[Episode 41]

You said that Heo Jun made a scene.

You must have heard what happened.

We never ran into him, so we didn't know anything.

Is this true?

I want the truth!

Yes, it is the truth.

There's no need to make excuses. Leave us.

I know about what happened with Heo Jun.

I know because I saw him go out to help that peasant in Jincheon.

You were there at the inn?

You were one of the doctors who turned a blind eye on a dying man?

You foolish boy!

Yet you have the nerve to celebrate your success?

Heo Jun is the foolish one, not me.

If I had gone with him, I would have failed just like him.

Shut up, you fool!

What's the matter? What's wrong?

Heo Jun stopped his journey and went back to help dying patients.

And yet, my son rushed to Hanyang for his own personal glory.

Is that how I taught you?

Were you that proud of passing the exam?

What's the point if you turned down a dying man's plea?

What's wrong? What did Do-ji do wrong?

Get out of the room.

Do-ji.

Get out!

The path to medicine is not about fame. It's not about money either.

If you wanted recognition, you should've learned Chinese

and become an interpreter.

For money, you should have become a merchant.

A doctor must treat patients.

That is the one and only duty that a doctor should have.

Heo Jun has beaten you.

Even if you become a royal physician,

with that kind of mindset, you'll never reach Heo Jun's depth.

Heo Jun! Heo Jun!

What is that man to you anyway?

I have the acceptance letter from the royal medical bureau.

How can you say that Heo Jun is better than me?

Our son worked so hard for this. How can you say something so hurtful!

The calligrapher Wang Xi-zhi once said, "Fei Ren Bu Chuan" to his pupils.

It means, "Do not teach or train a pupil who is not worthy."

I knew you weren't worthy, but I taught you because you were my son.

I shouldn't have. I have failed to follow the principle.

Do not go to Hanyang.

You are not worthy to become a royal physician.

You should join the bureau when you're more mature.

I'm going, Father.

Do you know what this letter means? Proof that I'm one of the best.

It has my name on it, not yours. People have acknowledged my skill.

I'll go my own way from now on.

No matter what you say, I'm leaving to join the bureau!

Do-ji! Do-ji!

How can you be so cold-hearted?

How can you say things that will hurt our son for the rest of his life?

Do you even think of him as your son?

Why don't you live with your precious Heo Jun then?

I shall leave with Do-ji.

Is that true?

Yes. The reason he hasn't returned is because he is treating patients.

Goodness. I had no idea.

Good. Everything's all right now.

His chance will come again.

He was helping people in need.

Even if he didn't pass the exam, I'm proud of him.

He must have been heartbroken that he couldn't even take the exam.

He must've been so hurt.

Mother.

Did you hear the news?

Heo Jun missed the exam because he got held up treating poor patients.

Is that really true?

Of course. He's practically a saint. He sacrificed himself.

Who would have done what he did?

The Jincheon officials and people call Heo Jun the most righteous man alive.

It seems like yesterday when he was picking herbs.

When did he learn such great medical skills?

Let's drink.

So everybody is talking about my good friend Jun, huh?

Hello, Il-seo. Tell us about Heo Jun.

Stop running away and give me my money, you rat!

What are you talking about?

Who ran away? You're the one who should pay me.

What?

Would Jun have failed if he took the exam?

No way.

He cured a patient who had a stroke with acupunture.

He even saved a dying girl.

While he was treating patients in Jincheon,

Do-ji ignored them and took the exam.

You tell me!

Without a doubt, it's our Jun.

Right. Heo Jun!

So pay up. You lost the bet.

What are you talking about?

Let's just drop this and drink.

You're a winner, you're a winner.

We're all winners here.

Come on, let's drink.

Let's go Dutch on the wine costs.

- Rice cakes for sale! - Rice cakes for sale!

They are all hot and fresh!

- Have you heard from Jun? - Not yet.

Where is he loitering while you two are working so hard?

What a heartless man.

He's treating patients in Jincheon. You don't know anything.

That's what I don't understand.

Why go back there when they made him miss the exam?

I just don't get what he was thinking.

- Rice cakes for sale! - Rice cakes for sale!

By chance, are you Heo Jun's mother?

Yes, I'm his mother. What's the matter?

We found her!

I'd like to buy some rice cakes.

- Me, too. - Me, too.

You have such a wonderful son. Heo Jun is the pride of Saneum.

Listen, everybody! This is Heo Jun's mother and wife!

They're selling rice cakes here! Come buy rice cakes!

See, these people understand what Jun was thinking.

Speed it up, people are waiting.

Heo Jun has beaten you.

Even if you become a royal physician,

with that kind of mindset, you'll never reach Heo Jun's depth.

It's me.

Let's leave for Hanyang at once. I can't believe how shallow people are.

They've all jumped ship from you to Jun.

Let's leave. That's the only way.

Get ready to go to the capital when Do-ji leaves in five days.

Pardon? You're moving to Hanyang as well?

What will happen to Doctor Yu if you leave?

That's none of your concern!

Will we be moving to Hanyang as well?

Wench, isn't that a given?

You must go wherever I go.

Sell the plot of land in Dushigol, even if we suffer a loss.

Yes, ma'am.

Ha-dong!

Is it true that you're leaving for Hanyang?

Yes.

Then what about me? What will I do?

Can't you stay?

How can I stay? I'm tied to the madam.

If you don't want to say good-bye, come to Hanyang.

Me?

How will I make a living?

You can open a pharmacy.

How will I do that with my level of skill?

I can't do it.

What? Then what do you suggest?

Gotta say good-bye when you said I was your everything?

I apologize for my incompetence.

This is unbelievable.

Ha-dong.

If you wait for me in Hanyang, I will go to you.

How is that possible?

Jun will surely pass the state exam next time.

Then I will accompany him to Hanyang.

Don't take up with another woman while I'm gone.

It won't happen even if hell freezes over.

Don't fall for another man, Yu-wol.

Yu-wol.

Gosh, I can't witness this scene without a hankie.

What are you doing in broad daylight?

Yu-wol.

Sorry.

What are you doing in the open? Should've found a cozy spot.

We were about to go when you showed up.

But what's the point? It's good-bye forever.

Why forever? I'm going back to her.

You think she'll wait for you?

There are a ton of good-looking fellas like me in Hanyang.

Why would she wait for you?

Are you naive or just plain stupid?

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

Be careful with those items.

Careful, careful.

Careful. Good.

Be prepared for a long trip.

Yes, Milady.

Come on, be careful.

Father, it's me.

I'm here to say good-bye.

You don't need to come in. There is no need for good-byes.

Just go.

You're leaving against my will. You are my son no longer.

He's not your son? What do you mean?

It's all right, Mother. Let us leave.

Do-ji.

I'll do as you wish, Father.

If I am no longer your son, I will never come back.

And since I am not your son, I will not call you "Father" anymore.

Let's go.

Let's go.

My husband.

Husband.

Jun. Jun.

Mother.

Doctor Heo is back in Saneum?

He went to Jincheon to treat patients, but he could be back by now.

You don't have to worry about him.

Returning to Jincheon shows that he doesn't regret what he did.

The one I'm worried about is Doctor Yu.

When he heard about Do-ji ignoring the sick, I'm sure he was harsh.

I would do the same.

But one cannot live on a single resolve.

He probably doesn't want to see Do-ji now,

but you can never cut the bond between father and son.

Go back to Saneum.

I'm sure your presence will be a great comfort.

Brother Oh-keun, I am done with the sorting.

Why am I your "brother?"

Then what do I call you?

Wouldn't it be nice if you call me "Doctor Oh-keun?"

Call me "doctor" from now on.

Since Do-ji left for Hanyang, I'm the only one who can help Doctor Yu.

I'm more than a prescription writer. I should be called "doctor."

When I inherit this clinic, I'll be sure to treat you boys well.

Do you understand?

Do you?

Yes, yes.

Mr. Lim! Mr. Lim!

There is an urgent patient.

Patient? Where is Doctor Yu?

He's not in right now.

He's out?

Don't just stand there. Go treat the patient, Doctor. Me?

Who else? Go.

- Go on. - Hurry!

Did you see his panicked face?

Like hell he's a doctor.

Don't tease him too much when he screws up.

Young-dal's right. He'll only make our life hard.

"Me? Doctor?"

What are your symptoms?

She spilled boiling water on herself. Please help her.

I understand. One moment.

What...? Oh no...!

What's the matter?

She burned herself with hot water.

Bring some cold water.

Yes, sir!

She needs cold water to cool her burns.

Otherwise you could make the scar worse.

Yes, Doctor.

Crush mulberry leaves with badger oil and apply that on her wound.

Yes, sir.

Hurry, hurry.

Excuse me. Where is Doctor Heo's house?

Doctor Heo? Go straight, then turn left.

Thank you. Let's hurry.

The doctor isn't home right now.

Please go to Doctor Yu's clinic and get treated there.

We'll wait until Doctor Heo returns.

He left on a long trip.

He won't be home any time soon, so please go to Doctor Yu's clinic.

Move aside! Make way!

Is this Doctor Heo's house?

Yes, but he is not home right now.

What do you mean he's not home?

I brought an urgent patient who had a stroke.

Is there any way you can get in touch with him?

This is a matter of life and death.

Jun, it's me.

Good day, Milady.

You have to come home right away.

What's the matter?

An urgent patient is waiting for you.

I tried to tell them to go to Doctor Yu, but they wouldn't budge.

- Come and... - I can't.

If I start with one, more will come.

Jun.

As long as my teacher is here, I won't treat patients in Saneum.

You're refusing to see urgent patients?

I'm only sending them to someone better.

A lot of people in Saneum think that you're better than Doctor Yu.

That if you two competed with needles, it'd be hard to determine the winner.

Be quiet, Yang-tae!

The reason people are coming to me is because of groundless rumors.

I am nowhere near Doctor Yu's level.

I'm doing this for the patients.

People who love to gossip want to pit me against him.

But I don't intend to play along.

I didn't think that far. I will do as you say.

It's me, Ye-jin.

Come in.

Sir.

Samjuk didn't have to send you here.

I'm all right. Don't worry about me.

Anyway, you must be tired. Get some rest.

Are you home, Doctor Yu? Doctor Yu!

We need you, Doctor Yu!

What's wrong?

The Magistrate is ill. Get ready at once!

Tell Mr. Lim to get ready.

Yes, sir.

Doctor Heo! Are you in?

What's the matter?

The Magistrate is very ill. You'll have to come right now.

I cannot treat anyone at the moment. Please go to Doctor Yu.

It's a doctor's duty to treat patients.

I don't have time to argue. Hurry up!

If something happens to the magistrate, you and your family will be punished!

Sir, Doctor Yu is here.

Tell him to come in.

Please go inside.

Sir, Doctor Heo has arrived.

What's going on here?

What are you talking about? Didn't he ask for Doctor Heo?

Will both of you gentlemen go in, please?

This is utter nonsense! This is an insult to Doctor Yu.

I'll leave, sir.

Stop.

You will leave without checking on the patient?

Let us go in together.

What are you waiting for? Go inside.

Ingrate! How dare you bite the hand that fed you?

Never again will I go against your will.

Starting today, you will be trained.

Is Doctor Heo better than Doctor Yu?

Because of Jun's reputation, patients have come from Haman!
