PD Jung Tae Yoo
It may be from young, I learned to paint, and this novel was a favourite of mine.
I felt that this novel can be turned into a drama series it should be excellent.
Eagerly I wish to have this novel produced
Read by many, the best seller “Painter of the Wind” (“Par Ram Mae Hua Yi”) with substantial content & added beautiful paintings in it, finally able to present on screen to the audience
PD Jung Tae Yoo
It had already pass the year 2000, I wish to have them returned to the modern world
Perfectly reflecting Artist Kim Hong Do’s enthusiasm & righteousness, the actor Park Shin Yang.
Also Joseon’s outstanding talented Artist Shin Yun Bok’s character that had to transform herself into the Nation’s little brother is played Moon Geun Young.
The casts consists of top notch actors & actresses.
Therefore it held of audiences’ attraction & attention, had them awaiting impatiently.
These are the lives of Joseon most outstanding Artists, each scene are depicted in an unusual splendour.
This 70 minutes arouse the likes of the Arts, the drama “Painter of the Winds” like pieces of painting each with beautiful scenes & historical value,
also the touching & moving story of the characters that are depicted are brought forward to you.
Now I will like to invited the audience to today’s special
This is the time of Joseon Dynasty, talented accomplished Artist Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok’s story;
it is brought out by the Novelist’s own imagination, a lively & warmth historical drama “Painter of the Wind”.
We can’t ever imagine what it's like in the times of these Artists who had lived.
Each piece of painting’s of its best quality historical drama.
Audience! We now introduce to you the best scenes from the drama.
Now we find out behind the scene of these 3 scenes & its secrets
The scene where Kim Hong Do is at Miu Hyang San drawing the tiger, received a sudden command to return to Han yang.
I have shot many scenes of this kind, just wanting to have another try.
This would be the best result that we were able to capture.
Now as I recall, it is the most difficult scene yet so far
In the depth of the forest, all of a sudden, Kim Hong Do discovers a tiger, in a sudden haste hides himself to draw the tiger
Ah! What to do now? Kim Hong Do wasn’t careful & drops the charcoal was being chased by the tiger.
This scene what's the secret behind it? Would the beast & man be in the same set, wouldn't that be dangerous?
Therefore, some of the crew went to shoot this footage in the zoo.
The tiger is running after the piece of meat on a pole to make it run.
They decided to shoot the tiger alone for the chase scene.
Then combined together with Park Shin Yang’s scenes.
This is from Park Shin Yang scene, listening to instructions.
PD Jung Tae Woo who explains on set.
This is the scene where the tiger will be chasing Kim Hong Do.
Although his expression does not reflect it
The tiger will let out a roar?
You will have to squat here and then flee quickly
Park Shin Yang & the PD, before the shoot, they were seen joking around, just like real brothers
Hong Do moves back, the tiger in a moments glance taken a back.
This do I need to drop it
Please could someone read the lines of the tiger?
Park Shin Yang requests the crew to help providing the tiger’s roar.
Is the crew willing to comply with his request?
Can you roar a little louder?
Action
Roar!!!!!
With the crew's cooperation the shoot was a success
This is what happened in the actual scene.
First is to shoot the tiger chasing then to shoot Park Shin Yang being chased after.
Finally taking the 2 individual shots & merging in to one by CG.
This scene is completely done.
Kim Hong Do is being chased by the tiger.
Particularly this scene isn’t for Park Shin Yang, this leaves memories with PD Jung Tae Yoo’s.
This is the most satisfying scene yet so far
There were many to anticipate.
We did not go to America, where we get trained tigers to perform for the shoot.
In this a poorly set environment we face in this shoot, it's the only way we can get to shoot & piece together.
The result turned out very well. I am satisfied.
What we are seeing now, is Shin Yun Bok’s holding to her guilt & despair, that her Hyung had been chased out to Danchongsuo.
Not allowing Shin Yun Bok to be in down, Kim Hong Do wants her to wake up & regained composure,
by throwing her into the waterfall, he had to use a really harsh method.
However Shin Yun Bok wasn’t floating above the water, Kim Hong Do started to worry
Moreover Kim Hong Do was chased by the tiger to the edge of a ridge. To escape from the tiger he jumps off the ridge into the water.
The audience have chosen this similar scenes “Painter of the Wind” one of the best scenes.
The frighten Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok’s thrown into the water, what secrets are behind these scenes
This is Chon Bok Dae San, So Ok Waterfalls
Moon Geun Yang is in the water & Park Shin Yang is standing at the edge of the water. A cameraman is in the water to cover Moon Geun Young
Moon Geun Young falls back & struggles in the water. Moon Geun Young was wearing a weighted belt to sink herself for the struggling shot
Moon Geun Young, first scene of being thrown in & struggling in the water at the waterfalls.
In order to make it more realistic, regardless of the cold freezing water, she struggles on continuously.
For Moon Geun Young who is in the water, to say words like “refreshing”.
Although he is the teacher, at this moment, she must hate him the most, one does feel that Moon Geun Young is giving her most utmost effort into this scene.
In this scene, owing to Moon Geun Young’s effort, the shoot progressed smoothly
This is the shot of Moon Geun Young’s face at close up.
Today Moon Geun Young is fated to be in the water, for just a few minutes of a scene. It was shot since early morning until now continuously to get it right.
It is said that Moon Geun Young’s acting is full of zeal. However the many times she is in the water she can’t hide fatigue.
But once the PD shouted “Standby”, she gets back in to the scene & shoots it with great effort. We admire her as an Angel, an excellent actress.
It looks like the PD had shouted “OK”. Did he or did he not shout “Ok”?
It is fine, you can come out now
Finally after 7 takes the shoot was successful.
After the hard scene is over, Moon Geun Young gets to come up.
The staff is using a huge towel to keep her warm.
Don’t say that her eyes & nose had gone in water.
Looking at her, it makes us feel that she is very cold
However, her scene here being in the water, is just the start to many
This is Suwon Scuba Diving centre. She now enters the start of the actual shoot.
First she is wearing a diving suit, then begins some safety lessons
Listening to the driving instructor’s & taking air from the regulator. How to inhale & to then in exhale through the mouth, learning slowly step by step
Just like it is now, you will have to breathe this way when you enter the water. Come! Go down! Down! Down! Ok! Now float up…OK
Finally the shooting begins. She had learned well, & able to breathe underwater with the regulator.
The underwater shoot we see in the drama had Computer Graphic incorporated in
It was shot many times, a few times it was NGs
Oh! Is there many more?
I don’t know. Don’t know yet? Is there a lot of me tumbling?
Oh! Because your body tumbled
Oh! Tumble slightly. Is there any where in there that is not satisfactory?
Just stop until here. OK! Well done
Then how about the underwater scene of Park Shin Yang? How was it shot successfully?
Park Shin Yang, scene was shot on top of the ridge, there were elements of danger in it.
No matter what the crew & actor were determined to put their utmost effort to shoot the scene.
Please get ready. 1…2…3
Just wait….just hold on
Shin Yang Hyung, please adjust the paper…when you run. When shooting the frontal shoot please bear in mind. 1st do the chase scene. Action!
Cut! Do another take. OK!
Please another take
Please rush forward out the next time
Would it be better, that I should fall & slip here?
No need. You can’t, do it there
Please get ready. Camera!
Shoes, I lost the shoes. Anyone seen the shoes? This…
Can’t see. We can’t see it. There…it is over there
Please go in
Who had worn this before?
Moon Geun Young & Park Shin Yang, for this scene they have done their utmost effort. Please give them around of applause
In order to describe & emphasise the meanings behind the paintings, CG is use to enhance it
This man is had been praised as the most excellent Actor, now his complete personality emerges in front of the audience, this is Park Shin Yang
There are times he is a romantic lover, there are times he is a gangster.
Each time Park Shin Yang gives his outstanding performance.
This now he is transforms into Joseon Dynasty Artist Dan Won Kim Hong Do who created his own painting genre
An emotional passionate actor Park Shin Yang.
As this drama portrays the story about Joseon Dynasty 2 renowned Artists “Painter of the Wind” we can see his acting abilities
He has a natural warmth enthusiasm. It feels that force of will.
At the same time he can bring these elements together. I feel it is an image of a good actor
To give the utmost effort to do one’s best is this drama motto tag line.
He is very enthusiastic & there are times he is hard in agony
When Kim Hong Do in Miu Hyang San drawing the tiger, suddenly he receives an order to return to Han yang.
We will follow according to script to expedite the scenes, just wants to try this, frequently what we do on set.
Recalling back, it is the most difficult scene of all.
We were shooting close to broadcast date, especially the running to the waterfall, meeting the pouncing tiger at the edge of the ridge
It is the same as meeting with the pouncing tiger at the ridge scene.
Come to think of it, it has every sense of danger in that part. In that, Park Shin Yang’s straw shoes was broken, it was holding together by just a straw.
All of a sudden he disappeared from frame. Wah! He slips on it, trip & fell
The scene that gave everyone a scare. It gave all staff there a scare.
However as before he wanted a satisfactory shot so he ran toward the edge of the steep ridge. It had everybody on the set exclaimed
In order to protect his talented pupil Shin Yun Bok, Kim Hong Do, himself was willing to take the punishment of hand crushing. This is what he said to Shin Yun Bok
However once Park Shin Yang transforms to Kim Hong Do. In a moment notice he will become Dan Won.
Dano Festival. In order to check on Shin Yun Bok, Kim Hong Do resorted to stealing woman’s clothes.
It looks effortless, as if he has done it before. I'm not saying this is wrong?
He himself is laughing out loudly. However he will soon transform into Kim Hong Do & seriously steal clothes
The next scene. Is Park Shin Yang dressed in woman’s clothes?
If a man dresses in lady’s clothes, is that how they will look? He looks he is most unsuited to wear it. How does he feel about it?
I do feel that she is an actress who gives a boundless effort. Her age is still very young, but she is very thoughtful.
There are many areas still is process of maturity. There is a big chance that she will take this far. We get to feel that everyday she is changing.
The artist that shared joint billing with Park Shin Yang in “Painter of the Wind” & the biggest major contributor is none other Nation’s younger sister that had mature into womanhood, Moon…Geun…Young.
What's the difficulty in playing a character of a woman pretending to be a man? What outstanding acting ability does she need to posses in order to bring this character out?
The scene where she pound her own hand with the rock. That scene was solely depending on the actress’s ability to bring out to the screen.
So that day, there was no one who could assist her. There was no one there that she could interact; it is purely done on her own.
She had surpassed the capability compared to what I had imagine the scene to be
Because of her, her brother was chased out of Dohwaseo, a place declared as a lowly & despised place in Danchongsuo. She then started to curse herself.
For a young actress it would be difficult to hold solo performance on a scene on her own.
This expectedly Moon Geun Young brought this out exceptionally well to have her peers praise her for her performance. For this is her best performance yet so far.
The crew needed to rebuild the stone stacks. We needed to console them too
She really often likes to say this phrase
This….can I do another take?
Is it?
Yes
She will not let off her guard down to do each scene. It is her enthusiasm & zeal that captures the frame of the scene
Is it a quiver scene?
It is
Just to glance a moment then go out, after that it had already gone too far
Shin Yun Bok had just pounded her hand and determined not to draw again. The scene where she was carried by her teacher Kim Hong Do & thrown her into the water.
Nevertheless didn’t bother to give much care about the freezing weather. She courageously goes into the water.
I will like to ask her a question. “Where does her courage comes from?”
Actually this scene had concealed Moon Geun Young’s greatest effort.
Although it is just a scene, in order to be perfect, she underwent breathing through a regulator
Wearing a wet suit to shoot the scene, seeing in the deep waters, sinking to shoot the scene.
We are able to see her cuteness & zeal in acting out the scene. This is really a “Pro”
Difficulties went into making this scene. This scene underlines the many people’s who contributed & laid their efforts & Moon Geun Young’s own enthusiasm.
This is the attraction that is found in “Painter of the Wind”
For the scenery “Dano Festival” We had to find the exact similar environment that is depicted in the painting, so we can shoot the “swing” scene. There isn’t such a swing found.
“Dano Festival”, where Shin Yun Bok dressed up pretending to be a woman, scene of the swing.
For a person who had always been in man clothes, it is not easy to get a scene where she can be dressed as a woman. That excited her.
We have never seen such a heroic spirited youth. Here we see the cute young girl Moon Geun Young. There are technical difficulties to shoot this scene.
At the edge of the stream, they needed to build a swing & it has its risk of dangers. The swing need others to pull in order for it to swing.
It requires strength & stamina. The shooting this scene in itself had already the risk of danger.
In order to do this scene, Moon Geun specially trained & practises herself on the swing. During the shoot, she was so daring to swing the swing higher
There is a scene where you need to kick the bells. Wah! Will the actresses be able to do it?
Moreover they are 2 persons on the swing swinging.
If there is 2 persons the risk of danger is added. So that why we have a safety wire prepared. In the swing & the waist of the actress, we hook it with safety wire.
If even you let go of both hands, swinging, the safety wire is there.
But Moon Geun Young suddenly suggest that the safety wire not to be used at all, so that her expression can be natural, moreover if we use the safety wire, we need to have it erased later during CG in post production.
The safety wire will tend to pull the clothes upwards. She said if it is this way, the shot would not be seen as comfortable.
So she went directly to the swing & swing it herself. I was really amazed
No matter what the challenges are she will do her utmost.
This is the enthusiasm of an actress. When there is involvement of a 3rd party, her 1st challenge was riding a horse.
This was the horse that I praise yesterday for being beautiful. Did you remember that I rode you yesterday?
You need to hold slightly tighter, tighten slightly. Pull here then it will turn its body to that direction, just like you are holding right now.
It looks like she has already acquired the ability to ride the horse. It feels that she learn things quite quickly
It looks sufficient
Oh! It is not bad. Cut!
The 1st time riding a horse, there was some fear in it.
Before riding it, I was afraid but when actually riding it, there wasn’t any.
The horse, how should I say, very kind & warm. Hmm! This horse is very obedient.
However when it was actual shooting, the close up of Moon Geun Young riding was on a contraption mounted on the back of the truck
This is very tiring. For the sake of the character Shin Young Bok, this excellent actress will over come all odds to make it a success. This is the real Moon Geun Young
This is together with Park Shin Yang. Moon Geun Young who is becoming more matured & excel in her acting.
Their combination achieved & raised the acting performance multiple times
I would have thought he is not suited to dress in a lady’s hanbok. Never would I thought he will be so natural in it.
As long as they are together, we get to see what other experiences yet to be felt in their intense & strong performances.
This energy forms the core of “painter of the Wind”. We can see these excellent performances.
It is not only the main cast, even the colourful supporting casts, the effortless staff crew creating a successful “Painter of the Wind”.
The audience’s word good reviews & words of encouragement, is for us the biggest moral booster.
The casts are busy acting for me.
The casts & crew are looking at me & to give their heart & enthusiasm. This is the biggest driving force for me.
The hope
The period of Joseon Dynasty when Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok created the painting genre. This is their story.
In order to bring it out alive “Painter of the Wind”. The writer & the drama staff together brings this novel to the screen.
Now the characters had raised many aspects that brought peoples interest.
The audience had given interest and also raised the drama's expectation. “Painter of the Wind” had attracted overseas attention.
Even the netizen had also been enthusiastic about this drama.
The actors & actresses are getting better reviews on the drama. Recently the netizen had created Moon Geun Young - Shin Yun Bok to a popular feature.
Her cute expression had brought popularity. However the audience like the drama “Painter of the Wind” for other reasons.
This drama on Joseon painting genre & the mural painting as a subject for this saeguk.
The 1st time, an audience takes an insight look; it should bring out a sense of interest & curiosity.
It is also the great main cast, so it is well liked. This should blend together to bring out the best results
Each episode broadcast, the audience will leave comment on the blog, raves of comments for the drama.
This is subject on having beautiful scenes in this historical drama set up are the main driver in this drama series.
Here we have a lot of raves about them until they have been gives a nickname “Dan (5) Nyang couple”.
Who are the “Dan Nyang couple”?
Just look into the website & search that, you will find out “Dan Hyang couple’s” romance love story.
The “Dan Nyang Couple” refers to Shin Yun Bok & Jeong Hyang.
This emerged because Shin Yun Bok holding the “Dan Nyang” & begging Jeong Hyang that Shin Yun Bok wants her to play a tune on her gayageum.
This is “Painter of the Wind” newest created dialogue tag lines.
The “Dan Nyang couple” is definitely sad & moving romance story.
However it is sad, during the shoot we see a different side of Shin Yun Bok.
Yes
The next we will do a rehearsal run. Rehearsal! Just stand in position
Until tomorrow, my hand….
Just think of it as the actual situation happening in reality
Does this actually require more? It is getting awfully worse as it carries on.
Come, let’s go for a take
No matter when or where, Shin Yun Bok warms herself up with dancing. This is the cute version of Shin Yun Bok.
However in the drama, the scene takes a step back that hasten one’s running tears to take pity on a good person like Shin Yun Bok.
Nowadays there are many people who had made them into a pair of love birds.
Now there are audience who hope to see the progress between Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok
Both Shin Yun Bok & Jeong Hyang at the present moment, Shin Yun Bok thinks of herself as a man.
It shouldn’t be considered it as lesbian relationship.
Moreover Jeong Hyang believe that Shin Yun Bok is a man, however the gender is less important, the more important fact is the relationship that both of them had in their own Arts.
A person that will lead to bring her music to the highest peak & the other an Artist becomes one of the pioneers in her painting genre.
Both of their relationship is more towards their Arts. When the times where there is no recognition to it, it brings out that significance. This will then be accepted by the audience.
The 1st person to acknowledge & give you that recognition should be in the end the most important person of all, it should belongs to the Arts.
Lee Eun Young
Firstly in this couple, Shin Yun Bok & Jeong Hyang. It said were compatible, however there is some slight suspicion. How did both of them develop their relationship, shall we have a look.
He wants to safeguard Shin Yun Bok. He wanted to safeguard & protect this person’s talents & abilities.
It should be in this line of thinking. Meanwhile it will be seen by others it has surpassed the sentiments of Teacher Student relationship.
Now it is still the relationship between Mentor & pupil, however there are many who predict & forecaste the future developments of the delicate & subtle love relationship of Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do.
The contrast between the both of them. Their relationships expecting an unusual curiosity. If you want to know what the end is, we can only know by watching
It is because Shin Yun Bok in itself is just a person that is sincere as a man as well as a woman, with Jeong Hyang’s relationship & also with Kim Hong Do.
Which relationship is genuine? I feel that both relationship are genuine. But love is always selfish in its way, isn’t it?
Everyone wish to posses the love for their own. Therefore you can’t have both relationships simultaneously.
There will be moments a choice will have to be made. At this present moment the drama developments on it. Before reaching to this stage,
Shin Yun Bok will be reluctant to let of any one go. It should be this way.
However, the audience who expects to see the actors & actress don’t get themselves hurt or suffer injuries during filming.
Moon Geun Young was hurt because of an accident; hope that she will have a speedy recovery to resume the shoot.
Next we will invites the original Novelist of “Painter of the Wind” Lee Jung Myeong to come & discuss his insights & review about the drama of the same name “Painter of the Wind”
Lee Jung Myeong
In the drama, Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok another aspect, a brand new completely different aspect to present to the audience.
Consequently Kim Hong Do is a very bold & uninhibited, very eccentric type of character, very homourous.
Shin Yun Bok is a man…..woman who pretends to be a man, the unusual aspect of a woman. I felt that the casting was really well done.
Therefore … I in the novel that I wasn’t able to see the actual form of image of the character.
I feel that the drama with its the casts had come out well
The night before Shin Yun Bok to be Punished by Crushing of the hand.
Jeong Hyang is playing the gayageum. Shin Yun Bok is drawing Jeong Hyang on the scene.
An excellent gayageum player, the other person is a genre Artist. Here in the scene, both of them are battling with each other on their Arts.
The scene where they kindle from head to toe all over their spirits & soul of their Arts. This had left a deep impression on me.
After Shin Yun Bok completed the painting, everything will end.
The scene where she just lies flat on her back in satisfaction & at the corner of her eyes, a tear flows down.
I really felt moved & touched.
At the moment only 5-6 episodes being broadcasted, as the drama is developing,
I wish to see the drama continue with the current flow.
The Casting Director, the script writer, everybody is not letting go of anything even to the slightest detail.
The production is very successful. I do think that this is an excellent piece of work that surpasses all praises.
“Painter of the Wind” is what the audience wish it to be so? The Production wants the drama to be enjoyable & entertaining
There are 14 episodes more to go. I hope no one will be hurt or injured. Everybody safe & sound. I sincerely hope that I can complete this drama.
I also hope that the audiences will keep watching this excellent drama. I do hope “Painter in the Wind” will still have a long journey to progress.
As it is now, I earnestly hope it is enough to capture the audience’s heart
