SECRET HEALER

SECRET HEALER

I feel like I'm dreaming now.

Does it still feel like a dream?

Yes.

This is a dream.

It's a dream I never want to wake up from.

Jun.

Jun.

What brings you here this early?

-I'm here because... -What is it?

Why are you here again?

This isn't some tavern you can come any time you please.

I told you this is a sacred place.

What is that?

What?

Oh, this is...

This is... Well...

Is that for Master Yo-gwang?

-Is that for me? -No.

No way. Do you think I'm crazy?

It's for me. I'm going to eat it.

Why did you bring that here then?

Did you come to brag about it?

That's right. I came here to brag. Is there something wrong with that?

Why is it wrapped so nicely if you came to brag about it?

These herbs cure wounds.

-Wounds? -Yes.

For instance,

it's good for stab wounds.

Gosh. That quack is a piece of work.

I told him that I have a stomachache.

It's no use to me.

You can take it or throw it away. It's up to you.

I have to get going now.

I don't have a stomachache.

I have a stab wound.

What?

What's wrong with him?

This is for me.

Goodness.

Hey.

Gosh.

If you're so worried, why didn't you ask him how he is?

What was that?

Worried? Me?

Worried about who? Him?

I'm not worried about him at all.

Do you like him?

No. Are you out of your mind?

I like guys that are clean.

Inside and out.

I don't like him. I really don't.

There's nothing wrong with two grown-ups falling in love.

The only thing I love is money.

I hate being a burden to someone else.

What are you doing?

There's someone that needs my help.

Who?

She's someone that grumbles to hide that she's afraid.

Do you want some help?

Have I lost my mind?

Why am I thinking of that loser?

Gosh.

Who is that?

-Who are you? -I...

Well...

Go in quietly.

Go on.

What?

Is he trying to run?

She isn't here yet.

What are you two doing here?

Hi. We have something for you.

For me? What?

What is that?

"Courage potion"?

Are you selling me drugs?

I don't need it.

Come on. Drink this if you want to be with Master Yo-gwang.

-It'll help you. -What? It isn't like that.

I mean it.

Oh my gosh.

Don't drink it if you don't want to.

Do whatever you want.

That's right. I saw that jerk, Ok Heo.

I think he's trying to flee the country because he's wanted.

Shouldn't you catch him?

It's not my business.

I don't have the energy to care about him right now.

Courage potion

"Courage potion."

Jun.

Jun Heo.

Yes?

Do you need something?

If it bothers you that much, you should go.

It's okay.

It's better not to get involved.

What if you regret it?

It will burden you for the rest of your life.

It's time. Come out.

-Yes, sir. -Where are we going?

-Get out. -Let's go.

Take me with you.

What are you doing here?

You...

It's been a while.

You're not fleeing

to the Ming Dynasty, are you?

Someone who knows

what will happen if he gets caught, wouldn't do such a thing.

Right?

So? What will you do?

Will you capture me?

Did you bring the Royal Guards?

Why would I bring the Royal Guards?

If you run,

you will always live in fear

for the rest of your life.

You haven't changed at all.

You're mocking me because I've become so miserable.

What's so great about you?

Miserable?

What do you know about misery?

Don't run like a coward.

Pay for your crimes.

Don't run away.

Admit what you did and pay for what you did.

That

is the only way

you can live like a human being.

I just wanted to live a good life!

Who? What?

What's your problem?

It isn't easy to admit what you've done,

but don't throw away the last chance

that Jun gave you.

Look who's here.

Are you back again?

Do you think this is your home?

Sir.

I have a problem with you.

What are you talking about?

That day...

Why did you grab my hand?

Are you drunk?

When did I do that?

You grabbed my hand when you got stabbed by that scary man.

You grabbed my hand. This one.

I saved you because I was afraid you would get hurt.

So why did you help me?

Why did you hide me behind you

and tell me your problems whenever we met?

I can't stand things like that.

Is this how you treat me when I saved you?

What do you want me to do? Apologize?

Fine. I'm sorry.

I can't believe I grabbed your hand. Oh my gosh.

How could I have done such a thing? I'm sorry.

I am terribly sorry.

Sorry.

It's because you keep doing that...

Keep doing what?

-That's why I... -What?

What?

That's why I like you.

What?

I came to like you.

Darn it.

What? Why?

Don't you worry.

I can't stand being a burden to others,

so I won't bother you.

I came to tell you that.

I won't see you again, so don't worry.

That felt good.

Who said you're a burden?

You're not a bother

and you're not a burden.

So...

don't say you won't see me again.

You can't cut people off that easily.

Come and go

like this is your home.

Gosh. Why is he trying to act so cool?

I don't want to go in.

Obliquity potion

I came to turn myself in.

What did you just say?

I said I came to turn myself in.

There is only one left, Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

There's somewhere I want to take you.

Ta-da!

Do you like it?

It's pretty.

Why did you bring me here all of a sudden?

Let's stay here today.

What did you say?

There is not another soul other than you and me around here.

I like that the most about this place.

Goodness.

What about the last candle?

Don't worry.

I found the person who will light your last candle.

Just for today,

let's forget all about curses and candles.

Let's just focus on you and me.

Can you do that for me?

Hold on.

Try it on. Isn't it pretty?

-Feel free to try some. -Hey.

-Please try some. -Do you want to try it?

You don't want to?

-We'll take this one. -Goodness.

-Look. -Oh, my.

A kite? Shall we buy it?

We will take these as well.

There you are. Thank you.

-Wow. -Make it fly.

It's very strong.

-This one looks stronger. -Come on.

Wow. They are so pretty.

Gosh. I envy the ladies.

You can wear things like these.

Goodness. Look at all of these.

Aren't they just gorgeous?

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

These are so beautiful.

Aren't you hungry? Let's go and cook some food.

This is so exciting.

The bride will now bow to her groom.

The groom will bow in return.

Hey, wait a minute.

Don't you need more water?

It's just right.

I don't think it's the right amount.

-Just do it. -Yes, my lady.

-Fan it harder. -Yes, my lady.

-Don't stop. -Yes, my lady.

Don't fool around.

Move aside. I'll do it.

Harder.

Why don't you give it a go?

You look prettier up close.

Your lips are small.

It looks like us.

Nice.

One, two, three!

Here I go.

-Three! -Here you go.

Three!

Keep some distance.

One, two, three!

What do you mean by a house?

I just want

to be alone with Yeon-hee today

enjoying the peace and serenity together.

Okay, then. I'll look into it.

Well...

About...

About the last candle...

It's...

The candle...

Lord Choi told me

about the last page.

I will light up

Yeon-hee's last candle myself.

Gosh.

Drink slowly. Why are you drinking so fast?

Leave me alone.

I can't help but get drunk tonight.

What's the matter with you?

I resent fate so much.

Is this a cruel trick of fate?

I feel sorry for Seo-ri and I feel worse for Jun.

What is all this?

Goodness.

-Your wound is not healed yet. -My wound?

What? Are you talking about this wound?

Do you know how many times I've been on the verge of death?

Give it to me!

-I want more alcohol! -Keep it down.

I'll fetch it for you.

You should appreciate the life that you were given.

Are you talking to me?

What an unfortunate fate that

one of the two must die.

Everyone is going to die.

Sacrifice potion

This is a Sacrifice potion.

-A Sacrifice potion? -Give it to the man.

By drinking this, his life will end without pain.

This is the only thing that I can do for him.

Relay this message to the one the last candle belongs to.

Tell him not to be too disheartened.

His sacrifice will save hundreds...

No,

thousands of lives.

Excuse me.

Sacrifice potion

Did you come to stop me again?

I've lost all means of killing you.

How would I stop you?

I came today

to tell you something.

I don't want to hear it.

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

I figured you wouldn't know.

How could you?

Lord Choi hid it so that you wouldn't find out.

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

That is what the last page said.

I'm sure Jun Heo is the one who will light your last candle.

He will give up his life for you without hesitation.

Liar.

I'm sure you had a fantasy of being together with him.

What a pity.

I don't believe you.

I'm sure Jun Heo is the one who will light your last candle.

He will give up his life for you without hesitation.

Don't worry.

I found the person who will light your last candle.

Yeon-hee.

Where did you go?

I was worried because you disappeared.

How could you...

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Do you feel sick?

Is it about the candle?

Are you worried about the last candle?

Don't worry.

It'll be lit.

How will it be lit?

By you dying for me?

Yeon-hee.

You should've ran away.

They said you have to die.

You may die because of me.

You should've done whatever it took to run away.

Yeon-hee.

What about me?

How can I live without you?

You said you would do anything for me, right?

Then leave.

That's what I want.

I won't go.

After I met you,

while I was with you,

my biggest fear

was you dying because of me.

So,

please leave.

Poong-yeon.

Father.

I have a favor to ask of you.

If Yeon-hee's curse is broken today,

please hold a ceremony

to burn Hong-joo's body.

If Hong-joo dies,

what happens to you?

That's something to think about

after getting rid of her.

Don't worry about me.

Jun.

There's something I want to do with you.

The bride and groom will bow to each other.

All right.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

-Next... -Hold on.

I forgot one thing.

Wait one moment.

Master.

I wish

I had just one more day

to spend with Jun.

We are now married.

You can't go anywhere now.

I like you a lot,

Yeon-hee.

I like you a lot, too.

I want to walk with you.

Let's go, then.

Yeon-hee doesn't have much time left.

I am sorry,

Jun.

Sacrifice potion

I thought I was the one saving you all this time,

but it was actually you who saved me.

I wanted to be someone who saves the one he loves.

All I wish now is for you to live.

I hope my last wish

is sincere enough to keep you alive.

Jun.

Seo-ri!

Jun!

Seo-ri.

Jun.

Jun!

Yeon-hee.

Jun...

Jun.

I hope you won't suffer too much

and I hope you don't miss me too much.

Yeon-hee.

I will cherish

the days we spent together.

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee!

If we desperately

long for the days we spent together,

we will be able to meet again someday.

Sacrifice potion

Thank you.

I love you, Jun.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Do you take pleasure

in seeing me die?

Are you satisfied?

Do you feel relieved?

The way you are looking at me right now.

I hated it.

"You poor thing.

I feel sorry for you.

Even after all you have been through,

you live without shame.

But...

You need to live. You must live."

Do you think it is all over?

No.

This pain...

This curse...

They won't end just because of my death.

Do you blame me

for what happened to the country?

As long as there are people who claim the throne

saying they were chosen by the divine providence

and people who know nothing but to follow them,

even if 100 or 1,000 years pass,

the people of the country

will suffer in pain

and be cursed until they die.

My Lord.

My...

My...

My Lord...

We

are all cursed.

Are you in pain?

That is the pain you've received

and the pain you've given others.

Hong-joo.

Whatever the reason,

the sins you and I have committed cannot be forgiven.

Take that curse with you.

I will go with you.

Father.

Father!

Father.

Father!

Next.

Here you go.

I am Jun Heo.

What exam are you here to take?

Medicine, sir.

Exam question

You may begin!

-There he is. -He's coming out.

-Jun! -Hey!

Hey!

Why is he out already?

Gosh.

-He doesn't look happy. -He doesn't.

Did you give up already?

Are you okay?

It's okay. Chin up. Be a man. It happens.

Don't be so discouraged about failing one exam.

I'll buy drinks at my bar, so let's live it up tonight.

Sorry, but I have someone to meet tonight.

Let's drink another time.

Well, there's always next year

-and the year after. -Hang in there.

You can take it every year.

Wait a second. Live it up?

We should save every penny. Why are you so generous?

It isn't your bar. It's mine.

-How is it your bar? It's our bar. -You freeloader.

-Wait for me. -I'm going to work.

-You are so annoying. -Come on.

My Lord.

I'm glad you came. I thought I wouldn't see you before I left.

I heard you took the exam for medicine.

Yes. I wanted to keep my promise to Yeon-hee.

Good. I'm sure you did well.

My Lord. We should go.

Must you leave?

I want to go and learn more and help more people.

That is the purpose for the remainder of my life.

Please take care of yourself.

I will.

Let's go!

Your Majesty.

Jun.

That outfit

really does not suit you.

Whatever the case may be, it is nice seeing you again.

Thank you.

I am delighted to see you again as well, Your Majesty.

How did such a big talker become a physician?

There is a book I would like to write before I die.

A book that heals bodies and comforts the souls of people.

A book.

I cannot treat everyone in the world,

but I believe

that one book will help countless people

as it helped me.

Whatever pleases you.

Royal Physician Jun Heo!

I would like to see that book before I die.

Because he distributed rice to the hungry...

40 YEARS LATER

And released the wrongly imprisoned,

everyone in the nation called Kkeok-jeong Im

a righteous man.

-Wow! -Wow!

Yes?

I want to become a righteous man just like Kkeokjeong Im.

Will you practice martial arts as well?

Yes. I need to punish the evil villains.

Yes?

I want to become a physician like you.

How can I become a good physician?

Let's see.

A good physician.

A good physician

is one who looks at the heart

before looking at the body.

-The heart? -Yes.

You must heal

people's hearts in order to be a good physician.

Do you understand?

-Yes! -Yes!

-Do you understand? -Yes!

-Master. -Yes?

THE BOOK OF EASTERN MEDICINE

Master. It is finally finished.

You are amazing.

Master, I have a question.

What is it?

The Book of Eastern Medicine

discusses potions for seeing ghosts and for falling in love

but they are not medicine.

Pharmaceutical drugs are not the only medicine.

Are you ready to go?

Yes, Master.

Then let us be on our way.

THE BOOK OF EASTERN MEDICINE

Let's take a short break.

Yes, Master.

Master, wait right here.

I will draw some water from a creek nearby.
