How may we help you?
Throw everything away.
- Yes, Your Highness! - Yes, Your Highness!
- What is going on? - Step aside!
- Where are you going? - Hey, Jang Gun!
- Move aside! - What is this...
Step aside!
What is this about?
Can you not see that we are treating patients?
Stay out of this!
You little... What is wrong with you?
Be quiet.
Why, you...
(Episode 3)
By now, your neck should be okay...
What happened? Why did it all come back?
Did you not follow the instructions I gave you?
No. I was very busy, and it was so itchy.
But it is much better than before, thanks to you.
I thought it would have all gone away by now.
Do you have worries that you are keeping all to yourself?
This is all my fault.
Without even asking you beforehand,
I applied salt water on it.
I am sorry.
You did it because it was unbearably itchy.
Do not beat yourself up.
Is your job at the paper mill too stressful?
Being overworked can aggravate skin problems.
No. No matter how stressful it gets,
I enjoy working there because I can get paper for my personal use.
I did hear that you wrote some novels.
I heard they were very engaging.
How come you never once showed them to me?
Oh, that is because...
I was afraid you would be angry if you read them.
I would be angry?
Why?
In any case, you do not need to know.
Please excuse me for a moment.
- What? - I would be angry?
("The Story of So Cheon," Volume 7)
Thank you.
Everyone cannot wait to read the next volume.
I am showing it to you first, my lady.
I am sure I will enjoy it. I will tell everyone about it.
Get back safely.
("The Story of So Cheon," Volume 7)
Lady Eun Woo, you read novels too?
While I was in Heuksan Island,
I started reading the ones that Ip Bun sent...
and got completely immersed in them.
Perhaps, the story will help me figure out So Cheon's situation.
Let me read it first. It may help me treat...
No, you cannot read this.
Why not?
Well, you are...
You are very busy.
There are six volumes that precede this.
I will read it and tell you the story.
So I will hear the story in your voice?
I would love that.
Excuse me. Let me through.
Excuse me.
What is going on?
Her Highness the Princess?
What are you doing here?
What do you think I am doing?
Your Highness.
Compared to what you did to me,
this is nothing.
You dared to taint me, the Princess of this kingdom!
You ought to pay for what you did!
What? He tainted...
You womaniser!
- You are still clean! - How...
What on earth...
What do you mean, Your Highness?
Everyone is getting the wrong idea.
Have you forgotten what you did to me that day?
I will marry you.
I believe I have misheard you.
That was...
I clearly told you how I felt about it.
Does His Majesty know that you are here?
His Majesty sent me here.
Jeon Kang Il?
Well done, Your Highness.
I will handle the rest.
I will see you back in the governor's office.
Court Lady Jung!
Receive His Majesty's orders. Show respect!
What?
- Gosh. - My goodness.
- What is he talking about? - Be quiet.
"This inspection will determine your qualifications as a local clinic..."
"and allocate your budget and allowance accordingly."
"Hence, you are to fully cooperate with the inspection."
"Until the inspection is completed,"
"Gyesoo Clinic is closed indefinitely."
What?
Hey! You are not the one giving us money.
The money comes from His Majesty's privy purse.
Why is the Medical Office evaluating us? On what grounds?
I will give you an example.
I heard you were a drunkard.
Then by any chance...
I hope you do not drink when you are treating your patients.
If you do, you will lose a lot of points.
(Despicable)
Hey, have you been keeping tabs on me?
You petty scoundrels.
We will evaluate you based on every little thing you do,
so brace yourselves.
Whether you can receive the money or not...
depends on your score.
What is he saying?
He said we would get a score.
Why, you...
He is annoying.
How obnoxious.
Gye Ji Han will take care of everything,
so put your worries to rest.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
You had better brace yourself.
You have many problems.
I am confident.
You had better get ready.
(Do Not Enter)
- We cannot go in? - What is happening?
- Everyone, leave! - Leave at once!
- Leave. - The clinic is closed.
- Leave at once! - I came all the way here.
Goodness.
- What do we do? - Oh, dear.
Lady Eun Woo, they are scheming against us.
They came down here together to get me in trouble.
I never once met the Princess in private.
I swear, such a thing never happened!
Okay.
But you heard what the Princess said earlier.
"You ought to pay for what you did!"
She said that, right?
Perhaps,
she got this too.
This?
This? Why would I...
This is not fair.
I know you never did such a thing.
You know?
Yes.
Lady Eun Woo, were you trying to trick me?
You, dunce!
Do not be so clingy. Come here.
"Clingy?"
That inspector will pick on you again.
Refrain from drinking for just a few days.
Inspector?
Tell them to count how many times a day...
I relieve myself and tally up our score based on it.
Goodness. With that piece of paper,
they want to meddle in our business.
I will not let it happen.
We will have to comply and soon reopen the clinic.
We are doomed.
Anything can be found when combed through.
Nobody is squeaky clean, you know.
By the looks of it, she is only being this way...
because of a grudge she holds.
What on earth did you and Princess Seo Yi do?
It is not like that. I truly feel misunderstood.
I will keep your secret.
Are you sure nothing happened between you two?
I first met her when she was young...
and have just recently reunited with her.
But she is here along with an inspector.
It means there is a connection.
Either the Princess gave the order,
or they are in it together.
Think long and hard...
before Gyesoo Clinic shuts down forever.
Princess Seo Yi, you, and the inspector.
The three of you must be connected somehow.
I do not wish to stay even less than ten minutes...
in a filthy room like this.
Hand over the money from the privy purse...
and bring me Yoo Se Yeob.
That is a royal asset...
which should be spent on what is appropriate.
Something like a magnificent royal wedding ceremony.
I see you know what is important.
However, I am concerned about anyone getting wind of our deal.
If word gets out,
you will not be able to win Yoo Se Yeob's heart.
Are you threatening me?
I would not even dream of it.
It was just to remind you in case you forgot.
Speak for yourself.
You are the one who promised me with certainty...
that I could return to Hanyang with Se Yeob.
If you fail to deliver, I will have your head.
A royal medical department in a tattered country village?
He aims...
to fill the Medical Office with his own people.
Not just Se Yeob, but also that Gye Ji Han.
We will have to make sure...
that they do not step foot in the Palace again.
Allow me to take on the task.
Do you have a plan in mind?
Before I take on the task, please give me your word.
If I am successful,
you will relinquish your position to me.
You dare to replace me?
No.
I wish to follow in your footsteps...
for you will have moved on to a much higher position.
Let me first hear about this plan of yours.
Your Majesty, in order to designate a clinic...
as a regional medical department,
it must meet the requirements.
Send Physician Jeon Kang Il to the village...
and have him run a fair and thorough investigation.
- Please accept our plea. - Please accept our plea.
(Governor's Office)
Inspectors from the Medical Office are here to audit Gyesoo Clinic?
It being a royal medical department means His Majesty favours the clinic,
so why is it under inspection?
And why did Princess Seo Yi have to accompany them?
I get it.
They got on the bad side of the higher-ups.
Being stationed here is only going to give me a headache.
Do you not agree?
This will not help advance my career.
I would not know, my lord.
- You do not know? - No.
What is it that you know, then?
Does Gyesoo Clinic have many issues?
I highly doubt it.
It is the village's most sought-out clinic.
Is that so?
Inspectors of the Medical Office and Princess Seo Yi?
I am beginning my new post with two unwanted guests in my yard.
Unwanted?
Your Highness.
You just spoke ill of me. "Unwanted," did you say?
Pardon?
Oh, that? What I meant...
is that I am touched with unwanted humbleness...
by your decision to move to such a shabby village.
That is all I meant.
Court Lady Jung, maybe I should have him discarded.
If you discard the man in charge,
who will govern the village?
Please compose yourself.
(Gyesoo Clinic)
What the...
Unbelievable.
Step aside.
Let us through!
This is the only clinic in the village.
How are we to cope?
Whether we die from being untreated...
or from disobeying an order is the same.
I will not go home, so step aside!
The order comes from my superior.
Head on home.
- What? - That is absurd!
- I will not. - Let us through!
- Over here! - No way.
- Just barge in. - Get moving.
Report your findings.
Sure.
Everything about this place is questionable.
Medicinal herbs are handled by a child,
hygiene is a lost concept,
and a sick old lady is among the help.
(Despicable)
What about our Jang Gun?
He is a medicinal herb prodigy...
who is smarter than any other child in the field.
And you question our hygiene?
You cannot see a speck of dust.
Do you have any idea how meticulous Lady Namhae is?
Not even the Medical Office would be this clean.
The judge of that will be me, the inspector.
Who are you to judge me?
I have been running this clinic fair and square...
since before you were even born.
Physician Gye,
there is a huge disparity in the payment you receive.
For the same common cold,
you had Lord Choi pay you with a golden toad,
but Chun Sam received free treatment.
Is this what you mean by a fair and square...
operation?
Since Lord Choi could afford it,
his medicine was brewed...
with expensive ingredients such as antler velvet.
Meanwhile, other patients were given ilmultang.
But those aren't written in there...
because their records are in my head.
(Despicable)
What the...
Fine. Dust us all you want.
You will soon find out that you are wasting your time.
Darn it.
- How did it go? - That darn brat.
His assessment is heavily biased.
Physician Gye!
My Sol is sick.
My stomach hurts, and I keep running to the toilet.
I cannot treat you here, so follow me.
You cannot.
How dare you. Step aside!
You cannot do this.
Come on. Show them what you can do.
How dare you.
Goodness. Is this really necessary?
Do not try so hard.
You lot! You heard the order that was given.
"Until the inspection is completed,"
"Gyesoo Clinic is closed indefinitely."
Only Gyesoo Clinic will be closed.
Nothing is stopping me from treating patients.
Do you hear me?
- Pack your things. - Of course.
- But... - Move!
Move!
(Do Not Enter)
- Physician Gye... - This way.
Over there.
How dare they.
Hurry along.
Continue.
Actually...
This woman is a problem too.
Her husband died, she cut ties with his family,
and as a widow...
What does that have to do with the inspection?
How dare a widow go around pretending to be a physician?
She does not pretend.
She is a physician.
No man or woman...
wishes to lose a spouse.
We are not here...
to nitpick for personal reasons.
We are here to inspect to see if they are worthy...
to uphold His Majesty's command.
I apologize.
Bring this patient.
Skilled female practitioners are hard to find even in the Palace.
You are perfect in every way.
I am still very lacking.
(Excellent)
Barley.
Rice.
You are doing a great job.
Do the whole yard for us.
Oh, dear.
I wish this were over.
My lady. Are you all right?
I am fine.
(Female, aged 46)
What are you doing?
I have other things to do.
(Female, aged 19)
There are patients who wish to see me.
I was not aware of that.
(Female, aged 19)
Sir, I brought the patient you wished to see.
At last.
Lee So Cheon.
So Cheon.
Physician Yoo.
Show your neck and arm.
My gosh.
What a dreadful sight.
How did this physician treat you?
Pardon?
Well...
He gave me good medicinal herbs and...
You are too squeamish to be able to drink a tonic.
I am asking if he treated you...
in any way before your condition worsened.
Well...
Once the pus dries,
I will prescribe an ointment.
The rash and heat should have died down by now.
You cannot get rid of your shadow.
As long as the sun rises,
your shadow will follow you around.
As long as you live,
your body will be attached to your soul.
If your heart aches,
your body aches as well.
Why not use what is inside as ink...
and let it all out on paper?
You need not show it to anyone.
You can keep it to and for yourself.
How about you write your story?
I am always ready to hear your story.
I do not know what inside is hurting you,
but that must come out...
if the rash and pus are to disappear.
All the ex-Medical Office physician...
could suggest you do...
was write?
Well-known authors...
wrote and recited poems to control their emotions.
Also, her skin condition is not merely a skin condition.
How pathetic.
You wish to treat a skin condition with words, not medicine?
The late king also suffered from an itchy skin condition.
It got worse during a famine.
Why do you think that was so?
It was because of his agony.
(Simhwa: Agony, stress)
"Simhwa?"
How can the agony of a king compare to that of a mere commoner?
Her skin condition is caused by stress?
Have you been misleading people with nonsensical diagnoses...
such as these?
(Female, aged 19)
A tonic like Senghyulyoonbueum would have cured her right away.
We tried that medicine long ago.
You should read the records more thoroughly.
Fine, if you were correct and this is a sickness of the soul,
you should have cured it too.
Do you call this cured?
You must learn to wait when treating an illness that takes time.
What physician always rushes to diagnose and treat?
Let go immediately!
You dare try to lecture a Medical Office inspector?
- Oh, no. - So Cheon.
Move aside.
What are you doing?
- Move them! - Sir.
[VIU Ver] tvN S02E03 'Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist' "Momentary Peacefulness At Gyesoo Clinic" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Are you all right?
Yes. I am fine.
Wow. Just like my young master when he was in his prime.
Do you call yourself a physician?
While you hesitated instead of administering acupuncture,
she almost died.
They are cooked.
First come, first served.
We cooked a lot, so take your time.
This is much more fun than when we were at the clinic.
You should do this here every day.
Shall we? Tomorrow, shall we cook Jeon?
- Yes! - Sounds good!
Are you all here to eat?
We might go bankrupt!
We will not go bankrupt. We will become rich.
I said we have nothing to worry.
Even without the clinic,
we will all find a way to go on.
It is like seeing my love while picking berries.
So sour.
Go along with your dad.
I really do not think you should do this.
Darn you.
You have not met the new district governor, have you?
He is ugly, and his temper is just as nasty.
Plus, he is extra interested in you because of the inspection.
Would he be any different from the last one?
They are all the same.
Physician Gye. This one is different, okay?
His ancestors were all ministers,
and he hails from a rich family in Suncheon.
Also...
He had a younger brother...
who was caught eloping with his love.
There is talk he beat his own brother to death.
What is the new district governor's name?
It is Ahn Hak Soo.
Ahn Hak Soo?
Is that really his name?
Do you know him?
How would I know him?
Thank you.
Here you go.
Sure. What do you need treated?
My sore knees.
- Oh, boy. - You are back.
Gosh, my back.
Those scoundrels made such a scene, saying they had to inspect us.
They will not even let us treat our patients!
Those scoundrels!
It is your fault for mentioning the money from the King's privy purse.
You certainly have a knack for causing problems.
Ip Bun, you must watch your mouth from now on.
And do not go out by yourself.
If anyone asks you what your mother's name is...
Forget it. Who would ask you?
What? So I am not to speak or to go out?
What will happen if I do? Will I die?
You brat. Do not forget what I said.
You did a foolish thing in Hanyang too.
I heard even Lady Namhae nearly lost all her money because of you.
Why would you bring that up now?
Hey!
Behave yourself first! Gye Ji Han, you dunderhead.
Granny, you are the best!
Do not call me that. Say that to him!
How is So Cheon?
Do not worry. She is asleep now.
You!
Do you now remember what you did to the Princess?
Goodness. I thought you were a dunce.
But you have got some nerve.
They say it is always the quiet ones you have to watch out for.
Clearly, he knows that he is good-looking.
- Womaniser. - Womaniser.
Physician Yoo is a womaniser.
What? I told you.
In Hanyang, women were all over...
Right. In the palace,
court maids from that corner to all the way over here...
would faint at the sight of him.
Hey, when did I...
Lady Eun Woo.
You know that my heart is...
She is upset. Gosh, you fool.
- Womaniser. - Womaniser.
(Hot New Release, Volume 6 of "The Story of So Cheon")
All right!
Get a taste of everything that could happen between a man and a woman.
The protagonist of the story, Poong,
causes the whirlwind of love.
This one book can easily beat every novel in the world.
It is the greatest romance novel in Joseon!
("The Story of So Cheon")
Come and get it!
- Run! - I must get this.
- Here. - I want a copy too.
Your Highness.
How much longer will you stay here?
It has already been four hours.
You were worried that you would be spanked for reading such a book.
No!
Pardon me? What is the matter?
"I will teach you a lesson."
What did I do this time?
"I will teach your heart a lesson."
"Or will you accept my love?"
My gosh, this is so much fun!
This is so engaging. Why did not discover this sooner?
Court Lady Jung, what have you been doing?
Right, it is all my fault.
In the palace, I only read conduct books for ladies.
It is fun to spend some time outside the palace walls.
Especially Poong, the main character.
He makes my heart flutter.
I suppose you have no idea how that feels.
What do you mean I have no idea?
For a long time, I have had romantic feelings for...
Actually, you are right. I have no idea.
This will not do. I must buy every book here.
Every single book here?
Especially this series. I love it so much.
Hold on. Who wrote this?
("The Story of So Cheon," Volume 1)
I see. Lee So Cheon.
I like you, Lee So Cheon.
Now, I shall go see Yoo Se Yeob.
All of a sudden?
I came all the way here. I cannot believe he has not visited me once.
But I want to see him.
I shall visit him since I wish to see him.
Your Highness, I am afraid someone will hear you.
Physician Jeon.
Please spare me a moment.
I did not know I would meet you again here.
And I did not imagine you would be such a skilled physician.
I, too, had no idea we would meet again under these circumstances.
Are you referring to the inspection?
Who are you...
Who are you, really?
Pardon me?
I...
really am not sure.
I am not on his side.
I am a nice person.
You seem nice, but...
We are not here to nitpick for personal reasons.
You seem like a fair, just person, but...
You dare try to lecture a Medical Office inspector?
You can be very harsh and cold.
Especially to Physician Yoo.
May I ask you why?
You always surprise me by being so unpredictable.
I thought you would be excited to see me again as well.
I am a physician too, before I am an inspector.
I, too, hope that the patients can receive the treatment they need...
and recover soon.
I truly hope you know that.
What do you mean by that?
I am telling you that I will carry out the inspection fairly.
That is what you wanted to hear. Am I wrong?
The records tell me that you are an incredibly talented physician.
You will save many lives.
I owe it all to Physician Yoo.
He taught me all the medical skills that I know.
What are those two talking about?
Was she not glued to Yoo Se Yeob earlier?
Your Highness, about Jeon Kang Il...
Can we really trust him?
He truly gets on my nerves.
Shall I tell him?
Oh, Your Highness the Princess!
What a coincidence.
Who are you? Do I know you?
I used to work in the Medical Office.
I was one of the most handsome men in the palace.
Once you see my face, you can never forget me.
He is a mere physician.
He visited the palace with Physician Yoo.
Well, you look familiar for some reason.
Have we met before?
Do you know each other?
How would I know...
a physician working in the boondocks?
Boondocks? Come on.
It is much better than working in the Medical Office.
What did that dunce...
do to you, Your Highness?
I will teach him a serious lesson.
Dunce?
Why are you calling Yoo Se Yeob like that?
Oh, by any chance...
Do you have a crush on him?
He had a crush on me first.
I am Yoo Se Yeob's first love.
I knew it! That dunce...
I totally knew it.
Your Highness, do not worry about a thing now.
I will make sure you win his heart.
First, return to the palace...
with those inspector jerks. Then...
He is all talk, Your Highness.
Do not listen to him.
Goodness. How rude.
You do not even know me well.
Kind words...
express the warmth of your heart.
That is how you can win someone's heart.
Kind words? That is rich coming from you.
Everyone will laugh at you.
Kind words? What is that?
It is such a beautiful day, right?
Whatever.
You said you used to work in the Medical Office.
Did you wrong Court Lady Jung in the past or something?
Why does she hate you so much?
Is it because you work in the boondocks?
Use kind words, please.
Well, I am not sure.
I suppose she gets shy when she sees a handsome man.
I said I would escort her to the governor's office by myself.
Why are you following us?
I was just...
Wait, did I make some kind of mistake in the past?
Did I borrow money from you?
What is going on?
I feel like it is something I would read about in a romance novel.
You woke up.
Physician Yoo,
I have put you in a tight spot.
I apologize.
Anyone bound for greatness will accept the hardships...
and use what is learned to become a better person.
For that reason, you do not have to worry about me.
But only if you see me as someone bound for greatness.
Physician Yoo...
Are you saying...
you do not?
Do you see me as someone petty?
Of course not.
Because you are a great man,
I get to rest in your shadows.
You really have a way with words.
Writing is what you must do.
I am sorry, Physician Yoo.
But I...
I will try to muster up the courage.
Sure.
Have you decided what to write about?
Just like you suggested,
I have been writing about my life.
A piece that is only for my eyes to see.
Good. And you will soon be free of your illness.
What could be the reason...
behind the slow progress of her skin condition?
Well...
Tomorrow, we should visit the paper mill she works at.
Why?
Because there is no reason for her condition to worsen.
Could she be working too hard?
Or could there be another reason?
We should check.
Right. That sounds like a good idea.
Wait.
Physician Yoo.
Physician Yoo!
Physician Yoo, please come out.
Where are you?
Hurry!
What is the matter?
Physician Yoo, is So Cheon not here?
What is the matter?
She is Jung Soon,
So Cheon's colleague at the paper mill.
So Cheon is gone.
Hold on.
Calm yourself down and tell me what happened.
It was going to be a busy day at the paper mill,
so I went to work at the crack of dawn.
I could not shake the image of So Cheon leaving without a word.
She seemed determined to do something.
So...
Did she not head home?
We are coming from her house...
and anywhere else she could have gone.
For a few days now,
she has been saying that life is taking a toll on her.
Could she be thinking of doing the unimaginable?
She is someone we think of as family.
If something were to happen to her,
I could not live with the guilt...
Goodness.
- Lay her down inside. - Sure.
Lady Eun Woo.
I...
I could not tell her that it would not happen.
Could she be thinking of doing the unimaginable?
I know I should not have,
but dark thoughts clouded my mind,
and I could not give her an answer.
It was pathetic of me.
It is not pathetic at all.
You were also...
just as worried.
Rather than blaming yourself,
we should do what must be done.
I will head to So Cheon's house.
She might have come back.
And you...
You should care for her friend.
Do not overexert yourself though.
Can I play with you?
- Of course. - Sure.
Sure.
I will make it stand strong.
Here.
What...
Mother!
Mother.
Father!
You there.
Are you all right?
Physician Yoo.
Where is So Cheon?
Everyone is looking for her,
so please gather your strength.
I should have...
treated her more thoroughly.
Please do not say that.
I heard that you and the people at this clinic...
took great care of her.
Here is some food for you.
Thank you.
Come on. I will walk you home.
Of course.
Hurry along.
Let us go.
So Cheon has a strong soul,
so nothing will happen to her.
Get some more rest and leave us to find So Cheon.
Also, do not worry too much.
These were So Cheon's.
I brought them with me hoping that they could help us.
They would. I am glad you brought them.
(The Story of So Cheon)
The pages have been painted over.
I wonder why.
Lately, she started to passionately write in her notebook,
but then she painted over the pages with ink.
Maybe that was when...
she decided to end her life.
I should have asked once more.
If only I had asked her...
why she was doing this.
I do not deserve...
to be her friend.
Please do not think that way.
Young Master!
So Cheon!
What happened to her?
Lay her down over here.
What happened?
Children found her washed up on a river bank.
She had a pulse although weak,
so I brought her here instead of the governor's office.
We do not have any first-aid medicine.
I have some haedokdan on hand.
Bring me that and some ginger water.
Got it.
Should I carry her inside?
Not when the flow of her energy and blood is unstable.
Lady Namhae, bring me warm water. Ip Bun, a cotton comforter.
Granny, a dry cloth.
Halt!
Remove that man.
Step back!
Good. Her pulse is returning.
Do not just stand there! Stop them.
What did I do wrong?
Why are you stopping us from treating a gravely ill patient?
That patient...
tried to kill herself.
I will look into this case carefully.
Suicide?
There is no way So Cheon would do that.
You could have cured her sooner with acupuncture.
You missed out on the timing...
and that caused your patient to try to commit suicide.
Acupuncture is not the only treatment.
Physician Yoo tried other...
Other treatments? By trying to heal the heart?
Was leaving her until her condition got this bad...
really a treatment?
Take him to the governor's office immediately!
I will investigate him there in person and in private.
- What does that mean? - No, wait. Young master.
Young master. Wait a minute.
A special private investigation?
Yes. He yelled so ferociously and dragged Physician Yoo off.
With you not here,
we could not complain or fight back!
I worked hard on a special patient to make sure...
our clinic did not get shut down.
We must go and save him.
I think he has a personal grudge with Physician Yoo.
This investigator fool.
I played along because I thought it was for show.
He keeps going further and further.
We should go to the governor's office.
Physician Yoo tends to get fired up when he is alone...
with the investigator.
- Yes, My lady. We should go. - Yes.
- Go. - Come along.
(Governor's Office)
Jeon Kang Il, that fool. What? "A lavish wedding ceremony?"
What a joke.
He dare treat my future husband like a criminal?
There is no way...
So Cheon considered suicide.
How long will you make your patients suffer for your arrogance?
(I have become...)
I have become...
one with my illness and live because I cannot die.
Now...
I will become one with the river and die because I cannot live.
(Live because I cannot die, die because I cannot live)
It is a suicide note.
It was found on her.
You cannot, my lady.
I have something to tell you. Please let me in!
Get out of the way. Move.
- You punk. - How dare you?
What woman dares to enter...
the governor's office this late and raise her voice?
Why have you not dragged them out yet?
She is the daughter of the previous governor.
What?
The previous governor's daughter.
Oh, goodness, I see.
If that is the case,
that is even more reason for you to remain in your room.
I heard she was a widow, but her hair is braided like a virgin's.
That is not at all ladylike.
An innocent physician was brought in.
Since when have investigations been done this willy-nilly?
Who are you...
Me? Were you saying that about me?
She said that about you!
What the...
Oh, dear.
You must be the new district governor.
My eyes have gotten dim with age, and I did not recognize you.
You are Governor Ahn Hak Soo, yes?
Oh, you must be the people from that darn Gyesoo Clinic...
that cause unrest with your stupid antics.
You are a fellow physician, so I will hear what you have to say.
Come in.
You stand to benefit the most once this investigation ends.
Turning the man I like into a criminal will benefit me?
What Yoo Se Yeob last said to you in the Palace.
Do you remember what it was?
I will marry you.
My home is at Sorak Village.
And I have much to do at the clinic there.
So please rescind your command.
You saw us?
Yoo Se Yeob considers this village clinic his home...
- and the people his family. - What?
What would happen if you forced him to stay away?
He would fight even harder to stay.
You must destroy what he cherishes...
to make him leave voluntarily.
- Voluntarily? - Yes, voluntarily.
Yoo Se Yeob will become yours and yours alone.
You have no need for anything that keeps him from caring for you.
Are you saying you will see to it he will have nothing left but me?
Is that not how far you are willing to go to get him?
You could find another way.
Did you have to lock him up?
You must release him as soon as the investigation is over.
Do you understand?
Physician Yoo.
Lady Eun Woo.
Cheer up.
You did your best to treat So Cheon.
Everyone who knows you knows that.
The investigator has to be mistaken.
He is berating me, saying he found a suicide note.
Now...
I will become one with the river and die because I cannot live.
Could So Cheon really have tried to kill herself?
I cannot believe it.
Right before, we cracked jokes...
and even laughed.
This suicide note.
Do you not find it strange?
You delayed the treatment of a suffering patient.
You only talked about treating and curing her.
Do you admit to masquerading...
as a physician when you lack the ability?
He did his best to...
Physician Yoo was the one who treated Lee So Cheon.
I will hear from him.
Treating So Cheon's illness from the root cause...
takes time.
No.
Your arrogance caused a patient's death.
Did you not put the value of your treatment...
over the suffering of your patient?
That is preposterous.
Does a physician who cannot save a patient...
deserve to be a physician?
Can you truly...
call yourself a physician?
Then show me.
Administer acupuncture...
right here and now.
Why?
You cannot do it?
I no longer administer acupuncture.
You no longer do it? The truth is, you cannot do it.
It is So Cheon's handwriting.
(I have become...)
As a psychiatrist, I will help So Cheon so she can recover on her own.
If I fail, I will give up everything.
So I can...
do something for you too.
What is Physician Yoo planning?
Why did he tell us to cook a feast so early?
I bet you are so grateful to me...
that you are at a loss for words.
All of us will help you.
Will you do me a favour?
