The Painter of Wind
Episode 17
Fine. This is it. We are here. This is the paper making mill where that paper was produced
Is anyone in?
Why are you making all this noise out there at this hour?
Oh... I..
Aren’t you that young man who came over yesterday?
I apologise disturbing you so late
What is the matter?
I have something that I want to show you
Eh! The paper we produce is only has the thickness of 3 layers.
Hmmm! But this paper is a little too thick
This, can you able to produce thickness in certain special part of the area
Err! It already far exceed the thickness in producing the paper.
This is only in your wildest dreams.
Moreover, with that thickness how can you draw a painting on that paper?
That kind of paper, the ink will find it hard to penetrate through
Using the pressure from this presser machine, you will able press & paste paper layer by layer,
it can also reverse it & help to peel off the layers
What are you doing here? Are you out of your mind?
Teacher?
Let this paper peel off its layers, then may permit us to see what is concealed under these layers.
Also the ink is highly oil based, even if it is soaked in water, the ink will not smudge or smear easily
Oh! So I see…Then if it is that….
May I ask what is this?
This is gum paste. We added a little additive of sediment amylum powder to it.
It can absorb all the gum substance & act as a remover. Eh!
Why are you still staying there idle there for, hurry bring the paper over here?
Yes
The remover is reacting to that area of the paper; it is now separating the layers
What is wrong with it?
Please can you help me to do it
It should be this person; who murdered my Teacher & my best friend
Yun Bok! Yun Bok! Yun Bok!!! Yun Bok!!!!
Episode 17 The Girl from 10 years ago
Hurry! Take Yun with you to hide.
Quickly
Yun! Yun!
Shsssh! Follow me
Who are you people?
Search thoroughly!
Yes
Omma?
Have you searched thoroughly?
Yes, As long as there's a painting with a persons face on it, we have burned them all
I know
Where have you concealed that piece of painting?
Your group of people will never be able to find it
It is fine now….regained consciousness
Are you alright?
As long as he eat well & sleep well, there shouldn’t be any problem
Are you alright?
Yes…I am fine
What happened?
Can’t you remember, in the paper making mill, you were soaking the portrait painting in water…..
Teacher! I need to take my leave
With your health condition like that, where do you still want to go?
I have a place that I need to go in a hurry to….Thank you
Please take care of your lover well
What? What do you talking about?
Hey! Hey! Until now you are still pretending to act dumb.
Although I am not a fame Doctor, however I can differentiate clearly between men & women.
Which ghost are you trying to cheat, this person?
Who's house is this?
This is my friend’s house
Ah! Is it to say that the house of that woman?
Woman?
The person who Mr. Yu Chun (Yi Yin Mun’s pen name) mentioned at my house, did you ask him whether if he had found that woman or not?
Ah! That woman?
Anyhow it already been past through many years
Don’t be shy, of that feeling.
It may have been many years but you still took a lot of trouble & effort to find her
However this woman, why is she hiding her true gender, and dress in men’s clothings?
The body of a man, why can you be so emaciated?
In contrast it looks more like a woman’s there will someone who believe it is so
Teacher, please get out…get out
Hey! You gave me a scare
Teacher, please leave
What is there you are so frighten to react in such a way?
Please leave!!!! Please get out of here quickly!!!!!!
Abuji!
Yun Ah!
Yun Ah!….
This is a presser machine that will press & paste layers of paper together
Is that you?
What are you saying & referring to?
Are you are Il Wyol Dan’s daughter?
Are you Yun Ah?
Teacher, the woman you wanted to find for so long these 10 years,
is that me that you have now found her
I am sorry….I am sorry…I am sorry…
Why didn’t you tell me of this earlier?
When did you know about this?
I….
being a woman
I should have recognised you earlier as a woman from the start….
The 1st time I ever looked at your painting…..
I could see the woman’s heart in it
It is the longing for her long lost lover, from a perspective of a woman’s heart.
It is not a perspective from a man. That will never be ascertained.
In the scenery of the Dano Festival, when you draw the painting.
When you drew the painting of “Jumak” (Drinking Tavern);
it naturally came from a woman’s inner feeling
In day in a year where men are not allowed in; to enjoy time at the swings, freely to laughs, that is from the woman’s inner feeling
When other people are drawing drunken men enjoying pouring bowl of wine into their bowl,…..
you naturally drew it from the perspective of a woman’s inner feeling.
I should have taken noticed of this earlier
Is there still no news of progress from Kim Hong Do yet?
Yes Chona
Once they discover & expose the secret to the murder mystery of the 2 Artists that was killed 10 years ago.
That will be a justifiable reason to bring these perpetrators to succumb under my sword
It should be so, Chona.
When the time comes, we should be able to revered the Crown Prince Successor
Before then, the inner palace needs to tighten up security.
Now there is a matter that you need to attend to
Yes Chona. What is the matter?
I can’t find out any clues nor traces from Chusan. This is making us anxious
There wouldn’t be in existence of the “Ye Jin”; Ma Ma.
If there is, the palace would have been like a swarm of bees by now
That's not it, there must be something.
It's hard to predict Chusan's movement. If it is so then there is possibility of danger lurking.
If by any chance the matter that happened 10 years ago; Chusan is able to obtained whatever the trace of circumstantial evidence against us.
All of us will not able to safe guard our lives, please bear this matter in mind
Yes
Ma Ma
Well done on your effort. You may leave
Yes Orrishin
Portrait painting without a face
Without a face? What is the significance of this?
I am not too sure.
Dan Won, that brat is hard to predict
Please rest assure on this matter.
Kang Soo Hang left that 5 pieces of portrait painting, we have already have possession of it.
What other method is there now?
Wouldn’t they be able to find new traces of evidence?
If by any chance this evidence may lead or in connection with incident of 10 years ago
It has already been 10 years, there shouldn’t be anymore evidence left.
You are just getting yourself all worried
It is not that…it can’t be…
Wouldn’t be by chance that 10 years ago there is something that had been left behind without us realising it
Ah! No it can never be? How can it be?
No matter what, it is best to get the Daehensun’s personally to look & affirm into this matter
Hurry & inform Daehensun to look into the matter
Yes
Has Hye Won returned?
He is still not back yet
He is not back. Did he say where did he was going?
We don’t know. We don’t know where he goes each night to?
Every night?…
I understand
Are you in? May I come in for a while?
What is going on?
What is that?
It is nothing serious…it is just….
Is Aggassi not feeling well?
When did this start? Immediately ask the physician to come?
I am just fine. It is just a slight fever
I just need to rest a while…..I just want to lie down & rest
Please take good care of your Aggassi
What is going actually going on here that you allow that child to dress up like a man?
Am I asking you now what is going on?
I….really wanted to use her talent.
For her, I just wanted to preserve & shield her talent
So then it is just for her sake of her talent that you wanted to posses, you killed Il Wyol Dan?
Hey! This person…..Dan Won…the matter is not so
Then what is going on?
This is that 10 years ago, I heard the news that Il Wyol Dan was killed.
It is strange to me that there was no mentioned of the child.
What I have just heard it was just Il Wyol Dan & his wife Myeong was that brutally killed, so then….
Yun Ah! Where are you?
Yun Ah!….
Aigoo! You are really alive…you are alive…It is a relief…relief
Fine! From this day onwards, this child is your younger brother
Younger brother
Yes it is.
Come! What are you waiting for, just try to call him once & address him as Hyung? Quickly! Call him Hyung!
Hyung!
Well done. Call him once again Hyung!
Hyung! Hyung!…Hyung!…Hyung!
That child because she had suffered great traumatic shock,
eventually leads to she forgetting her own father’s name.
In these 10 years she will occasionally have some lapse of memory of who her parents was.
However I can’t be sure & I never got to confirm the matter.
Now in her it is the only evidence of Il Wyol Dan’s traces of existences.
It looks like she had inherited Il Wyol Dan’s artistic talents
So that is why you make use her talents in Orrishin’s dream roads to wealth & fortunes
It is not like that, I have always dote upon her.
Once that child picks the brush, her art works becomes vivid & lively.
I just wanted to develop her talent & meantime to safe guard her.
This is my honour as an Artist. I really aspire & admire her talents
This is just quibbles & excuses you are giving to yourself
What are you saying?
What are you going to do now?
You have committed a crime that you have allowed that child to go through life in dilemma that is neither man nor woman in order for her to concentrate to do painting.
However will she ever be able to become a person’s wife nor she can’t able to become a person’s husband?
What are you going to do about that?
After this, if she was in someone else’s house, which gender of her heart, does she need to uphold.
Do you want her to live the whole life like that?
That child, from when she was young….
it is only brush & paper. Other than that she wouldn’t look at anything else
Don’t you dare to go on talking this further
No matter what…I…have used my utmost effort
Please don’t for the sake of your own greed; make use of her ever again.
If you by any chance you continue this, I will never forgive you
From now onwards the life of Yun Bok…
no….the life of Yun Ah belongs to Yun Ah & is no longer yours Orrishin
How can you really do such a thing?
Aren’t you afraid of Il Wyol Dan’s spirit in the netherworld who be most saddened on what his daughter Yun Ah had become?
Please wait a moment.
Everybody is waiting & expecting to admire your art works.
What is wrong with your condition today?
It is the tussle scene at the Gibang.
Who has emerged as the triumphant winner in the tussle in the centre attraction of this painting.
It should be the one who is not wearing his clothes
The person who isn’t wearing his gat hat & just his sangtu, he look likes he is in dazed.
The person who is wearing red clothes looks like the referee.
The referee is there to prevent the matter, but the loser still doesn’t want to admit defeat & is protesting
Why are they tussling & fighting?
It is because of their own self respect or for the sake of the Gisaeng
It's both entity.
The previous mentioned tussle is brought out because there is a beauty amongst them,
this is why the men had a tussel to show their manhood and manly charisma in front of that beauty
Hye Won’s painting always has a story.
No wonder he is above & surpass all the Joseon Artist & peers.
Dan Won & Hye Won are Artist of the same painting genre with their own individual reputation of expertise,
this painting genre will last many millennia to come.
This is Joseon Dynasty Art’s destiny & after this will be appreciated by many to come
How about our Chawaseo groups together have a competition against each other?
This will be really interesting. Our Chawaseo’s Artists are really well skilled
As everyone may know that competition will always have victories & defeats.
For the sake of the future of our Art genre trends, it will not reap benefits.
The enthusiasm of an Artist will be lost.
I am not willing to allow my people to be despised and played with.
Don’t you think so?
Yes, please have a safe journey
I was really expecting for an Artist competition
Yes, please have a safe journey
I ask you not to come out. Just stay indoors & look after your health. Why are you so stubborn?
Doesn’t the high ranking Orrishin wants to listen to me playing the gayageum?
Seeing you like that, it leaves me feeling very heavy hearted
Then I will take my leave to go & rest
Yes
Wait!
Which brats is it that have soiled your beautiful shoes with mud
You are really very kind, Orrishin
Then I shall leave
Go & rest
The lady’s smiles also makes my heartache
That child Jeong Hyang. I heard that her father was a leader of the Namsandang troupe.
I also heard when she was young she had it heard traveling all over Joseon
What does that child actually like?
That child like….once you heard of it…you heart might jump out with fright
Then what is it actually?
I heard that every year her birthday her father will give her this present
Oh Ho! Why aren’t you saying this quickly? Then what is it actually
That child likes…..
How did he know about this? This is what Aggassi favourite food is?
It looks like you were the one who say it
I…No it isn’t…no…Aggassi.
You don’t ask me to say it; I will not dare to say it to anyone.
Aggassi, just have some. You need to recover quickly
You take & have it
Aggassi? You can’t go on being like this.
You have already not eaten your meals for a few days.
Is this because of the Young Esquire?
That night what did the Young Esquire actually say to you?
It was nothing
Is it because he has another lover?
I said it is nothing
Yes…it is so….Aggassi
Aggassi? Please try to forget about the Young Esquire
I really hate it.
I really hate that bridge that we 1st met each other.
I really hate when that person grab my wrist.
I hate it…but I still can’t let go of it. It is I who can’t
Aggassi? You should have only a wish & hope, only have a heart just to like Orrishin.
Why are you always rejecting him aside?
it is because he is not Artist…it is because he is not him
Aggassi?
My Abuji, what kind of person was he?
Your Abuji is a very extraordinary & special person….
Once I have any free time, I will look him up.
We will stay up in candle light & talk until dawn.
He will add this to determine the distance & records the distance of the machine.
This can help in lifting heavy laden.
Able to use water as leverage in order to churn energy.
This is the presser that we had seen in the paper making mill
I am starting to remember.
In Abuji’s Art room, there was a place he will experiment workshop.
“Gugang!” “Gugang!” The machines will emits those sounds.
I don’t know what painting was that called.
Abuji why would he draw this type of drawings?
That is what I was always curious about, so I ask him one day about that?
I am asking you, what is this for?
I don’t care about promoting to the ranks of the hierarchy.
I just casually take my brush & draw a few strokes in a painting is enough for me.
But in order to create a machine that able to produces paper, it should bring great benefits for the people
Your Abuji…….
Has the power & the ability in changing this world…
the longer we knew & understand each other, the more steadfast friend we became….
he was just that kind of a person
I am sorry…I’m sorry…Yun Ah!
The person who killed Abuji, we must find him. I will definitely revenge his death
Yes, yes we will. We must. I understand how you feel? However this matter we can’t rush into it
Abuji had left final words to me
What is that?
It is a story about some paintings
Where is it placed?
“Byeong Jin” Nyun….”Gap” row…. between 3rd & 4th painting
Next?
Muja Nyun “Yi” row…..between 2nd & 3rd painting
Is there any others?
That should be it
Let’s go
Yes
As you may know, this piece of painting, early perception is about that men tussle & fight over the woman.
However in this painting, there is another significant meaning
What is that?
The most important to men is not just women alone, for the tussle for the women, it is just bickering & quarrels
That’s fine. It is about power, self respect & most of all reputation.
Men tussle to safe guards these virtues. This is really a great significance in meaning
Yes it is
Shin Yun Bok’s paintings are not ordinary; his underline meaning to his painting is the one that needs to be praised.
Don’t you all think so?
Yes it is
Just like the men in the painting, we should start to open our own self respect to fight this out
Hmmm! Ah Ha!
Let’s us start quickly
Fine: We now are going to auction the painting of Shin Yun Bok.
As per normal house rules, the bid starts at gold tael of 10 nyang
There is a bidding is now of gold tael of 20 nyang
Now it looks like the ownership is very much determine
Fine! Is there anyone who will like to continue bidding?
The painting is about men folks tussling & fighting, it is not a battle that I will casually get into.
Today, Artist Shin Yun Bok’s newest Art works, I have the greatest satisfactory just to admire it.
This is to determine that our Joseon Dynasty have such outstanding Artist. I am forever grateful for that
This is our Chawaseo since it establishment is the most highest bid price painting
Hey Daehensun! I will like to meet the Artist who drew this painting. Can you invite him to come over?
Yes, I will do that
Ahem! Are you in Artist?
The secrets to this Artist is aplenty
The moon sink low & it is 3 Gyeong.
What is these 2 persons’ hearts, only both of them will know.
2 persons’ heart…both of them will know
2 person’s heart….both of them will know
What are you worried about?
Come & look at this painting
Put this at an angle. This couple of man & woman are hidden from people’s notice
What does that mean?
The Artist is concealing something in midst of this painting.
Jeong Hyang & this man in the painting is…
Orrishin! Pil Dan Aggassi has something to inform
Let her enter!
Yes, how is your Aggassi feeling better?
Why aren’t you answering my question? Feel free to tell me
Please hold on to Aggassi, Orrishin. She had not eaten a grain of rice, it has been several days
Can you able to explain in detailed?
Actually….
Speak up!
Aggassi is not feeling well, is because of her 1st love
What are you saying here?
it is because of her 1st love. Aggassi is going to fall sick to her death, Orrishin, please….
You better shut your mouth!!!!!
What is that?
What are you actual opinion of these paintings?
These paintings are too far inferior to be store in the Dohwaseo’s achieves…
Come, when a painting is not a painting, it could be a marker or an indicator
A marker of indicator?
Then…this is not the correct method brush strokes to draw leaves.
It had drawn to many crossed strokes, it is make to look likes to say that it is drawn as the leaves to the tree….
Then this is, it is wood “mu”…
Jung (dot)….
Then is it referring to tea on the table?
There are 2 tables here…
”Do Wu”?
It is the word “Sal” (kill)
I am not to be played a fool. This is the person I most trust
He (Day)…..Ha (Crane)….Shu Na Mu (Pine trees)….
Teacher?
Is this the painting you sent as greeting gift to celebrate the new year? Is that the significance?
Come let's see again.
Ha Gi (Crane)…Ha (Crane)…
Cho (bird)…..Se…Cho (Bird)…
Mul Kyul (Waves)….Mul Kyul (Waves)…Jo.(tide)….
Ah Chim (Morning)…
Ah Chim (Morning)….Jo (tide)?
Sin Nyun Jo (New Year Tide)
New year is a new day….day…significant is the year
Jo Nyun!!!!
Jo Nyun? (This character is from the crane painting)
Kill (This character from the 1st tree painting)
Jo Nyun kills, being killed by Jo Nyun
