Joon...

What did I do wrong?

I didn't try to earn qualification from personal emotions,

but just received the right compensation.

I didn't do anything wrong to get thrown away

and get humiliated like this.

Joon...

If Yoo Weetae abandons me, I will do the same to him.

I'm not...

I'm not begging him for forgiveness anymore.

Joon!

Joon

Please calm down!

I'm going to Changnyung.

The letter Yoo Weetae burned, I can just ask for another one.

Original story by/ Lee, Eun Sung

Written by/ Choi, Wan Gyu

Directed by/ Lee, Byung Hoon Hello!

Hello!

Anyone there?

Hello, aren't you Dr. Hur?

But your clothes... What's the matter early in the morning?

Sir, Dr. Hur, from Sanum, is here.

Oh...

Dr. Hur!

How are you sir?

Very well, my mother is showing great progress.

It's all thanks to you.

- Let's go in. - Yes, sir.

- Prepare breakfast for us. - Yes, sir.

Come in.

Have a sit.

It's very good to see you.

So, what did Dr. Yoo say?

He's lucky to have a such an

outstanding student like you.

Not only our family, but people from

noble families, in this region, will seek you out.

Where is Sir (your father)?

I would like to extend my greetings.

- Did you come especially to see my father? - Yes.

He's not in Changnyung now.

The day after you left here,

he was summoned by the Court and went to Seoul.

Then, will I be able to see him if I go to Seoul?

It's probably of no use.

He's already left for Ming (China), as ordered by the King.

But, what's going on?

Why do you want to meet my father?

If I don't make him a doctor,

he will use his talent to kill people.

A doctor's mistake

can never be forgiven!

Joon will be in charge of the medicine warehouse, beginning tomorrow.

You can trust him.

The relation between you and I is ended.

Leave.

I've done everything that you asked me to do.

Then, go to the kitchen and help with the dishes.

Yes, ma'am.

Feed him, please.

You'd better breast feed him first.

He must be hungry. He won't stop crying even if I comfort him.

OK.

Gyum.

Yes, yes.

Have some, you must be hungry too.

What is it?

I went to help with a party at Sir Kim's place, in Doosi village,

and received 2 bowls of barley and some other food.

Please have it.

Mother...

Is Joon at the taverns today, as well?

Madam! More drinks here!

Give me one more glass of alcohol.

Do you have some grudge against me? Stop doing that!

How many times do I have to tell you. I can't give you any without being paid.

One more... just give me one more glass.

This place can't operate on nothing.

If you want to drink more, pay! Otherwise, leave!

Money? I'll give you money, so give me one more bowl.

Where is he going?

Llsuh, it's Yangtae.

What's up?

Please lend me some money.

Again?

I'm not your bank.

Wait a moment.

Until when are you going to support their family?

We can't continue to give out money like that!

He will hear you.

I don't care!

I will say what I want, I'm not scared!

Why don't you give me 2 dollar?

I don't have it!

You should be ashamed!

You borrowed a lot of barley corn, now you want our money?

Stop saying nonsense, and eat.

I told you.

You have such an ill heart, that's why you can't digest properly.

Oh, my...

What are you doing? You stupid!

- Yangtae, run! Run! - Why?

Damn you! You stop there!

Hey, stop! Damn it!

I can't believe I have to live with such a man as my husband.

Oh my god! What a life!

You bastard!

You trash!

How dare you join us without money?

What an annoying man!

You bastard! Are you crazy?

- You! - Brother!

- I will make it your day! - What the hell are you doing?

What?

Stop it!

You bastard!

Brothers, be understanding of him.

He's out of his mind. What's the use of beating up a crazy man?

- Brother! - Yangtae, you stay out of this!

You know me, right? Me, Koo llsuh.

Please end it here for my sake.

You asshole!

Go in, go in.

What an idiot!

Are you crazy?

If you piss them off, you might die!

God...

Joon...

What's wrong with you?

Let's have a drink.

Aren't you sick of alcohol?

Let's go. Let's go home.

Let go of this.

Joon!

Let go!

Madam! One more glass of drink here, please.

Look!

According to my wife,

your wife is doing all the odd jobs for families in mourning and for parties,

and begging for leftovers.

Please pull yourself together.

Oh my god, you're driving me mad.

Just because you're kicked out from there, your skills didn't disappear!

Are you going to let your skills rot?!

If it was me, I would

open up a hospital in front of theirs!

Why don't you

buy a bowl of barley corn with this or something and go home.

No.

Take it.

I said no!

Even if we starve, that's my business.

Even if we starve to death, they are my family.

Why do you interfere?

I think you're going too far there.

Alright! Alright!

You do whatever you like.

Whether you hurt your mother or your wife ...

and die from the alcohol,

I won't care from now on.

Come on!

- Stay close. - Yes, sir.

You fool!

I thought you would become a doctor, but your true self was just a ruffian.

Looking at you, I can understand why Dr. Yoo kicked you out.

What would an itinerant monk like you know?

You think it was unfair?

I did my best.

For 3 years, I did all the dirty jobs at the hospital non-stop,

while working hard to learn medicine.

With my own skills, I save a patient who was dying.

And I saved a paralytic, who couldn't move.

I...

I deferred credit to my teacher,

but my teacher... abandoned me.

For receiving a recommendation letter,

he kicked me out.

What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong not to deserve to be a doctor?

If a doctor saves a patient, a patient also saves the doctor.

Everytime you save a patient,

you save yourself from useless greed and a cruel mind.

You only know how to save patients,

but, not yourself.

If you understand what I'm saying, you will understand Dr. Yoo's actions.

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Ma'am! Sir Doji is here.

Where? Where is he?

Doji!

So, how did it go?

I finished the treatment without much trouble.

Good, good.

I heard the patient was close to dying from jaundice. So, I was worried.

Take a look ... here.

They are a show of appreciation from them.

Why don't you take them down?

Yes, ma'am.

- Unload the goods. - Yes, sir.

You did a good job.

Since you cured a prominent man with high rank,

people from powerful families will

come to you after hearing of your reputation.

While you were in Guhchang, a royal family sent a person

saying they had heard about you from former deputy prime minister.

Weren't they looking for Hur Joon?

Yes, but since he's kicked out,

that position is for you.

To enter the royal hospital,

building acquaintances with powerful families is also important.

If you receive a recommendation,

even Sir Yang Yesoo won't be able to ignore you.

How have you been?

Hello.

Sit down, sit down.

Everything was OK while I was away?

Yes, sir.

No way.

People from royal families came looking for Hur Joon ...

several times, too.

So?

What do you mean, so?

As Madame Yoo ordered, I told them Joon left Sanum for good.

So, Sir Doji will be going there instead.

How is Hur Joon doing these days?

I saw him at the roadside tavern recently,

and he looked terrible.

He couldn't control himself and is soaked in alcohol. He was a vagabond.

The rumor is that his mother is sick and their family is starving.

Hur Joon must feel the injustice.

Injustice? For what? That's what he deserved.

Did you call for me?

Have a sit, please.

Yes, Miss.

Would there be a way to sell these?

This is...

They are your mum's

and you treasure them the most.

Why suddenly?

Please don't ask and just sell them for me.

Have this.

According to my wife,

your wife is doing all the odd jobs for families in mourning and parties,

And begging for leftovers.

Please pull yourself together.

You must be hungry, have this.

I don't feel like it.

Joon...

I didn't want to say anything.

But, until when are you going to live like this?

I can understand how difficult it must be for you,

but, please think about mother and Gyum.

Go to the teacher and beg for forgiveness, it's not too late now.

Stop it!

Who is my teacher?

I don't have a teacher...

Joon ...

Put the rice bag inside the door.

- Don't make a sound. - Yes, sir.

Is that true?

Yes, ma'am.

She asked me to sell a silver hair pin and her ornaments.

So I followed after her and wondered what was the reason.

She left a bag of rice at Hur Joon's place.

How awful!

What is she, that she does such a thing!

Can I see you?

Is it true you gave rice to Hur Joon's house?

Looking at your face, it must be true.

What is the reason you're being so kind?

Now I can understand why you refused all the wedding opportunities.

Are you falling in love with him or something?

What? Am I wrong?

Then why did you do such a strange thing?

What is going on?

Tell him what is going on yourself.

She did an awful thing.

She gave rice to Hur Joon's family,

Whom you had kicked out.

What is the reason you showed

such interest to a person

who has a wife and child?

Stop it.

This is not a matter to be hidden away.

What would have happened if it was seen by someone

and rumors spread?

I said stop!

Leave.

You did a useless thing.

Please forgive Dr. Hur.

He's skillful doctor.

Teacher...

I can't understand why you're so obsessed with him.

What is it about him that you like so much?

He has been concentrating on medicine with all his effort.

It's just heartbreaking to see him not become a doctor

and become discouraged, nothing else.

Nothing else?

You showed special interest

the first time he came to the hospital.

There is no reason why you helped him until now?

Stop wasting useless emotions.

He's ruined already!

Darling...

What?

Darling...

Why do you speak like a crying horse again?

It's still day time.

What are you thinking about?

Then what's the matter?

You know what?

Just say it!

I think I have a baby.

What?

A baby.

What?

Are you sure?

What a surprise! Is it true?

Let me have a look.

Stop it.

- Darling. - Stop it.

Please hurry.

Oh, man.

You stop, you and I are different. You go to every corner of

Mt. Jiri and eat important parts of animals and bear's galls.

Well, you eat all the good medicine at the hospital.

The age is to blame, what good does medicine do?

Ok, let's just hurry.

Oh man, I can't wait anymore.

What takes so long to examine the pulse?

Do you know how to examine it?

Shut your mouth.

Does she have a baby?

She's pregnant.

- Darling! - Darling!

Is it a son or a daughter?

I'm not the God of Birth, how would I know?

I've been going in and out of this hospital for more than 10 years.

Good doctors can tell whether it's a son or a daughter.

A good doctor?

Which side is the south?

South?

There.

Walk towards there.

Call her.

Darling, face me.

It's a daughter.

A daughter?

When a pregnant woman is walking north and called from behind ...

If she turns to the left, it's a son, if she turns to the right, it's a daughter.

Are there other ways to tell?

What?

There is.

If there is a lump in a pregnant woman's left breast, it's a son and

if it's on the right, then it's a daughter.

What?

Hold on.

Which one?

The right one.

Oh no, it's a daughter. Check it again.

OK.

- If, I mean if... - Yes,

What if there are lumps on both sides?

What?

Are they twins?

This is good.

Knowing our situation, the heavens are helping us.

I'd better make rice cake with these and sell them on the streets.

No, we can't eat this rice without knowing where and who it is from.

It's a pity you're worried about something like that, in our situation.

I will take care of our living necessities, no matter what.

You're not in good health. So, please recover first.

How could I just lie down?

Ouch!

- Let me take a look. Are you OK? - Take it easy.

Who in the world beats up their husband?

I thought it was a thief. Why did you do it?

If you secretly put an axe under a pregnant woman while she's asleep,

a daughter can change into a son.

It's all ruined because you opened your eyes.

We can do it again.

It has to be in secret.

Do you want to have a son so badly?

I don't know how my mind could be so deceitful.

When we didn't have a baby,

I just wanted a child, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl.

But, now that we have a baby, I'm desperate to have a boy.

Uh... my sister-in-law says,

there is a very good doctor in Haman,

who can tell us how to have a boy.

- Really? - Yes.

- Where are you going? - Shut up!

- Is this the place? - Yes.

What kind of a hospital looks like this?

Is this a hospital?

Yes, what are you here for?

I've come to learn how to have a son.

Follow me.

Doctor, a patient is here.

Let them in.

Doctor...

Where are you from?

Oh, who's this? Aren't you Busanpo?

Were you pretending to be a doctor?

Is Chilbok outside?

Yes, Doctor.

I'm not seeing anymore patients. So, lock the door.

Yes, sir.

A doctor?

I was wondering where you went after being kicked out from the hospital.

All this time, you were right in front.

Kicked out? Who was? I walked out myself.

Anyway,

were you pretending to be a doctor? Based on what?

You, I've been learning in the hospital for 7 years!

They say you can learn amazingly a lot in just 3 years.

You look a lot like a doctor.

Joon should open a hospital...

What? Hur Joon is kicked out?

Didn't you know?

Is that so?

Where is he? Why won't he come home?

I'd better go to the street tavern.

Joon.

Go inside.

There is someone from the hospital.

Please go in.

Dr. Yoo must have forgiven you,

since they sent someone here.

Long time no see.

Why are you here?

I've come to talk about something.

Have a sit.

I heard about you from Koo llsuh.

What an arrogant old man.

I knew you would be abandoned after doing all the hard work.

I have nothing to say, please go.

You and I are in the same situation.

Let's forget about the past.

I know how you've been living after being kicked out from the hospital.

For whom do you live in alcohol and torture yourself?

Why don't we work in partnership and earn money.

Here, look.

It's the law of changing the sex of the fetus, as written in the Deukhyobang book.

It explains the way to change a baby girl into a baby boy.

Before 3 months, pregnancy is called, Sitae.

At that time, an embroyo is formed without active blood vessels,

and the sex is not yet determined.

You can create a baby by taking medicine and using other techniques.

And these are the medication prescriptions.

And these are model stories from doctors.

And these are the texts related to pregnant women written in the Book o Pulses.

There's a lot of money in the world,

and there are many families who are anxious about not having a boy.

If we combine your medical skills and my knack,

we can live in abundance.

I can tell your mother is very sick, even at a glance,

and it's a result of hunger.

Are you going to starve your family, living like this?

Do you think he will feel sorry even if you suffer in pain?

You well know how cold he is, don't you?

I'm not interested, please go.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

How did it go?

Did Dr. Yoo forgive you?

He is not from Dr. Yoo's place.

What do you mean?

Isn't he the person who collected medicinal herbs in Dr. Yoo's place?

He was already kicked out.

Don't raise your hopes.

There is no way I'll be going back to the hospital.

Joon...

Where did you get the scar?

I was bitten by a dog.

If you were bitten by a dog,

you need to tie off the bit area and squeeze out the poison.

You should pound Sulphate of Soda and place it on the scar,

or boil the seeds of wild apricot and apply the juice.

I will prescribe as so.

Next.

Come here.

Where are you from?

My name is I Han Chun, from Doosi village.

What is wrong?

I haven't been able to go to the toilet for 10 days.

- Lie down. - Yes, sir.

There is no special disease, just constipation.

For constipation, you should use morning glory seed powder,

or bark of amur cork tree or rhubarb.

Then, it will soften your pack and you will be able to go to the toilet.

Yes, sir.

- Let's go to the hospital. - Yes, sir.

They talk about daily progress.

Doji's medical skills are improving every day, don't you think so?

Yes, sir.

After curing patients in royal families, in place of Hur Joon,

he gained more confidence. It is just a matter of time before entering the royal hospital.

If a doctor saves a patient, a patient also saves the doctor,

Everytime you save a patient,

you save yourself from useless greed and cruel mind,

You only knew how to save patient,

but not yourself,

If you understand what I'm saying, you will understand Dr. Yoo's actions.

Buy some rice cakes.

Give me some rice cake.

- Yes. - How much is it?

Buy arrowroots.

Mother...

Watch where you're going!

Buy arrowroots.

Buy some rice cakes. Buy some rice cakes,

Buy arrowroots.

Buy arrowroots.

- Buy some rice cakes. - Buy arrowroots.

Buy arrowroots.

Buy some rice cakes.

I can tell your mother is very sick, even at one glance,

and it is a result of hunger.

Are you going to starve your family, living like this?

Do you think he will feel sorry even if you suffer in pain?

You well know how cold he is, don't you?

Hello? Anyone there?

It's this place.

Every person,in Haman, steps on their land.

He's the only son for 5 generations,

but the wife of this family couldn't have a baby until over 30,

and I heard she got pregnant recently.

If we do well, we will have enough money to live our whole life.

Let's go in.
