Special Episode Part 1
How are you, I am PD Jung Tae Yoo
How are you, I am Moon Geun Young
How are you, I am Script Writer Lee Young Eun
How are you, I am the Novelist/Writer Lee Jung Myeong
Today we will like to introduce to you the drama series “Painter of the Wind” Special.
We will like bring out some insights to the touching scenes what was filmed.
I, myself including the PD & the Script writer, together will give everybody some explanation of the highlights on the drama.
I hope this will enable you to reminiscence the taste of this drama's well loved scenes.
PD this should be the 1st painting that was highlighted in the drama, the painting “Waiting”
Correct. At that time, the painting (Waiting) showed the extreme emotions of vexed & worried asking who this principal subject was.
We decided to use Queen Jeong Sun as the actual character to add more zest to the drama
The original painting “Waiting” doesn’t have a mole under the ear, isn’t it?
Yes, that is correct. But I think that this painting “Waiting” should be considered as Artist Shin Yun Bok’s representation of his Arts works
It is correct. Although it is pure & naïve, it is also strong & powerful
Yes
Yun Bok running for her life
From the start, looks like she is running in the marathon style
This will bring her to where she meets Jeong Hyang for the 1st time. This scene had great significance…..this is the place …..
The scene used in here is the 2nd take. I was very satisfy with this scene
Compare to the 1st take, this had a better feel to it
Queen Jeong Sun often slams her hand on the table
Because she is a Noble Aristocrat woman she can’t use any other form to vent her frustration this is her only resort
It even amazes me that “Waiting” could depicted Queen Jeong Sun. It is in the dialogue of the script, we can feel her sorrow & grief.
We also can feel that because of love, she is a person suffering in agony.
Nevertheless in the palace, once she returns her behaviour & conduct will change giving a strong & intense character. This brings anunusual amazement
You are able to see the extreme sides of her face
Yes
I feel that the main point has similarities to Shin Yun Bok’s painting. The same person in difference in backdrops; will give a different feel
“The ferocious tiger” is the art work to represent Kim Hong Do
Yes. This painting according to legend it was drawn simultaneously with Mr. Kang Si Yun’s “Old leopard".
There are also other resources that say it was drawn together with Yi Yin Mun.
In accordance to what I can see, it was Kim Hong Do who drew the painting solely on his own
Actually if the result for this scene was not favourable, we already have a back up scene to do.
However once it was filmed it portrayed the feel & conveyed our intentions, we just went out to shot it like that.
We took a total of 5 days. We change to a lot of locations to shoot it, had to incorporate CG (Computer Graphic) as well
I am sitting here; seeing Kim Hong Do wearing spectacles is very strange.
It should be said that the spectacles at that time is not common yet
They were called “aids”
Yes, I don’t know what the PD’s have any particular purpose in it
In this scene, I like the use of charcoal to do the drawing.
Although it is rough & coarse, the drawing of the forest & scenery is unusually even.
Here the use of the coarse pencil will bring out a bold & unconstrained painting. I feel is amazing. The scenery is really excellent
This is where Kim Hong Do jumping off the waterfall into the water
He nearly fell to his death
Yah! That day really gave us a scare; we even call the 911 & asked them to standby on set
This drama the accidents that is occurring is really exceptionally far too many
This is not a sageuk about battlefields. I don’t actually understand why it is so?
So it is
Risking one’s life to draw a painting.
This scene had been divided to many different locations to shoot it
Yes it is.
Kim Hong Do falls into the water & the 1st person recalls & thinks of is his 1st love
This is taken from Park Shin Yang’s own inspiration and was added to it.
Ability to meet his future 1st love. It may be a good omen
The dialogue “Have you captured the tiger” I think it is excellent. He asked “Artist, did you or didn’t you capture the tiger?
It is to say that whether the tiger had capture in his drawing
The conception of the dialogue sentence is excellently said
The Artist must able to transfer living reality on to his art works. This is often what Yun Bok says?
The living reality has its sense of actions. Doesn’t it have the sensation to see it very life like & lively?
Yes, it is
This will lead to Hong Do to eventually meet with Yun Bok
This will lead to allow being the sense of perception for Hong Do to come eventually a cross to meet with Yun Bok
Yes
This is “Drunken Student playing flute under the Pine Tree”, this is the painting that bring Hong Do to meet with Yun Bok
Yes
This scene was shot earlier, but I particularly like this scene. It blended in well. I recalled we rehearsed for 2 hours before this scene was shot
Yun Bok saying “Eh! Han Si Gyeong (2 hours)” feels very convincing
This taste of portrayal of upright & righteous & her body language movement action forms Yun Bok’s image
I am so glad & pleased
Is that Tuk Bok? This is your 1st time wearing a “Tuk Bok” (Korean Male hanbok, the outer coat)
yes
I feel it suits you well
This scene is masked with mocked implications. Dan Won is looking on helplessly seeing a Junior reproducing his art work.
Consequently this scene had attracted viewer’s observation. This is the 1st time he sensed Yun Bok has talent
This is the painting “Young Man plucking Red Azalea”
At that time, there was a popular book “Sang Hwa Chon” circulating. In that book it is said if you can catch hold of a woman’s hand, you can catch hold of the person’s heart
No matter whether it is ancient or modern times, they are always will have these people to swindle the Artist
What if….
This scene depicts to reminiscence what was it like the genre in those days. This is one of our drama’s intent
This really depicts & expresses the genre of the times in the drama
Because of the Artist’s genre, so we need to reflect the times of the genre….in all aspects
If you put it this way, then the feel is different
She just grabs hold of Jeong Hyang's hand
Just like it said in the painting “Young Man plucking Red Azalea”
Said that if you catch hold to the hand….
The scene is in corresponding with it…
Yes, it partners to it
There is also the scene where Hong Do grabs hold of Yun Bok’s hand in the same manner when Hong Do peels off Yun Bok’s false moustache.
It is the grab hold of the person’s wrist as an interpretation to get both persons to link together.
Yes
It's meant to link them up
This scene was shot with great diligence. It seems that we had use a whole day to shoot this
Yes
Also many dialogues were said. This scene gives an expression to the Gayageum Gisaeng & as the Artist’s woman 1st encounter,
without the slightest utter, probe into the Artistic atmosphere.
It is to give a sense of mutual love for each other spending over night.
I have use utmost effort to do the best on this. I don’t know whether it had reaped that result that was intended
The scene where the sound of strumming of the gayageum & the brush stroke orchestrating a single movement,
it is really heartfelt & also portraying the relationship between the man & woman that type of intense
Like resonance…
Feel the type of resonance.
Honestly seeing the scene actually enable to feel is added more intense & powerful.
I had invited the Gayageum expert & the same time asked the Painter to simultaneously to do this shoot for the scene.
Our cameraman started rolling his camera, never once stop his camera. The scene was running about at least 10 minutes. We didn’t know where to stop rolling the camera
When I was observing from the sides while they were shooting this scene, it was really mesmerizing.
The movement of the brush stroke by the Art Professor & the strumming techniques of the Gayageum expert.
It is really done & was perform so well that those who were watching were all spellbound. Wah!…..This is what they call Art
Yes, it correct. It is call Art
After that day, The Art Professor started gayageum lessons
Finally the start of the Punishment of the Crushing of the hand
This punishment may consider Lee Eun Young’s creation or invention
Historically this kind of punishment doesn’t exist
If an Artist loses his hand, the significance of existence vanishescompletely
This can be considered as it is Dohwaseo most horrifiying & heaviest punishment
Yes, this is my elder brother Young Bok that I most rely on. Young Bok Hyung emerge in the scene
It looks like both of you are contesting for the best performance awards
Is that so?
Compared to what was written & to see the actual shooting of the scene, it really leave us to be marvelled & exclaimed
This is that famous & celebrated do it yourself Punishment of the Crushing of the hand
The scene where she pound her own hand
Seeing this scene, you can really feel that Yun Bok is going to use those rocks to injure her hand
She will get injured, exactly
When Yun Bok entered the time of despair, Hong Do catches hold of her hand
This painting is “Gun Sun Do” The group of fairies
We shot this almost 3 days. Recalling it was the worst 3 days of nightmare
The Novelist never had this painting in his book
Yes
This should be considered the most intense to bring both of these “Giants” inspired spirit for their Arts
I wanted to introduce these “Giants” joint effort creating the painting
Actually, this enable us to realise & understand the period of Dan Won’s Art Works. When he was young the flair of his painting, it is coincide to this drama
Recently, isn’t there a trend on painting therapy? This is to present Yun Bok’s process in the painting, in the midst of healing to reverse the setback of despair mental state
Yun Bok is an Artist, so this way she can see it, there is no need for speech, she can feel it
Yes, it should be that way. I, although not Shin Yun Bok, seeing Hong Do draw, I will feel that “It was me, I also wish to draw as well
This is basic instinct, this to say for an Artist.
The wish to draw. This type of strong & intense brush stroke, this have already diversed totally from the traditional Joseon painting, implies a type of strong & intense force
Correct. The size, is like the nowadays the super murals that are painted on the outdoor walls. It is of that type
We can feel Hong Do’s Art Works the type of strength & enthusiasm
No one will ever thought at this moment that this eventually will become a very big painting
The painting have to be done at one go, so before starting to draw you should prepare all the stakes
Yes
Here we can see the overall intention the painting, it is excellent
This is amazing, looks like magic
If there is a slight mistake, it will affect the whole painting
Now he remembers the moments he encountered these people on the street market
Jeong Hyang’s servant girl, the one call Mi Nyun
Here I feel that Hong Do believes that Yun Bok is a genre Artist
Can draw in living reality?
The actual reality depicted in people’s life, it is directly transfer on to the genre of the painting
It looks like as though both of them are dancing together
In modern term, it should be the waltz. We want to present to the audience lively & vivid scenes of the painting.
The kind that you will step on feet, hand bumping into hand, aren’t this exactly similar with a dancing scene? The movie “Yan Il Sa Rang Go”
“Ghost”?
It is correct
I can recall & reminiscences the shot as that kind of scene
This scene had to go through many disputes. In the 8 pieces of the mural screen, there is one piece which is empty. This was tarnished as the result of that accident
The tarnish painting couldn’t be redone due to time constraints, so it is left empty
Yes
This scene really brings out their intelligence & wisdom
Yes
Actually this mural occurs is its kind almost naturally by chance. Everybody would say that the Deities came down to draw
Yes
It feels the murals will had a lot many by chance occurrences, especially it was because when it was drawn stroke by stroke
I feel it is not just the murals; it should be all kind of Artistic aspects. Writing is an Author, draw a painting is an Artist
Even including us the Artists who are acting in this
The painting of “Dano Festival” is Shin Yun Bok best accomplish fame painting
It is a really amazing & extraordinary piece of painting
Yes
It is this way, all the conditions are set, the space & people at that moment in time transferred into the painting.
This, although I am not an Artist & not really familiar understanding it.
However I do feel that the Artist would had felt that way
This scene, had us worried for a long time because it looks like a very erotica phonographic
It will easily raise misunderstanding, so we change it to black & white to stress a little of fantasy significance
How the scene revolves around, it looks like audiences will say that it's associating with lesbian affair.
I don’t feel that this is so.
I would think that Jeong Hyang is considered most likely or not in Shin Yun Bok’s heart is Goddess
Correct!
This is just that kind of initiator to create that desire of lust
Correct!
Also to arouse inspiration
This one type of medium to arouse inspiration
Yes, it is
When Yun Bok was here working out a plot the composition of the painting. It was strange that I could sense the joyful feeling on every strand line
It is the same intent like the mural. We had consulted with the Professor Lee Jong Mok who was among our Artists.
She told us, if you stare at the empty paper, you will see it. It may be just for a moment, you will see it.
Wish the painting, draw the painting. She said that the brush will naturally get picked up & move towards the paper
This kind of scene, it looks like the spirits are guiding me
When I write, there are times it will
It is like someone read the manuscript & I am just here copying it.
The Artist is as the likes of Michelangelo can be able in a piece of marble stone can see the figure that is concealed in it
Yes, it is correct
Chisel out the outer layers, todiscover & find out the inside. It is the same feeling
It is that exactly. The Fine Arts has the same common perception
This is now….
“Hu Bun” (Colour powder)
“Hu Bun”……is now being applied to paint it. It need to use white as a based colour prior to other colours
I do think that those two were Yun Bok & Hong Do
I also think it is so
Yes
We didn’t shoot that scene, so it feels that this way, it brings out some amusement
Yes.
This is our drama Hong Do
Yes, in the painting of “Gun Sun Do” when we were painting they were thinking of each other
Yes
The “scene from the drinking tavern” is the same topic subject, different paintings.
It is to describe both the talented Artists’ counter challenge against each other in this auxiliary episode
This is using soy sauce to draw
It is correct, it is soy sauce.
It is soy sauce
It is the soy sauce that you use to dip for your pajeon
If we were to put a plate of pajeon, the audience will understand it easily
We wanted to use water. However soy sauce had a better effect
I really expecting the next painting to be
This is really sorrowful scene. The next painting; what is the content about? I'm awaiting it too.
