Gisaeng House. Near a pond

Jeong Hyang with her servant passes by the pond after her performance where Shin Yun Bok stops her in her tracks (I have looks at the cast list, it is given as Jeong Hyang instead of Jung Hyang, my correction on it)

Shin Yun Bok stretches her hand to show the 5 nyang she earned from her sale of her drawing at the shop.

Shin Yun Bok: Can you please be able to play another tune for me to hear?

Jeong Hyang: Just an unjustifiable 5 nyang? You want to listen to a tune that is worth of 5 nyang?

Servant tries to convey the message to Shin Yun Bok

Servant: Just an unjustifiable 5 nyang…..

Shin Yun Bok interrupts

Shin Yun Bok: This 5 nyang is my every thing

Jeong Hyang glances at her then walks away only to have Shun Yun Bok grab & hold of Jang Hyang’s wrist to hold her back & turn Jeong Hyang towards her. Servant is shocked at the bodily contact

(Confucius Joseon society men & women are forbidden from bodily contact)

Jeong Hyang: What are you doing?

Shin Yun Bok: Until tomorrow, this hand of mine will no longer exist. This 5 nyang, is the exchange of sale of this hand final piece of painting that it will ever produce

Jeong Hyang feels for Shin Yun Bok

Shin Yun Bok: From the sale, I want to spend my final night, accompanied by the sound of your gayageum…together

Shin Yun Bok teary eyes pleading to Jung Hyang.

In her (Jeong Hyang’s) chambers. Jeong Hyang gives a private solo performance as Shi Yun Bok drinks as she is entertained & being drown by the sound of gayageum as Shin Yun Bok appreciated the music. She looks at her brush & then decided to paint Jung Hyang in action. She prepares the paper, as Jung Hyang strums with speed so was Shin Yun Bok’s speed in her brush strokes. As the music progresses, the painting is come alight on the paper. Music & brush stroke are in a unison orchestrate movement. Shin Yun Bok continues to produce painting after painting

(Shin Yun Bok’s birth mother was had been a celebrated gisaeng who was famous for her gayageum talents. Maybe her final days she yearns for her mother. In the brink of death, ones mostly will yearns & calls out for their own mothers)

In the end of the performance, Jeong Hyang to takes a fan to fan herself as she was sweating from her rigorous performance, admiring Shin Yun Bok while Shin Yun Bok lies in bed from exhaustion from painting. Shin Yun Bok looking at her hand & gets up to take a drink (wine) at the bottle

Jung Hyang: Why did you known before hand that such befall may happen? I am referring to that of your Teacher

Shin Yun Bok already tipsy & drunk

Shin Yun Bok: Teacher?

Shin Yun Bok focus her thoughts

(Kim Hong Do is pen name is known as Dan Won, my mistakes on the previous episode’s summary as Tam Won, it is because I am doing it by oral hearing. There is a correction here as well. I will go along to correct the misspelling of the names as I go along with the proper cast list aligned with the masses)

Shin Yun Bok: Ah! You are referring to Mr. Dan Won….is there a reason to it. Looking at it, created disturbances (chaos) to Dohwaseo, also selling vulgar paintings in the market, isn’t that without its consequences?

Jeong Hyang: Even though it is so, to have met you before this & to have heard you say that there may be some desire…..

Shin Yun Bok looks at Jeong Hyang

Shin Yun Bok: Desire?

Jeong Hyang: Desire, perhaps it is by all means, he may wants to safeguard you (Artist)

Shin Yun Bok: Safeguard?

Jeong Hyang: Perhaps, what words he had spoken to you (Artist, Jeong Hyang is referring by Shin Yun Bok’s designation) as such, may be a Teacher’s final hope

Shin Yun Bok: Hope?

Episode 3 Punishment of the Crushing of the hand (Sequel)

Someone is walking barefooted. It is Kim Hong Do in his sleep wear, curious of what the other Painter’s are looking at. He walks over to find the Punishment apparatus had someone had loaded to it

Other painters are like zombies jeering

Others: Put him to death! Put him to death

Kim Hong Do is looking around the zombies like painters. He looks at the person at the punishment contraption like someone he knew, most probable the incident that happened 10 years ago. Kim Hong Do shouts

Kim Hong Do: No!!!!

Others: Put him to death!!!!

Kim Hong Do: No!!!

(The Punishment apparatus is a wooden gantry with a stone boulder mounted on top, with the movement of a guillotine pounding down to the locked hands below)

Kim Hong Do awakes from his nightmare.

Kim Hong Do: No!!!!!!!

He looks round his surrounding to grasp back his breathing, he pours & takes a drink of water, only be shocked by the present of what looks like a paper guillotine or those stack cutter. I think it is a kitchen tool. He looks at the window, to find that it is day break, the focus his attention of the window which is being latched by a spoon, the dissolves to a tied hand, then back again to the spoon

Yi Jung Suk is bringing a tray to serve her brother Yi Yin Mun & Kim Hong Do, their breakfast

Yi Jung Suk: Please eat

Yi Yin Mun: Since your (Kim Hong Do’s) presence here, the quality of the dishes had resurrected from withers

Yi Jung Suk: Orrabunim, you are really!!!!

Yi Jung Suk runs off. Kim Hong Do looks on

Yi Yin Mun: Are you running away? How is it, it is like an imperial feast?

Kim Hong Do: Oh! Yes it is

Kim Hong Do didn’t showed much an appetite & have some worries written on his face

Yi Yin Mun: Have you made a decision yet? No matter what, there is only hope if you can go on living. Do eat well, then after, only give it some real thought on it. Don’t let one’s imagination run away from ones reality

Kim Hong Do turns around & calls Yi Jung Suk

King Hong Do: Jung Suk!

Yi Jung Suk runs out from the kitchen, happy that Kim Hong Do is calling her

Yi Jung Suk: Yes

Kim Hong Do: Can you not help me to run an errand for me?

Yi Jung Suk: What errand?

Gisaeng House, Jeong Hyang’s chambers

Shin Yun Bok is sleeping soundly as the room was left what it is since last night. She arouse from sleep & to find herself in a strange environment with a massive headache from hangover. Shin Yun Bok recalls what Jeong Hyang said to her

Jeong Hyang: Perhaps, what words he had spoken to Artist as such, may be a Teacher’s final hope

Jeong Hyang & her Servant is bringing a tray of food & walks to the door of the chambers

Jeong Hyang: Artist (Shin Yun Bok), if you are awakes, please have some breakfast

There is no answer & Jeong Hyang opens the door to find that the room is already tidy up, with a painting is being weight by a wine bottle

Servant: What has happened?

Jeong Hyang: I’m not sure

Jeong Hyang walks in & takes the bottle away to find the painting that Shin Yun Bok paint of her last night. It is her playing the gayageum. She holds it up, she studies it with appreciation then goes to read the poetry that accompany the painting

Poetry: Plumes pluck soaring endless, Strings snaps, music never decrease. It will never cease in slumber dream

Jeong Hyang is please with the painting

Shin Hang Pyeong’s room. He is contemplating as he watches out the window

Kim Hong Do: If it comes to this, the child who painted it may perhaps lost his right to use his hands

Shin Hang Pyeong: Does this mean I need to forsake the position of the being a member of the Royal Bureau of Painting

(A member of the Royal Bureau Painting had the right to use the King’s seal in his painting as an endorsement. This of course will put value to the painting)

Shin Yun Bok return to Dohwaseo, standing in the entrance to meet her doom. She enters. Meanwhile a eunuch is leading Kim Hong Do. He is holding a roll up scroll as he meets Jeongjo. The eunuch announce Kim Hong Do’s arrival

Eunuch: Chona! Artist Kim Hong Do wishes to meet your presence

Jeongjo: Enter

Eunuch: Yes

Kim Hong Do present Shin Yun Bok’s painting of Queen Dowager Jeong Sun to Jeongjo

Jeongjo: Is it today?

Kim Hong Do: Yes it is? This is the day the ritual ceremony ends, Dohwaseo will execute to carry out the punishment of the crushing of the hand

Jeongjo looking through the painting

Jeongjo: If time can stop, definitely would want & hope to keep this person at heart. This painting is clear & distinct, to bring about some share of feelings. Who is this person who drew this actually?

Kim Hong Do: Now at this moment, he is just one of the mere Dohwaseo’s apprentices

Jeongjo: Just mere apprentice?

Kim Hong Do: This apprentice from now & until the future will never be able to raise his brush to do another painting. His strokes are delicate beyond beauty. His movement of brush strokes is liquid, also leaves a feeling of endless painful suffering of miss & long for. Don’t you think it qualify to be a good painting

Jeongjo: This…heaven is not being fair

Kim Hong Do: Heaven is not being fair to those who are naturally gifted.

Jeongjo: However, as for the Queen Dowager to change her mind set, it is already too late

Jeongjo rolls up the painting

Kim Hong Do: Even if it is already too late, however…Shin (“I” as you address yourself in the present of the monarch as a subordinate or official) don’t want to give up on this apprentice

Jeongjo takes another look at the painting.

Jeongjo & Queen Jeong Sun meets each other with their entourage at the palace gardens

Jeongjo: May I ask what do you intend to do today. Today I will be going to the mountain to end the ritual ceremony

Queen Jeong Sun: Your “Hare me” (Grandmother) would want to finished off & end what I have been tracking down & arrest these past few days

Jeongjo looks at the smiling Queen Jeong Sun

(Queen Jeong Sun is more a political adversary rather than family to Jeongjo. Her family comes from the influential “Noh Ron” (Old Faction) who during the former King Yeongjo’s (Jeongjo’s grandfather) reign thrives in political favours. You may know from “Yi San”, they had a hand in the demise of Jeongjo’s father, Crown Prince Sado)

Punishment apparatus is being tested for execution, placing a dummy (a clay vase) as the other apprentices watch on the side lines as they went through testing trails

Guard: Pull….slowly,

It takes a few people to manage the contraption. The boulder is secure, with a single chop from an axe cuts the rope, the boulder release with heavy thud crushing to the base, as the apprentices looks away as the sound of the thud was loud & scare them. The boulder is raise to reveal that the vase is broken into many pieces. All of them came to take a closer look at the dummy. Shin Young Bok looks worried & leaves, as he goes to in, he sees Shin Yun Bok returning, she look dazed. He calls out for her

Shin Young Bok: Yun Bok! Yun Bok! Where did return from?

Shin Yun Bok doesn’t acknowledge his call as she just walks straight ahead. Shin Young Bok follows her out of curiosity.

Kim Hong Do pours tea into 2 cups. Shin Yun Bok is sitting in front of him

Kim Hong Do: Drink this.

Shin Yun Bok bows to thanked him & pick up the cup, hold it with her 2 hands & shivers

Kim Hong Do can see the shivers in her hands

Kim Hong Do: I wouldn’t think you would have return

Shin Yun Bok: Since it is I who drew it, I definitely will bare the responsibility

Kim Hong Do: The punishment of crushing of hands will begin immediately

Shin Yun Bok: Now what must I do?

Shin Yun Bok resign to her fate as Shin Young Bok over heard it from outside the door & is shocked

In the streets Kim Jo Nyun (correction from Kim Soo Nion) walking with his trusted sidekick Sasuke, give an analysis on what Kim Hong Do will do next

Kim Jo Nyun: No matter what, as to Dan Won, it doesn’t bring the slightest of advantage or benefits. Regardless, if it is his own hands or the hands of his beloved pupil. Dan Won wouldn’t be so easily will yield just like that. He will looks for other alternative tributaries, definitely. Is it really interesting? This is 2 gifted talent’s battle

Sasuke: Orrishin, it looks like you really well verse knowledge of these people.

Kim Jo Nyun: Is it? Just a touched on it briefly (laughs)

YI Jung Suk in front of a wine tavern. She is to run an errand for Kim Hong Do

Kim Hong Do: At noon, in the street market, you will see an apprentice making an appearance; you just help me to tell him this.

It is Shin Yun Bok entering the wine tavern

Yi Jung Suk: Excuse me, May I asked if Mr. Dan Won sent you to come here

Shin Yun Bok: Yes, it is, so….

Yi Jung Suk: It is good that you are here. Take this letter to & go below the Gwangdo Bridge & find a Mr. Gong

Shin Yun Bok: Er! Is that all it was said?

Yi Jung Suk: Yes, please be quick on your way, Orrabunim said that not to stall even for a moment notice.

Shin Yun Bok: Orrabunim?

Yi Jung Suk: Yes, our Dan Won Orrabunim

Shin Yun Bok: Ah! You are from Mr. Dan Won’s household

Yi Jung Suk: Household?

Yi Yun Suk is shy. It is also indicate that usually if you refer to household can means wife

Yi Jung Suk: No…no…I am not…yet. No matter what, Orrabunim asked to immediately make your journey. Please leave quickly

Shin Yun Bok: Yes, I know

Below Gwangdo Bridge, there was a man waiting with a saddle horse. He helped Shin Yun Bok to mounted on the horse

Man: Get on the horse, quickly

Shin Yun Bok: Mister? This…

Man: Come. Listen carefully Artist, when you reached Pyongyang, find a Mr. Gua. Do you understand?

Shin Yun Bok: Pyongyang’s Mr. Gua?

Man: Hold tight, this horse can gallop 1000 miles a day

The Man slaps the back of the horse to get it going go a gallop

Shin Yun Bok: Mister…..Arrgggh! This…..

Shin Yun Bok gallops away

Dohwaseo, Jang Byuk Soo’s room

Jang Byuk Soo: Have you found who the apprentice?

Kim Hong Do: I have found him

Jang Byuk Soo: You have. Fine. It is great that you have found him. No matter whether you have found him or not, today you definitely need to disable whose hand, isn’t that so?

Jang Byuk Soo is filling tobacco in his pipe

Kim Hong Do: It looks like you have a zest interest in this

Jang Byuk Soo laughing

Jang Byuk Soo: Of course, it is interesting. It is really interesting.

Kim Hong Do: Then who is he really?

Jang Byuk Soo: Now, can’t you really not flavour the taste? Whose hand should we disable? Or is it, to disable your very own hands

Kim Hong Do: It looks like you wouldn’t dampen your interest, I wouldn’t be worried. I am really grateful

Jang Byuk Soo just laughs

Ceremony ritual

Oracle: Kneel!!! Bow!!! Rise!!!!

All the governmental officials are doing the ritual

Oracle: Light the fire

Oracle passes the lighten torch to Jeongjo as he goes round the altar. Meanwhile Shin Yun Bok is galloping on the horse recalls

Kim Hong Do: Once the Punishment contraption is out, it needs to draw someone’s blood

Jeong Hyang: Perhaps he may want to safeguard Artist, by all means. Perhaps, what words he had spoken to Artist, as such, may be a Teacher’s final hope

Shin Yun Bok yield the horse to stop & gallops back

Fat Apprentice: Yun Bok? Is he in the latrine again?

Shin Young Bok: Eh! He said he will be out shortly

Jang Hyo Won: Last night he didn’t return, it looks like he is in the “Kei Wyol Ru” (name of Jeong Hyang’s chambers in gisaeng house) already had pawned his soul

Shin Young Bok: Kei Wyol Ru?

(Commentator 2, we will name him Thin Apprentice)

Thin Apprentice: Really, it means he is with the company of a woman, played (fun) to the extreme

Palace guards come in with the Yi Pan here to pass sentence for the punishment as the Yi Pan goes up to the podium to convey the decree

Ceremony Ritual is ending

Jeongjo: Now, what is “man made” is complete?

Queen Jeong Sun’s chambers. She is having hair ornaments fitted to her hair. She is ready

Queen Jeong Sun: Let’s go

Queen Jeong Sun leaves her chambers, obviously heading to Dohwaseo to witness the punishment

Meanwhile Jeongjo is having a close look at the Shin Yun Bok’s painting of Queen Jeong Sun. He studies it

Jeongjo: What are the Queen Dowager’s current activities?

Official: It is said that in centre courtyard of the Dohwaseo have already placed the Punishment of the crushing of the hand contraption

Jeongjo: Don’t want to give up on….

Jeongjo: Wait!!!!

Jeongjo focus on the mole behind the lady’s ear in the painting

Yi Pan: Do you know what this will lead to? If you can’t find the culprit, you need to take the punishment in its place. This is to say that your own hands the ones to be disable

Kim Hong Do: Yi Pan Orrishin (I should think he is the Minister of Arts). He is just a young apprentice who aspired to have an artist’s dreams. If Dohwaseo emerge this kind of painting, it is the fault of the apprentice, then didn’t give proper guidance to the apprentices is the fault of the Bureau Artist themselves. As the Senior of Dohwaseo, this punishment let me the one to be takes it. Please pass sentence to me

Everybody awaits his answer

Yi Pan: Do you want really to see both of them take the punishment? It is the final time I am asking you. Who is he?

Yi Pan slams the table loudly

Yi Pan: How dare you? Fine. Three of you will take the punishment together. Commence punishment

Shin Hang Pyeong: Yi Pan Orrishin!

Jang Byuk Soo: Decree punishment.

Jang Byuk Soo begins to write

Meanwhile Queen Jeong Sun with Jeongjo

Jeongjo: Ma Ma?

Jeongjo had over the decree punishment scroll

Jeongjo: Please look through it, to determine your decision on the matter

Queen Jeong Sun opens the scroll & looks at it. There is nervousness detected with Queen Jeong Sun. Jeongjo just looks at Queen Jeong Sun

The senior painters come out from the conference. Kim Hong Do goes & joins & kneeled beside Shin Yun Bok

Yi Pan: Attention everybody, now we announce the final findings for the punishment. Last year, Chusan Chona had decree to hold Ceremony ritual for the Heavens. Queen Dowager had decided during the Ceremony ritual to have found a Dohwaseo’s artist had draw Chun Hwa painting, summoned Artist Kim Hong Do to finds out who the person was. Now I will like to announce the final findings. We will punished the person who drew the painting to be executed by the punishment of crushing of the hand, will not commence & we have decided Artist Kim Hong Do’s failures to find the culprit & to be subjected to the punishment will also not commence. This is Queen Dowager & Chusan Chona’s benevolence & mercy

Everybody bows to accept the great gratitude

All: Thank you for granting your benevolence & vast kindness bestow upon us

Shin Yun Bok: Man Sei (Ten thousand years)

Shin Yun Bok is relieved that the punishment is of such leniency as to Kim Hong Do looks on

Jeongjo then confronts Queen Jeong Sun on the identity of the lady in the painting. Jeongjo had enclosed Shin Yun Bok’s painting of her (Queen Jeong Sun) in the decree

Jeongjo: I remember when I was young, when you 1st enter the palace, Hare Ma (Grandmother) had mentioned before, that you said that behind your ear, you had a prosperity mole, especially that one that is dotted a red mole that is under the ear, had brought you a wave of fortune. Isn’t that the one that represent the country’s fate & destiny is flourishing & thriving?

Queen Jeong Sun knows that the cat is out of the bag & Jeongjo had caught her red handed. Jeongjo walks toward the window. It is raining & outside is the punishment contraption

Jeongjo: Ma Ma, please come & have a look that the Heavens are also here giving sympathy to that Artists

(In the actual fact Queen Jeong Sun was the one to taint the Ceremony ritual by having a danger liaison with her monk lover during the period, only to have in painting by Shin Yun Bok. So she is the biggest hypocrite)

Kim Hong Do, Shin Young Bok, Shin Yun Bok & the rest realize that it is now raining. As the Yi Pan read further in to the decree & Shin Yun Bok is weeping in the rain

Yi Pan: However, during the ceremony ritual, it is a offence to draw Chun Hwa painting. Death penalty may be suspended but the punishment can’t be for go. I declare that the apprentice that drew the painting’s commence punishment, the offender, Shin….Young…. Bok

Shin Yun Bok is shocked that it is her brother Shin Young Bok should be called as the culprit

Yi Pan: Please come forward

Shin Young Bok goes up to take sentencing. Shin Hang Pyeong is shocked

Yi Pan: Offender, Shin Young Bok, you are forever forbidden to participate in Dohwaseo’s activities as an Artist, also sent to exile to Danchongsuo to mix ingredients for the rest of your life

Shin Young Bok bow to acknowledgement of his sentence. Shin Yun Bok screams for her brother

Shin Yun Bok: Hyung!!!!!

Outside Dohwaseo as Shin Yun Bok & Shin Hang Pyeong sees Shin Young Bok off to exile. Shin Young Bok gives a package to Shin Yun Bok

Shin Young Bok: These brushes need to be clean everyday. It should be dry in the air that is cooled shaded. It may be slightly bothersome. Shin Yun Bok just look at her elder brother

Shin Young Bok: I am getting long winded

Shin Young Bok takes Shin Yun Bok’s hands to hand the box of brushes to her

Shin Young Bok: I’m off

Shin Young Bok turns to his father

Shin Young Bok: Abuji. I am on my way

Shin Young Bok bows to his father as Shin Hang Pyeong acknowledge with a nod. Shin Yun Bok stops Shin Young Bok

Shin Yun Bok: No you can’t. Now it is not too late. We will go & see Pil Chul Orrishin

Shin Young Bok: This is my choice

Shin Yun Bok: Why? Why should you bear the responsibilities of the Chun Hwa’s notorious furies?

Shin Young Bok: It is not because of you. It is also not because for me

Shin Yun Bok was already in tears & her voice is already hoarse

Shin Yun Bok: Then, what it is because for? Why should Hyung do this? Please say something, Abuji. Yes?

Shin Hang Pyeong can only give a grunt

Shin Young Bok: It is not like that

Shin Young Bok hold on Shin Yun Bok’s shoulder to assure her

Shin Young Bok: The natural talents that are bestow upon you that is different from others, is for me that something that I even dare not wish to have.

Shin Yun Bok: Hyung, if you leave now, you are never going to come back

Shin Yun Bok is emotionally choked

Shin Young Bok: So do this is because for me, just for me, to definitely need to become the most outstanding Artist

Shin Young Bok boldly walks away as Shin Hang Pyeong pulls Shin Yun Bok back

Shin Yun Bok: Hyung! Hyung! Please let me go

Shin Hang Pyeong: Are you crazy? To draw such a painting, created chaos at Dohwaseo, you need to have a clear head, are you sober?

Shin Yun Bok: So that is why I need to bare the responsibility? I need to….

Shin Hang Pyeong slaps Shin Yun Bok

Shin Hang Pyeong: It looks like you have yet to have a clear head. You not only you need to be a Royal Bureau (Oh Jin” Artist (Oh Jin – It is the Artist who draw the King’s portrait) but need to be a “Cha Bi Dae Rong” Artist. (Cha Bi Dae Rong is an Artist who could you the King’s seal for his painting) This only you can repay back your brother, do you understand?

Shin Yun Bok: I don’t understand & I am not willing to

Shin Yun Bok drops the box of brushes & runs off

(Moon Geun Young’s great performance as in the emotional as it became, she maintain her tone of voice very well)

Wine tavern, Kim Hong Do is having a drink & contemplating on what happened. Earlier at Dohwaseo, Shin Young Bok had came to beg on behalf of Shin Yun Bok. Shin Young Bok begging earnestly for Kim Hong Do for help

Shin Young Bok: Please I beg of you, Teacher! I beg of you, Teacher! I beg of you, Teacher!

Kim Hong Do: Do you are really willing to forsake your very own hands for your younger brother

Shin Young Bok falls on his knees

Shin Young Bok: Please save my younger brother, Teacher. I beg of you to save my younger brother, Teacher. Please save him, Teacher. Just take my hands

Kim Hong Do looks at Shin Young Bok’s as well as his as he crunch a piece of paper

Shin Young Bok: Please…Teacher, just take my hand, Teacher

Kim Hong Do about to take his bottle of wine when it get snatch by Shin Yun Bok who is clearly upset

Shin Yun Bok: The person who drew the painting, is me

Kim Hong Do takes the bottle of wine back

Kim Hong Do: I know of it

Shin Yun Bok: Then, why are you so aloof & indifferent

Shin Yun Bok kneel before Kim Hong Do to beg & crying

Shin Yun Bok: Teacher, now we should go to Dohwaseo to say the truth about the whole thing.

Kim Hong Do: Your Hyung because of you, had to go to Danchongsuo (it is department that handle ingredients for Dohwaseo). It is because of you.

Shin Yun Bok: I still can’t comprehend. What is so wronged about that piece of painting? It needs to crush a hand for it & also sent to exile from the capital. What is it, actually?

Kim Hong Do drinks a shot & takes a chopstick to have some dish

Kim Hong Do: Dohwaseo is that type of place

Shin Yun Bok holds on to Kim Hong Do’s arm

Shin Yun Bok: Please I beg of you to save my elder brother, it is I who had done wrong. Let me get sent in to exile

Kim Hong Do grips Shin Yun Bok’s hand

Kim Hong Do: Have you seen this hand yet? Have you seen it yet? Your Hyung because of you was willing to forsake his own hand. Have you ever, shows a slight understanding & sympathy for your Hyung’s sincerity? It is because of your drawing skills is a race against time that makes every minute & second counts. Value time as gold

Shin Yun Bok gets away from Kim Hong Do’s grips & runs away & running into the busy streets as she runs & knocks a few people over, recalls what Shin Young Bok said to her

Shin Young Bok: The natural talents that are bestow upon you that is different from other, as the likes of me I have never dare to wish for, for the gods to have it bestows this gifts.

Shin Yun Bok already ran out the perimeters of the city into the woodlands where she trips & falls on to the ground. She gets up & starts running, recalls what Kim Hong Do said

Kim Hong Do: Value time as gold to able to draw. Do you want your Hyung’s sacrifice to go to waste?

She goes to a huge tree where there are stone stack mounts. (It may be for religious purpose or Shaman practices. It is just convenient that it is there)

Shin Yun Bok: What is painting, what is reckoned for? What is painting?

Shin Yun Bok sweeps through the stone stack mounts

Shin Yun Bok: What is Hyung figuring? Figuring what? Reckoning what?

Shin Yun Bok throwing tantrums with the stones

Shin Yun Bok: What it has been this way? What is painting suppose to be? I don’t want anything. I don’t want any of it. I don’t want it. I don’t want it!!!!!!

Shin Yun Bok mows down the stack of stone mount

Shin Yun Bok: Just leave alone

By this time all the yelling, Shin Yun Bok had already lost most of her voice. She then picks a large stone & was about to throw it when she realize how sharp this stone edge was, she looks at her placed hand

Dohwaseo, Shin Hang Pyeong is contemplating in his room

Shin Hang Pyeong: Finally only left this only child, also that child’s hand. Fine! This is enough

Shin Yun Bok sobbing with stone in her left hand ready to strike on her right hand

Wine tavern Kim Hong Do was already so drunk to be able to walk straight, topple onto other customer’s table. Yi Yin Mun is trying to help him up

Yi Yin Mun: Please be careful. What has happened here? Quickly

Kim Hong Do holding at Yi Yin Mun’s hand

Kim Hong Do: Ah! Here is the hand (laughs) No matter what it is said, I did save that little brat’s hand

Yi Yin Mun: Aigoo, let’s leave…let’s go

Shin Yun Bok seeing her hand & giving some thought then mercilessly strike the stone onto her hand out of her emotional pain. She gave a loud screams

Gisaeng house.

Jeong Hyang is walking with her servant as usual after a performance, when her Servant spotted a semi conscious Shin Yun Bok. Jeong Hyang curious approaches & calls her

Jeong Hyang: Artist? (Hwa Gun)

Shin Yun Bok turns around but only to lost consciousness & collapse. Jeong Hyang goes & picks her up

Jeong Hyang: Artist? (Hwa Gun)

Shin Yun Bok has already lost consciousness & Jeong Hyang sees the severely injured hand of Shin Yun Bok

Jeong Hyang: What on earth….Artist (Hwa Gun)?

Jeong Hyang is trying to call Shin Yun Bok to regain consciousness. Shin Yun Bok indeed opens her eyes to have a glance & smiles at her to be in the arms of Jeong Hyang by her side

Jeong Hyang: Artist! (Hwa Gun!!)

Shin Yun Bok: You are still as ever beautiful

Shin Yun Bok relapse to unconsciousness

Jeong Hyang: Artist! (Hwa Gun)

Jeong Hyang tells her Servant

Jeong Hyang: Quickly go & find a physician

Servant: Yes

Jeong Hyang: Hurry!!!!! Artist!!! (Hwa Gun) as she sees Shin Yun Bok’s injured hand. Artist!!!! Artist!!!!

Jeong Hyang trying her best to get Shin Yun Bok to regain consciousness but doesn’t

Jeong Hyang’s chambers. Jeong Hyang is nursing the injured Shin Yun Bok as she puts a cool towel on her forehead. It could be that Shin Yun Bok is running a fever & is delirious. Shin Yun Bok had her hand bandage (but I don’t think it is done professionally) as she moans & cries

Shin Yun Bok: It is…..is me…..Hyung….don’t leave…no…no…it is not Hyung

Jeong Hyang feels pain for her suffering. Her Servant enters

Jeong Hyang: Where is the physician? He said he doesn’t enter a Gisaeng house. Have you gone to the other few pharmacy to try?

Servant: Yes, all I have went

Shin Yun Bok delirious holding her hands high up as Jeong Hyang hold to Shin Yun Bok’s bandaged hand

Shin Yun Bok: Hyung!

In the morning, Jeong Hyang walks in to Dohwaseo to the amazement of the apprentices who by now already in shocked & gapping with their mouth open like fishes, even Yi Yin Mun sees Jeong Hyang stroll by drop his paper. Meanwhile Shin Yun Bok in Jeong Hyang’s chamber looking at her bandage injured hand & tries to bend her hand but couldn’t. By now her hand had already hematoma & had already cause massive swelling in her fingers. She looks at the brushes & tries to reach it to hold then sweep away the brushes to the floor only to aggravate more pain to her injured hand as she scream with immense pain & the painting tools are scatter over the floor

Kim Gui Joo, Jang Byuk Soo, Jo Young Jung are having a meeting at the Gisaeng house

Kim Gui Joo: Now slowly the matter at Dohwaseo had already ended. Now we need to get rid of Dan Won, then the world will be at peace

Jo Young Jung nodded

Jang Byuk Soo: Now he doesn’t no longer had the reason to remain at Dohwaseo, let us send him warmly off

Jo Young Jung: We need to handle this properly. What if he stayed in Han yang, then goes on to dig up on other matters, it will more harm than good, are you listening?

Jang Byuk Soo: In a few days I will chased him away. He is just a locust (pest). He can’t escape from the palm of our hands (grip)

Everybody laughing with confidence as they drink

Uigembu. Kim Hong Do reading through a book in the library. It is a report on the death of Seo Jing.

Kim Hong Do: (reads) The year is Kyung Su, April the 24th. Artist Seo Jing is murdered. Uigembu had ruled it as murdered due his attitude that he is eccentric & arrogant that he was probably killed by his enemies.

Kim Hong Do is curious

Kim Hong Do: What is it?

Thin Apprentice: It Jeong Hyang…Mr. Dan Won

Apprentice scramble for cover when they knew it was Kim Hong Do. Kim Hong Do enters the room where Jeong Hyang is standing nervously with her Servant

Kim Hong Do: Who is she?

The apprentice didn’t give any answer

Kim Hong Do: Wah! What performance is this is? Does Han yang Gisaeng don’t really need herself? Wah! This is really weird. Aren’t you all (apprentices) leaving now?

The apprentice leaves as Kim Hong Do look strangely at the presence of Jeong Hyang in his study. Jeong Hyang bows to greet him. Kim Hong Do is taken by surprise visit

Jeong Hyang: Mr. Dan Won, please save him. Artist, the young Artist can’t give up on painting just like that

Kim Hong Do: The young Artist how in what way is he going gives up on painting?

Jeong Hyang: He uses a stone to crush his own hand

Kim Hong Do: What?

Kim Hong Do then fast pace walk to the Gisaeng house follow by Jeong Hyang & her Servant. As Kim Hong Do opens the door to the chamber, he sees Shin Yun Bok under the cover, sleeping. He draws the cover. Shin Yun Bok then awakes as Kim Hong Do takes a look at her injured hand. Shin Yun Bok turn around in a dazed

Kim Hong Do: It looks like you completely crush your hand

Kim Hong Do drop back her injured hand at her

Shin Yun Bok: Why have you come?

Kim Hong Do: You have done well. You have done well to be like an idiot, like a blind man

Shin Yun Bok: I don’t care about the existence of what is Dohwaseo, please leave

Kim Hong Do: Come, get up quickly. Firstly go & take a look at that hand. Get up!!!

Shin Yun Bok flings Kim Hong Do away as Kim Hong Do tries to get her up

Shin Yun Bok: What are you doing? I don’t need any, please leave. Leave!!!! Leave me alone!!!!

Kim Hong Do: You are really nagging

Kim Hong Do tries to pick Shin Yun Bok up as they tussle

Shin Yun Bok: Let me go!!!!

Kim Hong Do: Get up!!!!!

Shin Yun Bok: Let me go!!!!

Shin Yun Bok struggling & screaming. Jeong Hyang comes in

Jeong Hyang: Yesterday, late in the night, I discovered him. I wanted to called the physician but the physician said that they will not enter the gisaeng house

Kim Hong Do: Get up!!!!! Get up!!!!!

Kim Hong Do picks & carries her up as the struggle had already left her in great pain. Kim Hong Do barges out of the chambers

Then Kim Hong Do is a fireman carry Shin Yun Bok in the forest

Kim Hong Do: You little brat that doesn’t know how to carry out instructions. Aigoo! You are really blind? Once we pass this mountain ridge, there is a very excellent physician. Let us go there & treat you injuries

Shin Yun Bok: Treat it for what? Anyhow I don’t want to ever draw again

Kim Hong Do: Look at you talking there. The natural talents that are bestow upon you that is different from other, need to show some gratitude. You are really nagging. Just shut the mouth of yours. You are getting heavier

Shin Yun Bok: What should I be grateful for? Dohwaseo is saying that I am drawing Chun Hwa painting. Teacher because of me nearly lost his hands for my fault. My only elder brother because of me was force to go to Danchongsuo. What does he want me to repay him back?

Kim Hong Do smack Shin Yun Bok’s buttock:

Kim Hong Do: You really want a beating don’t you, because of your hand, your Hyung is forever rotting in Danchongsuo, isn’t that worth any price to it?

Shin Yun Bok: Wouldn’t it be just fine that I just chop off my hand. Let me down, please

Kim Hong Do: Is it, I know?

Kim Hong Do goes to a water fall then throws Shin Yun Bok in to the water with a splash. Shin Yun Bok struggles in the water to keep a float. (It looks like the same waterfall that Kim Hong Do was in, in the tiger’s episode)

Kim Hong Do: Is it very cooling?

Shin Yun Bok struggling

Kim Hong Do: You are really an idiot

Kim Hong Do walks to sit down on a rock as Shin Yun Bok struggles in the water

Kim Hong Do: Aigoo! Aigoo! Nice weather

Shin Yun Bok still struggling to keep afloat

Kim Hong Do: You want to chop it off, then go & chop it off. Chop off your hands & legs as well. Your Hyung although because of you went to Danchongsuo, your Hyung is really very pitiful. You also damage my “heukrip” (Gat. It is a Korean man head dress). This is really on your good fortune

Shin Yun Bok then really started to disappear from the water, badly could able to see her hand as it sink down. Kim Hong Do goes to the water

Kim Hong Do: Hey! Kid!

In the water almost drowning, she sees Kim Hong Do at the surface then looks at her hands as she slips to a slumber & sinks in deeper into the depth of the water
