Saimdang, Light's Diary
This is a genuine An Gyeon painting that has surfaced after 500 years. You try writing it.
Thank you so much!
Your husband's business is thriving, our Eun Soo won the first place in the competition.
If I even have a professor daughter-in-law, I'd have nothing more to ask for.
Does it make sense to have a financial supervisory service audit all of a sudden?
CEO, something is wrong with the IT stock. It's plummeting!
Please take mother and Eun Soo and hide somewhere for now. I'll get in touch with you again.
In a situation like this, what good is being a professor or attending a conference in Italy?
What's the use?
In times like this, you need to get your head together. Go and go an excellent job and come back.
This time, I will definitely be appointed no matter what.
You know that the entire industry is paying attention to the Mount Geumgang Painting, don't you?
We should both have a win-win, right?
You could become a Minister of Culture, Chief Curator.
If you look at the Mount Geumgang Painting, the style of calligraphy seems similar,
but you don't see An Gyeon's unique technique of drawing dotted lines with a thin brush.
Let me ask Instructor Seo Ji Yoon.
Are you confident that this is a genuine work of An Gyeon, without a doubt in your heart?
But I'm not getting the feeling.
The brush strokes and the lines of ink feel rather heavy.
Something isn't quite right with the silk, either.
Maple tree.. Maple tree...
The time period doesn't match up with An Gyeon's paintings.
I... am not sure.
Ji Yoon faces a crisis due to being involved in the Mount Geumgang Painting forgery scandal
See? She says it's not!
That arrogant bitch!
You will be responsible, Professor Min.
I know you. I saw you on YouTube.
I... am not sure.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Are you guys really assistant professors?! You can't even take care of that one thing?!
Change your major when I ask you nicely.
Don't ever show up in front of me again.
I will step on you so firmly so that you can never come near this field again.
You got fired from the research lab, and all your hourly lectures have been canceled.
How could he do this to me!
- The crazy Korean woman! - I was wrong.
Mount Geumgang Painting. It looks like it's at least a few hundred years old.
This book was discovered in a centuries-old mansion in Bologna.
If this story is about An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang painting,
there may be a clue about the Mount Geumgang Painting's authenticity.
The story about An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang painting comes out right in the beginning.
My name is Gyeom, Yi Gyeom. What's your name?
- Saimdang - Saimdang?
Near Baek Ryeong Island--
Where am I?
You suffered from a cold for a few days and are you seeing things now?
Did you have a good trip?
An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang painting?
- Professional researchers need to work on it. - Try reading it.
The day when we were going to pack our things at North Pyeong Village...
For over 20 years, he had never come to North Pyeong Village.
And why does he have to come on the day Her Ladyship comes and encounter her?
Sir Sin's daughter became a Deoksoo Lee's wife. (The Doeksoo Lee's were a prominent clan in the Joseon era.)
She bore many children.
Saimdang, Light's Diary
Episode 3
- Here. Be careful. - Yes.
Here.
Even though it's a mountain range that I see every day, it always looks different
depending on how I feel and how the weather is...
And depending on with whom I come.
How much more beautiful would those famous attractions of the eight provinces,
that are known to be as beautiful as silk and jewelry, be?
I wish I was the wind.
Wind?
It can go anywhere it wants, while directly passing by all that wondrous scenery.
From north to south; from east to west; wherever it wants.
Saimdang, are you saying that it doesn't matter to you that you can leave me whenever you want?
Pardon? What's with that weird logic?
What do you mean, "the wind"? This, this! I've been meeting a really dangerous woman!
Prince Eui Seong...
This won't do.
- Let's go! - Pardon?
After getting married to me, let's go together.
You can never go alone! No, you cannot never go with anyone else!
You can only go with me.
Let's draw snow covered Mount Seorak,
and camellia flowers in full bloom in the Southern Provinces.
Let's also draw stars falling on the foot of Odap Mountain.
Let's live like that. Us.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Mount Geumgang.
At the least, I will certainly go to Mount Geumgang.
Before I die, I would like to climb up Birobong (the summit of Geumgang) and personally look at the scenery.
That mere Mount Geumgang? Why should you wait until right before you die?
Fine! Let's go there first.
While we are at it, let's visit the entire Gwandong area.
- You promise? - Yes, I promise.
Let's definitely go to Mount Geumgang together.
Yes, that's right, Mount Geumgang!
Isn't Mount Geumgang right over there?
Just wait!
Yi Gyeom that's written in here is... perhaps, that Yi Gyeom who drew Mogyeondo (Painting of a mother dog and 3 puppies)?!
Yi Gyeom and Sin Saimdang lived in about the same period.
It's definitely a possibility.
So what you are saying is that they are each other's tender first love? Is that it?
It looks like about a 400 to 500-year-old authentic ancient book.
- Read through the next page. - Okay.
After requesting of His Majesty and getting a rejection for a written marriage proposal letter, Prince Eui Seong
ended up writing the marriage proposal letter himself and came to visit the father.
Four Pillars of horoscopic data of bride and groom based on their birth dates/time.
Sin Myeong Hwa - Saimdang's father
Is it proper for a person to bring his own marriage proposal letter?
You know, Lord Sin, I don't have a father or grandfather
who can write a marriage proposal letter.
That's why I had requested it of His Majesty,
however, he said it is not proper for the king of a country to write a personal marriage letter,
and rejected my request.
So I had no choice but to write it myself.
Although he hasn't approved the marriage yet,
His Majesty gave me precious tangerines. So I brought them to share.
Please accept them as a token of my heart.
What's most important in marriage will be a person's heart, (Lee of Yongin - Saimdang's mother)
but there is a procedure and order when it comes to marriage.
If you return and wait, we will give you an answer.
Then I will go back and await your answer.
What did they say?
They said to wait.
- Hurry up and leave now. - Why?
They must've been shocked to receive the marriage proposal.
In times like this, you have to be extra careful with all your behavior.
I understand.
♬ The moment I saw him for the first time ♬
♬ I could never forget ♬
Hurry and leave.
♬ The day when wordlessly ♬
♬ we just smilled. We did ♬
Move aside!
What bad luck this is?!
♬ Please listen. ♬
Are you alright? Are you okay?
What mean people are they?!
Thank you. ♬ becomes all the light which touches me everywhere♬
♬ You. If it is you ♬
Seok Soon - who becomes Hwi Eum Dang later
Getting away from those sly subjects, who suffocate me,
and going to meet Gyeom makes me so happy.
- Did you say North Pyeong Village? - Yes.
- What about a palanquin? - Chief Eunuch will take care of it.
Let's hurry and go see which young lady Gyeom has fallen for.
Oh Jook Heon (Saimdang's house) in Gangreung
This is the house.
From what I hear, every travelling scholar on the way to see Mount Geumgang
ends up staying here. Please say that we are passing by and request to stay overnight.
Is anyone home?
Anyone home?
What is the matter? (Joong Jong: 11th king of Joseon (1506∼1544) Prince Eui Seong, Yi Gyeom's 8th cousin)
I've definitely seen him somewhere.
Please come in.
Please unload your baggage here and we will bring you some food.
Thank you.
Wait, isn't that the painting that I gave? An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang.
It seems like it.
Why is such a precious painting...
Gyeom, this punk, is completely blinded by love and is giving everything away.
Wait. You drew it well, so why did you do that?
May I ask who you are?
Ah, I am a guest who's staying here.
Would this be perhaps An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang painting?
It is...
Your imitation skill isn't ordinary. Why did you stop drawing and turn it over?
I've never seen Mount Geumgang and just copied it.
In my drawing, there is no spirit.
It's a fake.
Even if it's the same leaf, the light green color in the spring and dark green in the summer,
and the foliage in the fall are all different.
Depending on the sunlight and wind they exude different colors each moment.
I want to see all those things with my own eyes and draw them with my own feeling.
But what can you do? You cannot climb up Mount Geumgang as a woman.
Why are there so many things a woman cannot do?
That's how this kingdom's law is.
If you are that unhappy about it, why don't you submit a petition to the king?
If I could do that, I would have submitted over a hundred times.
Why is it that a woman cannot even submit a petition?
Not only your drawing skills, but your speech is also eloquent.
Someday, I hope your wish will surely come true.
What did she say?
I heard something about a wish or something.
Lee Won Soo
Since Gyeom is so unique I was wondering what kind of mate he will find, and it looks like he met a perfect match.
Since they share common interests in art and music, isn't it the icing on the cake?
It looks like he met his perfect spouse.
Do you also think so?
Yes.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Look here! A vegetable dish is missing on my table.
He says there is no vegetable on that table.
- Yes, please bring out another dish of vegetable. - Yes.
Ah, look here. Is the second young lady still working hard at drawing these days?
Please mind your own business.
Why are they like that?
He is a scholar that's been mooching off her for over a month and a half.
He was supposed to go to the mountain to devote himself to study for a civil examination, but it looks like he decided to just stay here.
The food at this house is so good that I can see why he would do that.
It also seems like he fell for young lady Saimdang's beauty and that's why he is like that.
Gyeom has a competitor!
Your Majesty, did you perhaps come here because you missed me?
I was just stopping by on my way to Onhaeng. Should I not have come here? (Ohhaeng - King leaving the palace in order to rest and to recuperate)
No, that's not it.
So, is the marriage preparation going well?
Yes.
But, there seems to be another one who loves that young lady.
Pardon?!
You didn't know that all this time?
Take this and win some points.
- This is... - It's Yong Mae Mook. (a kind of ink stick used by Ming's Palace)
I heard she is good at poems and drawings. So, wouldn't it help?
Gyeom, when you get married, you should live in the capital city, Hanyang.
Is that understood?
I don't have a friend that I can open my heart and talk to.
Oh, anyway, your future father-in-law's character seems to be virtuous as well,
seeing how he provides housing to a passerby.
What is his name?
It is Sin Myeong Hwa.
Sin Myeong Hwa. Sin Myeong Hwa, you say.
1519 Year of Gimyo Jo Gwang Jo's Sinjinsarim Party' Secret Meeting Lord, Jeong Am, how could His Majesty do this?
Jo Gwang Jo Shin Myeong Hwa The reason we started this revolution is to take away the power of the high officials,
so that His Majesty could rule for the people. How could he not know that?
It seems like His Majesty has made up his mind.
Soon, there will be bloodshed in our Sarim Party.
We can't just sit around and do nothing like this. We need to come up with some countermeasure—
Your words are too harsh.
So, are you saying we should commit an unthinkable crime against His Majesty?!
What do you mean unthinkable crime against His Majesty? Since our Sarim Party's fate is on the brink of being in danger, Baek In Geol
we are just saying we need to come up with some kind of countermeasure.
As for me, I can no longer participate in this kind of discussion.
It was a place where Jo Gwang Jo and Sinjin high officials were planning a treason.
Even in that atmosphere, he protected me without wavering.
He said the root of the country should not be shaken.
It would've been so nice to have someone like him nearby.
Okay. Since I'm here, I might as well bestow a poem.
Since he is an uptight and naive scholar from the countryside, he will be touched with just a tiny bit of sincerity.
Acquiring public approval is nothing but
persuading a man like him to be on my side.
Prepare the brush and ink stick.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ni o seo seo meong jeong no hwa neo oong hwa
Sir, this is a thank you letter from a scholar who stayed here two days ago.
Chanting some Chinese classics
He seemed ordinary when he was here, but as he left, he was extravagant with the paper.
He knows that Goryeo paper is good.
Who did that?
Did that scholar who was just wasting our food leave?
No. The scholars with the fine appearance who came in the day before yesterday.
Just when is that man leaving?
That's what I'm saying.
"Ae Cha Ha Min Sang Cheon Yi Gi Myo Chook Gaek Sim Dan Jeol""
"Ae Cha Ha Min Sang Cheon Yi Gi Myo Chook Gaek Sim Dan Jeol"
"Gi Myo Chook Gaek..."
"Gook Moo In Mak Ah Ji Hye"
"Yeo Dok Il Wook Gi Soo Eo"
Yi Yeok - King Joonjong's name
I feel sad for my poor subjects.
They have even lost heaven's justice.
For those who were kicked out in the year of Gimyo, my heart aches.
There are no people in this land, and no one recognizes me.
Who can I tell about my heavy heart?
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your grace is boundless.
I did not even realize your profound thoughts...
Your grace is boundless, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
How many men stomped off that night?
Other than Sin Myeong Hwa, there were three others.
Let's go visit them. I have already bestowed that poem anyway.
"Ae Cha Ha Min Sang Cheon Yi Gi Myo Chook Gaek Sim Dan Jeol"
"Ae Cha Ha Min Sang Cheon Yi Gi Myo Chook Gaek Sim Dan Jeol"?
When did you come in?
Whose poem is that?
It's nothing.
By "Gi Myo Chook Gaek," does it refer to the impoverished citizens of the year of Gimyo?
So then, why are you here?
Please let me borrow your seal engraving knife.
Mine became blunt, so it's hard to bend and stretch to engrave.
Okay.
May I open my eyes now?
Yes.
Did you get hurt? How did this happen?
It's just a slight scratch. Do you like the present?
No, I don't.
You don't like it?
It caused your hand to be hurt, so why would I like it?
Also, why does this bird only have one wing?
It's a "Bi Ik Jo". A legendary bird that is born with one eye and one wing.
Your name "Gyeom" is from the name of a mountain, but it's the same "Gyeom" pronunciation from Bi Ik Jo.
Could you engrave the other "Bi Ik Jo" yourself, on our wedding day?
So that we two can become one and fly high.
I understand. I will definitely engrave it for you.
Oh, here it is.
What is this?
It's a precious ink stick that was given by His Majesty.
I felt so impatient because I wanted to give it to you.
This is the Yong Mae Mook that I've only heard of? (Precious ink stick only used in the palace of Ming Dynasty)
That's right. It's something that can't be obtained in Joseon if one tries.
And... here is the finishing touch.
- When you see this you'll probably— - Look at this.
How can it have such a rich color?
While it's a lovely black color, there is also a blueish tint.
If I draw a line with this, what kind of color would it display?
Wait, but that's not important right now.
My heart is racing just thinking about it.
Tomorrow, no, I want to use it right now!
- Should I go get the drawing equipment? - No, no, no.
Take a look at this. This Korean mountain Magnolia is not just any Korean mountain Magnolia.
This is a ribbon that I spent all night personally drawing each stroke one by one while thinking of you.
This is the only one of its kind in the whole world.
But I think this ink stick is the first time in my life seeing something like this.
It's something I always wanted to use at least once. You've given such a precious thing to me.
On An Gyeon's Mount Geumgang Painting, that first enabled us to meet each other,
what do you think about leaving a poem that contains our feelings?
I asked the river water and the ocean water for a moment.
How is it that your heart feels so much the same as mine?
And so with this Bi Ik Jo stamp, we will make of this a token of our hearts.
The Bi Ik Jo seal.
Saimdang and Yi Gyeom were in love.
Saimdang gave Yi Gyeom a Bi Ik Jo seal.
Wha... what is this? So what you're saying is,
the authentic Mount Geumgang Painting not only accompanies the poem, written by Saimdang and Yi Gyeom, but also
bears the Bi Ik Jo seal.
Saimdang.
- Yi Gyeom. - An old novel?
Was there a novel like this?
Mount Geumgang painting?
Look at this. It says, right now, the gallery Sun and Professor Min are trying
to make the fake Mount Geumgang painting a national treasure!
Bi Ik Jo Seal?
Hey, where are you going in the middle of our conversation?
If, by chance, this is Yi Gyeom's drawing, then there must be a Bi Ik Jo seal.
An embossing?
An embossed Bi Ik Jo seal.
Of course, this isn't it.
I knew it wasn't.
- Withdraw (the wrongful terminaton)! - Withdraw it! Withdraw it! - It's murder! It's murder!
It's wrongful (dismissal of a ) lecturer and needs to be handled immediately!
Withdraw it! Withdraw it!
Firing is murder!
It's murder! It's murder!
Withdraw it! Withdraw it!
Firing is murder!
So, Seo Ji Yoon is carrying around an old book and is requesting an interpretation.
That kid Han Sang Hyeon is not in sight.
- Where is Han Sang Hyeon? - He doesn't seem to come here very often anymore.
- I think he had burnout and gave up on his own. - Aigoo...
What are you saying?
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
- Find out what Seo Ji Yoon and Han Sang Hyeon are up to lately. - Excuse me?
Actually, just follow them 24 hours a day.
- Are you saying we should do a stake out like detectives? - We're laboratory employees.
- Do things stop running because the two of you aren't here? - No.
Whether you play detective, or whatever, run out quickly. Get going!
Yes, yes, yes.
Seo Ji Yoon.
- Are you sure? - I think this is the right place. This is Ogindong.
- Ogin-ogindong? Ogingil? - The address changed here.
It changed. Aish. They gave us the old address.
They should give us the changed one then. I think this is the right—
- Let's go out. - Ah, yes. This neighborhood is really confusing.
I have a package delivery.
I didn't order a package.
This is the household of Ms. Seo Ji Yoon who lives on Ogin street, correct?
- I've never ordered a delivery... - Oh really! It's her.
Come on! Where's your husband?!
- Just leave! - What are you talking about leave?
- Just stay put. - These people won't listen when we just talk.
Who are you? What do you take us for?
My daughter-in-law is a college professor,
- When my son comes back he's going to— - So what? Huh?
- Where is your well-born son that he isn't paying back the debt? - Who are you guys?!
What's with you? What's with you? What's with you?
- What? What are you? - Boyfriend!
Boyfriend?
- No, kindred. Kindred. - What's kindred?
A relative. Kindred. She's my older cousin. Right, Noona?
- What are you saying? - Oh, wait a second, wait a second!
Violation of the fair debt collection practices under Article 10 of the Consumer Credit Protection Act!
- What is this kid saying, huh? - When collecting debts incurred pursuant to loan agreements,
you can't use the following methods. Assault or threats,
visits from associates of creditors without just cause.
Oh, even if it's court authorized enforcement you're not allowed to carry out your tasks after the sun sets.
Aigoo, the sun is setting right now.
Well, to an educated gentleman's eyes, maybe it looks like the sun is setting,
- but to my uneducated eyes, the sun is up in the middle of the sky. What are you trying to pull? - Hello?
Is this the over-all support center helping with loan shark problems? I want to report some people violating the fair debt collection practices here.
Yes, that's right. In five minutes, you say?
Are you going to leave quietly, or shall we go to the police station together to settle this? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Ajumma, if you don't have our money within a week,
then at that time, I really don't know what I'll do. Go!
That Protection Act Article 10 thing...
Did you guys understand it?
I've heard it before, but...
They still haven't left.
Eun Soo's mom, shouldn't we report this?
I'm sure they won't stay like that all night. They'll leave.
Oh my goodness, what in the world is happening?
Mom, when is Dad coming?
He has a complicated business matter. He'll come back soon. Don't worry. It's okay.
Hey, Eun Soo! You have one of these? I have one too. Avengers.
- Awesome! - Should we do this together? - Yes.
Excuse me, but do you know my daughter-in-law?
Eun Soo's mom, you tell me.
- Mother, the truth is— - We have a graduate school sunbae-hoobae relationship.
- We're working on a joint research project. - A joint research project?
Then why didn't you tell me? Did you move into the same building on purpose?
- No, no! - I was also surprised, Mother.
Actually, I was more surprised, since Sunbae never liked me.
We have no choice but to work on this research project together. Isn't that right, Sunbae?
Mother, I'll introduce myself properly.
Don't go overboard.
My name is Han Sang Hyeon.
I think it would be better for me to stay here with you until those people outside go away.
Are you Im Ji Hoon's guardian?
Yes.
The other belongings were taken by the police for investigation.
Min Seok, I can't write long as I don't have enough time.
We fell in the trap that Sunjin Group made to swallow R-Tech.
Everything about this scheme started from Sunjin Group,
and Sun Gallery is its slush fund counter. So you should start looking into that first.
And I really didn't know either that there was Russian Mafia's black money mixed in the investment I attracted.
I reached a cowardly decision as I couldn't find any solution to hang on to at all.
Among the security guards working for Sun Gallery, there is one junior I know from R.O.T.C.
You will know too when you see him.
I've already told him about you, so contact him.
This is all I could do. I'm sorry.
"Yang Hwi Man Cheon, Woon Pyeong Sa Gwan Eum Jeon."
"Gi Moon Ji Moon Hwa Yeom Oh Hwa Ya"...
On a sunny day, no flowers were more beautiful than the window frame's patterns at Woon Pyeong Temple's Gwan Eum Hall.
Sunbae, would you read the next line?
Keep reading it yourself.
I put all the interpretations here.
Geez...
Every season and every moment,
the colors of its window frame pattern looked different. - Woon Pyeong Temple
As I wanted to replicate those different colors the same as they looked, I used to draw them many times.
Gwan Eum Hall
Suwol Gwaneum Painting (Water Moon Avalokitesvara)
Wow.
Monk!
Please show me that painting.
Painting? What painting are you talking about?
You know, the painting you just rolled and hid, that one.
I mean, that beautiful and noble lady in the water drop shape.
You saw it wrong, Miss.
No, I saw it clearly! No one in the world looked more beautiful but also sadder than that lady.
That's Gwan Eum Bo Sal (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva), who appears in front of poor people and bestows charity, am I right?
Please, show it to me, please!
You saw it wrong. There is nothing like that.
Ah, Monk!
Su Wol Gwaneum Painting!
Su Wol Gwaneum Painting?
Where is that...
Here!
Wow... If we want to see it now, we need to take an airplane and go to Japan.
A couple hundreds of pieces, which are most of the existing Goryeo era's cultural artifacts, are now in Japan.
But at that time, she saw this painting at the mountain near her town.
Are you not done yet?
Oh, yes...
While I was following the monk in Woonpyeong Temple ..
Monk! Monk! Hey, Monk!
Monk!
Is this Geoyeoji (Goryeo paper)? I've only heard of it. (Goryeoji: paper made during the Koryo Period)
Yes.
Monk!
Monk... Those people...
Please leave now, Miss. Soon. A blasphemous bunch will burst onto the scene.
It's not something that you should see, young lady.
You shouldn't see or hear. Leave immediately.
Let me look at you.
Yoon Gyeong Bo, Prime Minister - Politics requires people.
Min Chi Hyeong, Magistrate of Pyeongchang - In attracting people, nothing works better than money.
You know the ways of the world. I will make a very good use of these.
I am looking for a paper shop location at Yukuijeon (six state-authorized stores with monopolies to sell six types of goods).
I think if I am based in Hanyang, I will be able to visit you more frequently.
I will put in a good word for you with the Mayor of Hanyang and the Minister of Taxation.
Thank you.
Father!
Oh, you had a guest.
Yoon Pil - Prime Minister's one and only son Listen, Father. Please send me to Geumgang Mountain.
Later...
What's this between you guys?
Father, what's wrong?!
Look! Is anybody there?!
Come this way, please, Young Master.
Father, please let me visit Mount Geumgang.
When I was maligned by Jo Gwang Jo and his minions and was exiled as the result, my house was turned upside-down.
He lost his mother at the time and afterwards became mentally unstable.
He beats up people and digs up others' graves saying those belong to the traitors of the Gimyo Year.
Why don't I escort him and go on a trip?
He might get better when he gets some fresh air.
Thank you.
He is okay when he is in his right mind.
I will escort him with all my heart and soul.
Woonpyeong Temple
Da!
As expected, alcohol is more tasty when we drink it at the temple.
This nutty tofu taste. Which tapa can overtake the taste of tofu dishes prepared by monk punks?
Hey you there, Oh Tak! Are you done yet?
Yes, it's all done!
Should I try first?!
I will dance!
Oh, you are here?
On the one hand, people are starving to death, but on the other hand...
Now that I am drinking such pure tea and listening to the wind chimes of a mountain temple,
I feel as if the stains I got from the secular world are coming off by themselves.
Namu Gwanseum Bosal (means "I surrender myself to the Buddha of Compassion").
Since the founding of Joseon, all, as one, have paganized and persecuted Buddhism.
It's such a shame.
Looking around, I saw the paint on various structures fading
and the gilded statute of the main Buddha is also peeling.
I think it's excessive for a donation.
I am the magistrate of a town.
But at the same time I run the biggest paper store in Gangwon area.
I'm here because I know Woonpyeong Temple produces the best quality Goryeo paper in the country.
Head Monk of Woon Pyeong Temple - I will support you without stint (limitation). What do you think?
It seems the government is having a hard time as well because the Goryeo paper demanded by Ming exceeds supply.
What do you think about starting a big enterprise with me?
I am sorry, but I cannot allow that.
Woon Pyeong Temple does not make Goryeo paper for private gains.
We make it to publish temple books and Buddhist scriptures.
It's a labor of love and devotion for Buddha and not to be treated as money.
I hope you understand with a generous heart.
Bribe all the Goryeoji (Goryeo paper) craftsmen.
Isn't the chief monk the only one know who knows the secret of how to make Goryeoji?
That monk will refuse, even with a sword at his neck.
There must be someone who picked up the secret knowledge.
Yes.
"Ae Cha Ha Min Sang Cheon Yi Gi Myo Chook Gaek Sim Dan Jeol"?
By "Gi Myo Chook Gaek," does it refer to the impoverished citizens of the year of Gimyo?
Oh my!
You scared me.
This?
Do you want to eat this?
You're not eating it?
Then what about this?
No, not like that.
You peel the skin before you eat it.
There's only this for today. I'll bring more next time.
Here.
I'll make sure to bring you more things to eat tomorrow.
Why is your face so pale?
Are you not feeling well?
No.
Truthfully...
I went to Woon Pyeong temple.
Noblemen and gisaengs were mixing together and the temple grounds were overflowing with meat and alcohol.
And right at their feet the people are dying from disease.
It's so strange. Even if they just shared the smallest
amount of the food and drink which they partook they could probably keep people from dying.
Why are they leaving people to die?
How can this be happening?
Don't ever go there again.
- Father. - You...
There is a law forbidding women from going up to the temple. I am telling you to never to go to Woon Pyeong Temple.
"Sa Ma Woo Moon Goon Ja"
Confucious says, "A virtuous man does not worry and does not fear."
He says, "no worry and no fear." Sa Im Dang
He says...
What's most important in marriage will be a person's heart,
but there is a procedure and order when it comes to marriage.
If you return and wait, we will give you an answer.
How is there still no answer? How?
Shall I go over there?
No, no, no. I may pointlessly make myself look bad in front of father-in-law.
What are you writing so diligently?
I'm going up to distribute food tomorrow morning.
What?
Give this letter to Young Master Gyeom.
At this time of night?
Yes. Right now.
I have to take the food out of the storage shed before my parents wake up,
and since I can't do it alone.
- tell him to meet me below Dangsan Shrine. - Yes.
Mom!
It's like casting pearls before swine. Why on earth would you want to get educated?
The elder at Oh Jook Heon said that I could come and learn.
He said that I could come every day.
Will rice come out of that learning to read?
Where did you get so filled up with all this useless hot air?!
I don't like it. I'm going to study. I don't want to live like you, Mom.
What?! You wench! You wench! You wench!
I told you I really don't like it.
Hey, you wench!
Oh my word.
- Are you all right? - Oh, I feel like I could die.
I have to deliver this to the young master of Heon Won Jang.
I have to relay this to him.
Heon Won Jang, you said?
Shall I relay it to him instead?
You?
Sure. Sure, d-d-do that. You, give this to him well, huh?
Waiting for spring to come at a splendid palace.
It's coming so slowly.
Swallows are flying in twos and where do they flutter off to?
It drizzles without end.
In the garden only the winds are raging.
My eyes are filled with worry, but the person I'm waiting for is nowhere to be seen.
Who...?
Saimdang? Is that you Saimdang?
Saimdang?
Oh? Where is Saimdang?
I definitely heard someone reciting a poetry.
The sound of poetry being recited just now...?
I'm sorry. I didn't know my place and opened my mouth.
How did you know that poem? Do you know your letters?
A bit...
Is that right? Do you know who wrote the poem you just recited?
Goo Yang Soo's Jeopyeon. (Butterfly Love Flower)
A tavern owner's daughter who knows Goo Yang Soo. (Chinese poet Qu Yuan who wrote the Songs of the South)
Do you also know how to write?
I've only written on the ground before so my handwriting is atrocious.
That you're studying your letters without paper or brush on the bare ground.
Wait just a minute.
Here. Take this.
Is it alright for you to give me such a precious thing?
Even in difficult circumstances, you're trying to learn by yourself. Where else would there be such a praise-worthy thing?
Here, hurry up.
♬ That time ♬
Thank you, Young Master. Really, thank you so much.
♬ Don't smile ♬
♬ Towards me ♬
But what are you doing here at this late hour?
Oh, Dam Ahjumma asked me to...
Dam did? Did she give you an answer to the marriage request?
Is that it? Is Saimdang telling me ahead of time?

♬ Why did you make me love you ♬
♬ Why are you making me stay only by your side ♬
♬ Unless if it's love ♬
I want to go to Woon Pyeong Sa.
It's a painting I painted. - Sir.
Saimdang, open your eyes.
Get rid of those who received the poem,
and bring it back.
I will marry another man.
- Young Master! - Saimdang!
They say that the inner annex was all demolished. That's where Mount Geumgang Painting was supposed to be hidden.
Tuscany. It means that Samindang's hidden diary was found in Italy.
This is the find of the century!
This is an amazing event that will flip the art world upside down.
