You musn't go that side.
That is the way outside.
Stop talking, you are noisy.
I said you musn't go that side.
Didn't I tell you that this is the folding screen that I would sell to Kim Hong Do?
Hey. I said go away.
- Sir Dan Won. - It's nice to see you.
Dan, Dan Won.
It's really a pleasure to meet you.
- We've not met for a long time. - Dan Won Kim Hong Do?
What are you doing? I told you to bring the folding screen.
Ah, yes yes.
You almost tore the folding screen. See you again.
Why isn't he coming back from the toilet?
He would be here when he finishes his business.
Sir Dan Won's coming.
The original work/Lee Jung Myung
Scenario/Lee Eun Yeong
Producer/Jang Tae Yoo Jin Hyuk
How old are you?
I'm 35 this year.
Oh, you are older than me.
Oh, don't do this.
Just make yourself comfortable, sir Dan Won.
Alright, alright. That's what I was saying.
Aren't you going to come in?
I'm going in now.
Leave it there.
You've come a long way, sir Dan Won.
Who are you?
My name is Jang Hyo Won and I am in charge of the students.
Aren't you guys going to greet the teacher?
Good-afternoon!
Jung Jo/22nd King of Josun Finally sir Dan Won's class starts today.
Queen Jung Soon/King Young Jo's 2nd wife
I am very curious about
the methods Dan Won will use.
Aren't you?
The scenery changes over time
and I'm worried whether he could
solve this problem or not.
You are going to copy this folding screen today.
Sir.
We've already done the copying lesson.
You did?
Well, I don't think
Dan Won will use the old ways.
Have you drawn this too?
- Huh? - Huh?
Draw this.
But I'm not sure whether that will be the solution
to find the artist.
Don't you think so?
He must find the right solution.
Everyone has the shape of an object in there head.
Most people think first and draw
when they draw something,
but doesn't it look different when you
put it upside down like this?
Even if the landscape changes,
the fundamental nature of a human being doesn't change.
Dan Won is still the
best checker.
Check.
If we put it upside down,
you are not just moving your thoughts on the paper
but you are seeing the object
in a new way.
You are improving day by day.
It's possible because you always take conciliatory attitude.
Is it?
Out of check, and check.
It's always hard competing against you.
The final results come at the end.
Doesn't it?
The most important thing
an artist should have is the ability to
see things in a new way.
Episode 2 Jang Pa Hyung
What is Dan Won doing?
- Er. - What did he tell the students to do?
He told them to copy an artwork.
Jang Byuk Soo/The head of the administration
He asked them to copy?
Yes.
He's asking them to copy.
Yes, and the picture was upside down.
Upside down?
Yes.
Upside down.
I told him to investigate and he is offering an upside down picture.
What was we drawing?
It's not in the book.
Tell me what you are thinking.
What is it that they are drawing?
You!
Ah, yes.
Ah, drawing is
moving things you see
onto the paper.
How vague.
Yes, drawing is
drawing is.
Next! You.
We use brushes
to draw.
Everyone draws with brushes and not spoon.
Yes, drawing is
recording everyhing which
fades away within time.
It means, the King sees everyhing
that exists, and to the artist,
it means distinguishing the authority
of the royal family overtime
and space.
What is your name?
As I have told you once,
my name is Hyo Won and
I am the head of the students
and I attend the head of the administration
as my father.
You.
Yes, sir Dan Won.
You speak too much.
Your mouth has become an artist before you have become one.
And next.
Isn't there anyone else?
Are you telling me that people who want to become artists
have never thought about what drawing is?
Why are you sitting here for?
You dauber!
Shin Han Pyung/The member of the administration
Shin Han Pyung/Shin Yoon Bok's father.
- Hey, In Moon. - Yes.
Do you know what
Dan Won is teaching?
I'm not sure.
Lee In Moon/Artist of the administration
Lee In Moon/Kim Hong Do's friend.
He just told us to watch what he's doing.
Watch what he's doing.
Hey, the one painting alone.
Hey, betwixt.
You answer my question.
What is drawing?
Drawing?
He's in trouble.
Ah
maybe drawing means
showing what yearning is.
Do you think so?
How come?
Yes.
Yearning becomes art
and sometimes
art bears
yearning.
Continue.
He's good.
If you have someone you yearn,
you keep thinking of him and you draw him in your head
and so yearning becomes art
The one you yearn becomes art.
So?
And
if you look at the art of the one you yearn,
you continue to miss him
even if you have forgotten him for a while.
Doesn't this mean
art becomes yearning?
You yearn
when you see the artwork.
Yes, so
so
doesn't drawing means
yearning?
Yearning.
Drawing means
yearning.
What is your name?
Yes.
My name is Shin Yoon Bok.
This is your homework and the deadline is tomorrow.
- Homework? - Homework?
You must draw four connected lines without
removing the brush and you should pass all these nine dots. Do you get it?
- Huh? - Huh?
Today's lesson is over.
Sir.
Sir Baek Baek.
Hu Shim/The senior of color administration.
What brought you
to this dirty color mixing room?
I want to ask you a question.
Sit down.
What is it that you want to see
when you put the folding screen upside down?
The folding screen upside down?
Yes.
Drawing it upside down.
It's useless if they didn't draw the picture straight.
Straight picture?
Straight picture.
The copying of the folding screen has been done
so there must be straight pictures.
I knew you would know the answer.
It is to
see this.
Eyes?
To see the ability to draw with eyes
and not with head.
Do you mean you can find out the characteristic of an artist with that method?
Yes.
Who gave out this kind of homework?
Dan Won.
Dan Won?
Dan Won.
Is he the won you hate?
The art administration is making me excited.
That old man.
He makes me feel bad all the time.
So is the
investigation going well?
We are keeping our eyes on the students.
Do you think that's enough?
The Queen Mother gave
- strict orders. - What?
A strict order?
The Queen Mother thinks we are unconcerned
about the investigation since Dan Won is here.
By seeing the Queen Mother's nature,
she won't let the artist escape.
You must know that when the Jang Pa Hyung
punishment is going to be held, someone is going to lose his wrist right?
Yes, I know.
We are trying hard to close the seniors mouth
so that the students won't get scared and keep things in secret.
They think that Dan Won is just carrying out lessons
so the student who drew the picture
will be found soon.
I'm not sure if we have enough time.
Incase we can't find out
who it was,
no one knows what the Queen Mother
is going to do.
And that means.
What does that
mean?
If you don't oversee Dan Won properly,
your's and my wrist can
go through the Jang Pa Hyung punishment.
- Do you get it? - Did the
Queen Mother really say this to you?
That she will sentence the Jang Pa Hyung punishment?
What? What is he talking about?
He said they are going to sentence Jang Pa Hyung.
Jang Pa Hyung/Destroying the hand with a hammer Who? Sentence whom with Jang Pa Hyung?
I'm not sure but they said something about Dan Won
and they said Jang Pa Hyung.
Dan Won?
Sir Dan Won? Maybe.
We've got trouble here.
Hey, we've got trouble.
- There's trouble, trouble. - What is it?
- Tell us. - Say it.
Sir Dan Won.
- Is he crazy? - Why?
You know that mysterious homework?
- If we can't solve that. - Ah, what?
We might be sentenced with Jang Pa Hyung.
- Jang Pa Hyung. - Jang Pa Hyung.
Hey, hey is it true?
Is it?
You must draw four connected lines without
removing the brush and you should pass all these nine dots. Do you get it?
- Oh my. - I don't know.
- Is there an answer to this?
You sold out all?
Ah, yes.
I've gathered all the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
and sold them to the market.
So recently,
most people borrow the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Saechek/It means 'lending out books'
Alright.
Kim Jo Nyun/The representative of the market Then get one more copier
Kim Jo Nyun/The representative of the market and make more.
I will inform this to my store, so get the papers from there.
Ah, yes.
Let's go.
Sir, I would like to show you this.
What is it?
It's a vulgar picture drawn lately by an artist
and it's only his fifth piece
but a lot of people like it, so we are selling it.
Really?
The spring is everywhere
the flowers are here and there.
The spring is full in the garden
and the flower is blooming red.
But in the picture,
there's only green leaves
and no red flower.
Isn't it on this
guys face?
He must have expressed his
drunken face as a red flower.
What a witty guy!
You think so? The young artist must
have quite a skill.
His lines are smooth too.
The mountain man?
The mountain man.
Where did this guy come from?
I'm not sure but he said
he will come here with a bird picture.
He did?
The mountain man.
Satisfy him with the payment.
Ah, yes.
Welcome sir.
The mountain man.
Are you sure that these were drawn by the same person?
Don't you think it's too different?
It's because he drew it upside down.
When they draw it upside down,
the picture becomes awkward like this
because they draw what's in their head.
It sounds plausible
but who will draw something upside down?
Really?
Will you see this?
Onlywith your eyes.
How's it?
Is it same or different.
Hey.
Do you mean this one was drawn upside down too?
You still don't believe in others.
This guy drew what was on his eyes
and not in his head.
You can't learn this.
It's possible only when you are born
with the eyes of the tiger.
Who drew this?
It's too early to tell you.
Why do I have to study at this age?
What can we do? We should all gather together
in order to save our wrists.
I've been a student for 10 years
but I've never seen this kind of situation.
Cuckoo, cuckoo.
Cuckoo!
He's here.
Pull, pull, pull.
Thank you.
I feel so secure because of you.
- Cuckoo. - Try harder
and pass this year's artist exam.
I will try harder and harder.
Shall I go over there? I've never seen you for a long time.
Ah, tell her to come over.
No, no. No, no.
Don't ever come over.
It is more romantic to yearn you without seeing you.
Cuckoo.
You really have deep thoughts.
Than I will leave.
Oh and I've prepared some flower-shaped cake
so you must eat it.
- You must! - Okay.
I will, and don't forget
to take care of your health.
- Cuckoo. - Cuckoo.
Let's go, I'm dying because of the smell.
My wife have made all these all night thinking of me.
She's the best, she is.
Let's do it now.
- Here? - More to the right.
On the empty space?
You fool.
Didn't he tell us to solve it between those dots?
Must we?
- Of course we must. - He doesn't have brains.
Why must we.
From the left bottom.
- Here? - Yes.
- Than to this side. - No, no above there.
- Yes, yes. - Go above and
if we turn this side.
You musn't go there. We've done it before!
We've done it before.
Ah, than what is it.
I was looking forward to go the amusement center.
Is there a chance that we might not be able to go there tomorrow?
I think it will be better for us to delay
merrymakings in the future.
You idiot.
How can we call ourselves artists when we don't know what music is?
Don't you think we can call it an art
only when we make the alcohol into ink
and make the girls' body into our paper?
Yes, yes, yes. It's cool, it's cool.
Let's go alright? Alright?
Don't be absent for tomorrow.
I've called the best Korean harp entertainer
Jung Hyang in order to show you
what merrymaking is.
Geumki/The entertainer who plays Korean harp Geum Ki, The entertainer who plays Korean harp.
Jung Hyang
- who came from Song Do. - Jung Hyang.
Cheers for the head of the students.
Hey, let's solve it first.
This is the answer.
Are you still going to tell me that there's no answer?
You told me that you gathered to solve this
and you have failed to do so?
What have you done together?
How can you call yourselves the King's artist
Uhjinhwasa/Drawing King's portrait who will draw the King's portrait,
Uhjinhwasa/Drawing King's portrait and how can you bear the national affairs?
Uhjinhwasa/Drawing King's portrait
The future of the art administration is dismal.
Aren't you going to lift them up properly?
But, but didn't your lines
free itself from the frame of the square?
There were nine dots
and no frame from the first place.
You failed to achieve the answer because
you struggled inside the frame yourself.
There's a way when you free yourself from the frame.
Sir.
Isn't it connectable with only three lines?
Three lines.
I don't think that could be an answer.
There will be an answer.
But no one have found it yet.
Then do you mean
you know the answer?
Yoon Bok.
Draw it.
What's he up to.
Sir!
Isn't this the answer?
To speak strictly, this line doesn't pass three dots.
This passes by the top, the middle
and the bottom only but it doesn't
penetrate these three dots.
Right?
When we look at this picture,
you may be right.
You may be right.
What does that mean?
Think about the inclination of the line.
The biggerthe angle becomes,
the inclination of the brush becomes steeper.
And on the opposite,
the smaller the angle becomes,
the inclination of the brush becomes slower.
- And now what. - I don't get a word he is saying.
So.
So if this angle
becomes infinitely small,
the inclination of the bottom line will diasppear.
-What the hell is he doing. - I don't know.
Eh, see. Like this.
Infinitely, endlessly.
Endlessly like this.
And this line goes back to this side endlessly.
Like this.
Continuously, continuously,
continuously, continuously,
and at a certain point,
the angle between that line will become infinitely small.
And so, the line between here
will become longer and disappear,
and the three dots in the middle
can be penetrated.
Is the teacher and Yoon Bok competing?
Do you think Yoon Bok can do that?
This is a
sophistry.
Shit? Huh?
Why do you think so?
A solution must be clear.
We call it a clear answer onlywhen
we can show it clearly to others.
Can you show your method
clearly to all the people here?
Yes.
I can.
Then do it.
But!
Allow me to glue as many papers I want next to this paper.
Glue as many papers as you want?
Yes.
And fill many inkstones with ink.
Fill many inkstones with ink.
If you would provide them,
I will draw a straight line.
Then your theory can't be shown
if you don't have those plenty of
paper and ink.
And doesn't that mean that I can show it to them
if I am provided with those
plenty of paper and ink?
What is going on?
Who's winning?
Keep quiet.
Listen properly.
I think it would be betterto
bearthis in mind until
we can solve this someday.
This is the
end of today's class.
- Thank you sir. - Thank you.
Hey Dan Won.
Did you find out the culprit?
Isn't this the.
It's a very smart idea.
Was it him?
The one who's pictures were same?
Oh my god.
We will lose a talented artist soon.
Who's this student?
Aren't you going to tell me to?
Don't be saddened by this, because it's not the time yet.
I think I need to see him.
To do what?
Can you go to sleep if you cut someone's wrist
without meeting him and find out that he's not the one?
You should think.
You are handsome! Huh? Good, good.
Why aren't they coming?
I don't know. Shall I call them?
Hey, faster, faster.
You look great today. Great, great.
Let's go.
Let's carry them on our backs and play.
Love, love.
Shh.
Be quiet.
Love, love, love, my love.
Stop there.
Where are you going in this outfit?
I'm not going to the drinking house.
What? Then are you some shaman?
No, no, it's the birthday of the students' head
and so we are all going to the amusement center.
- Amusement center? - No.
We are going there to make women into our paper
and alcohol as our ink and enjoy music.
Make what as what?
If you are caught once more, you will be in trouble.
I'm sorry. I really told them I won't go.
- I'm really sorry. - Who's at the dormitory now?
At the dormitory?
Young Bok and Yoon Bok.
- Alright, then go. - Huh?
Oh, okay.
I've heard about today's class.
Yoon Bok solved the difficult question alone right?
Shin Young Bok/Shin Yoon Bok's brother Yes, in a way that the teacher couldn't think of.
Isn't he really brilliant?
Shin Han Pyung/The member of the administration Ah, yes yes.
He is the only figure among ciphers.
But the angular stone
gets hobnailed.
Do you know what I mean?
So you must take care of him.
Yes father, do not worry.
Alright.
What's Yoon Bok doing now?
He said he will go to sleep cos he's tired.
Alright.
Good.
He's so fast.
Do you want to buy it?
No.
Oh you are here.
Barmaid.
Did you bring it?
I did.
The man is snatching the girl's wrist.
How's it?
If a woman gets her wrist snatched by a man,
the game is over, yes it is.
Ah, I like the topic.
But.
But, what's wrong?
It's still.
The rock is a bit.
It's something.
It's something, what?
It's uh.
It's not enough.
What do you mean not enough?
It's not enough.
Well, you have the chance since you are young.
Don't be disappointed and keep on trying.
Here.
Five dollars again?
I'm giving you a lot.
So leave now and don't forget to keep on trying.
See you next week!
Welcome.
Is there anything new?
Wait a moment.
Ah, alright. I'll come next week.
Is there's something really new.
There is a brand new thing.
Well, show it
to us.
Man JUN HONG Shin Yoon Bok
How can any man just
pass over this woman who's pulling out her hips
and smiling?
Ah, of course.
A vulgar picture is more honest
and exciting than
boring literary works.
I can feel humanity.
And here, here, this oddly shaped stone
emphasizes the private surrounding!
This artist is the genius of the market.
How much do you want? Twenty? Twenty two dollars?
Are you joking?
Don't ever dream of paying under 50 dollars.
Five dollars?
I should just take the complimentary
as the leftover amounts.
Where are you going!
Is there anything you want?
- Look at him. - Who are you
and why are you doing this to me? - Oh my, oh my.
The mountain man?
Please pretend you've not seen any of this. If my father finds out,
- I will be in serious trouble. - Then why did you do it?
- Did you need money? - No, no.
I didn't mean to sell it from the first time.
Then did you mean to sell it later?
No, there were good rumors
and the people said
they liked it.
You fool!
Are you out of your mind.
How could you sell your drawing
at just five dollars.
Er.
Drink.
Yes, yes.
Look at him.
Look at this picture.
This is awful. Awful.
Tell me how you drew this spring scenery
and how you drew this picture.
Er, that.
I don't know.
I just moved what I saw on the paper.
You are really talented.
Well done.
Why did you draw the back of the woman then?
Huh?
The woman holding the hat.
Ah? Ah, that's
Songnak/The hat monks wore. not just a hat.
You mean it's the hat that monks wear.
Yes.
Then why did you draw her back side?
There was something
different about
the woman's back.
Er,
I felt some heartbreak
from her back side.
So you started drawing.
Yes! I was holding the brush
and I didn't even know that I did.
Yes, you've met your fun inside you.
Yes, I was excited.
There was nothing except her in that moment.
Yes, you can't see other things.
Yes! That's it! I was like that!
You have forgotten yourself. You've achieved mastery.
You've experienced that.
Mastery?
You've reached there.
Mastery.
You've experienced it.
But what's wrong with you?
Tomorrow, Jang Pa Hyung
will be held at the art administration.
Jang Pa Hyung?
They will find out who drewthat picture, and sentence him with Jang Pa Hyung.
What do
you mean?
Why did you ever drawthat?
You won't be able to hold your brush again.
What do you mean?
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
Tomorrow they'll find him out
and crush his hand.
And you will never be able to do anything.
What do you mean crush the hand?
Was my picture that wrong?
What did I do? You said I achieved mastery.
It's just a picture. Just a picture.
It doesn't make sense.
No, no. It's just one picture.
Excuse me.
Yoon Bok!
Sit down.
No.
Yoon Bok!
Why are you blocking the way?
- Gye Wol, take your customer. - Oh my.
You look so handsome. Let's go in.
Everyone's waiting.
- Who do you mean? - Who?
Those young lads.
Try to make yourself feel better.
Jung Hyang is going to come in soon.
Well, well, well, well, well.
Congratulations!
Which side do you want it? Right?Left?
Left! I get it.
Oh my.
Then have fun.
Who's this? The yearning guy!
Isn't this the 'drawing is yearning' guy?
Did you come with empty hands?
The fact that I'm here is enough.
You are here?
Drink.
Let's see what you are.
A girlish guy like you won't know how to drink.
Why, you could cry.
Brother, brother.
There's no reason I can't drink this.
- Come here, let's mess around. - Yippee.
Come here, let's mess around.
Love, love, love, my love.
My love.
You are so pretty.
You must be Jung Hyang!
Jung Hyang/A merrymaker with Korean harp Yes, I am Jung Hyang.
You are so beautiful.
Never mind that,
come here and sit down.
I'm a player
Eungeunjja/A hore and not a hore.
Eungeunjja/A hore
You still have thorns.
Beautiful flowers have more thorns.
I've never seen a flower
calling itself beautiful.
Because that doesn't make
a beautiful flower fade.
What matters when no one
Iooks at the flower?
The flower stays where it should be,
and it's up to the people who pass by
to judge whether it's beautiful or not.
What, what the hell?
Do you
- guys know each other? - What are you doing!
Start playing now!
What are you doing!
If you are drunk, go to sleep!
Are you okay?
He's made a mistake
since he is fully drunk.
Why apologize for something that has taken place?
Since the string broke,
come here and have some drink.
Ah, my name is
Jang Hyo Won and I'm the head of the students.
The title of the song is
Dong Chun Yul Lo Hwang.
What are you doing? Aren't you going to clap?
Alright.
It was the best performance.
The brsuh stroke is really alive.
Look carefully.
You might never see this brush stroke again.
It is such a shame.
It's really a shame.
There must be a way.
But, maybe your wrist will be crushed.
We can survive if we decide properly
even if the tiger gets us.
- Oh my. - You surprised me.
- You were here. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing here?
I've brought some water cos you might be thirsty.
Ah alright alright, thanks.
I might have died of thirst if it wasn't for you.
- Jung Sook. - Yes?
Goodnight.
You too.
- Watch out the mosquitos. - Okay, okay, okay.
Jung sook looks very mature now.
She is a ripe fruit.
Cos she was waiting for someone.
Who? Me?
Don't be foolish.
Just go to sleep.
I can hear you've lived in Pyeongyang for a while.
- Go to sleep. - Goodnight.
How's it going?
Did Dan Won find him?
Everyhing will be found out tomorrow.
Jo Yeong Sueng/Queen Jung Soon's uncle So, does he seem like he has found out?
Dan Won will find him out
even if I stop him from doing it.
Dan Won was out of his mind
saying good things about the culprit.
- Dan Won has recognized him. - Oh no.
Kim Gwee Joo/Queen Jung Soon's brother If he can't find the culprit,
Kim Gwee Joo/Queen Jung Soon's brother Dan Won's wrist will be crushed.
You've missed out the good chance.
We could chase out Dan Won.
- Don't you think so? - We have missed the chance.
There's nothing good with Dan Won staying in Hanyang.
I don't know why the King called Dan Won.
There might a reason.
Why are you so anxious?
Aren't you anxious?
Dan Won has sharp eyes
and he will have sharp eyes in noticing talents.
And so what?
If he really values the talent,
Dan Won will try to save him.
Then there will be two circumstances.
His wrist will be crushed,
or he will have to leave Hanyang.
If he leaves Hanyang,
the incident that took place 10 years ago will be kept a secret.
And even if he stays in Hanyang, he won't be able to draw
and he could never be the same to the King.
Then, even if it's Dan Won,
he will be a tiger with sharp teeth.
This was just a thought of a peddler.
Ask him what he wants.
She's asking you what you want.
Can I hear some more music.
What is it?
Five dollars.
Five dollars?
Ask him whether my performance was worth five dollars.
- She's asking you. - This five dollars
is all I have.
Tell him I don't want to know more.
What are you doing.
Tomorrow,
my hand will be crushed.
I've earned this five dollars
with my last piece of artwork.
I want to spend the last night
with this.
With your performance.
