[Final Episode]

It feels like I'm dreaming.

Does it still feel like you're dreaming?

Yes. It does.

A dream that I never want to wake up from.

Joon!

Hey, Heo Joon!

What do you want, so early in the morning?

- Um, well, that is... - What is it?

Why did you come back here again?

Seriously, why do you keep coming here?

I told you that this is a sacred place!

What's that?

What?

Oh, um, this?

Um, well, this is...

Oh, does that belong to Sir Monk?

- Oh, is that mine? - No!

No! I'm not crazy, you know!

This is for me to eat.

Why did you bring it if you were going to eat it all by yourself?

Did you come to show this off to us?

Um, yeah! I did! What are you going to do about it?

You sure did wrap it nicely for something that you were going to just show off.

Oh.

These are medicinal herbs that are good for a stab wound.

A stab wound?

Yes.

For example, a stab wound through your stomach.

Oh.

Damn that quack! I'll kill him!

I told him that I needed a hangover cure, not that!

Oh well, there's nothing I can do.

You can have it, or throw it away. Whatever.

I'm busy, so...

I'm not drunk, though.

I just have a stab wound.

Let's go.

What the heck?

These are mine, okay?

Oh, damn it.

Hey.

If you were that worried about him, you could've just asked him if he was okay!

- Why were you being like that? - Worried? Who, me?

About who? That guy?

Nope. Not at all.

Do you have a crush on him?

Hell no! I'm not crazy, you know!

Hey, I like a guy who's pure. In both body and mind.

I don't, all right? I definitely don't!

Who cares? A grown woman and man are free to like each other if they want to.

All I like is money.

I hate being a burden on others.

What are you doing?

There's someone I have to help out.

Who?

Someone who's always grumpy because she's too much of a coward.

Want me to help you?

Geez, I must seriously be out of my mind!

Why am I thinking about that right now?

Sheesh, seriously!

Huh?

What the hell is up with that bastard?

Who the hell are you?

Stay inside and keep quiet.

What the heck? Is he trying to flee the country?

They told me that she's not here yet.

Huh? Why are you two here?

You're here? We came because we have something to give you.

Something to give me? What is it?

What is this?

Elixir of Courage?

Are you trying to sell me your home-brewed drugs, or something?

I don't need it.

Drink this if you want things to go well between you and Sir Monk!

It'll definitely help you.

What the hell are you saying? I told you, it's not like that!

Hey!

Wow.

If you don't want it, never mind.

Do whatever you want with it.

Oh yeah. I just saw that guy, Heo Ok.

He's been a wanted man for a while, and it looked like he's trying to run away.

Shouldn't you catch him?

That has nothing to do with me.

I don't have the luxury to be concerned with that bastard right now.

Elixir of Courage?

Joon.

Heo Joon!

Yeah? Um, what is it? Do you need something?

Go and check it out if he's bothering you this much.

It's fine. It's best that I don't see him anymore.

But, what if you regret it later?

It'll just leave a heavy weight in your heart if you don't resolve this today.

It's time. Come out everyone.

- Okay! - Out!

What are you doing here?

It certainly has been a while.

You weren't thinking of trying to flee to China, were you?

There's no way you'd do that, when you know what happens to runaways

better than anyone else. Isn't that right?

So, what are you going to do? Are you going to turn me in, or something?

Huh?

Did you bring soldiers with you?

Why would I do that?

If you run away now, you'll be on the run

for the rest of your life, and live in fear forever.

You sure are cool up until the very end.

You're laughing at me because I've become so pathetic, aren't you?

And what's so great about you, anyway, huh?

Pathetic?

Do you even know what true patheticness is?

Don't run away like a coward.

If you've committed a crime, deal with the consequences like a real man.

Don't run away, but acknowledge your crime and pay the price for those crimes!

That's your last chance at living a respectable life.

I wanted to live a nice life too, damn it!

What... the hell do you want? Huh?

It's not easy to acknowledge your wrongs...

but don't squander the last chance that Joon has given you.

What the heck?

You've made yourself quite at home here, haven't you?

Does this look like your living room to you?

I came here because I have a bone to pick with you, Mister.

What bone do you have to pick with me, so early in the morning?

You know, about that day... why did you take my hand?

Did you drink before you came here?

What do you mean, take your hand?

You totally did, on the day you got stabbed by that scary Sir Choi guy!

You took this hand! This one, right here!

I did that to save you, in case you got hurt--

So, why did you even help me in the first place? Huh?

Why did you hide me behind you, and why do you tell me about your woes

and argue with me?

I hate that kind of stuff the most, too.

Geez, you even have something to complain about when I save you?

So, what do you want me to do, then?

Do you want an apology, or something?

All right. Oh, I'm so sorry, ma'am. I can't believe I did that. Oh dear.

How could I have done that? I'm so, so, so sorry.

I'm sorry, okay?

- It's because you keep doing that-- - What? What now?

- I... - What?

What?

You doing that all the time made me like you.

I like you.

- Damn it. - What? Wait, why?

Don't worry. I don't like being a burden on others, so I won't bother you.

That's what I came here to tell you.

I don't think I'll have a reason to see you again, so take care.

Ah, what a load off my chest.

Who said that you were a burden?

You're not bothersome at all, and you're not making me feel pressured at all.

So don't say "let's never see each other again" so carelessly.

Do you think that you can just do as you please with people?

Do what you have to do before you go.

Just treat this like your own place.

Why the hell is he acting all cool now?

I'm so scared to go in!

I'm here to turn myself in.

What?

I'm here to turn myself in!

There's only one left now, Yeon Hui.

Yeon Hui.

Come somewhere with me.

Ta-da!

Do you like it?

It's pretty.

But, why did you bring me here all of the sudden?

- Let's stay here tonight. - What?

There's nobody around here.

That's my favorite part about this place, to be honest!

What about the last candle, though?

Don't worry. I've found someone who'll light the last candle for us.

Let's just forget about curses and candles for today

and just think about you and me.

You'll do that for me, right?

Wow, they're so pretty!

Women have it so good, being able to accessorize with things like this!

Yeon Hui.

Yeon Hui?

You're hungry, right? Let's hurry back and make food.

The bride is bowing!

The husband bows as a response to his bride!

Hey, Miss, don't you need water?

It's just the right amount, all right?

I don't think so!

Go ahead.

Yes, ma'am!

- Fan it harder! Harder! - Yes, ma'am!

- No breaks! - Yes, ma'am!

Hey, I said no breaks!

Hey, move over.

- Harder! - I need water!

Your eyes look bigger close-up.

Hey, it looks just like us!

Right?

One, two, three! Let go! Let go!

Three!

All right, let's go!

A house? What's this, all of a sudden?

I want to spend today with just Yeon Hui.

And have a nice, quiet time.

Well, I'll look into it for you, but...

Um... about... um...

about the last candle... that's, um...

Um, about that...

I heard everything from Sir Choi regarding the last candle.

I'll light Yeon Hui's last candle for her.

Slow down a bit! It's not like someone'e after you!

Leave me be, okay?

I really won't be able to get through today if I don't drink.

What's going on, exactly?

I curse the heavens!

What a wretched fate!

I feel bad for Seo Ri, and even worse for Heo Joon!

What the hell is this?

Come on. Your scar hasn't even healed yet.

My scar? What, you mean the several scars I have all over my body?

I came close to death so many times already!

Excuse me! I don't want any more snacks! I want alcohol!

Hey, pipe down! I'll go.

You should treasure your life if you were saved from death.

Are you talking to me?

It's a sad fate in which one of the two must die.

Yeah, sure, everyone's going to die. Yeah.

It's the Elixir of Sacrifice.

Elixir of Sacrifice?

Give this to that man.

He'll be able to die without being in any pain.

This is all I can do for you.

Also, tell him not to despair too much.

His sacrifice will save hundreds -- no, thousands -- of lives.

Um...

Did you come here to try and stop me again?

I've lost everything that I could use against you subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

so how could I possibly sop you?

However, I came here because I wanted to tell you something.

I have nothing I need to hear from you.

Have you heard about the last page of the Grimoire of Curses?

You didn't, huh?

Well, that's only to be expected.

Sir Choi hid it from you on purpose, after all.

Only a true love's sacrifice can light the last candle.

That's what it says on the last page.

That's right. It'll probably be that man, Heo Joon.

He's the one who will be able to light the last candle for you.

I'm sure Heo Joon will sacrifice his life for you without a second thought.

You're lying.

I'm sure you were fantasizing about being with him forever.

What a shame this is, for you.

I don't believe you.

That's right. It'll probably be that man, Heo Joon.

He's the one who will be able to light the last candle for you.

I'm sure Heo Joon will sacrifice his life for you without a second thought.

Don't worry. I've found someone who can light the last candle for us.

Yeon Hui.

Where did you go off to, without even letting me know?

I was so worried because you disappeared all of a sudden!

Why are you--

What... what's the matter? Did something happen?

Are you not feeling well?

Is this because of the candles?

Are you worried about the last candle?

Don't worry. We'll definitely be able to light it.

And how will we be able to do that?

Are you going to do it by dying in my stead?

Yeon Hui.

You should've just run away.

I heard that you must die.

That I may cause you to die.

So you should've run away, no matter what it took!

Yeon Hui.

I...

After I lose you, I...

You said that you would do anything for me, right?

Then please, leave.

That's what I want.

I'm not going anywhere.

After I met you and started traveling with you...

what I was most scared of...

was you dying because of me.

So, please... leave.

Poong Yeon.

Father.

I came because I have a request to make of you.

If Yeon Hui's curse is broken today, use the holy fire to burn Hong Joo.

What'll happen to you if Hong Joo dies, Father?

That's something to think about after she's gone.

Don't worry about me.

Joon.

I have something that I want to do with you.

Bride, Groom, please bow to each other.

All right. From this point forward, you are bride and groom.

All right, next.

Wait, I think we forgot something.

Wait just a moment.

Sir Monk.

I wish I had at least one more day left with Joon.

We're officially married now.

You're stuck with me now, okay?

I really like you a lot, Yeon Hui.

I like you a lot, too.

I wanted to walk alongside you forever.

Let's go outside.

Yeon Hui doesn't have much time left.

I'm sorry, Mr. Heo.

During the time that I spent working hard in order to save your life

I lived my life solely for you

and I wanted to become someone who would save the person I love.

All I have left are my sincere feelings of not wanting to die.

I just hope that my sincerity is not lacking, for your sake.

Heo Joon! Seo Ri!

Mr. Heo!

Seo Ri! Seo Ri!

Mr. Heo!

Mr. Heo! Mr. Heo!

Huh?

Mr. Heo...

Joon.

I hope that you'll only in a little bit of pain, and miss me only a little bit.

Yeon Hui!

I'll savor the days that we spent together...

days that we'll never have again.

Yeon Hui.

Yeon Hui!

I'm sure that if your memories of the time we spent together

translate themselves into an ardent-enough longing

we will meet again.

Thank you for everything.

I love you, Joon.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Does it please you to watch me die? Does it make you happy?

Does it make you feel relieved?

You... have that look in your eyes.

"Poor, pitiful girl."

"You've gone through so much, and yet you still live life so boldly."

"Yes, of course. You must live."

"What else could you do, but live?"

"Everything's over now."

Is that what you want to say?

No... this pain... this curse... will not end just because I die.

Do you think that it's my fault that this country became like this?

As long as the mandate of heaven is what decides the rulers of this land

and as long as there remain people who blindly follow, like sheep

the citizens will continue to suffer until their very last breath

for hundreds and thousands of years

and will continue to live in misery!

Sir Choi... Sir Choi.

It looks like we're all living cursed lives.

Are you in pain?

That's the pain that was inflicted upon me

and the pain that I inflicted back upon them.

Hong Joo. Despite everything, our sins cannot be forgiven.

Take the curse with you, and go.

I'll go with you.

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Next!

Here it is. My name is Heo Joon.

Which test subject will you be taking?

Miscellaneous.

Begin!

- He's coming out! - He's coming out!

- Mr. Heo! - Hey!

Why is he already out?

He doesn't have a good expression on his face.

Yeah.

Did he give up already?

Was it too hard?

Oh, it's all right! Cheer up! These things happen.

Don't be too depressed just because you failed one test, okay?

Your meal is on me today, so eat as much as you want, okay?

Sorry. I have someone I have to meet today.

Let's have a drink together next time.

Yeah. There's always next year, too. And the year after that, too!

Just take it again next year.

Wait a minute. "As much as you want?"

You should think about saving money, instead of being so generous to others!

Is it your tavern? No, it's mine!

- No, it's our tavern! - Sheesh.

- Wait up! - Geez.

Sir.

I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I left.

It's great to see you.

I heard that you took the royal exam to become a doctor.

Yes. I wanted to keep the promise that I made to Yeon Hui.

All right. I believe that you'll be able to do it.

Sir! Let us go!

Must you really go?

I want to go out there and learn many new things, and help many people.

I feel like that's my purpose in life.

May you always be healthy.

Thank you.

All right, let's go!

Your Highness.

Heo Joon. This outfit definitely does not suit you.

Well, at any rate, it's good to see you again.

Yes, Your Highness. It's great to see you, too.

How did someone like you end up becoming a doctor, anyway?

There's a book that I want to write before I die.

A book that can help heal people, and touch their hearts.

A book, eh?

I alone cannot treat everyone in this world

but I believe that a book can help many ill people.

Just like I helped you.

There's no need for that.

Heo Joon, my doctor!

I definitely want to read that book of yours before I die.

He fed those who were hungry...

[40 Years Later]

and released those who were wrongfully imprisoned.

Therefore, many people called Im Kkeok Jung a great man.

- Wow! - Wow!

- Yes? - Grandpa!

I want to become a great person, just like Im Kkeok Jung!

- And do martial arts, and the like? - Yes!

I have to teach bad guys a lesson, after all!

Yes?

I want to become a great doctor like you, Grandpa! How can I do that?

Well, let's see. A good doctor, eh?

A good doctor looks at a person's heart first, instead of their body.

- Their hearts? - Yes.

You have to be good at reading people's hearts to become a good doctor.

Do you understand?

- Yes! - Yes!

Do you understand?

- Yes! - Yes!

- Master. - Yes.

[Dongui Bogam: Exemplar of Korean Medicine]

It's finally finished, Master!

You truly are amazing.

But, Master. I have something I wish to ask you about.

What is it?

It's about something that's written in the Dongui Bogam.

It talks about potions that allow you to see ghosts, or make people fall in love.

Those things aren't a part of medical science.

They're potions that my friend has made, but yes. It isn't medical science.

Are you ready to head over to the city?

Yes, Master.

Let's hurry and go, then.

Let's rest for a bit before continuing.

Yes, Master.

Master, please wait here for a bit. I'll go to a nearby river and get water.
