[Episode 76]

Check out our medicinal ingredients. Don't need money.

I might give it to you for free.

Take a look. If you need...

Come on, take a look. Don't just smile and walk away.

You fool, will you stop drinking? It's still broad daylight.

Give it to me!

Pathetic fool.

So you can't marry Yu-wol right away. It's not the end of the world.

What? What did you just say?

I'm sorry.

But half the population is female. Look over there.

Woman! Woman! Woman!

All women! Half of all people are women.

Pick yourself a Ya-wol, Ye-wol, Yi-wol! Don't be so hung up over Yu-wol.

My low status is upsetting as it is.

And now I can't even get married when I want?

I can't believe this!

Well, what can you do? Gonna go die?

Being a royal physician, Jun could earn a higher status.

But you and I are stuck at the bottom.

The best we can do is earn money and visit courtesan houses.

Wanna go tonight?

Hey Jang-swe, Young-dal.

- Yo, Yang-tae. - Yang-yang.

Shush.

I want a word.

You and Doctor Heo are from Yongcheon?

And?

Then you must know Heo Seok.

Huh?

Your flaring nostrils give away everything.

How do you know that name?

The justice we serve is named Heo Seok.

- Heo Seok! - Heo Seok!

What!

Gotcha. Go on, explain everything.

So Heo Jun went against Doctor Yang?

He's the rudest fellow I have ever seen.

How dare he mention gastric problems when Doctor Yang didn't diagnose it first?

Choosing moxibustion was a design to insult Doctor Yang.

What a fool.

What has he got to gain by challenging Doctor Yang?

How long do we have to do this?

Be patient. Justice Heo promised to help, right?

It's too hard being patient.

What's going on?

Let's go see.

Drs. Yang and Yu got together in front of the king

to present the cured patient with the entire court surrounding them.

Just then, the mouth started to jerk and tremble...

It twisted completely.

Doctor Yang's pride went from being sky high to flat on the ground.

It was then! "I... I..."

"I will cure the patient!"

The king and everyone else turned around. Do you know who it was?

The hero was none other than Doctor Heo Jun!

Heo Jun, Heo Jun.

It's so obvious what will happen. He can't survive after challenging Doctor Yang.

It's like me giving a hard look back at Head Nurse Duk-keum.

Doctor Heo is as good as dead now.

As long as he cures the patient, he'll be alright.

He can't possibly be better than the Chief.

You said your name was Gae-kum?

It's Gae-keum.

Yeah, Gae-kum.

Stop blabbering nonsense and listen to me carefully.

You have no idea how many patients Doctor Heo and I treated and cured,

motivated by compassion for the sick...

What are you doing here?

I have a message from the palace.

Doctor Heo is treating a patient in the palace and needs nurses.

So-hyun and Ye-jin go to the palace and assist him.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

The rest of you, get back to work.

Hong-choon!

Hong-choon!

No words can describe my love, but I wrote a letter for you anyway.

I have no desire to read your letter.

How can she be so cold?

She smiled at me warmly in my dream.

Hong-choon...

What are you doing in the palace?

We're here to look after Lady Kong-bin's brother.

These nurses will be looking after him.

Since when do public hospital nurses look after the royal family?

We have plenty of nurses here already.

It was an order from above.

You're not needed! Leave!

Your nurses are so incompetent that the doctor asked for new nurses.

Follow me.

To soothe the patient's gastric problems, a tonic for the stomach first.

Then move onto a tonic for the paralysis.

Prepare the tonic as written on the prescription.

Yes, sir.

The smell is just awful.

It's the best mugwort picked in March.

Just smelling it can be helpful. So please be patient with the odor.

I can't stand the smell, so take it out.

You'll be treated with moxibustion. Please get used to the mugwort odor.

I told you I can't stand the smell!

You must bear with it.

I don't know how good a doctor you are, but you're one stubborn fool.

You have a visitor, sir.

What took you so long to come?

Sorry, my friend.

How come you aren't getting any better?

The so-called royal physicians are a bunch of quacks.

They are all good-for-nothing fools.

Tell my maid to bring the chess board.

You must rest, sir.

I'll take care of my own business, so tell her to bring the board!

Stupid bastard!

Your Majesty, to what do I owe this honor?

I was curious about your brother's health.

I heard it is stable, thanks to the doctor.

Forgive me for troubling you with my problems.

Don't say that.

Please do not worry. He will be looked after with special care.

You look unwell from worrying about your brother.

Come forward.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Tell the physicians to prepare a special tonic for Kong-bin.

Yes, Sire.

Your grace is immeasurable, Sire.

Your tonic is ready, sir.

Your tonic is ready, sir.

I don't want it now. Come back later.

The tonic is ready. I'm coming in.

What do you think you're doing?

It is time for you to take the tonic.

I said I don't want it.

You must.

I took the tonic just a few hours ago. I barely swallowed that bitter tonic.

That tonic is to soothe your stomach.

It helps the stomach function better. That is why I prepared...

What? You made my tonic bitter on purpose?

That's right, sir.

I won't take the tonic anymore. My problem is with my face.

I am in charge of treating you, sir. And I must treat your stomach first.

And I'm the one who has to drink that filthy tonic, huh?

Isn't it your responsibility to make a tonic to accommodate your patient's taste?

I can't control the taste of the tonic.

Receiving a treatment is like training. Please bear with the bitter taste.

How dare you speak with such impudence!

Don't make me repeat myself. Make a new tonic.

Your tonic is getting cold.

How dare you talk back to me?

If you want to get cured, you must listen to me.

Why, you!

Is anyone there? Drag this fool out!

Please leave the room for now, sir.

You must take it before it gets cold.

I'll bring it to you, sir.

I said get out.

Didn't I tell you to get out?

Fine, come one step closer.

I'm going to smash your head with this!

Doctor Heo...

You arrogant fool!

There you are. Let's go.

Sir, why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?

It's against the law to walk alone in the palace at night.

Since I don't know my way around, I couldn't find Jinsuk Palace on my own.

You want to go to Jinsuk Palace?

I'm dying to know what is happening with Doctor Heo.

Me, too, sir. I couldn't sleep a wink.

Let's go.

You were upset that I woke you.

Good thing you did. Let's go.

Fool. Let's go.

This way.

The patient is staying in Jinsuk Palace.

Since it is Lady Kong-bin's residence, no men are allowed after 6:30 p.m.

But ma'am...

We brought a letter for Doctor Heo. We must deliver it immediately.

What if something happens to the patient because he fails to read it?

Then wait in the guest room. I'll tell Doctor Heo.

That was pretty smart.

What is this letter?

Hong-choon? Isn't she...

Let's go inside.

Where is Doctor Heo?

He went to serve the tonic to the patient.

At this hour?

He went to sleep a long time ago.

I'll wake him up then.

I brought your tonic, sir! I brought your tonic, sir!

I brought your tonic, sir!

Has that fool gone mad?

He is not awake. Please come back later.

I'll go in and wake him.

I'm coming in.

Please turn on the lights.

- The lights... - Why, you!

Are you okay? Are you okay?

I have never seen such an arrogant bastard!

I've never seen anyone more aggravating!

Are you okay?

What is all this commotion?

Turn on the lights.

Yes, Milady.

Are you hurt?

I'm all right, Milady.

I have heard from my maid how rude my brother has been.

Be generous to his youthful indiscretion and forgive him for my sake.

Your kind words overwhelm me.

Leave and tend to your wound.

When it's time for the tonic, let me know beforehand.

I will come with you.

He is not the only doctor in the palace.

I can't stand how the imbecile keeps making a fool out of me!

I want a new doctor.

Enough with your whining!

You are not in your home!

Milady...

If you cause trouble one more time, I'll throw you out for good.

Why can't you grow up?

Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I could get the royal physicians to treat you.

The doctors are for the royal family. They have no obligation to care for you.

I am going out of my way for you. You should think about getting better.

Instead you wound a royal physician whose duty is to serve the royal family.

If you keep behaving like this, you will bring disgrace upon me.

You look very pale, Doctor. Please go and tend to your wound.

I'll bring another tonic for you right away.

You mean right now?

Hold his foot.

Yes, sir.

My goodness. This is going to hurt.

Hang in there. My goodness.

Last time.

Almost done. There.

Bear with me.

I can't overlook this.

I'm going to see Lord Sung and file an official complaint!

- I can take the pain. - Will you cut it out?

That brat is not part of the royal family. He ought to feel grateful.

How dare he injure a royal doctor?

My toes are moving. No bones are broken.

Yes, that's good.

Rekindle the fire.

Why, is the room too cold?

I have to make a new tonic.

Doctor Heo!

Since a few hours have passed, cut down on one spoon of ginseng.

You're more stubborn than Dol-swe. How can you think of that right now?

For all people, their constitution moves from yang to yin after nightfall.

After midnight, it moves back to yang.

The contents of a tonic need to be adjusted accordingly.

And do not use the rough charcoal to make the fire.

Why don't you go back in the morning?

A doctor doesn't need to suit himself to a patient's convenience.

After the patient is cured, he will hold no grudges against me.

Go now.

I have been with the bureau since I was a twelve-year-old trainee.

I have seen plenty of doctors but never anyone like Doctor Heo.

He is humble and gentle to poor patients who come to the public hospital.

Yet he stands so tall and strong to a man like Lord Kim Ye-jik.

You used to work with Doctor Heo before, right?

Yes.

What was he like back then?

Do you know what a true doctor is?

Our teacher taught us that a true doctor has sympathy for the sick.

A true doctor loves and cares for the sick, no matter their status.

Back then and until now...

Doctor Heo has always strived to be a true doctor.

Please announce me.

The tonic is here, sir.

Come in.

Leave it there and get out.

I'll leave after I see you finish it.

Why, you!

Do you want to die? Let go of me!

An illness doesn't recede painlessly!

How dare you! I'll kill you!

Higher titles now? You've grown.

He shows signs of stomach cancer.

Stomach cancer?

You're my future successor.

Rather than failing to treat him, don't mention it at all.

Do you understand?
