The Painter Of The Wind
Episode 1
The journey paint from life
Now I would like to tell a story about a person,
my feelings are indeed of mixed of gladness with joy & pain with sadness.
When I think of her, I will feel glad with joy,
however if I were to have lost her,
I will be ridden with pain of sadness.
She is already my student, my teacher
my friend
& also my love
The year 1777 the 1st year of Jeongjo reigns.
What are you doing?
Yes is yes. No is no.
Is it blue or red? Aigoo!
Come, it had been 3 years that we have yet had a competition to compete.
Presenting the blue “must win”, Jang Hyo Won.
Presenting the red, Royal Bureau of painting “odd ball” Shin Yun Bok.
Look & See! Both parties have adjusted their intake of the inks in their brush.
Look! These two concentrated competitor’s eyes are not of the ordinary.
By the looks of it, they are ready.
They already have given the signal.
Fine! Now …begin!
If you want to succeed in this competition, the brush tip must be hold very upright to have bring out the full capacity of the brush
This is true
It looks like Shin Yun Bok’s brush looks bend. It is bent
No, it can’t be, it can’t be. It looks like the ink is running out.
Ah! It is a battle strategy, strategy.
This brush techniques is rare to be seen in 10 years
It is alright…alright…Jang Hyo Won, it is alright.
There is more after this, he still can go on. It is alright
Are you going to surrender? I am doing this for you is because I felt a great pity towards you
You already know your own limits, to say such things
Doing well, doing well, only this paint brush can determine the winner, the painter’s exams, you can breeze through it with flying colours
Yes it is. You need to be used to the big brush that is from Qing Dynasty
Yes it is true, it is true. Men! This is the main point.
Is it there a lack of substance? The ink is now exceeding the paper
The paper, the paper is running out
How can the paper run out?
If I had to lose to a feminine weak person like you, I wouldn’t have started this competition
What is there in that fist of yours?
You, little boy is looking for a fight
Why you have now reached to this stage, you want to give up?
Really! You are really talkative. Sheng Tu Jang (Apprentice)! Thank you
Come & look, this…win!!!!!!!
What had happened?
This….isn’t there some problem that arise from this matter…this
Shut up!
Beautiful, isn't it? I have the opportunity to be able to use this precious brush from Qing Dynasty. I will treasure it
It looks like a pig wearing a necklace in its neck. You little boy is worthy enough to use this brush
Why?
Hate to part with it?
Then, you just need to address me as “Hyung Nim” (elder brother)
You little brat!
3….2….
Yah!
1
Hyung Nim
Aigoo! Said it a wee bit too slow. I will use this well.
Actually, this belong to my father
A man should honour his own words.
& not like as a “wench”
Wench? How dare you call me a wench?
How dare you call me a wench?
What is it? What?
What are you all group of people doing here?
Do you wish to make a journey to paint from life?
Do you wish not to go?
No…no…
Hasten & prepare well, Students.
If I count up to 10 & if it is not prepare well, all will be cancelled
Teacher!!!
1…2….3!!!!!!
Where have all apprentices gone to?
Why are you here doing it?
Pil Chul Orrishin, (his court rank) you are here
Why do I not see a single apprentice here?
This is the day in Spring season where journey of paint from life “Wei you Sa Sheng” commences
Wei You Sa Sheng ?
The journey of paint from life.
We are in the midst of painting the imperial dragon & today are the day to take this journey.
Do you have any brains in that head of yours?
This is from Il Chul (Shin Hang Pyeong) Orrishin’s request to have these practices every year
That stubborn idiot…really
Today is decree that we should draw the imperial dragon, all nation have been commanded.
However, to miss this great eye opening beautiful spring day, this lesson in the journey to the outdoors.
I as the teacher how can I stop you from appreciating such journey?
Do you understand?
Yes. Thank you, Teacher
Fine…Fine.
I will bear all responsibilities. We will take this opportunity.
We are in the service of the Royal household artist; we need to put utmost effort in to it & not to be lack. Do you understand?
Yes
What is there to see over there?
Aigoo! This group of women are really soft & gentle.
Which “giban” (House of courtesan) do they belong to? Look at the woman who is wearing red
You really have no hind sight.
Look carefully the one who is at the back row, that she is the lead.
Do you know?
Ah! This looks prosperous
Prosperous?
Prosperous in flesh is prosperous.
This is to say this woman had the most prosperity
This is how the Yanban looks at gisaengs. Both eyes open wide
Aigoo! When was the time that you can fully understand women?
Hundred flowers blossom with many school of thoughts, round fat & slim thin, there are many different types.
The matter is which you prefer. Do you understand?
Hyung Nim, how many women have you seen that you have already understand?
1…2…3…4
Then, which type do you like?
I? Can’t say?
You wenches behind, why are you simply sending smiles?
Did I said before without my permission, you are forbidden not to cry nor smile
You little brats, what are you staring at?
When I was a Royal bureau artist, I wasn’t moved by any woman.
Look at you boys, just look at what you are doing?
I really shouldn’t have brought you all out.
Aigoo! Do you not want to draw, isn’t it?
No, we want to!!!!
Little brats. You have the evening to finish your drawing & after that you will regroup here at this location, do you understand?
Yes
This…this… this…really
I’m off
Yes. This is an outdoor excursion to paint, just treat as a form of relaxation. Just relax to draw your painting
Yes
Abuji, I also off
Yes. Please look after him.
You should know him. His future is not just limits to being just a Royal Bureau artist.
There will be a day he will become excel as a master painter of his own rights.
This will bring great fame & reputation to our Shin family
If you don’t ask of me, I will also do the same & look after him well
Fine. I trust you. Carry on
You have arrived; the person had waited for you for a while?
All this years, there weren’t any news of you
I wanted to wander around to contemplate my feelings & have contemplated many thousand & hundred of things not for myself
Don’t you & I have something of a past promises & asked a person to yearn dearly longing.
How can I make you understand? It is bitter & painful
Come here, this could really be the final time to have this moment
When are you going to stop following me?
Where you go, I will follow?
Hyung Nim, until when are you going to stop following me?
Yun Bok, I will like to say this again, don’t you remember “tongyak” (the elements of nature) method.
Pine wood, mountain water, animals, people, plants. They have to go according to that order.
One’s painting is of how good but minus these elements….
Hyung Nim, isn’t outdoor excursion is the topic for us to free will to do our drawing Then what is use of the “tongyak”
Yes, it is. Then, what are you going to draw?
Why do you care what I draw? Hyung Nim is Hyung Nim, I am I. We will go our separate ways. Can we just do it?
Younger brother! In a family why are you so calculative down to bridges & roads?
No matter what, Hyung Nim goes that way, & I go this way
I count to 3 & will set off. 1…2…3
You need to finished before the sun set
Aigoo! This is great.
It has been prepared
Let’s go
What is that?
What are you referring to?
That, over there?
Who are you, boy? Someone,is there anyone around
Someone comes catch that boy
After him, after him
Do you mind if you could stand up?
I follow the smell of the fragrance, it looks like I have seen flower blossom.
Where there is a butterfily who simply pluck flowers?
Beautiful flowers will naturally attracts the butterfly in
But I am no wild flower & flowers are not just for anybody to simply pluck
Where there is any flowers that don’t like butterflies
Where did he go…over there?
Miss, please don’t…make a sound
Please don’t
Excuse me over here, Excuse me over here,
Are you crazy?
Ah! A flower that has thorns & also poisonous.
Bow! (All present genuflects on the ground as Jeongjo takes altar stand)
Present the gift for the offering; it will be bountiful harvest to come. Cabinet must adhere to the decree
We will adhere
How is it?
We are still searching for him. Because this outing was done in secret so there are some…
If this is discover by people, what is going to be of it?
I am sorry
This is the day the whole nation is at the site to do the offering ritual, secretly went to have this rendezvous.
If this matter is to be known by Chusan (His Majesty), what are we to do?
Ma Ma (Your highness)
What was he trying to draw? What did he see?
What did you draw?
Is there a drawing to be passed up?
If there isn’t any drawing pass up, I wouldn’t be able to sit here?
What did you draw?
Appreciation of spring, of course it should be the topic of flower blossom
Man like us, why draw flowers? What is seen, you should at least come out with scenery of a person enjoying the water, isn’t it?
Yes, it is. What the use is there, the most important is the content?
Anyhow the excursion to paint from life is an open topic, it doesn’t matter what we draw
You can say that just in passing, why wouldn’t it matter? It looks like you all don’t know the meaning behind this excursion of paint from life
Excursion of paint from life isn’t it an outdoor excursion in spring, then goes out to find ones inspiration. Everybody know about it. Man Bu Hyung
Aigoo! Another one who is really naïve?
Excursion of paint from life is an opportunity to bring out potential talent or else it is also seen as elimination.
The upper management know our every step of what we are doing?
Is it true?
Do they know who drew the drawings? I just drew very average.
If so, that if someone doesn’t draw well, what will happened?
Couldn’t be?
True, of course it is. If it is done wrongly, because of a piece of painting it may cost your head to be cut off, this is what happened often at Dohwaseo
Why should I lie to you?
Do you think I am being funny? Am I that kind of person? What do you think Dohwaseo is?
What you are saying is it true then?
I have been an apprentice for the past 10 year at Dohwaseo sitting here idle away my time
Aigoo! This Hyung is really something, saying it yet again. Give way. (asking them to give some space for him to sit down.
Really! Last year, nothing grave had happened. The year before last nothing had happened also, what make you think that this year will be other wise?
Why, nothing else to say? Really, you were just playing with the boys. I’m going
Really, to say frightening things to raise an alarm for everybody
What you say is always nonsense Is it so? As a person shouldn’t be so
Please drink
Yes
Ma Ma, what have you been bust these days?
There is nothing special there is to do?
Spring is here. Ma Ma should go to the pavilion to enjoy the spring’s sunshine
Chusan, you really know how to put it kindly?
How can it be? So Sun (Royal Grandson) today gone to the mountain to do the ritual
Chusan is so concern for one’s country & one’s people. It will touch heavens & the rains will come. I too am concern about the people with some pain
Is that so? What should you bring fatigue to your health?
That I will take care of it well
Then…you…please look through
What is this?
It is a mini compass. It is a gift from Qing Dynasty
A compass?
Yes
No matter where you are at, it can point you to direction
Point to the direction
Then you turn in for the night early, Ma Ma
I will do that. Goodnight
Who can it be?
From the facts gather from our investigation, he is an apprentice from Dohwaseo.
Dohwaseo?
Yes
Then you go to Dohwaseo & bring back all the drawing works that was drawn today, quickly!
Yes, Ma Ma
In this late in the night, what bring you here? Why don’t you answer me?
This is the order of the Queen Dowager, to collect all drawings works that were drawn today from Dohwaseo. Your actions must be done quickly
All are being wrapped already
Let’s leave
This is going too far. Look down on us at Dohwaseo
What has happened here?
I will definitely not forgive that person who caused this trouble.
Find this person immediately
How can this kind of drawing are found in Dohwaseo? Said what are you going to do about it?
This lady is feature at the centre of the drawing vacillating near the withered tree. This is absolutely impudent. Have a look
This is absurd
Summon this apprentice to come here at once
However this drawing doesn’t have a signature that authored it
What?
Apprentice’s drawings don’t come with signatures. Before they become full fledge artist there are forbidden to put & seal their names to their drawings
The person who is charge of tutelage of these apprentices can be able to recognise whose drawings are these. Who is it?
That will be…
Will that be you?
Yes it is I, outdoor excursion to paint from life, is to allow the apprentice to go out of the restriction & self explore their potentials
What you are saying, there is no way in finding who drew this?
Yes, it is so
Queen Dowager had given an order to see this person, what are you going to do about it?
This is all because of your outdoor excursion, had contributed.
This is the day that is the ceremonial ritual of the imperial dragon.
Why did you bring the apprentices out on an excursion?
This is really. This is what our Dohwaseo every year’s had set practices, why should it be different this year?
If it wasn’t you who brought the apprentices out, will this kind of “chun hwa” (phonographic) degrading drawings is the result of it
Chun Hwa…Chun hwa…can this is categorised as Chun Hwa?
No need to add anymore. I need to report this back to the Queen Dowager.
At this period, no matter what, you definitely need to find that apprentice who drew the drawing out immediately
You little brats...
you brats. When you went for he outdoor excursion, who is it drew this piece of drawing of a woman.
Is it you?
No, it is not
Then is that you?
How could it be me?
Little brats. If you don’t owe up, who is it?
No it is not I, definitely not me.
Yes it will not be, your standards are not to par. It will not be you
Who is it, who was laughing?
I….Teacher
Little brats, each of you come one by one to my room
Honestly tell the truth, it is alright.
What is there, when I was young like you, when I look at a woman, I will give 2 glances to look at her & have fantasy.
Is it you?
Am I crazy? How would I draw such a painting?
You little brat. You are just like father like son. Next!!!
Honestly speaking…
Yes, it is….so it is you…
I have a fear with women. I dare not even look them straight at them
You Really! Useless….Next!!!!
Orrishin!
Yes. Come let's hear it
Didn’t you just say that my standard is not up to par
Yes it is, how can it be you?….Next!!!!
You should know that I have wife & kid, I have never be close to a woman,
Honestly speaking, the drawing is nothing to be said of. How can it called Chun Hwa?
It is enough. That’s all. Get out. Next!!!
That…Abuji…that drawing
Yes, you feel like whose drawing is that? Just a wild guess of 70 -80%,
Although I didn’t mentioned it but this matter is of grave importance. The matter that Queen Dowager
is now involved, we definitely can’t let this matter jumps this hurdle so easily.
The Queen Dowager?
Yun Bok, there is not need for you to be afraid. We just need to find the person who drew it.
Our Dohwaseo will return back to normal.
You need not give any thought of worry on this.
You just need to concentrated on the getting prepare for the artist’s exams.
Do you understand? You may leave.
Who is next?
That drawing, does Hyung Nim think that it was way out of line?
Just feel a little strange
What's so strange
I have been here for 3 years as an apprentices, it is the 1st time I have seen a woman drawn as a main topic
Is drawing a woman all that wrong? I feel that's even stranger
What is that?
You can see, every time men will bring out a discussion is definitely the subject of women.
Once they see a beautiful woman, they will fumble in their steps until don’t know what.
Why when it comes to drawing, it can’t.
Isn’t that even weird?
That is ….
Because seeing a woman will arouse the feelings in the heart
You can put in your heart but you can never put in on paper.
Hyung Nim, do you have one? Is there some woman that you have put in your heart?
What? Nonsense! Go to bed!!!
Oh! There is….who is she…come say it
What, there isn’t?
Tell it to me, I will let anyone else know
Really! What a temper! It is so, the likes Hyung Nim who is so timid, how can you know of any woman.
Sleep well
What? Don’t know who he is?
I beg your pardon (Sorry)
Are the apprentices in hundreds or are they even pass thousands?
Just to add them all up it is roughly only that 80 something, you are here tell me that you can’t do it
However, the artists who comes to Dohwaseo are from reputable artist family
So….
If the Officials in Dohwaseo are harbouring their boy, your humble servant have no way in on this
Then what solution have you got on this matter?
Ma Ma, in Dohwaseo itself is now in the midst of finding that person who drew it
Let them know, before the ritual ceremony is over, they need to find that person.
Convey the seriousness to the Official in charge of Dohwaseo. Do you understand?
Yes, Ma Ma
Before the ritual ceremony, need to find that person this is what have been ordered?
So what you all going to do about it?
If we proceed with this further, the apprentices will so frighten with fear to their death,
who will take this responsibility? In this way,
In this way, What?
In this way, how can we find the person, we still don’t know? If it's really him.
If it was this… if Queen Dowager summon the apprentice to be interrogated, would they be able to leave in one piece
What are you saying?
…..Banish to Miu Hyang San
Miu Hyang San?
He just need to see the brush stroke, he can determine who drew the painting? His eyes are very sharp
No you can’t. Chusan Chona’s dote upon without standards & hierarchy how can we allow this kind of artist to enter Dohwaseo?
Yes, Tam won that kind of weed of course is a no.
A person without any morals & disciplines, if enters Dohwaseo, how can we have our apprentices see him as a guidance?
If it wasn’t for this person, how can we suppose to find out who the person who drew that drawing?
If not, our apprentices wouldn’t be spare from bodily torture.
I also do not agree, however…
There is no need to say further, if we don’t find who the apprentice is, don’t say for those who are all here, even I will not be spared from giving up my head.
don’t say for those who are all here, even I will not be spare from giving up my head.
It comes to this, do you people can take the matter as nothing. If you have no other comments, then I will decide on the matter
What is this? Why in Dohwaseo have placed palace guards?
This is Queen Dowager’s orders
Queen Dowager’s?
Ma Ma, What is the matter?
This is progress for the people’s to have a proper square meal.
In order to record the life of the Royal Household, Dohwaseo, how can such a pornographic drawing make an appearance? It is preposterous
Your word has its reason, however Ma Ma how do you come to know that the drawing was drawn by an apprentice from Dohwaseo?
Chusan, Are you now cross examining my words?
Cross examining, you are sadly mistaken?
These have its serious implications. I will personally see to it that I will catch this person of such degrading virtue.
You can be rest assured. This is what your “Hare Me” (Grandmother) can help to assist you with, isn’t it?
Sueson (Grandson) realise your intention on the matter, so I decided to assign someone that is suitable for the task.
Assign a suitable person, who are you referring to?
He is Tam Won. Tam Won, Kim Hong Do
Tam Won, Kim Hong Do. It’s him
In the year of Yak guan (20 years ago) gave me a painting, he is a gifted painter.
It was when I was still Saesun (Crown Grandson), my study room, the wind screen placed in the room was painted personally from Tam Won’s hands.
It is the ones that you personally like it too
However…
If it is him, there shouldn’t be any problem to the matter
He will definitely bring waves of troubles to our Dohwaseo. This is of certain
Until he finds out who’s the apprentice, we will handle from there
I really don’t understand
What? Tam Won….It is Tam Won. Orrabunim, Tam Won will return back to Han yang
That shouldn’t imply anything, is that man going to marry you?
Really, he is going to return, is it?
Are you so happy?
Orrabunim, really
Mr Tam Won… Mr Tam Won, please regain consciousness. Are you alright? Alright?
You said you wanted to catch a tiger, why are you here catching fishes instead? Did you catch a tiger?
Have you regained your consciousness?
Han yang have sent these men to invite Mr Tam Won back to Han yang
Are you really Mr Tam Won?
Royal Decree!!!! Artist Kim Hong Do, now return immediately to Dohwaseo to take his post as an official
Official!!!…Official!!!!
Wah! The city had change a lot, really change a lot. Wah! Really! I can’t see enough.
Mr Tam Won, you must be hungry, just have a bowl of broth then we go
Ah! It will be great. While catching the tiger is my favourite capture. I lost my spectacles. I will go & get one fitted. I will go there first
Then please proceed. Take care
To make as a horizontal inscribed board for usage? All of it
Yes. How long it will take?
The works takes 2 meal time
Eh! 1 meal time.
If you want under par workmanship then I am afraid that the person will be able to see through the flaws
Ah! So it is. Alright! Do it properly for me, please.
Then you go in & look at the new arrival painting I have in the shop. I have a piece that is newly arrived drawn by Mr Tam Won.
Mr Tam Won’s painting. Where is it?
It is over there, but there is already a buyer, so you need to be very careful in looking at it
I know
Please let go of it
His young man, is really something
I took a liking in appreciation to this painting first, so I wouldn’t be polite
Is appreciation of painting is there a first & last to it? If you say so, then I wanted to see this, 10 years ago
There are so many other paintings here to see, just let me see this one first
Ah! You little brat!!!
Please don’t said little brat, it is a prick to the ear
Disaster, a real disaster. This is so precious. What to do? What should be done?
Tonight someone will be here to pick it up. I am asking you what am I going to do?
This painting have already be given a deposit. I have already told you be careful looking at it
I am really sorry.
What is the use of being sorry? You said….this is priceless beyond saying. Aigoo! I’m finished. What am I going to do?
This…how much does this painting cost? Is it that exaggerated?
You look closely. This is genuine Mr Tam Won’s painting. Mr Tam Won. You have seen it. It is worth 300 nyang…300 nyang
3….300…300 nyang…nyang
Ah! This is worth 300 nyang
Did I say that this is Mr Tam Won’s…Mr Tam Won? How are you going to …compensate…pay?
Can I just give you a drawing, wouldn’t that be alright? I will draw it exactly as it is
Are you mad? This is Joseon most accomplished painter, from the likes of you?
A little brat like you can you produce exactly the same as this. It will be a laughing stock
No, please wait a moment
Do you feel if there are any differences in it?
When you are drawing the pine tree, the brush stroke should be in a single breath, a single stroke & once. Use strength stroke by stroke
You…can you sit still & be quiet for a while
It is not correct. This is a vine, you should add some moisture to the brush.
Like this….it should be of this way
Then one stroke…one stroke in, then travel downwards, one stroke then disperse slightly then travel upwards
What do you know? This is Mr Tam Won’s painting. It is famous for being light & bold & flows in its brush strokes. Do you listen to understand?
Is that so?
Yes it is so. When putting the brush stroke, we need to have it flowing, this only can be Mr Tam Won’s painting works.
It is not for anybody? You just sit tight there & look
Oh! It looks like you are very well versed. Then Mr Tan Won & you, are you acquaintances?
You are very nagging? Yes, acquaintances? Mr Tam Won? I know him…very well in fact
How did you become his acquaintance?
When did you learn to draw like that?
I need to finished this quickly. I beg with you to keep quiet for a moment, can you do that?
Didn’t you say you just want to get a pair of spectacles, why are you doing here?
You all have finished eating so quickly. I am also hungry
There is no time left, we need to hurry on our way
Then, that fine
Wait a moment, where do you think you are going? We should share half of this mess. Give me 150 nyang
150 nyang? Young man, I am currently slightly busy
Hey! Hey! 150 nyang
It will be alright, just do well with the painting
Hey! Hey! We tore someone’s painting, we should at least pay for the damages. Hey, you beggar!!!!!
We have arrived
Please go in
It been hard, job well done
Yes
It has been a long time. Have I come a little too late?
How are you?
It have been a long time. You must be tired, please sit down
Thank you. My legs, my old bones (massaging his legs). It only have been this few steps, really
You look as though you are still very young
You are the same
It is fine as long as the scenery is great. On Orrishin’s great fortunes I could travel far & wide to able to see many scenery. It is rewarding.
You feel at home where ever you are. Mr Tam Won, you do live up to your reputation
If I knew you would have give me such praises I will have prepare some gifts for you as a token.
What had happen. Chusan Chona had summoned me back to the capital all of a sudden?
Because of this
A few days ago, the apprentice when went to an outdoor excursion to paint from life, one of the apprentice produced this work.
I will like to ask for your help seeking the person who drew this, that is why.
What do you see?
This….Is this really produced by an apprentice?
This little brat, really has a gift, an exceptionally good eye for details
What?
In the drawing there is not only a lady as a theme, there is the fence, the swaying of the willow tree, orchestrated in a single moment.
As she is turns slightly away from the drawing, it gives a mysterious feel to it. Her contours of her body, isn’t it….
What rubbish are you saying? Seeing a woman standing under a withered tree, do you understand what is it?
Also what is the woman holding in her hand?
It is a straw hat. It is after an illicit affair, a straw hat that the man left behind.
The woman is now just rekindled on happenings that just happened.
The lover. This drawing is definite a “Chun Hwa” (pornographic) drawing.
A Chun Hwa….Chun hwa, so you want me to find out who drew this painting, then after…
In Dohwaseo we can’t allow this kind of obscene people that create trouble to remain here. You should know better
That….it have been a while. I can’t recall any longer
Then what you meant is that do you want the body of yours to bleed before you can remember?
Do you want to use the punishment crushing of the hand, isn’t it?
This is Dohwaseo. A piece of paper can determine the fate of your hands & leg & even your head whether you can leave it intact. You should know of this well
You are still the same self
If you are not willing, that fine
Then I just need to write a letter to sent you back
How many days?
5 days. 5 days until the ritual ceremony ends, you need to find that person
You have come. What is this?
This is a product from Qing Dynasty. It is a priceless red coral
Your eyes are sharp. This person
Tam Won have returned. You all must be cautious that he may want to pock into the matter that happened 10 years
Yes, we have to be cautious
We need to have this matter finalised. We need to be done with it. We should forever have this matter put behind us
yes, we definitely need to find
This is to give to Wusang Daegam
What is this? Come, let us open it & have a look
It is the flowers of the 4 season. This, how is it?
The four season’s flowers are in full blossom. It is not bad. But flowers are slightly…
Then many great thanks to you
Flowers of 4 seasons do carrying some meaning to it.
but
These are the flower that blossom during the seasons, however this painting, the blossom hold some mysterious points.
The blossom can’t be seen, isn’t it, Pil Chul
Who doesn’t know of this?
A petal comes from the blossom. The fragrant of the flowers represent nobility.
To have this painting hang in a room can cherish to look at these flowers throughout the 4 seasons of the year as company.
So this painting is appropriated for Pil Chul to have it.
Please accept it
If this is so, then you should accept it
Thank you
Let me go! Cho Pal!…Cho pal! please save my wife. Cho pal! Do you hear me?
This person is….really, please excuse me for a moment.
Cho Pal, what are you doing? Did you not forget that we were fighting together in the street market?
Please save my wife, save my wife.
Cho Pal, This person
Cho Pal! Cho Pal!
Are you all enjoying yourselves?
We will have to wait for Tam Won to find out that the little brat is that drew that Chun hwa.
At that time, it will be fine. Before then, how are we to deal with the matter?
I will pay my respect to the Minister (Yi Pan)
Fine, let do it this way
However, why all of the sudden that boy Tam Won returned to the Han yang?
It is Chusan Chona who summoned his return
Chusan? Personally?
It looks lifelike even though it is on paper.
It looks alive. It is very lively
Being expel to a far to Miu Hyang San, even having the 4 treasures (paper, brush, ink stick & ink stone) study would not be available.
You can be able to bring out such a lifelike tiger back
This period of time I was accompany the tiger, now the tiger is almost like my wife
Yes it is, a person that is not married will think of such thoughts. You are still your same self.
I wish I could admire your painting every day, I have long awaited for this very moment
It had been so long, you are still fond of new things.
Chusan Chona is still very much your old self
This period of time, without you by my side, I felt very weary & bored.
Right! I heard that Dohwaseo had an incident
Yes, Chona.
If it lights up the Queen Dowager’s fury, it looks like it wouldn’t be a small matter.
If it was Hong Do handling it, then this definitely may have an easy solution to settle the matter.
No matter what apprentice he is, to have Chusan Chona’s attention even before he is a full fledge artist, it would be seen as just not ordinary.
It looks like this matter is of great importance
It can be seen as that. No matter what, the most important thing is that you have retuned alive.
It is really very fortunate that you can returned alive
What has happen?
The people are hungry in misery.
We need to audit search Dohwaseo & finds out that such a Chun Hwa drawing would have been discovered.
As an elder of the Royal Household, how can allow this to pass by
During the Ritual Ceremony, you left the palace without permission and created all this problems?
Orrabunim
Listen to me. Although Chusan Chona had summon Kim Hong Do to return.
The incident of Kang So Wan that happened 10 years ago at Dohwaseo, would never be discovered the truth.
We need to extra cautious of this
This matter…
When the apprentice once is being found & caught. I definitely have him silence forever.
You should understand the meaning of this.
I understand, We Su (Uncle, mother’s brother)
Tam Won had returned
Who is he?
You go & asked him? Have you read the history book in the library?
Yes.
He is…the author.
It is the thing .... that I treasure the most
I have made you waited for so long
Everybody, did you hear that there will be a new Teacher coming?
Mr Tam Won?
Mr Tam Won. Tam Won Kim Hong Do is coming
Yes it is,
during the year yak guan (10 years ago), he was the highest accomplished Royal Bureau artist in Dohwaseo who drew the portrait of the former king.
I heard that 10 year ago, he was banish to Miu Hyang San, went mad
How can this be?
You little naïve brats.
In the past, he was the former decreased Pil Chul Da Ri’s good friend was punished.
Because of the punishment he used a knife & silt his own eyes.
There were rumours that attempted to kill Pil Chul
Actual fact there is also a saying that the person who killed his teacher & friend is Mr Tam Won himself
Don’t say frightening things to raise alarm
Why? Do you think is weakness lend its wings to rumours?
Hey! Jang Hyo Won, your fabrication is way out of boundary
Yes it is, how can this be?
You are really a bunch of naïve boys. Let’s go, we will be late
Are we? Let’s go
Let's get going too
Oh!
You go in first
Why?
I need to go to the out house
Then you should go
What a relief?
Oi! You over there,
Oh! It is you little brat
Oh! The beggar
Why are you doing to the out-house, prospecting gold? What are you happy about?
Hey! You!
Did you know how much I suffered on that day? That painting was clearly torn by the 2 of us.
You suddenly disappeared & ran away. How can you leave me in a limb? 300 nyang!!
On Ho! You, little brat. In broad daylight all of the sudden bring up the matter on 300 nyang.
Is the painting torn by just me alone?
So that is why I bet my own life to draw exactly another piece? 300 nyang, quickly give it to me. Quickly!
To had destroyed Mr Tam Won’s painting works, you should at least compensate to Mr Tam Won himself?
Mr Tam Won, that matter doesn’t concern you.
Ah! It looks like you came here to sell this wind screen.
Today is an auspicious day, today that person Mr Tam Won will be his 1st day coming to our Dohwaseo to teach.
Don’t dwell in self pity. Please leave
Is it?
Then I should sell this to Mr Tam Won Kim Hong Do himself would be better
Hey
Then it is better that you help me to carry this in
Hey!
Why aren’t you going to carry this in for me?
Hey! That…this…How can you bring this thing in, you will be chase away?
You are really a nag, you little brat!
