All language subtitles for Huh.Joon.E55.1999

I've finally brought the herbs
to cure your sickness.

Please open your eyes.

Your Majesty...

Please open your eyes.

The pain starts when we have
the desire to cling to something.

When I release my greed,
I feel much better.

I finally realize that, as I
face death that is very near.

March 1591
(Sun Jo Dynasty year 24)

Dr Hur, Dr Hur!

Where is Dr Hur?

I don't know.

Dr Hur, where are you?

Dr Hur, Dr Hur!

Sir, sir!

What's going on?

Prince Kwang Hae is
suddenly sick.

Let's go.

Sir.

Dr. Hur

Sir.

Did I surprise you?

What is going on?

He is fine, so don't worry.

It's hard to see you these days,
so I made an excuse.

Sorry.

You're the only one who comes,
at once, when we say

the Prince is ill.

So, how have you been?

Are you still wrestling with
medical books in the library?

I'm studying about the
effect of herbs.

Are you compiling books on the
plague, as you were going to do?

Yes, sir.

I was upset that you were stuck in
the library and decoction room.

But it's good to see that you
do your share wherever you go.

Thank you, sir.

I'm the only one who is useless.

Please don't say that.

Father forgot about me ...

Just like he forgot about my mother.

The Court ministers
are the same, too.

Although I am alive, I'm no
better than a dead person.

That's not right, sir.

I am sure the King cares about
your well-being.

Today is the anniversary day
that mother passed away.

Gong Bin Kim: First royal concubine
of Sun Jo; died in the 10th year

but I heard father is at In Bin's
residence today, as well.

In Bin Kim: Second royal concubine

I heard he is very worried that

Shin Sung is not getting better.

Dr Hur, I don't like the Palace.

I don't like the 'me', who is
jealous of my younger brother.

And I don't like father who has
forgotten about my mother and me.

When mother was alive,

she used to say you can cure even
the sickness in one's inner mind.

Dr Hur,
please cure my inner mind.

Sir.

When mother was alive,

she used to say you can cure even
the sickness in one's inner mind.

Dr Hur,
please cure my inner mind.

Dr Hur,

Please look after the Princes.

Not only take care of their health,

but take care of their well-being
with your sincere nature.

Sir.

Come in.

I will have it after finishing it.

Sir...

I'd like to tell you something.

It seems that Gyum is more
focused on literature than medicine.

Although he knows he can't
apply for it with his social status,

I think it's hard for him
to give it up.

I'm worried the more he studies,

the more disappointed he will be.

Gyum, may I come in?

Yes, Father.

It's the book about 'The Great Learning'.

Yes.

I heard there will be examination
for medicine soon.

Since you've studied
medicine until now,

how about preparing for it?

It doesn't matter if it is not medicine.

If you're interested in administration,
then, you should prepare for that.

I would like to sit for the
literature exam.

I know it's impossible with
my social status.

But I've decided to stay
with literature.

The more you study literature,
the more disappointment you will have.

I know it's hard, but give it up.

Father ...

I know what you're worried about.

But I will not regret it even if
I won't have a chance to

sit for the literature examination.

Please understand me.

I was like that, too.

I thought I would be satisfied
with just reading books.

But a person changes over time.

I was filled with desire wanting
to sit for the literature exam.

And every time I realized that
I couldn't achieve it, I was discouraged.

As I saw the students from noble
families, with whom I studied,

go to Seoul to sit for the exam,

I had to shed bitter tears.

Finally, I hated my parents

and lived a shameful life,
cursing my lowly status.

Don't place your will
on things that are not possible.

You should change your will while
it is still early and you can.

I can't do that.

Gyum ...

If I have to decide and
make a choice,

I won't give up on this route.

Instead, I will try to persevere
through any pain my choice will bring me.

- Give me the herbs.
- Yes.

His symptoms are not as serious
as it seems.

So you'd better watch what you say.

Yes, sir.

Chief Nurse.

The Prince's tumor is getting
worse every day, isn't it?

But not serious?

Didn't you hear his words
to watch out what we say?

If you want to be a nurse
in the Palace, there are many

things which you must pretend
not to see or hear.

Don't forget.

Yes.

How is he? Is there progress?

I think he is much better
with medication.

But when I looked at him today, the
tumor had spread as far as his neck.

It's been 1 month already.

You keep saying he is getting better,
but how much longer do I have to wait?

It's true the tumor is spreading, but

the puss has stopped and
the wound is healing,

so you shouldn't worry.

Dr. Yoo's contribution for Shin
Sung to grow healthy was major.

I will trust you.

Do your best to cure his illness.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Dried dandelion and Portulaca
oleracea should be boiled, but

Pinellia ternata, Aconiti Tuber, foxgloves
should be pounded. Prepare them.

Yes, Doctor.

They are herbs to cure
suppuration, aren't they?

Then, did the suppration on
Prince Shin Sung's tumor worsened?

If the tumor didn't get better

and the suppuration went deeper...

his skin may be rotting and...

Shut up!

Such disrespectful words
to say about the Prince!

I was just worried...

It's not serious enough for you
to worry. So, mind your own business.

Prince Shin Sung is the prince
most beloved by the King.

If I do something wrong,

I will lose everything I
gained in one moment.

It took me 10 hard years

to surpass Hur Joon and
stand here in this position.

I can't fail now, with the Royal
Physician position just in front of me.

I won't be pushed down again.

Sir.

What is it?

The Royal Physician
is looking for you.

Come in.

Did you want to see me?

I've been to the King's Palace.

With Prince Shin Sung being sick,
the King is very concerned.

I didn't tell him, but it's
something that you can cure

within several days. So, why
is there no progress?

The penetration of the disease is
quite deep. So it's taking longer.

Don't mind too much that I ask.

You are, now, in charge of medical
department; replacing me.

Don't make any mistakes.

Yes, sir.

You may go.

I would like to tell you something.

I was thinking of letting Dr Hur
take charge of Prince Shin Sung.

Dr Hur?

I'm going to let Dr Hur take charge
of Prince Shin Sung's health.

Is there a reason?

He has excellent skills
regarding tumors.

You decide.

There is no one else who knows
more than you about medicine.

You may do so.

He is a special Prince,
beloved by the King.

Tell him to take extra care.

Yes, sir.

Doctor Yoo.

Prince Shin Sung may be the
next on the throne.

How can we send him to
Dr Hur?

As you know, Dr Hur is
a very excellent Doctor.

Since such a man has been stuck
in the decoction room and library

for many years, with his skills
just rotting,

I'm going to give him an opportunity
to show his skills and

become a Court Doctor.

Since Dr Hur is under me,

isn't it my duty to open future
paths for him,

so he can develop?

If there isn't any more to say,
please excuse me.

What is he thinking inside?

How could I know all
his inner thoughts?

Dr Hur, the training session
is ready.

OK.

Let's take a break.

Please begin.

Herbs are divided into high, middle
and low class, depending on its effect.

Ock Jung, tell us about high class.

There are 120 kinds and are
considered primary herbs.

And?

It is the best quality herbs
used to extend one's life.

And, because it is related to
the energy of heaven,

it's non-toxic and doesn't harm
people, even if used for a long period.

Chae Ryung,
tell us about middle class.

Middle class: Prevents illness
and strengthens the weak parts.

There are also 120 kinds
and are used as main herbs.

Let's stop there.

Doctor is here.

Thank you for coming.

It's been a long time.

I'm sorry to make you come here.
You must be busy.

No, congratulations for
becoming Court Chief Nurse.

I don't know if I should
be congratulated...

I feel an even greater sense of
responsibility now that I'm in charge.

As Ye Jin mentioned, there are
high, middle and low class of herbs.

The ones you must be most careful
in using are the low class ones.

Low class: Medicine to cure illnesses

They have toxic side effects and
their strength is very strong.

They can damage the patient's
energy if not used properly.

Since they are toxic, they
caannot be used for a long period.

Among doctors and nurses, there
are people who misuse the low

class herbs for fast healing
and immediate results.

This is no different than giving
something toxic to the patients.

Sir.

What is it?

Dr. Yoo is looking for you.

Tell him I'm in training.

I told him, but he would like
to see you right away.

Did you want to see me?

You and Dr Jang are to tend to
Prince Shin Sung's sickness.

I was upset to see you being stuck
in the decoction room and library

with your excellent skills wasted
and rotting away.

So I requested the Royal Physician
to assign you. He finally approved.

I am content in putting all
my efforts in compiling

the medical books for
the library.

You should take care of
Prince Shin Sung,

since the King is very fond
of him.

Since I am, now, in charge of
the medical department and the

trust of the Royal Physician,
there's nothing more I want.

Do your best and look after
the Prince's health.

Make it an opportunity for youself
to become Royal Physician.

What is this?!

He was dying to bring you
misfortune before.

Why is he favoring you now?

Do you think it could be a plot?

Why do you mistrust someone's
intentions?

Prepare for treatment
and call the nurses.

Yes, sir.

There is suppuration in the tumor
that has spread to the Prince's neck.

He also has bedsores on his back.

I've never seen such a
serious tumor.

If you're not alert,
his life may be threaten.

What did I say?!

I told you the reason Dr. Yoo
recommended you is not because

of his kind intentions towards
you, but a ill-intented plot.

He pushed you to the cliff
just so he can live.

You're exaggerating.

I'd better go and see
the Royal Physician.

You can't be fooled like this.

The responsibility has been
placed on me now.

I can't say I can't do it,
even before I try anything.

Stop being so dense.

Do you want to walk into a trap
that is set to catch you?

Sir, please endure it a while.
Just a bit more...

Give me a towel.

What are you doing?!
Give me a towel.

It's too late.

The suppuration is too deep
to squeeze it out by hand.

In Bin queen is here.

Mother, mother...

- Dr Hur.
- Yes, Your Majesty.

What on earth are you doing?

I've heard about Dr Hur.

I heard your skills are excellent.
But aren't you treating him too

harshly? After all, he is sick
and only a child.

I'm sorry that I have to
say this. But,

if I give a mild treatment just
to temporarily ease the pain,

his life may be in danger.

What do you mean
his life may be in danger?!

She is asking you.
Answer her.

By my observation, his tumor
is not a common tumor.

Suppuration has spread to
the affected parts.

And, in vital areas,
the skin is rotten.

The reason he is in pain
is also because of this.

What do you mean?

The Doctor who was previously in
charge said it's only a minor tumor.

But you're saying he may die.

How can the words of two doctors
be so different?

Are you certain? Or, are you
just making an excuse

because you're not confident
in curing him?

I'm reported what I have
observed.

The Chief Doctor is here.

Let him in.

Sir, did you want to see me?

Sit down.

I heard some ridiculous thing so
I asked you here for confirmation.

Dr Hur said Prince Shin Sung's
illness is quite serious.

A few days ago, you told me
not to worry about his illness.

Overnight, his illness has
been deemed very serious.

Whose words are correct?

I'm sorry. But,

my words are correct and
so are Dr Hur's.

What are you talking about?!

Are you disrepecting the queen?

How could I dare?

At the time I was tending to
the Prince's illness, it

was only a minor illness. But,

his condition must have worsened
while Dr Hur was in charge.

Do you mean Dr Hur's treatment
was wrong?

Why did you recommend
such a doctor?

Your Majesty, Dr Hur's
medical skills are outstanding.

Since he has excellent skills
regarding tumors,

please just give him more time.

How can you be so inconsiderate?

Court Doctor's role is not just
curing the sicknesses.

Watching out for the Royals'
mental state and relieving

their anxieties are also part
of the duties of a Court Doctor.

Why did you report the Prince's
sickness as being serious

and make them worry?

I was just...

Although the Prince's tumor
is not common,

it's not so serious that
the Prince may die.

Please be careful with
what you say, in the future.

Are you out of your mind
or what?!

What are you doing these days?!

The house is so out of order!

Sam Wol!

Yes, ma'am.

- Are you having an affair?
- No, ma'am.

Then!

Then why are you out all
the time?

People have seen you

walking around in the market,
you know?

I didn't, ma'am.

If I hear about it again, I
will take action, you hear?

What are you looking at? Go!

You bastard!

Wow! She yells at people as if
she's the owner from a wealthy house.

Right? It is indeed, right?

She knows
what she is talking about.

They say a frog cannot remember
the time when it was a tadpole.

Please think of your old times and
don't be so severe with the servants.

Listen to you talk.

Ma'am.

Unyun!

Unyun!

Where are you going?

I'm going out for a while.

What is that?

It's nothing.

I said what is it?

I asked the kitchen worker
to cook

spring chicken, with ginseng,
to give to Gyum.

How many times have I told you?!

I will pick a good man to be
your husband. So,

forget about Gyum.

No! I'm going to marry Gyum!

Unyun!

Look at that silly girl!
Unyun!

What is it?

Unyun is being so stubborn
about marrying Gyum.

That can't happen.

Joon's family is special.

How can you even dream
about it?!

Excuse me?
What's wrong with you?

What?

I don't like what you just said.
What's wrong with us?!

Joon married Dahee, who is

from a noble family, even though
his social status was low.

We're rich now.
There is no reason why we can't.

You're right. You're right, indeed.

Unyun.

Have you been well?

Look at you talk.

You're a fine lady now.

What are you here for?

Is Gyum...

Go to his room.

Isn't it Unyun?

She came to see Gyum.

Why?

When they were young, it was
acceptable for them to be close.

Now, she's grown up, she should
avoid socializing with boys.

It's fine.

Gyum, I'm here.

Gyum...

It must be tough studying.
Please have some of this.

I cooked a spring chicken
with ginseng.

I'm fine.

I'm fine, so give it to
grandmother.

But I brought it for you...

I have a lot of books to read,
so please leave.

Gyum...

Do you really not know how I feel?

I hate you.

Hey.

Hello.

Bring all medicine keepers
and medicine managers.

What is going on?

Do as I say!
Don't talk back!

Yes, ma'am.

I said you should keep high and
medium quality herbs separate.

What if they get mixed up? Put them
in their appropriate place right away.

Oh, dear!

Hey, hey!

If you see Doctor Yoo,
you will die.

Sir, the chief nurse called
everyone to gather outside.

The chief nurse?
Did she say I have to go too?

What is going on?

I heard there is one, among you,
who has harassed our nurses.

Who is it?!

Oh, my god!

It's not just one person!

If it's not one, then 3 of 4?!

Who is it?! Is it you?!

- No.
- Is it you?!

No!

Mr. Ko. It's you, right?!

No, no.

Whoever it was, if he
tries to do it again,

I will tie your hands and
place it on the chopper.

Then I will lift the knife
and let it drop.

It will never happen.

So, let's end it here.
Go back inside!

Jang Duk, come out.

Who is it that harassed you?

Why are you looking at me?
I don't know you.

Chief Nurse.

Can I see you?

What a humiliation!

I never tried to lay hands

on her or harassed her!

How can I look at another girl
when I have you?

She feels like
a daughter to me, so...

If I hear that you even stared
at one of nurses again,

I won't stay quiet.

See you at home.

I have to be on night duty again.

Is the Prince
showing any progress?

Sorry, but no.

No?

How many days have it been since
you took charge? And still nothing?

I heard you visit Prince Kwang Hae

often and have close relationship.
Is that true?

Could it be that you are caring more
about Kwang Hae then Shin Sung?

No, I am doing my best
to look after the Prince.

If there is no progress,
you'd better prepare for punishment!

Let's go.

You must be tired.
Go and get some rest.

No, I'm fine.

I found it.

I found a way to cure the Prince.

What are you doing at this time?

Where is Ohgun?

Over there.

Hello, sir.

Uh... I have something to tell you.

You and I have
a strange relationship.

Do you know
what dream I just had?

You and I went fishing

and we caught so many fishes
that are the size of my arm.

What dream could it be?

Could it be a dream of conception?

I have a request for you.

What is it?

- Is there still no news?
- No.

- Sir.
- How did it go?

Here, I brought it.

Thank you.

Take it inside and give treatment.

What is he taking about?

It's a secret method to cure
Prince Shin Sung.

Secret method?

You mean the secret method is
in the pot he took inside?

Yes.

What is it?

What is it?

I said what is it?

What?

What... what is that?

You must bare it, although
it may be painful.

I asked what it is!

What? Leech?

Dr Hur is sticking leech on
the Prince's diseased parts.

What are you doing?

Are you mad?

How can you do such a thing
unless you're crazy?

It's to cure his disease...

Remove them right away!

Your Majesty.

I said remove such
disgusting things!

No, Your Majesty.

What?

This is the only way to

cure his disease.

What about
acupuncture and decoction?

His disease is too deep to be
treated with acupuncture and decoction.

So is that all you could
come up with?

How dare you put disgusting
snakes on the Prince's back?!

This is nothing, but
disrespecting the Prince.

I can't accept it.
Stop your treatment!

I must continue it, Your Majesty.

What?

Don't even think about
disobeying her words!

If I stop the treatment now,
the Prince's life is in danger.

The person curing the illness
is a doctor, Your Majesty.

Since you placed me in charge,

please have faith and wait
until I finish the treatment.

- Wipe the patient's blood.
- Yes.

If you have eyes,
look at what he is doing.

What on earth are you doing?!

I'm using leech to suck out
the bloody pus.

Shut up!
Using leech to cure tumor?

Are you out of your mind?

Leeches can suck enough blood
to even floor a cow or horse.

This is the only way to deal
with the suppuration that has

penetrated into his sickly parts.

He is disrespecting the Prince
and tricking everyone.

Order him to stop the treatment.

I'm not disrespecting the Prince.
It's to save the Prince.

We must stop the treatment.

You must make an order!

No!
This is the only way.

- Shut up!
- No.

Why are you yelling,
in front of the patient?

Please look at Prince Shin Sung.

Imagine how painful it must
have been for the Prince to faint?

I can't forgive him,
Your Majesty.

How can a doctor do such a
ridiculous thing?

My apologies, Your Majesty.

But he was just trying to cure
the patient's sickness...

I don't want to hear it!

I considered his skills
very special

and thought differently about
his integrity.

But this time, it's hard for me
to accept his treatment.

You're trying to cure the
Prince's illness with leeches.

What's the difference between your
treatment and the folk remedies

practiced among
the uneducated people?!

I've increased your anxiety

and I deserve to die.

But Your Majesty,

I have a firm belief that
only this treatment

can save the Prince.

If you hold me guilty for being
disloyal, I will take the punishment.

But please allow me to
finish the treatment before that.

If I don't treat him now, the
suppuration will deepen in his body.

Then, we may not be able to
return him to normal.

Stop it!

Don't try to confuse the King.

If you can't believe me,

place your hand on
the Prince's forehead.

It should be very hot; like fire.

The reason he fainted

is not because of the pain,
but because of the high fever.

If we leave him like this, the
suppuration will penetrate deeply

into his bone and put
his life in danger.

Please reconsider,
Your Majesty.

Please trust him and
let him continue.

I've also seen a record that King
Joong Jong also used

leeches to take out bloody pus,
when he was suffering from a tumor.

And, it cured his illness.

Are you confident?

- Your Majesty!
- In Bin, don't interrupt.

Are you confident to cure the Prince?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Continue as you believe.

I will trust your assurance.

Prince Shin Sung's pain is my pain,

so you will have to cure him,
whatever it takes.

I will do my best to cure him.
