(All characters, organizations, places, and events are fictional.)

In the 1920s,

the dispute between diplomacy and armed activities within the KPG...

intensified into the form of ideological conflict.

Furthermore, the assassination of Kim Lip...

and the disappearance of the 600,000 rubles...

which was funded by the Russians led to an explosion of conflicts.

Rhee Syng Man, Ahn Chang Ho, and Yi Dong Hwi...

left the Korean Provisional Government,

and President Kim Gu of the Korean Provisional Government,

in 1931,

broke away from a diplomatic approach...

and formed a secret armed nationalists group...

known as Korean Patriotic Corps.

Alongside Kim Won Bong's Heroic Corps,

he led Korea's armed independence fighters.

However, due to conflict...

and distrust within the organizations,

chaos continued with no assurance of an end.

(Gyeongseong, 1931)

No!

Over my dead body!

(Jahye Clinic)

- Tell him to hurry. - Let go!

- No! - Sir, please!

My stomach!

My stomach's killing me. Gosh!

Like I said, you need surgery.

You too?

Let go of me!

My goodness.

Can't you tell by his complexion that he needs immediate treatment?

Our bodies were bestowed on us by our parents.

An incision of any sort would be the worst betrayal.

Also, you're a woman.

A woman!

- Hold on. - Sir, please.

Yes, I'm a woman,

and I'm the doctor who'll save your life.

If you're not rushed into surgery,

your spirit will be the one being invited to dinner.

How dare you!

As in a rite?

My stomach is killing me.

I'm dying.

- Hold him down. Go on. - No!

- No! - Grab him.

No, get away from me.

It'll sting, sir.

- Let's head to the OR. - Sure.

Let's carry him.

- Okay, let's go. - Move!

Open the doors.

Where's Hyeok?

He'll never betray us.

If he does,

I'll change my name.

I'll change my surname to Poop.

He hasn't been in contact since Gyeongseong.

We need more.

He must be busy...

eating kimchi with rice wine and meeting all his relatives.

Seriously?

I was only joking.

This is the first time he hasn't reported back.

(Kim Won Bong, Leader of Heroic Corps)

When he shows up,

we shoot to kill.

Let's interrogate him first.

I'm sure he has a good reason.

Nam Ok.

There's no reason behind a betrayal.

Of course, there is.

Lack of money, missing one's family, and the hatred for Joseon.

No matter how reasonable it is,

betrayal ends in death.

Darn him.

We kill him upon sight. Got it?

Understood.

(Matsurra, Noh Jeong Sul, Secret Police)

Lower your hands.

I am Chief Inspector Matsurra.

He is Detective Daiki.

That piece of scum.

To transfer ships, you must pay the fare.

(Park Hyeok, Member of Heroic Corps)

What? Want to negotiate?

You sure are thick for a criminal.

This time,

you must help me.

(Shanghai, One Month Prior)

He exists, but his identity is unknown.

(Jin Soo, Member of Cheongbang)

Whether he took part in Kim Lip's assassination...

is uncertain.

(Kim Lip, Independence fighter assassinated by secret agents)

If KPG's goal is Comintern...

(Comintern, the Communist International)

Doctor Yoo Tae Joon will be in trouble.

(Yoo Tae Joon, Doctor, Independence activist,)

(Procures funding and weapons for Comintern)

It can decipher the code.

Check the paper on January 19.

Are you sure he's in Gyeongseong?

Yes.

A secret agent of KPG.

That is the Intel.

Kill him.

You amusing little punk.

You dare ask for a deal?

At least give me something worthy of one.

If not, get lost.

Shoot.

Shoot.

Shoot him!

I can't.

Kim Gu's spy is in Gyeongseong.

He will take action.

A bomb or an assassination.

His name?

How do I locate him?

Promise me...

that you'll send me to Japan.

Where's the spy?

Darn you.

The bell tower!

Don't you die.

Darn!

Stay with me, you rat!

Come on. Hurry!

Sir, are you all right?

It only grazed.

Have this place guarded.

2 outside, 1 by his ward.

- Quickly. - Yes, sir.

Look at these plump potatoes.

Take some home with you.

I told you not to receive such gifts.

The goat we were given had babies, remember?

She has no children and her husband passed away.

Her father-in-law is her only family,

so she was grateful...

You saw his complexion, right?

If it led to peritonitis, he'd have been in serious trouble.

Exactly.

Esther!

It's been so long.

Have you been well?

Are you the new surgeon joining us?

I look forward to working with you.

- You work here now? - Yes.

Why didn't you give me a heads-up?

Dr. Lee, it's a patient with a gunshot wound.

A gunshot wound?

Esther, we'll catch up later.

Don't go anywhere,

all right?

Who's he?

I'm Chief Inspector Matsurra, of Jongno Police Station.

Please leave the operation room.

You wouldn't say that...

if you knew who your patient was.

I don't care.

In the OR, he's just a patient in critical condition.

His pulse is weakening.

Didn't you hear me?

Get him out of here.

Please wait outside.

- Did you check his blood type? - Not yet.

Find a universal donor then. Anaesthetics?

The patient isn't conscious.

Be on standby though. We'll now begin.

A gunshot wound to the abdomen. It's probably fatal.

Who are you to assume so?

I'm sorry.

[VIU Ver] MBC E01 'Different Dreams' "Female Doctor of Joseon" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(Namdaemun street, Heroic Corps Headquarters)

Come on.

What are you still uneasy about?

A shot to the abdomen is fatal.

No doctor in Gyeongseong is good enough to patch him up.

Brother,

even thieves fall into different categories.

Some might commit theft to pay for drinks,

but some might do so to feed their kids.

People like Hyeok?

We'll come across many more like him.

What is independence anyway?

We leave our families behind...

and can't even participate in our fathers' memorial service.

At times, I'm sick and tired...

Code 10 of the Heroic Corps.

"Those who act against the Heroic Corps' wishes..."

"will be terminated."

You and I...

are still alive...

because of that code.

Because we eliminated all traitors.

Hesitate once more...

and...

I'll kill you myself.

Got it?

You hear me?

I got it.

Him and his temper.

You.

How did it go?

The doctor will be out shortly.

When will he wake up?

The bullet was removed,

but he'll be touch-and-go for a few days due to an infection.

I wasn't asking whether he'd live or not.

Can you wake him up for an interrogation?

That may be your agenda,

but my job is to save my patient.

My job is to save lives too.

There's something I must hear from him.

Whatever it is,

you'll have to wait.

The spy sent by KPG.

We must find him.

Bluebird?

Hyeok knows something that we don't.

He has Intel on the spy...

and that's what he was going to trade.

Why not just contact KPG?

Have it out with Kim Gu.

Why don't you do it,

Mr. Poop?

I'd prefer excrement.

The Joseon Governor Office and the KPG...

may have different end-games,

but they're both after the missing money.

It's always about the money.

I'm sick and tired of it.

Bluebird is the closest to the money's whereabouts.

We'll interrogate or persuade him.

Either way, we must find Bluebird first.

I've been busy too, but you haven't been in contact at all.

Are you here for good?

You're thrown heaps of work here, but none of your efforts show.

It's not an ideal workplace.

Young Jin.

Have you heard anything...

about Tae Joon?

(Yoo Tae Joon, Doctor, Independence Activist)

No one's heard from him for 10 years.

Why are you suddenly asking about him?

It's nothing.

Being back in Gyeongseong...

brought back some memories.

(Joseon Governor Office)

(Kenta, Commissioner)

At ease.

I hear someone was shot.

It was a member of the Heroic Corps who was about to give me Intel.

- His current condition? - He had a good doctor,

and will probably live.

How much did he give up?

Kim Gu's spy is in Gyeongseong...

and he is planning a major assassination.

You listen to me.

An incident in Gyeongseong...

will give the military police ammunition.

They'll want jurisdiction again.

I'll wake him up and procure the rest of the Intel.

Please authorize the emergency measure.

Go ahead.

(Club Gyeongseong)

The man who's being poured the drink.

He is the newly appointed Prosecutor Fukuda.

This is his father's home country,

and he's one of Joseon's most powerful politicians.

Is he married?

Of course not.

Look at her.

She's acting like she couldn't care less.

He's not my type.

Is that so?

Can I make a move then?

Do whatever you want.

It's me.

Your dinner's running late.

I waited for you.

You should've eaten without me.

I wanted to, but...

He's been waiting for you.

- Go and get changed. - Sure.

(Hiroshi, Vice-director of Government General Hospital,)

(General of Military Police Headquarters)

Why did you take that out?

Do you want to play with it?

A Hina Japanese doll must not leave its glass case.

(Hina Doll wish for the welfare of young girls.)

For the doll, the outside world is...

too dirty and dangerous.

I see you're home.

We have a new surgeon at the hospital. It's Esther.

Is it the same Esther we know?

Yes.

Didn't she say she'd work...

at the Government General Hospital after finishing her studies?

She must be fond of where Young Jin works.

Can I invite her over some time?

It's all right, isn't it?

I'll leave family affairs to you.

Sure.

(Medical Record Archives)

(Nagumo Chuichi)

What a great meal.

Have you enjoyed your time?

Well, we'd love to have you back.

Come again.

What did you find out?

1 in the chest, 1 in the stomach.

I think he barely lived. He's at Jahye Clinic.

What is it?

Should I take care of him instead?

No, it should be me.

You seem to be in too much of a hurry sometimes.

That's our signature move.

We act as soon as we make up our minds.

This is one long battle.

It's more like a marathon.

Thanks for the drink, you buffoon.

Hey.

But I haven't had a drink yet.

Hey!

Take care of yourself.

Esther.

Yes?

What you said has been on my mind.

Regarding what.

Tae Joon.

You know why he disappeared, right?

The assassination attempt of the governor caused an uproar.

Rumour has it that he's still active in the field.

How you remember Tae Joon is completely up to you.

However,

I don't want to be caught up in what he does.

The three of us...

were quite close, weren't we?

If one of us dies though,

will the others even hear the news?

What do you mean by that?

It's nothing.

Dr. Lee!

Dr. Lee!

You won't believe what's happening!

Hurry. I don't have all day.

- What are you doing? - Doctor...

The detectives told us to wake him up.

And? What's in the syringe?

Epinephrine.

Are you insane?

(Epinephrine, stimulates the sympathetic nervous system)

If you won't do it, I will.

I'm his doctor.

You will not touch him without my permission.

Article 1 of the Maintenance of the Public Order Act.

Members of an organization...

that acts to radically distort this nation...

can be questioned and held without being processed.

Forcing him to wake up might put him in shock.

Are you good with him dying?

I thought he was important to you.

He can die...

as long as he says what I need to hear.

Then,

I'll hold you responsible.

(Episode 2 will air shortly.)

(Episode 2)

Tell me.

Who is this spy?

Today,

I will die.

Tell me!

Bluebird.

Among the people of Joseon,

someone will die.

What?

Please help me...

Sedative. Bring me a sedative!

Okay.

Sir.

Sir!

Keijo Imperial University's medical department,

alumni of Severance Hospital,

those who received their medical licenses,

and Joseon women.

Investigate them in this order.

And trace everyone among them...

who are still in Gyeongseong.

Yes, sir.

A female doctor of Joseon?

Is that true?

A Joseon, female doctor will drop a bomb?

It's not a bomb.

But still, someone's going to die.

These are gauzes. They were omitted.

You can put them here.

Hold on.

- Dr. Lee Young Jin is... - She's Japanese.

On top of that, her adoptive father...

is the vice-director of Government General Hospital.

That's impossible.

Right?

Is something wrong?

What do you need to talk about?

Do you want to come over?

Not today.

A Joseon,

female doctor.

Young Jin.

Yes?

You're acting strange.

Let's go first.

Young Jin.

Do you know what the first thing...

that patient who was shot said after he woke up?

He said a spy would murder him.

And that spy...

would be a Joseon, female doctor.

You're not even surprised.

I heard him from outside.

Is it...

you?

I've always wanted to ask you this.

Are you Korean...

or Japanese?

What do you mean?

Don't you know why...

Tae Joon...

and the people he's helping...

are doing such things?

Or...

do you want to turn a blind eye to it?

Are you scolding me...

for not helping those bombers?

Just because you were raised by Japanese parents...

doesn't mean you suddenly become one.

They won't stop here.

They will invade China and the entire continent of Asia.

Why are you telling me this?

You shouldn't have said that.

Talking about how I'm Korean or Japanese...

You shouldn't...

have said that.

- Young Jin... - I'm just me.

I'm Lee Young Jin.

I'm warning you.

Stop what you're going to do...

immediately.

Leave the hospital.

I'll keep it a secret.

Young Jin.

(Jahye Clinic)

Didn't you get off work?

I need to check up on the patient.

I need to go to the bathroom, so you can stay until then.

If you stay silent, I will let you live.

Do you understand?

How is he?

He doesn't have any fatal damages to his internal organs.

As long as there are no infections,

he'll live.

He's not waking up.

When he did briefly,

he had a shock.

In order to calm him down,

I've given him a sedative.

What did he say?

He said...

someone was going to kill him.

A spy.

A Joseon, female doctor.

Bluebird.

Do you have anything to drink? A cup of coffee would be best.

I'm sorry, but we only have barley tea.

At least, it's not just plain water.

Wait a minute, please.

Don't.

He has betrayed his comrades and his country.

He's unconscious.

I will scream.

Then you'll die as well.

Aren't you afraid...

of me and this gun I'm holding?

I am.

If I scream and try to run,

you'll shoot me.

This is the choice I need to make...

to live.

If you want to kill him, do it when he's conscious...

and discharged from this hospital.

Do it then.

Has she left?

No.

Duck.

- Move aside. - A patient is in this room.

Duck.

Drop your gun!

Dr. Lee, please come...

this way!

Hurry up!

[VIU Ver] MBC E02 'Different Dreams' "Kim Esther" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(Jongno Police Station)

There were no Joseon, female doctors at the Government General Hospital.

Neither at Keijo Imperial University.

Among the alumni of Severance Hospital,

I've found one.

However, I can't trace her whereabouts after her graduation.

Who is that woman from Jahye Clinic? Right, Lee Young Jin.

She's Korean as well.

Well...

She's registered as a Japanese.

Also,

her adoptive father is General Hiroshi of the military police.

Hiroshi?

He's also the vice-director of the Government General Hospital.

That is correct.

Just in case,

search all the small-sized hospitals.

Find any new recruits who fit the criteria.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Someone tried to kill him.

He was right in front of you, yet you failed to kill him?

See?

You can finally understand me, right?

He betrayed his country and his comrades,

but because we've grown fond of each other, we can't kill him.

Killing someone isn't easy, you know?

Hyeok...

was unconscious.

I wanted to ask him...

why he did that.

He held on even when his parents died.

Even when we ran barefoot,

he endured it all. So why?

Why did he do that?

Brother.

Let me ask you something.

Why are you fighting for our country's independence?

What grand reason do you have...

that you'd be willing to sacrifice your own life?

Aren't you ashamed?

We're being persecuted...

as if we're animals.

What reason do I need...

to reclaim my own country?

Let me repeat myself.

I will never forgive them.

Those who stole this country from us...

and the degenerates who have sided with them.

I will never forgive them. Do you understand?

I do.

From now on,

I won't try...

to dissuade you.

Wait a minute.

What happened to her?

The doctor.

You said she saw your face.

What did he say?

He said...

someone was going to kill him.

A spy. A Joseon, female doctor.

Bluebird.

We need to do a background check.

On whom?

On a Korean,

female doctor.

Did you call this patient?

Yes.

He's Chief Nagumo of the military police.

He gets his annual checkups at our hospital.

Nothing in particular came up during his last checkup.

We could've missed it.

Lung X-rays turn out differently every time you take them.

As a preventive measure, I'm going to do a blood test and take X-rays.

I see.

I heard you were in danger yesterday.

I'm fine.

That patient woke up at dawn, and the police just took him.

Who allowed him?

This place isn't safe.

The director gave his permission.

I'll take care of the patient,

so please move the X-ray machine to the examination room.

Okay.

I'd like to apologize...

for yesterday.

I was being careless.

You're right. You are just...

Lee Young Jin.

Leave the hospital. I don't need to hear anything more.

Young Jin.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to understand.

Tomorrow...

In a few hours,

I'll be leaving.

I won't...

ever come back.

Just make sure not to involve me.

Moreover,

I won't allow such a thing to happen in this hospital.

Leave Gyeongseong.

You're in danger.

Are you afraid...

that they'll raid this place?

This punk doesn't know how to be grateful.

Hey.

Is there another hideout for you guys other than this place?

I am thankful.

On that note, let me stay here for a while longer.

- You will pay me, okay? - Brother!

Brother!

What is wrong with you?

I found out who that female is.

She worked as a doctor for Ji Cheong Cheon.

You know, our principal.

That woman is the spy.

She's Bluebird.

Darn it.

It's an honor.

My name is Kim Esther.

Are you the one...

who called me about a finding in my lungs?

Yes.

It's a very small one,

but you should never overlook anything in your lungs.

You're right.

It's best to nip it in the bud.

You already took the patient, so why are you back?

I had something to check.

It hasn't been long, so we haven't registered her yet.

Are you sure...

this Esther is Korean?

Yes.

I need to use your phone.

Tomorrow...

In a few hours,

I'll be leaving.

I won't...

ever come back.

What are you going to do?

She's our lead...

to finding Yoo Tae Jun.

Didn't you say that she was going to kill someone?

That she even had a bomb?

If she's killed or gets caught, it's all over.

We need to stop her.

You may not enter.

I'm a doctor here.

You can enter once the examination is over.

It's an emergency. I need to see the doctor.

Not right now.

It'll be over soon.

Esther!

Esther!

Please open the door!

Esther! Esther!

You can't enter!

- Esther, open the door! - Hey!

What is this injection? Who are you?

Nagumo Chuichi.

This is for my family that has died because of you!

- Guard! - Sir!

- Sir! - Guard!

Die!

Kill her!

Esther.
