SECRET HEALER

EPISODE 11

Why did you do that?

Why?

-Master. -Where is Yeon-hee?

Where did Yeon-hee go?

Did you do as I ordered?

Poong-yeon, why are you...

What about Yeon-hee?

Where is she?

It's been a long time.

I guess you haven't forgotten about me.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why did you kill those people who hung their wish tablets?

I told you that you're cursed.

If you died that day,

those innocent people would still be alive.

Don't you see why you have to die?

There is no use in struggling.

You won't be able to use your powers here.

Why are you doing this to me?

What does my curse have to do with you?

It's my fault for bringing you into the world.

That's why I must end your life.

What does that mean?

You poor thing.

Do not be frightened.

It will be over soon.

Without my help,

you would be nothing but the rightful heir's relative

who couldn't even dream of being enthroned.

Although it was a short time, you were able to sit on the throne.

So don't be bitter or resentful.

Get out of here immediately!

Lord Choi, have you possessed his body?

POSSESSION: WHEN A SPIRIT LEAVES A BODY AND POSSESSES ANOTHER BODY.

Get out of Gangnyeongjeon now.

A loyal subject sworn to protect His Majesty

shouldn't possess the King so recklessly.

I know what you're planning.

So?

Are you going to stay in his body until after 8 p.m.?

You are as good as dead.

You're only alive because of my black magic.

If you use excessive strength in your condition,

your body won't be able to withstand it.

I don't care.

You can try to hold on as long as you wish.

I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

I won't back down.

Are you in pain?

If you don't give up, you will surely die.

Who are you...

to worry about me?

Lord Choi!

Lord Choi.

Are you okay?

Lord Choi.

Lord Choi.

I'll distract them.

You go and find Yeon-hee.

I'm asking you because you're her protective boundary,

not because I trust you.

Stop him.

Your Majesty!

What happened?

Has Hong-joo made a move? What about the King?

His Majesty just followed Hong-joo and went into the Hall of Stars.

We don't have much time left.

What is Lord Choi doing?

Crown Prince.

You waited for a long time.

Now just do as I say.

Do you understand?

Crown Prince.

Stab her in the heart

with that dagger.

Then you will gain a new body.

What are you doing? Do it.

She should have died in your place anyway.

You ended up like that because of her.

Go on. Stab her in the heart.

Stab her, right now!

What are you doing? Stab her.

Yeon-hee.

So you're this child's protective boundary.

It was you.

You're the one behind the Red Robe.

You're the real murderer.

You should know that fighting me means risking your life.

My life?

That's not a problem.

Then you won't be upset if you were to die.

Kill him.

No!

Take Yeon-hee and go.

Yeon-hee.

Are you all right?

What do you mean?

Yeon-hee's curse was activated.

How did you get here without harm?

Whose heart changed?

You should know by now that she is the Princess.

Anyone the Princess loves

and anyone who loves the Princess

will all die.

That's her curse.

Now that you're free from the curse,

your decision should be easier to make.

You must kill the cursed Princess for the nation and the King.

Will you help me?

If I kill you,

Yeon-hee will return to her old self.

If you kill me,

she will never be free from her curse

and will remain in that hideous state.

Was it that difficult to see her in that state?

It's not your fault.

She is a hideous monster, not the woman you loved.

That's why we need to kill her.

Shut your mouth.

I am the only one who can save His Majesty.

If you don't believe me, go ahead and kill me,

and see what happens to the King and the Princess.

Poong-yeon.

Yeon-hee.

Are you awake? Are you okay?

Are you hurt? You must have been so scared.

You promised to stay by my side.

You promised to stay with me.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I won't leave you again.

I'll stay with you.

Are you all right?

Luckily, the wounds aren't that serious.

I'll recover shortly.

So don't worry.

What happened to Poong-yeon?

Does Yeon-hee's curse no longer have a hold on him?

I find it strange as well,

but it's a relief.

He is safe now.

What did Hong-joo do to you?

Did she use black magic on you?

Her black magic is what's keeping me alive.

However, I'm losing control over my body.

I don't think I can hold on for much longer.

Lord Choi.

Once I've succumbed to the black magic,

I'll be unable to control my body as I want.

I still have so much to do for Yeon-hee before that happens.

Yo-gwang.

Lord Choi.

Let me help.

Remain seated.

My apologies, Your Highness.

Thank you. You've saved the royal family from great harm.

However, Hong-joo won't stop here.

She won't give up easily.

That child.

Yeon-hee, was it?

I saw that child.

You said she must break the curse for this tragedy to end, did you not?

Yes, I did.

Are you awake?

What happened?

You said I would be healed once the ritual is over.

Did you deceive me?

My apologies, Your Majesty.

Lord Hyun-seo Choi and his son interfered with the ritual,

so we were unable to complete it.

What was that?

Why would Poong-yeon do that?

Shut your mouth.

Your Majesty, how much do you trust Poong-yeon Choi?

Are you trying...

to get between Poong-yeon and me?

Of course not.

I only asked because I was curious.

I wondered if the loyalty between the King and his subject

can remain steadfast in the face of danger and misfortune.

That's all.

From what I've heard,

Lord Hyun-seo Choi raised the Princess as if she were his daughter.

Her name is Yeon-hee.

Poong-yeon apparently didn't know that she was the Princess.

That's probably why he didn't tell you.

What is this place?

Go in.

There is someone who wants to meet you.

Are you Yeon-hee?

Yes, I am.

But who are you?

I am...

I'm...

I'm sure this is all very sudden, but will you let me explain?

What's going on?

I don't know either.

She needs to know the truth,

but I don't know if this was the best way.

But I don't have a better idea.

I just don't know.

What?

It's just...

Is there something wrong?

Lord Choi.

Is she with the Queen Dowager?

Yes, she is.

It's good to see you again.

I didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday.

I'll get straight to the point and ask you a question.

What is it?

Last night, a woman named Hong-joo

manipulated His Majesty and tried to kill Yeon-hee.

She called the King the Crown Prince.

Does Yeon-hee's curse have anything to do with the King?

Long ago,

because I was barren and without child,

I received help from Hong-joo.

I gave birth to a beautiful boy and a girl.

I later found out that both of my babies were cursed.

She told me that only one of them could stay alive.

I desperately wanted a prince to succeed the throne.

So I chose the Crown Prince.

I...

I abandoned my daughter. I abandoned you.

But you survived.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think you have mistaken me for someone else.

I don't even have the right to ask for your forgiveness.

I was heartless and ruthless.

Why are you saying that to me?

You can hate and blame me.

You don't have to accept me as your mother, either.

Just...

Please break this curse.

Last night,

Hong-joo tried to kill you through the Crown Prince's spirit

so that she can spread the curse to the entire royal family.

It's my fault.

It's my fault because I tolerated her use of black magic.

It was me who made Prince Soon-hoe and you suffer like this.

I don't understand

what you're saying.

That shaman said

it was her fault for brining me into the world.

Is that true?

Hong-joo will try to kill you again.

I'll no longer allow

Hong-joo to desecrate the royal family.

Princess,

you're the only one who can stop Hong-joo.

I'll help you.

I'll do whatever it takes.

Please help me and your brother, Prince Soon-hoe,

break out of Hong-joo's control.

Please save the royal family.

My child.

Please don't call me that.

Father.

Father.

I missed you.

I missed you so much.

A woman has been telling me strange things.

She claims to be my mother

and says that I'm the Princess.

She also said it's all her fault.

Was I born because someone made a mistake?

Am I not supposed to exist?

Please tell me

who I really am.

Father.

Father.

Your Highness,

I, Hyun-seo Choi, am honored to stand before you.

To protect you from the curse,

I had to confine you in the Black Forest.

Father, please don't say that.

It's all my fault,

so please don't say that.

I know it's not easy, but you must accept it.

The only one who can confront Hong-joo

and dispel the curse she's trying to place on the nation

is you, Your Highness

Please don't do this to me.

I apologize

for not telling you sooner.

Hong-joo is behind the Red Robe.

She killed innocent people,

and is planning things behind your back.

I'll arrest her immediately and hold her accountable for her actions.

Hong-joo told me to stay away from you.

And you're saying that I should stay away from her?

Your Majesty.

You're the one I trust,

not her.

Poong-yeon,

I think of you as a true friend.

I trust your loyalty.

I also know your compassion towards me is genuine.

I don't want to be affected by Hong-joo's lies.

I heard that the name of the Princess

is Yeon-hee.

If you know where she is,

bring her here by midnight tomorrow.

Please don't let me down.

Why did you want to come here?

I want to ask Poong-yeon.

I can't believe what...

that woman and my father said.

Will you believe it if your brother says it's true?

I hope he says...

it's not true.

What is it like to have a mother?

I don't know what it's like

to have a mother.

When I was young,

I would come home crying after being teased by my friends.

When that happened,

my mother would hold my hand, just like this.

Her hands were so warm

that they comforted me.

All mothers feel the same way about their child.

So...

don't be so sad.

She said she abandoned me

because I was cursed.

Why do I have to deal with her?

Who am I?

I'm not sure who I am.

The girl I met at the Black Forest,

the girl at the Chungbing Temple,

and the girl who is right here with me,

are all just Yeon-hee to me.

I don't care if you're cursed,

if you have white or black hair, or if you're the Princess.

You are just...

Yeon-hee to me.

Where have you been? I haven't seen you around.

I went looking for you.

I couldn't find you.

A lot of things happened.

Where are you going?

I have to see Yeon-hee.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

Are you hesitating because of Poong-yeon?

No.

I hesitated only because I knew he was too strong for me.

I heard warriors lose their lives if they hesitate.

If you're hesitating because of Poong-yeon,

I can get rid of him.

He will meet the Princess again.

Didn't you want me to win his trust because of the Princess?

I'll make sure to find out where the Princess is hiding.

Please allow me to carry out my task.

Keep this in mind.

There is nothing else that could destroy you like love.

Don't go.

Do you really have to go?

I'm sorry.

I only said that because you don't look so good.

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Are you okay?

Is Jun Heo...

close to Yeon-hee?

The symbol of the curse appeared on his body.

Is that true?

The curse must have canceled out because he is the protective boundary.

That boundary must be protecting his body.

Weren't you trying to capture the Red Robe with him?

Did you find anything?

I really have to catch him, too.

If you have any clues, please share them with me. I'll help you.

Oh, my. Are you hurt?

I have nothing to tell you, so please shut your mouth.

You're distracting me.

Are you feeling all right?

Are you really okay?

Poong-yeon.

Did you know about me?

I just found out, too.

What should I do now?

I want to live as my father's daughter and your sister.

Nothing has changed.

Yeon-hee, I'll be by your side as I have been in the past.

Many people died because of my curse.

You might get hurt.

I don't care about that curse.

Come with me.

I'll find a place like the Black Forest.

We can live there.

I'll protect you.

I have something to show you.

Please come with me.

This is Chungbing Temple, where I'm staying.

I've been lighting up these candles during my stay here.

I wanted to break the curse

because I wanted to return to Father and you.

I'll help you break that curse.

I'll help you so that you don't have to turn into that hideous monster again.

Poong-yeon.

That hideous monster...

and the girl before you...

are part of who I am.

I'm sorry, Yeon-hee.

I'm very tired.

I must go.

Poong-yeon, please.

Poong-yeon.

That hideous monster

isn't you.

I'll stay in touch.

You can't handle that much alcohol. You shouldn't drink so much.

Sol-gae.

I hurt...

Yeon-hee again.

I told her that I'll protect her,

but I can't do anything.

Master.

The King asked me to bring Yeon-hee to him.

How could he be so cruel?

He's asking me to bring Yeon-hee to her death.

Do you know what's worse?

Although I'm afraid that I'll lose her,

I'm thinking of following his order.

I am agonizing over what the King has ordered me to do.

I don't know what to do about Yeon-hee.

I hate myself.

I hate myself for wanting to run away with Yeon-hee

because I don't know what to do.

Get up.

Get up.

How long will you stay in bed?

You can't pretend to be sick forever.

You should go to work if you don't want to get dismissed.

I don't want to. Just leave me alone.

You fool.

Fool?

Yes, I am foolish.

This is all because of you.

I must look like a fool compared to Jun.

If you couldn't give me looks, you should at least have given me brains.

Father did nothing wrong.

This is all because of you.

Stop speaking nonsense and eat.

Do you know what this is?

This is beef served at the King's table.

I sent it to him to make him remember you.

You're the one who caught the fake Red Robe,

but it was the King who closed the case without investigating it further.

The King is on your side. You have nothing to worry about.

The King will never be on my side.

When Jun finds out the truth, he will blame me for everything.

That's why you need to obtain a higher rank.

You need to ensure that Jun can't touch you.

What does it mean to rule over people?

It means that you're above the people.

If you get a higher position, more people will be below you.

When that time comes,

you will be able to get rid of Jun.

All right, then.

There is nothing like beef that gives you energy.

Regain your strength and go back to work.

Here you are.

I'll make sure to send gifts from time to time.

So you need to do your best to get noticed by the King.

Do you understand?

Make sure to chew well.

Poong-yeon.

What is it?

Why didn't you tell me?

If only you had told me,

I wouldn't have brought Yeon-hee out of the Black Forest.

If I didn't do that,

I would never have hurt Yeon-hee.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why?

Things must be very confusing for you right now.

I know that I have no one to blame.

It's all my fault.

Everything is my fault.

Father.

What should I do now?

Just make sure that your feelings don't change.

My feelings haven't changed.

My heart still longs for Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee is the only one I have loved.

But suddenly, she changed into someone else.

How could I easily accept this?

Yeon-hee didn't change.

She's just in danger.

You must protect her as her brother.

Her brother?

No.

I won't do it any more.

Poong-yeon.

What would have changed if you knew about the curse?

If you can't accept it now,

you couldn't have accepted it then.

Poong-yeon.

I would do anything to stop you from getting hurt.

But I also do hope you protect this country as a faithful servant.

If that's your duty,

I wish you would fulfill it

even if it meant sacrificing your life.

If you can't be her man,

be her brother.

Be a faithful servant.

Protect the Princess.

No.

I don't care if she's the Princess or is she's a monster.

I am going to bring back

the woman I loved.

Master.

Seo-ri.

Jun.

Master.

Master.

Seo-ri.

How did you find me?

So you've been struggling to light candles, haven't you?

You tried to break the curse.

I'm sure you didn't have a clue

that so many people had to die because of those candles.

Do you remember what I said?

I said people will die because of you.

He will die because of you as well.

Jun...

Die.

You deserve to die.

Die, you witch.

Die!

SECRET HEALER

It's because of my curse.

This is the last thing I can do.

If Yeon-hee fails to break the curse,

he will suffer tremendous pain and die within 15 days.

Please don't go.

Leave Jun Heo here and come with me.

What you've said meant everything in the world to me.

But I am no longer that girl.

It's an amnesia potion. You can save your life if you drink it.

Who turned away from your love?

Say that again.

We will be linked by blood.

Now, you and I'll stand together until the day we die.

The Princess should never get caught for the stability of this nation.

Run after him and bring his sister to me.

Did you hide the Princess?

I'll move into the Palace.
