The Painter of Wind
Episode 7
Aigoo! Isn’t it Dan Won?
In this late night of an hour, why are you here in such a place?
Do you know the person inside this room?
It looks like indeed that I have found the person I am looking for.
He is no doubt, in this room. Dan Won, isn’t it correct to say that Yun Bok is inside this room?
Hey! Il Dan!!!!
Before becoming a Bureau Artist, 3 days, isn’t it that supposed that you are require to purify & cleanse your body.
In these 3 days, he can’t refrain himself to frequently come to visit the Gisaeng House.
This…as a Dohwaseo’s Bureau Artist, this is a disgrace …. disgrace!
This kind of person, do you think he has the prerequisite to be the Royal Household Bureau Artist?
Open the Door!
If you don’t want to, I will do it on your behalf
Ah Huh! This is really…..
How can the Artist from Dohwaseo be of this conduct? This is really shocking & unreasonable.
How can this child do…..? Get out!
Abuji, please just give me some moment of time

Get out!!!
Abuji!!!
Orrishin!
Abuji! It is not what you think it is?
Then what are you both doing there?
Teacher!
I am asking what are you both doing there?
Do you really need to still ask “why” the question, isn’t this clearly states that a man making love to a woman?
All you do is to just need to pay close attention to just this?
Ah! Really! This is really going way too far out of line
Pil Chul Orrishin, today it is the last time, I plea with you to give me some moment of time.
I have some words that is bedded in my heart that I need to tell & let this woman to know & listen to
Is it, this is the last time? How can I believe in what you had said?
Pil Chul Orrishin!
I ask you to get out of here quickly!!!!
What are you all doing here?
Omonim
An Artist also occasionally posses to love.
In the middle of the night, come & swarming to the Gisaeng House like a swarm of locusts, how dare you all come to my place to create such a disturbance?
Who are you to dare shout at us like that? Of course we came here to settle matters.
Quickly! Please leave this place at once!!!
How can a man of principals like you men folk can be so petty with their temper.
An Artist that uses the brush, to one’s surprise can rush in here late at night to the Gisaeng House to shout & cry loudly.
Oh Ho! This is really way out of line
What have you just said?
Please leave at once!!!!
You are just a merely a retired Gisaeng, how dare you shout to whom?
Huh! Don’t you know that this retired Gisaeng’s have own a mouth that can earn its keep that is equivalent to money
At this moment, whichever person wouldn’t give this brat any unprincipled protection. Quickly get out of here!!!!
Let me go!!! Please let go of me!!!
Please wait for a moment longer!!
What are you doing? Quickly put that away!!!!
This will be the our final finale, Artist
No, we will definitely will met again
I will never be able to meet Artist ever again.
I want to present to you my final gift.
Now this is already complete. Please everybody here you may all leave
Episode 7 The Precise Wind
Abuji! Abuji! Abuji!
You need to be a Royal Bureau Artist & Exemplary Royal Artist in the future.
How can you go as far as to be together with a Gisaeng?
What is this becoming of it?
It is not like that, Abuji!
Wouldn’t you think of your Hyung who is suffering in misery working at Danchongsuo
No I did not forget
Enough of wrangle & noise! Little brat! Locked the door!!!!
Abuji! Abuji! Abuji! Please open the door! Abuji!
You need to guard this door properly!!!! Yes, Da Ri
Abuji!!!!!!
You are now already considered belong to Hensun Orrishin (Kim Jo Nyun).
How dare you unexpectedly casually asked a man to enter your chambers?
Omoni! That is in comparison is to my life
You must definitely need conceal this properly & not let anyone to discover about it
At this present moment whichever time, you need to cleanse the body.
He (Shin Yun Bok) goes as far as to go to a Gisaeng House. This matter will tarnish the sacred sanctity of our Dohwaseo
It is just a youngster who became a Bureau Artist really just being naïve
As the teacher, even full aware that this kind of matter will happen, just pretend he doesn’t know, standing at the sideline
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
If this truth were to be known by the Royal Court Government, this is a chance to take advantage of an opportunity, are we able to chased Dan Won out?
How can this be? Compare to whatever person, Dan Won is in the great favour & dote on by Chusan, can it be usurps by this petty matter, how can you chased him away?
If you need to remove the cover, you definitely need to determine exactly where the position is, isn’t that so?
Yes
Artist, please leave here quickly, you need to continue with your drawing
Is this really true that Chusan Chona had personally decree this request?
This matter is of the utmost importance. You may not divulge this to anybody
Ah?
Who are you? How do you know of this matter of secrecy mission?
This is not important. It is because “he” (Jeongjo) is in great expectation in waiting for your painting
Just like this, draw the bird into a cage, originally it is just a common ordinary single bird, you are now able to know & see what his heart wish is, isn’t it?
You need to complete it by tomorrow at the 1st sunlight.
What is actually are you doing little brat that is eating you?
I’m sorry, Teacher
Are you sorry? This matter is from a personal request by Chusan Chona.
But you felt that you need to run to the Gisaeng House.
I want to say that this matter can’t this be compare for the sake of a mere trivial Gisaeng to be ruined
After tomorrow, I will never able to see that woman again
No need to say any further!!! Don’t ever bring up or mentioned that woman again. You are really a useless brat
As it is to me to say, that woman in comparison to whichever person it is, she is very precious to me
Did I not say this matter can’t this be compare for the sake of a mere trivial Gisaeng to be ruined? You useless brat!!!!
I will draw that painting!!!! But it is just a piece of painting. I just need to draw it, is that’s all there is!!!!!
Is this but just a piece of painting?
Yes!!!!!!
You little brat!!!!
Why? Do you want to hit me? Teacher what right do you have to this to me!!!!!
Then it is up to you, up to your choice.
No matter if you live or died, I will not even give a bother or care to you anymore. It is fine, it is all up to your choice!!!!!!!
I will not even bother nor care whether you will or will not able to become an Artist again.
Go & become the Gisaeng’s husband, it is all your up to your choice.
It is up to you!!!!!
Have you done the painting?
I simply didn’t draw it
Well done!
Teacher, is yours done?
I simply didn’t draw either
You too have done very well
We simply can’t use 1-2 brush strokes to deliver & present the painting
Wah! The weather is pretty fine & nice
What is so nice about the weather, can’t you see there is overcast in dark clouds.
You little brat, don’t know whether last night stir up & give vent that your consciousness have all but evaporate
You could have at least been careful. There is no need tostare blankly at a daze, & find yourself entering the water.
Inside here, it stores “Yah Myeong Ju” (a legendary luminous pearl)
In its place you may see brightness, it's rare unlike any common precious stones, but when darkness uncovers, just like daytime, it will give out a bizarre radiances.
It is a marvellous precious stone. This significance is for both of you Artists that will use your paintings to radiance the world
Once we determine the result of the deciding victor, this will be bestowed to him. If there isn’t a victor, then this legendary luminous pearl will revert back to my hands.
Thank you for your great benevolence & kindness
Both of you, submit your painting
Yes
Gua Ra will start to inspect
Looks at him yesterday night, he had always been obstinate & stubborn, but he can accept my ideas to drew the backdrop. Teacher is really so naughty & mischievous.
Ah! I really want to eat a bowl of broth
You have drawn really well
You are too kind with you praise
Now it is time to see the young Artist’s painting
The time was nervously so short & yet he could produce a painting that is so well.
I have firm believe that he is not gifted talent but a really big dumb fool,
but nevertheless seeing this painting, unexpectedly he can come out to draw this kind of painting.
What did you actually do?
Your painting had drawn very well
You are too kind with you praise
Why did you both wanted to drawn the subject of the “Jumak” (Drinking tavern)?
Yes….we didn’t get to see any other places…the day had already turn to night fall….
Yes, indeed. Jumak is a place where the capital's ordinary men & women will come back & forth to socialise. For the youngster & I this is the subject we are most well verse in.
However for Chusan Chona, you may say that this may be a very refreshing subject, so that is why we drew the subject
This is not Jin Kyeong San’s landscape painting, one may well say that in the midst of landscape scenery it has traces of Joseon.
Moreover both of your Art painting genre is from the characters themselves of how things really are; with traces of Joseon’s clothings & Joseon’s faces.
It may be said that this can be a “Chin Gyeong” (true view). Both of you have done well
Thank you for benevolence & great kindness
Now we should come to decide the victor
Both pieces of paintings are drawn very lively & vivid. One Dong (point)
Inside Dan Won’s painting, ladle, tobacco pipe, soup bowls, the child’s mouth, these 4 areas, represent the different sight & sounds of the place.
Dan Won you are a man of great knowledge in the music’s rhyme scheme.
From the painting I can able hear the sounds of that day. It is really not bad, Dan Won, add another one dong (point)
Thank you for your kind praise
However, in Yun Bok’s painting, the colours of red & blue, most suitable with the main individual characters in the painting.
As the colour of peony red & blue indigo, it is to say that this painting can able to represent all the colours.
The 1st correct decision is to put the 2 colours, it is really very good, therefore, colours harmony increases the painting movement & sense.
Yun Bok, your painting add one dong (point)
Thank you for your kind praise
It looks like both of you have 2 points. We can’t determine the winner. What are we to do?
It looks like this time the legendary luminous pearl need to be stay with me for keeps
This time the legendary luminous pearl should belong to Yun Bok
What is the reason for it?
It is because of this
You have done really well, young Artist
Thank you for your kind praise, Chona
When did you draw that painting, with that little time?
But it's just a piece of painting. Does it need so much time to draw one?
You are still saying again that it just is a piece of painting. You little brat how rude you are?
Let me looks this once. Is this precious stone really so marvellous?
This precious stone really had radiance in it
Does it need to be in darkness to be able to see the radiance, isn’t it?
Is it? I also have heard…..
Wah! Wah! It is really marvellous. Wah! This radiance, it is really marvellous
Wah! Wah!
Then I am just really sorry.
I am sorry that I lost my temper at you. I am sorry
It is fine
This little brat. Man how can’t be still so petty. When are you going to be still angry until?
Let’s go
Let’s go….go
Today is when Jeong Hyang goes to that Proprietor 1st night
Let’s go. I want to listen to this extraordinary Gisaeng’s life story
How old are you?
Why is there a need for you to ask this question? 18 years old
Aigoo! Such a young age already understand what love is?
It is only days of fated love together; you are already hurt by such yearning for each other to reach until this stage.
What is the significance as to you, what is that this Gisaeng is to you?
In the beginning, for the 1st time, she was the person that I experience love
Drink up!
Yes
So then… this Gisaeng…. how did you get to meet her?
It just started with just glances in eyes expression
Glances?
Glances in the eyes
It wasn’t long that I could see through the Artist’s heart
When I was in suffering in agony….she for my sake….cry a tear for me
Moreover, I have allow him to see me completely
It looks like I have seen the “lost me” of myself in her.
Looking at her, I feel that I am really seeing myself.
As for me to compare to whatever person, she is precious to me.
She is….the only….the person that I loved. I really misses….that person.
However, now everything is already completely in the past. I…Now can only become decoration ornament merchandise
No!…No…as for me she is very precious…precious
What are you saying, little brat? Hey! Little brat! Are you already drunk? Little brat! Hey! Hey! Little brat! Get up!
Teacher!
You….is this are you showing contempt for me?
It should have compassion
You have a person you love
I wish to have your heart, then after only I will want your body
Come! Take this out
Stretch out your legs to sleep. Ah! This is little brat. You are such a headache
Are you uncomfortable? Just take off the clothes, will be better
Please don’t go
What is don’t go? Little brat!
Aggassi! Please come out for a while
There is a letter
If you accept the things that I have prepared, then release one of the bird from the cage
You need to keep an eye on Il Dan (Jang Byuk Soo) really carefully. Please make sure that no body interferes into this matter
I will do so
It is said to be merchandise, but sooner or later it will become a piece of very precious priceless treasure.
Although at this time, she is still not being completely mine.
However there is a man, there are times when we encounter the merchandise that need tender heartstring care,
there are times that we can avoid the need to do battle, even it had to become just like a beast. In that battle we definitely need to win.
Before that time comes, I will definitely need to safeguard her
Teacher Dan Won?
Are you not ready yet?
Oh! I am
Orrabunim, have you not heard?
What is it?
During Dano Festival did a troupe “Nan Jang Dan Bie” came over.
There was a Yanban who paid very high price to make “Bi Lee” his concubine
What so early in the morning having a discussion on concubine
Amongst the men, do they have this kind of relationship?
Oh! Really! So then what happen after?
The magistrate gave them flogging. I heard that he had become cripple
What did you say?
I really don’t understand.
Compare to the age, he can be his grandfather, how can he make a man in the like age of his son to be a concubine
Man with man, can they have that kind of relationship
Hey! What are you thinking there?
No, it is nothing
Recently you seem to have a lot on your mind; don’t say that you have someone in your heart?
What are you saying?
Our Jung Suk if she should know about this, it will be trouble….big trouble!!!!!
Teacher! I…last night…..
What with last night?
I have drank so much drink that I don’t have the slightest recollection of things. Did I do anything wrong?
It is best you be leaving
Please tell this to me. What did I do wrong?
You didn’t do anything wrong. Please leave quickly
Is it not that did I really mumble or talk in my sleep & dreams
Ah! The breathe of alcohol.
You little brat, you still have recover from your effect of the alcohol. Quickly take a bowl of water to wash it off
Teacher, please tell this to me. I have said what? What rubbish did I utter? Teacher!
Before Chusan Chona’s request, please go to Dohwaseo; don’t let other know about this
Teacher?
You were snoring so loudly that I wasn’t able to sleep
Snoring?…..Did I just only snore, Teacher? I will go & drink the water now
Mr Dan Won with Yun Bok, recently they are getting to very close knitted together
They are the same make of a kind of species. Anyhow they are in Dohwaseo considered they are the same type of people
No matter what type, they are still Artist. Everybody should work their best effort.
Next year, we will be able to wear that Bureau Artist headgear. Let’s go
What are the both of them doing actually?
Why is Chusan Chona need to use painting genre to discuss & debate in “Shi Kang Jang”?
(“Shi Kang Jang” is the premise where the King or the Crown Prince receives their public education)
Has everybody seen this?
Yes
Then, I will like to discuss & talk about this. Everybody what is the reason behind these pieces of paintings
Excuse me, your leniency towards matter, Chona.
“Shi Kang Jang for sake to get inspiration & ideals to harden oneself discipline, why are we bringing out this kind of painting genre
So now what Wu Sang is implying is that, wanting to harden one's self’s discipline,
that I wish to discuss & debate with regard to the political public service.
We will invite Wu Sang to enlighten us first on this discussion. In the midst of the paintings, what do you see?
Yes, Chona.
Both the painting depicts on the way livelihood of the citizens.
In that painting although their clothings are slightly coarse & rough, they are all very happy & laughing heartily.
In this other painting although wearing elaborately bright colours,everybody is frowning on their foreheads
(only aristocrats (Yan ban) are allowed to dorn bright colors during the Joseon Dynasty)
As expected, it is indeed that you are really after all Wu Sang
Then do you know what's the motive behind paintings are?
Yes, Chona. It looks like that both the Artist’s disposition & temperament are different.
Comparing these paintings, the Artist’s (“The Tavern”) nature of temperament is brightly homourous & glad.
However, the other painting, this Artist’s (“Drinking in the Tavern”) temperament is gloomy & discontented. Isn't that so?
Yes. Do you think I just only wanted to listen to these kinds of words, in order to have these painting brought forward to debates & talk about the governmental services in “Shi Kang Jang”?
Did you see the flowers in that painting (“Drinking in the Tavern”)
When this flower blossoms it is at high noon. When the sky becomes darker, it will wither.
The flowers are still in full bloom; those who are taking the country’s official salary in the magistrates (“Nou Gul Bang”) & police station (Geum Byul”) guards,
also the others in the Yanban class gather together in broad daylight drinking away.
Therefore, the Artist who seen this happening of course he can only frown his forehead, moreover even the characters in the painting are all frowning their forehead as well.
It is also representing what my exact desires are now.
Immediately bring in those who are in the public service, who plays truant, they need to be weeded out. We need to assert strict punishment
Chona, we adhere respectably your command request
Royal decree. All the government officials in the capital, who have been truant in handling their duties are to be reported
What are we government officials are being outrageously controlled & manoeuvred by some lowly & despicable Artists. How can this be?
Of course. If the former King (Yeongjo) would to know of this, he will definitely cough & vomit blood
Yes indeed. How can he take paintings to discuss & debate in Shi Kang Jang. This is beyond us, how can this be?
What is Chusan Chona's actual intention in doing this? I really want to know his point of reason?
What can he able to do? This time we are at the mercy of his punishment. Most of them are all Noh Ran.
(Noh ran are the current faction of the ruling class & government, this brings the ever powerful Andong Kim clan later).
The criminal’s son had become the King. Isn’t this is directly tell this at us that he is seeking revenge for his father’s death?
Does he really want to starts off his intention this way? Are we going to sit around here idle, not knowing when he will to start to whip lash on us?
It is only some arrest of some officials playing truant, that's all.
This is not the time yet for you to start to a panic, why don't you refrain from this debauchery?
No matter what, we can’t be careless to cause another oversight in the matter again.
You all need to control & look well after your sons & daughter’s conduct of behaviour.
We can’t allow Chusan Chona to catch us on this matter as an excuse, do you understand?
Yes, we adhere
What is there good to draw here, that you ask me to come?
Teacher!
This wall fence. What does it come to mind that you will think, when you see a wall fence like this?
Wall fence? It is just a mere wall fence. There is nothing that comes to mind
No it isn’t. This wall fence is hidden & conceal all that is inside & within…that, you may not know what secret it is hiding, do you want to know?
You little brat, you look more mature than I previously thought you were.
I have found it
Oh Ho! I am above the heavens observing you all; I feel that you have been earnest enough with your sincere efforts, so that is why I descend to earth.
Looking at you, your request is not small either. Come let’s hear it
Sam Shim Hemanim (Shaman lady) Sam Shim Hemanim.
It has been a while my family’s daughter wasn’t able to bear a son, in the eyes of the in-laws, she will soon be chased out of the house.
What should I do, for my pitiful daughter?
What's with the son & the daughter, how is it so?
It is so
It's for the sake to bring down the blood lineage that they are doing their utmost effort on the matter.
The more I see it, the more perturbed I get. Let us leave here quickly
I want to watch some more. This Shaman lady is rarely seen at normal times
Are you going by chance to draw this?
Yes
This painting, have you ever thought after what consequences this may bring?
Is this the right & the best scenery subject for genre painting.
Even it is illegal by law, she still need & want to definitely bear a son. The situation & predicament of this Joseon lady; I feel it is really tragic & sad
No you can’t, this will create chaos. Definitely you can’t. Let’s us leave
Teacher?
Where did you ladies go? Married women, how dare you?
Daegam! Why are you back so early?
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! You are going to deliver soon, how can you now still running around here & there?
This piece of painting is it drawn from the real actual perspective of what the Artist’s had seen with his own eyes;
or it is from the imagination of wrongful doubt that you draw this
This painting is from what I had seen with my own eyes.
Nowadays in the capital are still unexpectedly Shamans are still doing their rituals?
Yes it is correct, Chona
Chona! This Artist, when he draws this painting, he doesn’t decide whether it is right nor wrong therefore what he only sees he will draws it
What he sees he will draw it?
The law of the nation states that punishment from illegal & forbidden act of practices, you need to turnover the whole capital to get the Shamans. Definitely need to punish for their crimes.
This implies that the Shamans can no longer stayed in the capital.
How can they use such imaginary & unrealistic practices and pretend as Gods & Devils? This Shaman will only create confusion & disturbance amont the citizens, take this big stride in the capital
Let me go, you bunch of idiots!!!! Let me go! Let me go!
Wu Sang, Come speak & let us hear what you have to say. You are responsible for the duties of the country as to holding the position as Right Premier.
Unexpectedly you can invite the services of a Shaman into the capital to conduct a ritual. How do you see this matter?
I am so sorry, Chona
However, Chona….it is a natural bond & ethical relationship that parents do for the sake of their children sake
He has 3 daughters already. He has done his duty to bring down the family lineage. It is the responsibility of the women folk.
But as a parent, his sense of feeling is what there is?
For the sake of his flesh & blood, he resorted to this mistake. Please, I plea with you for your forgiveness this time.
Forgiveness this time?
The law doesn’t prejudice nor be just suitable to be applicable to who are citizen in the streets or merchant.
Furthermore it will be the same here that the same law be allow to apply to those of the Officials who are standing here before me.
It is only can be seen as fair & just. The persons who breaks the law, will be punished no matter creed nor status as the same with the citizen.
Oi Jong Jo Young Jung, in the capital you have committed in conducting activities of Shaman practises that is forbidden, you should accepted to be punished for that crime.
Wu Sang, quickly in front of all the Court Official present in this, to sincere apologise your crime, to show the seriousness of the law of this nation
Shin, Jo Young Jung have committed a crime against the law of this nation, in front of Chusan Chona & all the court official present, I apologise for my crime, after this I will treat its as a standard form of hindrance.
I will definitely have society to once again remind them that the same incident will not ever emerge again. I apologise sincerely
Is he apologising in front of the Court Officials?
How can you allow your Grandmother’s Uncle to be bullied & suffered such his way?
Chusan! I heard Chusan recently in the Shi Kang Jang, proudly using anonymous Artist’s genre of painting. Is this true?
There are times that painting bring out different perspectives to compare to those hundred words in the language of speech
Just in a mere piece of painting, you want the country court official to kneel, is this justifiable?
Don’t say that it is just Court Official, even if it is the Queen Dowager. If there is proof of truth, you just need to accept it as it is
It may be just the perspectives of those kind of lowly & despised Artist’s point of view.
The discussion we are having, what connection does it have in relation to status of being rich & poor, high & low.
Did we say that not to feel ashamed to ask & learn from your subordinates?
The fine advice should fall on good ears to listen, but those with intelligent should learn how to accept it, isn’t that correct?
What you just said on your point of view is upright & outspoken without a degree of bend?
However there are times you will have to bend slightly, to be the way of this world.
If it is too straight, it will finally break, don’t you think so?
I will bear in mind this advice, Ma Ma
The difference in these Artists, one is happiness the other is tragic. Unexpectedly we the Court Officials have to abide & be controlled by this destiny.
Our country’s government should befall & crumble into this stage of affairs
Now it looks like the Artists are currently enjoying Chusan Chona dote so that is why they are daring?
Maybe it is because we have become too high & mighty for him to listen.
That is why Chusan Chona prefers to listen to them, it is like they have been made into an excellent emissary.
Seeing them imperious bearing, they are just mere Artist. It looks like they don’t understand the position they should stand
So it is. The Artists should only like their Arts speciality, isn’t that so, Uncle?
Yes it is. An official will do what an official must do.
The low & despised will do what the low & despised will do.
From the lower to the highest of classes, will be able to live more at peace with each other, isn’t it?
Of course. We should make them understand this reasoning
We, officials should warn them for disregarding & defying us; we can allow evil heterodoxy come & interrupt & baffle us.
Chosen Chona who doesn’t want to administrate the government well, we must not allow this to continue.
This is from Queen Dowager Ma Ma’s exact meaning.
Go & bring the note to me
Yes
A son of a Criminal, Can’t qualify for Kingship, treason leads to Slaughter. Execute become diabolical.
They have already started making their 1st move
Chona!
Stand aside!…..Leave here at once!!!!
It is the scholars from Shon Gyu Guan who personally authored these notes & pasted it at the market streets.
They want to executed & exercise the rights of treason. This really terrifies me & makes me anxious.
Each & every one of them all dragged out of here
Yes!!!!
No…Teacher!!!!!
What is going on here?
Get them out of here!!!!! Come!!!
What is going on here?
Teacher?
