Sungha has left a present for her – a box of acupuncture needles. Jinyung doesn’t find out he’s gone until it’s too late – she rushes to the port but (as always) the boat has already left. Their old home is now a clinic but he’s happy about that. They just chat about old times playing together as kids. First he visits Jinyung but he doesn’t tell her that he is leaving Joseon. Sungha gets ready to leave Joseon to study in Qing. The herb merchants complain about the reforms Kwanghyun is making! Of course this upsets the herb merchants and doctors who will lose money and so they try to complain. So they must find ways to get cheaper herbs – from herb merchants as well as recruiting locals to find medicinal herbs in the mountains.
#HORSE DOCTOR SUB INDO FREE#
Kwanghyun wants to start other welfare clinics where treatment is free for the poor. Kwanghyun makes lots of unpopular changes as the Royal Physician 😉 He tells his team that they will not be helping the noblemen from now on – in their spare time they will work at the welfare clinic helping the commoners! And he wants any extra herbs not needed at the royal pharmacy to be shared with the welfare clinic – instead of kept for wealthy private patients … But he hasn’t been in the job for five minutes before he starts making unpopular changes. The officials try to get the queen mother on their sideįinally Kwanghyun appears before the hospital staff in his red official robes – he is a yong-gam (see how people at court were addressed during the Joseon period here). ( And about time too!) And she’s realised that you don’t always have to follow the rules! The officials are shocked and stunned. And – well, this is a first – she actually supports Kwanghyun! Since he also saved her life and the king’s life she trusts Kwanghun more than any other doctor to look after them. The queen mother calls for Kwanghyun to join them in her chambers. So is the queen mother going to side with them or Kwanghyun this time? She’s usually strict on “following the rules.”īut the only reason they can give her is that Kwanghyun didn’t pass the state medical exam. She is the only one who can influence the king to change his mind. The officials storm off to see the queen mother to complain hoping for her support as usual. And he can use his power as the royal physician for good use.ĭr Saam persuades Kwanghyun that the position will be good for him So if he wants to help the poor he can do it in his spare time. But Dr Saam points out that he doesn’t JUST have to be the king’s doctor – he can do other work on the side. In fact Kwanghyun doesn’t actually want the job either! He knows that power is trouble and only wants to be a DOCTOR. Kwanghyun is very unpopular with the high officials So they stage a strike! The king turns up to the daily meeting to find that half of the officials aren’t there! And he is FUMING about this! They ask the king to change his mind but he REFUSES. The high officials (including the one who took over from Lord Jung whose title is 좌상 대감 chwa-sang dae-gam) is also against Kwanghyun’s promotion – since Kwanghyun refused to side with him, he doesn’t want him rising to power. 어아가 없다 means unbelievable/amazing) He says this grumpily and means ‘unbelievable’ in a bad way 😕 “ (the fact that) Baek Kwanghyun is the royal physician, I honestly can’t believe.” (royal physician- o-ui – and ‘unbelievable’ o-i – sound very similar. The teacher shows his displeasure through word play …He saysīaek Kwanghyun-i o-ui ra-ni ne ga chin-cha o-i ga op-gu-man …
Of course his supporters are elated, but not everyone is pleased.
So Kwanghyun now has a new title – Royal Physician Baek! (백 어의 Baek o-ui) But there are mixed reactions to Kwanghyun’s promotion. But on a happier note, there IS a wedding to prepare for …
But just because Kwanghyun has become the royal physician doesn’t mean he’s going to stop being controversial! He causes a stir when he shakes up the royal pharmacy and upsets the herb merchants.
