Who drew something to
turn overthe whole art administration?
Until when do we have to be here?
Shut up, be quiet.
Original work/Lee Jung Myung
See! What did I tell you.
Scenario/Lee Eun Yeong Didn't I say it was dangerous?
Producer/Jang Tae Yoo, Jin Hyuk Why didn't you try to stop me more eagerly?
Please be careful.
Don't worry.
I said be careful!
My arms are shaking from washing clothes for the whole day.
I won't wash again if you drop these.
Don't worry!
I'm not washing!
I'll massage your arms, sir.
How can this thing happen.
Who the hell
drew that kind of picture
and made the officials upset!
Even if the artist is in our department,
we can't stand this situation.
Don't you think so?
Of course.
I will do something about this.
I will
end this.
Oh!
So, all the artists in the art department
got chased out to do the chores?
Yes, there will be no one who will give his
picture to the King, and
Kim Hong Do was sent to the washing department
Washing department/All the materials and so
Washing department/All the materials
that needed washing was sent here even though the King likes him,
won't it be useless?
So, what's Kim Hong Do doing there?
What else would he do? He washes clothes!
He probably won't have the strenght to hold a brush.
Hey,
have you seen women
washing clothes this close?
It's nice to see.
But doesn't it look a bit boring?
What does?
If a guy was looking
down from the top there
won't there be some strain?
What are they doing here? At the wash place.
Go away, go away, go!
Sir.
Is there anything to be nervous about when the women don't know we are watching?
What?
It will be much better when they
notice that men are watching them.
What the hell are you talking about?
A man should stay right in the middle of the wash place.
A man who is so handsome that
all the women would fall for him.
What is a man doing at the wash place!
Hey,
will those women do nothing
when a man is standing there?
There will be throwing everyhing they could.
I'm talking about handsome guy
and not you.
Won't there be strain
when handsome man stands there?
Than there will be some fun.
Are you going crazy from all those washing?
Aren't you the one who's going crazy
after looking at them?
So do you want to draw tem?
Yes, I will right away.
- Right away? - Yes, right now.
It's not easy right?
No.
The tremendous strain is almost going to break off.
Do you feel the liveliness?
The tremendous liveliness
is almost going to jump out from the picture!
You must finish before evening. Okay?
Don't be late yourself.
When I imagined it, they were throwing what they could at me
The artist at the stream/Artist Shin Yoon Bok
but with just a
eye contact,
there's a strain going on inside the whole picture.
When I went up there the women went wild
but now
The wash place/Artist Kim Hong Do with just one's sight,
The wash place/Artist Kim Hong Do there's strain
and liveliness too.
Well, it's seems quite okay.
Your picture is also quite interesting.
Hey fella.
What are you doing?
If you've finished judging,
Gamdong/Judging the picture you should stamp a seal.
Gamdong/Judging the picture
I don't have one.
How come you don't have one when you've become an artist some time ago?
How can I have a seal when I don't even have a pen name?
How dare you act rashly when you don't even have a pen name...
Make one for me.
Stamping a seal means
carving your name on your picture
and that means you will be responsible for your picture and your name.
You don't even know a thing.
So you make one for me.
Hey, what about little boy?
What's that? That's not nice for a pen name.
Then what about rat size?
Rat size?
What's wrong with it?
Little boy...I like that, little boy little boy little boy.
Episode 8 Drawing the King's portrait
Is that true that the artists have been chased out
to do chores?
Yes, your highness.
King Jung Jo/The 22nd King of Josun It's really something.
Do they think that there will be no daylight when they try to block the sun with their hands?
Hong Gook Yeong/The right hand man of the King
So what are you planning to do now?
I have to accept the challenge.
Your majesty.
From long time ago, when the King's throne was threatened,
Uhjin/The King's portrait
Uhjin was drawn to show the legitimacy.
I announce to you
that when autumn comes,
I will carry out
Uhjinhwasa/Drawing the King's portrait the Uhjinhwasa.
Uhjinhwasa/Drawing the King's portrait
Uhjinhwasa draws the King's authority and the honor.
Would you like to discuss with us
and pick a date.
The King and his followers are related with intimacy.
If you see me as your hearts,
I believe that you will understand me.
- But your majesty. - I don't want!
anymore talking about this subject.
Prepare yourselves
and understand my will.
Yes, your highness.
Hyo Won! Hyo Won!
Hyo Won!
Hey, hey, hey
It's not the time to do this, huh?
What's all this fuss about?
Uh.
Uh, what, what, what is it?
They are carrying out the Uhjinhwasa!
Uh, uhjinhwasa?
The King's portrait! They are drawing the King's portrait!
Really?
The competition for Uhjinhwasa will start
so go back to the administration
right away, and it's the King's order!
Then we don't need to carry this anymore?
- Throw it away. - You see, you see
didn't I tell you that there's always a solution?
Let's go.
Sir, did you think about my pen name?
Not yet.
What about dooran?
Dooran?
What does that mean?
It means beans.
Don't make jokes!
- What about beanny the boy? - It's the King's order.
All the artists from the art department should go back to their department!
Sir!
We are going back to the administration.
Did you think we will end up washing clothes?
Sir Dan Won.
Did you want to carry on the Uhjinhwasa?
Dan Won.
As you must know,
Uhjinhwasa is not just a portrait.
It moves one's body and spirit
and after my portrait has been drawn,
that's when I can let everyone know
the legitimacy of a King.
I know that very well, your majesty.
I have a hope.
But, there are too many enemies
for me to let my hope happen.
Protect me from all the others
by drawing my portrait.
Sir, where have you been?
- Everyone went back to the department. - I know that.
- You've packed my bag. - Ah, yes.
Now, we have to go back
and draw.
Draw?
Draw what?
The hardest but the most honorable picture
that an artist can draw.
The hardest but the most honorable picture?
I'm talking about the picture that needs the most detail and power.
The Uhjin?
The King commanded me to drawthe Uhjinhwasa.
You are drawing the King's portrait?
Yes.
After 10 days, there will be a competition for the Uhjinhwasa.
Until then,
all the chosen artists
should pick a partner
and get readyforthe competition.
The chosen artists will be chosen by
the King, the recommendation of officials
and
the head of the ceremony
and the recommendation from the people at the art department.
Those artists chosen
should pick a partner
and participate.
Hyo Won, Hyo Won! What is it? Is there really going to be Uhjinhwasa? When?
After 1 0 days.
Ten, ten days?
Are you participating?
How can I participate when I've just become an artist?
Why? Everyone knows that the King
is very fond of sir Dan Won
and aren't you also going to be chosen?
Do you think an amature artist deserves that?
You stupid fool!
This is your chance.
If you succeed,
it's the family's honor and your glory too.
Of course! You should beg sir Dan Won.
Hyo Won, what are you going to wish for
Grant of rewards/Rewards are given at the grant of rewards?
after discussing the importance of achievements I will wish to become
Then you must be going to the Gyoojang store!
I will wish for a house if I were you.
If I were you...a woman?
What's wrong with you when you have a wife?
Someone who has what you desire, can be more greedy.
Yoon Bok, what will wish for?
I'm not sure.
I did it!
It was me! I drew that picture!
The culprit would be chased out
to the color department.
Then can you bring someone back
who has been chased away
to the color department?
- What, what? - Are you thinking of?
Hey, hey, hey!
Where are you going?
I think he's going to be in trouble. It doesn't feel good.
Teach me.
I want to participate in the competition for Uhjinhwasa with you.
What?
Teach me how to draw portrait, sir.
You really have the nerve.
I really want to learn.
What is the reason of you begging me?
I heard that you will be rewarded if you finish the Uhjinhwasa.
So?
I want to bring back my brother
who has been chased away to the color department because of me.
Have you ever drawn a portrait before?
I've copied one when I was
a student.
Copy?
Isn't this different from copying a picture?
There are people who can draw the portrait in less than half a day
and some cannot finish it even when he is given 10 years.
Not everyone can do this.
I will learn. I will, sir.
So please teach me.
It won't be difficult if you have
the eyes to look into the essential.
But if you can't look at the soul,
you can't call it a potrait.
Can you do it?
or can't you?
I will do it.
Please let me learn, sir.
Why is the King carrying out the Uhjinhwasa suddenly?
Isn't he planning to strengthen his position
since he is the son of a criminal?
I'm not sure if that will be possible
with just a portrait.
Queen Jung Soon/King Yeong Jo's stepmother
Drawing the Uhjin means
putting the spirit into the picture.
When the Uhjin is alive,
it can revive back the dead.
So,
10 years ago
what is the reason
of the King calling in the artists secretly?
The King has told the artists
specifically about the prince's face
and made them draw his face.
What? They drew the prince's face?
Yes, he judged the prince's portrait
and so the portrait
Yejin/The portrait of a prince
is going to be finished soon.
Yejin/The portrait of a prince What?
I have to go to my house. Pack my things, right now.
Yes, my queen.
The King is trying to save the kid
by drawing the prince's portrait.
What does this mean?
Isn't he trying to leave a definite evidence that can
free him from his sins
when the prince becomes the King
since he himself can't?
When the young prince
knows about this later
he will kill all the people
who have made his father die.
We have to find those artists and kill them.
Destroythe picture
and the artists who drew it.
Be sure not to let things slip away.
Tonight.
So I've found someone who would do it for us.
Who is it?
Come on.
I am Kim Jo Nyun.
If you succeed,
I will pay you a good sum of money.
I will make it succeed.
My queen.
He has killed everyone who knew about this.
He did?
Yes, my queen.
I thought handled properly...
I said let me go. Can you understand this?
What are you doing?
I will make my teacher's and my friend's
false charge clear to everyone.
Kim Hong Do.
He might know something.
It's strange that the King called him right away after he was accessed to the throne
and it's also uncomfortable that he is always looking for Kim Hong Do.
If the King is trying to borrow his brush
and find a way to revive the picture that disappeared 10 years ago.
My queen.
That tragedy won't every happen.
Do not worry.
We have to stop this.
We have to stop Kim Hong Do
from drawing the King's portrait.
Then we could find someone better
and win this competition.
But, will there be anyone
who can win Kim Hong Do?
Find him.
We must find him.
Maybe Kim Jo Nyun might know...
Who is that?
The one who handled things 10 years ago.
He is said to have keen eyes.
I don't care about seeing blood
but can we trust a merchant's eyes
and put him in charge of this?
No, my queen.
Don't you realize the seriousness of this situation!
Contact him right away.
I will travel in disguise myself.
Yes, my queen.
There's no time.
Is there any movement?
There are no particular movements now.
Dan Won.
If it's him...
he will know the meaning of the Uhjin.
Please wait, father.
As you know, it's difficult to find
someone who can win Kim Hong Do.
But, look at this.
Suh Jik Soo's portrait Artist Dan Won Kim Hong Do, Lee Myung Ki
The face is the most important thing
in drawing the portrait.
This picture was drawn by Kim Hong Do
and another artist.
Then, do you mean
Kim Hong Do didn't draw the face?
If he did, I wouldn't have
been in this place.
In this picture,
Kim Hong Do drewthis part.
Then are you saying that
there's someone better than Kim Hong Do?
Yes, sure there is.
Someone who's better.
Who is that?
He is Lee Myung Ki who has
Ieft Josun and is drawing
at China now.
Can you bring him here?
He is already
on the way to the city.
Hwa san Lee Myung Ki.
What are you looking for?
Shouldn't I look at someone's face since I have to draw one?
I heard that you drew the King's portrait when you were young.
Yes, yes, I did.
How was it?
Can't you really say a word while drawing...
- Oh my...are you alright? - Yes.
Woo...were you surprised?
- It's alright, alright. - Don't you think you should be
careful riding a horse when there are so many people here?
Wait, my black horse.
Who do you think you are talking to!
This horse is a royal blood from the palace of China.
Who's this? Aren't you Dan Won?
Hwa san/Lee Myung Ki
How come you still don't have
some personality when time has passed a lot?
What are you doing here at Hanyang?
Oh, oh.
Who's that? Your slave?
You said Josun doesn't fit you
and why are you here?
What can I do when there's no one to draw the King's face?
Do you know him?
Yes, I do.
You should apologize first to my black horse.
Will you think about howyou shocked my black horse?
- Right my baby? - Huh?
You should get off the horse, if you want to speak.
Where did you learn your manners?
You haven't changed a bit.
I don't see you as a human being.
I can only see a poor artist
and a rude slave.
Hey!
Do you know who you are talking to?
He is the famous sir Dan Won!
The best artist of Josun, Dan Won!
That's something. Your slave has the eyes of a rotten fish.
The best artist of Josun?
It is so shallow. Right baby?
What is it?
I have to go since I'm busy. I'll accept your apology next time.
What the hell is he, sir.
He has the best temper ever.
How do you know him?
He is Hwa san Lee Myung Ki.
It means he is participating at the competition.
That asshole. I'm starting to have headache.
What? Black horse?
He must be fond of horses than humans.
He's talking rubbish.
Let's go, black bean.
So, how was life in China?
Was there anything new?
Who are the people
participating at the competition?
I think they are the people
you needn't worry at all.
The senior artist Choi Suk
He is an experienced artist who can draw 100 lines exactly the same.
But he draws pictures which are so typical.
And Lee In Moon
He is an expertise in landscape
but he has a quiet nature and so he will be
Jungchi/Very detailed quite useful in drawing portraits.
Lee Hee Dal
He just got in by paying
so you don't have to worry
Shin Han Pyung
He was one of the senior artist since the last King
and he carried out three Uhjinhwasa
but he became lazy after knowing money.
He still thinks his lines are detailed.
Ah, this guy is not in the competition
This is Shin Yoon Bok who is Dan Won's partnet for the competition.
He is the son of Shin Han Pyeong
but he is not interested in typical pictures
and he only draws obscene ones
so he won't be able to use neat lines.
And
my son
his lines are very straight
from the training of the department.
And lastly,
Dan Won.
I can't see his limit.
He is able to draw every picture
and it seems a different person has drawn it every single time
and the King is very fond of him
so he might be quite hard to win.
How's it? Do you think you can win?
Win?
That's funny.
But still, Dan Won won't be easy to win.
Dan Won.
It's really funny to see people
almost worshipping Dan WON.
Obscene pictures fit him perfectly.
I don't know how he could be famous.
That's totally impossible in China.
Anyway, do your best.
You should get the 'pass'.
And you need to have my son as your partner.
Alright?
You would thank me soon.
So the mistress couldn't restrain herself from love
and she only thought about his face while she read
while she sew,
while she ate, oh!
All the time it was about him oh!
The daughter of the high official
couldn't forget the guy
in the strolling group who
she saw just once
so she poked herthighs all night
but she couldn't help but send him a letter through her slave.
So...
- The guy had to... - What are you doing
The mistress's heart was in a chaos
she hated herself for writing one minute and the other minute, she missed him badly.
Herfeelings kept changing the whole day
and on a human being's face,
there's something called the samjung
Samjung/The three spots that becomes
The three spots that becomes and the Oaak.
the characteristic of a person
The eyebrows from the eyebrows Samjung
to the tip of the nose
to the end of the chin Oaak.
Oaak/The five hilles that becomes the characteristic
Forehaed, Nose, End of the chin Left cheekbone, Right cheeckbone
Samjung
Oaak
We should see the face first when we want to draw one right?
So we must see how one's Samjung and Oaak
is different from others.
The difference of Samjung and Oaak?
Here, look.
If you see a lot
and find a lot
you will be able to draw automatically
the difference of Samjung and Oaak.
She went to the willow tree
as they promised shaking her hips.
But!
What happened?
- Continue. - What happened?
This is the end of today's story.
The next episode will start tomorrow and the ladies can pay 2 dollars only.
Then, I should leave.
Hey! Where are you going!
Did you see a lot?
I'm not sure, sir.
It's odd to understand at once.
Let's go.
Already?
I think you need another method.
I will show you what a real portrait is.
A real portrait?
Let's go and see how they draw
a person's face.
This is the storeroom of the department.
It's the heart of the administration.
Is it your first time here?
Yes.
Let's go in.
- Hold this. - Okay.
What do you think is the most
- important thing from a person's face? - Huh?
The Joongjung.
Joongjung/From the eyebrows to the tip of the nose Then
Joongjung/From the eyebrows to the tip of the nose what
do you think tells the person...
What are you doing?
Ey, eye, eyes. Isn't it the eyes? The eyes.
Hah, you sound like an idiot.
And, what else?
Bookaak
Booaak/The bottom part of the Oaak, chin
I mean...the chin.
Then tell me what represents this person
after looking at this.
Now, look.
Tell me.
What tells the characteristic of this man?
You can't say a word.
This is the power of a portrait.
It's not just copying someone into the picture
but it's reviving the person.
Now you look like an idiot.
It's scaring me, sir.
Now, look properly.
Drawing a portrait is a scary thing
that has to put one's soul into the picture.
Now.
Look properly.
Now.
How can you see the King's face
if you can't look at this guy?
Now!
The self-portrait of Yoon Doo Suh
Each texture
of the hair
Iooks life firework.
Everything seems so alive, sir.
This is the mastery of putting in the spirit of a portrait.
Samjung and Oaak will
follow you automatically
after you learn the spirit.
Do not forget this face.
Yes.
How's it going?
It's so difficult, sir.
Let me...
Now look at me.
What?
Can you separate the samjung and the Oaak in my face?
Yes.
Samjung.
Oaak.
What happen?
Now, are they still the same?
No, it's different.
Then what about this?
- It's also different. - Yes.
- Draw. - What?
Draw it here
and learn to find
the dead samjung and oaak in this book
from a person alive.
How do I do that?
You really give me a headache.
Upper, middle, bottom!
Like this?
Namaak, Bookaak, Dongaak.
Suhaak, Joongaak.
Upper, middle, bottom
Upper, middle, bottom.
Now, let's start.
Yes, sir.
- Grandfather. - Yes.
Does Uhjin really becomes different
by what colors you use?
Yes.
If the colors wrong,
the Uhjin becomes a saecho
Saecho/Wiping it out and it can disappear.
The liveliness of the portrait
depends on
what colors you use.
- I said you can't come in here. - Sir Baek Baek
What are you doing here, how dare you come in!
Please teach me colors.
I want to make the best color.
It's not for an amature like you.
- Get out. - Sir Baek Baek
- What's wrong with you? Go out. - Please teach me.
I will do everyhing.
I said get out!
What are you doing! Chase him right now!
- Go out! Go out! - Sir Baek Baek
- Ah! Ah! It's hot! - Oh, my...
Yeong Bok! Yeong Bok!
No! Don't touch it!
It melts down the skin
Yeong Bok! Yeong Bok!
- Hold him, don't move. - Yeong Bok!
Hold him tight, I said don't move.
Yeong Bok, hold on for a while.
Yeong Bok!
Hold on, it will hurt.
- Yeong Bok! - Hold on tight.
Who told you to help me?
Sir Baek Baek Please teach me.
Please.
What you have to handle will be
all dangerous things.
- Still do you want to learn? - Yes.
Yes, I can.
Please, please.
- Sir. - How can you say that after this?
No, don't do it.
Grandfather, no. Never.
- Yoon Bok! - Brother!
It's been a long time right?
I heard you are participating at the Uhjinhwasa competition.
I still have more to go.
Brother, come here for a while.
Alright.
How do I have to find the samjung and Oaak?
It's so difficult.
Won't sir Dan Won
fail because of me?
Don't worry too much.
- Why? - You can do well.
How can I when I have just become an artist?
How can an amature like me compete with
people who drew portraits for years?
No, you can really
do it well.
Wait, I'll draw again.
It's the face I know most.
This.
Yoon Bok.
I will make the color you really want
Wait brother.
If the Uhjinhwasa is over,
I will make sure that you can come back to the art department.
It's nice to see you, it is.
So, was there anything you needed while you were in China?
Everyhing satisfied me there.
The horse you sent me was a fine one.
I called you because
there's something important to ask you.
Do you think
you can really win Dan Won?
Isn't Dan Won
the best artist in Josun?
The best artist?
Empty vessels make the greatest sound.
I'm so dumbfounded.
But...
Dan Won was always better than other's expected him.
Will you really be fine?
Are you that worried?
Actually, Dan Won has a weak spot.
A weak spot?
Do you know why he draws obscene
pictures that has lively strokes?
Why is that?
He is.
Really? Is that true?
It's the first competition
after the King has been accessed to the throne.
The competition will last for a day
and only one group out of four will pass.
I wish you all good luck.
What's wrong with you?
Shall I guess what you are thinking?
He is from China.
How can we win people who've drawn for years and years.
How can I win the people who've drawn the portraits for 10 years.
What will I do if I make a mistake.
This is what you think right? Right?
Yes.
In a bloody war,
there's only one thing an artist should conquer.
What is it?
A paper.
- A paper? - Yes, an empty paper.
An artist should conquer it.
Conquer it by filling the empty paper
with the tip of the brush.
Forget all other things besides that.
Yes, sir.
