Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist (Joseon Psychiatrist Yoo Se-Poong / Joseon Jungshingwa Uisa Yoosepoong / 조선 정신과 의사 유세풍)

- Yes! - Hey, wait for us!

Eun Woo.

Sin Woo.

I heard the Second State Councilor adopted you.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing out this late?

And who is he?

Oh, he is a village physician.

A physician?

What is wrong? Are you unwell?

I am fine now.

She married into the Cheongsong Lee clan.

If someone were to see her out late with a man,

she could get into trouble.

So be very cautious.

What trouble could come of a physician accompanying a patient?

You could cause gossip!

If I were to ignore a patient for fear of gossip,

what a dreadful physician I would be.

I will get going, then.

How do you know the angry nobleman?

My father was once his teacher.

Were you offended?

If he spoke that way for you, out of concern, I do not mind.

Did you hear that?

Yes.

I must check what it was.

In person, you mean?

Physician Yoo. Did you just see that white thing fly by?

I am sure it was a wide animal.

It must have been.

There used to be white deer and white sable,

but they were hunted for the king and are now obsolete.

Was it... a ghost?

No, right?

If you care not for ghosts,

even they can cause you no harm.

Who said that?

Zhuangzi did, in one of his books.

Oh, I see.

I will escort you safely back to your father's office.

Did they all starve to death?

Lady Namhae, you are back.

Who is this man with a healthy appetite?

He is the man who follows our dear Physician Yoo around.

Show me what you are hiding.

What? What am I hiding?

Ip Bun!

I told you so many times that jeon...

is all about its looks.

Take a large scoop and make it nice and round.

Nice and round. Ip Bun.

Come on.

Eat as much as you want.

Ip Bun, must you dirty your face while cooking?

She is here!

Come in and eat with us.

Join us!

My gosh, Lady Seo. Welcome.

Join us for some food.

It will taste quite good this time.

I see that the family has grown a lot while I was away.

Feed them well.

We all ate the food she cooked to survive, so we are nearly dying.

Father!

Gumiho is rumored to have returned last night,

so please stay safe.

- Rumors are already rampant. - Gumiho?

Gumiho killed someone in Mount Sorak...

and took the liver again.

The same gumiho from last year?

But I thought they had already caught the culprit.

Another murder has occurred.

Chil Sung actually stopped by early in the morning...

to tell me they needed help with the autopsy.

I have to send someone.

Yes! You, dunce. You should go.

You cannot even administer acupuncture anyway.

A physician's job differs...

from that of a pathologist's and prosecutor's.

Why must I go there?

They do not send pathologists to a small rural village like this.

Local physicians are expected to help out!

Yes, I understand.

Lady Seo.

Were you working on the farm early in the morning?

My gosh.

You are eating faster and more than he is.

Oh, this hurts my pride.

When it comes to eating, I have never let anyone beat me.

When I am thinking about something,

I eat nonstop.

This is very delicious.

Are you still bothered by what you saw in the woods last night?

Yes, a similar case took place last year.

It was a murder made to look as if a gumiho had killed the victim.

But earlier, they said the culprit had already been caught.

Yes, already caught and punished.

That is the problem.

People might accuse my father of a faulty investigation.

I am certain that he will be in a pickle.

By the way, how come you know so much about it?

Oh.

As a maiden, I used to assist at the Autopsy Office.

Is that so? You personally examined bodies?

Then please come with me.

You must remember the details of the investigation.

But if I go to the office,

people may gossip.

I am certain that it will help the district governor.

I am aware that you know a lot about the case,

but you cannot be seen here.

Take a quick look and leave.

Yes.

Physician Yoo, you need to see this.

Oh, dear.

This is different from last year's case.

Both corpses are missing their livers.

But last year, the wound was a straight line.

And the cut was not caused by a sharp edge.

The culprit was a woodcutter.

He used his ax to kill the victim,

and the edges looked rugged because of the dull blade.

Then do you think this is another murder...

made to look like a gumiho incident?

Yes. This was not done on impulse.

I believe it was planned thoroughly in advance.

The culprit is highly intelligent and knowledgeable.

It must be someone who harbors a grudge against you or the victim.

I am truly impressed, Lady Seo.

Have you managed to identify the victim yet?

There is no identification tag, and the face has been damaged.

I believe it will take some time.

The type of knife that butchers use...

was found near the body.

The constables are searching the village to find the owner.

Sir, we have a problem.

The royal inspector from Hanyang is here.

And...

Commander Im is here too.

If Commander Im finds out that you are here,

he will not let it slide.

Prepare for a meeting.

Yes, sir.

Gosh, seriously! Move!

Governor Seo, are you here?

I am coming in.

This is where we perform autopsies.

You cannot come in here.

Another gumiho incident has occurred.

It means that the person you caught was not the real culprit.

You did a terrible job with the investigation,

so you should not be in charge of this case.

Please come in.

Sin Woo.

How dare you. He is the royal inspector...

who is here on His Majesty's orders.

Be polite!

I am here as a royal inspector.

An incident took place before I could formally introduce myself,

so let us skip the formalities.

Please give me access to all the records.

I will.

The corpse is here,

so let us leave this room.

After you.

By the way, why did you...

hide?

I wonder too.

Why was the knife left at the scene when it was the murder weapon?

Was it a mistake?

It is suspicious that the knife looks barely used.

How have you been?

My sister-in-law.

What brings you here?

Oh, I happened to be just walking by.

My brother's memorial ceremony is around the corner.

I suppose you are still not well enough yet.

I will explain your situation to Mother.

Please focus on your recovery.

I will do my best to treat her.

Let us go.

How come this is all you have?

We lost most of the investigation records in a fire...

while transporting them, so that is all we have left.

What a mess.

In any case, we have a new case now.

Hence, the man you caught last year, Kim Dol Seok,

is innocent. Am I wrong?

We cannot assume that this is the same case.

We are still investigating it.

Governor, I am appalled...

that you did such a clumsy job with the investigation.

All is well with the Second State Councilor, right?

Wherever I am and whatever I do,

I always wish him good fortune.

I need you to visit your hometown for a short while.

Is there something you need me to do?

Go there...

and find the man named Yoo Se Yeob.
