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.
Original work/Lee Jung Myung
What's wrong with you?
Scenario/Lee Eun Yeong Shall I guess what you are thinking?
Producer/Jang Tae Yoo, Jin Hyuk
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.
Won't it be hard forYoon Bok and Hyo Won who has just become artists
to carry on the Uhjinhwasa? - They are
in the competition because their fathers
have power at the administration, don't you think?
Now, start betting! Eum!
Then we should bet
on sir Dan Won and sir Lee Myung Ki
and not Yoon Bok and Hyo Won.
Here, I'll bet 3 dollars to sir Dan Won.
I'll bet 4 dollars to sir Lee Myung Ki since he is from China.
Sir Lee Myung Ki 4 dollars, 4 dollars.
- I'll bet 5 on sir Dan Won. - Me too, 4 dollars.
- 4 dollars, 4 dollars - 2dollars for sir Lee Myung Ki
Now, gather around!
The Uhjinhwasa competition
will be held inside the palace today.
So, start betting, don't hesitate.
First, the best artist, and the artist that the
King likes the most! Senior artist Choi Suk!
Senior artist?
Second
Lee In Moon who draws the nature
perfectly!
The gentleman of all artists Lee In Moon! He draws like a wizard!
But, there are two artists who are the most remarkable.
Kim Jo Nyun/The head of the market They are Kim Hong Do and Lee Myung Ki.
Lee Myung Ki has very detailed lines that doesn't fail to draw even the last bit.
Kim Hong Do who has mastered everyhing.
These two people are at the competition
so this contest cannot
predict who will carry out
the Uhjinhwasa.
- It's a narrow victory. - Yes!
So I've doubled the betting money.
Isn't thousand dollars too much to spend since it's a seed money?
- lsn't he cool? - Huh?
- lsn't he? - He is.
Enjoy the best competition
with this woman.
She is beautiful!
She's one of the best!
Before her music ends,
please write names on the tag given to you.
Won't it be more eager
only if you have something you can earn?
The red tag stands for Hwa San Lee Myung Ki
and the blue tag for Dan Won Kim Hong Do.
Then, let the music begin.
Who do I have to choose.
Isn't the weather nice?
Yes, it's the perfect weather to draw.
- Yes. - Yes, sir.
The alcoholic artist and his slave is here too.
Ah, where's your black baby?
The black horse you attend on, oh!
The black baby can't hold brushes!
Then my slave is betterthan your baby.
- Aren't I right, black bean? - You are right, sir.
Hwa San Lee Myung Ki It's luck for you since
Hwa San Lee Myung Ki you wouldn't have been able to draw
if my black horse knew how to draw, right?
How could such a rude man have the skills.
I think God can be unfair sometimes.
We should focus today.
Episode 9 Drawing the King's portrait
Pay attention everyone!
From now on,
we will start the Uhjinhwasa competition!
The topic was chosen by the King himself.
Yongpa/The old word for montage It is to express the montage as a picture.
It means, 'making someone with words'.
Then, I will inform you about the topic.
Yongpa?
It was used to find sinner.
His height is five feet.
The color of his face is the color of jujube.
Underneath his mustache,
you can see his vague human nature,
and his eyes can
reach everywhere.
His face is quite narrow
and his eyebrows look like as if a gull is sitting down.
When he sits, he is dashing
his pink clothes is as smooth as the flowing stream,
and his hands that hold the tinea is neat.
He sits on a flower pattern mat so he looks dignified.
His behavior is well-mannered.
He has moderation in his words.
Draw this man. The deadline is 9 o'clock today.
Start now!
How can we draw someone we haven't seen? Sir Hwa San!
We will begin the competition!
All the representatives should step out!
It is to decide the spots where you'll be
- What do we do, sir. - drawing.
It will work somehow.
- I'll go and pick first. - Get a good spot.
- Move! Move! Move... - What happened, what's the question?
- They, they, they, they - So, tell us.
They are drawing someone they haven't seen.
What? Someone they haven't seen?
Does that make sense?
How can they draw that, when they haven't seen it?
Wait, wait, wait, wait... It makes sense.
Look at his eyes.
- His eyes are small as a flatfish. - Flatfish eye!
- Flatfish eye, flatfish eye. - Hey!
Isn't it different from the other topics
that were given on other Uhjinhwasa?
Drawing someone just by hearing his looks means
What is it?
is the way they use
when they
Choosa/Drawing the King's portrait not being able draw the Choosa right?
to draw the King's portrait while
he is alive and drawing the King's portrait lis the King really trying to.
revive the dead King.
Whatever you do you can't win me.
Lee Myung Ki will win this competition.
Stagnant water rots.
Dan Won never let others predict
the result of the competition.
Fourth.
The question is poor.
Why?
Are you dumb since you always
drew the same thing over and over again?
Aren't I better than someone who
draws something unplanned after being drunk?
Do you still do that?
You don't know that the unplanned mistake
is the help from God?
Well, you live
in yourworld only.
There's the universe even inside a hulled millet?
The universe is out there.
Do you think the universe will be inside the rich men's house you work for?
You guys haven't changed. Why do you quarrel everyime you see each other?
Do you still think being called a
Iearned man is a praisal?
You are good in words.
Next!
There will no one else smaller than
the slave you've
brought with.
His art skills must be small too right?
Will you cut that crap about slave.
He can't be compared with you.
He has experienced the mastery
when he was a student.
Don't you know? Becoming one with the object.
Becoming one with the object?
He must be an alcoholic too.
You call the lines you use after drinking the external objects?
How come you won't ever change.
You haven't changed more than me.
I pity the dead lL Wol
for treating you
as his friend.
Don't talk about him.
Seeing that you draw peacefully
even after he died,
aren't you the mean one?
I thought you would
die after him.
I said don't talk about him!
Why?
Did you forget that you treated me as an animal
just because I drew a portrait
on the day our teacher died?
Did you?
Why do you act as if you are the good guy? Huh?
I said stop!
Let go of my hand!
What are you doing?
Lee Myung Ki! Step forward.
Don't ever talk about our teacher and lL Wol.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I think I've broke your glasses.
Oh, it's totally broken.
What can I do?
It would be hard for you to draw
neatly like you used to
Jungchi/Neat and proper since you don't have your glasses.
Jungchi/Neat and proper
What can we do?
Lee Myung Ki! Step forward!
Are you alright, sir?
I am.
Begin!
There's not much difference in human's body.
And the topic for this competition is 'Yongpa'.
You can just describe the normal body
but seeing the description, he must be a man of high class.
Then his mustache will be neat
his face will be long and elegant.
What's wrong sir?
- Yoon Bok. - Yes.
You should draw the face.
Aren't you supposed to do that?
My glasses...
broke.
You've drawn well even if you didn't have glasses.
The thick lines do not
need glasses,
but detailed lines
need glasses.
But,
I can't.
It's okay.
Sir.
I'll help you with the thick lines
so describe the face.
It's alright.
You've practiced a lot!
Close your eyes.
Now.
Now, erase all traces in your head now.
Think of a new topic.
When he sits, he is dashing his pink clothes is as smooth as the flowing stream
and his hands that hold the tinea is neat.
Did you see it?
Yes, draw it.
Sir.
- What's wrong? - Please look.
What's the problem?
This disturbs me. I'm not sure if I should do this.
What disturbs you?
They said 'his eyes reach everywhere'.
So, what do you think?
Are you confident?
Yes.
Then draw.
Yes.
It's one.
Stop!
The time's up for the competition!
Inscrutable are the king's favors.
Is there something on the ground?
Straighten your shoulder!
Did you drop your brush?
Yes.
Are you that worried?
I can't stop thinking about the eyes.
The eyes that can reach everywhere?
How did you think about that?
I was just.
Just what?
It reminded me of you
when I heard that description.
This?
- Yes. - Then it will be fine.
It will be all my fault, if you fail.
It's alright, you've done your part.
Let's go.
So, the question was about drawing the montage?
I've never seen such a poor question.
They should see the ability to carry out the Uhjinhwasa
and they were giving out some quizz.
Josun has a far way to go to follow China.
You must be confident?
It's your habit, when you are confident.
All the people will know
the winner is going to be me. So you don't have to worry.
You still don't know me?
I don't participate in competitions I will fail.
What can I do.
I should have prepared a party for you.
Without the drinks, there's no fun.
Is he that confident?
Yes, he is almost going to have a party.
Clouds always follow the sunshine.
Continue to be careful.
How could they be so sure
infront of you.
Don't worry.
I really want to see the King's face
when the results are out.
I always warned him that
straight sticks always break.
You are right.
So, we are about to end the competition tomorrow
after judging the pictures with 4 artist representatives
and 4 partner artists.
Is Lee Myung Ki the one they've called from China?
Yes, he must have come
because of the competition.
It must be a hard challenge.
Don't let unsavory things happen
till the competition ends.
Yes, your highness.
You can
use the brush for a longer time when you dry it well after washing it everyday.
You have the talent
that someone like me
can't dream of.
Brother.
You can't come back to the art administration
- once you go to the color department. - So please,
please become the
best artist
for me.
Brother.
Wait for a while.
- Yoon Bok. - Yes, father.
Weren't you sleeping?
Sit down.
Why are you sleeping after all that hard work?
You can't sleep because of the results coming out tomorrow?
Yes, a bit.
I think I might not sleep well tonight too.
Don't expect too much, I'm not that confident, father.
Didn't I tell you not to talk negatively?
I trust in you no matter what.
You will win this competition
and the Uhjinhwasa will be your job!
Yes, it will!
Unfold the picture!
The judgement starts now.
The lines are very neat!
Look at that neat mustache.
It's as if they are alive.
The portrait is all about conveying one's soul by drawing him
Junshinsajo/Conveying one's soul by drawing him
and how can they draw this well without seeing!
You really deserve your name.
Seeing that you've made the picture this well
just by using the brush, I think it will be perfect when you color it!
Hey.
Artist Kim Hong Do.
What is this?
Why does your picture
only have a squint?
By looking at his clothes, he looks like a noble man
and are you trying to
make a joke out of the offcials?
No way.
Then what is it?
It is,
a description of the words that were spoken at the description.
What expressed it like that?
The sentence
that said
'His eyes can reach everywhere'
His eyes can reach everywhere.
It's really a thought for some stupid slave.
This is disdaining the Uhjinhwasa.
Drawing a portrait means
bringing out the inner side of someone
and putting it into a picture.
Drawing a squint
means that they
disdained the characters nature.
Don't you think so?
Are you trying to
make fun of the art administration?
Is the Uhjinhwasa's topic, the King's idea?
Yes, sir.
The King always liked
going to different paths unlike the others.
Even if it was a rocky path,
he went that side, if he thought it was right.
- And he haven't changed still. - Eum.
Now, let's go and get the results.
Yes.
How could they deserve
to participate in this competition?
This must not be tolerated.
The eyes of the portrait is the core of the soul it represents
and it is very vulgar.
The topic was Yongpa
and not some other landscape.
Isn't Yongpa drawing someone's face
by listening to the description?
Sir.
We drew it based
on the basics.
Basic?
Are you telling me that you were devoted to the basics?
Will you ever stop?
All of you pay attention!
The real man of the description will enter now.
The results of the competition
will be done by me
by comparing whether it looks similar with me or not.
Sir.
What do we have to do?
Let's wait.
All of you be courteous!
All of you raise your heads!
Byun Am/The teacher of King Jung Jo.
Sir!
We did it.
Yes, we did it.
We did it!
Well done, bean boy.
It really looks like me.
All of you listen.
These two artists
have the eyes of the soul that no one has.
Artist Kim Hong Do Artist Shin Yoon Bok
even if it was a rocky path,
will be carrying out the Uhjinhwasa
since they've passed
the competition!
Yes, we will obey.
The competition is ineffective!
Artist Shin Yoon Bok was
Partner artist/The assistant of the main artist just a partner
Partner artist/The assistant of the main artist
and aren't the main artist
Main artist/The artist in charge who carries out supposed to draw the face?
Main artist/The artist in charge who carries out
Main artist/the most important part of the Uhjinhwasa What happened?
This artist has a neat line
and I have a rough line
so we thought it would be right to change our positions.
Is that a big problem?
Is that true?
We've done what we do best.
Isn't it all about drawing well?
But how could you let
an amature artist hole the brush.
How dare you!
Did the main artist
have some problem?
What problem?
Don't you have one?
The main reason you can't draw a portrait.
Your eyes doesn't fit
for drawing neat lines.
Drawing,
and even observing.
Don't you?
What does that mean?
Artist Kim Hong Do
has a reason that
he can't carry on a neat Uhjinhwasa.
What is that?
Artist Kim Hong Do
cannot focus his eyes
if he doesn't have his glasses.
How can this happen.
Does this make sense.
The competition is over.
I pity your talent.
You should have won me
after knowing my weak points and breaking my glasses.
Why?
- Are you trying to advice me? - If you would like to be adviced.
I won you this time too.
And you won't be able to win me ever again.
How bossy you are
when you won from your assistant's help!
Are you going?
The dead teacher! And l!
Iiked your picture.
I sometimes badly miss the time
I spent with you.
I badly miss
seeing your grand attitude.
I miss the times
we drew together, even if we fought.
Crazy asshole.
Hey, a coward dies many times before he really dies
but a brave one tastes death just once.
You should end this here.
This isn't you.
Let's go and have a drink.
That bastard.
He never knows how to stop bossing.
Who won the competition?
Dan Won Kim Hong Do and Hye Won Shin Yoon Bok.
What?
It isn't Hwa San Lee Myung Ki?
Yes.
Till the last.
See that.
No one in Josun can win sir Dan Won.
I said he didn't pass because of his skills.
Who knew those kind of questions would be on?
As you will know sooner, luck if also one's ability.
Yes, you are right.
- What are you doing. - I bet 5 dollars.
- I am going to give you, here - 5 dollars.
So I told you to bet on Dan Won, Dan Won!
Even if time has passedby, it's still Dan Won, isn't it?
Hwa San Lee Myung Ki.
Dan Won Kim Hong Do.
So who won?
Who did you bet on?
I bet on Hwa San since you told me to.
As for the skills, it is Lee Myung Ki.
But because of the King,
the competition was about montage.
Huh?
So the winner is
Dan Won Kim Hong Do.
He won.
What happened?
You recommended Lee Myung Ki!
This is a lie! It's a total lie!
Give me back my money!
That is why people call you a vulgar merchant.
Didn't you decide for yourselves?
Hey!
Betting is always uncertain.
It doesn't mean you will win just because you have the tag.
I just provided you with the chance to win.
Are you saying that makes sense!
Why are you so barbarous?
Do you want your money back?
Then go back and sell things
with the confidence you had while you made your bet.
You can earn more than what you've lost.
I won't forget today.
Sir Dan Won and he won!
Is that true?
Yes!
Oh my god.
What happened when you said you can win him!
I'm sorry.
If you can extend this line endlessly,
the angle will become smaller
and it will pass the three spots.
If you can make the angle become smaller,
I think it can pass the middle line.
If you extend it endlessly, the angle of the line will decrease,
and finallythe middle line will penetrate the three spots.
Dan Won.
The King is being stubborn.
He gave out that subject
to make Kim Hong Do carry out the Uhjinhwasa.
But what can we do?
Isn't the competition already over?
If we can find a little
mistake of the King,
we must hang on that
and stop Kim Hong Do from carrying out the Uhjinhwasa.
Keep your eyes on them.
Yes, my Queen.
We shouldn't have given the job to that vulgar merchant.
How could we.
I will deal with him, my queen.
I can't forgive just like this.
You should get yourself ready.
I will go through anything.
I don't want to meet you now
so go back and wait!
Whatever happens, you must not let this happen.
I will find another way, sir.
You are going back to China?
Don't I have a reason to stay here?
Anyway I've lost, so I'll give your money back.
That alcoholic Kim Hong Do and that slave-like boy
was chosen for the Uhjinhwasa
so it's the worst artists ever.
It's really unbelievable.
To stop those worst artists,
there are people who want you to stay more.
Who are they?
They are people who can stop the Uhjinhwasa.
I will give as much as you want.
We will find a way
and fail Dan Won at the coloring step.
And if they pick a new artist,
won't you be the only one?
Are you telling me that I should wait for Dan Won to make a mistake?
You don't have any manners to an artist!
I'm done!
Wait!
That's why you'll never win Dan Won.
Dan Won was always something you couldn't beat.
Aren't you embarassed of your tongue that bossed around?
You are going out of the limit!
Are you trying to say that you want to be treated like an artist
when you've come from China for a few dollars?
That's what I deserved.
You should be embarrased of youself for not being able to show your ability!
How can you be proud of youself? Huh?
That bad taste of a merchant.
A merchant?
At least I act like a merchant.
Were you an artist?
Can you say that you are an artist?
How could you come to compete with Dan Won with that shallow thought.
Take that back.
Are you trying to teach me now?
How can you run away from what you've destroyed.
Get lost before I break your neck!
It's really something to see!
I've got involved in a dirty fight.
I should have never treated him as a human!
Let's go, my black horse.
This one, sir.
How's it?
Wait for a while.
Why are you being so picky?
They are not all the same, sir.
Wear this one.
It looks similar.
I think a transparent glass fits you more
since you have deep eyes.
Do you think so?
You have some taste.
Darling, this fits you more.
You have some taste.
Never mind, let's buy this.
Why not pick more, sir?
No, never mind. How much is this?
I will pay sir.
You don't have that much money.
Did you sell your pictures again?
No, no. I've saved some.
How much is it?
Give me a discount.
- Come on. - Thank you.
- Let's go, sir. - Does this really cost 10 dollars.
Let's just go.
- How's it? - Things look so clear.
- Does it feel different? - Wow! It does.
- How? - It's.
Anyway,
I can see a bean standing infront of me.
Huh, sir?
I will keep this glasses
till the day I die.
You must.
Don't break it since I bought it for you.
Alright.
-Why are you putting it in? - This?
It will wear away.
Congratulations, Dan Won.
What's wrong with you?
I thought you'd never accept the result.
As you know, we've not competed on the skills.
It's surprising that you can
draw the King's portrait with that much skill
in Josun.
Are you going back?
What should I do here? I should go.
Too bad.
Yes, how can I explain those feelings?
But I still have to go.
I don't know if I can ever see you again.
Goodbye.
Take care.
There are people at the palace
that are watching you.
Are you worrying about me?
I'm telling you this since l
Iearned from the same teacher with you.
Don't forget that there are people
who are looking out for you and his mistakes.
Let's go, my black horse.
Are you alright sir?
