Original subtitles

Why are you so weak?

Harder.

I am trying hard.

What is this sound that I keep hearing?

I feel that they are doing something intense upstairs.

Are they fighting by any chance?

Go, Yeon-gyeong.

Next, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Tilt the head back and raise the chin.

-Why do we do this? -To open the airway.

I know that much.

Lady Yeon-gyeong, I have an idea.

-How about I just demonstrate this on you? -That's enough.

Give two breaths, right now.

Put pressure on the chest 30 times.

Straighten your arms. Place your palms in the middle of the chest.

Your fingers shouldn't touch the ribs.

Why should I learn this ridiculous thing?

"Ridiculous thing"?

Don't you know how important this is?

They don't have an ambulance there. You should at least learn this

before you go so you can save people.

I am good

at saving people without this.

I know, but...

Now, you should go back to the place where you belong.

You saw earlier

how people here live.

There's no war here,

and we have a lot of doctors and hospitals.

We have emergency services,

medicine, and food.

We can live without your help here.

But Joseon is at war,

and there aren't many hospitals or doctors.

They lack medicine and food.

There are many people who need your help.

You need to go back to Joseon and protect it.

But before that,

just give me three days.

Just three days.

We're done with this one.

Next, we have...

Which one do you prefer?

GO VACATIONING TO A PENSION GO TO NAJU, YOUR HOMETOWN

What is this?

Isn't she pretty?

Did you meet a woman when you were in Joseon?

No, that's not it.

Look closely.

She has a flat nose and small eyes.

Gosh, she's not pretty at all.

Gosh, your taste in women is so bad. What should I do with you?

It is you.

She's so gorgeous. Oh, my.

No wonder she looks so pretty. She's literally glowing. So pretty.

-You're good at drawing. -Give it to me.

Send this picture to "my other half."

SEND THIS PICTURE TO MY OTHER HALF

The picture is being sent.

It's here.

Oh, my. What a beauty.

What is next?

Do you want to do this next?

I want to do this next.

We should do this. We have this too. How about this?

It does not matter what we do first. I can just do anything I want.

Then why are we even making plans?

-Then why did you ask for my opinion? -Are you saying we shouldn't do anything?

I want to do everything. But we do not have much time.

We should do this first.

I said I want to do this first.

Then let's do this first.

We don't need to go grocery shopping in a hurry.

Why are you always hungry?

Try living in Joseon and say that.

I don't normally eat much, so it'll be all right.

If you say that in Joseon, people will be angry at you.

Why do you always say that?

This is what people will be like!

Why not order poison to kill me like they do?

Why did you buy so much? No one can eat this much.

I will eat everything.

Don't you leave any food.

If there are leftovers, I'll take them to Joseon!

We spent all day grocery shopping.

I am leaving soon. It's the least you can do.

Why do you keep saying that? I know you're leaving soon!

Then you shouldn't act like that.

If I were you, I'd treat you nicely!

That's not that hard!

Why didn't you do this for me earlier?

We wouldn't have bought so much and taken less time.

-Have a seat, please. -Oh, my.

I made this food for Mr. Choe,

Byeong-gi, and Jae-suk.

I did all the cooking. Have a seat.

All right. It looks delicious.

Oh, my. It smells nice.

There's so much food here.

Let's take a seat.

Is today a special day? It's not Director Choe's birthday.

I realized that we never had a meal together.

Please enjoy the meal we prepared for you.

All right.

We have more inside, so eat as much as you want.

Sir, is it delicious?

Yes.

Yes, it's delicious.

Jae-suk, do you like it?

Did you make this for human?

It's all right. I'm going to eat so much today.

Enjoy your meal.

Eat up.

Why is she taking so long? We are in a hurry.

Are you ready? Get in position.

You're complaining again. Go back to your place.

We're ready.

I'm ready. I'll press the button now.

You look pretty.

Next patient, please.

Dr. Heo?

What brings you here?

-You asked for the next patient. -What?

I came here to get acupuncture.

I have been going on so many dates with Dr. Choe

that my shoulder has started to ache since yesterday.

Please go easy on me.

I didn't apply acupuncture yet.

If I were you, I would apply it on different points.

On hugye, gonryun, and tonggok.

Are you teasing me?

Why did you come here if you don't trust me?

Gosh, how come a descendant treats his ancestor

in such an insolent way?

Are you going to do acupuncture without offering me a drink?

Thank you.

You seem to be around my age.

How long have you been so good

at applying acupuncture?

Well,

from the start.

I'm joking. I do not know since when.

I have treated so many patients since I became a doctor.

It happened at some point.

How many could you have treated at your age?

How many have you treated?

Dozens a day, sometimes over 100, for ten years.

Dozens? 100?

Gosh. I cannot believe that old man.

He should have warned me about it.

Is that why you don't have fingerprints on your thumbs and index fingers?

You don't get anything for free, right?

You show off so much.

Dr. Yoo, you have a good heart as a doctor.

I am sure you will do well.

What's going on here?

-It can't be. -Well...

Do not be so happy about it.

What about Yeon-gyeong, then?

I hope you can treat her with respect

from now on, Dr. Yoo.

After me, you care for her the most,

as a younger brother does to his sister.

A younger brother, I mean.

Are you here to ask me to care for Yeon-gyeong?

I have one more favor to ask you.

Yeon-gyeong.

Grandfather.

Can I go with him?

I want to be with him.

Oh, my.

I can't be without him now.

Grandfather, please.

Let me go with him, please.

I want to go with him.

I want to go with him, Grandfather.

I want to go with him. I'm okay with anything.

I want to go.

Grandfather.

Grandfather, let me go with him.

Goodness.

I'm sorry, Grandfather.

I will forget these tears.

Only your smile.

I'll only take your smile with me.

If you give me what I cannot take there with me,

there wouldn't be enough space

for what I really should take with me.

Your hand that held a scalpel.

How you looked in a lab coat.

How you cared for your patients.

Those are the things I'll take in my heart.

Just remember one thing,

that my heart beats

because of you.

If you don't have anywhere to go,

you could stay for a while.

The rain sounds especially cool today.

I promised you

that I would never leave you alone ever again.

I made tea by boiling down green tea, kudzu flower, and arrowroot.

Take it every morning and evening.

What? Is it for me?

-I will. -In my opinion,

rather than that Cheol-su guy whom I've never met,

this fool here is a much better man.

Jae-suk.

Don't call me a fool though.

And I know it is shameless of me to ask you for this favor,

but please look after

Mom and Bong-sik.

Sure, I'll do that.

What should I do with this fool?

I know what is trendy nowadays,

-but ladies prefer straightforward men. -Straightforward men.

What does that mean?

What?

Thank you so much for everything.

-Mr. Choe. -The bow was enough.

It's hard.

You don't need to say a long goodbye.

Go on. She must be waiting for you.

Please be healthy.

Don't worry.

I'll stay by Yeon-gyeong's side for a long, long time.

Then, goodbye.

It's sad, even after saying goodbye.

Are you sad? I bet he'll come back again soon.

"Come greet me!" Like this.

Where is he going that he's so serious?

He didn't even bring the needles.

Seeing how he's dressed up, Joseon perhaps.

This isn't a time to joke around.

I wasn't joking around.

Around this season, cold and dry air

could damage your lungs.

So make sure to keep yourself warm.

It must be colder in winter there.

Thank you for being part

of my strange destiny.

Now,

you won't be hurt anymore.

I am sorry I could not keep my promise.

Now,

I won't be waiting for you.

Goodbye.

You'll be lonely alone.

I'll be with you.

I will ease your pain.

My world after I left you

by yourself.

Dr. Heo!

It is a bullet wound patient.

This land has become

a land full of death,

pain, and screaming everywhere.

Wake up.

Hey.

There are more lives that I am unable to save

than the ones that I can.

I am facing their death

and pain like it is my fate.

Although I am weak

before the endless obstacles,

I cannot stop this journey because there are people

who do not give up

and are waiting for me.

When I lose a patient and cannot even cry, I think about it.

Could we have saved more patients

with the medical technology from your world?

What kind of patient is this?

A traffic accident. The steering wheel slammed his chest.

-Blood pressure? -It's 70 over 80.

-His pulse is 130. -There's blood pooled in his heart.

To the OR right away. Move.

No.

Patient Lee Jae-ung

passed away

on October 1, 2017,

at 3:31 p.m.

There are still a lot of lives we can't save in this world

where medical technology has made great progress.

Please clench your fist.

Sometimes, unexplainable miracles happen.

Thank you.

However, I know

that those aren't miracles.

Please give her pain reliever.

As you said,

life and death

are up to the almighty.

Emergency patient!

-Emergency. Please make way! -Let's go.

Doctors are doing their best

every day

to prevent a single death

in the middle of life or death.

Are you crying today

in your world

because you lost someone you should have saved?

In your world,

how many deaths

have you faced today?

Are you...

Are you...

...doing okay?

...all right?

Dr. Heo. You are here. Thank you for coming.

Where is the patient?

This way.

Mom.

Hey.

Boil some honeysuckle and licorice in water.

Make her drink that often.

Okay. Thank you so much, Dr. Heo.

Will she live now?

Yes, do not worry.

She will get better.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -You are welcome.

He got sick from where he stayed after he evacuated.

But he could not get treated because there was no doctor there.

It seems like he could only last a few days.

Who is it?

He is Heo Im from Hyeminseo.

Heo Im, you punk.

My biggest regret will be not being able to kill you

before I die.

I came to treat you

because I heard you were ill.

What did you say?

May I check your pulse?

Do you think I am not aware

of your scheme?

I am sure you are here to humiliate me

and take revenge for what I have done to you.

What?

Are you satisfied to see me

dying like this?

I will leave you

if you do not want my help.

You cannot just leave like this.

Please.

Please save me.

Spare our lives.

Please just spare our lives, my lord!

Then I shall take a look.

It is malignant tumors.

They already have spread everywhere in his body.

It is too late.

I know that my mother

did not have a chance even if you treated her that day.

I still wanted revenge on you for her.

What I can do now is to reduce his pain.

Do not worry.

You are only a patient who needs a doctor's treatment.

Which way was servant Sam-wol's house?

It must be this way.

SHINHYE HOSPITAL

I said I don't want to eat!

I told you many times already. Take it away from me!

Why are you doing this again?

-Min-jae. -Yes?

Oh, right. I forgot. You're a fellow. Sorry.

-Su-ho. -Yes, Dr. Choe.

Call the cafeteria and tell them to do a better job of preparing meals.

How could they provide greasy food to a patient with heart disease?

Yes, Dr. Choe.

Tell them to give her light meats,

-fish, and vegetables, okay? -I got it, Dr. Choe.

They better give only tasty food since she's a picky eater.

This place needs to be cleaned again.

We must keep the wards clean.

-Do a better job. -Yes, ma'am.

Bye.

Eighth-grade syndrome.

You have surgery coming up. Where are you going at this hour?

Why do you care?

What? Are you going to stop me?

No, why would I do that?

I'm going to go with you.

I have

a car too.

Wear your monitor before we go.

I've got everything else you need here,

but you need to get that yourself.

OPENING OF CHILD CARDIOLOGY CENTER IN SHINHYE HOSPITAL

Gosh, Dr. Choe.

It's been such a long time.

I heard that you've become an attending. That's impressive at your age.

I still have a lot to learn.

You're a skilled doctor, and your theses are outstanding.

You'll soon become a chief and more.

-Don't you think so? -Of course.

She's an indispensable doctor in our hospital.

Ha-ra's mother donated a huge amount of money

in respect for our Dr. Choe.

I don't know how I should return the favor.

Why would you return the favor?

What?

It's not for you,

but for sick children like Ha-ra.

Right! You're right about that.

Please work hard so that there aren't any children who can't get treated

because they can't pay for it, Chairman Shin.

-Sure. -You too, Dr. Hwang.

Sure.

That's the message from Ha-ra's mother.

Did you meet her? When?

On the anniversary of Ha-ra's death.

Please excuse me now that I delivered her message.

-See you. -Okay.

This way, sir.

OPENING OF CHILD CARDIOLOGY CENTER IN SHINHYE HOSPITAL

DONATED BY OH HA-RA

I'll see you on your next anniversary, Ha-ra.

Stop it.

What?

Jealous that I'm an attending before you?

No.

I'll just stay as a fellow if I have to work as hard as you to be an attending.

-What? -You're all about patients and surgeries.

That's not living, you see.

What else is there for a doctor other than patients and surgeries?

You think you're the only doctor. That's a serious illness.

You'll never fix that mental disease.

You dated two men at once and lived like a human being.

Yeon-gyeong.

Gosh, that douchebag is here again.

Why do I feel so down every time I see him?

He bought only two cups of coffee too.

-Do you feel down? -Maybe it's because of his height.

Then,

eat this.

Bye.

Hey. Do you think I'm still a child?

My goodness. I'm going back.

What's this? Wedding invitations already?

It's next month.

He came to Seoul Station last week and handed the invitations out.

Gosh, Mr. Kim will

finally have a daughter-in-law.

He got back together with his son a year ago

and worked as a security guard.

He bragged so much about how he paid

for his son's wedding with the money he saved up.

I see.

I'm glad to hear that.

The other guys

planned everything in advance from washing their clothes

to going to a sauna before the wedding day.

What now? Why are you looking at me like that?

It's just

I'm proud of you.

I'm sure you're busy as is.

But I heard from Grandfather that you visit them regularly.

Once every two weeks.

I'm not going because Heo Im asked me to.

-What? -I mean...

I did go there because he asked me to at first.

Now, I like going there.

It's out of my own will.

I know.

My skills improved a lot too.

I want to show him,

but I can't.

I know.

He'd be so happy if he found out.

We could go to the wedding together.

Gosh, you are not going to cut my flesh with that, are you?

Yes.

You cannot possibly hurt my body that my parents have given me.

It has already been hurt.

It'd be better for you and your parents to keep your life this way.

-Face the front. -But still...

Let me see.

It is going in.

Superintendent!

Superintendent. Superintendent Heo!

Wait a moment.

Mak-gae.

Did I not tell you to stop calling me that?

Oh, my.

You are Sayaka.

Thank you for remembering my name.

But, please forget that name now.

I am

Kim Chung-seon.

Do you remember me?

General.

I didn't even get to thank you.

Thank you for saving my life.

Welcome.

Welcome.

I heard that a general had become Korean along with his soldiers,

but I didn't know that it was you.

I had also heard

that there was a doctor who went into the battlefield

and saved a lot of people.

That was you.

How did we end up on the same side?

We just chose the life that fit us the most.

And my life was given to me again by you.

Is that lady doing well?

I believe so.

Are you

not with her anymore?

She went back to where she belongs.

The two of you together

were very beautiful.

Were we?

If you...

see her again,

please let her know

how the man she saved

led his life after she saved him.

She would know already.

-What is this? -You startled me.

Gosh. It was you.

Did you come in through the back door?

It is so pretty. I have never seen that before.

Is it?

It is called a heart.

It has two meanings.

One indicates your organ,

and the other your feelings when you like someone.

A girl that looked just like you told me this.

-Mister. -Yes?

When can I start learning medicine?

Medicine?

After some time, when you grow up

-and become a big girl-- -Mister!

Gosh, an adult is talking to you.

Oh, my.

I was the one that saved her, and yet, she does not even hug me.

Oh, my. Yeon-i, you are here.

Yes, I have come here to look at herb medicine.

You will become a great doctor in the future.

Yes, I will become a better doctor than Dr. Heo.

Gosh, Yeon-i.

You do not know who I am.

We do. You are the superintendent who has been stuck in Hyeminseo

for ten years.

-And whose fault is that? -Are you saying it is my fault?

What brings you all the way here?

You are a busy physician that serves His Majesty.

That is why I came here.

The ringing in His Majesty's ears does not seem to be getting any better.

His Majesty wishes to receive acupuncture,

so I recommended you.

Did I make the wrong choice?

It is for you to decide. Why are you glaring at me?

Dr. Heo!

Dr. Heo!

Please save my son!

He was butted by a cow's horn.

Dr. Heo, please help him!

Stop it. He has to go to the palace right now.

You should go to another doctor.

No, I cannot.

If it is not Dr. Heo, my son will die.

It looks as if he will soon be dead.

-Let's go. -Move him into the room.

And bring some water, needles, and the seed of morus bark.

Yes, Dr. Heo. Follow me.

Thank you.

Goodness.

Dr. Heo,

are you going to make His Majesty wait?

Tell him there's a patient in more serious condition

-and that he needs to wait. -What?

Hey.

Hey, are you out of your mind?

How dare you do that to His Majesty?

Are you willing to face the consequences?

He is His Majesty's people.

He is someone that His Majesty needs to protect and look after.

If you stop me and the boy dies,

will you be able to handle the angry people?

Gosh, how can this be?

Oh, my.

Fortunately, his organs have not been damaged,

but the wound is big and could be dangerous.

I need to stitch them up.

Really?

Stitch them up? How?

For the wound to heal faster, we need to stitch the wound up.

What? The flesh?

Oh, my. What do I do?

Goodness.

Such insolence.

How dare you make His Majesty wait?

His Majesty forgave your sin because of what you have done during the war.

Have you not come to your senses?

Look at this man.

Ask His Majesty for forgiveness!

So, did you save

the child?

Thanks to your grace,

he is alive.

Then it is enough.

Do not mention it any longer.

I have heard of your reputation as a doctor,

but this is something that even the royal physicians could not treat.

Also, how would I be able to trust you after you disgraced me last time?

Your Majesty,

I do not know well about acupuncture.

What I know is that Heo Im's treatment is different from that of other doctors.

The numerous patients

that he saved prove the effectiveness of his unique acupuncture technique

which is different from what other doctors use.

Please trust him.

Start your treatment.

Did you not hear that the King ran away early in the morning?

So the angry people are setting everything on fire.

He deserves to be ripped to pieces. How could he leave the people behind?

What are you doing?

Start your treatment.

Ringing in the ears is a very painful illness

because only the patient knows the pain while others do not.

Because of that, it is also called, "the crying of the heart."

I hope that the crying of your heart

is tears of atonement and consolation for the innocent people

who perished during the war.

To console Your Majesty's heart, I will concentrate on sobu and jungjeo

and apply acupuncture on six points.

After that, I will stop the wind sounds in the head

by applying acupuncture on the three points behind the neck.

I'm truly impressed. You do live up to your reputation.

Dr. Heo Im, receive the royal command.

"Heo Im, the doctor of Hyeminseo,

will be appointed to the Royal Infirmary. Do your very best

in taking care of the health of King

and the Crown Prince."

I was promoted to the senior sixth rank.

They want me to work at the palace.

Then why is it that you look so down?

You have finally achieved what you have wanted so much.

I'm not awarded for saving lives on the battlefield,

but for treating a minor illness of His Majesty. Absurd.

You will be in big trouble for saying that.

A minor illness of His Majesty?

Then why don't you go tell them I said that?

Important rewards

are not given meaninglessly like that.

In your life, there comes a time when you long for something.

Then, an unexpected present comes to you.

That is a real reward.

Anyway,

I will catch up with you soon.

How dare you? I am three levels higher than you.

You have no idea.

Our descendants regard me higher no matter what you do.

They all say

that I rock.

It means I am good.

You are so outdated.

We say things like, "dope, thumbs up, slay."

What?

I can't believe the generation gap.

Did you still

have that and not have eaten it?

How could I eat this?

They will know how we live.

But we have no way to find out how they live.

I am curious whether Cheon-sul is okay.

Cheon-sul.

Why drink in the middle of the day? Is this what you do these days?

Gosh, I have a couple of drinks when I'm bored.

I'm not an alcoholic, so don't worry.

I heard you were busy fishing and going to the mountains.

I'm really busy.

I might die because I'm busy being unemployed.

It's good that you look healthy.

I'm healthy.

Since I gave up greed and my bad reputation like you said,

my heart and body are healthier than ever.

You are finally becoming mature.

Since we're talking about it,

can I work here as an oriental medical doctor?

What?

You're talking nonsense.

I'm healthy. Why would we need two doctors in this outdated oriental medicine clinic?

I'll take only half the pay. No, I'll work for free.

When will you start working?

Look at your eyes twinkling.

You just stopped drinking.

I know that my liver isn't mine anymore.

Can't you see I'm drinking with my eyes since I can't drink?

That's soju, not beer. You can't drink it with your eyes.

If you can't take it anymore, drink arrowroot, and kudzu flower tea.

Did you drink your tea this morning?

Why are you getting more talkative?

Should I marry you or not?

The wedding invitations are already printed.

I really want to cancel.

SHINHYE HOSPITAL

-Cut. -Cut.

-Finish it up. -You did a great job.

-Good work. -You did great indeed.

-You're fast and clean. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you feel down, go have fun at a club. It's been a while.

Gosh.

It's been a while since I went to a club. Shall I?

Want to join me?

Gosh, my back.

Gosh, my neck. Am I good?

-No, you shouldn't go. -No, right?

I just can't dance.

Nurse Jung.

What do you do when you miss someone

so much?

There's nothing much. You just go see them.

Right, go see them.

If you can't,

see them from your heart.

I mean count to 200.

You should count to 200.

I will come back before you finish.

One.

Two,

three.

Four.

Five.

Five.

Here.

I wanted to become someone who made hearts beat.

This point is called Nogung.

Press here when your heart is tired and exhausted,

and your mind will become clear and lively.

What is this?

I told you to prepare for next year's medical exam.

Those books will help your studies. Read them closely.

Goodness.

You should not hate studying so much.

Do you think simply picking up the skills is enough to be a doctor?

Mak-gae.

You cannot just run errands here forever.

About the world that lady lives in.

You said that even women can be doctors there, right?

Yes, that's right.

It must be nice.

Do not think about useless stuff, and focus on your studies.

Silly brat.

Gosh, I do not want to study.

When will she be able to start living as a woman?

Mak-gae, you poor thing.

Dr. Heo!

It is getting late. Why not come tomorrow?

I was worried you might get hungry after working hard so late.

They should have saved this

to feed themselves instead.

Send them my gratitude.

Okay, doctor.

Mak-gae.

I told you not to run.

They just love playing so much.

CONSULTATION

CHOE YEON-GYEONG

It must hurt a lot. How did you get injured?

I heard the whistle and ran away.

Then I fell down the stairs.

Don't forget to watch your step if you're in a rush.

Always be careful.

Okay.

You saw what I did, right?

I'll give you this.

Take it and treat your wound once every day.

It's to prevent infection.

-Thank you. -Bye.

Bye.

We come here once every two weeks. Stop by if you need something.

Nurse Jung.

I'm sorry to call you out here when it's your day off today.

Don't mention it. The weather is nice, so it's better than staying home.

I wanted to participate in this too, so thank you for asking me.

Thanks for taking it that way.

Next person in line. Please go in. You have a back problem.

Who was that man just now?

They're filming a historical drama.

Maybe there's a place renting out Joseon clothes. I guess so.

It must've hurt a lot.

How did you get injured?

I was on my way to meet someone.

I fell off a bike as I was in a rush.

I missed you.

I'm sorry I came so late.

In your life, there comes a time when you long for something

or want something.

Then, an unexpected present comes to you.

That is a real reward.

Did you not miss me?

Are you here for a while?

What do you mean, a while? I am here to live with you.

-When did I say I would live with you? -Do you have a boyfriend by any chance?

I have many male friends.

What is a male friend?

What is a male friend? After boyfriend, now it's a male friend?

-What is the difference? -When are you leaving?

I told you already. I came here to live with you.

You said the same thing before.

So I am back now.

I am sorry.

Forget it. You abandoned me once. You can do it twice.

What do you mean I abandoned you?

It is not like that. I thought it was impossible for me to live here.

Forget it.

Where else can I go? I cannot live without you now.

JUST REMEMBER ONE THING

THAT MY HEART BEATS BECAUSE OF YOU

MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU

THOSE WHO ARE DOING YOUR BEST IN WHAT YOU DO

ARE LIVING UP TO YOUR NAME

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING LIVE UP TO YOUR NAME

Gosh, I thought I was dying.

I'm getting a strange feeling.

That is not where you should apply it.

What do you want?
