Original subtitles

Everyone has heard of Hwata, the legendary skilled physician. (Hwata = Chinese: Hua Tuo)

Wounds, poisoning, chronic illnesses of many decades,

there was nothing he could not cure.

But what was most amazing was his talent for surgery.

Four patients with paralysis were given general anesthesia,

then they were treated by having their bodies split open and internal organs removed.

At that same time, Jojo was campaigning to unify the world. (Jojo = Chinese: Cao Cao)

He suffered from a chronic illness of excruciating headaches.

Hwata went into his room and cured him easily using a few silver needles.

Jojo was so appreciative of Hwata's talent, he wanted to make him his personal physician.

But Hwata fled instead.

He did not wish to spend his life taking care of just one patient.

Jojo's men were ordered to pursue Hwata and bring him back.

"You just need to follow me back to meet the Prime Minister."

"You will enjoy endless wealth and glory for your remaining days."

"If a dog isn't allowed to bark, then what's the joy in having great wealth?"

"As long as you're willing to work for the Prime Minister, the whole world will sing your praises."

"See, Hwata is the miracle doctor who saved Jojo, the man who rules the world."

"What if I say no?"

"Those who defy him can only die."

"It looks as though Jojo is going to be remembered

as the one who killed Hwata, the man who saved the lives of the world."

At that moment,

the sun in the heavens commanded the wind and a portal opened.

Laughing and smiling... Hwata entered into the portal.

-= Episode 1 =-

-= Year 1351 - near the border with Yuan =- (Yuan Dynasty- Mongol's dynasty in China 1271-1368)

Over there... Is it Hwata?

There are people following us.

I know.

From the look of it, they're not peasants.

I know.

1. 2. 3.

Is the boat ready?

General! There aren't any boats.

What are you talking about?

How can there not be a single boat available?

There just isn't.

They said there isn't a single boat that can sail right now.

They said they expect two boats to return tomorrow afternoon.

We will have to stay here overnight.

What do you mean stay? Why here?

Goryeo is just across the river. Exactly why... (Goryeo - Korea)

As you wish.

Then I will have things ready.

Look here, Wudalchi! Wudalchi!

I say, Wudalchi!

We should go and find an inn for the night.

Innkeeper, my master just got married recently.

But they are both extremely sensitive.

They wish only their own people to take care of them.

Here, it's more than enough, right?

Just think of it as your lucky day. Please go home and rest.

Yes.

Hurry and tell them all to leave.

It's closing time. Finish eating and leave quickly.

Don't just stand there.

Customer, please.

What is this?

Let's go.

Do you think they got rid of the boats?

Probably.

Then do you think they also knew we would have to spend the night at an inn?

You said this was the only inn.

So you knew that and still chose to stay here?

Would you rather plant our flag in an open field and wait for them to attack us?

So how should we defend now?

Do it... very... well.

Yes.

Group A, close the windows and block the doors using the tables.

The enemy arrived before us,

so we should be on high alert.

As soon as we arrive in Goryeo, the first thing you should do is kill that Wudalchi.

When I heard that this was the escort sent from Goryeo to protect you, I understood.

This is an insult!

Ten years.

Yes. It's been more than 10 years since Your Majesty has been home.

Yuan politely calls you a Prince of Goryeo.

When you were young, they forcibly took you there and held you as hostage.

Finally, Your Majesty is now able to return to Goryeo.

But what is the meaning of this?

They should be waving hundreds of flags, with thousands of soldiers to escort you.

But what? You cannot wear your dragon robes and cannot show your face?

We cannot call you "Your Majesty"!

Of all the ridiculous, disrespectful...

Those bastards should all...!

I will be bringing the Queen to this room.

How dare you enter His Majesty's quarters without knocking?

It is too difficult to guard multiple rooms.

I know that the two of you do not have the best relationship, but please understand.

You bastard!

Do you know how to use a sword?

Please guard that window.

Guard... What do you mean guard the window?

You...!

Where are you going?

You must stay near us so that we can protect you.

I will take care of my own life.

There are more of them than we expected.

Even if you are scared, you must stay by my side.

Can you do that?

I will not run.

Then... I will be able to protect you.

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Catch them alive! Don't let them get away!

Jang Bin.

General.

I will need some of your energy.

-=Applying energy to slow the blood flow and the heartbeat=-

-=The energy flows with the blood. If the energy is stopped, the blood flow will stop.=-

Catch them!

Don't let even one of them escape!

Don't kill them!

I told you not to kill them.

What happened? What is this?

Hey, didn't I tell you not to kill them, you bastards?

I said we needed to find out who sent them! Didn't I say that?

That's not it.

What's not it?

These bastards. They killed themselves!

Doctor! Doctor! Dr. Jang, have you lost your senses? What are you doing?

Just as you see, I'm currently treating the wounded.

You first must save the Queen.

Don't you understand the situation now?

We could all end up dead!

Here, let's go right now!

- Pharmacist! - Yes?

Come and take care of this.

This could be the end of our Goryeo.

Your Majesty, you know who our Queen is.

She is a Yuan princess.

How can we just let her die by the roadside?

There have been rumors saying that Goryeo will become a vassal state of Yuan.

What will happen if their princess dies here?

This would be the opportunity they are looking for,

that would let them swallow Goryeo whole.

Is there no hope for her?

The large blood vessel in her neck has been cut.

I've slowed the bleeding by reducing the blood flow through acupuncture.

-=path through which the life-energy known as "qi" flows=- I've slowed the bleeding by reducing the blood flow through acupuncture.

-=path through which the life-energy known as "qi" flows=- But it's only a temporary measure.

But it's only a temporary measure.

If the blood vessel is cut, just put it back together!

It was very difficult to slow her pulse.

If we disturb the blood energy by moving her, she may bleed to death quickly.

No... No... We must save her.

Only a Divine Healer would be able to save her.

What? A Divine Healer?

If that woman dies, our country dies.

Wudalchi, what do you think?

I'm just a warrior, so I don't deal in politics.

It looks like as soon as I become king, the country is destroyed.

I'm quite a great king.

There is, Your Majesty,

a divine healer.

Very near here.

And I know where he is.

Where is he? I'll have my men find him.

He is in Heaven, but I know where the portal to the sky is.

Right over there.

That is Dr. Jang. He is considered the best healer in Goryeo.

Even he said it's impossible, so we can now only appeal to Heaven.

If we do, would the Heavens save her?

What's important is you must pray to God with all your heart.

"The people were so sad to see his profound grief."

"He fasted and prayed for her continuously for 3 days and 3 nights."

These are the kind of things that those in Yuan should hear about.

So you think we can hold back their anger by doing all this?

This is all for Goryeo.

Then go and make the preparations.

You honor me.

Can Her Highness be moved?

No, she cannot.

I will divide the troops, leaving most of the men here,

since it appears that their target was the Queen.

Wudalchi.

It's very far from Goryeo to Yuan, right?

Yes, it's far.

What were you thinking along the way as you escorted me over such a long distance?

I didn't really think much.

What I'm asking is, how did you see me as a King?

To have a wise and benevolent king

is really fortunate for the people. This is what I thought.

Should I say more?

You... don't like me.

Me?

You didn't like me even before you met me, right?

Your Majesty, if I were to answer that,

then I would have to die.

Why do you hate me? I am your King.

Just tell me truthfully.

Will you tell me if I make it a royal command?

When the late Prince Gyeongchang ascended the throne, he was only 14.

Because he was too young to fulfill his duties, Yuan had him dethroned.

I know.

Your Majesty is 21 years old.

Whether 14 or 21, they're both too young for a king.

Moreover, you have lived in Yuan since the age of 10.

The Yuan way of thinking is in your bones.

"Our people of Goryeo are really unlucky

to have someone like this be the King."

That was what I was thinking.

That is all.

Everyone else probably thinks the same way, right?

The people of Goryeo.

You're already the 5th King in the past 12 years.

I doubt they thought much about it at all.

For telling me your true feelings, thank you.

Your Majesty.

That means I don't especially dislike you.

-=King Gongmin, Goryeo's 31st King.=-

-=Choe Yeong, General of the Wudalchi (Royal Guards) at the time.=-

Your Majesty.

It is said that this natural spring,

is the legendary portal through which

Hwata flew to the Heavens 1000 years ago.

While in the Heavens, Hwata has nurtured many disciples.

Once every 300 years, his disciples may enter our world through this portal.

That is how the legend goes.

In other words, you think we should pray through this small opening?

It's not just an opening, but a portal to the Heavens.

What is that?

Group B, be on your guard!

Group A, guard the outside!

Your Majesty, Heavens' gate is open! Heavens' gate is open!

If you go through there, Your Majesty, you will meet the Divine Healer, Hwata.

Your Majesty, please command for him to come.

No matter if it's Hwata or one of his disciples.

You must bring him before the portal closes!

Quickly, Your Majesty!

Since you seem to know so much, you should go.

You bastard.

The one who can save the Queen,

Heaven's Divine Healer is in there, Your Majesty.

Even though I can't believe everything he says...

Please give me your order.

We at least have to give it a try, right?

I will go.

General.

This is a royal order.

General!

Dae Man!

Hey. Did you see? You saw it, right?

What?

Over there, someone came out.

You're seeing things.

Really. Look, look.

What?

-=2012, Seoul =-

=An alert has been issued due to a multilevel sunspot explosion.=

=According to the report this afternoon by the research institute,=

=so far there is no report of any related damage.=

-=However, domestic airline flight paths have been rerouted to avoid damage from the cosmic storm=-

-=and are now using the Arctic route.=-

Master.

Excuse me, Master.

I have come from a different land. My name is Choe Yeong.

A different land?

I know that I do not belong here,

but please help me.

How can I help you?

I'm looking for a Divine Healer.

Divine Healer?

I heard that Hwata came here.

Hwata...

Ah, a doctor, right?

Yes.

Doctors have many different specialties.

Internal medicine, surgeons, OB/GYN, dentists.

Where is the problem?

This part.

That part... Ah, a plastic surgeon!

Do you know where they are?

There are a lot of plastic surgeons here.

This is Gangnam.

Not just any doctor,

It must be a Divine Healer.

You must be looking for a famous one.

Oh, I saw a banner.

There's a plastic surgery convention at the COEX.

There should be a lot of famous ones there.

CO...

COEX.

Which direction?

It's over there.

You see it?

If it's the one over there, I was just there.

But...

how should I go there?

You can just... go.

I... just... go?

As expected.

Thank you for your lesson.

Master Hye Jeong, are they shooting a candid camera bit in our temple?

If they were shooting a drama, I would've known.

You don't know either?

Hello? Hello?

This lousy phone, what's wrong with it?

Just... go.

A technique that has been used since the 70s to remove wrinkles,

the subcutaneous lift,

also called a minimal access cranial suspension lift.

Just like that, an incision from the scalp behind the ear

to the front of the ear.

We then pull the skin after separating it from the subcutaneous layer, (subcutaneous - the lowermost layer of skin)

and trim off the excess skin.

This shows how we separate the skin from the subcutaneous layer.

If you're not very careful,

you might touch one of these blood vessels.

You need be very focused here.

This is how we suture the skin closed.

This photo is 10 days after the surgery.

As you can see, there is a small scar.

Not only does the surgery leave a scar, but it has many other flaws.

The most serious flaw is that its effect doesn't last very long.

The patients who underwent this surgery...

They have had to return to the doctor again in about 2 years.

Because they will have to do it again.

Next, I'll introduce the surgery called the AccuLift.

It's been recognized worldwide as the remedy to the problems with past procedures.

I don't know. I'm so unlucky.

Some idiot barged in and messed up my whole presentation.

It's just not my day.

I woke up this morning with a massive headache.

That petty Dr. O, only cares about the male doctors, never me.

I really can't stand it anymore.

Just wait and see.

In 3 years' time, I will definitely open a clinic in Gangnam.

Speaking of which,

how about investing in my clinic?

Rotten girl. Didn't you marry a rich man?

Spend some of that money!

Look here, ajussi.

Which of these companies hired you for promotion?

Look here, ajussi!

I'm asking which company you're with.

Do you have an entrance pass?

Hey. Are you deaf?

Hey, Ajussi.

How can I go inside there?

I have to get inside.

Please open this for me.

This doctor inside here,

I have to meet her.

A doctor?

Are you playing with me?

We don't have time for fooling around.

These clothes...

What is this?

Is it ketchup?

Wow, look at this.

Wait wait wait wait, let's talk.

Wait, wait. I'm fine.

You... you just assaulted me.

Call the police quick!

Tell them there's a crazy man here

who's assaulting personnel and damaging property.

And... that...

he's carrying an illegal weapon.

You're in so much trouble now.

You jerk!

Run! Run!

Oh Doctor, how are you?

Please come and take a look.

Doctor, these days you must have state of the art equipment.

Please have a look at these.

This has an optical zoom of 2.5x.

It's manufactured using an ultra-light alloy. You have no idea how great it is.

Some doctors have even forgotten to take them off after an operation.

They just end up wearing them home.

And in the middle, there is an LED light that flashes on and off...

Wow. These days some companies are promoting using special methods.

So he's working dressed like that?

I thought he was an extra from a drama.

Look at that makeup.

He's coming over.

There's an urgent patient.

So?

According to our physician,

the vein on her neck was severed.

Can you save that patient?

Why are you asking me?

Can you save that patient?

Doesn't he seem a bit strange?

I think he's trying to flirt with you.

Can you send me the brochure for this?

Of course.

Write down the address of your hospital and I'll send it right over.

Okay.

That's him... him.

The sword on him is real.

Please put down your weapon!

Put down your weapon!

That patient, can you save them?

I'd have to see the patient first before I know.

Where and how much the patient is hurt...

How much they are hurt...

You have to see for yourself?

Put the sword down!

Why did you have to follow me?

Her wound from the sword looks just like this.

The depth is almost the same too.

Can you save him?

Ambulance! Quickly, call 119!

Yes.

If you can't save this person,

then I'll just try again, with him.

Please spare me!

Please spare me! Please spare me!

Please spare me!

You want me to save him?

This person? Right here?

We don't have much time.

Please get started.

I need the proper instruments.

I need surgical clamps and hooks...

Oh God, our Father!

If you will spare me from death, I will...

Please hold this here...

Please forgive my sins and lead me through this...

Yes?

If this person dies, you will be next.

What?

Ah! Yes, yes.

Mask.

Sterilize.

Ah, sterilize, sterilize.

I have stopped the bleeding with a clamp.

I need to suture it closed immediately, so hold this.

=This is the Gangnam Police Force, Officer Pak speaking.=

=What is the situation in there? Is there anyone who can reply?=

=I will call the phone inside. Please answer and talk to us.=

=I'm calling now.=

- Hey. Isn't it done yet? - Not yet.

The hostages are a man and a woman.

According to witnesses, he wounded a security guard with a sword.

We believe he may be mentally ill.

We can't wait much longer because the injured person's condition is not good.

Tie, cut.

You've worked hard.

Excuse me, are we done?

This man... is alive.

We will have to wait and see. He also needs antibiotics.

He's alive! Look. So the surgery was successful, right?

I need you to come with me.

Me? Why?

You need to save a person.

Ajussi, it's been a long time since I stopped being a surgeon. Besides...

It may be difficult for you to enter my world, so please stay behind me.

That, Ajussi, I...

Don't get lost, follow closely.

The suspect is coming out with the hostage. Everyone get in your positions.

Why can't you just do as I say?

Go where? There are police everywhere out there. How are we going to get out?

Frontal assault.

Lock down. Lock down! They are going out!

Ajussi, wait. Ajussi, really...

Ajussi!

Ajussi, why don't you surrender, okay?

Please surrender!

Please forgive this discourtesy.

What do you mean?

Please spare me!

All you have to do is go in there.

Please let me go. Let me go.

I won't kill you.

As long as you save her, I will bring you back.

Lies! I've seen your face already.

In movies, if you see the kidnapper's face, you always get killed. I know that!

I am Choe Yeong, a Goryeo warrior.

I swear on my life and my honor as a warrior, I'll send you back if you save her.

I promise.

-=Seoul. 10 days ago=-

So, what do you want to know?

A man. My man. When and where will I meet him?

May I have your date of birth?

This is my name and birth date.

But not just any man. He must have lots of money.

If I asked you for next week's winning Lotto numbers, would you tell me?

Of course not. I would have already done it if I could.

As I was saying, when and where will I meet a rich man?

Okay... Okay...

-=Incantation=-

If possible, it would be nice if he was warm and kind.

But a rich man doesn't have to be ugly, right?

You were born on May 5th? There will be light shining between Heaven and Earth.

You will only meet that man during that time.

The one who will fulfill your wishes.

What is it? Where will I meet him?

It would be better if it can be as soon as possible. I kind of need money.

But it's not for brand name bags or anything.

I'm in a middle of a research project, regarding stem cell extraction.

And it's at the crucial period now, but all the research funds have been exhausted.

Wow! Hey... This is incredible. Give me your hand.

What is it?

What this divination is saying, it's saying...

I have to look at the book. This type of divination is unique. Let me take a look.

He is the man sent from Heaven.

Omo, omo. A man sent from Heaven? (Omo - Oh my)

But...

But?

He is a man from the past.

From the past?

Think about men you have dated before.

Sorry?

The man that Heaven sent you must be among them.

That is what the divination said.

Do you mean...

During my student and intern period, there was a man I dated

for 3 years and 4 months, my seonbae. (seonbae - senior, mentor)

He had me do his graduate thesis when he was a senior.

Seonbae, you were on night duty, so you haven't had breakfast, right?

I brought you some food. I made it myself.

Wait. Which is the tuna? No, not this. This is radish. This is it.

Eun Su.

You want this?

I'm sorry.

You've eaten already?

I have another woman.

Her family is very rich, and she said she will open a clinic for me.

Exactly how rich?

I heard that they have several buildings in Gangnam.

Oh...

That woman is much uglier than you, and her personality is bad, too.

But what can I do? She's building a clinic for me.

Sorry.

I'm leaving first.

The second man I think really liked me. Whenever he saw me, he would nearly die.

Here and here, we can fill it up a bit more.

We can do a little bone shaving here.

Don't worry, we'll use general anesthesia. Do you want some botox injections?

If you want a V-line in your face, then---

Dr. Yu.

Yes?

Eun Su.

I think we dated for about 3 months?

So then?

I couldn't do it anymore.

Even if he was rich, I just couldn't bear it.

Didn't you say you wanted a rich man?

It wouldn't be him, right?

A man sent from Heaven...

Sent for you by Heaven.

To be honest, I don't want to get married yet.

Just getting engaged will be good enough.

If I get the money, I can finish my research project.

There's a company that will purchase the patent.

If that happens, then I can repay the loan and cancel the engagement.

That would really be awesome!

But, that's not going to happen.

Why not?

Let's try the next divination.

-=The Hexagram Sequence=-

The pronunciation of this sign is really difficult.

It says, you will soon go on a long journey for one year.

Where would I go? I barely got this job at this hospital.

How can I just leave?

In other words, this divination is a travel sign.

This is an auspicious sign.

You will meet him if you go through the doorway. You will only achieve this after you meet him.

So what I want to know is about that man.

That rich man, where and how do I meet him?

It's already been arranged by the Heavens.

There are so many people who never get to meet their Heaven-sent person.

So many... it's uncountable.

Really...

Forget it. I'm going. This person...

Think hard. Try to remember.

Try to remember.

Perhaps a brief encounter among the sea of people from your past.

I heard in this building, there is an amazing tarot master. Do you know where he is?

Oh, that question was a bit rude. I'm sorry, I'll leave.

Man from the past? Does he think I'm an idiot? Such a swindler. Seriously.

-=7 years ago (Goryeo period)=-

-=7 years ago (Goryeo period)=- Have you heard?

-=7 years ago (Goryeo period)=-

The newly appointed leader of the Wudalchi is...

His age...

He is only...

He is only 22 years old.

But he was the leader of the Joekwoldae.

But, there are rumors that our new General has some impressive skills.

Killing 3 enemies with 1 swing of his sword.

Astonishing levitation.

He can jump over a city wall with one leap.

You've all heard that the Joekwoldae people have special powers?

It is said that our new General has a lightning power,

where lightning bolts shoot from his hands.

It is also said that he has a nasty temper.

There was once someone who woke him from his sleep,

and he nearly killed him.

Kid, that's just a tall tale.

To be honest,

people from the Joekwoldae kill their enemies just by sneaking up on them.

You can't say that.

They have killed many many enemy commanders.

And you're really willing

to give that General spot to a kid who's still so green?

He's was personally appointed by the King.

Rumor has it,

that he wasn't appointed because the King favors him,

but because he wanted him to suffer.

Shut up.

None of you know anything about the Joekwoldae.

Because of the Joekwoldae, our Goryeo is still standing.

Aigoo. Seriously.

Deputy General, you just sit and watch.

When he comes, watch how I kick his butt.

Please identify yourself.

Didn't you hear our Deputy General's question?

Who are you?

Are you ignoring me?

Are you the one in charge here?

I am Wudalchi's Deputy General, Bae Chung Seok. You are?

Where do I sleep?

What?

They said I would get it when I came here...

my bed.

He got here the day before yesterday, right?

For 3 days and 2 nights he has done nothing but sleep, not eating.

Right. He hasn't even had to pee.

Do you think he's dead?

I heard that people die in their sleep.

I put my hand under his nose to see if he was still breathing, and he is.

Deol Bae.

Those rumors. Are they true?

What rumors?

That person who only sleeps,

can he really kill 3 people with 1 swing, leap over a high wall with a jump,

and shoot lightning from his hands?

How can such person exist in this world?

He does.

Those are just rumors. Go wake him up.

I don't care if he's the new general or not, I'm going to try fighting him.

Don't! What if you really wake him?

Didn't you hear that he nearly beat a man to death for waking him up?

Deok Man, get out of the way.

-=Next Episode Preview=-

I, as a warrior for this country,

think that you as a King should have some form of self-discipline.

That is what I believe.

Can I believe that,

the Heavens are still protecting this country?

That person is really weird.

Can you speak English?

How do you do? Thank you.

Telephone.

Phone.

How can the village studio be so big?

Catch that woman!

Who dares to ignore me? Come out. Come out now!

After considering over and over again,

I still believe they are insignificant.

Since we have already started, we should walk through the end.
