(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

Then I am sorry.

If you ever feel unwell, visit us anytime...

What is this about?

I heard you are bold.

That much is true.

Yoo Hoo Myung and Shin Gui Soo.

They were taught by...

Jeon Kyu Hyung, author of "Haedongboncho."

Jeon Kyu Hyung is dead and all his books are burned.

I heard you also studied under Jeon Kyu Hyung.

If you have any ideas, bring them to me.

Unless you want to be involved in...

another m*ssacre that got your teacher dead.

You knew my father?

Not only are you a dunce, you are an eavesdropper too.

You listen in on conversations? Good for you.

I heard clearly...

that you studied with my father.

"With him?"

Me, study with the lofty Minister of Personnel?

Answer my question!

You knew...

who I was all along?

Yes! Everyone in Hanyang knows what happened.

That Yoo Hoo Myung died a suspicious death...

and that you caused the former king's death.

Then why...

Why did you not say anything?

Should I have held both your hands...

and shared stories from the past?

I let you stay at my clinic and be some sort of physician.

Why does the royal inspector speak to you in such a manner?

I have no idea!

How would I know what he was saying...

when he barged in just like that?

I ask because I think my father was involved.

That is enough!

From now on,

do not mention your father...

or Hanyang around me.

I am sick of it all.

If you do,

you leave this place that day.

If you got it, go to sleep.

(Haedongboncho)

Yoo Hoo Myung and Shin Gui Soo.

They were taught by...

Jeon Kyu Hyung, author of "Haedongboncho."

This book.

(Haedongboncho)

It has something to do with my father?

Master.

(Haedongboncho)

(Episode 7)

Ip Bun.

What is that for?

Physician Gye told us to collect only what makes money.

Yangjegeun, Ryanghyeoljihyeol.

They treat bleeding ailments.

Roots are dried and then used.

We need lots of herbs that stop bleeding.

We never know when we must treat injuries.

My gosh. You think that far ahead now?

What do you think of me?

Man-Man Bok.

Sn-Snake.

It looks like a viper.

- Do not tease me.
- Snake.

I am stifling hot.

Viper. If it bites you, you die before you take seven steps.

What?

Jang g*n.

Should you tease me like that or not?

Man Bok. Do not move.

You are joining in as well?

I may not look it,

but I am actually quick-witted.

What is this?

- Do not look at me!
- Throw it far away.

I cannot.

My hand will not move.

Then hold onto it tight.

Stay still.

It will bite if you blink.

Stare right into its eyes.

The snake is going your way.

Watch out, my lady.

Where...

How dare you?

How dare you? Shoo.

Man Bok.

- Oh, no.
- Help him.

Oh, dear.

Are these all clean?

Father. Something bad happened.

What happened to him?

- What happened?
- He was bitten by a viper.

What?

It was a venomous one.

I feel so cold.

Physician Gye!

Myeong Wol has a bad hangover and cannot wake up.

She cannot?

What about Man Bok?

He will not die.

Plus, Myeong Wol is loaded.

Show me the way.

That cruel man cares for nothing but money.

My gosh.

I am so embarrassed to have him as a father.

Man Bok.

He will die.

I will administer acupuncture.

Okay. Right here.

Se Yeob.

Wh-What?

I am dying. I have no time for titles or honorifics.

I am older than you, so let me speak freely.

It must be good to be you.

You are good-looking.

You are of noble birth.

And you are... popular with women.

Even that young lady likes you.

If I am born again,

I wish to be you.

Oh, dear.

But...

you...

Learn to read the room.

Thank you...

for everything.

Oh, no.

- Man Bok.
- No.

- Man Bok!
- My gosh!

- Man Bok.
- Man Bok!

- Man Bok!
- Hey!

- Man Bok!
- Oh, no!

It is the steppe ratsnake. Kids play with it all the time.

It is not venomous!

There!

Oh, it was the steppe ratsnake.

This is the steppe ratsnake.

Then why was I short of breath?

What is this? Where is Myeong Wol?

Sit down.

I called you here to have a drink with you.

My goodness.

There is something...

I would like to tell Ip Bun.

You know?

Here, let me pour you one.

When was the last time we drank together? Hold on.

It has been well over ten years,

but less than 20 years.

Stop your antics.

Tell me what this is about.

Your nasty temper has not changed one bit.

I went through hoops...

to find this.

(Promissory Note)

It is the promissory note.

For the 50 nyang Jang Kyung Sook borrowed from me.

If you do not wish to get your mouth ripped out,

do not...

utter her name again.

If I call her Ip Bun's mother,

will you not rip my mouth out?

Shut your mouth!

You are still not over her.

I have not even tasted any of the dishes yet.

What? Why would you shove this in my face now?

You must pay off her debt in her stead.

She owes me 1,000 nyang in total.

Of course, you do not have that kind of money.

Then...

Hand over Gyesoo Clinic.

Then I will call it even.

You must be going senile.

She left Ip Bun with you...

and asked you to raise her,

so you must pay off her debt.

I will go to Ip Bun now.

Do not underestimate the power of this promissory note.

If I take issue with this and report you,

I can sell Ip Bun to get my money back.

Oh, hold on.

Will you be okay if she finds out?

Can I tell Ip Bun...

that her mother...

died at your hands, you insane m*rder*r and quack?

Hand over Gyesoo Clinic.

Otherwise,

I will go to Ip Bun and tell her everything right away.

I can see that you are faltering.

I will tell Ip Bun that she is not your daughter.

What do you say? Can I tell her everything?

Shut your mouth!

That scoundrel.

Here.

What is this?

Chinese yam juice.

You should have told us that it was the steppe ratsnake.

We all thought Man Bok was going to die.

Drink up.

Your caring daughter made this for you...

so you can get your appetite back. Drink up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Please...

No! Please, no...

Well...

About what Man Bok said earlier...

Just forget about it.

You know,

they say people talk nonsense...

in their final moments.

I understand.

People even speak ill of the King behind his back.

Did it not...

offend you?

"Learn to read the room."

I was told that countless times even at the Medical Office.

They always said it...

after I flaunted my skills.

So I am not offended.

Stop!

She is going in the water again!

My gosh!

Get her, quick!

Stop!

Hurry!

Good grief!

Come on!

Yoo Jung?

- Do you know her?
- Enough!

Yes.

My gosh.

- Lay her down.
- Yes, sir.

What is the matter?

Whenever she sees water, she jumps in.

Was she bitten by a crazy dog or something?

The mad dog disease?

Has she done this in the past?

She dragged her out of a creek earlier,

but she jumped in again.

Let us administer acupuncture first.

- Go ahead.
- Yes.

At Daeryeung and Sinmun.

Sinmun and Daeryeung.

Arson?

Where was the fire?

She threw some burning firewood on the roof of a house,

where a woman lives alone.

She was seen carrying the firewood.

That cannot be.

Was she holding a grudge against that woman?

They had never even met.

How do you know the woman who started the fire?

The bookstore I used to frequent...

The biggest one in the village.

She is that family's only daughter.

The bookstore?

They also own the general store.

They are well off. Am I wrong?

She got me so many good books.

I heard her parents spent a fortune...

to marry her off to a poor nobleman.

It is possible that an illness prompted her to start the fire.

Do you think she might really have mad dog disease?

She seems to have a maddening thirst.

I told you to only get the ones we could sell.

You never listen to me.

Who picked this one?

This one is too much work!

It is an important ingredient to cool the blood to stop bleeding!

I know that too!

Will we only treat trauma patients who bring in no money?

"All my foul-mouthed father cares about is money."

Said Ip Bun.

Goodness.

Physician Gye, are you here?

I heard you were selling the house.

Will you be moving soon?

Here. Take your time and look around.

The land is abundant with yang energy.

- And down here...
- Are you selling the property?

How can it be sold without the owner's permission?

You cannot show buyers what is not on the market.

- What?
- I am sure about it though.

According to Commander Im, the property is on the market.

Is he the owner of this place? No, it is I.

Now, get lost!

Words would have sufficed.

There was no need to splash water. Let us leave.

Granny, nicely done.

Why on earth did you buy so much?

It is not like we have a ritual to hold.

We have a lot of mouths to feed now.

Besides, this is what I buy almost every day.

We cannot drain our resources to feed them though.

Starting today, everyone will eat...

blanched vegetables dipped in soy sauce.

What is with him today?

Darn it.

Father, you are to eat alone today.

If I see you at the table, I might have indigestion.

Let us eat.

Do you have any issues?

Like you said, we are sticking to blanched vegetables.

Even dogs are left in peace while they eat.

I think I already have indigestion.

Ibchun, wusu, gyeongchib, chunbun, cheongmyeong,

gokhu, ibha, soman.

Ibchun, wusu, gyeongchib, chunbun, cheongmyeong,

- gokhu, ibha, soman.
- Jang g*n.

- Ibchun, wusu, gyeongchib...
- Stop!

Gosh.

What the...

What?

Why you...

How dare you try to trick me.

(Samudang)

Yoo Jung?

It is Eun Woo. I am sure you remember me.

I wished to hear from you, but you were not in contact.

Is it true that you set fire to a stranger's home?

It does not seem possible.

Please tell me I am wrong.

Yoo Jung, what is wrong?

Why are you doing this?

Please stop. Please.

Water...

Water.

What could have made her that way?

Bottled up anger manifested into an illness of the mind.

Could it have stemmed from her relationship with her in-laws?

Let us confirm that ourselves.

It is obvious that my daughter-in-law set the fire,

so why did they feel the need to rummage through the house?

The dispatched officers must have made a mess of things.

She has never been the chirpiest...

which keeps me from reading her.

How dare she set someone else's home on fire.

But I knew her as someone who was bold enough...

to always speak her mind.

Was there a child?

It died of an illness.

What rotten luck.

This is what I get for welcoming the wrong person into my family.

Mourning clothes are not worn when a child passes away,

but not Yoo Jung.

Could the sadness have swallowed her whole?

Maybe that led to her repressed anger.

Her chambers reminded me of those lived in by maids.

While others at that residence...

had decorative cabinets and high-quality duvets.

As a maiden, she was known for her boisterous charm...

which is why I figured she would have a good life.

It is not too late for her.

Once we find the root of her problem,

help her release her anger,

and sort out the arson charge, she might be able to be happy again.

Here, here. Double your money.

Lady or gentleman. Guess where the marble is...

and double your money.

- I will pay you double.
- Here.

- The money will be mine.
- Double your money.

Double your money, people.

Yes!

Jang g*n won the money.

No one can fool our Jang g*n.

- What the...
- Let us try it once more.

- What...
- Come on, then.

- Darn it.
- How could you?

You sent out a young boy to earn money.

I never made him do anything.

He did it on his own accord not to get kicked out.

That is the same as compelling him.

Are you not shamed being the adult here?

You brat.

Do you know how much it costs to put food on the table?

Jang g*n should learn how to earn one's keep.

Babying him will not do him good.

From here on out, you are to economize...

regardless of your age!

What is it? Is a creditor trying to seize this house from you?

What did I expect from someone of lowly origin?

How dare you set fire to a house that is owned by one's husband?

It shows the lack of moral education you received.

You made a mockery out of it!

Are you even listening to me?

What... Unbelivable.

Wench!

Let me enter.

Not again.

Lady Seo, please.

Yoo Jung, do you recognize me now?

The heartache must have been excruciating.

To lose your daughter like that...

Yoo Jung.

- What?
- Yoo Jung.

Are you kidding me?

Stop this.

Please stop this, Yoo Jung.

It is too hot.

No.

Who would be responsible if she were to escape?

Right now, she is unwell.

You cannot judge or sentence her.

Are you going to ask me to release every prisoner to you?

Also,

are you so skilled that you can surely repress anger...

in just three days?

Yes.

He is. From what I saw,

he is the greatest physician in Joseon.

What is the problem?

I will treat her,

and you can dock my pay accordingly.

Repressed anger is hard to cure.

What about her food and board?

We barely make enough to support ourselves.

She is sick...

because she lost her daughter.

We must see what the cause is,

and if she was framed for arson.

Then you...

eat less.

Tell Man Bok to do the same.

I will limit Man Bok to two bowls per meal. How is that?

Tell Lady Seo to eat just one bowl too.

Oh, poor me.

Did the royal inspector release her this time too?

Yes.

When I was framed for m*rder,

he treated me pretty nicely for a young nobleman.

I heard he is a skilled swordsman too.

His face is the best part of him.

The handsome one is the one with the sword, right?

Granny.

Oh, right.

Lady Seo, you and the royal inspector.

I heard you were close since childhood.

You make such a pretty couple.

Why did you two not marry in the first place?

Young Master.

You just had dinner and you are eating corn on the cob?

Oh, dear.

My Poong.

He is jealous.

He is all grown up.

I think...

you eat too much, causing moisture and toxins to build up.

- What?
- Before you have a stroke too,

you must eat just one bowl of rice per meal.

One bowl is too little.

My gosh!

If concern or fury brings on depression,

it blocks your energy, causing an illness.

Which of the two is the cause?

Is it concern or fury?

It is fury.

I prescribe 100 rounds of moxa cautery on two points.

Oh, my gosh.

Why are you out this late?

Do you want water?

Where are you going?

Are you all right?

Oh, my gosh.

You do nothing but read boring books.

That is why you do not improve.

You are so prim and haughty, just like your father.

Where can I find a cure...

if not in books on medicine?

You must have mastered all the books on medicine...

to call yourself a physician.

Once you become a physician,

you must read books that teach you about the human race.

That is how you learn to deduce...

what caused someone's illness.

Is that why you always read storybooks?

Now, take a look.

See for yourself. Everything goes in a storybook.

You can cross into the afterlife,

and you can meet the dead too.

Go and see your daughter.

This is the afterlife.

Storybooks say...

you can meet the deceased in the afterlife.

A spring will sprout up if you dig the ground.

Consider that the afterlife.

Pretend this place is the afterlife.

Yoo Jung. Go along with it and do as he says.

Pretend your daughter is in there.

Seol.

Seol.

My child.

The fury you kept bottled up.

We will hear your story.

Yes. Tell us whatever you want.

Because of me,

my daughter died.

I am of middle-class.

My father, who wanted me to marry into a noble family,

married me off to a poor nobleman.

He gave us a house and paid a dowry.

But in that house,

I was always alone.

How dare you take a break?

Since you are now married to a nobleman,

you must work hard...

to earn money!

Because you are lowborn,

I have to teach you and spell out everything.

Darn you!

When my daughter was born,

I was finally not alone anymore.

Mom.

Yes?

I am cold.

My sweet child, take more medicine.

Lord Im's family sent a messenger.

You promised to help them,

so you ought to keep your promise.

I cannot go anywhere when Seol is this ill.

Is she not our daughter?

Obviously, I will take good care of her.

Hurry up and go.

Then make sure you check in often to see how Seol is doing.

How brazen!

How dare you tell your husband what to do?

Seol, I will be back soon.

Mom, please stay.

Hurry up! My goodness.

I will be back shortly.

Goodness.

Seol.

Look.

This is the comb you wanted.

Seol?

Seol.

Seol, wake up.

Seol.

Seol... No! My daughter...

Wake up. It is me, your mother.

Seol!

Because I...

Because of her lowborn mother,

she suffered all her life and died.

Gosh.

When Seol died,

my husband and mother-in-law did not care. No one did.

That was when it all began.

I started feeling this inextinguishable flame in my chest.

When I saw the fire in the furnace while making dinner,

the flame in my chest was ignited.

I grabbed some firewood without even realizing it.

Then I walked and walked.

I have no recollection of what happened after that.

After your daughter died,

you sent someone out to find your husband. Where was he?

What do you think? It is obvious.

How dare you set fire to a house that is owned by one's husband?

I am a physician.

We heard there was a fire. We are here to make sure you are okay.

The magistrate's office sent us.

Thank goodness the fire was put out quickly.

I nearly died.

That crazy woman tried to burn my house down.

Anyway, is the magistrate's office sending us medicine?

I heard you lived alone. Is someone else here?

Whether I live alone or not, it is none of your business.

I only said that because I did not want any gossip.

If your husband inhaled smoke too,

both of you would need medicine.

Yes, he did. He inhaled a lot of smoke.

Have you never met Lady Jang, the woman who started the fire?

No, never.

What brings you by again?

I believe we left one of the needles here.

Would you like to see?

Physician Yoo received this from the King...

when he aced the medical licensing exam.

If you receive treatment with this,

all your ailments will go away.

Right, Physician Yoo?

Yes.

Is that so? Come on in.

It is indigestion caused by eating too much meat and greasy food.

So what do you think?

You have trouble digesting food.

It has been going on for a while.

Correct.

I suppose the beef ribs were too greasy. My stomach is upset.

Beef ribs?

I have to eat meat at every meal.

If there is a special medicine that can help me digest meat,

I would love to try it.

The Royal Needle will be helpful. Right?

- The Royal Needle?
- Yes.

Oh, right. To get the beef grease out,

I must put the needle into the sole of your foot.

That is fine.

My stomach is upset. Please hurry.

Sure.

Please hang in there.

Please hang in there.

I am sorry.

They are living a comfortable life thanks to Yoo Jung's money.

It made me so angry.

Her daughter-in-law got arrested, so she probably cannot sleep.

Stimulating Yongcheon helps relax the body and mind.

Well done.

You should have tapped the needles into Tonggok and Taechung too.

Anyway, why did you go back to that house?

Because Yoo Jung may not have been the one who started the fire.

Are you sure you started the fire?

The firewood at that house...

I did it.

What?

I failed to overcome my anger due to my lowly origin.

Unlike Eun Woo, I do not come from a noble family.

Why do you have so much on your mind?

Just tell me.

Forget it.

I can be your dating coach and even confess your feelings in your stead.

I can do anything.

Move.

What?

What is with all the floor mattresses?

My goodness.

You move around so much when you sleep.

From here to all the way over there.

Like this.

Not only that, but you also snore and grind your teeth.

Me? You are being ridiculous.

I wake up...

in the exact same position I go to sleep in.

As if.

You roll around the entire room all night...

only to go back to where you started in the morning,

which is why you believe that.

Are you ashamed of it, being of noble birth?

Noble birth? As if that means anything.

Gosh.

Here you go.

- What is this?
- Oh, this?

A tonic was brewed with the snake we caught.

Drink up, Young Master. Meat is good for your hand tremors.

How can one drink such a foul tonic?

It will work wonders, given how Lady Seo brewed it.

Unlike most ladies of noble birth,

she sure is high-spirited.

She caught a snake...

that even scares those of lowly birth.

That is it.

Our origin is not that important.

- That is it.
- Sorry?

That is it!

The patient married into a noble family...

but was frowned upon for her lowly origin.

A lady of a noble family must be docile,

so she must have thought...

she could not even talk back to her husband.

It is why she did not speak of the mistress she had.

What can we do to relieve her of this illness?

It will require your help,

but I am not sure if you can do it.

Please tell me what it is. I am willing to do anything.

I do not think you have what it takes.

It is nothing.

Forget I said anything.

That still is no reason for you to stop midway.

A woman of noble birth should not carry a table.

I am here to eat with you.

You must eat.

How else will you replenish your energy?

Goodness.

What if someone sees you?

Is something wrong?

I have only dumped the rice in my soup.

This is not acceptable as a noble lady.

Being noble is no different.

Your in-laws taught you wrong.

What a meal that was.

I cannot help but think that your husband...

is a piece of garbage.

- Eun Woo!
- "A piece of garbage."

"Keep talking bollocks, will you?"

Boll...

Say it.

Boll...

Lady Eun Woo,

I am afraid we must come up with a different plan.

No, let me try again.

A piece of garbage.

Keep talking bollocks...

Cussing requires experience.

It is not easy for one to speak such lowly words.

What is it with him and his sudden sense of frugality?

What is it this time?

We are to make a soup with the scales he collected...

from the fish store.

Darn you, Psycho Gye Ji Han!

That reminds me.

Physician Gye mentioned how you eat too much.

From now on, you must only eat one bowl per meal.

Dunce!

Should you be chatting so much...

when you cannot make yourself useful as an acupuncturist?

Stop idling away.

- I told you to make a house call.
- Psycho Gye Ji Han.

The lady there adores you...

and will pay a hefty amount for your services.

Get going!

Darn him.

Darn you, Psycho Gye Ji Han!

I would love to snap his neck...

and serve it on a pike.

Darn that...

A noble lady should not say...

such foul words.

Being of noble birth does not make us different.

It is only the shell we were born into.

Why must we keep our emotions bottled up inside?

One should be able to laugh,

be angry, and cuss at others.

Yoo Jung, people are all the same.

Do you think it worked?

Laying it out in foul words...

released the frustration within me.

I am glad.

I wonder why I never brought myself to try this before.

- Sorry?
- The frustration is now gone.

What I did to help Yoo Jung...

helped me in return.

I remember now.

I am not the one who set fire to the house.

When will you kick that woman out?

I am of noble birth, and she is of middle-class.

Anyone will say that I should be your legitimate wife.

Since that is the case, let me call you as one.

My wife.

Bring me all the money she has saved up.

If you wish to be adored, I mean.

Come here, my darling.

Come here.

There is no need to be shy.

You seem delighted.

Are you now willing to really light something on fire?

It is I, Jang Yoo Jung.

Kim Gwang Tae, you rat. Get out here!

How dare you!

Are you insane?

You are the one who is insane.

Yes, I am of middle-class.

But I made a life for myself...

while you spent yours chasing skirts.

I am only guilty...

of being born in a world where only the nobles are valued.

That is all.

This is how you act after setting my house on fire?

She is not the one who started the fire.

It was you.

What are you saying?

She may have come here with the firewood,

but you set the fire yourself.

The firewood she failed to throw at the house.

It is right there.

You burn oak...

while her family burns pine.

That is oak,

and this is pine.

Look closely!

You probably saw Yoo Jung turn around and head home.

Due to it raining recently,

the fire did not spread.

Although you probably wished for the house to burn down.

Why would I set fire to my own house?

I will soon tell you why.

Are you Myeong of the Deokpyeong Heo clan?

Yes. Why do you ask?

According to the family register, one by that name does not exist.

What nonsense are you spewing?

I have seen the genealogical record myself.

What you saw was a forgery.

She was once imprisoned for this exact crime.

She set fire to her own house...

to give you a reason...

to kick out your wife...

before her identity was revealed.

All she wanted was your money.

Arrest her.

- Absolutely.
- Will do.

Defamation of character and forgery are your crimes.

Do not forget arson too.

A mistress is only a mistress.

One's devoted wife...

must forgive her husband despite his flaws.

You have not forgotten, have you?

You are Seol's mother.

Shut your mouth, you scumbag.

Do not say my daughter's name.

That is no language to use to me.

How so, you piece of garbage?

I would wring your neck...

and shove you into a pile of manure.

How dare you try to lecture me?

Why are you so vulgar?

- I should...
- Freeze!

If you so much as take one more step, I will...

beat you up so no bone remains in one piece.

You are the darnedest fool of most crass birth I ever saw!

Darn you! You punk! You scum!

Mugwort! Lavender! Daisies!

I would love to scrape the road with your face.

I will pluck out a bone and beat you with it.

Oh, dear.

- My gosh.
- He is a thick-faced fool.

Use this.

Do not k*ll me.

I am sorry. I was wrong to...

Do not ever come back.

Keep him.

I have no use for a moron.

Honey.

Well done.

- You did very well.
- Good for you.

I did not do anything wrong, did I?

Oh, whatever.

I can see clearly now.

The fire that burned me up is gone too.

I will remember what you did for me for the rest of my life.

Where will you go?

My older brother invited me to stay.

Do not worry about me anymore.

I hope you can visit one day.

I bought this...

for my daughter.

You keep it.

Okay.

Oh. I have something for you too.

Thank you.

You are great at drawing.

Do not ever choose misfortune again.

From now on, focus only on being happy.

Darn it. It tastes no good.

Gye Ji Han. You cannot afford alcohol,

so you are eating grains left over from wine-making?

Not you again.

What are you doing here?

Do you have it yet?

You owe me.

Here. Now get lost.

- Go on your way.
- Why?

Are you afraid I will tattle?

This is 50 nyang, the principal. What about the interest?

I will give you that later. Now go.

Ip Bun!

Keep your mouth shut! Be quiet.

Ip Bun. Your mother...

Jang Kyung Sook!

Your father and your mother...

She was his first love? I know that. Everyone here knows that.

So what? She was pretty.

I must be pretty because I am her daughter.

Your mother, because of this fool of a physician...

She died. Is that what you want to say?

She died because he did not administer acupuncture.

Not even the legendary Huatuo could cure someone with the plague.

And to treat the plague you prescribe tonics, not needles.

Right, Father?

Right...

No?

Your full name is not actually Gye Ip Bun.

You are not Gye Ji Han's daughter!

I know that. My birth father's name was Ahn, was it?

Instead of Gye Ip Bun, does that make me Ahn Ip Bun?

- What...
- I do not like that name.

You are threatening him with my birth secret? How old.

How do you know all that?

How come...

Why do you look so shocked?

You repeat the story whenever you are drunk.

You are all sick of hearing it, right?

Yes.

Oh, I see...

Get lost. I will repay the interest next time.

I must get lost? How will you pay me back?

You owe me at least 1,000 nyang more.

Here is the interest.

- What?
- The Gyeongguk Daejeon says...

the interest cannot exceed 60 percent of the principal.

Did you not know that?

Darn you. Can you not calculate?

How is 60 percent of 50 nyang just one nyang?

If we show intent to repay one nyang at a time, that is enough.

Oh, and it is not actually Physician Gye who owes you, is it?

How about we spend this on a lawyer and take this case to court?

Darn you.

Well done!

- Very well done.
- Good riddance.

That is my urine.

He had it coming. He did.

Even if I must k*ll you all to do so,

I will...

take this land from you.

(Gyesoo Clinic)

I will not eat that.

It will numb my mouth.

Lady Namhae made it, not me.

I am a terrible cook.

My mom was too, was she not?

She was even worse, but...

She was a useless cook, but she was pretty?

It is true. Lady Namhae made this.

That is why I am pretty, but a pretty bad cook.

Father. I suddenly feel rich.

sh**t. Now I cannot mock you for your nasty cooking.

We are alike, though.

We are both ugly? How so?

We both like pretty people.

What? You are the one who falls for pretty boys.

Do you remember when you were five?

Chil Deuk who fell out of the persimmon tree.

You fell for him and kept going to his place.

People teased you and called you Chil Deuk's wife.

Sin Woo. What brings you here?

Where is Physician Gye?

Whose is this?

It is mine.

I administer acupuncture now.

Is this truly yours, Eun Woo?

Yes.

Physician Yoo gave it to me.

He said the King had bestowed it upon him.

This...

belongs to Physician Yoo?

It makes a pair with the needle whose color has changed.

In that case, was the stiletto needle...

Was Yoo Se Yeob the one who used it?

What is the matter?

(Haedongboncho)

(Staff ensured the animals' safety in the filming of this drama.)

Plague!

The plague is going around!

Patients are flocking to the clinic.

They bought all of it.

Who?

The medicinal herbs in Im Soon Man's storage.

Bring me all of it.

We built mountain huts for the infected.

The blisters that appear on the infected...

are different from anything I have seen or read about.

They must believe that it was caused by an outbreak of plague.

Save the people of this village.

Allow us to burn down the mountain huts in Sorak Village.

I will find it and save them.

Stay with me.

Yoo Se Yeob, snap out of it!
