In 1 882, the Chosun dynasty is ending.
:04:05
The Koreans are rebelling against
foreign invasions and corrupt government.

:04:10
The country is in decline. These were
the days of the artist Jang Seung-ub.

:04:21
We've been expecting you.
:04:25
Mr. Kaiura is Japanese.
He writes for the Hansung Daily.

:04:29
I brought him here because he longs
to own one of your paintings.

:04:42
I admire you.
Your paintings are sublime.

:04:53
He hears you like good drink.
He brought this from Japan.

:04:56
It's good.
Our diplomats there enjoy it.

:05:03
Thank you for the wine.
:05:05
But do you really want
to take back a painting

:05:08
by a vulgar Korean
to the glorious empire of Japan?

:05:12
Don't be so arrogant!
:05:14
Many artists would die
for such recognition.

:05:18
Mr. Kaiura genuinely
admires your work.

:05:44
He knows you're a commoner.
He wonders how you paint so well.

:05:51
My poor friend!
Genius shows, even in a baby!
