[Episode 54]

We will begin.

What is your name?

I'm Kim Yong-soo from Yicheon.

Turn around.

Recite the part on the lung meridian from the book "Lingshu Jing."

It begins from the backbone and is connected to the colon.

It goes to the lungs, and it flows from the lungs.

From the tip of the big toe, it passes by the foot and...

And... from the foot...

I will start over.

From the tip of the big toe, it passes by the foot and moves upward.

It meets with another meridian as it moves on upward from the ankle bone.

Until it travels up the thigh and around to the lower stomach.

From there, it reaches the liver and passes through.

Ultimately it passes up the spine and to the roof of the mouth.

Out the forehead and to the top of the head.

That'll be enough.

What is your name?

I am Lim Oh-keun from Saneum.

Turn around.

Describe the large intestine meridians.

Yes, sir.

It begins from the index fingernail and goes on to the wrist...

It passes the wrist and... the wrist...

What's keeping you?

Still passing the wrist...

Continue!

It passes the wrist... So this is the wrist...

That is basic knowledge. How can you have trouble reciting it?

How did you make it past the first round?

Sir, please ask me another question.

Enough!

Next!

Sir, please...

Get out of here.

I just have to pass the wrist. Then I can recite...

Darn wrist...

What is your name?

I am Heo Jun from Saneum.

Turn around.

The cupuncture section of Lingshu Jing describes the periosteal pecking method.

Recite that part.

It is a method used to treat the paralysis of the bone using acupuncture.

Next is "Shi Yi De Xiao Fang."

The book is behind you. You may use it.

I'll do it without the book.

Except the Lingshu Jing, you're free to use other books.

Are you sure you don't need to reference the book?

Yes, sir.

The book explains how fatigue and blood vomiting is treated with moxibustion.

Describe the procedure.

Moxibustion must be performed on the lungs.

If the blood continues to come out through the mouth and nose,

you should perform moxibustion on the three vital points in the chest.

Next is "Yellow Emperor's Book of Internal Medicine."

Are you not looking?

No, sir.

Recite the five stages of exhaustion.

The first stage is contraction. The second is bleeding.

The third is excessive sweating. The fourth is diarrhea.

The fifth is massive bleeding for three days.

All of these symptoms are dangerous and require immediate treatment.

Move aside. Move.

[Heo Jun]

You have passed the exam with the highest honors, Doctor Heo!

He's my friend, my friend.

My close friend. Highest honors!

[Highest honors - Heo Jun]

Highest honors. My close friend.

Congrats, Doctor Heo.

Doctor Yu...

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

I have something to say to you.

Congratulations? Yeah, right.

I can see right through you.

I bet you're anxious about getting beaten again by Doctor Heo.

Congratulations, my butt!

You will receive the certificate tomorrow.

Doctor Yang knows you're from Saneum and might ask about my father.

Never tell him that you learned medicine from my father.

What do you mean?

Don't you know why I failed the exam at first?

It was because of my father's acupuncture contest with Doctor Yang.

I tried so hard to appease Doctor Yang's anger towards my father.

He's finally getting over the bad memory.

If you bring it up again, it won't do you or me any good.

Be sure to bear that in mind.

Congratulations again.

The certificate is proof that you're part of the royal medical bureau.

But never forget the huge responsibility that comes with your new duty.

- Hand them out. - Yes, sir.

Lee Myung-won.

Jang Hak-do.

Kim Jung-gyu.

Choi Chul-hwan.

Heo Jun.

Are you from Saneum?

Yes, sir.

Who did you learn medicine from?

My teacher was Doctor Yu Eui-tae, sir.

Yu Eui-tae.

You were his pupil like Doctor Yu?

Yes, sir.

I see. You may go now.

That Yu Eui-tae incident never stops haunting us.

He produced two royal physicians.

Maybe he'll be able to rest in peace now.

Wait.

I need to talk to you.

I warned you about this. Why did you tell him about Father?

Why? He is the reason why I'm here today.

I have no reason to hide that truth.

You have disadvantaged yourself because of it.

If I'm to suffer disadvantage for being Doctor Yu's pupil,

I will gladly accept it.

Aren't you going to go home?

I'm not going back.

What?

I mean, why should I? All I can do is sell ointment.

I'd rather settle down in Hanyang and start a new life here.

Since I passed the first round, I'm sure I can get hired at a clinic.

Or maybe I can get a lesser job working for the bureau's storage room.

I have something for you.

What is it?

It's an official uniform.

You can't put on a parade like Do-ji did when he had passed his exam,

but you can at least wear a nice uniform.

I bought it with all the money I had. Please accept it.

Thank you.

Your wife and mother will surely be thrilled.

They have been through so much.

Empty-handed again. There goes my greatest hunter title.

Isn't that Jun?

Yes, it's him!

Why does he look so dejected? Maybe he failed again.

- Jun! - Doctor Heo!

Ma'am! Lady Da-hee! Jun has returned!

Here comes Doctor Heo!

Jun!

My husband!

Mother.

How did you do on the exam?

Mother, I passed.

Jun!

My husband!

He passed the exam with the highest honors!

The highest honors!

Oh, I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud!

Double cheers!

Congrats, Jun.

Jun, let me see that certificate.

- Show us. - Let's see it then!

Show it off.

- I want to see it, too. - You can't even read.

Don't underestimate me.

"Heo Jun has passed, thanks to Gu Il-seo!"

"Yang-tae did nothing."

I guess you'll move to Hanyang now, right?

When will I ever get to visit Hanyang?

Let's go.

You can't just move there when you feel like it.

Tastes great.

Are you feeling ill?

No, perhaps indigestion.

Are you with child?

Let's ask Jun to take a look.

Mother, I'll ask him later.

I don't want to disappoint him on this happy day.

Are you sure?

Please don't worry about me.

My bladder sure holds a lot.

Il-seo.

Yeah?

I have something to say to you.

What's on your mind?

I want to go to Hanyang along with Jun and his family.

What?

I like you a lot, but I came all the way from Yongcheon for Jun.

I have to follow him wherever he goes.

I guess.

Darn it.

What? Hanyang?

Shush, before she hears you.

What will you do there?

I can decide when we get there.

Well...

I'll go if you go.

The problem is my wife.

I'll try to convince her. You talk to her, too.

We'll have to keep on trying.

Got it.

What are you doing? Eh?

Honey! Prettiest angel in the world.

What is it?

Should we move to Hanyang?

What did you just say?

Jun, Yang-tae and Oh-keun, too. I'm gonna be so lonely.

Let's go to Hanyang.

Geez, are you crazy?

You expect us to starve there?

- Think I can't support our family? - Shut up!

Stop talking nonsense and go to bed.

You're way too stubborn.

Eon-nyun, when will your father ever grow up?

Please give this to Doctor Yu. It's a fresh change of clothes.

I'll get it to him.

Did something happen to the prince?

What do you mean?

We're asking because he hasn't been home in days.

He's been occupied with organizing the new ingredients in the storage room.

He's in charge of the tonics, see?

What do you mean, he's in charge of the tonics?

What nonsense is this?

Why would new ingredients keep him when he serves Her Ladyship?

I'm afraid it's the truth, Milady.

He served the wrong tonic and was demoted.

He probably couldn't tell me in fear he'd disappoint me.

How upset he must be.

Not a word of this in front of Do-ji and his wife.

- Yes, Milady. - Yes, Milady.

- Finish up here. - Yes, sir.

What has happened to the discipline of the royal medical bureau?

What's the matter?

Doctor Han, who had replaced you as Lady Kong-bin's physician.

He treats me like his servant just because he serves Her Ladyship.

That isn't right.

I have to succeed if I want to resolve a grudge.

Soon the new doctors will arrive. And we're stuck in the tonic room.

How frustrating.

I heard rumors that this year's applicants were better than ever.

I heard he's from Saneum, that Heo Jun who took Doctor Yang by surprise.

I must go to attend to urgent business.

The day Heo Jun enters the palace, people will compare him with me.

But I am still stuck in the Tonic Department.

You're home.

Mother, I'm home.

My dear.

Yes?

Come in for a minute.

I'm happy to see you two together.

So what's the matter?

Mother, I have a favor to ask of you.

What is it?

Please give my wife a few days so that she can visit her father.

Dear.

She's the only daughter, and her father must miss her a lot.

He lives nearby, but I never got to visit him.

I'll go with her and pay my respects to her father.

You're right. I'm sure you miss your father.

I'm all right, Mother.

It's all right. Go visit your father with Do-ji.

Mother.

Go as soon as possible.

Thank you.

It's me.

Come in.

It's very late.

I have more books to read. Go to bed without me.

What is it?

I don't know how to thank you.

I know I've been indifferent.

Dear.

I had so much work, and I didn't have time for you.

I'm sure you've been lonely.

Of course not.

Mother treats me well, and you're so considerate of me.

I harbored a sense of dissatisfaction. My husband, please forgive me.

I won't make you lonely ever again.

My dear.

Milord.

What is it?

Your daughter is here.

Father.

Hello, Father.

What brings you here without notice?

I'm sorry we didn't visit sooner.

Don't say such things. I'm thankful that you came.

She's my only child.

I was worried about her marriage life.

Father.

I feel so relieved to see you both here.

I'll visit you often from now on.

You didn't lose your daughter. Think of it as gaining a son.

Thank you for saying that.

You have a nice mother-in-law and husband.

You're a very fortunate girl.

How is your work at the palace?

I put in a good word for you to Lord Lee Tae-sung.

I have something to discuss with you in that regard.

Will you excuse us?

Yes.

What's the matter?

Sir.

Daucus, lilac, musk.

What were you doing with these?

I was experimenting with ingredients to improve their potency.

Do you know Lord Lee Tae-sung, deputy supervisor of the bureau?

I've seen him in the palace but never privately.

Report to Lady Kong-bin's quarters starting tomorrow.

See? What did I tell you?

You'll be guaranteed success since you married Lord Kwon's daughter.

Promoted back to Lady Kong-bin's services.

That's great.

Mother.

Let's go.
