From Gwachen

I can get to Seoul in an hour,

Take me to Gwachen before it's too late,

I'll realize my dream of entering the royal hospital,

I ran 300 kilometers to take the exam.

- Please, please let me get in. - Hey! I said get away!

- Youngdal! Joon passed? - Failed.

- Mother! Mother! - Ma'am!

What about Joon?

He was late for the exam. He couldn't get in.

Knocking on the door, he cried until he was driven away.

Episode 24

Are you alright?

Where's Joon?

Mother...

Something must've happened to him.

He would not have failed to arrive.

Something must have happened.

He will come. He's sure to come.

How is she?

Did she wake up?

Yes.

I know Joon well.

He's not the kind of person who would disappear because of that.

Don't worry too much.

- Let's go, Yangtae. - Yes.

Farewell, ma'am.

I trusted him, but he betrayed me.

What're you talking about?

As I believed in his medical skill, I betted on him here and there.

But he failed and disappeared.

It's like a stab in the back.

I betted a hundred dollars.

Didn't you bet 61 dollars?

Were there other bets that I don't know about?

When I was out in the street yesterday,

I betted quite a large sum with Bae Sangchun.

Yangtae, what should I do?

I can't ignore it because they'll say I'm shameless.

But, If I don't ignore it, my wife will...

I want to kill myself.

Don't!

- Want to drink? - Drink?

Hostess, set the drinking table.

Get us as much as you can get.

Are you the one who passed the exam? Why are you so happy?

We work in the same hospital.

We have to celebrate this joyful occasion.

Do we?

You became a brand-new man while I was in Seoul.

Do you think so?

Actually, Jangswe's got a money source.

Money source?

After Doji left for Seoul, people started to bet.

Who's gonna pass? Doji or Joon?

So?

I betted with Koo llsuh.

And fortunately, Doji passed the exam.

And I earned 20 dollars.

Finally, you have something to be proud of.

What? I didn't have any?

Llsuh!

Run!

Damn you! Llsuh!

I'll get you, even in hell.

Yangtae, isn't he coming?

No, he isn't

- I'm out of breath. - Jangswe's such a crazy guy.

He could break me in two.

- What is it this time? - Stay calm.

- Stay calm? - Stay calm.

He's Bae Sangchun, the medicinal wares dealer.

I owe him 21 dollars.

You betted with everybody. Until when are you going to hide?

It was you who stirred me up to bet on Joon,

saying, 'Joon's sure to pass.'

It's because of you.

If I have to hide every day,

I'd better hide myself in a hut on Mt. Jiri.

In a hut?

Yangtae, hide me! Hide me! Hide me!

I have nothing to wish for.

Since I married your father, who pays no attention to his family,

my heart has been broken every day.

People call him

a righteous man who's far from greedy.

But he's been bruising us,

burdening us and afflicting us.

Ignoring his hungry family,

he always cared for the patients.

If I hadn't gathered money for my family,

we would've ended up living on the streets.

Nobody knows what my life has been like.

I'll make sure that you lead a comfortable life, from now on.

Yes, you should.

Any news from Yejin while I was in Seoul?

She dropped by.

Didn't she have anything to tell me?

No, she didn't.

Okay.

Yejin,

When I received the appointment letter,

you were the first one that came across my mind,

I wanted to inform you that I passed firstly.

What should I do?

I have to leave you behind, I have to go to Seoul.

Can you imagine how I feel?

I know your heart is looking at somebody else,

not looking at me.

But I can't forget you.

I can't erase you from my mind.

What should I do?

- Just arrived? - Yes.

What's that?

I got it from the charcoal making hut at the entrance of Mt. Anjum.

When you make oak charcoal,

you can get liquid from the smoke.

And charcoal makers live long because they drink the liquid.

I brought it to use on the patients.

- Keep this. - Yes.

Doji passed the exam to enter the royal hospital.

Pardon?

I dropped in on downtown of Haman, on the way from Haein Temple.

They all knew Doji's news.

I thought he had a long way to go.

But like father, like son.

What about Doctor Hur?

It seems he failed. Nobody talks about him.

It's strange. You're not the man you used to be.

You stay in everyday, not going anywhere.

Do you think I want this?

Wherever I go, I meet people who want my money.

Good for you! Becoming rich? Pigs might fly!

Watch over your baby, since you're staying in the room.

Where're you going?

Since you're not working, I have to earn money.

Doctor Yoo will have a party today. If I work there,

I can get some food.

Well, Somebody's having a party.

But nobody knows where Joon is.

My little girl...

You have to choose the right man.

Don't choose a man

who's ruining his family, like Joon.

My little girl...

It's your daddy who's ruining our family.

What?

My little girl.

How's Gyum's grandmother?

Still not good.

While the members of this family are dying,

where's Joon who has to lead this family?

- What brings you here? - What?

Doctor Yoo will have a party today.

I want you to come with me to work there.

But it seems you're not

in the mood for making party food.

If you don't want to, you don't have to.

No, I'll get ready to go.

A woman's life is decided by her husband.

A girl should meet the right man. ...Should meet a right man.

- Skewers are ready? - Yes, ma'am.

- Make enough food. - Yes, ma'am.

- Congratulations, ma'am. - Thank you.

You feel great, don't you?

While young master was in Seoul,

my husband and I prayed for him to pass.

Thank you, why don't you start to work?

Considering today's guests,

we can't serve them unrefine food. Prepare it true heartedly.

Don't worry, ma'am.

How's your husband? Is he back?

We haven't heard from him.

One shouldn't bite off more than you can chew.

He shouldn't have done that.

He must be too embarrassed to see his family.

I'll pay you enough money. You start to work, too.

Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am! Ma'am!

What's the matter?

I just received a message from the government office.

The magistrate will come to the party.

- What? Magistrate? - Right.

How great!

Well, I have to let them know.

Where's Doctor Yoo and Doji?

They are in the ward.

Twisted, painful pit of the stomach, cold sweat,

flatulence, heaviness in the stomach...

Based on all of the symptoms,

it seems like twisting of the intestines.

Twisting of intestines: Can't eat because nutrients are not digested and nutrients are not absorbed and becoming poisonous.

Tell me other symptoms of twisted intestines.

When you have this disease, you'll have headache,

retching, nausea, systemic fever,

cold fingertips and toe tips, and stomachache.

Prescription?

Ingest the ashes of paper, which a silkworm moth has laid eggs on.

Or, drink boiled saltwater and vomit.

And lacerate the dark veins of both arms to release black(poisonous) blood.

- Prescribe as he said. - Yes.

- Darling, Doji. - What's the matter?

The magistrate is coming to our party with the

official clerks and Jinsa Woo, from Dooshi valley.

- Really? - Yes.

The magistrate and Jinsa would attend only a noble's party.

But they are coming to the doctor's.

I feel so honored.

Since he will become a royal doctor of the royal hospital,

they can't look down on us.

I think you'd better stop examining the patients

and get ready to welcome the magistrate.

Father, you'd better do as she said.

We have a patient here. Leave us.

Examine other patients.

Yes.

Oh my... He cares nothing about his family.

If I were her, I'd never come to work here.

- She's gotta feed her family. - Right.

Her husband was expelled from the hospital permanently.

She's come to a dead end.

Her mother-in-law sells rice cakes

in the street.

They're really in trouble.

He's coming.

Congratulations, Doctor Yoo.

It's my pleasure to welcome a noble one like you.

Thank you for coming.

Everyone deserves congratulation. It's not about social class.

It's my pleasure.

- Congratulations, Let's go in. - Yes, come on in.

You're the first one to enter the royal hospital,

from Sanum, right?

I think so.

You passed a less strigent hurdle, but

you have become a royal doctor,

who looks after the king. We have to celebrate this.

- Don't you agree, Jinsa Woo? - I agree, magistrate.

Even the No. 1 doctor in Korea, Yoo Weetae

couldn't enter the royal hospital.

It deserves celebration.

You achieved what your father couldn't achieve. How do you feel?

I feel sorry.

I still have a long way to become like my father.

What're you talking about?

Someday, you will surpass your father.

You don't know how parents feel because you're not married yet.

Seeing a grown-up child who surpasses his father

is every father's pleasure. Don't you agree, Doctor Yoo?

What're you doing? Gather them little by little.

Hadong, in this hospital, that woman

has greediness in her cheeks.

That greedy woman wouldn't give us food after the party's over.

Get it in advance.

Delicious!

Haman!

What are you doing?

It's for my husband.

We're not having a party to feed everybody.

If you keep doing that, you won't get paid today.

You, bring more food to the guest greeting room.

I hate that woman.

I'm controlling myself.

Huh?

Have a break and have this.

There are a lot of woman in the world.

But you're my only one.

Give me a slice of boiled meat.

Hello, there.

- Where's the magistrate? - What's the matter?

I received a message from a messenger. And, I have to inform him.

This way.

Hadong?

Let's drink.

Magistrate! Magistrate!

I receive this message from the magistrate in Jinchen.

Dr, yoo, do you happen to know Hur Joon?

I guess it's another matter for congratulation.

What's the matter?

Doctor Hur from Sanum,

on his way to Seoul to take the exam,

stopped in a town, in Jinchen, called Budne

and took care of the diseases of the poor people.

And the people held him back and he couldn't ignore them.

So, eventually, he missed taking the exam.

Every doctor, in the tavern, ignored these people.

But, he was the only one who voluntarily

took care of the patients.

The Magistrate praised him as the only righteous doctor in the world.

Well, Hur Joon?

Didn't he heal the paralysis of the wife

of the former deputy prime minister?

One of your pupils, right?

He was.

You're really a superb man.

Your son and your pupil,

you've made both of them creditable.

Every doctor, in the tavern, ignored them.

But, he was the only one who voluntarily

took care of the patients,

He praised him as the only righteous doctor in the world,

What's the matter? Why are you crying?

Hadong said something to you?

No, I'd better go.

Hey! Aren't you going to get your pay?

Joon ...

Forgive me, I was disappointed at you for awhile.

You did such a righteous thing,

but I was a narrow-minded girl who thought ill of her husband.

Forgive me.

You said he couldn't get into

the examination and created a disturbance.

Then you must have heard of him, right?

We never came across Hur Joon.

So, Young Master and I didn't know about it.

Is that true?

Answer me. Is that true?

- It's true. - You don't have to shuffle.

- Leave us, please. - Yes.

I knew about Joon.

When he followed the patients,

I was there, too.

If you were there,

were you one of the doctors who ignored the patients

that needed a doctor's care?

You're mean. How mean you are!

You have no shame? You passed just like that

and still can celebrate?

I'm not mean and he's stupid.

If I'd stayed there, I would've failed.

You wanted me to fail, didn't you?

Watch your mouth!

What...

What's going on?

What're you doing this for?

Someone turned and went back

to take care of the patients.

While my son ignored the patients

and minded his own business.

Is that your answer to how and what your father has taught you?

Appointment letter ...

Are you proud of that kind of appointment letter?

You ignored crying patients who needed your help!

You don't deserve the appointment letter!

What's wrong with you? He didn't do anything wrong.

Leave us.

- Doji... - I said, 'Leave us.'

Doctors must not want to be successful.

Doctors must not want to be rich!

If you want to be successful,

you can learn Chinese and be an interpreter.

If you want to be rich, you can be a merchant.

A doctor's duty lies in taking care of the patients.

First, take care of the patients.

Second, take care of the patients. Third, take care of the patients!

You've lost to Joon.

Even if you can be a royal doctor,

your nature's so different,

that you can never be like him.

Joon! Joon! Joon!

Who is he to you?!

This is the appointment letter to enter the royal hospital.

Joon's better than me? Why do you think so?

He's had a hard time to succeed this far.

How can you speak ill of him?

A long time ago, Wang Heejee, the Chinese sage, said,

"Not a man, not a lesson."

It means if he is not a righteous man,

do not bother with teaching him about courtesy or morality.

I knew you were not a righteous man,

but I taught you the medical arts cause you're of my blood.

It's my fault.

I should've obeyed what the sage said.

Don't go to Seoul.

You are not a righteous man to enter the royal hospital.

If you have a dream, dream to become a righteous man, first.

I am going.

This appointment letter

symbolizes I'm one of the best doctors in Korea.

What is written in this letter

is my name, not yours.

This means I'm a great doctor, too.

My opinion is different from yours.

I'll follow my own path.

No matter what you say, I'll go.

Doji! Doji!

You're so cruel.

You're his father. How could you

say those cruel words to your son?

It seems like he's not your son.

Live with Joon that you love so much.

I'll leave with Doji.

Doji!

Is that true?

It's true.

He's not coming back to Sanum because he's taking care

of the patients in the town called Budne.

That's great. I don't have to worry.

Finally, I'm relieved.

Time will come again, if I wait for it.

For helping the poor people,

he ended up not taking the exam. But he did the right thing.

But I can imagine how he felt.

I ran a long way to take the exam, but he couldn't.

He must've been disappointed, sad and lonely.

Mother...

Have you heard

Joon couldn't take the exam because he was taking care

of the patients in the town called Budne.

Is that true?

It's true.

'Sacrificed himself to achieve humanity.'

Those are the right words to describe him.

Easy to say, but who can actually be like him?

The magistrate and eople in Jinchen calls him the 'righteous man'.

Joon was just someone who used to grub herbs

with a net bag on his back, in the valley of Mt. Jiri.

How did he become such a magnanimous person like that?

There... That's, that's...

How dare they...

Don't be so scared.

- People are talking - Glad to meet you.

About Joon everywhere.

Hi, llsuh.

Tell us more about Joon.

Stop hiding yourself. Give me the money.

Give me the money.

What the hell are you talking about?

You guys have to give me the money.

What?

He's such a good doctor. He's too good to fail.

- Of course. - Healed paralysis with a needle

and saved an almost dead man.

While Joon was taking care

of the patients in Budne,

Doji left for Seoul to take the exam.

How mean he is!

If we consider 'morality', who's the real winner?

Who? Who? Who?

- Definitely Joon! - Right! Joon!

Right!

Give me the money! Give me the money!

What is he talking about?

Let's stop with the useless words.

Let's drink, ok?

- What... - Drink this.

What are you talking about?

You drink, too.

I don't know what to...

- Yangtae, let's drink. - Yeah, you drink first.

Money comes and goes, and goes and comes.

- Rice cakes to sell. - Rice cakes to sell.

- Rice cakes. - Rice cakes to sell.

- Just made rice cakes. - How much is it?

- 10 cents apiece. - How about this?

- 2 cents apiece. - Expensive.

Just made and warm.

- Rice cakes to sell. - Rice cakes.

Rice cakes to sell.

- Rice cakes. - Rice cakes.

Excuse me, are you Hur Joon's mother?

Yes, I am. What's the matter?

Great. We found them.

Give me some rice cakes.

You have such a great son.

He's the pride of Sanum.

People! Listen to me, people!

These are Hur Joon's mother and his wife!

They are selling rice cakes!

Come here!

These are Hur Joon's mother and his wife!

Everybody in this town knows about Joon.

They speak ill of Doji

- who left the patients behind. - Shut up!

You've lost to Joon.

Even if you can be a royal doctor,

your nature's so different,

you can never be like him,

A long time ago, Wang Heejee, the Chinese sage said,

"Not a man, not a lesson."

It means that if he's not a righteous man,

don't bother to teach him about courtesy or morality.'

I knew you were not a righteous man.

But I taught you the medical arts cause you're of my blood.

It's my fault.

I should've obeyed what the sage said.

It's I.

We have to go to Seoul, as soon as possible.

People are so childish.

They used to speak well of you.

How could they change their words so quickly?

Let's go.

That's the only way we can avoid harshness.

This way, this way.

Bring it out quickly.

This way, Hadong.

- Yes, ma'am. - Load them quickly.

- Yuwol! - Yes?

Are you finished?

Doji.

Father, it's Doji.

I want to bid farewell to you.

Don't come in.

You don't have to bid farewell. Just go.

Since you've decided to leave,

you're no longer my son.

Not your son? Not your son?

What are you saying?

Stop, Mother! Let's just leave.

Doji.

I'll do as you want.

Since you wouldn't see me, I wouldn't see you, too.

Since I'm not your son,

I will no longer address you as 'father'.

Doji.

Doji...

Let's go.

Joon...

Joon...

Joon... Joon!

Joon! Joon!

- Joon! - Mother...

Do they say Doctor Hur's back to Sanum?

They say he went back to the town in Jinchen.

He might be back to Sanum by this time.

We don't have to worry about him.

He went back to Jinchen,

which means he doesn't regret what he has done.

I'm worried about Yoo Weetae.

He doesn't want to see his son, who made mistake.

But, he can't easily erase the image of his son.

He must be thinking about Doji.

Go back to Sanum.

If you're with him, he'll be consoled.

Ohgun!

The medicinal warehouse has been arranged.

Ohgun? Don't call me Ohgun.

What should I call you?

You can call me, Doctor.

From now on, call me doctor.

Since Doji left for Seoul,

I'm the only one who serves master

and takes charge of this hospital.

I'm not a document manager anymore.

So it�ll be reasonable to call me doctor.

When I inherit this hospital, instead of Doji,

I won't forget you guys.

Am I understood?

Am I understood?

- Yes, you are... Doctor. - Doctor.

- Is the doctor in there? - How can I help you?

Where's the doctor?

I'm a doctor. How can I help you?

Examine my sister.

- Take her to the wooden floor. - Yes.

You can tell me the symptoms.

Yes, she spilt hot water.

Do something quickly!

If she spilt hot water, she must be scalded.

You're right.

What's going on?

She's a patient scalded by hot water.

I was giving her first aid.

- Get me cold water. - Pardon?

Clean it with cold water until the heat is cooled down.

If you do something before that, the suppuration could get larger.

I'll keep that in mind.

Mix badger oil and crushed mulberry leaf and apply it on the scald.

Yes.

Excuse me, where's Doctor Hur?

- Doctor Hur? - Hur Joon.

This way.

Doctor Hur's not here. So, go to Doctor Yoo's

and get examined.

We said we'd wait for Doctor Hur.

He's on a journey. It'll be a long wait.

He's not coming back for the time being. Go to Doctor Yoo's.

- This patient's illness is very serious. - We've come a long way.

We came a long way.

Make way! Make way! Is this Doctor Hur's?

Yes, but he's not here.

He's not here? What do you mean?

Our patient fainted with paralysis.

How can we make contact with him?

We have no time to waste.

Joon, it's me.

What brings you here?

You need to come home, right now.

What's going on?

Serious patients have come to our home.

We tried to convince them to go to Doctor Yoo's,

but they want you.

They're being so stubborn. You'd better come...

That's not possible.

If I start to examine them,

more patients will come.

Darling...

As long as my master's there in Sanum,

I won't examine any patient.

They are desperate.

How can you ignore them?

I'm not ignoring them.

I'm letting them see a better doctor.

Quit a lot of people in Sanum think

you're better than Doctor Yoo.

They say if you have a needle game with him,

it would be hard to know who would win.

Be quiet!

The reason why people are looking for me instead of Doctor Yoo

is that they heard the transient rumor.

My master has medical skills

that I can never have.

For their sakes,

they should see Doctor Yoo.

Master, it's Yejin.

Come in.

Master.

Samjuk must've said something stupid to you.

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

You must be tired from a long journey. Take a rest.

Doctor Yoo? Doctor Yoo's in there?

You must come to the government office.

What's the matter?

The magistrate is very sick. Hurry and come.

- Get ready to go. - Yes.

Doctor Hur! Doctor Hur's in there?

What's the matter?

The magistrate is very sick.

Prepare for the examination and come with me.

I can't examine the patient.

Go to Doctor Yoo's.

What kind of doctor

can't examine a patient?

We have no time to waste. Hurry!

If something happens to him by you doing this ...

You and your family won't be safe.

Magistrate, Doctor Yoo's here.

- Let him in. - Get in.

Magistrate, Doctor Hur's here.
