In the palace. Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok kneeling before Jeongjo
Kim Hong Do: Are you looking for us, Chona?
Jeongjo: The King who although preside above the ten thousand, but unable to even safe guard the Artists who are beside me. It is really sadden me
Kim Hong Do: Chona! We have committed a grave offence that can’t be washed away. Chona’s benevolence & gracious mercy, we will remember this until our death
Jeongjo: Youngster Artist, I have heard that because of this matter you had finally left Dohwaseo.
Shin Yun Bok: Yes….Chona.
Jeongjo: Yes it is, Dohwaseo can able to only accommodate this much patience, for this youngster Artist such this kind of vivid & lively painting that bring heartfelt & vibrate people’s heart. It may be permit to have left Dohwaseo & to enter into the world, that you are able to explore greater of your Artistic potential
Shin Yun Bok: Chona, I am the person had committed a serious crime who had ruined & damage the Royal Imperial Portrait painting, why are you render me with such praises for my talents?
Jeongjo: What do you think why does the Teacher cherish his pupil’s life more than his that he even forsake himself? It is to cherish & value his pupil’s talent. He was willing to sacrifice his right hand that is his life for your talents. This is Kim Hong Do’s sincerity & I the reason for the change my heart’s decision
Kim Hong Do: Thank you for your gracious grace, Chona
Jeongjo: Now in front of me are both of you who had deeply rooted relationship & friendship. Until now I have l ask of those paintings for you are all beautiful & well done
Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do: Thank you for your gracious grace, Chona.
Jeongjo: Both of you Artists, please come closer
Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do looks at Jeongjo
Jeongjo: Today, I have a request for both Artists to help me to do, so that is why I have summoned you
Kim Hong Do looks at Shin Yun Bok
Jeongjo: Don’t fear, come closer
Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do comes closer to Jeongjo
Jeongjo: Both of you should be all too well verse in the significance meaning of the Royal Imperial Portrait Painting. I want you to find for me the Royal Imperial Portrait Painting (Ye Jin) of Crown prince Sado who is now went missing in the year of Byeong Jin (1766)
Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do listens Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong is surprise at the request as they raise their head & looks at each other. Now it looks like Jeongjo wants them to play Detectives
Kim Hong Do: Chona! As far as to my knowledge during the year of Byeong Jin there is no such Royal Imperial Portrait painting exist that had been carry out
Jeongjo: It is the people who fear the truth that had concealed to hide this. In reality & truth, there is such a Royal Imperial Portrait Painting that does exist & affirm
Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do looks on Jeongjo’s serious declaration
(I will like to comment that the scriptwriter Lee Eun Young mixed up her Sexagenary cycle calendar. The Year is 1776 -Jeongyu which is 34th year of the 60 years cycle. The year Byeong Jin is the 53rd year of the 60 years cycle which was supposed to be the year 1766. I have check with the Korean subtitles. It is high unlikely that the difference of minus of 10 years, it should be +20 years. There is also the mentioned of the Sexagenary year that Crown Prince Sado dies which is the year Imo. This is a technical error)
Kim Hong Do: If it is the year of Byeong Jin, it is about the past 10 years. Crown Prince Sado passed away in the year of Imo. It should had been past 14 years
(Imo is the19th year of the 60 years cycle. Crown Prince Sado dies in 1762).
Jeongjo: 10 years ago, the former King was having deep regrets on what happen in that year of Imo. He was preparing for my father to return to the road of Divinity. Hare Ba Ma Ma (Yeongjo) decree the highest accomplished Bureau Artist at that time to draw my father Crown Prince Sado “Ye Jin” Royal Imperial Portrait Painting – Chu Sa. But before Hare Ba ma Man could have the possession of the Portrait Painting. The Artists have all met with their death, murdered by conspirators
(Chu Sa is a portrait painting when the subject principal is already decease)
Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok finds similarity in the story that Jeongjo is telling. Kim Hong Do recalls his Teacher Kang Soo Hang being suffocated in his sleep. Shin Yun Bok recalls her father Seo Jing brutally killed & falls to the ground
Jeongjo: I have feel that I need to have this matter to be resolve. I need to definitely need both of your resources & your skill in this matter. Both of you have already drawn the Royal Imperial Portrait Painting. Both of you are the most accomplished Artist that will have the ability to drawn a Chu Sa. Therefore, I will command a decree to both of you. Royal Imperial Portrait Painting is the one & only traces that able to retain my father existences. You must help me find that “Ye Jin” for me. Nowadays in the midst of my memories of my father is rather blurred. If time were to pass, it will be permitted be thoroughly to be lost forever in oblivion. Therefore I beg you, both of you definitely need to resurrect my father’s glory & honour
Shin Yun Bok & Kim Hong Do: Yes, we will adhered your decree

(Muja is the 25th year of the 60 years cycle)
Shin Yun Bok now notices the clues that her father had mentioned to her as she subconsciously looks around the library with the clues falling in its place. Shin Yun Bok goes according to the clues that her father left & retrieves the paintings in the setting on the shelves. Kim Hong Do comes to look. Shin Young Bok unrolls the 2 paintings. One is a painting of cranes with a red crimson sun, the other is a landscape painting. She examines & wonders the painting as Kim Hong Do comes along
Kim Hong Do: What is this?
Shin Yun Bok: Ah?
Kim Hong Do: Where did you find these painting from?
Shin Yun Bok: I just retrieve these paintings at passing random
Kim Hong Do tries to make sense of the painting
Kim Hong Do: The pine forest with 2 cranes. Then what is this? Why would this place would had store such an interior art works. This we will have to wait for a next time to come & have a look, What I have ask you to recorded down, have you done that?
Shin Yun Bok: Ah! Yes, Teacher
Kim Hong Do: Firstly we should go look for the Teacher’s son
Kim Hong Do leaves as Shin Yun Bok looks at the paintings
Kim Hong Do with Shin Yun Bok arrives at Kang Soo Hang’s son house
Shin Yun Bok: Teacher, Can we just come here unannounced, without an invitation to come & look for things, isn’t that possible?
Kim Hong Do: What is there to announce? Although it is too say that we had not meet for a long time, however they will be able to recognise me. Open the gates!!!
Shin Yun Bok smiles. Kang Yu Won, eldest son of Kang Soo Hang comes out to see the guests
Kang Yu Won: Who are you?
Shin Yun Bok looks at Kim Hong Do as judging by the looks Kang Yu Won doesn’t recognise Kim Hong Do
Kim Hong Do: Ha! Ha! It is I…It is I…Don’t you recognise me? It only been several years, wouldn’t that you have forgotten who I am?
Kang Yu Won doesn’t look all welcoming on their visit
Kang Yu Won: Ah! What is your purpose of your visit here?
Kim Hong Do: I came to admire some of Teacher’s paintings
Kang Yu Won: Actually we have returns all the Art Works to father
(If you returns things back to the dead, it is usually means that they have burned the items for them to received in the netherworld)
Kim Hong Do: What are you saying? What? How can you return it to your father?
Kang Yu Won: We burned them
Kim Hong Do is surprise & shocked
Kim Hong Do: Burned! You are saying all the whole Arts Works
Kang Yu Won: When he was alive he so favours the Arts, we should return back to him
Shin Yun Bok: Then all the paintings that he did before his death; will there be any left behind?
Kang Yu Won: When my father draws, he doesn’t allow or permit people to come close. I don’t really know or have any knowledge what my father draws what kind of painting
Kim Hong Do: This person really now….how can you burned Teacher’s lifetime of Art works? Do you know what you are doing?
Kang Yu Won: Can’t say. But it is because you are my father’s pupil, it is why I open the gates. It looks like it has been a wasted effort for you to have come. Tul Se! Come over, these Artist are about to leave. Please sent them to the gate

Kang Yu Won: You all should leave. Don’t come here & make trouble & nuisances. Tul Se!
Kim Hong Do: Since you were young you were a kind of loafer. Now it looks like you are beyond any cure. This is really a detestable brat. Let’s go
Kim Hong Do leaves as Shin Yun Bok about to leave
Kang Yu Won: This is just a Hwa Jang (Painter). He is doing things without any measurement of consideration
Shin Yun Bok: Hwa Jang (Painter)? Do you really look down on us Hwa Jang (Painter)? Your father who had past away for 10 years. A Teacher, is only remember as a Hwa Jang (Painter). You as his son, you are now dishonouring your own father. The heart of the Hwa Jang (Painter), if the piece of painting can be vivid & lively, then that person gets to live in this world
Kang Yu Won: If there isn’t any more the matter. Please leave
Shin Yun Bok leaves
Kang Yu Won: Sprinkle some salt

Jo Young Jung: Hmmm!
Chawaseo Painter 1 & Shin Yun Bok walking on the street market
Chawaseo Painter 1: Can you tell me more of the stories of what happened at the banquet yesterday? How is that Jang Hyang? I heard she is very excellent & matchless beauty. We are here for half a month & yet we haven’t seen her. It is your fortunes that you are able to see her so soon
Shin Yun Bok stop by a store & pick up a magnify glass & looks through it like Sherlock Holmes
Chawaseo Painter 1: Ah! What is this use for? Why do you want the use of that?
Shin Yun Bok: How much is this?
Kim Hong Do’s lodging. Shin Yun Bok using the magnify glass to look & examine closely at the parchment that the old man servant gave
Shin Yun Bok: Bamboo trees!
Shin Yun Bok looks at Kim Hong Do who staring at her as he had something to say as Shin Yun Bok tries to avoid the direct contact & question
Kim Hong Do: Why such this an important matter without prior discussing this a single word with me & solely make the decision by yourself?
Shin Yun Bok still looking at the parchment with a magnify glass avoiding his question
Shin Yun Bok: Bamboo trees!
Kim Hong Do: What is that thing?
Shin Yun Bok: I purchase this to give it to you, Teacher
Kim Hong Do: When did I….take that away & put in down
Shin Yun Bok still at the magnify glass looking for clues
Shin Yun Bok: You can see very clearly & well with this…Oh!…..Bamboo Trees. Ah! Teacher! Do you think that the clues may be hidden some will of testimony in a bamboo forest?
Kim Hong Do: What are you saying there? Joseon with 8 provinces have so many bamboo forests, that you only think it is just merely 1 or 2. Are you saying if we to find a bamboo pole, is that a clues of will of testimony?
Shin Yun Bok: You may be right
Shin Yun Bok continues with her magnify glass examination
Kim Hong Do: Right! By the way, why Kim Myung Nyun Daegam was there last night

Kim Hong Do: It looks like he must doing some business transaction that require to sent supplies to the palace
Shin Yun Bok: Ah! Didn’t he mention that Teacher’s Teacher drew his portrait?
Kim Hong Do: I had also heard that too. My Teacher must have really drew some lot of portraits.
Kim Hong Do realise something
Kim Hong Do: But there is something strange about it?
Shin Yun Bok: What are you referring to?
Kim Hong Do: Chusan Chona had said that Teacher had met his death on the midst on doing the Ye Jin Royal Portrait painting of his late father the Crown Prince Sado. Is that to say that while Teacher was doing the Ye Jin Royal Portrait painting, did Teacher by any chance have done other Portraits as well
Shin Yun Bok: Yes….it can be have some truth to that
Kim Hong Do: When is Kim Myung Nyung Daegun be returning?
Shin Yun Bok: I don’t know when he is returning, but I need to mount a scroll & delivered to him to his residences
Kim Hong Do: Is it?
Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok comes to Kim Myung Nyun’s house & Kim Hong Do bumps into the Young Master of the Manor without any facial expression – stone face
Kim Hong Do: Why wrong with the child so expressionless idle that doesn’t utter a single sound?
Kim Hong Do & Shin Yun Bok goes in. Shin Yun Bok presented the painting of “Resounding Geomungo, An evening by the lotus pond” to Kim Myung Nyung

To Korean public: you should protect your talented people!!!
Moon Geun Young is a cute and talented actress. She has a good heart too, she donates a lot of money for charities
However, there is a rumor about Moon’s charities. the Korean public is terrible!!!
Why there is always bad rumor for all of the actress and actors in Korean. The rumors are terrible, which kill so many people such as Choi Jin Sil.
There should be some law or some act to protect for them, they are just human being anyways, why they have to stand too many bad rumors around their lives and get stressed , depressed and suicide
The Korean government should protect their reputations as well as doing something to get respectability for the celebrities, otherwise so many innocent people will die
