[Final Episode]

It seems like I'm dreaming.

Is it still like a dream?

A dream that is.

A dream that I don't want to wake up from forever.

Jun! Hey, Heo Jun!

What brought you here as soon as the sun's up?

Uh... That is...

What?

Why did you come here again?

It's not a place like Banchon Tavern where you can come and go freely. I said it's a sacred place.

What is that?

Huh? Ah... This?

Ah, that's Taoist's.

Is that mine?

No! No! Am I crazy?

Mine, mine. I will take this.

If it's yours, why did you bring it all the way here? Do you want to brag about it?

Yes, yes. I'm here to brag about it. Why can't I?

You brag about it really painstakingly. Such a short-legged girl!

Are they all good medicines for a puncture wound?

A puncture wound?

Yeap. For example, it could be a cut by a sword...

Ah, I won't let that quack get away with it. I definitely told him that I have indigestion.

Well, it can't be helped.

You just take it or throw it away. Do whatever you want to.

I'm kind of busy so I'm going...

I have no indigestion.

I have a puncture wound.

Why?

What?

This is mine.

Hey!

If you feel so worried about him, just ask him how he is. Why are you acting like that?

Worried? Who? Me? About whom? That ahjussi?

No, not at all.

Do you have a crush on Taoist?

No way! No! Am I crazy?

Hey! As for me I like a clean man with both a body and a heart.

I said no. Never!

What is there to be shy about? The grown-ups can like each other.

My favorite thing in the world is just money.

I really hate to be a burden to somebody.

A person to give a hand to.

Who?

A girl who is so timid that she complains all the time.

Can I give you a hand?

Ah, am I really crazy? Why do I keep thinking of that beggar foot-wrap?

Ah... Ahssi!

Uh?

Who is that guy?

Who are you?

Come inside.

What? He can't be trying to stow way!

She's not here yet.

What? Why are the two of you here?

You came. I'm here to give you a thing.

To give me a thing? What?

What is this? Bravery drink?

Are you trying to sell the medicine to me? I don't need it.

Hey, if you want to go out with Taoist, drink this. It will be helpful.

What are you saying? Really! It's not like that!

If you don't want to, then don't. Whatever you want.

Ah, right. I saw that guy, Heo Ok a moment ago.

Since his wanted lists are all around, he seems to be trying to stow away.

Don't you think he has to be captured?

He doesn't have anything to do with me. I don't have time for him.

Bravery drink

Bravery drink?

Jun!

Heo Jun!

Yes. Why? Do you need something?

If that really bothers you, just go.

Forget about it. It's better not to be involved.

If that makes you feel regretful later, then what?

That will be left to be a burden to your heart after today.

It's time, so everybody get out, please!

Be quiet!

What are you doing here?

It's been a while.

By chance,

you're not thinking of running away to Ming, right?

You know too well what happens to those who get caught,

so you wouldn't be doing this, right?

So what? What are you going to do? Are you going to arrest me?

D-Did you bring the royal officials?

Why would I bring the royal officials?

If you run away now, you'll live the rest of your life hiding, fighting pain,

running, and being scared.

Jun, you're cool until the very end.

You're mocking me after your hyung turned out miserable like this.

Why are you so cocky?

Miserable?

Do you know what it's like to be miserable?

Instead of hiding like a coward, if you committed a crime, accept the consequences.

Instead of running away, acknowledge your wrongdoings and face the consequences.

That

is the last road you can take

to live your life.

I just wanted to live a good life as well!

A-And who are you?

Although it's not easy to acknowledge your wrongdoings,

please don't throw away

the last opportunity Jun has given you.

Self-Awareness Potion

What is this?

Now this is your house, huh? Is this your room now?

Ahjusshi, I have something to fuss about.

What's there to fuss about this early in the morning?

That day...

Why did you hold my hand?

Did you have a morning drink?

What hand did I hold?

You held my hand! The day you got stabbed by that scary Excellency!

Huh? My wrist! This, this. You grabbed this!

That was because I was worried you'd get hurt and saved you.

That's why I'm asking why you saved me?

Why did you hide me behind your back? Huh? And tell me your true feelings every time we meet?

I really don't like that kind of stuff...

Ah, this girl continues to speak nonsense.

So what do you want me to do? Should I apologize?

Fine. I am very sorry. I ended up holding your hand. What do I do?

I ruined your life. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. What do I do?

I'm sorry.

- No. Since you keep doing that— - So what?!

- I now— - What?

L-Li...

- "Li" what? - Like you.

I now like you.

Dang it.

You? Why?

D-Don't worry. I don't like being burdensome to someone else, like baggage,

so I won't bother you. That's what I came here to say.

I don't think I'll see you again so don't worry.

I'm so relieved now.

Who said you're baggage?

You're not annoying and you're not a burden at all.

So don't say, "Let's not see each other," so easily anymore.

Do you think it's an easy chance that people meet each other by divine providence?

Do what you need to do, like it's your house.

What the heck... trying to play it cool.

Ugh.

Ah, I really don't want to go in.

Ahhh.

Self-Awareness Potion

I-I came to turn myself in.

What?

I came to turn myself in.

Now we only have one left, Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee.

You have to go somewhere with me.

Tada!

Do you like it?

It's pretty.

But why did we come here all of a sudden?

Today, let's stay here.

What?

Near here, there's no one except us.

That's what I like the best about here.

But what about the last candle?

Don't worry. I found someone to light the last candle.

Just for today, let's forget about the curse and the candles.

Let's just spend time thinking about you and me.

You'll do that for me, right?

Welcome...

This?

Just give us this, please.

Should we get one?

This too.

Thank you. Have a good day.

Wow, they're so fancy.

Women must love these.

They're so pretty.

These are nice too! Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee!

You're hungry, right? Let's go and make food.

The bride is paying her respects by bowing.

The groom is also paying her respects by bowing.

Wait! Miss, don't you think there's not enough water?

- It's perfect. - No no!

Do it.

Okay!

- Faster, faster faster! - Okay!

- Don't stick next to me! - Okay!

I said don't do that!

Move.

Faster!

Draw me.

Whoa.

Your eyebrows are too pretty.

Just a little more. They're similar.

Tada!

One, two, three!

Go go go! Three!

Three!

Longer. One, two, three!

What do you mean a house? Why all of a sudden?

Today I just want to spend some time with Yeon Hee alone.

Just quietly.

Well, I will look into that.

But,

the...

the last candle...

it's very... Uh, the candle...

I heard everything from His Excellency Choi Hyeon Seo

about the last page.

Yeon Hee's last candle

will be lit by me.

You should drink slowly. It's not like someone's chasing you.

Don't say anything.

I don't think I can go through tonight without getting drunk.

Ah, what's going on to make you do this?

I hate the heavens. The heavens.

It's not like fate is a joke.

Yeon Hee is pitiful. Heo Jun is more pitiful! What is all of this?!

Aigoo, for someone whose wound hasn't healed...

Wound?

What? My wound?

Do you know how many times I almost died?

You there! Give me drinks not sides!

Be quiet! I'll go inside and bring it.

If it's a life you difficultly regained, you should cherish it.

Are you telling me to listen?

It's definitely a sad fate in which either one of them must die.

They all just die. They all die.

Sacrifice Drink

It's the sacrifice drink.

The sacrifice drink?

Give it to him.

His life will cease without any pain.

This is the only thing I can do for you.

Give this to the last person. Tell him to not be frustrated.

His sacrifice will save hundreds of people's lives...

No,

since he'll save hundreds and thousands of lives.

W-Wait...

Sacrifice Drink

Are you trying to block me again?

I lost all the ways to kill you.

How could I block you anymore?

But today, I came here to tell you something.

I have no intentions of listening.

Did you hear about the last page of The Book of Demon Banishment?

Of course, you didn't know.

You couldn't have known.

His Excellency did hide it away from you.

Only the sacrifice of true love can light the last candle.

That is what's written on the last page.

Right, it must be Heo Jun.

He'll be the one to light your last candle.

Heo Jun will no doubt lay down his life for you.

It's a lie.

It's a pity that you fell into a sweet dream

of being with him forever.

I don't believe you.

Right, it must be Heo Jun.

He'll be the one to light your last candle.

Heo Jun will no doubt lay down his life for you.

Don't worry. I found someone to light the last candle.

Yeon Hee.

Where did you go without telling me? I was worried since you suddenly disappeared.

Why on earth...

W-What's going on? Is something wrong?

Are you hurt somewhere?

Is it because of the candle?

Are you worried about the last candle?

Don't worry. The last candle will be lit.

How?

Will you die instead of me?

- Yeon Hee. - You should have run away.

It says you have to die.

It says I might make you die.

You should have done whatever you could to run away.

Yeon Hee.

What about me?

After I lose you, what about me?

You said you'd do anything for me, right?

Then, leave me.

That's what I want.

I won't leave.

After I met you,

all those times we were together,

what scared me the most

was that you'd die because of me.

So...

Please, leave.

Poong Yeon.

Father.

I came because I have a request.

If Yeon Hee's curse is lifted tonight,

I want you to light a fire by the internal spiritual force to burn Hong Joo.

If Hong Joo dies,

what will happen to you?

I'll think about that after I get rid of Hong Joo.

Don't worry about me, your father.

Jun, there's something I want to do with you.

Groom and Bride please pay your respects by bowing to each other.

Now, the two of you have become united in marriage.

- Now, we will— - Wait.

There's something I forgot.

Just wait a bit.

Taoist.

I wish

that I had at least

one more day with Jun.

Now that we are married.

Now, you can't go anywhere.

I like you a lot, Yeon Hee.

I like you a lot too.

I want to walk with you.

Let's go outside.

Yeon Hee doesn't have much time anymore.

I am sorry, Scholar Heo.

Sacrifice Drink

Because of you, all those times I ran to save you, helped me live.

Now, I want to become someone who saves the life of someone I love.

My sincere feelings of not wanting to die or not being able to express them, are the only thing I have left.

In my last time for you,

I just hope my sincere feelings will be good enough.

Heo Jun!

Seo Ri!

Scholar Heo!

Seo Ri.

Scholar Heo.

Scholar Heo. Scholar Heo!

Yeon Hee.

Jun, don't hurt too much and don't miss me too much.

Yeon Hee.

I will cherish those days we spent together, which will never come again.

Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee!

Remember those days.

If you miss me too much, I'm sure we'll see each other again some day.

♪ Don't cry, sky. ♪

♪ Let me see that person ♪

I'm thankful for that. ♪ My love which is getting further away ♪

♪ Don't cry, my heart. ♪

♪ Let me hold onto him. ♪

I love you, Jun. ♪ Please stop this falling rain ♪

Why are you looking at me like that?

Seeing me die like this,

are you relieved? Enjoying it?

Are you satisfied?!

I hated... I hated that look.

"Pitiful girl. Hopeless girl."

"Even though you've been through all of that,

you're living like it's nothing."

You're right. I had to live. What else could I do?

Do you think it's all over?

No.

This suffering, this curse

won't end when I die.

That this nation has become like this,

do you think it's because of me?

As long as, in the pretext of the heaven having chosen,

there is someone who sits on the throne,

and there are people who don't know what is right and wrong,

whether 100 years past or 1000 years pass,

the people just will suffer until their deaths

and live cursed lives

Y-Your Excellency... Your Excellency...

We all

live a cursed life.

Is it painful?

Those are all the scars I've received

and I've just returned them to you.

Hong Joo, no matter what you try to do,

yours and my sins cannot be forgiven.

Carry the curse with you.

I will walk with you.

Father. Father!

Father.

Father!

Next person.

Here it is.

I am Heo Jun.

What subject test are you taking?

Medicine, in the miscellaneous science and technology department.

Test Subject

Begin.

They're coming out! What?

- Scholar Heo. Scholar Heo! - Hey!

Hey!

Why is he already out?

- His expression isn't good. - Yeah.

Did you already give up?

Is it not good?

Ah, it's okay! Toughen up! It could happen to any man.

Don't be upset that you screwed up one exam.

Let's go to our tavern and drink up. I'll treat you.

Sorry. I have someone I have to meet.

Let's have a drink next time.

There's always next year.

- And the year after that. - Brighten up.

It's here every year.

And, hold on.

"Drink up?"

You should think about saving money. What is this reckless spending?

Is that your tavern? It's mine.

Why is that yours? It's ours.

Ah, what am I going to do with you?

What? Let's go together.

Aigoo. This is tiring.

Sir!

I was afraid I wouldn't see you but it's nice to see you like this.

I heard. You took the royal medical exam?

Yes. I want to keep a promise that I made with Yeon Hee.

Sounds good. I know you'll do well.

Sir! It's time to leave.

Do you have to leave?

I want to go to bigger places, learn more new things, and help a lot of people.

That is the purpose for the rest of my life.

Sir, you must stay healthy.

Okay.

Alright, let's go!

Your Majesty.

Heo Jun, this outfit really doesn't suit you well.

Well, either way, it's nice to see you again.

Yes, Your Majesty. I am glad to see you as well.

How did someone who was bold in word only become a physician?

There is a book I want to make before I die.

A book that will repair the body and heal the mind.

A book, you say.

Although I cannot treat everyone in the world by myself,

I believe that this book will help treat many people who are ill.

Like I've done it before.

Ah, I don't need that.

Royal Physician Heo Jun!

I surely want to see that book before I die.

40 years later He gives out rice to the people in hunger and releases the wrongly accused people.

That's why many people are called after Im Kkeok Jeong (Korean Robin Hood) are heroes somehow.

Grandpa, I also want to become a great hero like Im Kkeok Jeong!

- Then you will do martial arts too? - Yes.

Because I should give a lesson to the bad guys like this.

Yes.

I also want to become a great physician like you, Grandpa.

What exactly can I do to be able to become a good physician?

Let's see... A good physician?

A good physician doesn't look at the body first.

- A good physician is one who looks at the heart first. - The heart?

You have to do well at reading people's hearts so that you become a good physician.

Do you understand?

Yes.

- Understood? - Yes!

- Teacher. - Yes.

"The Dongui Bogam": Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine (A priceless book about medicines of an eastern country, Joseon Dynasty of Korea.)

Teacher, it is finally finished.

You're amazing.

However, Teacher, there's something I'm curious about.

What is it?

It is something that is written in "Dongui Bogam: Exemplar of Korean Medicine".

It is something related to potions that allow you to see ghosts, or make people fall in love.

Isn't it not a medicine?

Medicine is not only potions or tonics.

Did you finish getting ready to go to the capital?

Then, let's hurry and leave.

"The Dongui Bogam: Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine"

Let's rest for a little bit.

Yes, Teacher.

Teacher, please wait for me a little bit.

I will go to a nearby river and get some water.
