SECRET HEALER

Yeon-hee.

Poong-yeon.

Go away.

Go away, you monster!

Yeon-hee.

Master.

EPISODE 10

What is the matter?

Your brother doesn't know anything?

Poong-yeon must not find out.

Why?

Tell him the truth and...

What can I say to him?

Shall I confess to him that a curse has turned me into a wicked witch?

Shall I tell him to run away because he could get killed if he's around me?

No one has explained anything to me.

I have no idea why I was born with a curse like this.

What am I supposed to tell him?

I can't force you to do that if you don't want to,

but I'm sure that he would want to hear anything from you no matter what.

You said that you're done with hiding and running away.

I want to see that person again

Master, I'm so glad that both Yeon-hee

and you are okay.

You must have been worried.

There was a reason why we couldn't get in touch with you.

Is that why

Yeon-hee is avoiding me now?

I thought that she couldn't come to me for some reason.

Did she actually run away from me?

You must feel frustrated but we can't tell you why.

Please pretend not to know anything for her sake.

My father has always told me this since I was a kid,

"You cannot see Yeon-hee. Do not ask why."

Whether I should see her and whether I should ask why

is for me to decide.

Thank you for being alive.

Drag all of them out of here!

The news about the armed men at the Hall of Stars

really shocked Her Highness, the Queen Dowager.

She sent the royal guards here

to ensure that the ritual won't be disturbed.

So don't worry about anything and focus on carrying out the ritual.

Her Highness is showing me so much kindness

now that she's on the throne.

I understand.

Let Her Highness know that I'm really grateful for her generosity.

She said she is grateful?

What a wicked witch.

Tell them to keep an eye on Hong-joo

and report to me as soon as they notice anything suspicious.

Yes, Your Highness.

They must be very affectionate towards each other as siblings.

I didn't know that we would meet like this again.

What brought you here?

Well...

By any chance,

is it because of that fellow?

No, I had something to take care of.

How is Father doing?

He is well, right?

Because of me...

What happened that day?

Yeon-hee.

Take your time.

We can meet again tomorrow or some other day

so that you can tell me what happened

from the very beginning.

Understood?

Sir, you were here.

What is the matter?

Something urgent came up. His Majesty has been looking for you since yesterday.

Yeon-hee, let's meet again here tomorrow.

I'll question you about your crimes when I see you again.

I didn't do anything to be interrogated by you, sir.

Poong-yeon.

I'm in a difficult situation, and you're the only person I can trust.

There is something you need to do for me.

I will follow your every command, Your Majesty.

I found out that the Queen Dowager gave birth to a cursed princess.

Apparently, she is the reason for my illness.

You will need to find her to cure my condition

as well as to threaten the Queen Dowager.

Is that what Hong-joo told you?

Why do you ask?

Do you think I'm pathetic to believe a shaman?

Your Majesty. You are letting a shaman's words cloud

your judgement because of your concern for your illness.

I heard that your father

spared the life of the Princess who was supposed to die.

The Mother Shaman approached me using my illness as an excuse

and took up a post at the Hall of Stars.

In addition, your father has persuaded the Queen Dowager

into rebuilding Sogyeokseo.

My father is back?

I am sure they returned to the palace together for a reason.

It must be

because of the Princess.

Poong-yeon.

If my life is in danger,

what would you do?

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to sacrifice my life for you.

I see.

If that is the case, could you also

cut ties with your father for me?

I need to find out if I can trust Hong-joo

as well as if the Princess is still alive.

Do not let your attachment to your father hold you back.

Investigate your father

for this nation and me.

If it turns out to be true,

you must find the Princess and bring her to me secretly.

By the way,

don't you think we still have things to finish?

Gosh, I thought I'd have a showdown with the Red Robe today.

Well, he would have run away if he had run into us anyway.

He totally would have run away.

I also thought I would get to beat him today.

Well, I guess he was just lucky today.

What's that drum sound? Let's go and find out what's happening!

Here is a thief who stole from noblemen!

-Take a good look at her! -Let go!

-Stop resisting. -Go!

-Let go of me! -Come here.

-What are you doing now? -Let go!

This is a thief...

Why are they doing this to the girl?

They are doing a perp walk.

They are dragging offenders along the streets to expose

their crimes and to humiliate them.

I knew she would do something like this.

Let go of me!

Jun...

Seo-ri...

CONTEMPT OF ARISTOCRAT

Untie me. I didn't do anything wrong. Let me go!

Judging from the way she talks, she still hasn't realized her mistake.

You bitch! Goodness.

You all saw that, right?

That wench thinks that noblemen like us are a big joke.

She's disrupting the order between the classes.

I'll drag her along the streets every day

and hang her from this tree

until she reflects on her wrongdoings.

You should consider this as a lesson and follow the code of conduct.

Did I make myself clear?

You evil, worthless lowlife!

Don't make me gut you like a fish!

You better untie me now. Right now!

Goodness. This wench needs a good beating.

Do you think this will make Jun come here?

He won't! Why would he save me when he has nothing to do with me?

If you want to throw bait, do it properly, you idiot.

You all saw that, right?

She's clearly guilty of insulting noblemen.

Killing you right here won't be enough to satisfy me.

I've been patiently and generous with you. I'm resisting the urge to kill you,

but I'm not sure how long my patience can last.

Is he causing all that commotion just to catch you?

-Let's go. -Why is it that the lowlife

just don't know their place?

They only come to their senses when they see their parents suffer.

Where is your mother?

Where are you going? Wait!

What is going on now?

These bastards just don't know their places.

-Can you run? -Of course. I can run very fast.

Get ready, Seo-ri.

Get them! Go!

Stop!

Stop right there!

-Stop right there! -Gosh!

What are you guys doing? Hurry up, you idiots.

-Come on! -Yes, sir.

What was that about? That was dangerous.

I get that you got angry but that was a bad idea.

It's not over yet.

Where did they go?

Where are they?

Don't look. Wait for me over there.

When are you going to stop?

Stop?

I'll only stop when you die.

Listen.

Have you ever put yourself in my shoes in your entire life?

If you hadn't walked around the town, acting all high and mighty,

no one would have compared me to you.

My mother also wouldn't have thought of me as a total fool.

I wouldn't have turned out like this if it hadn't been for you!

Is that why you killed my mother?

-Because I got on your nerves? -What?

Me?

I didn't kill her.

She voluntarily walked into that blazing fire herself.

Hey, think about it.

How can a runaway servant survive?

You're the one who pushed your mother into the flames!

Yes.

You're right.

It was all because of me.

I couldn't protect my mother

because I have no power.

After all,

this is the only thing I can do

to protect myself from you.

You know where we are now, right?

Let's put an end to it right here.

Jun.

Hey, Jun.

Wait. Hold on a second.

Hey, wait. Calm down first.

Think about this again, all right?

Come to your senses, will you?

Jun, think rationally, please?

Hey, I'm your one and only brother.

Come to your senses. Wake up, Jun!

Don't do it!

Please don't do it.

Don't do it, Jun.

Please don't do it.

Sogyeokseo

Father.

Get out of my way!

Mother.

I'm sorry I couldn't be a better son.

I'm sorry I couldn't take your revenge.

I...

I just couldn't kill...

GHOST

How have you been all these years?

I am sorry that I worried you.

There was a reason why I couldn't get in touch.

How is your mother?

She waits for you every single day.

Why didn't you come home first?

I only found out about your return through the news about your post.

I don't feel like I can go home until I complete my job here.

Take good care of your mother.

If anything happens, you must tell me right away.

I was terrified,

thinking that I would never see you again after that day.

Tell me.

Have you seen Yeon-hee?

Yes, I have.

Don't you want to know how she is doing?

-Yeon-hee is... -Do you still feel

the same way about her?

My feelings have changed.

It's no longer the young love I used to have.

I won't ask why she has had to live alone

and what happened in the Black Forest that day.

I will stop questioning.

I don't need to know the reason anymore.

No matter what happens,

I will not let Yeon-hee go ever again.

That thought is the one that keeps me alive since that day.

What if that thought

ends up costing you your life?

Will you stop?

Even death won't be able to stop me.

No one lit the candle, but it has been lit.

I must meet with the Princess as soon as possible.

Gosh.

My arms.

Gosh, this hurts.

Are you really going to be okay?

Well,

I'm not okay, so how about

you give me 300 nyang?

Don't mind me unless you're willing to give me 300 nyang.

You have company now, too.

I don't want to be involved anymore in your dirty business,

so count me out.

What?

What did you say? Dirty?

Why were you looking at me?

He's really malicious.

Do you have a place where you can hide from him?

-If not, you should come... -Hold on a second.

What are you suggesting?

You cannot stay with us. Never.

I mean, our place isn't a charity hospital like Hwalinseo.

How dare you treat me like a beggar!

I hope you know that your ugly hair makes you look like one.

What did you say?

-A beggar? -Sir.

What? What do you want?

I may swindle people but I never burden anybody.

So what?

Just relax already.

-You're being rude to me. -Hey, Jun.

If you're in a bind and really need my help,

go to the tavern in Banchon and ask the bartender about me.

Get a large amount of money ready because I'm expensive.

-All right. -I'll get going, then.

That tiny girl is so rude.

Let's go.

Wait up!

Mother.

Mother.

My son.

No.

You're not the Crown Prince. You're just a ghost.

Go away.

Mother.

Please save me.

Save me.

Mother.

Please help me.

Please.

Mother.

I'm suffering.

Please save me.

You witch. What is this fuss about now?

Stop it, you devil!

I thought that you don't need the Crown Prince.

I will no longer tolerate you mocking the royal family.

So, did you join hands with Lord Hyun-seo Choi to stop me?

Did you send your soldiers to lock me up

to find the Princess?

Prince Soon-hoe!

Stop it immediately!

Prince Soon-hoe.

Prince Soon-hoe.

You abandoned the Crown Prince and chose the Princess over him!

Do not let her trickery get to you, Your Highness.

You better not come near me

unless you're going to side with me.

Mother!

Mother, please help me.

Please, Mother.

Please, Mother. Please stop this pain.

Stop!

Are you going to continue to get in my way?

Do not let her shake you up, Your Highness!

Prince Soon-hoe!

Do it.

Do you want the Crown Prince's soul to wander around?

I am grateful that you're giving me what you consider

as important as your life.

I lost.

What if you end up making the Crown Prince drift around

in the middle of nowhere for hundreds and thousands of years?

What if the guilt makes you take your own life?

That's why, I should destroy this with my own hands.

I will do as you say.

I will dismiss the royal guards and release your apprentices.

So don't do this.

Please.

If Lord Choi had killed the Princess,

the horrible tragedy would never have happened.

Please think carefully who is trying to revive the Crown Prince

and who is trying to

stop that.

The candle is lit, right?

How did it light itself?

By any chance, did you grant someone else's wish without telling me?

GHOST

There is someone who drank one of my potions.

What?

Goodness.

I knew it from your extraordinary appearance.

Get away from me.

Thanks to you, the candle has been lit.

What?

Now, we can light the candles even without the wish tablets.

That's amazing.

Are you happy, too?

Yes, I'm glad I could help.

Now, the question is how we will receive people's wishes.

It's not like we can visit them individually.

Could we worry about it a little later?

I'm just so happy right now.

Investigate your father.

He spared the life of the Princess who was supposed to die.

If it turns out to be true,

you must find the Princess and bring her to me secretly.

49th of the sexagenary cycle 48th of the sexagenary cycle

26th of the sexagenary cycle

His Majesty was born on the Day of the Ox at 4 a.m.

The Crown Prince was born on the Day of the Snake at 4 a.m.

The energies of the Snake, Rooster and Ox form a harmonious trinity,

and so do the Tiger, Horse and Dog.

Their spirits and energies

are destined to come together on the Day of the Rooster at 8 p.m.

This is it.

This is what you've been planning, Hong-joo.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

Where are you going?

Oh, Seo-ri.

I'm going to check out Taeiljeon.

I have no idea what we're supposed to do

to illuminate people's true spirits.

I'll go and see if I can find anything that could help us.

Master.

When I meet Poong-yeon today,

I'll bring him here.

Here?

Take a look.

Take a look at this hair ornament.

Thank you.

Have a look at this, sir.

I don't know what to get. Choose one for me.

I would like this one, please.

Do you want it?

No, sir. It's of no use for me.

I handpicked the best fabrics and colors for these dresses.

What do you think? Please have a look.

What are the measurements of the lady who will wear it?

Oh, the measurements.

You can use her measurements.

I see, that would be no problem. Please come this way.

Come in. Come on in.

All right, let me see. Please give me a moment.

Great.

I told you that I'm meeting Poong-yeon today.

Why are you saying all of a sudden that you can't go out?

Well, it's because...

It's embarrassing to say,

but I can't go out because I'm terrified of ghosts.

Baby ghosts, bachelor ghosts, and spirits of those who was burned to death.

The scariest of all

is the virgin ghost.

You said yesterday that the ghost-seeing potion is wearing off.

Gosh, why is my stomach aching all of a sudden?

Goodness, I'm in pain.

What are you doing now?

I helped you once,

so it's now your turn to help me. Don't you think so?

Gosh, all right. Fine.

If that's the case, do me a favor, please?

Speak to me casually, like you used to.

We're not that close.

You're always like that. You just use me whenever you need me.

Just get ready, okay?

Master.

Where are you going now?

Oh, right.

Wait for me here. I'll go and pick up the dress.

Yes, all right.

Sol-gae.

You will get to use this one day.

All right.

It's all ready now.

Try it on to make sure it fits.

Pardon?

-You should try it on. -No, it's okay.

Come on. Hurry up.

This shows the birth charts of His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

Their charts exhibit remarkable compatibility between them.

This must be why Hong-joo approached His Majesty.

I saw the Crown Prince in His Majesty's body.

Hong-joo told me that she will make him ascend to the throne.

She's probably aiming for the throne herself.

There's something she must do in order to achieve her goal.

What is it?

She will make the Crown Prince

kill the Princess.

What do you mean?

Why does he have to kill the Princess?

Only the Crown Prince can kill her because he's her twin sibling.

That will make the Princess' curse befall the entire royal family.

Why do my children have to suffer such tragedy?

Why does Prince Soon-hoe have to go through that even when he's dead?

Poor Prince Soon-hoe.

My poor son.

Their energies will form the perfect harmony

on the Day of the Rooster at 8 p.m.

She will try to bring the Princess to the Palace before that.

Then what should we do now?

There wouldn't be anything I could do.

We need to stop her.

Will you be able to do it

in your current state?

It wasn't anything serious.

I cannot tell you at the moment,

there is someone who will give his life for the princess.

He will break her curse.

Please make that happen.

When we find the Princess,

I'll carry out a ritual at the Hall of Stars to wash away the curse.

Please allow me to work on your body during the ritual.

What do you mean by that exactly?

I must expel the evil energy from your body.

You could think of it as taking a nap when the ritual being carried out.

Your illness will be gone when you open your eyes.

You will feel reborn.

Will that really stop

this constant pain?

Yes. That is correct, Your Majesty.

Sogyeokseo Taeiljeon 1 o'clock

Lord Choi!

Lord Choi.

Lord Choi.

Yo-gwang.

Are you okay?

I thought something terrible had happened to you.

Thank you for keeping Yeon-hee safe during all these years.

No, please don't mention it.

The ritual boundary at the temple broke because I was distracted.

It's not your fault.

You knew about the ritual boundary being compromised?

-I did it. -Pardon?

That man is acting as a protective boundary for Yeon-hee, isn't he?

You saw them?

I'm not sure how, but he has the symbol of the Book of Taoism.

I get the feeling that luck will come.

Yo-gwang, there is something you have to do for me.

Are you going to keep being like that?

What did I do?

Don't mind me. As you said, we're not even that close.

Shall I make rice balls for you later?

What?

Eating something tasty always puts people in a better mood.

Will something sweet be better?

Why are you being nice to me all of a sudden?

Then, let me think...

How about the sweet rice drink?

Thinking about food is making you feel better, right?

Yes, you're right. I feel great.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee!

Hong-joo is near Chungbing Temple now, so she will find Yeon-hee soon.

Then what should we do now?

Separate Yeon-hee from that man

who acts as her protective boundary in front of Poong-yeon.

-Pardon? -Make Poong-yeon

see the curse put on Yeon-hee in front of his own eyes.

If his feelings don't change even after witnessing the curse,

then he would be the last person who can dispel the wicked spell on her.

Jun.

Jun!

Yeon-hee.

Poong-yeon.

True love is the only thing that can light the last candle.

I hid her from you to protect you.

But if this is your fate,

I can no longer go against it.

I will

lead you to the path to death.

What are you doing here?

Why are you at a place like this?

Come with me.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee!

It's been a long time.

I guess you haven't forgotten about me.

SECRET HEALER

Where did Yeon-hee go?

Tell me why!

Please wait just a little while.

You will meet your sister soon.

-Seo-ri! -We meet again.

So I can't lift the curse no matter how hard I try?

I don't care about your curse or your white hair.

To me, you're just Yeon-hee.

Leave with me. I'll protect you.

Things won't go according to your plan.

So, why were you born?

Nobody wanted you.

If he still loves her even after witnessing the curse...

Yeon-hee!

Then he's the only person who can lift the curse.
