by Unit

Our passionate resident physician continues to unfold heat to the hearts of his sufferers, and our intern physician is catching up shortly. In the meantime in Hanyang, our villain continues to unfold his tentacles all over the place in a bid to cowl up his crime, however that is proving to be more durable than he anticipated.

 
EPISODES 5-6 WEECAP

We choose up from final week, with Poong and Eun-woo headed for the docks to deliver the killer to justice, and Man-bok being led to the execution floor. It’s a little bit of a tense second for a frightened Man-bok because the executioner (who has been bribed by Ji-han to stall) teases him with the sword. Okay, why are Joseon executioners all the time so dramatic? The execution is halted when Poong arrives with the killer who’s formally arrested after the noble girl provides an eyewitness account of the homicide. A relieved Man-bok collapses in Poong’s arms and in a while will get a luxurious feast on the clinic to welcome him again from the land of the almost-dead. I don’t see tofu wherever in these dishes although. Heh.

Apparently, the fiancé banned the noble girl from enjoying her geomungo (a conventional stringed instrument) fearing the music would entice different males to her. However her manservant inspired her to play and even carved a stick for her to strum the strings with. On discovering out, the fiancé had destroyed the geomungo and that was when she ran away with the manservant on the ill-fated journey within the mountains. On checking the noble girl’s pulse once more, Eun-woo notes that she is getting higher, and her hand tremors are gone — because of her act of standing up for herself on the docks through the use of her strumming persist with poke her fiancé within the neck. And that is yet one more case of a personality on this drama being the one to ultimately save themselves.

Our subsequent affected person is the son of a mistress who’s introduced in by the girl of the home (probably the most influential madam within the village, because of her standing as considered one of a earlier king’s granddaughters). The younger boy is introduced in for hallucinations, however because the docs undress him for remedy, they discover seen bruises from bodily abuse. Everybody within the clinic has good issues to say in regards to the madam, they usually don’t suppose she is behind it. However the scenario worries Poong because the boy suffers from extreme dehydration as effectively.

On taking the boy house, Poong notes that his household is fairly dysfunctional – the daddy has anger points and hits his sons, the stepbrothers bully the boy, and the boy’s pregnant mom (mistress) doesn’t regard the madam. Although the mistress seems to be deeply involved about her son, for some purpose, I’m not satisfied. Eun-woo pleads with Shin-woo to research the matter, however he’s nonetheless upset that she has chosen to align herself with the clinic. And we be taught that his chilly perspective in direction of the district governor is as a result of the governor rejected his marriage proposal to Eun-woo.

When the Shin-woo angle doesn’t work, Eun-woo briefly returns to her married girl’s coiffure and attends her mom’s tea celebration to glean info from the madam who is among the friends. It seems to be a promising begin because the madam is impressed by Eun-woo and needs her to go to their house to take her pulse. Poong presents Eun-woo together with his acupuncture equipment and although she’s a bit hesitant to simply accept it, she guarantees to be his fingers pending the time he is ready to carry out acupuncture once more. Awww. However the stunning second is witnessed by Shin-woo who’s now underneath his father’s orders to kill Poong discreetly.

On visiting the madam, Poong diagnoses her with heartache from all of the happenings within the household, significantly the mistress’s apparent disregard for her. To alleviate these signs, Eun-woo performs her first official acupuncture on the madam. Yaay! However her husband is extra into shamanism than medication, and he orders the docs out of his home… however they’re quickly recalled by a servant when the younger boy reaches the brink of loss of life. Eun-woo is just too nervous to carry out the acupuncture, however with Poong’s assist, she is ready to revive the boy. The mistress then accuses the madam of making an attempt to curse her son to loss of life, and the superstitious husband locks his spouse up. Tsk.

Poong items issues collectively and discovers that the boy’s hallucinations and dehydration are brought on by frequent salt poisoning. To search out the offender, our clinic household phases an elaborate efficiency and catches the mistress red-handed as she mixes a heap of salt into the porridge meant for her son (or Man-bok, who hides underneath the covers and pretends to be the son. Heh.) The mistress’s endgame was to border the madam for her son’s eventual loss of life after which develop into the girl of the home.

Livid that she has been uncovered, she prices at Poong with a knife and finally ends up stabbing Eun-woo who jumps to Poong’s protection. However to our collective reduction, the acupuncture equipment underneath Eun-woo’s garments prevents the knife from hurting her. Anyway, because of this dramatic second, we get a swoony I-really-thought-I-was-going-to-lose-you hug between Poong and Eun-woo, so I’m not complaining.

The madam, who has lastly had sufficient of her husband’s shenanigans, leaves for Hanyang together with her sons, together with the mistress’s son – who has lastly acquired an apology from his step bullies brothers. Ji-han has additionally spoken with a colleague in Hanyang to show the boy medication (his dream profession), and the complete clinic household is joyful that he’ll be superb any further.

The happiest member of the household, although, is Jang-goon, whom we be taught was in the same scenario with the boy. Abused and uncared for by his personal father, Ji-han had paid the daddy to sever ties with Jang-goon, and introduced him again to the clinic to deal with and lift him afterwards. Awww. Now I ponder how Nam-hee got here to dwell with them too.

Again in Hanyang, phrase spreads in regards to the late king’s poisoning, and the second state councilor is in a rush to cowl his tracks. Up to now, he has intercepted one of many king’s individuals who is near figuring out the herb used within the poisoning, and destroyed the medical textual content the place the herb and its capabilities are highlighted. However with an oblivious Poong discovering the half-burnt medical textual content hidden in a ground panel within the clinic, it appears the second state councilor’s tracks haven’t been utterly coated. In a approach, this medical textual content additionally serves to hyperlink Ji-han to the scenario, and I ponder what he is aware of about that herb.

Up to now we all know that Ji-han and Poong’s father had been good associates earlier than Ji-han was fired from the medical workplace – though he’s simply discovering out from his colleague in Hanyang that Poong’s father is useless — and it’s solely a matter of time earlier than Poong learns that each males had been associates. Particularly now that he has secretly witnessed Shin-woo drawing a sword to Ji-han’s neck to ask him questions in regards to the colour change within the needle used within the late king’s deadly acupuncture. Shin-woo obtained the needle from the physique of Poong’s father, and has been in search of the herb that may trigger the colour change. He even asks at an area pharmacy the place he’s overheard by Commander Im who will certainly use this info for one thing sketchy…

I discover this somewhat odd, although, as a result of the colour change is supposedly from the poison. And because the son of the poison mastermind, shouldn’t Shin-woo already know this? Shin-woo continues to curiosity me as a result of I can’t learn him. His unpredictability has even been famous by the second state councilor, who admitted that he makes Shin-woo stain his fingers with blood in an effort to use it as leverage ought to Shin-woo try and betray him. No one is aware of the place Shin-woo’s true loyalty lies, however proper now, it’s secure to imagine he’s on his father’s facet. Fortunately, Poong has seen him in his ingredient, and may know to be cautious of him going ahead.

Truly, the complete clinic household must be cautious of each Commander Im the opportunist, and Shin-woo the unpredictable (particularly Ib-bun who has a crush on each single good-looking man who visits the clinic). Each males are very able to eliminating anybody who stands of their approach. However as we’ve seen, regardless of his gruffness and seeming nonchalance, Ji-han isn’t simply intimidated, and it’s very reassuring to have him as the pinnacle of our beloved clinic household.
