[Episode 9]
My home exists...
in the world 150 years from now.
But one day, I woke up to find myself here.
I know it's hard to believe.
Even I can't believe myself saying this.
No.
I believe your words.
From not just your mysterious medicine,
but also from your attire and belongings I had seen,
I knew there must be some hard story to tell.
Then, Mina,
whom you said I resembled...
Is she your lover you left behind in that world?
She is.
That's why you wanted to go back?
Yes.
Do you know how to go back?
No.
I don't know.
Then...
I don't think I should stay here any longer.
I don't want to get others into trouble because of me.
Don't talk that nonsense.
You have saved so many lives.
Did you forget that?
I don't know if I am doing the right thing. Well,
why I happened to be here from the start...
I just don't know.
There must be some reason why you came to this world.
Perhaps,
you were sent here to save those who should be saved.
Suffering from a high fever,
I cursed my body.
My own body gave me only pains...
I was very scared and resentful.
It was only after that...
that I could understand the sick.
They must've been as scared and desperate as I was.
Helping the hands of a doctor in such a time like that
is more precious than anything else.
We need you in this world.
So please,
don't leave us.
Your Highness,
your disloyal servant deserves your reproach
...for having failed to seek your audience.
Have you been well, Prince Heung Seon?
Seeing you in such good health, my pleasure is beyond compare.
This humble servant has been looking forward to your presence.
The presence of this old, toothless woman? Why?
Life in the palace must be lonesome.
Thus I would like to keep company with you.
That is the life in palace.
Isn't it the fate of a woman married into the Royal family?
These days, I spend my time in reading
and enjoy the clowns at circus in my court.
The Queen Dowager, the eldest person in this nation,
cannot withdraw from state affairs and spend time like that.
This humble servant is indignant at the way you are treated.
Prince Heung Seon.
Yes.
This old woman has no power.
If you are seeking a position or a reward.
visit the Left State Councilor.
Your Highness, that is absurd.
That flavored rice is sweet.
As I am getting old, I crave for more sweet treats.
You should try some.
By the way, Professor Lee told me
that you know a skilled doctor.
Why didn't you come with him?
Is there anywhere you don't feel well?
As I'm getting old, I'm losing my strength.
Medicines the royal physician prescribed do not help a lot.
If the doctor you know is that skilled,
I want to have him feel my pulse.
Then, this servant will be in your presence again with that doctor.
Was the palace this small?
What? Prince Heung Seon?
Yes, Father.
What conversation did they have?
I have no idea. I only heard that he would visit her again.
Could they discuss about a royal successor?
That is impossible.
She rarely opens her heart.
Although the matter is urgent since the King is indisposed and has no heir,
she wouldn't discuss it with an estranged royal kinsman...
knowing her nature.
But who is the Queen Dowager?
The king is wasting away.
The King is debilitated day by day. If, all of a sudden,
demise befalls upon him...
She will come forward to decide on a successor, using her authority.
Anyways, this is all because of Doctor Jin's medical skills.
I should've cut down both Prince Heung Seon and him.
What are you talking about?
Pardon me?
Nothing, Father.
Don't forge a reckless scheme again without my acknowledgment.
Do you understand?
Yes, Father.
I heard Prince Heung Seon had an audience with the Queen Dowager.
It's obvious that he'll be accompanied by Doctor Jin.
Are you going to just sit back and watch?
What can I do?
My father has to decide what to do.
That's why you should've slain them without failure!
Are you blaming me?
I shouldn't have listened to you. I was almost rebuked by my father.
Anyways, we shouldn't leave them alone.
No, we shouldn't.
We need you in this world.
So please,
don't leave us.
Where have you been?
I've been looking for you.
When did you make all these?
If I was neither smart nor skillful, I should've quit this job.
I came from a different world,
from the distant future.
Is the person you said I resembled...
your lover you left behind in that world?
Yes.
[Young Rae]
What is on your mind early this morning?
You're not completely recovered yet.
Why do you look so worried?
My lady.
My lord.
Please do not forgive me.
What are you trying to say?
I cannot...
proceed with our nuptials.
Well, that was it.
I have heard about this.
That when the nuptial date gets nearer,
the bride has many kinds of thoughts.
They say there are brides unwilling to get married just like you.
It is not that.
Since I knew you cherished me
and our marriage was set by our parents,
I was going to obey but...
I cannot.
Stop!
What's the reason?
Is it because you couldn't forgive my family
since we ruined the Southern faction?
It is not that.
Then, you couldn't possibly marry this offspring of a concubine?
My lord.
Then, is it because of Doctor Jin?
No.
My heart just says no.
My heart doesn't have feelings for you.
So...
I'm not sure if I can be happy.
I think that getting married with this heart...
would be a grave sin.
So please,
discard this woman.
It would've been better
if you disliked me because of my birth!
Then I could rather resent you and leave.
My sin against you deserves death.
You killed me first,
with your tongue, with such words.
Leave us alone.
You are bleeding.
Yes,
I am bleeding.
Please wait a moment.
Did you say, "Only a woman can understand a woman"?
Answer.
How can I win the heart of a woman?
With money?
Or with power?
Is there any problem with your nuptials?
Just answer to my question.
It will run away when wealth or power has run out.
Only affection can secure the heart of a woman.
Is that truly so?
I've felt affection for her for 20 years. Yet, it is not enough?
If I held you in my arms tonight,
will you be inclined to love me?
You may win my body but not my heart.
How venomous and treacherous...
a woman's heart is.
You two are not meant for each other.
It was destined from the beginning.
That's a good fortune.
I'll pay your fee for telling my fortune later.
I hate the very sight of you. Get out.
Mother, please calm down.
Young Hwi, you heard her too.
She broke up our marriage talks!
Should I calm down? Should I forgive her?
Young Rae, tell her it's not true.
Now.
I...
I will not marry.
Young Rae, you...
Please understand me, Mother.
I don't want to hear you. Just get out of my house!
I'll live as if I didn't have a child like you. Get out!
If you don't get out, then I'll leave.
Mother, please calm down.
I can't put up with this.
Mother. Mother.
Mother, are you alright?
I really can't put up with her anymore.
Kick her out.
If you don't want to see me die, just kick her out.
The Queen Dowager?
Because of her graciousness, she summoned you to her presence.
I think she will reward you for having cured her niece.
But I...
Why?
Is it because of court etiquette?
You just copy me on that.
When she says something, reply with either one of these.
Your grace is immeasurable, or "Inscrutable are your favors."
Since she said she felt indisposed,
let's proceed to court with me and take a look.
That's the only reason?
There's no other purpose?
Do you see my true intention?
Since you do, I will make it short.
I need you.
I don't want to get involved.
That is your business.
No. Now it is your business, too.
Do you know who was behind the assassins seeking our lives last night?
It's Dae Gyun Kim and his clan.
You've also reached the point of no return.
With our circumstances now, we need power.
The power to contend the Kims of Andong.
The Queen Dowager is the only person who can keep them in check.
You really don't know what it means to have her support?
But sir...
The village in Tomag was burnt to ashes.
And Ke Hyang killed herself by biting off her tongue.
How many more wrongful deaths should we suffer under the Kim's rule?
Please help.
I'm sorry.
I'm a mere doctor. And as a doctor,
I just want to focus on my job.
Doctor Jin!
Doctor Jin, come out.
Doctor Jin.
I'm sorry.
Do you mind if I join you guys?
If I can discard and organize some things,
I think I can make a space for me.
Go back.
Apologize that you were wrong and proceed with nuptials.
No.
Miss.
I don't want to live as plain, ordinary woman.
I want to learn medical skills.
I want to live a life, healing the sick and feeding the hungry.
Please help me to walk on that path.
But...
If you don't receive me, I will go to another doctor.
Miss.
I've chosen this path.
My Lord, this is your servant.
Come in.
What is it?
With all due respect, I'd like to break off my nuptials.
What?
I made up my mind not to proceed with it.
Why?
When you want to cancel the nuptials you yourself requested,
there must be some reasons.
Becoming in-laws with the fallen family of Southern faction
would be a burden on you, My Lord.
If it may cause any adverse effect on you and the family,
I believe I should reverse the decision as we speak.
Did you tell her of your decision?
Yes.
It was rash of you.
Marriage is a major life event you shouldn't upset at your will.
Please forgive me.
However, there are piles of problems to deal with.
I'd like to focus on my duty as police commander.
No! Don't drag him off!
On what charge do you arrest my husband?
Charges?
He traded prohibited goods.
What's the matter with you? It's not me.
He is a suspected member of Mumyonggye.
I'm innocent! I didn't do anything wrong!
Please believe me, sir!
Please believe me, sir! Please!
Lady Young Rae stays in the infirmary.
Why do you say that to me?
I thought you might be worried about her.
What a meddlesome fellow.
No matter how trivial it is, arrest anyone who offended national law.
Yes!
Do not show mercy or give them slack.
If you do, you shall be punished. Got that?
Yes!
Let's go!
So this is a stethoscope?
Yes. To make this,
I managed to coax merchants from Qing
to get what is called "rubber."
I'll explain how to use it.
Let's see. Put this part into the ear and...
Oh, Doctor Jin!
Is it right to hold this to the ear?
Give me.
Place these into your ears.
Right. That's how we use it.
And place this on the chest.
They came again.
Let's go prescribe medicine.
Would you like to hear it yourself?
Place them into your ears.
And put this on the lower chest.
Can you hear it?
Yes, I can.
Is this also from the future?
Yes.
What kind of a world is the future?
There must be a lot of marvelous things like this.
I guess there is no sick person or incurable person in the future.
Suction!
Abnormal bleeding. Seems somewhere in the artery burst.
Keep on doing suction!
Even in the future, medicine cannot save everybody.
Mina...
What is she like?
Sorry. I shouldn't have asked that.
What's the matter?
My father died from the medicine you prescribed.
What?
My son died, too.
After taking "peni" something, he died that night.
That's impossible.
Bring him back.
Bring back my son who died from your quack medicine!
There must be some misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
You said the medicine could save him,
but it was in fact poison!
Wait. Wait!
What's going on?
Sir, you've come at the right time.
They sold quack medicine and my family had wrongful deaths.
Is that so?
No. There must be some misunderstanding.
Take these doctors to the police bureau!
My lord.
Now!
Yes! Take them!
Yes!
It's not true!
Oh, Doctor.
My lord.
This is a slander. The doctors are innocent.
We'll see whether they are innocent or not.
But you're well aware of Doctor Jin's medical skills.
His medical skills are no concern of mine.
My only duty is to see if he is guilty or not.
Is it because of me?
Lady, let me ask you a favor for old times' sake.
Please don't humiliate me any more with such words.
We are falsely charged.
Royal Physician, you do know how hard we work for the patients.
So what did I tell you?
I told you not to make such medicine from an unreliable source.
There is no problem with the medicine.
How dare!
How dare you make excuses!
There are people who died from your medicine!
Let them in.
Go to hell!
Because of your medicine, my father passed away!
What about my healthy son's death?
Bring my son back, you bastards!
I'm so bitter and resentful!
I've never seen them before.
How could I dare tell a lie before the Ministry of Justice?
Do you remember them?
I don't know them either.
How about you?
Haven't you prescribed medicine to them?
Well...
Answer the truth!
If you tell a lie, you won't be safe.
I remember them.
They all picked up the medicine from us.
Ik Joo.
They told me to answer the truth.
But there must be a different reason.
The medicine can't be the reason.
What more should we listen?
Please impose a sentence.
Your crime of making poisonous medicine,
and thus taking the lives of numerous people is heinous.
Thus, I order to give each of them 10 floggings.
Also, collect the medicine and burn it.
Yes!
And...
The public infirmary responsible for the current confusion...
shall be shut down as of today!
Nine!
Mother, Mother!
Ten!
Next!
This is a trap.
All right.
Complain to the flogging.
Give him flogging.
Yes!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
How did you know I needed alcohol tonight?
Did you steal a peek into my heart?
I think it's for the better.
I was reluctant to advance our cause with the Queen Dowager behind us.
How insouciant of you to say that.
We can't fight the State Councilor and his party with our men alone.
Without the Queen Dowager's support, we are nothing.
If there's no other way,
let's just slay them all.
Unlike your appearance, your talk is vicious.
You know...
there is something I've wanted to ask you about.
How did you know the assassins sought my life that night?
And it seems you know what men in power keep in their houses...
like the back of your hand.
I guess you have quite a good spy.
You want to know about that?
Will you tell me?
In fact, that's the reason why I wanted to see you tonight.
We're having an important discussion.
Come in later.
Don't say she is...
the spy of Mumyonggye.
How do you do?
My name is Choon Hong.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Why did you do that?
Helping Mumyonggye is risking your own life.
How did you become...
Did you forget?
What are you doing?
Just one cup of wine. Come on.
Goodness!
I nearly had a heart attack.
Did you get caned because you didn't play Gayageum?
What's the use of learning it? I won't become a courtesan.
Please take me out of here. Please?
You think the world outside is a bed of roses?
It will be even harsher on a girl like you.
Then what should I do?
Now that it's come to this,
if I were you, I would do my best to become the top courtesan.
Then,
you'll be able to make a toy of a man who has the world under his thumb.
It would be same as having the whole world.
Become the best. Here.
What is your name?
Choon Hong.
Scarlet spring flower.
Good name.
So, since that day, I had cultivated my talents
and I became the best courtesan as you said.
You have a good memory.
Since then I made a resolution.
โI will become a woman that moves Joseon.'
โTo do so, I must find a man to rise to the top in Joseon.'
I will help you.
Please rise to the top in Joseon.
How can I rise to the top?
Win the Queen Dowager to your side as soon as possible.
Also, you'll need Doctor Jin's help.
Did you hear of it?
The public infirmary will be shut down.
Doctor Jin.
I can't believe this. They can't do this.
Regain your health first, so that...
Doctor Jin.
What brought you here in that state?
Sir, please allow us to reopen the infirmary
and to produce medicine again.
There is no one but you I can ask for help.
Do you remember what I told you the other day?
I said, just because you saved my life...
doesn't mean you can disobey me.
Sir.
Even if you try your damnedest for the lowly people,
nothing will change.
How can a wise doctor like you not know that?
Give my regards to Prince Heung Seon.
You may leave.
Don't bother His Excellency again.
Next time, instead of getting flogged, you'll be decapitated.
Doctor Jin!
Hey!
Seems you made the trip for nothing.
That's who the Left State Councilor is.
Everybody's corrupt.
They are sick and festered...
but they don't even know they are dying.
If they knew it, this nation wouldn't have become like this.
Let's go right tomorrow.
To where?
Let's go visit the Queen Dowager.
Sir, I already made myself clear about...
You don't want to reopen the infirmary?
She is the only person that can resolve this matter.
Gird up your loins.
Finding favor with the Queen Dowager is the only way to save the infirmary.
Think this is for you and the infirmary, not for me.
Free the way.
We are to visit the Queen Dowager.
You cannot.
How dare!
We were summoned by the Queen Dowager!
We are under orders to forbid royal kinsmen to enter the palace.
What?
Get out of the way.
I must see Her Highness in person and...
Sir.
If you keep insisting, we will deal with you sternly by national law.
Are you okay?
It's the Left State Councilor.
Sorry?
Byung Hee Kim already took actions.
Young Rae!
Isn't there any word from the Queen Dowager?
โNo royal kinsmen' orders were already issued. What could she do?
That's the will of the Left State Councilor. But if Her Highness orders to...
There are eyes and ears of the Councilor in the palace.
Things are not as easy as you think.
Have you been well?
We came here by the summon of the Queen Dowager.
We were expecting you. Go on in.
Thank you. Let's go.
The palace even open to acrobats is shut only to royal kinsmen.
Wait.
It is shut only to royal kinsmen, huh?
What are you saying?
If acrobats can enter the palace, why can't a doctor enter?
Don't you think so?
Sorry?
You mean I should go alone?
Your performance always amuses me.
I had them bring in wine and some eatables. Relieve your thirst.
Unfathomable is your grace, Your Highness.
I brought the doctor I told you about the other day.
Queen Dowager Cho,
a representative figure of the Chos of Poongyang.
Along with Prince Heung Seon,
she tore down the political reign of the Kims of Andong.
She's another key figure during the late Joseon Dynasty.
He is renowned for both his medical skills and the medicine he made.
So it is the new medicine never existed in history?
That is right.
It will be of your benefit if you keep this doctor near.
Then why did people die from that medicine?
Your Highness, the Royal Physician is here.
Let him in.
Your Highness, did you look for me?
Since Professor Lee told me a different story from yours,
I summoned you to distinguish between right and wrong.
The fact that the medicine made in the infirmary harmed people
was already verified at the police bureau.
Thus they forbade the production of that medicine
and ordered the closure of the infirmary.
Is there anything incorrect in his statement?
There are patients the medicine cured.
If there's a problem with the medicine,
I wouldn't have prescribed it from the beginning.
As you know, my wife was also...
There are occasions that the wound is healed naturally.
In that case, it's rather by the grace of heaven, not by medicine.
But Royal Physician,
Yes, Your Highness.
When you saw the lump on my niece's neck,
you said there was no cure.
I heard that Doctor Jin removed it without a trace.
But his medicine is of unreliable source.
I'm greatly concerned
that his black magic might deceive you and damage the royal dignity.
I can understand your concern.
Did you listen?
Your Highness.
Since the royal court clinic and the police bureau stand to sense,
I had better not mention this matter again.
You may leave now.
It seems you have lots of free time, Professor Lee.
I beg your pardon?
Why do you dance to Prince Heung Seon's tune
...and confuse the Queen Dowager?
Did he say nothing would be impossible if you brought him to her presence?
Royal Physician!
There is trouble.
I'm dying.
My belly hurts.
What is the matter?
My stomach... I have writhing pain in my stomach.
Be quiet.
What the fuss with mere acute indigestion?
Take him outside of the palace.
Sir, please save me. I'm dying.
Why are you just standing there? Drag him outside.
Hold on.
His abs muscles are as rigid as a board.
It's muscular rigidity.
Since when were you like this?
Since a few days ago...
The pit of the stomach has been hurting me.
What is this commotion?
It is nothing. I think he has a mild stomachache.
He was all right a while ago. A stomachache?
Lie on your side.
The sound is different?
What sound is different?
When the stomach is perforated, air vents itself to the abdominal cavity.
Then the sound can change depending on his posture.
Have you felt pain in the upper belly like tingling?
Yes, yes. I have.
I have had sharp griping pains here.
Patients with acute gastroenteritis show such symptoms, Your Highness.
Is what the Royal Physician said true?
This is not a simple stomachache.
I think he has a gastric ulcer perforation.
What?
It's an illness that occurs when stomach contents outflow
...through a hole in the stomach wall.
Do you know that by touching him?
Yes. If left untreated, he could die of peritonitis.
Your Highness,
please you do not have to listen to him.
It is acute indigestion.
If we prick his finger with a needle and...
We already pricked his finger but he showed no improvement.
Then, do you know the cure for this illness?
I do.
I should open his belly and close up the hole in the stomach wall.
What?
Who is Kwang Hur?
It's me.
Honor the order of the Queen Dowager
...to come to the palace with surgical instruments.
What?
Lady Young Rae Hong is also summoned to her presence.
Did you bring everything necessary?
I did but...
Good gracious! In the presence of the Queen Dowager?
Lady.
The fate of the infirmary depends on this surgery.
You must succeed.
Before we put you under anesthetics, we will remove the stomach contents.
Don't be nervous.
I can't believe he'll cut open the belly in the solemn palace.
If the patient dies, it would be the greatest shame.
Please withdraw your orders now.
Do you expect the patient to die?
Of course not.
It is because Doctor Jin's medicine is extremely disgraceful.
I heard that his disgraceful medicine saved the Left State Councilor.
Oh, you were there, weren't you?
If the patient dies in the palace,
the royal court clinic would have to charge his black magic.
Are you implying that I will be in trouble as well?
How could I dare to imply that, Your Highness.
Let's wait and see
if he is a real doctor or a black magician.
We've removed the contents.
Lie down.
Anesthetics?
It's ready.
We'll put him under anesthetics.
Wait.
Your Highness, I really cannot do this.
Please save my life, Your Highness.
He said he would save your life.
Right. You should get surgery to live.
Nonsense.
If you cut me open, I'm gonna die.
If I die, will you take responsibility?
I can't trust you.
No, I can't go under the knife.
What about tightrope walking?
If you fall off the rope, you can get severely injured or even die.
You do such a dangerous performance with ease,
but you're scared of this surgery?
I'm not an acrobat but I have my own skills.
Don't worry.
I will save your life.
Also, the fate of the infirmary and many lives depend on your life.
I must save you.
You must save him.
If not, you shall not avoid punishment for taking his life with evil tricks.
Yes.
Then I'll begin.
There it is!
Gastroparietal ulcer perforation.
The size is quite big.
Now, we will close up the hole.
We will connect the stomach wall and the greater omentum and fix them.
Then the hole will be closed up?
Yes.
Let's hurry.
Did you say Prince Heung Seon is outside of the palace?
Yes, Your Highness.
Let him come in to my abode.
Yes, Your Highness.
But Your Highness, having royal kinsmen come in to the palace is...
What is the reason of not allowing royal kinsmen's entry?
Isn't it to avoid disputes over a royal successor?
That is right.
Then there should be no problem.
I'm calling him in to give him a word of praise.
Have you been well, Your Highness?
You were right. He is indeed an excellent doctor.
Inscrutable are your favors!
That acrobat is a talented man whose only performance I take delight in.
Without your medicine, I would've been grieved over the loss of a friend.
I'm deeply grateful for your words.
Apparently, she must be of noble family.
Where did you learn medical skills?
I only picked up a few from Doctor Jin.
My skills are nothing great.
How commendable.
Unfathomable is your grace, Your Highness.
Judging by his medical skills,
I'm sure the medicine he made is also effective.
If people died after taking the medicine, there could be other reasons.
But the police bureau has already...
Are you a police commander?
Why do you bring up "police" every time?
I will withdraw the order to shut down the infirmary.
Go back and do your best in saving the people.
Inscrutable are your favors, Your Highness.
In order to return your great favor, I have one request to make of you.
Go ahead and tell me.
In celebration of your birthday, I would like to hold a magnificent banquet.
Banquet?
This old woman's growing a year older is nothing to celebrate.
It is not that, Your Highness.
Through the banquet, your health and peace should be congratulated,
and above all else,
the undiminished authority of the Royal family
...shall be shown to the whole nation.
But...
Please trust this servant and leave the matter to me.
I will exert myself to the utmost to prepare a magnificent banquet.
Your medical skills I've heard about is quite true.
I will withdraw the orders to close down the infirmary.
Then she looked at me and said,
You are indeed a descendant of Doctor Joon Hur.
That's a lie.
Hey, it's true.
Anyways, now that she issued orders,
we can work in peace.
Patients will crowd from tomorrow.
Thank you. We owe you one.
What are you talking about?
It's you who did the operation.
It seems the Queen Dowager was greatly pleased.
Why yes!
If the banquet is held in success,
I will have her trust in me.
Well, since I have many irons in the fire,
I think I should leave now.
Sir.
Yes?
No. Never mind.
What is it you were going to say?
Everything will go well. Just...
don't lose your heart toward the people.
Banquet? Prince Heung Seon said that?
He suggested a magnificent banquet inviting royal vassals to scholars.
On top, he said he would invite royal kinsmen as well.
So with an excuse of the banquet,
he intends to show off the dignity of the Royal family.
By the way, since she nullified orders to shut down the infirmary,
you and our clan have egg on our faces.
What is worse, Prince Heung Seon received permission to enter the palace anytime.
Ugh!
To hold a magnificent banquet, he'll need lots of money and preparations.
By any means, the royal family is all flash, no content.
They don't have money to throw a feast.
That's right!
We can have the Ministry of Finance tighten the purse strings.
Prince Heung Seon boasted that he would cover the cost.
What? Prince Heung Seon?
He doesn't even have money to put food on his table.
Exactly.
You have to pay back by the 1st of next month.
Overdue interest will be snowballing.
Just keep that in mind.
Sir!
I can hear the clink of coins in your money pouch.
This work really brings in a good income.
Patrons here spend money quite liberally.
Do it carefully.
There are still title deeds and land registries to squeeze out of them.
Don't worry.
I will wheedle them and screw them for over times.
Let me see the ledger.
Sure. If you look at this...
What the heck is on your mind?
What are you talking about out of the blue?
I heard that you would arrange the banquet for the Queen Dowager.
Is it true?
Have a seat.
With that money, we can feed hundreds, thousands of hungry people.
In this situation, is all you can think about...
currying favor with the old woman in the palace?
Watch your language!
Is this what you call your ideal Joseon?
Answer me.
The outcome of the test is getting better.
Yes. If things go on like this, we can make enough medicines.
We have not suffered in vain.
By the way, you are not going to go home?
How can this unfilial daughter face her mother?
I'll just to have to wait till her anger subsides.
I'm sorry.
I have to bear with it since it was my choice
It has nothing to do with you.
Lady Young Rae! Lady Young Rae!
Boon Nim, what brings you here?
My Lady, your mother was...
What about my mother?
Stop crying and tell me.
She collapsed all of a sudden.
Did you ask if this is my ideal Joseon?
Money without power is like a house built on the sand.
And power without money is like a paper tiger!
I will have both of them.
After you secure them both, what will you do next?
Myongbok, my son,
I will make him the king.

How about consulting Doctor Jin?
I said there's no need!
Madam!
Mother!
Madam, are you okay?
If you lay a finger on me, I will not forgive you.
Where have you been?
I will not go to school again.
From now on, you should not neglect your study.
Do you understand?
This is for the sake of all the people, not just myself.
How long are we going to take it lying down?
We shouldn't leave the Left State Councilor alone.
Are you telling me to kill the father of my best friend?
After sending him to the next world, let's meet there.
I brought everything you told me to prepare.
What are you going to make this time?
A new medicine?
Kind of.
How do we make it?
I'm not sure if I can make it.
It's something someone I know made for me long time ago.
It's Mumyonggye! Chase him!
Yes!
I see a bug on this happy occasion.
You cannot escape this time.
I won't let you escape alive.
