SECRET HEALER

EPISODE 3

The Crown Prince says he sees a girl in his dreams every night.

Could that girl be his deceased twin sister?

A girl...

My baby.

My baby.

-Come out. -I'm not scared.

-I'm not scared. -My baby.

-I'm not scared. -My baby.

-My poor baby. -I'm not scared.

-My baby. -I'm not scared.

I'm not scared.

I'm not scared.

Where have you been?

Did you go out to visit Yeon-hee?

-Yes. -What have I told you?

I forbade you to go see Yeon-hee.

Why is it forbidden?

After all,

we are not related by blood.

Poong-yeon.

I have been wondering this for a while.

Why am I forbidden to see Yeon-hee?

And why does she have to be confined there?

Please tell me.

Why must we not see each other?

I don't want to lose either one of you.

What do you mean?

That is all I can tell you.

I can't let you see her.

You have always been like this.

You never tell me why, but you remain so against it.

If I could have stopped myself, I would have.

But I cannot

stop myself any more.

I went to a fortune-teller in Baeksagol

and they told me that Jun would overthrow Ok.

It's not like I trust the words of a petty fortune-teller.

It's just for fun, isn't it?

Yes, my lady.

He isn't capable of doing such a thing.

How dare a fortune-teller say that?

I still have my doubts.

I heard Jun is doing strange things nowadays.

Pardon?

I heard he's willing to do anything that will earn him money.

I'm worried that he might do something that will disgrace the Heo family.

My apologies.

I will give him a warning.

That is not enough. You need to make him give up!

He might be tempted to take the state examination

or seek a position in the government.

He was young and rebellious back then.

He is not like that anymore.

Make sure you discipline him.

He shouldn't want to do what Ok does.

He is only the son of a servant.

Don't worry, my lady.

That will never happen again.

I will take your word on that.

You are responsible for Jun.

Do you understand?

By the way, why is your skin so fair at your age?

Stop. The water is cold now.

That is not enough. You need to make him give up!

He might be tempted to take the state examination

or seek public office.

He is only the son of a servant.

What are you doing? Go to bed.

Master.

Have you seen Jun?

Jun?

Hasn't he returned yet?

He should be on his way.

It's cold outside. You should go inside.

Oh, gosh.

You will be waiting all night.

I'm not scared.

-I'm not scared. -Ouch!

Ouch.

How could you be so foolish?

Why would you climb over a valley for a useless kite?

-I don't understand. -What? A useless kite?

Gosh, I only got it for you since you said it was important to you.

What's more important than a human life?

You should have brought it back in good condition.

Look at this. It's all ripped up.

You're right. I must have been out of my mind.

It's just a useless kite.

Ouch. Be gentle. It hurts.

Don't be a baby.

Hey, that hurts.

It's all done.

What?

Oh, okay.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I need to go home.

My mother will be worried.

At this hour?

It's already dark so it will be dangerous.

You should wait until the sun comes up.

What?

Are you suggesting that I spend the night here?

You need to be careful around men.

You can leave if you want.

-It doesn't matter to me. -Oh, gosh.

Why are you still here?

I'm leaving.

Then hurry up.

I'm leaving!

Hey, actually

on second thought

it wouldn't be right of me to leave you here all alone.

So I'll make an exception and sleep here tonight.

We won't be sleeping in the same room, right?

Obviously, I'll sleep inside and you'll be out on the porch.

-On the porch? -Why? Are you scared?

Hey.

Who says I'm scared?

I was just worried

that I might freeze out here while I'm sleeping.

It's warm during the day but at night...

Are you asleep?

Not yet.

Hey, Persimmon Girl.

Is your name Yeon-hee, by any chance?

How did you know?

I heard your dad call you a while ago.

I see.

By the way,

why does your dad leave you alone in this dangerous place?

Were you also born in a family that you weren't supposed to be born in?

A family I wasn't supposed to be born in?

It's when your presence becomes a burden to your family.

Were you born in such a family?

Is that why your dad left you here?

There is nobody in this world who shouldn't have been born.

That's what my brother told me.

Whoever that person is,

whether they were born in a noble family or not,

and whether they have a disease or not,

each person that is born can contribute something to the world.

Life is about finding out what that is.

So don't be too sad.

There must be a reason why you were born.

Hey.

How did the conversation get here?

I never said I was sad.

Then that's good.

One more thing.

Don't ever let anybody else sleep here, okay?

A lady should be more cautious.

You're lucky I don't have bad intentions.

Do you understand?

Is that why you barged into my house and stole from me?

That's not what happened.

Go to sleep.

My gosh.

There must be a reason why you were born.

If Yeon-hee's curse reveals itself today, her 17th birthday,

the deadly curse will start to spread.

We must find a way to break the curse here.

This is our last resort.

-Here he comes! -Here he comes!

-Here he comes! -Here he comes!

-Here he comes! -Here he comes!

-Here he comes! -Here he comes!

-Here he comes! -Here he comes!

-Master. -Here.

Hey. Look.

What?

I brought the kite

as promised.

You said you came here for this.

I don't know what's going on

but you can take it.

I'm only letting you borrow it.

So make sure you bring it back.

It's your turn, Master.

You should keep your promise.

Oh, dear.

Let's give him an applause.

Let's give him an applause!

You're incredible! You're incredible, Jun.

How incredible.

You really did it. What are you doing?

-Applaud for him! -Applaud!

Applaud!

Since I gave you my word, I'll keep my end of the deal.

Here.

What should I do? I'm out of money.

Here.

Take this for now, all right?

I'll give you the rest when I get home.

Why are you just standing there? Pick it up.

What is it? Do you think I won't pay you?

Don't worry.

I'll pay you every penny at home.

Okay?

That's my boy.

Pick it up.

Okay?

Pick up every single coin.

That is the only way you'll buy your mother's freedom.

Did you think I didn't know about that?

I know you're saving every penny,

so that you can buy your mother's freedom.

Why are you just watching?

Take out your wallets.

-Donate some money. -Sure!

-There you go. -Take it.

Don't stop. Give me that.

Give me that drink.

Jun, you worked so hard.

Let me pour you a drink.

Take it.

Just take it.

There you go.

How did you bring this kite?

Rumor has it

that there is a pretty ghost living in the Black Forest.

Did you

offer yourself to her all night to get this in return?

Did you?

I guess that's not entirely absurd.

That's how your mother

had you.

That's how she had you.

Like this!

Jun.

What should we do about this?

I don't plan on giving you her servant certificate.

Your mother

will have to lick my feet until she ends up in her grave.

Just like this.

You jerk!

-Let go of me. -Why?

-Ok! -Ok!

-Ok! -Master!

Mother!

Jun.

-Mother. -Where have you been all this time?

I was so worried about you.

Why do you look so messy?

Did you hurt yourself?

How did you end up like this?

You foolish brats!

Where is Jun?

Jun!

What is the matter, Master?

What is the matter?

Don't you see this?

What

happened to your face?

Ask him yourself.

Ask him! Ask him yourself!

Did you do this?

What's all the commotion about?

Mother!

What happened to you?

What happened to your face?

Did you do this?

How dare a servant's son do this?

You rotten child!

Where did you learn such terrible manners?

Is that how I taught you?

How dare you lay a hand on the master's face?

Apologize right now.

Beg for his forgiveness!

No.

Mother,

I didn't do anything wrong.

There is...

nothing for me to apologize for.

Don't move.

What a shrewd wench.

How dare she interrupt me?

Ouch!

Mother, be gentle.

You brat.

You were supposed to be studying not drinking!

This is why Jun always gets the best of you.

Gosh.

Jun, that punk, he is going to harm us one day.

What?

Jun is saving up money

so that he can buy his mother's freedom.

Once he saves up enough money

he was going to have people buy her freedom for him.

Mother.

Why do you think he's trying so hard to buy his mother's freedom?

He'll set her free and plot something bigger after that.

He's an insolent brute!

-Earlier today... -Ok!

Don't worry about him just focus on your studies.

I'll take care of it.

My lady.

I am truly sorry about what happened today.

It is my fault for not teaching him right.

It's all my fault.

Please forgive me.

All right.

You deserve to be punished for being at fault.

Is anybody there?

Yes, my lady!

Bring the straw mat.

Yes, my lady.

My lady.

My lady!

-Hit her! -Hit her!

How many times do I have to tell you?

You still don't know your place.

Let this be a lesson for you.

Hey.

What are you doing? We have business to do.

Jun.

Jun.

Hey.

Thank goodness you're okay.

I'm so relieved you came back alive.

What happened?

What happened to your face?

Did something happen?

All right, then.

Jun.

Ta-da.

Wait for it. Coming soon.

I added twice the amount of Chinese yams and jujube.

It was hard for me to get my hands on these.

What do you think? Don't you they will sell really well?

Aren't you proud of me?

You smiled. You just smiled.

I saw you. You smiled!

I don't mind some help, you know.

Jun, you smiled.

I saw you.

Did you change your pants?

Hey!

What do you mean?

You only have to change them once a week.

My lord.

There must be a way in.

Find it.

It's this way.

It's this way!

My lord!

Be careful.

It must be somewhere here.

My lord.

I feel the energy here.

My lord.

Do not be frightened! We just entered the area of illusions!

AREA OF ILLUSIONS AN AREA THAT MAKES YOU SEE THINGS

It's a snake!

My lord.

It's this way.

There must be a clue here that will help us lift Yeon-hee's curse.

Let's split up and search the area for it.

It's this way!

This way!

It's this way.

THE BOOK OF CURSES

The Book of Curses.

How do you break the curse?

If we light 108 candles placed on this altar

and pray,

we'll be able to break the curse.

However,

these candles are not ordinary.

What do you mean, my lord?

In order to light these candles,

we need a genuine soul.

What's the matter?

Once we start our prayers,

we must break the curse before the North Star disappears.

If it is not broken until the North Star disappears,

the person trying to break the curse will lose his life.

My lord.

There are five days left before the North Star disappears.

If we all work together and help Yeon-hee,

we'll be able to protect her.

I'll leave it in your good hands.

Please help me save this country and Yeon-hee.

-Yes, my lord. -Yes, my lord.

We must bring her here as soon as possible.

Let's hurry.

I wish...

I could see the world for once.

I can hear the music.

The festivities must be starting soon.

You'll have to see the world for me.

Yeon-hee.

Poong-yeon.

What's the matter?

Let's go, Yeon-hee.

Where are we going?

Don't stay here all alone.

Come with me.

It's your birthday and it only happens once a year.

Let's go.

I can't.

If Father finds out,

he'll punish me.

I'll take the responsibility so don't worry.

And

you can fly this yourself.

That's the only way your wish will come true.

But...

I'll be by your side. Why are you worried?

I will protect you.

Poong-yeon.

It's okay.

Let's go.

Come.

I'll take this.

-Oh, my! -Wow.

You just need to make a wish for it to come true.

What did you wish for?

Well, I...

It's a secret.

If I tell you, it might not come true.

Goodness.

Well, I...

I want

you to live a happy life that is free of obstacles.

I don't want you to see the dirty and painful things of this world.

I only want you to see the beautiful things in life.

When you look at the path behind you,

I hope you see a sweet and lovely path.

Poong-yeon.

What is it?

Do you think

I was born in a place that I shouldn't have been born in?

What do you mean?

I mean

I think that could be true.

That might be why

Father has hidden me deep within the forest.

That's not true.

I don't understand him either

but I know is that he is doing this for your own good.

It feels strange.

What feels strange?

It feels strange to be seeing such a beautiful sight

next to you.

It must be because this is my first time out in the world.

Thank you.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee!

-What are you looking for? -I can't find

that mirror piece I had.

I brought it with me to sell it.

Mirror? What mirror?

Go ahead without me. I'll catch up to you.

Jun, where are you going?

Hey, hurry up.

Sure, let's go.

Where am I?

Why am I here?

Poong-yeon.

Poong-yeon!

Poong-yeon!

Ma'am.

-Ma'am. -Ma'am.

How dare you...

Yeon-hee!

Persimmon Girl.

Why are you here?

Poong-yeon...

-My lord. -We don't have much time.

The walls have been compromised.

Yeon-hee's curse will start manifesting.

You must find her as soon as possible.

Head to the palace and keep an eye on the Crown Prince and Hong-joo.

The rest of you should search the village for Yeon-hee.

I will look for Poong-yeon.

So...

Do you know where you are?

I...

What happened to me?

You must have lost consciousness since you were out in the rain.

Where did you run off to?

Do you know how worried I was?

I'm sorry, Poong-yeon.

Don't blame yourself.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of you.

I should apologize.

What...

is this?

If you get lost again like today, then...

Follow this sound to find me.

I will also follow that sound to find you.

Okay, I will.

Hasn't he returned yet?

There you are.

How did it go?

She's not on the streets.

My lord.

What will happen if Yeon-hee's curse reveals itself in front of others?

What's wrong?

Don't you want to go back?

Poong-yeon.

I'll go alone

from here.

Yeon-hee.

I know the way back.

Let's part ways here.

Give me a moment.

Yeon-hee.

I'm sorry.

I am...

I am just overwhelmed...

about being able to see the world.

Don't worry about me.

I'll make you another kite

when I visit next time.

I'll make one

that flies higher than ever.

Do you understand?

Make sure you stay healthy and well until then.

Let's go.

I will walk you back.

This won't do.

Head to the river by the village.

I'll search the Black Forest.

-Yes, my lord. -Yes, my lord.

Poong-yeon!

Poong-yeon!

Poong-yeon, how dare you do this?

Why did you this?

Mother.

Are you all right?

Pardon?

Poong-yeon.

Are you okay?

Yes, Father.

Where is Yeon-hee?

She went back home.

Father.

-Poong-yeon! -Poong-yeon!

Poong-yeon.

Poong-yeon.

SECRET HEALER

Go away, you monster!

Poong-yeon.

Please spare my mother's life.

Please disappear. I beg you.

Where did you hide the Princess?

That child must live.

-That is... -No!

That is the divine will.

-Whomever the curse passes on to... -Mother!

will fall ill and die within 15 days.

I will hunt her down and kill her.

-No. -It's all because of me.

I would rather end my life.
