I beg of you to spare the life of the youngster Artist’s life…..please I beg of you……

The money here is considerable amount of money
What are you saying; that you want Yun Bok to go to your Chawaseo? Is this money here is the cost value of it?

Episode 19 – The Fight
Is it today? Dan Won & Hye Won competing against each other
Yes, it is.
No matter if Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok were to win, it will be battle of the wits.
Therefore predicting the winner will be hard
At the end of this competition, the Daehensun will definitely take some cause of action.
You need to safe guard both the Artists’
Please rest assured
There is also…
A Portrait Painting without a face…Ye Jin Hwa Sa….
I am feeling very anxious about this
What are you referring to?
I heard within the capital, Dan Won & Hye Won’s Art competition has created a great stir & upheaval amongst the people.
Kim Jo Nyun’s method in handling this matter, I really discontented
His ingenuity, everybody says it surpasses everyone
Ancient saying, a cock needs to raise his head to crow. I'm afraid we are played into the plot of such an intelligent man. It may bring calamity to us.
Please don’t worry. He is more intelligent than the poisonous snake
You need to take care; just in case
Yes, Ma Ma
Today you are dressed more vibrant than ever before.
How is it?
Today is it Hye Won or is it Dan Won, who do you feel will win this competition?
To allow a Mentor & pupil to participate in this cruel competition, why do you say this as though it is just a casual event?
Life itself it is just a big game.
There are times that we need to make choices.
In this choice, you sometimes need to bet all you have on one stake.
This is what makes life interesting & challenge.
Why don’t you bet once on all you have…Dan Won or Hye Won,
who will be the victor of this competition?
Of course, I will predict that you will bet all you have on your lover Hye Won?
Orrishin!… Orrishin,
you reap the monetary profits are more versatile than the ghost itself.
However the way of the person’s heart, why can it surpass the wild grass on the road?
In order to own a person’s heart, you can’t also never be able to own the world as well?
Are you implying that I don’t understand a person’s heart? However when it comes to victory & defeat, I've never been wrong.
Mr. Dan Won & Yun Bok competing against each other, who will believe it will happened?
Look! Aigoo!
Here! For you
No need, Why don’t Teacher, please use this
This brush is appropriate with your fine & delicate brush strokes. You would require this. Here use this.
Until now, I still don’t understand,
why we have to participate in this Art competition,
and the need to determine the winner.
Why is this the only option?
Yun Ah!…Do you trust me?
If you trust in me, you must defeat me.
This is only way you can avenge your father’s death
What do you feel, Wu Sang Oran about Dan Won & Hye Won? Who have you laid your bets on?
Now we still don’t know. How much have they found out on this matter? We still haven’t determined this clearly, how are you able to laugh at this matter?
Uncle, please don’t worry. Didn’t Daehensun give us his personal assurance that he will bear all responsibility? Therefore be rest assured. Just admire how they place their life on this Art competition.
Therefore, who did you place your bets on then?
I have bet on Hye Won. Kim Jo Nyun will arrange it as such that Shin Yun Bok will emerge as winner. Don't you think so?
Of course. Today this Art competition Kim Hong Do is the loser, then he no longer able to draw another painting again

Hye Won this person’s painting; really can bring a person heart to vibrate. I am willing to take a bet on him
This Artist’s painting is really defined, however Su Sun (Jeongjo) still prefer Dan Won’s painting.
The people in the painting are in great health at heart.
Aren’t they really lively & vivid to present to the person who admires the painting, isn’t that so?
What do you want to use as bet, Ma Ma?
All competition comes with victor, there must be a loser too; this is what challenging is about?
Then fine.

Dan Won & Hye Won…
because of this competition they will definitely to pull out a dagger from their chest
Come, it is finally today…
The 2 artists’ fearsome battle of the competition this is part 2, the evaluation begins
He is back…he has returned..He is the 1st to return
Yun Bok! Have you drawn the painting?
Where is the Teacher?
Well done. In Han Si Gyeong (2 hours) we will called you. Please go in & rest
He is back! Mr. Dan Won had return.
Well done! While in the midst that we are preparing for the evaluation, please go in & rest
Is it an excellent painting?
Have you put your utmost effort in doing it?
Yes
How about yours Teacher?
As you have see it, my hands is not versatile & inconvenient, so instead I had to use my toes to draw the painting
Fine. We will start to evaluate.
The Orrishin present here will do their evaluation.
We will slowly savour & admired the painting to determine the victor.
As was stated yesterday, we have until dusk to decide on the winner.
The final verdict must be in accordance with Royal Household Bo Yong Gun Oran stipulates.
Now we will start the evaluation.
This is really lively & vivid
Dan Won’s in the centre of his painting have 2 different kinds of atmosphere point of view
Yes it is. Firstly from frontal view, he has drawn the overall environment of "Ssireum" ring & its surroundings
However if you can’t represent the energy of strength & zest of the environment,
but from the audience view point the "Ssireum" match is where we able to see the excitement of the "Ssireum" wrestlers
Sitting with the audience, from this view we can see how large the wrestlers are
So that is why in the painting, we see the perception of the 2 wrestles are enlarged, having the painting freeze at that moment to bring out the vitality in the painting
That is so. It looks as like we are in the midst the "Ssireum" match ourselves. It is like we are all watching this "Ssireum" match together
Do you agree to award a point?
Firstly what makes this painting exceptional is it's liveliness that is beyond comparison.
Please take a look. It sense that we are in the midst of painting seeing the dancer dancing
Both woman clothing in the painting have crimson & yellow feather hats.
It brings out the sense of vibrant movement.
The tense excitement, energy & velocity are represented in the women’s skirt movement.
In the twirl of the dance, the red ribbon on the feather hat & skirt are synchronized with the movement of the dance. This brings the graceful energy of their dance.
Then next we admire Dan Won’s painting,
The characters in Dan Won’s painting, every one looks like it is passing right before our eyes, with their lively expression in their face.
It is as though…..
The Artist observes & inspections every character & extracted the best expression and transferred it into paper.
Please look.
Each character’s expression are different and none have the same likeness. Each has its own expression.
Everybody in the ring watching will guess what the outcome of the fight will be, isn’t that so?
Dan’s painting portrays 2 different view point, so that people can have added focus on the "Ssireum" Wrestlers, therefore in Hye Won’s painting, there is also the same entity that is found
For us to concentrate on just one view point at the performance,
moreover too many people in painting were slightly dispersed in the painting.
So the choice was to bring the 2 woman dancers as focus.
The placement of Aristocrats (Yanban) towards edge of the painting to emphasise the focus on the 2 women.
This is the reason why Dohwaseo can’t accept an Artist that is different from others
What is there to be amazed about? Our Artist has embraced the heart of the women.
Are you willing to award a point for this?
You able to see a circular shape & outside that perimeter, it is surrounded by the placement of audience.
In the emptiness of the circular 2 "Ssireum" wrestlers with energy & intense strength, give the sense of balance
In total they are 7 people above the painting & 7 more at the bottom, in the centre the 2 dancers,
this is praise as excellent method of giving division to the painting.
In the centre placement of the painting are 2 Geommu dancers. It is the focal point of all people’s focus
Now come the time that a winner need to be decided, don’t you say so?
How can a winner be decided?
Is Art competition subject title is fight?
This painting has concealed the meaning of the theme, that should be the key determining the winner, isn’t that so?
Conceal? This is really an interesting method. What do you all think about this?
Then we will first do Dan Won’s painting. In this painting, who do you think it is the winner between the 2 wrestlers?
As I see it, the winner is the person who is being lifted
Then, the wrestler who is being lifted will be the eventual winner? It looks like he is about to lose his point of gravity
Looking at a glance he may be about to lose his point of gravity, but it is not so.
Just look at the wrestler on the left, both his feet are bedded to the ground but his point of gravity is already off centre.
He is using all his strength to lift the person up, but he is already putting himself in a fix in an off balance position to easily topple
Ha! Ha! Isn’t that so Dan Won
The winner of this "Ssireum" match,
it is this wrestler
What is the reason to that result?
If you can’t explained a comprehensive answer, it will be making a mockery out of the Orrishin here, the elders of the Art circle
Of course there must be an answer that should be a comprehensive that should be correct
Then what is it? Is there an actual answer to this?
The answer is…it is just in this painting,
it the right edge side of the painting, the answer is revealed on this 2 person
Please observe the 2 persons in question & their facial expression. Why are they so amaze with surprise about, that they should have the expression of gapping mouth?
Moreover their head are raise & the whole body is leaning toward the back.
What does this mean? It is to say that this wrestler here will be throws towards that area of theirs, immediately bring the left wrestle onto the ground
It is unexpectedly….you are indeed Dan Won
Victory & defeat is already be decided
Hye Won! It looks like it is hard for him to win
Wait! Wait! What with the situation inside?
Mr. Dan Won is leading by a point
See! I told you so.
I have already said from the start that Yun Bok can’t definitely surpass Mr. Dan Won’s talents
Ah! Just you wait & see
Yes, just wait & see
The dancing Geommu although it's an actual fight & it's just a play act. In the painting, in their face we can feel of death defying excitement.
Hye Won! What is conceal in this painting is the winner, is there any?
In actual fact, this is the duel fight between 2 Artists talents, just like warriors who are fighting to their deaths, it has the same principle
In this painting the victor, it is conceal & hidden beneath the movement of chima (skirt).
Firstly we look at the way the angles of the chima (skirt) are moving.
This movement of this woman’s dance comparison is slower than that woman.
That woman movement is very quick, however, please observe the feather in this woman’s hat the direction of the skirt,
wearing the red chima (skirt), the movement of the feather & the chima (skirt) are seen of the same direction, from left to right (clockwise)
& that of the woman who is wearing the blue chima (skirt) & the feather in her hat is on opposite direction, the skirt is going from right to left (anti clockwise).
This…it is to represent that her body point of gravity & her head’s point of gravity had already been lost.
Therefore in this paintig the eventual the loser will be thewoman who is wearing the blue chima (Skirt)
The hidden movement of chima (skirt) determines the winner.
This can give Dan Won’s painting a run to be on par.
Dan Won, what you feel about this?
It feels quick witted that painting can be of the same level in par
Are you willing to award a point?
Dong (point)
I am giving a Dong (point)
I also will give a dong
I also…a dong (point)
What is the situation now?
Now Dan Won & Hye Won are now with the same total amount of points, it's a tie
If it's that, then what if the victor can’t be decided? What will happen?
How can this be so? In this world where is there acompetition that a victor cannot be decided? No matter what a decision must be made.
Yes…yes… there must be a victor
What is the progress on the 2 Artists competition?
Yes, I heard that a winner hasn’t been decided upon
Still has not?
Kim Hong Do, after this Art competition is over, his fame as Bureau Artist will be destroyed
Yes it is. This time Daehensun have given his biggest contributed effort on this matter
That matter we will know after the completion. What if something should occur, you need to find a remedy to rectify the matter
Solution?
What if by chance Daehensun can’handle these 2 Artists in a proper manner.
All of us will put our life in great risk of in just one blow. Please bear this in mind.
What are we going to do that we can’t decide on the outcome of the victor?
There is a lot of money riding on the outcome of the competition,
how can we not able to determine the winner?
Don’t you all agree? If it so say those who are gathering outside will raise a riot of protest
What solution is there for this matter?
I have a method to decided on the victor
What is that solution then?
Both Artist giving their evaluated critiques on each other Art works that will decide the winner
Hye Won’s painting is the best of all Joseon. It doesn’t have the slightest of default
Dan Won’s painting too….
Please don’t you ever forget this? Only by defeating me, this is the only route you have to save yourself
Just as long as I can defeat you, this is my only route to save myself
You must defeat me. I will do my utmost to defeat you too. Please don’t forget these words I have said.
There are no faults in the painting. It is completely perfect
Dan Won’s painting has a grave fatal error
What is that, what error are you referring to?
The error is here, the man’s hands is drawn in reverse left & right
Dan Won, do you admit having this error?
Dan Won, you should have your reasons in doing so?
Dan Won! The likes of you as a Master Painter in such a great Art event like this competition should commit such a grave error. What is going on here?
I will accept & admit this error
It looks like this time we now can determined the winner.
Now, who is the eventual victor is prominent knowledge to us all?
Dan Won will you conceit defeat?
It is still too early to decided the winner
Dan Won, are you giving yourself excuses in delaying tactics.
The victor has already been determined. Dan Won, you just have to admit defeat
Please I beg you for a favour
You want me to bet on someone that can’t give me any actual guarantee of the outcome?
I do know that in doing so, I will be able to strike them all in a blow on that conniving merchant’s wealth. This is the best method to bring their downfall.
Please I beg you
This I can’t do. In the painting evaluation, they will be observing your actions & they wouldn’t stand by to see this with comments.
I am so sorry
Tonight all truth will be revealed & expose
Have you made your decision to put your resolution on the matter?
This is unbelievable & amazing
It is a difference shade of perception in the painting that was in this afternoon. It has an added intense.
Just a change in lighting. The light played & cast on it had completely alter the painting
In this painting I have use sepia yellow, although it is appropriate to the "Ssireum" rings.
However because it had absorbed the twilight ray of the dusk in its intense…
in this moment glance the fight had now become the actual fight of struggle & strive of the "Ssireum" match.
The winner will be the actual winner
Looking at how the ray had played on the painting, this is where it significant meaning lies
So this is to say that past error can be rectified with this point.
Fine! Now we can erase that point we have strike off with this replacement point
There is still time left in determine the winner, Hye Won’s painting we still can evaluate further
Enough said; the sun has already set over the horizon. We will decided as it is
