[Episode 51]

Let's get going.

I won't forget you.

I'll always remember your kindness for me.

If I ever betray your trust, please punish me.

If I ever regret becoming a doctor...

...or be not diligent enough in my pursuit...

...or if I ever pursue personal fame and wealth on account of my skills,

please punish me most severely.

The winter in Yongcheon was cold and long.

I know, since I spent a winter there with my father.

At night, I would shiver in the dark.

We could hear the ice cracking in the river near our hut.

Yes, it was dreadfully cold. Summer seems to come quicker here.

It's actually getting too hot.

When did Jun say he'd come back?

He said it would take three to four days.

Jun.

Husband.

What's the matter?

I have to get some rest.

Didn't he say he was going to see Doctor Yu?

Yes, he did.

He looks like he has lost his mind. Go inside and make the bed.

Yes, Mother.

I'll make a bed for you, so rest.

It's all right.

Jun...

Don't you want to get married?

It's not up to me. I don't have anyone.

Eon-nyun, poor Uncle Yang-tae.

Don't pity me too much. I have a girl who likes me.

You do? Who?

Yu-wol who used to serve Lady Oh at Doctor Yu's house.

The girl who went to Hanyang?

Yes.

I tell you, she's moved on to another guy.

My Yu-wol would never!

She's not yours.

There are probably guys lined up around the block.

That is so true. There are a ton of decent guys there.

She probably fell for another guy.

She wouldn't! Darn it!

What's with him?

He flips out when we talk about Yu-wol.

Eon-nyun, your mother used to be mad about me.

What lies.

Look, would I fall for THAT face?

Get a good look.

Handsome, right?

The soup is looking really good. How long is he going to sleep?

Do you know what might've went on?

No.

Mother, it's me.

Jun.

My husband.

You haven't eaten in three days. You must be hungry.

- Prepare his meal. - Yes, Mother.

I'm all right.

I have something to say.

What happened in Milyang? Why do you look so tired?

Doctor Yu has passed away.

Oh, my... so he passed away.

I'm going to leave for Hanyang to inform Master Do-ji and Lady Oh.

I see. Although he had been disowned,

Master Do-ji will be devastated for not being there at his father's deathbed.

You slept for three days straight. Are you sure you're alright?

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

Jun! Jun!

Are you going to Hanyang?

Yes. Where are you going?

I want to go to Hanyang with you.

I am not going there for fun, so forget it.

I know that you're going to deliver the news of Doctor Yu's passing.

But I have...

I have something urgent to do there. Please let me go with you.

All right. Let's go.

Sir.

So what happened?

I searched every inn in Hanyang. But I couldn't find the lady.

All right. You may go.

Milady, this is Yu-wol.

Come in.

Did you want to see me, Milady?

I have something to ask you.

Who is Ye-jin?

Who is she?

She used to work at the Saneum clinic with Master Do-ji.

Doctor Yu adopted her when she was little, and they grew up like siblings.

Did he have feelings for her as a woman?

Answer me.

Milady, I don't know.

Yu-wol!

Forgive me. I really don't know.

Is anyone home?

You are...

What are you doing here?

I have to meet Master Do-ji.

What brings you to Hanyang?

Milady.

Is my husband all right these days?

Doctor Yu...

...has passed away.

What are you talking about?

He was in good health. Why so suddenly?

He died from gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer?

What is that?

It's a terminal disease.

I thought he'd live forever after turning his back on Do-ji and me.

How could he pass away so suddenly? He was such a cold-hearted man.

Did you take care of funeral?

I did.

Did you bury him in our family burial ground?

No, on Mt. Chunhwang in Milyang.

Milyang?

We don't have any connection there. Why there?

The doctor wished to be buried there.

Come in.

This is my wife.

Where has Lady Ye-jin gone?

She left for Hanyang while you were gone.

Why Hanyang?

To marry Do-ji.

Bring us some food and wine.

Yes, my dear.

Yu-wol!

You have gotten prettier.

Yu-wol, I missed you so much.

Me, too.

You didn't meet someone else, did you?

What do you take me for?

I'm sorry. Yu-wol...!

What are you doing?

Don't you have any shame?

Is Mr. Lim doing all right in Saneum?

Huh?

He didn't have a message for me?

No.

Keep bothering Yu-wol, and you'll get into trouble!

Geez.

Yu-wol...

Have a drink.

Did you take a look at Father's condition?

Yes.

I have only read about stomach cancer. I never saw a patient with it.

I heard it causes vomiting and pain. Was it like that for him?

Yes.

Why did you bury him in Milyang? Why did he leave such a will?

Sir...

I couldn't bring myself to say this in Lady Oh's presence.

Doctor Yu committed suicide.

What did you say? Suicide?

What's this?

Please take a look.

This is...

Drawings of the internal organs, veins and every bone in the human body.

You would have to cut open a real body to get drawings like these.

They are my drawings.

I drew them using Doctor Yu's body.

You cut open my father's body?

Yes.

How dare you mutilate his body?

You must be mad.

It was his last wish.

He committed suicide just so that I could see his insides.

I beg your forgiveness.

You are crazy!

You and my father are both crazy!

He wanted me to open his body to figure out the cause of all diseases.

He wanted me to see the organs and all the bones and veins inside.

I had no choice but to obey him.

I brought the results to you, sir.

Please learn from the drawings and strive to become a true doctor.

Silence!

Sir...

Take the cursed drawings and get out of my house!

Sir!

Leave at once!

Father, how could you do this to me?

Even when you disowned me, I took it to be another lesson of yours.

I swore to become the best royal physician and make you proud of me.

But what does Heo Jun mean to you?

How could you entrust him with your body and make me feel so unworthy?

You are too cruel.

How could you do this to me?

I won't even visit your tomb in Milyang.

I shall cut my ties to you for good. I'll forget you completely.

And I'll become a better doctor than Heo Jun that you loved dearly.

Just watch me, Father. Wait and see.

Mother, it's me.

Come in.

Don't look at me like that.

I cut ties with my husband when I left Saneum for good.

He only cared for his patients.

He chastised Do-ji for taking the exam instead of treating patients.

He even cut ties with him.

Even in his final moments, he didn't reach out to his son.

I didn't want any regrets, so I was planning to visit Saneum...

Mother.

Heartless man.

How could he leave me with this burden?

Seems he doesn't want to see me in the next life.

How are Do-ji and I supposed to live with this?

Do-ji will be more upset than me.

Comfort him.

Yes, Mother.

Jun.

Didn't you say Lady Ye-jin left to marry Master Do-ji?

But he is already married to someone else.

I hear she's the only daughter of a very important and powerful man.

Then where can Lady Ye-jin be?

It wasn't completely unexpected.

I'm sure Do-ji is very heartbroken.

Now that you are back, I should leave.

Sang-hwa wants to learn from you, so please take good care of him.

But what should I do with the clinic?

Since Doctor Yu passed away, the clinic is in your charge.

How can I?

Do you want the clinic to close? Who else will take charge?

What about the poor patients of Saneum?

He has a point.

The clinic belongs to Doctor Yu's family. How would I dare to inherit it?

Master Do-ji must take over the clinic.

Don't be ridiculous. Do-ji is in Hanyang now.

You think he'll give up his position to live in this little country town?

It'll never happen.

You have me to assist you. I'll do everything to support you.

Yes. I'm sure that's what Doctor Yu would want.

Ma'am!

What brings you here?

Is it true that Doctor Heo is taking over the clinic?

Where did you hear that?

Is it true? Answer me.

Yes, it's true.

Now he's a real doctor!

I guess all that hard work paid off at last.

Yes. As they say, "Pleasure follows pain."

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Should I call you "Milady" now?

Don't be silly.

We are only your neighbors and not your superiors.

Oh, that's nice.

Congratulations!

That's enough.

Milady!

It has been a while.

Doctor Heo! Doctor Heo!

Lady Oh is here!

Lady Oh? Who do you mean?

Doctor Yu's wife, of course!

Hello, Milady.

What brings you here?

What do you mean? I can't come here?

Who gave you permission to take over this clinic?

Doctor Heo only followed Doctor Yu's will...

Shut up!

This clinic belongs to the Yu clan. How dare you try to steal it?

That's a misunderstanding.

We are only taking care of patients as Doctor Yu wanted.

I'll get straight to the point.

I'm going to sell the clinic, so you will have to leave.

Did I make myself clear?

Let's go.

I knew this day would come, but this is too soon.

What will you do, Doctor Heo?

This clinic was open for generations. What will the patients do now?

And what will happen to Mi-geum and me?

You immature brat, you think that's a priority?

Do we have to kick out the patients in the ward?

I wish we could stop her from closing the clinic.

But there's nothing we can do.

I'll ask her to give us time to treat the patients in the ward.

Please take care of them.

Careful, careful.

Hurry along.

How is it going?

We're almost done, Milady.

We have a long way to go so hurry.

Yes, ma'am.

What shall I do with Doctor Yu's medical books?

- His medical books? - Yes, ma'am.

Shall I take them back for Master Do-ji?

There are plenty of important books in the palace library.

Do-ji can borrow those medical books any time he wishes.

They'll only add to the load. Leave them here.

Yes, Milady.
