(This drama is fictional and
people or stories are not tied to reality.)

3
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:20,199
Is this the line?

4
00:00:22,769 --> 00:00:24,239
- You may go inside.
- Thanks.

5
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:28,040
I'm Hong Cheon Gi of
Baekyu Painters Society.

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,110
Hong Cheon Gi of Baekyu Painters Society.

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,879
Look who this is.

8
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:33,850
It's Painter Hong.

9
00:00:34,949 --> 00:00:35,990
Darn it.

10
00:00:36,049 --> 00:00:38,960
We need to square everything first.

11
00:00:42,089 --> 00:00:45,429
How can you assault a
lady in the middle of the day?

12
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:46,929
Where are your senses?

13
00:00:46,930 --> 00:00:49,699
- What's he doing?
- That's impossible.

14
00:00:50,169 --> 00:00:53,070
Be quiet, all of you!
What do you know anyway?

15
00:00:54,469 --> 00:00:56,809
Hey, you.

16
00:00:57,070 --> 00:00:58,339
Are you really a painter?

17
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:01,040
Show me your contest ID slip.

18
00:01:01,279 --> 00:01:02,350
Yes, sure.

19
00:01:09,650 --> 00:01:12,160
I think I left it.

20
00:01:12,859 --> 00:01:14,619
But I'm with Baekyu Painters Society.

21
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:16,459
I really am a painter. Please let me in.

22
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:19,798
Goodness, how can a woman be a painter?

23
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:21,770
You'll even make dogs laugh.

24
00:01:21,829 --> 00:01:24,599
You can't go inside unless
you have a contest ID slip.

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,539
Next person. Finish up quickly.

26
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:28,039
- Wait, but...
- Hurry.

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,269
Let's go quietly while
we're nice. Don't put up a fight.

28
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:33,539
No, wait. Hey!

29
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:35,079
What do you think you're doing?

30
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:40,380
Let her go immediately.

31
00:01:41,889 --> 00:01:43,019
The litter?

32
00:01:44,049 --> 00:01:45,160
Scholar.

33
00:01:46,859 --> 00:01:49,260
I see that you two are together.

34
00:01:49,889 --> 00:01:51,698
Watch your mouth! He's...

35
00:01:51,699 --> 00:01:52,730
Man Soo.

36
00:01:53,829 --> 00:01:54,868
Yes.

37
00:01:54,869 --> 00:01:56,269
She's coming with me.

38
00:01:56,669 --> 00:01:58,739
Says who? Come here.

39
00:02:10,609 --> 00:02:11,649
You!

40
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:21,459
Darn it, you!

41
00:02:47,149 --> 00:02:48,220
Are you all right?

42
00:02:48,649 --> 00:02:49,649
Yes.

43
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:54,790
Scholar Ha, you're here.

44
00:02:54,889 --> 00:02:57,388
- How dare you make a scene here?
- Quiet!

45
00:02:57,389 --> 00:02:59,729
This is Prince Yangmyeong's Maejukheon.

46
00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:01,970
Get out of here! Go!

47
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,522
Cheon Gi, I'll get you!

48
00:03:03,534 --> 00:03:04,699
Get out of here!

49
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:10,209
Please come inside.

50
00:03:10,340 --> 00:03:12,540
This woman is also
participating in the contest.

51
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,209
I'm going in with her.

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,549
Yes, I understand.

53
00:03:18,179 --> 00:03:20,350
See? I told you so.

54
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:24,720
Now, please hurry.

55
00:03:24,790 --> 00:03:26,319
Take out your ID slip in advance.

56
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,458
- All right.
- Line up, please.

57
00:03:27,459 --> 00:03:30,859
(Episode 5:
Maejukheon Painting Contest, Part 1)

58
00:03:41,810 --> 00:03:43,570
This is so amazing.

59
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:46,809
It's crowded like the central marketplace.

60
00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:52,119
Anyway, what brings
you to the painting contest?

61
00:03:52,679 --> 00:03:54,679
I was invited by Prince Yangmyeong.

62
00:03:56,189 --> 00:03:57,419
Oh, you were invited.

63
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:05,399
Well, he may have invited you here,

64
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,830
but where is his courtesy?

65
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:09,770
No one is here to escort you.

66
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:14,640
Never mind, I'll be your escort.

67
00:04:15,369 --> 00:04:16,808
Then please help me out.

68
00:04:16,809 --> 00:04:19,140
Sure. Trust me and follow me.

69
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:20,980
This way.

70
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:26,150
Right ahead of you. Be careful.

71
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:36,160
Anyway, Sir Scholar. How are
you so good at using your body?

72
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:39,299
It was as if you could see.

73
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:41,900
No, even those who can
see couldn't do what you did.

74
00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:45,140
Are you a military officer?

75
00:04:45,470 --> 00:04:47,400
I've been training since when I was young.

76
00:04:49,239 --> 00:04:52,040
Let's just say I had a great teacher.

77
00:04:53,939 --> 00:04:56,179
Anyway, you were the best.

78
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,749
How could I ever repay you?

79
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:03,790
Don't mention it. It was
something I ought to do.

80
00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:10,259
But still. Those men are
the minions of Wolseongdang.

81
00:05:10,290 --> 00:05:13,999
I don't want you to get
in trouble because of me.

82
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:16,929
People say it's best to avoid fights.

83
00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:19,439
I'll avoid them as much
as I can, so don't worry.

84
00:05:21,239 --> 00:05:23,910
But you have to be very, very careful.

85
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:32,350
It looks like this is
where the guests are to sit.

86
00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:34,780
And on the other side,

87
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,619
I'll be drawing out in this yard.

88
00:05:39,259 --> 00:05:42,259
Is that so? I look forward to it.

89
00:05:43,390 --> 00:05:45,929
I've never been to
such a huge place before.

90
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,129
I've dreamt of this
moment for quite a long time.

91
00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:54,540
I'm sure you could win first place.

92
00:05:55,210 --> 00:05:57,869
Sorry? Goodness, no way.

93
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:02,749
However, I'll do my best.

94
00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:07,548
Then do paint in dashing
spirit and see great results.

95
00:06:07,549 --> 00:06:10,020
(Dashing spirit: Staying
strong as one advances forward)

96
00:06:10,290 --> 00:06:11,650
Come this way, please.

97
00:06:14,259 --> 00:06:15,359
Thank you.

98
00:06:16,290 --> 00:06:18,730
You have to keep your eyes on me.

99
00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:22,498
I apologize.

100
00:06:22,499 --> 00:06:24,799
It's all right. I'm used to it now.

101
00:06:24,999 --> 00:06:26,439
Then please excuse me.

102
00:06:28,299 --> 00:06:30,238
Where did she go? Where is she?

103
00:06:30,239 --> 00:06:32,378
- She's over there. Come on.
- Where? Oh.

104
00:06:32,379 --> 00:06:33,840
Cheon Gi. Hey.

105
00:06:34,509 --> 00:06:36,279
- Hey.
- My gosh!

106
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,619
Why do you walk so quickly?

107
00:06:38,980 --> 00:06:42,019
Goodness, you fool. When
did you come? We were worried.

108
00:06:42,020 --> 00:06:44,918
Hey! You two came into
Maejukheon by yourselves.

109
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:46,858
What? You were worried? Please.

110
00:06:46,859 --> 00:06:49,558
I met Jung Seon Rye on
the way and almost died.

111
00:06:49,559 --> 00:06:50,590
- What?
- What?

112
00:06:50,890 --> 00:06:52,929
You met that guy?

113
00:06:53,129 --> 00:06:55,628
How did he get released so quickly?

114
00:06:55,629 --> 00:06:56,729
No idea.

115
00:06:56,730 --> 00:06:58,769
So? And?

116
00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:02,210
What do you mean? I
ran away as best I could.

117
00:07:02,410 --> 00:07:05,410
Anyway, we should stay
vigilant when we walk around at night.

118
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,008
Man, then everything
we did, we did in vain?

119
00:07:09,009 --> 00:07:10,678
My gosh, I can't believe it.

120
00:07:10,679 --> 00:07:12,350
He looks familiar.

121
00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:15,290
Hey, forget them.

122
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:17,449
Let's grab our seats.

123
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:19,688
Okay. We can talk about this later.

124
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:21,459
Let's grab our seats.

125
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:22,959
You haven't found seats for us?

126
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,257
We went looking for you!

127
00:07:24,269 --> 00:07:25,830
We had no time to get seats.

128
00:07:29,970 --> 00:07:32,700
(Master painter, Monk Manyoo)

129

(Touch of a deity, Kang Hee Yeon)

130

(Magical touch, Sim Dae Yu, also
known as Sim with a bamboo hat)

131
00:07:46,249 --> 00:07:47,480
There are some seats left.

132
00:07:49,419 --> 00:07:50,819
It's a great spot.

133
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,858
Now, look.

134
00:07:53,859 --> 00:07:57,429
I'll make sure I win first
place here at Maejukheon.

135
00:07:57,559 --> 00:07:59,959
You'll get into Gohwawon if
you make it to the third screening.

136
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,969
Don't be such a show-off.
Stay modest, and paint carefully.

137
00:08:02,970 --> 00:08:05,769
Hey, that's not good enough.

138
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:15,509
Are you ready?

139
00:08:15,779 --> 00:08:16,850
I'm all ready.

140
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,119
- Let's do this!
- Let's do this!

141
00:08:41,570 --> 00:08:43,340
Goodness, look who this is.

142
00:08:43,869 --> 00:08:45,738
It's Scholar Ha of Seomungwan.

143
00:08:45,739 --> 00:08:46,908
(Seomungwan: An office in charge
of astronomy, weather, and calendar)

144
00:08:46,909 --> 00:08:51,109
Your looks always remind
me of an entrancing painting.

145
00:08:52,149 --> 00:08:53,550
Have you been well?

146
00:08:53,749 --> 00:08:55,349
(Prince Joohyang, Lee Hoo,
the second son of King Seongjo)

147
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:58,050
I thought he's the type who
wouldn't care for paintings.

148
00:08:58,389 --> 00:09:02,259
His Majesty especially adored
him, so I wondered what he's like.

149
00:09:02,789 --> 00:09:05,560
He's very dignified and even beautiful.

150
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:09,570
He really doesn't seem human.

151
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:11,800
Is that so?

152
00:09:16,940 --> 00:09:18,879
Prince Joohyang is here.

153
00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:25,879
Forgive my belated
greetings, Your Highness.

154
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:28,789
I thought you'd be busy
carrying out duties at Seomungwan,

155
00:09:29,149 --> 00:09:30,590
so I never thought we
meet in a place like this.

156
00:09:30,789 --> 00:09:33,488
I looked at my fortune
today through hexagrams,

157
00:09:33,489 --> 00:09:35,489
and an unexpected 24th hexagram came out.

158
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,959
It must've meant I'll have the honour...

159
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,599
of sitting by your side as
I watch over the contest.

160
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,673
The 24th hexagram?

161
00:09:42,685 --> 00:09:44,529
Are you saying
it was destined?

162
00:09:45,369 --> 00:09:46,499
Yes.

163
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,369
It's nice to have a man
who's as upright as you say that.

164
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:53,009
My ears are delighted.

165
00:09:54,139 --> 00:09:55,779
Do enjoy the contest.

166
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:57,950
Yes, Your Highness.

167
00:10:05,050 --> 00:10:06,960
You're one mischievous man.

168
00:10:12,129 --> 00:10:13,359
If I had...

169
00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:16,529
just died at the cliff back then.

170
00:10:17,499 --> 00:10:18,600
Step back!

171
00:10:20,139 --> 00:10:21,200
Mother!

172
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:23,638
Mother...

173
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:27,109
(Investigator Kim Gong Rae,
Prince Joohyang's bodyguard)

174
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:34,619
All honoured guests and painters,

175
00:10:35,119 --> 00:10:38,289
Maejukheon Painting
Contest is about to begin.

176
00:10:38,649 --> 00:10:41,859
Please take your seats.

177
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:45,190
Hey.

178
00:11:00,940 --> 00:11:02,949
Draw stones to look as light as feather.

179
00:11:02,950 --> 00:11:04,550
Draw trees as if they're characters.

180
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:07,349
When you draw bamboos,

181
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:10,090
you should be well-versed in penmanship.

182
00:11:10,649 --> 00:11:12,560
If any of you are aware of this,

183
00:11:12,989 --> 00:11:15,589
you must know calligraphy
and painting are the same.

184
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:16,689
(The theory of calligraphy
and painting as a single entity)

185
00:11:16,690 --> 00:11:20,659
I hoped to find a talented painter as such,

186
00:11:21,359 --> 00:11:24,570
and opened up the doors
of Maejukheon in four years.

187
00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:34,009
It's nice to meet you all.

188
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:37,950
I'm Yangmyeong, the lord of Maejukheon.

189
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:53,560
Now, let me introduce the judges
who'll judge the paintings with me.

190
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:55,800
First off,

191
00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:58,939
Han Geon, an expert of Gohwawon.

192
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:00,239
(Gohwawon: An office
in charge of paintings)

193
00:12:01,070 --> 00:12:02,939
(Han Geon, Expert of Gohwawon)

194
00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:05,909
And his long-time colleague,
a historic painting society,

195
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:08,739
Choi Won Ho, the master
of Baekyu Painters Society,

196
00:12:10,909 --> 00:12:13,879
(Number 52)

197
00:12:13,950 --> 00:12:16,648
Yoo Si Saeng, the master
of Jungyu Painters Society.

198
00:12:16,649 --> 00:12:17,749
(Yoo Si Saeng, the master
of Jungyu Painters Society)

199
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,420
A dear friend of mine and my brother's,

200
00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:23,488
and the finest writer of
Dan Dynasty, Seo Ki Jung.

201
00:12:23,489 --> 00:12:24,529
(Seo Ki Jung, the erudite of Bomungwan)

202
00:12:26,659 --> 00:12:29,970
Lastly, a man of profound
knowledge in literature and martial arts,

203
00:12:30,029 --> 00:12:32,470
who always sets an
example as my older brother.

204
00:12:32,739 --> 00:12:34,440
Please welcome Prince Joohyang.

205
00:12:48,619 --> 00:12:52,489
This Maejukheon Painting
Contest will be held over two days.

206
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,720
The contest will have three screenings.

207
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,489
You'll draw two paintings
for two screenings today,

208
00:12:57,789 --> 00:12:59,229
and tomorrow will be the third screening.

209
00:12:59,230 --> 00:13:00,358
(Three different
screenings for the contest)

210
00:13:00,359 --> 00:13:01,399
First,

211
00:13:01,629 --> 00:13:04,269
an honoured guest of my
choice will announce the theme...

212
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:06,039
for each screening.

213
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:08,340
Second,

214
00:13:08,539 --> 00:13:12,779
the evaluation will be held without
publicizing your ranks or statuses.

215
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:14,639
That's it!

216
00:13:14,810 --> 00:13:16,379
We got this. We can do it.

217
00:13:20,619 --> 00:13:23,288
Third, after the evaluation,

218
00:13:23,289 --> 00:13:26,960
the judges will decide if you pass
or not with the red and blue sticks.

219
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,989
Red stick means you pass.

220
00:13:29,259 --> 00:13:30,590
Blue stick means you don't.

221
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:33,758
If the majority hold
up red sticks, you pass.

222
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:35,330
If not, you do not.

223
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,800
However,

224
00:13:38,170 --> 00:13:40,039
even if everyone does
not let your painting pass,

225
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:42,769
senior judges may
use their free pass stick...

226
00:13:43,139 --> 00:13:45,238
and let you pass the screening once.

227
00:13:45,239 --> 00:13:46,339
(Senior Judges: 5 judges
who old superior authorities)

228
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:47,508
(Free Pass Stick: Given only
to senior judges as a free pass)

229
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:48,580
Now,

230
00:13:48,739 --> 00:13:52,649
I look forward to seeing
paintings that'll become legendary.

231
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:54,749
I will also...

232
00:13:55,450 --> 00:13:57,050
take part in the evaluation as a judge.

233
00:14:04,859 --> 00:14:08,459
Painters, feel free to use
papers as much as you need,

234
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:09,999
provided by Maejukheon.

235
00:14:10,499 --> 00:14:13,100
If you stay seated, you will receive...

236
00:14:13,470 --> 00:14:14,869
your first piece.

237
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:15,966
Thank you.

238
00:14:15,978 --> 00:14:17,868
Also, if you do not finish...

239
00:14:17,869 --> 00:14:21,710
the painting within the time
limit, you will be eliminated.

240
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:25,819
The time limit changes for each round.

241
00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:26,825
The stamp is so pretty.

242
00:14:26,837 --> 00:14:28,180
And the theme will change too.

243
00:14:28,749 --> 00:14:29,988
This is wonderful.

244
00:14:29,989 --> 00:14:33,090
This is premium paper,
so it even smells different.

245
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,420
You two sound like hillbillies.

246
00:14:36,029 --> 00:14:38,159
You might end up kissing the paper.

247
00:14:48,670 --> 00:14:50,239
- Hey, Young Wook.
- Yes?

248
00:14:50,909 --> 00:14:53,379
Who's that creepy monk?

249
00:14:56,749 --> 00:14:59,149
Master painter of Jeolla
Province, Monk Manyoo?

250
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,619
Once he drew Vimalakirti
on the wall of the temple,

251
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,389
the painting shined
the entire temple brightly.

252
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:06,788
People swarmed in to look at that painting,

253
00:15:06,789 --> 00:15:08,720
and the temple brought
in over a million Jeon.

254
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,730
He shocked the world
with his masterpiece painting,

255
00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:12,999
so he's called the master painter.

256
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:19,600
Hey, then who's that man in a bamboo hat?

257
00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:24,009
That painter seems to be...

258
00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:26,810
Sim with a bamboo hat.

259
00:15:29,009 --> 00:15:30,679
The magical touch of Gyeongsang Province.

260
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Magical touch?

261
00:15:32,450 --> 00:15:33,480
Magical touch.

262
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:38,220
He must be capable of
doing magic tricks as he paints.

263
00:15:39,659 --> 00:15:43,429
Oh, so he could paint boldly
as if a horse rides through fogs.

264
00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:45,898
He can even ride on that
horse and compose his painting,

265
00:15:45,899 --> 00:15:47,100
the magical touch.

266
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:50,600
Goodness, you slow kids.

267
00:15:51,830 --> 00:15:54,039
Calm down. I have to keep calm.

268
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:56,239
What I mean is this.

269
00:15:56,769 --> 00:15:58,439
He always wears that bamboo hat,

270
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,509
so no one knows what he
looks like or how old he is.

271
00:16:00,909 --> 00:16:03,148
A goblin called Hwacha that
loves paintings came every night...

272
00:16:03,149 --> 00:16:05,820
to have paint-offs against him.

273
00:16:06,420 --> 00:16:09,320
Then he came to an
enlightenment for his magical touches.

274
00:16:09,649 --> 00:16:11,119
That's why he's called the magical touch.

275
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,119
Do you get it now?

276
00:16:19,899 --> 00:16:22,329
All great painters in the Dan Dynasty...

277
00:16:22,330 --> 00:16:23,830
have gathered here.

278
00:16:24,529 --> 00:16:26,638
Actually, there is someone else...

279
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:29,810
who receives the most
attention in this painting contest.

280
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,440
Who is it?

281
00:16:31,609 --> 00:16:32,809
Oh, me?

282
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,940
I know who that is too.

283
00:16:35,410 --> 00:16:38,809
The biggest potential winner of
this Maejukheon Painting Contest.

284
00:16:39,950 --> 00:16:41,279
Touch of a deity, Kang Hee Yeon.

285
00:16:42,079 --> 00:16:45,619
The best scholarly painter
who grew up as a gifted child.

286
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:48,119
He uses composed lines
for his ink-and-wash painting,

287
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,258
yet he brings out ardent blank spaces.

288
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:52,460
His paintings are all lively and realistic.

289
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,298
These judges are all scholars,

290
00:16:55,299 --> 00:16:56,528
so he has the highest chance...

291
00:16:56,529 --> 00:16:58,670
compared to painters like
us, who do this for a living.

292
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,400
Are you telling me...

293
00:17:00,999 --> 00:17:04,738
to accept the reality
that I won't be the winner...

294
00:17:04,739 --> 00:17:06,339
of this painting contest?

295
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,639
I mean, these men
are here to paint with us.

296
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,549
How can we dream of competing with them?

297
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,949
But still, let's dream big...

298
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:17,220
here at Maejukheon today, Frown.

299
00:17:18,349 --> 00:17:19,720
- And Nuisance?
- Goodness.

300
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,960
So are you going to try to win?

301
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,129
She has always been too
hopeful since when she was young.

302
00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:26,170
That's what I'm saying.

303
00:17:26,182 --> 00:17:27,360
Just grind the ink stick.

304
00:17:34,170 --> 00:17:36,639
Let me announce the
first painting type and theme.

305
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,609
(Painting type: Landscape,
animals, portrait, etcetera)

306
00:17:38,610 --> 00:17:41,008
(Painting theme: The
overall theme of the painting)

307
00:17:41,009 --> 00:17:42,778
The first screening's painting
type is plum tree and bamboo.

308
00:17:42,779 --> 00:17:44,209
(Plum tree and bamboo)

309
00:17:44,210 --> 00:17:45,279
The theme will be...

310
00:17:50,249 --> 00:17:54,089
decided by the expert
of Gohwawon, Han Geon.

311
00:18:01,860 --> 00:18:02,870
What?

312
00:18:03,769 --> 00:18:05,999
Hey, doesn't this mean
Jung has the upper hand?

313
00:18:06,299 --> 00:18:08,400
Yes, isn't he his teacher?

314
00:18:34,059 --> 00:18:36,269
"When I recite poetry
alone under the moonlight,"

315
00:18:36,970 --> 00:18:39,170
"the smell of the plum blossom
begins to seep into my clothes."

316
00:18:40,339 --> 00:18:41,999
"I'm afraid butterflies
will fly as a group..."

317
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,969
"thinking that spring has already come."

318
00:18:44,970 --> 00:18:46,439
("When I recite poetry
alone under the moonlight,")

319
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,839
("the smell of the plum blossom
begins to seep into my clothes.")

320
00:18:50,779 --> 00:18:54,119
Now, you get 1 sijin.

321
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:55,248
(One sijin: About 2 hours)

322
00:18:55,249 --> 00:18:56,349
Two hours?

323
00:18:57,789 --> 00:18:58,819
That's too tight.

324
00:18:59,019 --> 00:19:00,389
I don't have enough ink yet.

325
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:01,420
Start grinding the stick first.

326
00:19:01,989 --> 00:19:03,059
What do you think?

327
00:19:03,489 --> 00:19:05,389
I tried changing the
theme to match the eye level...

328
00:19:05,390 --> 00:19:06,759
with the copycat painter.

329
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,930
You're an outstanding
strategist, Your Highness.

330
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,058
His penmanship is incredible.

331
00:19:34,059 --> 00:19:36,390
His writing is as great as the masters.

332
00:19:37,489 --> 00:19:38,930
It's a wonder.

333
00:19:39,089 --> 00:19:40,299
It is.

334
00:19:44,099 --> 00:19:46,470
How can he write like that?

335
00:19:46,999 --> 00:19:49,640
- Goodness.
- That's amazing.

336
00:19:50,539 --> 00:19:53,079
His penmanship is solid yet dignified.

337
00:19:53,180 --> 00:19:56,109
Prince Yangmyeong's
writings are always a masterpiece.

338
00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:58,950
Even envoys from other
countries covet after his writings.

339
00:19:59,150 --> 00:20:02,278
We could consider his
calligraphy as a national treasure.

340
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:04,049
Are you concerned about him?

341
00:20:06,220 --> 00:20:07,989
Why would I be?

342
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:12,999
I'm just proud to have such
a talented younger brother.

343
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,360
It's just calligraphy.

344
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:19,640
Keep your focus solely on the
intentions of Prince Yangmyeong.

345
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,670
Hey, Jung.

346
00:20:58,910 --> 00:21:04,449
Hey. Could you interpret
the theme one more time?

347
00:21:04,450 --> 00:21:06,548
"Moonlight, poetry, alone,
plum blossom, seep, clothes."

348
00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:09,019
"Afraid, butterflies, fly,
spring, already come."

349
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:10,089
What?

350
00:21:10,450 --> 00:21:12,450
What the heck is he saying?

351
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,329
Young Wook, you try to read that.

352
00:21:18,489 --> 00:21:20,099
Okay, trust me.

353
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,400
Make it accurate.

354
00:21:21,829 --> 00:21:23,799
"Under the moon..."

355
00:21:27,339 --> 00:21:30,440
The poetry is what now?

356
00:21:31,339 --> 00:21:34,738
Hey, forget it. I heard that part too.

357
00:21:34,739 --> 00:21:35,880
Hey.

358
00:21:36,349 --> 00:21:38,950
I'll tell you just this once,
so make sure you listen well.

359
00:21:41,849 --> 00:21:44,589
They're reciting poetry
alone under the moonlight,

360
00:21:44,650 --> 00:21:47,789
but the smell of the plum blossom
is so strong, it got on their clothes.

361
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:51,789
Then butterflies fly in as a
group thinking it's already spring.

362
00:21:52,430 --> 00:21:53,900
That's what it means.

363
00:21:56,329 --> 00:21:58,269
All right, I get it.

364
00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:04,210
So...

365
00:22:04,970 --> 00:22:06,279
the moonlight.

366
00:22:07,980 --> 00:22:09,039
Plum blossoms.

367
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:13,150
Butterflies.

368
00:23:56,049 --> 00:23:57,289
What is it?

369
00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,620
That's an uncanny painting.

370
00:24:02,059 --> 00:24:03,930
I'm not even finished yet.

371
00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:06,499
This won't be good enough.

372
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:35,160
He has bold touches.

373
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:36,420
Already?

374
00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:41,559
Two hours have passed already.

375
00:25:44,489 --> 00:25:47,058
When you touch the paper
with a brush, you create a stroke.

376
00:25:47,059 --> 00:25:48,729
(A stroke brings out the actual shape)

377
00:25:48,730 --> 00:25:50,798
Then you're left with empty spaces.

378
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,598
(Empty spaces depict the
energy of the created shape)

379
00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:58,569
Will you let the stroke
win and bring out the shape?

380
00:25:59,370 --> 00:26:03,549
Or will you let it loose
and let the shape show?

381
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:17,660
Father.

382
00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:22,259
No one can add 10 thousand
touches with just a single stroke.

383
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:24,499
Once I gave up my greed,

384
00:26:25,170 --> 00:26:27,739
I could see flowers and the Moon.

385
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,768
Since this is the first screening,
I still see many ignoble paintings.

386
00:26:59,769 --> 00:27:02,899
If they call themselves a
painter, what's with that first stroke?

387
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:04,769
We should focus on
the dignity of the painting.

388
00:27:04,910 --> 00:27:07,079
Let's find out what the
painters' focuses were.

389
00:27:07,339 --> 00:27:09,849
The first painting type
was plum tree and bamboo.

390
00:27:09,980 --> 00:27:13,880
They'll be evaluated on their
take on nature and their attitude.

391
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:22,890
Swish.

392
00:27:23,789 --> 00:27:25,190
Swoosh.

393
00:27:29,769 --> 00:27:31,799
Once you close your eyes,

394
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:34,269
you hear sounds.

395
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:44,980
Even if she is that girl,

396
00:27:45,849 --> 00:27:49,319
our relationship was
already once disconnected.

397
00:27:52,849 --> 00:27:56,930
I won't let my petty
feelings ruin my great plan.

398
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,739
That's the time for your first painting.

399
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,940
Make sure you write your name.

400
00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:42,440
Come on, get up. Let's go.

401
00:28:45,509 --> 00:28:46,939
Did you all write your names?

402
00:28:46,940 --> 00:28:47,940
Yes.

403
00:28:52,349 --> 00:28:54,019
Prepare for the evaluation.

404
00:29:07,529 --> 00:29:10,430
I see a magnanimous and brave layout,

405
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:12,730
but it doesn't portray
the theme's intimacy.

406
00:29:13,739 --> 00:29:15,033
It's against the theme.

407
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:16,038
Six blue sticks!

408
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:17,940
There are 26 blue sticks...

409
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:19,879
and eight red sticks.

410
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,610
Fail!

411
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:28,119
This person used ink too dark...

412
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,720
to paint the moon.

413
00:29:29,950 --> 00:29:30,950
Fail.

414
00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:31,950
(Light and shade)

415
00:29:35,089 --> 00:29:38,329
The plum tree must be bold and strong.

416
00:29:39,130 --> 00:29:40,400
There's nothing more to see.

417
00:29:44,269 --> 00:29:45,400
- Hey.
- It's yours?

418
00:29:46,029 --> 00:29:48,640
It's not always good to fill the paper.

419
00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:52,409
The energy of the plum
tree isn't enough to relieve...

420
00:29:52,410 --> 00:29:53,778
the sorrow of a man reciting a poem.

421
00:29:53,779 --> 00:29:54,779
(Deep sorrow)

422
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,949
Fail!

423
00:29:56,950 --> 00:29:57,950
That was yours?

424
00:29:58,349 --> 00:30:00,919
Oh, dear. You did well anyway.

425
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,579
- Good luck.
- Thanks.

426
00:30:04,319 --> 00:30:05,349
Oh, dear.

427
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,859
The plum tree looks empty...

428
00:30:08,860 --> 00:30:11,089
as it lacks strokes here and there.

429
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,129
- It's a fail.
- Fail!

430
00:30:14,130 --> 00:30:17,569
The brush strokes are rough
and the ink shows no light or shade.

431
00:30:18,029 --> 00:30:19,939
- Fail.
- Fail!

432
00:30:19,940 --> 00:30:21,899
- Fail.
- Fail.

433
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:22,940
Fail.

434
00:30:25,309 --> 00:30:26,739
- Hey.
- Hey.

435
00:30:27,339 --> 00:30:28,380
It's Young Wook's.

436
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,778
My gosh.

437
00:30:30,779 --> 00:30:34,079
Plum flowers bloom
beautifully all over the branches.

438
00:30:34,650 --> 00:30:37,548
It's a good piece that portrays the plum...

439
00:30:37,549 --> 00:30:40,519
that blooms throughout hardships.

440
00:30:44,890 --> 00:30:47,859
There are 31 red sticks
and three blue sticks.

441
00:30:47,860 --> 00:30:49,598
Number 25, pass.

442
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:50,730
Pass!

443
00:30:51,170 --> 00:30:52,329
Hey.

444
00:30:55,470 --> 00:30:56,470
Well done.

445
00:30:58,610 --> 00:31:00,009
(Number 22)

446
00:31:01,180 --> 00:31:04,249
Branches stretching out
elegantly under the moonlight.

447
00:31:04,349 --> 00:31:07,620
I can almost smell a cool
fragrance coming from the flowers.

448
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,380
- Pass.
- Yes.

449
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,190
- Hey.
- You made it.

450
00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:13,390
You did it.

451
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,359
From the rough growth of the tree,

452
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,289
I sense the chastity of one's spirit.

453
00:31:18,690 --> 00:31:19,730
Pass.

454
00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:25,969
Number 32 did very well.

455
00:31:25,970 --> 00:31:26,970
It's yours.

456
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:30,538
This painting has a
different character and pose.

457
00:31:30,539 --> 00:31:31,539
(Character and pose)

458
00:31:31,540 --> 00:31:34,210
It's a refreshing composition and style.

459
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:36,210
Pass.

460
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,078
The Yeon merchants
would clamour to purchase...

461
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:40,880
a painting like this.

462
00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:42,849
There's nothing more to say.

463
00:31:43,289 --> 00:31:47,018
The flowers and moonlight
are drawn almost poetically.

464
00:31:47,019 --> 00:31:48,319
I like it very much.

465
00:31:49,059 --> 00:31:50,130
Pass.

466
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,659
The energy of the painting
takes flight in the breeze,

467
00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:57,829
scatters in the flowers
and stops at the moon.

468
00:31:58,230 --> 00:31:59,569
It's truly amazing.

469
00:32:00,099 --> 00:32:01,239
A great piece.

470
00:32:18,890 --> 00:32:22,019
But what is this?

471
00:32:30,299 --> 00:32:32,268
It's a good use of blank space,

472
00:32:32,269 --> 00:32:36,039
and the strokes and
contrast are truly exceptional.

473
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,379
Your glance is led to reach the round moon,

474
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:42,508
and on the plum
flowers, a gift of heaven...

475
00:32:42,509 --> 00:32:45,779
is sprinkled which
almost gives me the chills.

476
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:48,319
However,

477
00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:53,189
although the plum grows in the cold,

478
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:55,259
it never sells its fragrance.

479
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:59,360
I'd like the painter of this
work to think of what I said.

480
00:33:00,230 --> 00:33:01,230
Fail.

481
00:33:02,730 --> 00:33:04,529
Six blue sticks!

482
00:33:04,569 --> 00:33:06,329
Four blue sticks!

483
00:33:06,739 --> 00:33:10,439
There are 33 red sticks and one blue stick.

484
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,539
This work is a fail.

485
00:33:17,049 --> 00:33:18,110
(Fail)

486
00:33:21,779 --> 00:33:23,489
Wait, Your Highness!

487
00:33:39,429 --> 00:33:42,769
I wish to ask you something.

488
00:34:01,969 --> 00:34:03,040
Come forward.

489
00:34:05,679 --> 00:34:07,279
You crazy...

490
00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:11,520
- My gosh.
- Let's sit down.

491
00:34:12,849 --> 00:34:13,889
Oh, dear.

492
00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:16,049
What a mess.

493
00:34:27,069 --> 00:34:30,400
I'm Hong Cheon Gi from
Baekyu Painters Society.

494
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,068
You just said that...

495
00:34:33,069 --> 00:34:36,509
my work is good, but
you can't give it a pass.

496
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,810
I would like to know...

497
00:34:40,349 --> 00:34:41,750
why that is.

498
00:34:51,489 --> 00:34:54,389
All other painters accepted their results.

499
00:34:54,489 --> 00:34:58,429
Why did you come forward
to doubt the judges' opinion?

500
00:35:00,270 --> 00:35:02,130
I apologize sincerely...

501
00:35:02,270 --> 00:35:06,139
for disrupting the event
and posing a sudden question.

502
00:35:06,670 --> 00:35:09,109
But I'm not objecting to the opinions...

503
00:35:09,110 --> 00:35:10,739
of learned experts.

504
00:35:11,179 --> 00:35:14,278
As you said, I have already failed.

505
00:35:14,279 --> 00:35:15,310
So what?

506
00:35:19,949 --> 00:35:21,250
My hope...

507
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,389
and the reputation of my
society are already damaged.

508
00:35:25,060 --> 00:35:27,489
If I were to go home
not knowing the reason...

509
00:35:27,889 --> 00:35:31,500
why I failed, I might despair
and decide never to paint again.

510
00:35:32,299 --> 00:35:33,730
So I dare ask.

511
00:35:35,099 --> 00:35:36,170
What ability...

512
00:35:37,170 --> 00:35:39,739
do you think I lack?

513
00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:47,709
Your painting has a
structure that is unique...

514
00:35:47,710 --> 00:35:49,110
and unlike any other.

515
00:35:49,449 --> 00:35:52,679
That alone is enough
to seduce and bewilder.

516
00:35:53,049 --> 00:35:54,448
You have great skills.

517
00:35:54,449 --> 00:35:55,488
(To infatuate someone)

518
00:35:55,489 --> 00:35:57,960
However, the plum tree you drew...

519
00:35:58,259 --> 00:36:00,429
have flowers facing upward,

520
00:36:00,759 --> 00:36:02,290
so they look like apricot flowers.

521
00:36:02,590 --> 00:36:06,029
The butterflies all took
flight, despite it being night time.

522
00:36:06,699 --> 00:36:09,068
Doesn't that show the
shallowness of the painter...

523
00:36:09,069 --> 00:36:11,770
who only tries to win
the interest of a buyer?

524
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,368
That goes against fidelity
and loyalty the plum represents,

525
00:36:14,369 --> 00:36:17,080
and is the same as
selling the tree's fragrance.

526
00:36:17,739 --> 00:36:19,080
You can ask me ten times,

527
00:36:19,540 --> 00:36:21,750
but I would still fail your painting.

528
00:36:24,779 --> 00:36:27,919
So it was the butterfly
that was the problem.

529
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,219
What do you mean?

530
00:36:29,319 --> 00:36:31,159
Can't you tell?

531
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,089
The prince is being nit-picky.

532
00:36:34,090 --> 00:36:35,159
There's something about it.

533
00:36:35,330 --> 00:36:37,799
There's something
about that butterfly painting.

534
00:36:38,929 --> 00:36:41,568
It was the butterfly.

535
00:36:41,569 --> 00:36:43,599
What? What about the butterfly?

536
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:45,539
It looks just fine.

537
00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:47,539
It has wings and feelers.

538
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:48,610
It has...

539
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,480
A butterfly?

540
00:36:52,509 --> 00:36:55,009
- Gosh.
- You're so gutsy.

541
00:36:57,319 --> 00:36:58,979
This is my mark.

542
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:02,090
(A painter's mark left
behind instead of a seal.)

543
00:37:07,730 --> 00:37:11,460
That painter is the woman
I saw at the dye house.

544
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,069
The two of them...

545
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:17,340
must definitely know each other.

546
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:19,599
She knows Yul?

547
00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:26,779
Your Highness.

548
00:37:27,409 --> 00:37:31,278
If you say a detailed
painting that is almost lifelike...

549
00:37:31,279 --> 00:37:32,980
is flawed by its excessive detail...

550
00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:37,389
That is what I...

551
00:37:41,929 --> 00:37:43,799
What do you think?

552
00:37:44,259 --> 00:37:45,928
The strokes have pent-up energy,

553
00:37:45,929 --> 00:37:47,868
and the branches are
so stiff they might snap.

554
00:37:47,869 --> 00:37:50,900
This could mean the painter
was too absorbed in her emotions...

555
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:52,840
she failed to grasp the concept.

556
00:37:54,770 --> 00:37:57,109
I also think the plum flowers...

557
00:37:57,110 --> 00:37:58,678
are too simple,

558
00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:00,880
and they look outdated and ignorant.

559
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,980
Your further comments...

560
00:38:03,819 --> 00:38:06,049
only proved even more...

561
00:38:06,650 --> 00:38:08,489
why this painting is a fail.

562
00:38:11,090 --> 00:38:12,090
Your Highness.

563
00:38:12,389 --> 00:38:14,429
Are you failing my painting...

564
00:38:14,529 --> 00:38:17,860
because the flowers face upward
so they look like apricot flowers?

565
00:38:18,199 --> 00:38:20,999
You said you'd let
the painters draw freely,

566
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,729
so how could you say that?

567
00:38:22,730 --> 00:38:24,799
Are you talking back at me?

568
00:38:28,969 --> 00:38:30,170
I apologize.

569
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,580
Whatever you say,

570
00:38:32,540 --> 00:38:34,048
to me, this painting...

571
00:38:34,049 --> 00:38:37,118
looks like you tried to
show off using a unique layout,

572
00:38:37,119 --> 00:38:39,679
but then failed to grasp the basic concept.

573
00:38:43,790 --> 00:38:46,928
He figured out she's the forger.

574
00:38:46,929 --> 00:38:48,389
In my painting,

575
00:38:48,889 --> 00:38:51,400
the butterfly took
flight under the moon too.

576
00:38:51,699 --> 00:38:52,729
So why...

577
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:57,799
Now, now. Everything in the
world stems from issues of the heart.

578
00:38:58,369 --> 00:38:59,738
Do not blame others.

579
00:38:59,739 --> 00:39:01,908
Those who are meant to pass will pass,

580
00:39:01,909 --> 00:39:03,810
and those meant to fail will fail.

581
00:39:09,909 --> 00:39:10,949
I see.

582
00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:15,190
I finally get what it means to host

583
00:39:15,420 --> 00:39:16,849
a contest in Maejukheon.

584
00:39:17,290 --> 00:39:18,488
Then it's done.

585
00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:19,819
You said that...

586
00:39:20,929 --> 00:39:23,488
we compete as equals,
regardless of our rank or status.

587
00:39:23,489 --> 00:39:26,199
That this contest is only about skill.

588
00:39:26,759 --> 00:39:27,799
However...

589
00:39:28,929 --> 00:39:30,968
that's all just for show.

590
00:39:30,969 --> 00:39:34,639
Everything's about your taste and thoughts.

591
00:39:35,369 --> 00:39:36,770
I get that now.

592
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,909
What a brazen thing.

593
00:39:41,310 --> 00:39:45,020
We cannot let people like her paint at all.

594
00:39:45,580 --> 00:39:47,520
What an insolent girl she is.

595
00:39:58,130 --> 00:40:00,900
I was impudent.

596
00:40:01,730 --> 00:40:03,299
I will leave now.

597
00:40:31,099 --> 00:40:32,130
Wait!

598
00:40:49,310 --> 00:40:51,580
Your Highness. I think...

599
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,919
the reason none of the
flowers face downward...

600
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,519
is because the painter thought of...

601
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,559
Du Hyang's poem of the drooping plum...

602
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,360
that grows downward by the water.

603
00:41:02,659 --> 00:41:05,798
Also, the upward flowers that you say...

604
00:41:05,799 --> 00:41:07,599
make you think of apricot flowers...

605
00:41:09,730 --> 00:41:12,270
is because the painter
was true to what she saw...

606
00:41:13,069 --> 00:41:15,969
and she painted exactly what she felt.

607
00:41:18,580 --> 00:41:20,349
Why are you doing this?

608
00:41:22,509 --> 00:41:23,549
Your Highness.

609
00:41:25,319 --> 00:41:27,090
She's a blessed painter.

610
00:42:54,409 --> 00:42:55,539
My gosh.

611
00:42:55,540 --> 00:42:56,639
What?

612
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,080
Does her painting have some kind of power?

613
00:43:02,650 --> 00:43:04,880
This is so very strange.

614
00:43:15,090 --> 00:43:18,798
Do you mean that Hong Eun
O's daughter could compete?

615
00:43:18,799 --> 00:43:22,369
I stopped her from applying,
but I'm warning you just in case.

616
00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:26,939
Eun O had a daughter?

617
00:43:26,940 --> 00:43:28,139
Promise me that...

618
00:43:29,210 --> 00:43:31,009
you will fail her.

619
00:43:36,909 --> 00:43:38,779
The blood of a blessed painter.

620
00:43:39,219 --> 00:43:41,250
She must be Hong Eun O's daughter.

621
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,549
I will...

622
00:43:44,090 --> 00:43:45,860
use my free pass stick.

623
00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:18,319
You got a free pass stick.

624
00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:20,590
There is no need for a reason.

625
00:44:20,730 --> 00:44:21,759
Pass.

626
00:44:29,099 --> 00:44:30,799
A free pass?

627
00:44:33,799 --> 00:44:36,139
Some petty list of painters?

628
00:44:36,310 --> 00:44:38,908
It could decide the fate of my colleagues,

629
00:44:38,909 --> 00:44:40,210
the honour of Baekyu Society,

630
00:44:41,049 --> 00:44:44,119
and bring hope to my life.

631
00:44:46,449 --> 00:44:48,219
Pass!

632
00:44:53,819 --> 00:44:56,659
You're out of your mind.

633
00:45:02,330 --> 00:45:03,330
Next!

634
00:45:03,339 --> 00:45:04,339
Hey.

635
00:45:05,210 --> 00:45:09,109
Troublemaker. I thought
you'd get into real trouble.

636
00:45:09,110 --> 00:45:10,778
What were you thinking?

637
00:45:10,779 --> 00:45:12,509
I don't know myself.

638
00:45:12,610 --> 00:45:15,150
It's too early to
celebrate. I have bad news.

639
00:45:15,850 --> 00:45:16,920
What is it?

640
00:45:17,389 --> 00:45:21,060
I think Prince Yangmyeong bought
the fake Sochundo from Wolseongdang.

641
00:45:21,619 --> 00:45:22,659
What?

642
00:45:23,020 --> 00:45:27,129
Didn't you think it weird that
he kept mentioning the butterfly?

643
00:45:27,130 --> 00:45:29,099
That can't be.

644
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:32,170
If it weren't for that,
why else would he fail you?

645
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:35,899
Come on. Even so...

646
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:37,270
What'll you do now?

647
00:45:37,739 --> 00:45:41,009
No one knows who Jung Seon Rye sold it to.

648
00:45:41,779 --> 00:45:46,278
Hey. Let's say Prince
Yangmyeong did buy my fake painting.

649
00:45:46,279 --> 00:45:49,218
Why would he have kept quiet until now?

650
00:45:49,219 --> 00:45:50,718
My back aches.

651
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,349
If you're not careful,
you might lose your hand...

652
00:45:53,350 --> 00:45:55,019
and your career too.

653
00:45:55,020 --> 00:45:56,319
Darn you.

654
00:45:57,389 --> 00:45:58,859
Mr. Choi.

655
00:45:58,860 --> 00:46:00,329
Fancy seeing you here.

656
00:46:00,330 --> 00:46:02,499
Hello, Mr. Song, Mr. Jang.

657
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:04,868
I have to go to the toilet. Bye.

658
00:46:04,869 --> 00:46:06,499
- Get back on time.
- You're all here.

659
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:07,738
Of course we are.

660
00:46:07,739 --> 00:46:09,269
It's the first contest in years.

661
00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:10,540
We wouldn't miss it.

662
00:46:11,170 --> 00:46:13,639
I should try even hard
now that I saw you here.

663
00:46:13,779 --> 00:46:14,939
Goodbye.

664
00:46:14,940 --> 00:46:16,678
Don't try too hard.

665
00:46:16,679 --> 00:46:18,350
See you around.

666
00:46:19,449 --> 00:46:20,449
Let's go.

667
00:46:25,290 --> 00:46:28,618
Isn't she the rude painter
who talked back at the prince?

668
00:46:28,619 --> 00:46:30,258
Yes, it's her.

669
00:46:30,259 --> 00:46:32,989
She came in with Seomungwan's Scholar Ha.

670
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,969
Seomungwan's Scholar
Ha? Are they talking about him?

671
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,369
He's relying on his friendship
with the prince to back his lover.

672
00:46:43,739 --> 00:46:46,209
She even got a free pass.

673
00:46:46,210 --> 00:46:49,138
Rumours that he was
cursed to become a freak...

674
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:50,809
with red eyes must be true.

675
00:46:50,810 --> 00:46:54,080
Don't you think he cast a spell to
make the butterflies come over?

676
00:46:54,750 --> 00:46:58,489
If it wasn't that, he
put honey on the paper.

677
00:46:58,989 --> 00:47:00,690
I'm impressed.

678
00:47:06,389 --> 00:47:07,560
Darn it.

679
00:47:08,799 --> 00:47:10,460
My gosh.

680
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,520
What?

681
00:47:30,889 --> 00:47:33,118
Do you know about Seomungwan's Scholar Ha?

682
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:35,420
Yes. The guardian
spirit of the King's palace.

683
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,130
That's it?

684
00:47:39,290 --> 00:47:41,799
He's also called the freak with red eyes.

685
00:47:43,159 --> 00:47:44,199
Why?

686
00:47:45,299 --> 00:47:46,729
Because his eyes are red?

687
00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:47,770
Yes.

688
00:47:50,369 --> 00:47:52,440
No one has said that to me before.

689
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,610
People see my eyes and call me a freak.

690
00:48:02,250 --> 00:48:05,889
Is a Seomungwan scholar a high rank?

691
00:48:07,659 --> 00:48:08,759
It is.

692
00:48:10,319 --> 00:48:12,759
Why? Are you interested?

693
00:48:13,659 --> 00:48:17,569
Hey. Are you interested in
everything you ask about?

694
00:48:17,869 --> 00:48:21,699
I just heard his eyes are
red and asked you about it.

695
00:48:22,770 --> 00:48:25,509
What's that about a curse or something?

696
00:48:28,210 --> 00:48:30,210
You're acting really weird today.

697
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:32,509
You're even asking about a guy.

698
00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:35,150
Do you know something?

699
00:48:35,580 --> 00:48:37,290
Come on, tell me.

700
00:48:37,489 --> 00:48:38,489
Well,

701
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:41,359
he was offered as a
sacrifice at the rainmaking ritual...

702
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,060
and they say that's
why his eyes turned red.

703
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:44,429
What?

704
00:48:45,529 --> 00:48:46,888
The rainmaking ritual?

705
00:48:46,889 --> 00:48:49,560
Yes. It was almost 20 years ago.

706
00:48:52,630 --> 00:48:53,670
Hey.

707
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,310
What is it? Do you feel sick?

708
00:48:57,969 --> 00:49:00,339
No. Don't mind me.

709
00:49:03,949 --> 00:49:05,650
If it was 20 years ago...

710
00:49:06,909 --> 00:49:07,949
No way.

711
00:49:11,449 --> 00:49:13,920
The second round will start soon.

712
00:49:14,259 --> 00:49:16,289
Can the painter who is called...

713
00:49:16,290 --> 00:49:19,560
stand and give a speech
on how they will compete?

714
00:49:20,259 --> 00:49:21,729
Monk Manyoo.

715
00:49:21,730 --> 00:49:23,259
A painting is...

716
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:27,229
a depiction of creations
borrowing the power of paper and ink.

717
00:49:27,230 --> 00:49:28,639
Through it,

718
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:32,670
you must be able to
meditate and teach the people.

719
00:49:33,569 --> 00:49:36,380
Save us, merciful Buddha.

720
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:37,709
Choi Jung.

721
00:49:37,710 --> 00:49:40,649
You don't put anything inside a painting.

722
00:49:40,650 --> 00:49:42,449
It's a battle of brush strokes.

723
00:49:43,049 --> 00:49:45,350
I don't know how to lose that battle.

724
00:49:45,650 --> 00:49:46,850
I will win.

725
00:49:47,389 --> 00:49:50,759
There is no winning
or losing about painting.

726
00:49:51,159 --> 00:49:53,130
You paint, then you walk.

727
00:49:53,489 --> 00:49:56,429
Then you have fun, and that's it.

728
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,739
Most of the people here paint for a living.

729
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:04,940
They grew up fighting others
like thugs fight in the marketplace.

730
00:50:05,469 --> 00:50:07,040
I will not back down easily.

731
00:50:07,310 --> 00:50:10,749
You people talk too
much about boring stuff.

732
00:50:10,750 --> 00:50:11,810
Fighting thugs?

733
00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:15,019
I'd like to win that fight.

734
00:50:15,020 --> 00:50:17,350
I'd like to make my family proud.

735
00:50:18,650 --> 00:50:20,219
Hong Cheon Gi.

736
00:50:26,389 --> 00:50:27,500
This contest,

737
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,400
to some high-up noble
young man is just a game,

738
00:50:31,830 --> 00:50:33,670
and to some painters...

739
00:50:33,699 --> 00:50:36,100
is a fight for money or glory.

740
00:50:36,540 --> 00:50:37,739
But to me,

741
00:50:38,310 --> 00:50:40,540
it's a lifelong wish.

742
00:50:41,110 --> 00:50:43,080
My whole life is at stake.

743
00:50:43,639 --> 00:50:46,549
I will win.

744
00:50:56,190 --> 00:50:57,219
With that,

745
00:50:57,290 --> 00:50:59,959
I congratulate all 20 people...

746
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:01,959
who made it to the second round.

747
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,929
Are you all ready to begin?

748
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:10,699
Very well. I look forward
to your submissions.

749
00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:16,739
I will explain the new
rules to the second round.

750
00:51:17,009 --> 00:51:19,909
In this round, you'll paint using paper,

751
00:51:20,009 --> 00:51:22,850
brushes, and ink provided by Maejukheon.

752
00:51:23,049 --> 00:51:25,388
You'll each get one sheet...

753
00:51:25,389 --> 00:51:27,218
of oiled bamboo pulp paper.

754
00:51:27,219 --> 00:51:30,290
If you make a mistake,
you will not get another sheet.

755
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,259
Instead, you'll be failed on the spot.

756
00:51:32,529 --> 00:51:35,199
One wrong stroke and you're done.

757
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,900
Oiled bamboo pulp paper?

758
00:51:37,330 --> 00:51:40,170
Isn't it expensive paper
used for portraits at Gohwawon?

759
00:51:40,869 --> 00:51:43,468
Do we have to draw someone's portrait?

760
00:51:43,469 --> 00:51:46,209
What? Then Nuisance has an advantage.

761
00:51:46,210 --> 00:51:48,579
You troublemakers.

762
00:51:48,580 --> 00:51:50,440
Would they make us draw a portrait?

763
00:51:52,779 --> 00:51:54,380
If the paper's oiled,

764
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,880
it depends on how we use the ink.

765
00:51:58,089 --> 00:52:00,388
The brush has no core,

766
00:52:00,389 --> 00:52:03,259
and you only get one
thick brush with a long stem.

767
00:52:04,089 --> 00:52:06,330
Those who cannot use this brush...

768
00:52:06,529 --> 00:52:09,158
or those who used
special tailored brushes...

769
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:11,170
Just one brush? That's unbelievable.

770
00:52:11,869 --> 00:52:13,399
What are we supposed to do?

771
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:14,838
Just one long-stemmed brush?

772
00:52:14,839 --> 00:52:17,040
I really want to cry now.

773
00:52:17,069 --> 00:52:18,868
A long-stemmed brush with no core.

774
00:52:18,869 --> 00:52:21,580
It'll be hard for most to
even draw a straight line.

775
00:52:22,279 --> 00:52:24,178
If we use the wrong amount of water,

776
00:52:24,179 --> 00:52:25,909
we can't make any delicate touches.

777
00:52:25,949 --> 00:52:27,520
The delicate touches,

778
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,079
you can make by using
just some of the brush hairs.

779
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,088
(To split the hairs)

780
00:52:31,089 --> 00:52:32,290
We know that much.

781
00:52:32,589 --> 00:52:33,619
Split the hairs?

782
00:52:33,650 --> 00:52:36,059
If we compete using the
same paper, brush, and ink,

783
00:52:36,060 --> 00:52:38,029
the difference in skill will be apparent.

784
00:52:38,690 --> 00:52:41,329
Experienced people will realize...

785
00:52:41,330 --> 00:52:43,029
how to use the brush in no time.

786
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,900
It will come down to skill and energy.

787
00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:47,670
The painting type...

788
00:52:48,469 --> 00:52:49,669
is landscape.

789
00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:53,069
(Paintings of scenery
such as rivers or mountains.)

790
00:52:53,339 --> 00:52:54,509
And the theme...

791
00:52:56,980 --> 00:52:59,549
I ask Seomungwan's
Scholar Ha to provide that.

792
00:53:02,850 --> 00:53:05,119
Your Highness, I do not dare.

793
00:53:05,690 --> 00:53:08,860
Scholar Ha is my close friend...

794
00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:11,429
and an astronomer acknowledged by the King.

795
00:53:11,690 --> 00:53:13,060
His poems...

796
00:53:13,130 --> 00:53:16,100
are also just as astronomical.

797
00:53:16,460 --> 00:53:18,000
Step forward.

798
00:53:33,150 --> 00:53:34,279
One more step.

799
00:53:35,049 --> 00:53:36,279
Do your best.

800
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,488
Spring is everywhere on the mountain,

801
00:53:43,489 --> 00:53:45,229
(Spring is everywhere on the mountain)

802
00:53:45,230 --> 00:53:47,088
and I play among the peach blossoms.

803
00:53:47,089 --> 00:53:49,928
(I play among the peach blossoms)

804
00:53:49,929 --> 00:53:52,669
I suddenly wish for a peach,

805
00:53:52,670 --> 00:53:57,269
(I suddenly wish for a peach)

806
00:53:57,270 --> 00:54:00,269
so I look for it morning and night.

807
00:54:00,270 --> 00:54:06,480
(I look for it morning and night)

808
00:54:07,250 --> 00:54:10,948
In this round, if your painting moves us,

809
00:54:10,949 --> 00:54:12,420
you'll get extra points.

810
00:54:13,290 --> 00:54:17,060
Also, paintings that
show courage and energy...

811
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,259
will gain extra points.

812
00:54:22,429 --> 00:54:23,529
Are you...

813
00:54:24,299 --> 00:54:26,069
really Ha Ram?

814
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:29,199
The time you get

815
00:54:29,739 --> 00:54:30,770
is two hours.

816
00:54:51,730 --> 00:54:55,199
Everyone's painting so
smoothly as if they knew the theme.

817
00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:58,000
This is really bad.

818
00:55:00,569 --> 00:55:02,440
Let's paint horizontally.

819
00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:15,850
Hey. I don't know
what's going on, but focus.

820
00:55:18,020 --> 00:55:20,920
(Number 39)

821
00:55:24,489 --> 00:55:27,230
Yes. I'll ask after the contest.

822
00:55:45,350 --> 00:55:47,679
You drew the fake Sochundo?

823
00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:51,190
I still cannot believe it.

824
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:02,830
Is it really you?

825
00:56:03,699 --> 00:56:04,799
Is it you?

826
00:56:06,069 --> 00:56:07,940
There's a lot I want to ask,

827
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:09,839
but I'll save it.

828
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,819
The peach orchard, 19 years ago.

829
00:56:28,460 --> 00:56:32,159
Do you still remember that place?

830
00:56:32,730 --> 00:56:33,790
I'd like to know.

831
00:56:34,529 --> 00:56:36,560
Even if I once adored you,

832
00:56:37,029 --> 00:56:40,299
I am already a dead man.

833
00:56:41,369 --> 00:56:43,069
You listened to me,

834
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,909
and you held my hand with such warmth.

835
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,909
I cannot forget it.

836
00:56:50,639 --> 00:56:53,449
Did you look forward to it?

837
00:56:54,179 --> 00:56:56,150
To the tomorrow I promised?

838
00:56:57,580 --> 00:56:58,750
I want to hear...

839
00:56:59,690 --> 00:57:02,619
the reason you couldn't return.

840
00:57:43,429 --> 00:57:45,330
(Lovers of the Red Sky)

841
00:57:45,500 --> 00:57:47,528
Why do you tell me to forget so easily?

842
00:57:47,529 --> 00:57:49,569
I did not come back to see you...

843
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,138
because I had forgotten about you.

844
00:57:52,139 --> 00:57:54,609
For how long will you keep quiet?

845
00:57:54,610 --> 00:57:57,850
Is it that wrong for a painter
to enter a painting contest?

846
00:57:57,909 --> 00:57:59,749
Do your paintings even contain...

847
00:57:59,750 --> 00:58:00,979
your energy and soul?

848
00:58:00,980 --> 00:58:04,079
People are not moved by a painter's skill.

849
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,189
You're giving up like this?

850
00:58:05,190 --> 00:58:07,718
What do you know
about me for you to say that?

851
00:58:07,719 --> 00:58:09,290
It wasn't your fault.

852
00:58:09,659 --> 00:58:11,190
Don't blame yourself.

853
00:58:11,460 --> 00:58:13,190
Don't blame yourself.

854
00:58:14,699 --> 00:58:15,759
Ha Ram.

855
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:17,799
It's you, isn't it?
