nights.
Jun treated you with acupuncture and tonic.
Doctor.
How is Doctor Yu?
He's conscious now.
Really? Good job.
I need to get some sleep.
Yes. I didn't sleep a wink either.
You look really tired. You look ready to faint.
Go rest.
Where is Lady Ye-jin?
She's not here. Didn't you know?
While you were out looking for herbs, she left for Hanyang.
Why did she go to Hanyang?
To marry Master Do-ji.
Oh, she left a letter for you.
How could she leave to get married when Doctor Yu is ill?
Here. And she left you an acupuncture kit.
She told me to take good care of it, so I carried it in my pocket.
Please forgive me for saying good-bye this way.
I entrust Doctor Yu in your hands, Doctor Heo.
The best medicine for a disease is sincerity.
I believe that your endless efforts will eventually save his life.
The years I spent with you have been the best years of my life
I'll live the rest of my life remembering the precious memories.
My acupuncture kit...
This is the acupuncture kit my father used.
I heard that he carried this kit and went around the country to treat the sick.
I'm giving this to you in hopes that you will become a true doctor.
No. I can't use your late father's kit.
I'll bring my own acupuncture kit.
Hey!
Stop right there.
Where'd you get that water?
What are you doing?
Stay out of this.
Did you get the right water for Doctor Yu's tonic?
This water is for the patients in the ward.
I already got Doctor Yu's water early this morning.
What are you doing?
I said, stay out of it.
You're really good-looking. Let's be friends.
But...! Do-ji...!
See you around.
Sang-hwa.
Su-yeon.
Sang-hwa...
What are you doing here?
I want to live here with you. Please let me stay at the clinic.
Su-yeon.
You should go back.
Sang-hwa.
I feel the same about you.
But you know that I'm in no position to support you.
Wait for me at Samjuk Temple.
I will call for you once I've found a place here.
So leave.
Sang-hwa.
Go now!
I want to be with you.
I said, leave.
Sang-hwa...
You!
Come over here.
Who was that girl?
You're already chasing after girls?
If you are here to learn medicine, you should concentrate on studying.
You don't have time to meet girls.
You should serve your clinic elders and learn about the effects of herbs.
I know about herbs.
Oh yeah?
Foxglove.
For lowering fevers.
Cnidium?
Severe headaches.
Gentians?
Eye disease.
Arrowroot?
Excessive urine and thirst.
Then...
Sophora?
It's used to treat wounds on the skin.
You're pretty good.
But a true doctor should cure the sick and feel genuine sympathy for their pain.
You may go.
Yes, sir.
He's scarier than Heo Jun.
If he gets ahead of me, too, where does that leave me?
Is anyone here?
Who are you?
Samjuk told me a lot about you.
I'm sure he said I was a butcher.
Well, it's true, isn't it?
And you are just a silly monk.
Let us have some wine.
No, you shouldn't drink.
It's too late for me to quit drinking. Wouldn't you agree, Doctor Ahn?
Samjuk didn't say you were a butcher, but that you are superb in dissecting.
Have you ever dissected a human body?
I have always wished to, but no.
I only saw the insides of animals.
But they must be different from ours.
Yes, I can only imagine what the inside of a human being looks like.
If I have one wish, it would be to dissect a real human body.
But it's against the law.
If you were to cut open a corpse,
his internal organs would be shrunken and the circulation of blood stopped.
It would be different from dissecting a live person.
Why are you so suddenly interested in the subject?
All doctors wish to look inside a body.
I am no exception.
A doctor must treat many diseases and it's not easy doing that
based only on ancient medical books and vague records about the organs.
We can't cut open a human body.
Who would want their body to be cut open?
It is simply impossible.
But if it is necessary, somebody must do it.
Lady, are you inside?
Yes.
I have learned where the doctor lives.
I gave the address to my servant. He will show you the way.
Thank you so much.
I don't know why you are looking for him, but I'm glad that I was able to help.
It's that house.
I will excuse myself now.
Thank you. Good-bye.
Milady, he's coming!
Welcome. Let's go in.
I know he is lacking, but he loves you dearly.
And his love for you is genuine.
He'll love you and take care of you for the rest of your life.
I hope you grant me my last wish.

Doctor Yu showed up and ordered a strange knife.
Is this a doctor's knife?
My name is Lee Jung-myung.
Did you meet Lady Ye-jin?
Mother, Ye-jin came to Hanyang. Did you know?
You're a patient. You know that too well.
You can't beat my stubbornness.
Remember, cut my body open before it rots.
