Lovers of the Red Sky

The characters and settings of this drama are fictional and have no connection to historical facts.

You may go in.

I'm Painter Hong Cheon Gi of Baegyu Painting Institute.

Painter Hong Cheon Gi of Baegyu Painting Institute...

Well, look who this is.

Our Painter Hong!
(Jeong Soen Nae: The deputy manager of Wolsungdang)

We should finish our business first.

How dare you harass a woman in broad daylight?

What a disgrace!

Quiet down!

You don't know anything!

Hey, hey.

Are you truly a painter?

Show me your contestant identification.

Oh, yes.

I seem to have left it at home.

I am from Baegyu Painting Institute.

I'm a painter. Please let me in.

(Go Pil: Grand Prince Yangmyeong's Chief Steward)

A woman painter? A dog walking down the street would laugh.

If you don't have a contestant's identification stick, you cannot go inside. So there.

Next, next. Hurry up and wrap it up.

- Wait...
- Hurry, hurry.

Let's go while I'm being polite. Let's not waste energy.

Wait, hold on!

What is going on here?

Let go of that hand immediately.

Palanquin?

Scholar Sir.

I see. So, you two are in that kind of relationship, huh?

Watch your mouth!

- He is—
- Man Su.

- Yes, sir.
- I will take her with me.

Says who? Come here!

Come now!

You bastard!

Are you all right?

Yes.

You're here, Supervisor Ha.
You, how dare you be so impudent?

This is Grand Prince Yangmyeong's Maejukheon!

Get out of here!

- Shoo!
- Run!

Let's go! Run!

Please come inside.

She is also a participant of the contest today.

She will come in with me.

Oh, yes. Of course.

See? What did I tell you?

Come now, hurry up!

Take out your contestant identification.

Episode 5: Maejukheon Painting Contest, Part 1

It is quite amazing.

It is as busy as a market during Chuseok*.
(major harvest festival on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar)

So, why are you at the painting contest?

I was invited by Grand Prince Yangmyeong.

Invited?

Grand Prince Yangmyeong invited you

but forgot to be considerate.

There is no one to guide you.

Never mind! I shall guide you.

- Please, I will be indebted to you.
- Sure.

Trust me and follow me.

This way, please.

Careful in front of you.

But Sir, how are you so nimble?

It was as if you could see.

Not even those who can see can be that good.

Are you a military officer by any chance?

I have trained since I was young.

Let's say I had a good mentor.

Anyhow, it was marvelous.

How could I ever repay you?

No need. I only did what I had to.

But those men work for Wolseongdang.

I am worried they will retaliate against you because of me.

It is best to avoid fights and not get involved.

I will avoid them, so do not worry.

You must be very, very careful.

These seem to be the guest seats.

And on the other side...

I will paint in the yard here.

Is that so?

I look forward to it.

I have never been to such a grand contest.

I have dreamed of this moment for a long time.

I believe you could surely win first place.

Pardon?

Don't say such things.

But I will l do my best.

Then I pray you to go forth bravely and get a good result.

Come this way, please.

Thank you.

Keep an eye out for me.

I'm sorry.

It is all right. I'm used to it now.

I will be going now.

Where did that girl go?

There she is!

Cheon Gi, Cheon Gi!

- Hey!
- Goodness!

Why do you walk so fast?
(Choi Jeong: Painting Bureau painter)
(Cha Yeong Uk: Baegyu Painting Institute painter)

When did you get here, Obnoxious One?

- We were worried about you.
- Hey, hey!

You two came in here by yourselves. Worried?

Honestly.

I ran into Jeong Soen Nae on the way here and almost died.

What?

You ran into that thug?

How is he out so quickly?

I don't know.

So? What happened?

What do you mean, what happened?

I just escaped somehow.

Anyhow, we should watch our backs at night.

Then we did all of that for nothing?

- That is truly a shame.
- I've seen him somewhere before.

Hey, don't mind him.

Let's hurry and find our seats.

True, we can talk later. We need to find our spots.

You still didn't find a seat?

- We were looking for you!
- We had no time! We were looking for you!

("Precious Brushstroke" Monk Man Yu)
♫ Wang Ja Jin's pipe flute, Kwak Cheo Sa's bamboo drum ♫

("Divine Brushstroke" Gang Hui Yeon)
♫ da-da-dum da-dum Seok Yeon Ja's geomungo ♫

♫ dung-deong-ji dung-deong-deong, Jang Ryang's jade flute ♫

("Magical Brushstroke" Sim Dae Yu (Sim Sat Gat))
♫ fee-fee-ru-ri-ru Hae Gang's haegeum ♫

Let's sit here.

This is the best seat.

Just watch. I will win first place here at Maejukheon.

Making it to the third round will get you into the Painter Bureau.

Stop being obnoxious. Be humble and careful.

Hey. That wouldn't be enough for me.

Let's see.

♫ Hey Ya Jihwaja, all is well ♫

♫ Hey Ya Jihwaja ♫

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

♫ Hey Ya Jihwaja, all is well ♫

Let's do it!

♫ Hurrah! ♫

Look who it is.

Supervisor Ha of the Astronomy and Meteorology Bureau.

You are as graceful as a painting, as always.

Have you been well?

I didn't think he was interested in paintings.

I was curious as to who he was since His Majesty favors him so.
(Ahn Yeong Hoe: Grand Prince Juhyang's strategist)
(Seo Gi Jeong: Advisor at the Office of Special Advisors

He is handsome and graceful.

He truly does not seem human.

Is that so?

Grand Prince Juhyang is here.

I apologize for not greeting Your Highness sooner.

I thought you would be busy with your duties at the Astronomy Bureau.

I am surprised to see you here.

I had my fortune read today and got an auspicious result, the revitalization fortune. Thus, I am here.

It must have meant that I would be blessed to watch the contest sitting next to Your Highness.

- The revitalization fortune?
- You mean it's the heavens will?

Yes.

I am happy to hear someone as dignified as you speak such words to me.

Enjoy yourself.

Yes, Your Highness.

What a mischievous man you are.

Had you died that day at the cliff,

it would not have been so cumbersome.

Mother!

(Kim Gong Rye: former Inquisitor, now Grand Prince Juhyang's captain of the guard)

Distinguished guests and painters we have invited here today!

The Maejukheon Painting Contest shall begin soon.

Please take your seats!

Hey, hey.

Paint boulders with finely separated brush tips, trees with emphatic, bold lines

and for painting bamboo, you must be skilled in calligraphy.

Anyone who knows this must know that painting and calligraphy are the same.

I have opened the doors of Maejukheon again after four years

to find a talented painter such as the one I described.

It is good to see you all.

I am Yangmyeong, the owner of Maejukheon.

Now, I shall introduce you to the judges who will judge by my side.

First, Han Geon, Master Painter of the Painting Bureau.

And the man who studied with him, the headmaster

of the acclaimed Baegyu Painting Institute, Choi Won Ho.

The headmistress of the Cheongyu Painting Institute, Yu Si Saeng.

My brother's close friend and mine,

as well as Dan Dynasty's best calligrapher, Seo Gi Jeong.
(Seo Gi Jeong: Advisor at the Office of Special Advisors )

And finally, the man who sets an example

for his brother by excelling in martial arts and literature,

Grand Prince Juhyang.

This contest will take place over the next two days.

There will be three rounds total.

The first and second round paintings will be done today

and the third round will be tomorrow.

First, the guest I designate in each round will assign the theme.

Second, the evaluation will take place without revealing the painter's rank and status.

- That's right!
- Yes!

Third, after the evaluation is finished,

the judges will determine pass or fail by using blue and red tiles.

Red tile means to pass, and blue tile means to fail.

You pass if there are more red tiles than blue.

If not, you fail.

However, even if you fail,

the higher judge's all pass tile can allow you to pass the round once.

I look forward to seeing paintings that will live on for eternity.

And I will personally participate in judging.

For the first round, you may use the painting papers we have prepared for you without limit.

Stay in your seats, and we shall hand out your first paper.

Thank you.

And if you do not finish the painting in time, you fail.

- The time limit and requirements are different for every round.
- The Maejukheon stamp is so beautiful.

It smells good. Maybe since it's top-quality paper, it even smells different.

You two really are so tacky.

You look like you're about to kiss the paper.

Hey, Yeong Uk.

Who is that eerie-looking monk?

Jeolla Province's "ghost painter", monk Man Yu?

When he painted Yumahil* on the temple wall,
(one of Buddha's disciples)

the painting lit up the whole temple.

The people gathered towards the painting and donated more than a million coins.

He shocked the world with his ghost-like painting skills.

So, they call him "ghost painter".

Hey, what about that man in a satgat*?
(straw hat)

I think he is Sim Satgat.

- He is Gyeongsang Province's "magic painter".
- Magic painter?

Magic painter...

I see. Hey, he must have the power to paint while riding a horse!
('Ma' in Korean means horse)

Whoa. Horse painting skill, like fog enveloping a horse.

He composes the painting while riding on thunderously.

Titled "The Horse Painting"!

Ah, how frustrating.

Let me restrain myself here.

So, no one knows his face or age because he always wears his satgat.

A goblin named Hwacha*, who likes to paint, visited him every night for a painting duel
(a goblin that feeds on the energy of paintings)

until he opened his eyes to the unconscious energy within him.

That's why he is called "magic painter".

Do you see now?

All the best painters of the Dan Dynasty are here.

Actually, there is someone else here who has everyone's attention.

Who is it?

Oh, me?

No. Even I know who it is.

The most probable winner of this painting contest

is Gang Hi Yeon of godly brushstroke.

A prodigy since childhood, the best in scholar-style painting.

He paints trees and rivers with straight and composed lines,

but emphasizes empty spaces by framing the painting's focus with them.

His paintings are uniquely brimming with life.

The judges also prefer paintings by art-loving aristocratic scholars, so he is most likely to win.

Not painters like us, who paint for a living.

So you're saying...

that I should accept that I will not win this painting contest?

Aigoo, look at the people around us.

How could we even compete against them?

Still, we should dream big at Maejukheon, Long Face.

- Annoying One?
- Well, well.

So, you're going to try to win? Is that it?

She really had no fear since she was a child.

- Really.
- Exactly.

Keep grinding your ink stick.

We shall announce the first genre and theme.

The first genre is 'Plum and Bamboo.'*
(A painting of plum blossoms and bamboo trees.)

And now, the theme.

I shall hand it to the Painting Bureau's dignified Han Geon.

What?

Hey, doesn't this give Jeong an upper hand?

I know. Isn't that his teacher?

"Reciting a poem alone under the moonlight..."

"Reciting a poem alone under the moonlight,

the scent of plum blossoms seeps into my clothes.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies takes flight in anticipation of spring."

Well then, you have two hours from now.

Two hours?

That's too tight.

- I'm not even done grinding my ink yet.
- Grind your ink first.

How is that?

I changed the genre to adjust to the level of the imitation painter.

An excellent choice, Your Highness.

Magnificent handwriting.

It puts Han Oh to shame.

How marvelous.

I agree.

How can one write with such grace?

- How elegant.
- My goodness!

A firm but graceful handwriting.
(Yi Hyeon Mo: Secretary at the Ministry of War)
(Sim Jeong Wu: Researcher at the Hall of Worthies)

His Highness's handwriting is as divine as usual.

Even the envoys of the Yeon Empire envy his handwriting.

His handwriting truly is worthy of being labeled a national treasure.

Does it bother you, Your Highness?

Not at all.

I am only proud of my brother's fine skills.

It is only handwriting.

Please focus on Grand Prince Yangmyeong's intentions.

Reciting a poem alone under the moonlight...

the scent of plum blossoms seeps into my clothes.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies takes flight in anticipation of spring.

Hey, Jeong.

Hey.

Can you please... interpret that theme again?

Poem moonlight, plum blossoms, butterflies flying in spring.

What?

What is he saying?

Yeong Uk, you try.

All right, trust me.

Be precise.

Under the moon...

Reciting a poem alone under the moonlight...

Poetry something, something...

Hey. Forget it.

- Even I heard that.
- Hey, hey, hey.

I'll repeat it one last time. Listen carefully.

Reciting a poem alone under the moonlight,

the smell of plum blossoms is so strong that it seeps into your clothes.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies flies because they think spring has come already.

That is what that says.

All right, fine.

So...

Moonlight.

Plum flowers.

Butterfly.

What is it?

What a strange painting.

I haven't even finished.

I guess this won't do.

The aura of his brushstrokes is amazing.

Already?

Two hours have passed already.

Where the brush touches, we call it "sil".
(sil: expressing the essence of the object by exposing it)

And the empty space is called "heo".
(heo: expressing the energy of the object with emptiness)

Will you let sil win... to minimize the form?

Or let sil lose...to reveal the form?

Father.

How could one include a million strokes in a single stroke?

I let go of my greed

and I can see the flowers and the moon.

As this is the first round, there are many paintings that seem too clumsy.

How could painters draw such lamentable first strokes?

We must observe the merit of their paintings.

What the painter focused on.

As the first genre is plum and bamboo,

we will grade based on their perception of and attitude toward nature.

If you close your eyes like this, you can hear sounds.

Even if it is her,

our tie has already been broken once.

I cannot ruin a grand plan because of personal feelings.

The first round is over!

Be sure to write your name.

- Are you finished?
- Yes.

- Did you put your names on?
- Yes.

Prepare for evaluation.

I see how generous and bold the composition is,

but it did not capture the depth of the theme.

- It contradicts the theme.
- Six blues!

Twenty six blues... and eight reds.

Fail!

The intensity of the ink to represent the moonlight is too dark.

Fail.

Grace is the most important element of plum blossoms.

There is nothing more to see.

Hey, Meok Soe!

It is not always best to overfill the painting.

The plum blossom's aura lacks what it needs to fulfill the lone scholar's uneasiness.

Fail!

Pil Dong.

- Good work.
- Be sure to stay and pass!

There are not enough brushstrokes in the plum blossoms, so it looks too bare.

Fail.

Fail!

The strokes are too rough, and there is no control over the ink flow.

- Fail.
- Fail!

- Fail.
- Fail.

Fail.

Hey, look!

Yeong Uk's.

The radiantly blooming blossoms on each branch signify

maintaining fidelity and integrity in the midst of difficult reality.

It is a fine work that well embodies the symbolism of plum blossoms.

Thirty-one reds and three blues.

Number 25, pass!

Pass!

The branches extend gracefully under the moonlight.

The flowers give off cold air.

Pass.

- Hey!
- Hey! It's a pass!

You passed!

The rough portrayal of the blossoms invokes a sense of Buddhist fidelity.

Pass.

- Number 32 looks quite good.
- Hey, it's yours.

This painting has different dignity and character.

It is a fresh composition and technique.

Pass.

Even the merchants from Yeon Empire would want to buy it.

There is nothing more to say.

It expresses the flowers and moon in a poetic manner

and is pleasing to the eyes.

It is a pass.

The spirit of the painting flows with the wind, scatters at the flower,

and halts at the moon.

It is remarkable.

Marvelous.

But what is this?

There is no question that this work enhanced the flavor empty space can impart

and the brush techniques, as well as the control of light and dark, are magnificent.

As your gaze moves with the flow, you find the full moon

and it looks as if the legends of the heavens

could settle over the blossoms. It exudes marvelous energy.

However!

Plum blossoms do not boast their scent even in the coldest winters.

This painter should ponder over the meaning of my words.

Fail.

Six blues!

Four blues.

Thirty-three blues and one red.

Then, this painting is a fail.

Wait, Your Highness!

I have something to ask Your Highness.

Come forth.

I am Hong Cheon Gi of Baegyu Painting Institute.

Your Highness said that my painting is good, but you cannot give it a pass.

I would like to know the reason.

All the participants accepted the evaluation.

Why would you step forward to ask the reason behind it?

I apologize sincerely for interrupting the contest

and abruptly questioning.

But I am not defying the judgment of a highly regarded superior.

I have already failed, as Your Highness has announced.

Then?

My institute's honor and my life's hope have both been broken.

If I return in shame without even knowing why,

I am afraid I may never be able to hold a brush again, out of regret.

Thus I dare to ask you.

What is it that I lack?

Your painting has a unique composition, unlike any other plum blossom painting.

This alone captivates the viewer.

You have enough skills.

However, the sepals of all the plum blossoms in this painting are facing up,

making them appear like apricot blossoms.

And don't you think these butterflies flying this busily at night

betray the painter's shallow motive to attract people's interest?

It is the same as selling out the fragrance of plum blossoms symbolizing fidelity and integrity.

You can ask ten times, but your painting is nevertheless a 'fail' to me.

As expected, the butterflies were the problem.

What does that mean?

Don't you see?

His Highness is nitpicking.

There is something in that butterfly painting.

There is something there.

As expected, that butterfly.

What? What about the butterfly? It looks fine. Why?

The wings are fine. It has antennae—

Butterfly?

- Gosh...
- You are fearless.

This is my secret signature.

I saw that painter at the paint-making house.

The two surely ... must know each other.

She knows Yul?

Your Highness.

To criticize that the technique is too detailed and makes it too lively...

That's what I'm saying as well—

How do you all feel about it?

The brush tip seems to carry more unexpressed meanings and the plum branches are taut to the point of breaking.

It seems that the painter was swayed by her feelings

and forgot the central theme of the painting.

I also think the blossoms in the painting are too simplified.

They feel crude and unsophisticated.

Listening to you all has proven furthermore why this painting is a fail.

Your Highness, are you failing me simply because the blossoms

are not upside down and look like apricot blossoms?

You told the painters that this was a free-spirited competition.

So how could you say such things?

Are you talking back to me?

Forgive me.

Whatever the case,

I see that you tried to show off your finesse with the unconventional composition in this painting

and forgot the essence of the theme. What can I say?

Aigoo, that's right. Hong Cheon Gi got caught.

My painting also shows butterflies flying under the moonlight.

- So why...
- Come now.

All the world and its phenomena are in the human mind.

Who can she blame?

In any case, those who are meant to pass will pass and those who are meant to fail will fail.

I see.

I now realize what it means to hold a painting contest at Maejukheon.

- Good, then.
- Your Highness...

You say that Maejukheon Painting Contest puts aside rank and status and participants compete only with skills.

However... I now know full well that those were merely pleasing words

and the results are ultimately decided according to Your Highness's taste and opinion.

Unbelievable!

- Listen to her talk.
- Goodness.

What a bold wench.

I have disrespected you.

I shall be going now.

Wait!

Your Highness, in my opinion,

the reason the blossoms are not upside down in this painting

is because she had in mind the blossoms of plum trees growing by the waterside

whose branches shoot out in the opposite direction, as in Du Hyang's poetry, Dosumae.

Furthermore, the reason they appear like apricot blossoms with all their upward sepals

is because the painter is faithfully rendering her feelings as she looked upon those plum flowers.

What are you doing?

Your Highness...

she is a divine painter.

What?

Does that painting have divine powers or something?

How bizarre.

Do you really mean that Hong Eun Oh's daughter might attend the contest?

I tried to prevent her from coming,

but I'm telling you just in case she does.

I did not realize Eun Oh had a daughter.

Promise me.

We must fail her.

I have no doubt she is the daughter of Hong Eun Oh,

the descendant of the divine painter.

I shall...

use my all-pass tile.

Whoa!

An all-pass tile.

No questions asked.

It is a pass.

The all-pass tile.

"Mere painter list?"

But at the very least, this list has my friends' lives

and the honor of Baegyu Painting Institute,

and my life's hope written in it.

Pass!

You did it!

Next.

Obnoxious One, I truly thought there was going to be trouble earlier.

What were you thinking?

I don't know, either.

It is too early to be relieved. I have bad news.

What news?

I think Grand Prince Yangmyeong is the one who bought Wolseongdang's fake Sochundo.

What?

I mean, was it not suspicious that he kept bringing up

- the butterflies in your painting?
- No way.

If not that, what else would he have against you?

- Gosh, but still.
- What will you do now?

No one knows whom Jeong Soen Nae sold it to.

Hey, let's say that His Highness did buy my painting.

So why would he not do anything about it all this time?

Aaah, my back!

You keep saying "no way." That's how they break your wrist and your painter life could be over.

Come on, seriously!

Painter Choi.

Good to see you, Painter Choi.

Painter Seong and Painter Jang.

I have to go to the bathroom. I'm off.

- You have to come back on time.
- You are all here.

- All right, all right.
- Of course.

It is the first such contest in several years. We could not miss it.

I see I should work harder now that I see you both.

I shall be going now.

Go easy on us, Painter Choi.

See you soon.

Let's go.

Is that not the rude woman painter who talked back to His Highness?

Oh, it is.

The wench who came in with Supervisor Ha of the Astronomy Bureau.

Supervisor Ha of Astronomy Bureau?

Do they mean the scholar?

He must be here to back his woman since he is close to His Highness.

Even Master Painter Han Geon gave her the all-pass.

I guess it is not just a rumor that he was cursed and became the red-eyed monster.

He must have enchanted the painting to make the butterflies fly to it.

Or maybe she painted honey onto it.

Unbelievable.

What?

Do you know Supervisor Ha of the Astronomy Bureau?

I do. He is the protector god of the king's palace.

That's it?

I hear he is also called the red-eyed monster.

Why?

- Because he has red eyes?
- Yes.

No one has ever said that to me before.

People call me a monster when they see my eyes.

If he is a supervisor at the Astronomy Bureau, is he of high rank?

I suppose so.

Why?

Are you interested in him?

Hey! Does asking a question mean having interest?

I'm only curious since they say he has red eyes.

But that curse or something. What is that supposed to mean?

You really are strange today.

I can't believe you show interest in a man.

You know something, don't you?

Come, tell me. Hurry.

Well ...

I heard his eyes turned red after he was sacrificed for the Seokcheok Rain Ritual.

What?

- Seokcheok Rain Ritual?
- That's right.

It was almost 20 years ago.

Hey.

What's wrong? Are you unwell?

No, never mind me.

Twenty years ago was...

Could he be...

The second round will start soon.

Once each painter is called, tell us your resolution for the second round.

Monk Man Yu.

Above all, painting uses brush and ink to draw the whole world and its creatures as a way to enlighten the self

and to embrace the masses within it.
("Precious Brushstroke" Monk Man Yu)

Namu Amitabul Avalokitesvara Guan Yin*.
(Goddess of mercy in Buddhism)

Painter Choi Jeong.
(painter at the Painting Bureau)

A painting is not meant to contain something

but it is a fight between line and line.

I am not one to lose a battle of lines.

I shall win.

How can one win or lose in painting?
("Divine Brushstroke" Gang Hui Yeon)

We can only paint, stroll, and have a good time while we are here.

Most of the people here are daubers from birth.
("Magical Brushstroke" Sim Dae Yu (Sim Sat Gat))

We paint for a living and grew up practically brawling with our paintings on the streets.

I shall not back down easily.

What a bunch of lousy fancy words.
(Cha Yeong Uk, Baegyu Institute Painter)

Fighting?

Aigoo! I should win that fight.

I shall try to bring honor to my family.

Painter Hong Cheon Gi.

It seems this contest could be a playground for high-born noblemen

or a fight for money and honor for other painters.

But for me, it's something my lifelong wish depends on.

And my whole life depends on it.

I must win first place, no matter what.

Now, then. I congratulate the twenty of you on making it to the second round.

Are you all prepared for the second round?

Good.

I look forward to seeing your works in the second round.

I shall explain the new rules for the second round.

For the second round, you shall use the paper, brush and ink prepared for you by Maejukheon.

The paper is oiled Yujukcheongji
(hanji paper that is thin, tough and white, used for drawing portraits).

If you make a mistake, you cannot start again.

It will be an immediate fail.

One wrong brushstroke, and it's over.

Yujukcheongji...

Is this not the precious paper they use to draw portraits at the Painting Bureau?

Do they expect us to draw a portrait?

What?

Then Annoying One has the upper hand.

You obnoxious bunch.

They wouldn't ask us to draw a portrait.

Well, since it's oiled paper, how we use the ink will decide the outcome.

As for the brush, it is made of soft hair.

You get to use just one long, thick brush.

If those who cannot use this brush

and those who used a unique brush in the first round

- cannot deliver...
- One brush? I'm stunned.

- the same results,
- What do they expect us to do?

- that is also...
- Just one long-haired, large-sized brush?

- a fail.
- I want to cry.

It is a long, thick brush without even the stiff core.

With just an average painting skill, it would be difficult even to hold the brush right.

If we don't adjust the water well, we can't make delicate strokes.
(pil chi: individuality of the painting)

For delicate brushstrokes, you can make the tip of the brush jagged.

We knew that.

Right.

We will soon see who has more skill competing with the same paper, brush and ink.

An experienced painter will adapt to the brush quickly.

Ultimately it will be a battle of the artistry of brushstrokes.

The second round's style is "mountains and rivers".
(landscape painting)

And now the theme.

I leave this one to Supervisor Ha of the Astronomy Bureau.

Your Highness, how could I...

Supervisor Ha is a close friend of mine

and a great astrologist acknowledged by His Majesty.

What I mean is that his poetry and prose do not lack anything to serve as an opening statement.

Come forth.

I shall return in a moment.

I will leave it in your care.

The spring air fills the mountains

as we walk among the peach blossoms.

Suddenly the wish for peaches

makes me wander there morning and night.

For the second round, we will give additional points to paintings that touch us with special poignancy.

We shall also give additional points to paintings that show bold style and spirit.

Is he truly Ha Ram?

Now, you have two hours.

The spring air fills the mountains...

They all paint without hesitation as if they knew the theme already.

I'm in trouble now.

I should paint horizontally.

Hey. I don't know what's going on, but focus.

Right. I should ask him after the contest.

I still cannot believe that you are the Sochundo counterfeit painter.

Is it really you?

Is it you?

I have so much to ask, but I'll save my questions for now.

♫ Can you see my feelings for you? ♫

The peach tree field nineteen years ago.

I wonder if you still remember that place.

I may have cared for you once,

but I am already a dead man.

I cannot forget how warmly you listened to me and held my hand.

By chance, did you wait for me?

Did you wait for the tomorrow that I had promised you?

I want to know why you could not come back.

♫ My one and only ♫

♫ So we don't pass each other like the passing breeze ♫

♫ I will be here ♫

How can you tell me to forget so easily?

The reason that boy did not come back for you is because he forgot about you.

How long will you keep your mouth shut?

Is it so wrong for a painter to attend a painting contest?

Do your paintings contain the spirit of your brush and ink at all?

People are not touched by a painter's skills.

Are you giving up like this?

What do you know about me that you are saying this to me?

Don't blame only yourself

"Don't blame yourself."

for things you cannot control.

Ha Ram.

It is you, isn't it?

♫ So we don't pass each other like the passing breeze ♫
