Episode 1

Hwata was a legendary physician in a village.

Internal injuries, external injuries, poisoning,

and even chronic illnesses lasting dozens of years...

There was no affliction he could not heal.

But, Hwata's true genius shone in surgical operation.

After using a general anesthetic on the patient,

he pulled out the internal organs and treated them.

During the same age, lived Jojo, who wanted to take over the world.

He had a chronic ailment, specifically severe headaches.

Hwata treated him simply with a few needles.

Enamored with Hwata, Jojo wanted to make him his personal physician.

But Hwata ran away.

I do not want to serve as a physician for just one man.

Under orders, Jojo's men began to chase Hwata.

Let us return to the Chancellor.

If you return, you will enjoy wealth and prosperity for the rest of your days.

Where is the joy in wealth and prosperity, living as a dog who cannot bark?

If you become one of the Chancellor's people, the world will speak of you like this:

Look! This man, Hwata, is the man that saved the life of Jojo,

who holds the world.

And if I don't want to?

For those who refuse the Chancellor has only death to face.

Then, the world will remember Jojo like this:

"Look at Jojo. He is the knave that killed Hwata, who was to save the world. "

It was at that moment,

the sun in the sky called up the wind from the earth,

and a heavenly portal opened up.

Hwata laughed heartily...

and entered.

[AD 1351, Border of Yuan]

Is that...

Hwata?

We're being followed.

I know.

From their actions, I don't think they're ordinary peasants.

I know.

You thug!

One, two, three!

What happened with the boat?

Captain!

There's no boat.

What are you talking about?

Why wouldn't there be any boats in the village of Pogu?!

They said there aren't any.

They say there are no boats that can depart right now, so what could I do?

They say it will be tomorrow afternoon before a couple of boats arrive.

I think we'll have to stay a night.

What do you mean stay? Why?

If we just cross the river, we'd be on the main road. So, why stay?

All right then.

Then, I will prepare accordingly.

Look here, Wudalchi*. Wudalchi! (*Royal Guard)

Look here, Wudalchi!

Secure an inn.

Ah, the proprietor...

The master was married recently.

He and his wife are acutely sensitive.

So, we'll tend to them.

Oh, and here. Heavy, right?

Think of it as your lucky day and go have a rest.

Yes, sir.

Get them all out, will you?

- Everyone out! - We've closed for the day, so go on out.

Out!

Go on out.

Lousy thug!

Do you think they were also the ones who seized the boats?

I suppose so.

Then, are you thinking they've also anticipated we'd be staying here?

You said this was the only inn around.

You came here knowing that?

Then should we go stake a flag in a wide open field somewhere and wait?

How shall we set up security?

Very...

diligently...

and well.

Right.

Front team. Block off the exterior.

Secure all openings.

They arrived before we did.

Don't let your guard down for a moment.

As soon as we reach Goryeo,

Your Majesty must immediately kill off the Captain of the Wudalchi (Royal Guard).

I knew from the moment...

they sent a party of the Wudalchi from Goryeo to protect you!

This is a trick, I thought!

Ten years...

Your Majesty is returning to your country for the first time in 10 years.

Only in name were you a prince!

Dragged there at a young age, you lived a sorrowful life as a hostage!

Now that you've overcome all that hardship...

and are finally returning home as king,

what sort of outrage is this?!

When an entourage of a thousand troops waving flags wouldn't even be sufficient,

what is this?!

You can't wear your royal garb.

You can't show your face.

No one can call you Your Majesty out loud.

Such insolence and impertinence!

You shameless scoundrel!

I shall escort Her Highness, the Queen here.

How dare you barge into His Majesty's quarters?!

It is difficult to protect you when you are staying on separate sides.

I understand you don't have a good relationship,

but please understand our situation.

You scoundrel!

Do you know how to wield a knife?

Why don't you take charge of that window?

What do you mean take charge?

What do you mean take charge of that window?

You scoundrel!

Where are you going?

We can only protect you if you stay with us.

I should be able to protect at least myself.

There appears to be more of them than we thought.

No matter what happens, stay behind me and don't run.

Can you do that?

I won't run.

Then, I can protect you.

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Catch them! Don't let them get away!

Captain.

I need your inner energy force.

[Blocking the qi (life energy) from the Shaofu acupuncture point in the hand to slow the heart]

[Because the qi leads the blood flow through the veins, when the qi moves, the blood flows. When the qi stops, the blood flow stops.]

Catch them! Don't let anyone get away!

Don't kill them!

I said don't kill them!

What is this? What is this?

I told you not to kill them, you bastard!

Did I or did I not say we need to find out who sent them...

and who was behind all this?

Huh?!

- We didn't. - You expect me to believe that?!

The vicious bastard! He killed himself!

Physician! Physician!

Royal Physician Jang!

Are you in your right mind?! What the hell are you doing here?

As you can see, I'm treating the wounded.

No!

You need to save Her Highness, the Queen!

Do you even know what the situation is?

We're all going to die!

Now, then, let's go.

- Aide. - Yes.

- Finish up here, please. - All right.

Now then...

Our Goryeo will die!

Your Majesty, you know who she is.

She is a Yuan princess.

Can we just let her die like this?

There's already talk floating around about Yuan subjugating Goryeo.

If we were to let that princess die,

there is no better pretext than this.

A pretext to take over Goryeo!

Is there no chance?

A large blood vessel in the neck has been half-severed.

Shaoyin Heart Meridian of Hand. Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian of Hand.

We slowed the qi flowing through them to delay the hemorrhage,

but it's only a temporary measure.

If a blood vessel has been cut, then just put it back together!

I was narrowly able to slow her heartbeat with needles.

If I nudge them wrong and the qi and blood flow are disturbed,

I won't be able to stop the bleeding.

No. That can't happen. We have to save her.

Outside of an almighty divine healer, it's impossible.

What? A divine healer...

He says if she dies, our country dies.

Do you think so too, Wudalchi* Captain? (*Royal Guard)

I am just a warrior.

I know nothing of politics.

It appears that as soon as I've become king, the country is destroyed.

What an impressive king I am.

There is one, Your Majesty.

There is a divine healer! Right near here.

I know where.

Where is he?

I'll have my men go and get him.

Well, he's in the heavens.

I know where the door to the heavens lies.

He's there.

You know who Physician Jang is.

He is the most skilled physician in Goryeo.

But, Physician Jang says he cannot save her.

Thus, what choice do we have but to pray to the heavens?

If we pray to the heavens, will it mean she will live?

The important thing is that you pray.

"His Majesty prayed in earnest with all his heart to the heavens. "

"There was never a more sorrowful sight to see. "

"For 3 days straight, he cut off all food and only prayed. "

These are the words we want to travel to Yuan.

So we try that, at the very least, to mitigate their anger?

It's all for the sake of Goryeo.

Go and prepare.

Your grace is immeasurable.

Is it possible to move Her Highness?

It's impossible.

I'll split my men into 2 groups.

I'll leave more of them here.

Because it appears that the queen was whom they were after.

Wudalchi...

It's a long way from Gaegyeong in Goryeo to Yuan's Yanjing, is it not?

Yes, it is.

What were your thoughts, traveling that long distance to get me?

I don't do a lot of thinking.

I'm asking what you think of me as a king.

I thought it was a blessing for our people...

to have a have a wise and benevolent king.

Must I say more?

You...

don't like me, do you?

Me?

You didn't like me even before you met me, did you?

Your Majesty, if I answered that way, I'd have to die.

Why is it that you didn't like me?

When I'm your king?

Just tell me what is in your heart.

Will you tell me if I say it's an order?

The preceding king, Prince Gyeong Chang, was 14, a very young king.

Because he was too young to act as king, he was dethroned.

- I know. - Your Majesty is 21.

I believe 21 or 14, they are both equally too young of an age for a king.

Moreover, you went to Yuan at 10 and grew up there.

You've probably become one of the Yuan people down to the bone.

To think we will be putting our country in the hands of a person like that...

Our Goryeo people must have some pretty bad luck.

That is what I thought.

That is all.

I suppose everyone else probably thinks that as well.

The people of Goryeo, I mean.

You are the 5th king in just over 10 years.

I doubt the people even care anymore.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Your Majesty.

Therefore, it's not that I dislike you in particular.

[King Gongmin 31st King of Goryeo]

[Choi Young, Current Captain of the Wudalchi]

Your Majesty.

The story of that portal is

that it is the door to the heavens that Hwata went through 1000 years ago.

In the heavens, Hwata taught many apprentices.

It is said that he sends an apprentice through that door every 300 years.

So, you want me to pray to some gap in the rocks, is that what you're saying?

It's not just any gap or opening. It is a door to the heavens.

What is that?

Second team, guard the interior.

First team, block the exterior.

The portal. It's the door to the heavens.

The door to the heavens has opened, Your Majesty.

Through there, we can meet Hwata in the heavens!

Order someone to go and get him.

Either Hwata or one of his apprentices.

Order someone to go and get a divine healer, Your Majesty!

Quickly before the door to the heavens closes up, Your Majesty!

Why don't you go, since you know so much about it?

You miscreant!

We can save the queen.

A divine healer from the heavens is right there, Your Majesty!

I cannot believe all of what he says, but...

Give your order.

But, I should look into it, right?

I'll go.

Captain!

It's an order.

Captain!

Dae Man!

Hey, did you see that? You saw, right?

What?

A man came out of there.

- You're kidding, right? - It's true! Look!

Look at what?

[Seoul, 2012]

Currently, a series of alarms have indicated sunspot explosions.

According to the National Radio Research Agency,

as of the current time of 6PM, no damages or disruptions have been reported.

However a portion of the nation's airplanes...

are detouring away from arctic courses

to avoid areas likely to be affected by radiation storms.

*Seunim (*Korean way of addressing a monk).

Excuse me, Seunim.

I am Choi Young from the earth world.

Earth world?

I know I have come where I have no right to be,

but please help me.

What can I help you with?

I'm looking for a divine healer.

A divine healer?

I have heard that Hwata has come here.

Hwata, divine healer...

Ah, a doctor.

Yes.

There are many types of doctors.

Internal medicine, surgery, ob/gyn, dentists...

What is the problem?

This part.

That part... Ah, a cosmetic surgeon.

Do you know where I can find one?

Oh, well there are many cosmetic surgeons.

We are in Gangnam, after all.

I'm not looking for just any doctor.

I'm looking for a divine healer.

It sounds like you're looking for someone famous.

Ah, I saw a banner.

There's some cosmetic surgery convention over at COEX.

There should be many famous doctors.

- Co... - COEX!

- What direction... - This way.

You can see it, can't you?

If that's the way, I think I just saw it over there.

But, how can I go there?

You can just go.

I can just... go?

Ahh, as expected.

Thank you for your teaching.

Hye Jeong seunim.

I guess they are filming a hidden camera show near here?

I would have known if they were filming a drama.

You didn't know either, did you?

Hello? Hello?

What is wrong with this phone?

Just... go.

The most utilized surgery to remove wrinkles for 70 years,

the original subcutaneous lift.

It is more commonly referred to as a facelift.

In this procedure,

an incision is made from the scalp above the ear to the front;

then, the skin is pulled back from the subcutaneous tissue,

and the excess skin is then removed.

This scene shows the separation of the skin from the subcutaneous tissue.

If you don't perform the procedure carefully,

there is a danger of disturbing this blood vessel here,

so you must pay very careful attention.

Then, you pull and suture the skin like this.

This picture was taken 10 days after surgery.

As you can see, there is some slight scarring.

Outside of the scarring, this procedure has several other shortcomings.

Of those, the biggest problem...

is that the results of the procedure do not last for long.

Patients who undergo this procedure...

These patients return to the doctor in about 2 years

because the skin has to be pulled again.

Next, the surgical procedure I'm going to introduce to you is called Accu-lift.

Assessments show it does not have the shortcomings of the preceding procedure.

Oh, I don't know! Such crappy luck!

Some wackjob charged in during my presentation and caused a commotion!

What is wrong with me today?

I start the morning off with a raging headache,

and that petty old Dr. Oh only pays attention to the male students.

I can't take this crap anymore.

Let them wait and see.

I'll have my own practice in Gangnam within 3 years.

Yeah.

Speaking of which, don't you want to invest in my hospital?

Come on, girl, you married into money!

Spend some money!

Listen, Ahjussi.

What company are you promoting?

Listen, Ahjussi!

What company are you working for?!

Do you have a pass?

Hey. Don't you hear me?

Hey, Ahjussi.

How can I get in there?

I need to get in here.

Open this.

I have to meet the doctor in here.

Doctor.

Are you kidding me?

It's not like we have nothing to do around here.

Look at the way you're dressed.

What is this?

Is it ketchup?

Whoa! Look at this!

Ah! Just a second! Let's talk.

Let go, let go. It's all right.

You! You just assaulted me.

Call the police! Hurry!

Tell them some crazy bastard is trespassing in the conference center,

destroying property, assaulting security,

and th-that, carrying an illegal weapon.

You are in big trouble today, pal.

You punk!

Run, run, run!

Oh, Doctor! Hello!

Please come over here.

These days, you have to use top notch instruments to get by.

Take a look at these products. Now then...

Click click click.

It has a standard 2.5x magnification.

It's made of an ultra-light alloy, so it's incredibly light!

Doctors forget they have it on after surgery.

They just wear them home.

And here in the middle, this LED lamp blinks off and on like this, ah!

Boy, people do business in very special ways these days.

Is he working in that get-up?

I thought he was some filming extra.

Look at that makeup.

Uh, um... he's coming this way.

There is a patient in urgent condition.

And so?

According to our doctor, a blood vessel in the neck has been cut.

Can you save her?

Why are you asking me?

Can you save her?

Don't you think this man is a little off?

I think he's hitting on you.

You can send me a brochure, right?

Of course!

If you give your hospital address, I'll race over with some.

Yes, thank you.

There! That... that's a real sword.

Listen! Put it down.

Put it down!

Can you save that patient?

I'd have to see the patient,

and see how badly she's been hurt...

How badly she's been hurt...

She has to see?

Put down the sword!

See? Why did you have to follow me?

She was slit by a sword just like this.

And it was about this deep, too.

Can you save him?

Call an ambulance, call 911, hurry!

If you can't save him,

I'll try again with him.

Please spare me! Spare me.

Please spare me...

Spare me.

You want me to save him?

This man, right here and now?

We don't have time.

Begin.

I need instruments.

I need a clamp. And a hook.

Oh dear God,

if you save me from death, I'll truly...

Hold this.

If you forgive all my past sins,

I will follow a righteous path...

Yes?

If this man dies, you're next.

Excuse me?

Ah! Ah, yes, yes!

Mask.

Ah, mask.

- Sterilization! - Ah, right, sterilization!

I've clamped the blood vessel.

The pumping has been blocked, but I have to put in the sutures immediately.

Please hold this area open.

This is Lieutenant Park Yong Hoon from the Gangnam Police!

What is the situation inside?

Is there anyone who can answer?

I'm going to call the phone inside.

Please answer and talk to us.

I'm calling now.

Hey, hasn't it come up yet?

It appears the hostages include one man and one woman.

According to witnesses,

one of the security guards was injured by the culprit's sword.

It appears the man is mentally ill.

There's a man injured. We cannot afford to drag this out.

Tie. Cut.

Tie. Cut.

Tie. Cut.

You did a good job.

Then, are we done?

This man is alive.

We still have to see how he progresses.

And, we have to administer antibiotics.

He's alive!

Look.

The surgery was a total success, right?

You'll have to come with me.

Me? Why?

There's someone you need to save.

Ahjussi, it's been a long time since I've been a surgeon, and...

The road may be a little rough.

Please stay behind me.

But, Ahjussi, I...

Stay close so we don't separate.

The culprit is moving towards the east exit.

He has the female hostage.

I repeat...

How much easier this would be if you just followed me as I asked.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm sure we're surrounded by police outside!

Head-on penetration.

Close the doors. Lock them!

Now, immediately!

Ahjussi, wait a minute! Ahjussi!

I'm not going!

Ahjussi!

Ahjussi, just turn yourself in. Huh?

Turn yourself in.

If I may... inconvenience you for a moment...

What do you mean?

Please spare me!

We just need to go in there.

Spare me! Spare me.

I'm not going to kill you.

If you just save her, I'll send you back.

Liar!

I saw your face.

Kidnappers will kill you if you see their face.

I've seen it in movies!

So, I know.

I am Warrior Choi Young of Goryeo.

Upon my word as a warrior,

I shall stake my life to make sure you return.

I promise.

[10 days earlier in Seoul]

So, the thing you want to know...

My man. When and where will I meet him?

Your birth date and hour?

Here's my name and birth date and hour.

But, not just any man, a really wealthy man.

If I ask you for next week's winning lottery numbers, could you tell me?

Of course I can't.

Then, I'd use it.

See? That's why...

I'm asking when and where I can meet a wealthy man.

While you're at it, warm and good-looking would be nice.

Just because he's wealthy doesn't mean he has to be ugly. Oh, I'm sorry.

- Ahh, Yoo Eun Soo, birthday, April 5th. - Yes.

Gods of the heavens and earth, I ask you.

The man whom this woman wants,

where and when can she meet him?

As you wish! Yes.

What do they say? Where can I meet him?

Shh!

If possible, I'd like to meet him sooner than later.

You see, I kind of need money urgently.

It's not like I want to buy a name-brand bag or anything.

I'm researching something right now.

A sort of stem cell extraction.

But, in the middle of creating a prototype, my research money ran out...

Oh my!

Wow.

Cheonpunggu. Ohyeola. (Divinations are all Hanja or Sino-Korean)

What is that?

Pogaye hamjang, yu-eun jacham.

So then...

I'll have to look in the book.

This rarely comes up.

Let's look at the book.

You will meet a man sent for you by the heavens!

Oh my goodness!

Oh my goodness, the heavens!

- However. - However?

It says he is from the past.

Past?

It means...

you should look among the plentiful men from your past.

- Excuse me? - Among them,

there was a man sent by the heavens!

That is how I can interpret the quotation marks.

It couldn't be...

Well, there was a man I dated from school to internship for 3 years and 4 months.

The bastard who...

made me write his reports even though he was my senior.

Sunbae, you were on night duty, weren't you?

You haven't even eaten breakfast, have you?

So, I packed you something. I made it myself.

Just a second.

The one with anchovies is, no no no...

This is dried radish... huh? Here it is!

- Eun Soo. - Yeah, which one?

I'm sorry.

Have you eaten breakfast?

I have a new girlfriend.

She's from a wealthy family.

They're going to set up a hospital for me.

How wealthy are they?

They own a few buildings in Gangnam.

She's much uglier than you.

And she's got a rotten personality.

But, what can I do?

Buildings. A hospital...

Sorry.

I gotta go.

I think the second guy I dated did really love me.

He was crazy about me.

This part and this part,

we'll have to fill.

And take off some here.

You'll be under general anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain.

Would you like Botox in your chin?

- If you want a V-line... - Dr. Yoo.

Yes?

Eun Soo.

I think I dated him for about 3 months.

And?

I just couldn't do it.

No matter how wealthy he was, oh!

You said you needed someone wealthy.

Then, is he the one?

- From the heavens... - From the heavens,

your destiny...

Frankly, I'm not interested in marriage.

Maybe engagement?

If I could just borrow the money and complete the project,

there's a company that would accept it.

Then, even with just the royalties, I can pay him back with interest,

and then break off the engagement.

This is a real jackpot.

A jackpot.

But, I don't think this will work out that way.

- Why not? - Now then, the next divination.

Of course.

Of course.

Teng rue... rues...

This is really hard to pronounce.

Teng rue su cheong.

So, for the next year,

destiny will have you go somewhere far away.

Where would I go?!

I just barely got this job at the hospital.

What would I do with that?

So, this divination...

Gwan yu jung gye.

Chul mun gyo yu gong. Let's see.

Wow.

You must go out the door to meet him.

And you must meet him to make it happen.

So, the man, the wealthy man...

Where and how can I meet him?

The number of people who never...

meet their mate designated by the heavens... abound!

Geez, really.

Never mind. Seriously...

Aigoo, this guy...

Wait. Think about it carefully.

Try to remember.

Among the many men in your past...

I heard there's someone who's really good at reading tarot cards.

Do you know what floor?

It was a rude question, wasn't it? I'm sorry. Goodbye.

What man from the past?

The gay guy? Or the potbelly?

[7 Years before going into the portal] Have you heard?

Our new captain of the Wudalchi, who was appointed today...

He's only...

He's only 22 years old.

Still, he was a commander in the Jeogweoldae*. (*secretive highly skilled assassins)

But, I hear the new captain has some incredible military achievements.

When he wields his sword, taking down 3 or 4 enemies is standard.

And, he's so light on his feet, he can get over walls in a single leap.

And you know the Jeogweoldae use inner energy force, don't you?

The new captain's energy force is like Lei Gong's. (Chinese mythical God of Thunder)

They say lightning shoots from his hands.

On top of that, I hear he's got a rotten temper!

I heard someone woke him up, and he beat the guy to the brink of death.

So what? There's a lot of rumors.

Frankly speaking,

they are guys who sneak up on you in the middle of the night,

stab you in the back and then run away.

You can't say that.

They've taken down several dozens of enemy generals and leaders. And...

Are you just going to handover the Captain title to that greenhorn like this?

He's been appointed as captain by royal order.

The rumor is that he wasn't appointed because he had the king's favor.

Rather, the king wanted to stick him where he'd suffer.

Watch your mouth.

And, you guys don't know about the Jeogweoldae.

Because the Jeogweoldae exists, Goryeo is still standing.

Ay, really!

Commander, you just sit still, then.

Leave it to me. When he comes, I'll give him a little of...

Please identify yourself.

Didn't you hear what our commander said?

Who are you?

Look at you.

Are you ignoring me?

Are you the top dog around here?

I'm the Wudalchi Commander, Bae Choong Seok. And you're...?

Where do I go to sleep?

What?

They said you'd give me one if I came here. A bed...

Hasn't it been since the night before last?

He has slept for 3 days and 2 nights without eating anything.

He hasn't even taken a piss.

Could he be dead?

People can just die in their sleep, you know.

I put my hand under his nose, and he's breathing.

Then, could the rumor be true?

What ru... rumor?

A man who just sleeps and sleeps like that...

Could he really take down 3 men with one swipe of a sword,

leap over walls, and shoot lightning from his hands?

Where does someone like that exist in this world?

Right?

- It's all just false rumors. Go wake him up. - Huh?

Because new Captain or Jeogweoldae or whatever, I'm going to fight him.

Hey! What if you really wake him up?

They say he beat a guy to the brink of death for waking him up.

Deok Man, out of my way.

For the sake of our nation, I, as a warrior, kill people.

As a king, at the very least, should you not be somewhat different from us?

That is what I believe, anyway.

Can I take it to mean that this nation still has the protection of the heavens?

That man is even stranger.

Can you speak English?

Hello. Thank you.

Telephone.

Telephone.

What kind of film set is this big?

Capture that woman!

The man who disregards my name,

who is he?!

Try to stop me.

No matter how I think about it, they are not worth keeping, nor would they be missed.

Shouldn't we finish... what we started?
