[Episode 57]

Doctor Yu Do-ji, step forward.

You are promoted to the junior 7th rank for your service to Lady Kong-bin

as well as your efforts in training the new doctors.

You will manage the medicine and tonic departments,

but you must still work hard to look after Lady Kong-bin.

Yes, sir.

Congratulations, sir.

Thank you.

Doctor Heo!

Oh-keun!

Is it really you? Doctor Heo!

Hold still, let me take a look!

Is this finely dressed really you?

Whenever I felt lonely or felt down, I thought of you.

What are you doing here? And this attire...?

What about it?

Anyway, I looked for you for ten days.

I thought you got kicked out of the palace or something.

Look at my eyes. Do you see how red they are?

It's because I missed you so much.

I had my reasons for not going home.

But how did you join the medical bureau?

It'll take days for me to explain.

So I'm going to give you the short version.

I went to the head of administration and told the chief about my passion.

He decided to use me as an assistant.

My duty is to manage the storeroom and work at the tonic department.

I got the job because you helped me pass the first round.

That is really great! I'm so happy for you!

Oh, did you get a chance to greet Sir Yu?

Sir...? Yu Do-ji?

Since when is he a lord?

He was just promoted today.

The world is so unfair. Why was a jerk like him promoted?

He ignored me like I was a bug.

I shouldn't be talking to you like this. You are my superior.

Please don't say that.

If I don't show respect to doctors like you, I'll be punished.

Sir Heo. Sir Heo!

What are these?

These are medicines to be sent to the public hospital.

Let me take a look.

Who told you to send these high quality medicines?

But...

These are to be used in the palace, so send the old medicine.

Yes, sir.

You help the assistant and deliver the medicine.

Yes, sir.

Have you ever been to the public hospital?

No.

It's like a living hell there. All the poor people in Hanyang are there.

They yell for acupuncture and medicine. It's so chaotic.

Even a healthy person could get sick there.

No matter what you do, be careful not to get posted there.

Okay, let's go.

What do you think? It's hell, huh?

Whenever I see that doctor, I get the shivers.

Give them here.

Sir, we brought the medicine you asked for.

Put them here.

I'll get going, sir.

All right.

Hey! Stop right there!

You scoundrel!

Sir, what's the matter?

You don't know why I stopped you?

You brought that for my patients when they aren't fit for dogs?

Sir, I only brought the medicine that my superior instructed.

Your superior? What is that rat's name?

Yu Do-ji!

I'll kill him!

Are you alright?

I'm in big trouble. Let's hurry up!

Okay.

What do you think you are doing?

Are you the one who sent this trash?

Yes.

You punk!

Let go!

Doctor Yu has been promoted and is of higher official rank than you.

I don't give a crap!

I cannot make my patients' medicine with this garbage.

Get me something better!

I can't do that.

What?

If you have any complaints, file a proper report.

How dare you barge in like this?

You scum!

Sir.

Fine, then. I shall file an official complaint.

I can't heal patients with this trash you call herbs.

Unless you give me better quality stuff, I'll make sure you're punished

for neglecting your duty to care for the poor!

I sent medicine that was left over.

A royal physician's main duty is the king and the royal family.

You're the one who is neglecting your duty!

What did you say?

What are you doing? Stop!

Why are you making a scene again?

Doctor Yu has a point.

We can't send high quality medicine when we need them here.

You think the poor are dogs and pigs?

Even dogs or pigs wouldn't eat that trash!

Without the people, there can be no king.

How can you say something so blasphemous?

Leave at once!

Send us new medicine.

Or this won't be the last time you see my ugly face.

That little...!

Out of all the people I've seen, he's the only one worse than Dol-swe.

I heard that he is an aristocrat-doctor.

Really?

But he looks like a regular mountain bandit.

He has been a royal physician for ten years.

But he's been stuck at the public hospital.

When he gets mad, he fights anyone, no matter what their rank is.

That is why he's the least favorite of the higher-ups.

But since he volunteers to work at the public hospital, he hasn't been expelled.

All done.

Thank you, sir.

Accept this.

What is it?

Darn you!

If you're going to give me something, bring me a chicken, not eggs.

Let me see.

Tastes great. Thank you.

Get some meat on your way back.

Oh, Doctor...

Just shut up and do as I tell you.

You'll only get better if you eat like a pig.

Thank you so much, Doctor! Thank you!

Who the hell are you?

I'm Heo Jun, a royal physician candidate.

Heo Jun?

I heard you made quite a splash at the bureau.

This is no place for you, so get lost.

I can see you're greedy for success. It's written all over your face.

You're dying to be a royal physician.

Then you should avoid the public hospital.

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor, please help us!

Move him to the sick ward.

Yes, sir.

This way.

Lay him down.

When did he start having a high fever?

Two days ago.

Any other symptoms?

A bad boil on his back.

Fool, did you want your son to die?

What took you so long to bring him?

I've been waiting in line for three days.

Scalpel!

Yes, sir.

Doctor Kim! Doctor!

Doctor Kim, we have an urgent patient!

Can't you see I'm busy?

The patient nearly drowned. His condition is critical.

- I need your help. - Sir?

Now!

Where is the patient?

Are you awake?

Wake up!

Come with me.

Have a seat.

Yes, sir.

Drink up.

No, thank you.

It's a very rare soju.

I don't offer it to just anyone. Drink.

Yes, sir.

Pretty strong, no?

You can't work sober in the hell that is the public hospital.

If you want to make it to the top, you better watch out.

Once you feel the pain of the poor, success will be out of reach.

Are you sleeping?

No. I can't get to sleep because of the birds.

I saw a strange doctor at the clinic today.

A young doctor sucked out bloody pus from a boy.

Even Doctor Kim, who cares deeply about the poor, wouldn't do that.

How is it possible?

I heard that he passed the exam with top honors.

He was very good-looking, too.

I know a doctor like that.

He had no qualms whatsoever about sucking bloody pus out of patients.

He was full of compassion for the sick.

You loved him?

I respected him.

Watching him treat his patient made my heart feel warm.

Not only did he treat patients physically, he tried to heal their broken hearts, too.

He taught me that a doctor's compassion is as important as his medical skill.

Why so lost in thought?

Do I look like I'm dying to succeed?

Do I look that desperate to move up in this world?

That's nonsense!

To be honest, I felt like it for a brief moment.

More so after the miscarriage.

I thought about getting ahead and winning quick promotions.

I wanted to provide you and Mother with a better life.

I wonder what Doctor Yu would say if he knew.

He'll always be in your heart.

You're not a man who would pursue money or fame.

Please don't be so harsh on yourself.

Jun!

Come outside for a moment!

You...!

Jun. It's me.

We have more food, so eat slowly.

Oh, I'm so full now.

Haven't burped like this in a while.

Rice in Hanyang must be special. It just melts in your mouth.

Have some more.

I thought you would live in luxury now that you're with the bureau,

but you're not any better off than in Saneum.

Honey, shush now. Just keep eating.

How have you been?

We've been alright. What are you doing in Hanyang?

Well...

We ran away from Saneum.

Huh?

What do you mean by that?

Well, this husband of mine...

Shush now! Before I sew your lips shut!

We just decided to move to Hanyang.

Do you know anyone here?

Huh? Why, of course not.

It's our first time in Hanyang. You're the only people we know.

We helped you when you moved to Saneum, so you'll have to help us out.

And help the girls find jobs, too.

Stop talking and eat.

Okay.

- Just eat! - Clean your bowl.

Alright! Sorry about this.

Watch it!

You have money! You have enough to buy us a house.

Why do you want to burden them?

Can't you see they're barely making a living?

Hush! We need that money to make a living.

Stop talking nonsense.

We helped them before. Why should we feel bad?

Why are you so shameless?

I was born this way.

Should've left you behind.

We barely make a living. We can't afford to support them.

But they helped us when we were in great need.

Yang-tae, fix up the storage room, so they can stay there.

All right, Jun.

Look who it is! Yu-wol! Ha-dong!

Am I seeing things? What are you doing in Hanyang?

It's so good to see you again, Haman!

I missed you!

Where's the lady?

Well...

Oh, Milady!

How have you been?

What are you doing in Hanyang?

Our family moved here.

Really?

What are you doing in my house?

Huh? I'm here to say hello.

You didn't need to do that.

We don't run a clinic where anybody can come and go,

so don't come here like this again.

Let's go.

My goodness. How can she be so cold?

Master Do-ji has been promoted again. She's not the same person you knew.

What are you waiting for? Get lost!

- What's your problem? - What?

Harsh.

Please drink a little more.

Ye-jin! Ye-jin!

The Royal Nurse is looking for you.

Did you call for me?

Get ready to go out.

Where are we going?

You'll see.

Open the door! Is anyone home?

Go and drag her out.

Let's go.

Search the house.

What do you think you're doing?

Take her away!

Let go! Let go of me!

What are you doing? Where are you taking me?

Let go of me!

Where are you taking me? Wenches, let go!

Do you recognize this man?

How can you have relations with him when he is of lower status?

Why is this part of a nurse's duty?

If you're scared already, you should quit.

I do not think I have neglected my duty.

How dare you!

That woman you saw earlier, Ye-jin, is also a nurse.

She might be executed tomorrow.

Why are you here?

Lady Yun is pregnant.
