Painter of the Wind Episode 13 – Life & Death
Jeongjo’s chambers. Kim Hong Do kneeling before Jeongjo with his bandage right hand from the injuries he sustained. Jeongjo looks on at the kneeling Kim Hong Do
Jeongjo: An Artist can so unexpectedly takes his own hand for granted
Kim Hong Do: Chona, your humble servant wishes to inform something to you, please don’t drag me out of here just yet before then
Jeongjo: Why do you really actually the reason that makes you needs to do this?
Kim Hong Do: Shin Yun Bok’s Hyung Shin Young Bok, for the sake in created & produced the colour ingredient for your imperial robes for your portrait painting, had died from the poisonous side effect from the colour ingredient process
Jeongjo: What are you saying?
Kim Hong Do: The day before we were to apply the colours, we had prior affirms all the colour ingredients, however on the day itself, the colours ingredient “Chu Sal” had all completely turned dark. I then discover that the “Chu Sal” had been contaminated by silver powder. This is to say & proof the fact that from the start that there is someone had purposely did it as such to prevent the Royal Imperial Portrait Painting (Oh Ji) from completing. Then the both of us, Shin Yun Bok & I, for the real conviction of completing wholeheartedly this Royal Imperial Portrait Painting, we went to ask Shin Young Bok to produce the colour ingredient for us. When the Court Ministers were debating & finding faults on the colour ingredient, because they were insulting & humiliating the creation of the colour ingredient that had resulted in the death of his pitiful older brother. He couldn’t endure any longer that situation of his anger & wrath
Jeongjo: For that reason only, no matter what I can’t find nor comprehend his behaviour, why did he ruin & damage the Royal Imperial Portrait Painting in that single stroke. As for me to say, that piece of painting, the significant meaning to it is not just casual passing
Kim Hong Do: As for us to say, Shin Yun Bok & I, the crime of damaging & ruined the Royal Imperial Portrait Painting, it will not relinquish even after a 100 deaths, but as towards Shin Yun Bok, this is not just a mere Royal Imperial Portrait Painting but to entrust sustenance of a person spirit & soul. This is why he ruined it. I beg for your gracious mercy to forgive & to spare the youngster’s life

Jeong Hyang: Didn’t you see the bird cage?
Kim Jo Nyun: Is it really that you have forgotten that person who is in your heart?
Jeong Hyun: As the same with when the sound of the gayageum floats upwards in the air, it will self disappear; it is because I will never see that person again. My heart can only float upwards

Kim Jo Nyun laughs
Kim Jo Nyun: I will treat this as you are giving compliments to me
Jeong Hyang: Really! The Artist who together with Mr. Dan Won who carry out & executed the duties as Royal Imperial Portrait Painting Artist (Oh Ji Hwa Sa)
Kim Jo Nyun: Hmmm! Is he the person who going to be executed?
