[Saimdang: Light's Diary]
[Episode 10]
It is called cochineal color.
It is the same color as a cochineal insect.
Why do you have a scar on such fine hands?
It's from when I was young.
I have no memory of it.
Long ago...
I saw a girl with a scar like that.
I gave her money for medicine.
I do not know what happened to her after that.
A scar...
lasts forever if it is not treated right away.
Giving money for medicine is not enough.
You should have checked the extent of her injuries.
Cochineal color. I made that up.
Cochineal color?
That tavern owner's daughter.
I am certain she's the tavern owner's daughter.
I have no idea what has led you to act this way
but if your intention is to cause someone turmoil
I hope that you will think about the scar on your hand
and refrain from shooting arrows at someone else's heart.
Well, I don't know.
If I want to cause her mental turmoil
surely there must be a reason why she is deserving of it.
It's only fair that I take an eye for an eye.
I'm sure that she's the tavern owner's daughter from Bupyeong.
She still somewhat looks like she did when she was young.
She was the one who had rescued Saimdang back then.
So why is she antagonizing her now?
What in the world happened at Woonpyeongsa that day?
And how could the daughter of a mere tavern owner
become Min Chi Hyung's wife?
Min Chi Hyung of the Jangwon Paper Market.
Woon Pyeong.
[Prime Minister Yoon Kyung Bo's Vacation Home]
You're here, sir?
Please, come inside! Yes, yes!
I... that woman...
[Yoon Pil - Prime Minister Yoon's Son]
We are unable to take care of this matter ourselves
and are at a loss. What should we do?
I spared this crazy bastard, and now...
What took you so long? Huh?
This woman... she survived the Woonpyeongsa incident instead of dying!
And that's why I had to kill her--
Get it together, already!
That person from Woonpyeongsa is no more.
If you stay well-hidden behind me, that is.
We were never here.
After he killed that woman
he did this himself because he was consumed by his own guilt.
Do you understand?
Yes!
Oh, you're home, my lady?
What about Young Master Hyun Ryong?
Hyun Ryong hasn't returned home yet?
No, he hasn't. I thought he was with you.
My lady!
[Legendary Bird]
What brings you here at this hour?
Hyun Ryong! Hyun Ryong!
- Oh, sir! - Yes.
Are you searching for someone, sir?
Have you seen a child named Hyun Ryong?
He's a student.
- Have you seen him, by any chance? - Oh, by Hyun Ryong...
do you mean the child who was writing way after the contest ended?
Is he talking about that stubborn child?
- Yes, it must be him! - Yes!
It seems that he didn't go home after the contest was over.
- What? - What?
All right, let us search for him.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- Let's hurry! - Let's hurry!
- Hyun Ryong! - Hyun Ryong!
Man, where could he be?
Hyun Ryong!
Oh!
What are you doing here, Hyun Ryong?
Oh my goodness!
Uncle! I've found him!
Your mother is worried. Let's hurry, okay?
I refuse!
- Hurry up! - No!
- Hey, come on! - No!
I've found Hyun Ryong!
Hurry up, now! And stop crying!
Uncle! Uncle!
- I don't want to! - I told you to hurry up!
Here, I've found him.
Oh, sheesh.
It's late. Let's go.
I don't want to! I'm not going!
Do you know how many people were inconvenienced because of you?
Your family has been searching all over Hanyang for you
and the folks here have been searching the Legendary Bird for you--
The person who left me behind was you, Mother!
You cast me aside and left me here, so why are you blaming me?
There's no way I'll go with you, Mother!
I am no longer your son, and I have nowhere to go
so I will live here forever!
Go back to your home, Mother!
Hyun Ryong!
Wait.
It seems that he is set on not leaving this place.
Why not let him sleep here for tonight?
I will bring him home when the sun rises.
Let's go, Hyun Ryong.
I don't want to! I'm not going!
- Oh my! - Hey! Where are you going?
- Oh geez. - My, my.
Thank you for your hard work, everyone.
You should all get going now.
- Yes, let's go. - Yes, let's.
- Let's go. - Man, that was tough!
Looks like he has the same ridiculous stubborn streak
you had when you were younger.
What, am I wrong?
Do not worry, and go home.
I'll take care of Hyun Ryong.
You punk. You really are mad, aren't you?
When I was about your age...
I lived day to day among the beggars in the marketplace eating scraps to survive.
I had nothing to eat, even when I was hungry
and I had no home to return to, even when the sun set.
And I had no mother who'd give me a warm embrace, you see.
But you can eat whenever you want, you have a home to return to...
and you have a mother, too.
I am certain that I am not truly her child.
Mother didn't even need me...
so I'm sure that she's happy to have a chance to be rid of me now.
Oh, all right, you cheeky child.
She left.
I'd be okay with it if she hit me, or yelled at me.
I just wish I had a mother.
I can't remember what kind of mother she was...
or even what her face looked like.
But you're an adult.
Adults shouldn't be whiny.
There's no such law saying that.
There are times when adults want to whine too, you know.
After you've lived for a while
there are times when you grow weary of life.
And when such a time comes
you come to long for a mother's warm embrace
no matter when it may be, or what may have happened.
- So, Hyun Ryong-- - All right.
I should be good to Mother.
I am well-aware of that.
And yet you acted that way?
It's because I feel so frustrated.
Do you think that this is all for my own sake?
This is for Mother and my family's sake.
I'm going to study very hard.
I'm going to get the highest marks on the National Exams
and become one of the most esteemed civil servants.
I'll buy a nice home where each of my family members can have their own rooms
and I want to buy beautiful silk clothes for Mother
since she only ever wears shoddy clothing.
Why doesn't Mother understand these feelings of mine?
Hyun Ryong.
Have you ever tried to tell your mother about those feelings?
Shouldn't mothers know everything?
Not even family members know what their family is thinking all the time.
Nobody can know how you feel if you don't tell them.
Then, what should I do?
You must tell her.
You can convey your feelings through your words.
Your earnestness, and your feelings.
Hyun Ryong.
Shall we go home?
Yes.
Mother.
Go inside.
Yes, Mother.
Say goodbye to him.
Have a safe trip back.
I have inconvenienced you.
He's quite a special child.
He's quite intelligent, and yet, also quite sensitive.
That's why I am hard on him.
So that he does not become too prideful.
I'm sure that he will become a distinguished figure in this country.
Thank you.
And so, if you'd permit it...
I'd like to become Hyun Ryong's sponsor.
- No. - He is more than deserving of it.
I'm not making this offer to you due to our history together.
He's so skilled, but it may be us adults' selfishness that is blocking his path.
Please consider my offer carefully.
I thank you for your sentiments alone.
What Hyun Ryong needs right now is not financial support
but some time to pacify his heart.
It won't be too late to take care of his education after that.
Goodbye, then.
Woonpyeongsa.
What in the world happened there?
Why did you run out like that?
Does Woonpyeongsa have anything to do with the fact
that you cut ties with me 20 years ago?
Why are you living this way now?
There's no way the Saimdang I knew would've given up like this.
Where has the vivacious girl who would've crossed the fence
after hearing that An Gyeon was at Mount Geumgang gone?
You should hurry and go.
[The site where Woonpyeongsa used to be, in Gangneung]
What in the world happened here?
Sir!
- Sir! - Sir!
This old man here said that he saved a person who used to work at Woonpyeongsa.
- Really? - Yes.
Go ahead.
Yes, sir.
Even those who were far away were able to see the fire at Woonpyeongsa that day.
And when I got there, it'd been rendered to nothing but ashes.
All of those dead bodies...
My, I've never seen such a terrible thing in my life.
- Dead bodies? - Yes.
It was about 100 of them, at least.
There were monks, citizens, children, and paper makers among them.
Paper makers?
There were many people at Woonpyeongsa back then who made paper.
Paper, eh?
Do you know who caused that incident?
Go on and tell me!
Well, there were brief rumors that it was the former mayor of Pyeongchang.
But I don't know for sure, since I didn't witness the incident myself.
Pyeongchang.
How could someone like him do something like that? It makes no sense!
- That's right! - That makes no sense!
Wait, you said there was someone who survived that incident?
There was a man who had a huge scar on his neck.
He was barely breathing.
I took him in, applied medicinal herbs to his wound
and nursed him for a few days.
But he disappeared one day without a trace.
What about his name? What was his name?
I don't know.
He kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
All he said was that he used to make paper at Woonpyeongsa.
A person with a scar on his neck, eh?
I'm a bit nervous since this is my first time selling paper I made, my lady!
Will we become rich if we sell this?
I don't know. Do you want to be rich that badly?
Yes!
- Oh my. - Are you all right, my lady?
Oh my.
Mother.
Sell this paper and buy shoes with the money.
- Shall I do that? - Yes.
Let's do that, then.
Let's go.
[Min Chi Hyung's Paper Market]
Excuse me.
Oh yes, are you here to buy paper?
We've got all sorts of paper here for any need you may have.
All uses, all colors, all sizes! Just go ahead and choose!
Um, I'm actually here to try and sell some paper.
- 10 yang. - That much?
Wow, my lady! We'll become rich, Young Master!
Yay!
Really, sir?
If you give me 10 yang, I'll dispose of this for you.
Were you seriously expecting to sell this?
It's just trash. Take it back.
Nobody would be willing to buy that kind of shoddy paper.
Whoa, there! Don't touch!
Is this that great paper I've heard of? The one that costs one yang per sheet?
No, this one is worth two yang per sheet.
Hey, I said no!
Please let me touch it, just once.
No! Leave! I said leave.
- But-- - You sure are a nuisance.
Get out of here. Hurry up! Sheesh!
I said no! Hurry up and leave!
What a jerk!
Let's try going over there.
Oh, you mean that woman from before?
She wanted to sell some paper, so I kicked her out.
Oh man.
Stop sighing.
Sighing won't help us sell the paper.
I'm mad that I'm being treated like this when I worked so hard to make it.
Still, we must try for the sake of the children.
We must find a way.
Excuse me! Stop right there!
How is it that a woman like you walks so fast?
You disappeared so quickly!
What is it?
This colored paper.
There are a lot of people who want colored paper nowadays.
So make some of that.
Do you truly mean that?
- How many sheets do you need? - 5,000.
Can you make that many in five days?
- What? - 5,000? That many?
Here's the down payment.
Hyang!
But if you can't fulfill your end of the deal, you'll owe me 10 times this.
10 times?
Well, never mind if you don't want to. There's tons of other people who'd do it.
Fine. 5,000 sheets.
My lady! How will you be able to make that many?
When it comes to the paper business
the texture of the paper isn't all that matters.
Being able to produce the amount you promised on time is important.
And whether or not each party holds up their end of the deal.
Yes, I can do it.
Thank you. Thank you, truly.
I'm only giving you this chance because I hate seeing women suffer.
I told her to make 5,000 sheets in five days, just as you said.
And I gave her the down payment, too.
And here's the contract.
We were only able to produce a couple hundred sheets per day
even when we had that paper-making master with us.
And if they break their end of the deal, they'll have to pay us back tenfold!
Good work.
Oh, it was nothing!
And go to Punggi for the time being.
What? By Punggi, do you mean the town in Gyeongsang-do?
Why?
They're quite busy over there and need more laborers.
Did I make some sort of mistake, by any chance--
Talking back to me is what you did wrong.
You know too much now.
5,000 sheets in five days, eh?
There's no way they'll be able to do it.
I'll destroy the seed before it germinates.
She wants me to go to Punggi?
I've been like a slave to that damn woman for so long, now.
Now she's casting me aside like I'm yesterday's news?
They say that the world is cruel, but people shouldn't be like that.
Sheesh, what does she take me for?
Oh, aren't you that scholar from last time?
How much do you charge for test-taking paper nowadays?
Why do you keep meandering about my wares like a sick chicken?
What? A chicken? How dare you speak to me that way?
How dare you liken me to a damned chicken?
I'm here to inspect your store to see if everything is being run justly.
Do you think we're selling some evil talismans here, or something?
Well, rather than a talisman, per se... Wait, I never said that!
Never mind, then!
Oh, wait!
What, huh?
There's some intel I have that would make you keel over in shock.
So help me meet that high-ranking person you came with last time.
And what will you do?
I'll take care of that once I meet him!
Well? Did you look into it?
It's true. The mayor of Pyeongchang back then
was someone named Min Chi Hyung.
Take a look here.
I can tell merely from looking at his face that he is rotten.
I am positive that he is very corrupt.
- Dead bodies? - There seemed to be about 100 of them.
There were monks, citizens, children, and paper-makers among them.
Do you know who was behind that incident?
There were rumors that it was the mayor of Pyeongchang.
Wait a second. Min Chi Hyung?
Isn't that the Officer of Government Management's name?
Why would he...
Thank you. Also, please keep this a secret.
Yes, sir. I understand.
Why is it that I always get so hungry whenever I come to a temple?
How curious.
I feel like I'd be so focused after having a bit of meat.
What are you up to?
Can't you tell? I'm doing my duties as the wood-chopper and water-bearer.
- By any chance-- - No!
Um, shouldn't you hear a person out instead of cutting them off like that?
Ow! Oh.
Focus!
But you know, Sir Monk.
I think that doing 50 bows is fine for my punishment--
If you keep acting like that, I'll make you do 3,000.
Focus!
Wife! Oh, I mean, focus!
I've reported that guy Man Deuk to the authorities.
I told them to search all the taverns and gambling salons.
What good will it do to capture and bring back someone who left like that?
We have to capture him and sentence him to torture as punishment!
He didn't do any work whatsoever
and stole the paper that you and I worked so hard to make!
How could he be so evil?
We can just make more paper.
We only made around 50 sheets of paper even when that Man Deuk guy was around.
What are we going to do?
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Let's think about it carefully.
The five days are going to fly by at that rate!
Peel some more white bark if you have the time to complain.
Here. We have no time.
Yes.
Apparently that guy Man Deuk ran off with all their paper.
But what are they working so hard on?
They received an order for 5,000 sheets of colored paper from the paper merchant.
He said to finish in five days.
5,000 sheets in five days?
Has that merchant lost his mind?
How in the world will two women manage to make so many in five days?
- Gosh. - Exactly my point!
- Oh no! - My lady!
Oh man, what are they going to do?
How is it that someone like her ended up doing this sort of labor?
What in the world is her husband doing while she suffers like this?
Ugh!
What are we going to do?
She won't accept any help, even as she suffers like that!
She won't take my paper, won't accept my sponsorship--
You can just make it in her stead, then!
Geez!
In her stead.
So we made 30 on the first day...
It's a job that requires a lot of hands and manpower.
It's too much for just two people to handle.
Shall I help you?
More hands will make the work go by faster.
Seon, you help too.
With what?
With Mother's work, obviously.
Mother's work?
I'm going to help her. You all help too, starting tomorrow.
Okay!
What shall I help you with, Mother?
What about me, Mother?
I'll help you too, Mother!
I think that'll be more fun than reading books.
Me too!
Oh, my dears.
Thank you for your sentiments.
She married that man to end up doing this kind of work?
If you were going to do this for her, you should've done it by yourself!
Why did you have to drag me into this?
Shut it and just keep peeling, all right?
Why won't this cut?
No, don't cut it! Peel it!
- I am peeling! - Peel!
Do you really hate doing this that much?
Yes! Wait, what?
- Ow! - Peel!
You're going to kill me!
Stir. Don't stop now.
- Why do I have to-- - Stir! Stir!
I can't do this anymore!
Move.
Can't you put more effort into it? Like this. Pour your love into it.
You should've done it from the start, then.
- Like this. - You're good. You can just do it.
What in the world am I doing here?
- Hoo. - What?
Tell the men at Legendary Bird to be less wasteful with their paper usage.
Yes, I think I should.
Oh man, I didn't know that making paper was such back-breaking work!
Don't run!
Huh? What's that?
What should I do, Mother?
Well, let's look for something for you to do together.
- Yes. - Yes.
Oh my.
Oh, it's paper!
Don't touch this. It's dangerous.
- Hyang? - Yes?
I don't see the tree bark that we were boiling yesterday.
Huh? Where did it go?
My lady! Come here. Hurry!
All we have to do is put this in the mold.
Who did this for us?
Yes, indeed...
Maybe Man Deuk did this?
Man Deuk? No way!
Why would he, when he ran off with the paper we made?
Who else could have done this, though?
Maybe the "snail-shell bride" came in the night and did the work for us.
Or the "snail-shell husband," rather?
I don't care either way. I'm just so thankful!
I am, but who--
A thief!
- Thief! - Thief!
- Mae Chang! - Yes?
Stay here with Woo.
Yes, Mother.
- Thief! - Thief!
Hey!
Let go, you thief!
Let go! Let go!
Stop it!
I told you to stop, Hyun Ryong!
Why did you do that? Huh?
Because I was hungry!
- So you stole from us? - You damned thief!
Seon!
Why did you do this? Huh?
My grandfather is ill.
He hasn't eaten in three days.
- Mommy! - Mommy!
Daddy!
Oh my, what is all this?
They're drifters.
Drifters?
How is it that these people are living like this, Mother?
If there is someone who knows the answer to that question
I would like to ask that as well.
It's just all too peculiar.
We could save those dying people
if we just spared a bit of the plentiful food we have.
So why do you leave them to die?
How is it that these things happen?
This won't do.
Hyang, go to our worksite and bring all the barley we have.
What? All of it?
All of it.
We don't have enough to eat as it is, though!
They'll starve to death in this freezing winter.
And Seon, you go home and watch over your younger siblings.
Hurry, Hyang. Hurry!
Yes, my lady.
Let's go.
Oh, it's so warm!
It's been so long since I've last had a meal!
- This is heavenly! - Yes!
Eat up!
Thank you so much!
Who's the person in charge here?
Why are you looking for our leader?
I have something to speak to them about.
It's me!
[Chun Jin Seok] Who are you people?
I have something to speak to you about.
What is it?
I need some workers.
- What? - Is she talking about us?
Are you telling us to work after feeding us some measly barley porridge?
Looks like she has some ridiculous plan up her sleeve.
It may only be barley porridge for now
but it could turn into a steaming bowl of barley rice, or something even better
with your efforts and mine.
- Huh? - What is she saying?
So?
Please help me make paper.
- Paper? - Making paper?
And why should we do that?
If we agree to take on this work for a measly bowl of barley porridge
will we be forever spared from the fate of starving to death?
To be honest, I can't guarantee you that.
- What kind of... - Such nonsense!
- Are you toying with us? - What's with her?
But I can promise you just this one thing.
If you starve, my family will starve alongside all of you
and if you eat, we'll all eat together.
And you expect us to just trust you, a woman, like that?
Don't think that I don't have my head on straight just because I'm a woman.
I will do my very best.
When you all get up, I will be the first to get up
and I will be the first to start working. Just watch me.
And I'll divide the payment evenly among everyone here.
- What? - Oh my!
She's only taking as much money as she's giving us?
That's correct. I'll even sign a contract promising that.
- Oh! - Oh my!
Yes, my lady doesn't lie.
Wait, then we'll be paid in money?
- We're making money? - Wow!
Let's do it!
- We're being paid to make paper! - Wow!
Count me in!
I'm going to get married with that money!
Hyang, take care of things here for a moment.
Yes.
It seems that your grandfather is quite ill.
Yes.
Well? What is the reason you asked to see me?
It's fine! Just speak freely.
I can hand over evidence to you regarding Min Chi Hyung's corruption.
Evidence?
Like what, for example?
Records regarding his evil monopolization of the paper industry.
Records of how he scammed people by using force.
Using bribes to have his city's debts written off.
He's involved with all the places that purchase paper
like the military training academy, the diplomatic offices, and the libraries.
I have some records of all the bribes that he's handed out
from the most affluent to the least affluent officials.
And how am I supposed to believe that?
Those are his transactions from the beginning of last month
up until his activities from three days ago.
The people he met, and the contents of their conversations.
The items that were exchanged. All of that.
I have a volume per year of these transactions, and have about 10 of them.
10 volumes?
Officer!
You still expect to live after doing this?
It's not that!
They tried to pry information out of me, but I didn't say anything!
Really--
You got all this in exchange for not opening your mouth?
It's quite a lot.
Isn't that right?
Please spare me, sir!
Please... please! Spare me!
Please, sir!
It seems that there are very interesting things happening
at Legendary Bird as of late.
Lee Gyeom sure seems to have a way with people.
I don't know why he's making such a fuss about teaching some poor folk.
The issue lies with those he's drawing toward him, though!
Haven't you heard?
The new government officials are heading to Legendary Bird nowadays, too.
That's how the incident with Jo Gwang Jo started last time!
Berating people without evidence or witnesses to back up your claims
will no longer be deemed acceptable by me.
So you're doing a background check on me, Lee Gyeom?
What reason could they have for saying such things?
How is it that they're likening Lee Gyeom to Jo Gwang Jo?
Could it be...
that they heard about the command I gave to Lee Gyeom?
There's no way that could be, Your Majesty.
It will be difficult to keep this a secret from them.
Things could go awry if the wrong party hears about this.
Things will have to be taken care of surreptitiously.
He will have to conduct his operations quite surreptitiously.
Here, I'll do it. Watch me.
Here, watch. Like this.
Like this!
Don't you have anyone you hate?
Hit it hard while thinking about that person!
Like this! Like this!
I have tons of people I hate, like those who take advantage of the unfortunate!
They're not even human.
You have to let those feelings out.
If you hit this hard, you'll feel much better!
That man... he hits me and curses at me every time he gets drunk!
He fell asleep after drinking too much
and ended up falling asleep next to another man!
My lady, the barley porridge is all done!
Eat while you work, please!
All right.
Working so hard in the middle of the night reminds me of school.
- I'll buy some soup and rice. - Yeah!
I'll get my Kkot Soon some nice winter shoes before it begins to snow!
What's so funny? I want to laugh alongside you all.
Oh my, you shouldn't sit on the cold ground, ma'am!
Hurry and head inside.
No, I'm all right. It's nice to sit together with you all like this.
We were talking about all the things we want to do
with our share of the money.
- What about you? - Nah.
Come on, go ahead!
Three years ago, I couldn't afford rent
so I got into a fight with the owner, and ran off.
But I was only focused on my own survival
and left my sick mother behind.
Oh my.
I have no idea if she's even alive anymore.
My mother and sister died of an illness and were buried in some field.
I want to retrieve my mother's corpse and give her a proper burial.
It breaks my heart that I couldn't do that.
Come on, what are you all doing? Let's all get to work now.
Let's work hard, earn as much money as we can
and start our lives over! Easy enough, right?
Yes, you're right!
Let's stop living in sheds that can't withstand rain or snow
and build proper houses, and live like normal folks!
We'll be able to stay warm in the nice, cozy rooms.
- Yes! - Yes, let's do it!
She said that she'd split the earnings with us equally!
Right, miss?
Of course, of course!
- All right, back to work! - Yes!
How beautiful.
You worked so hard, my lady!
No, all of you are the ones who worked hard.
Wow, she sure is an extraordinary woman!
She brought those rowdy drifters over
and got them to make 5,000 sheets of paper with her!
She isn't just beautiful, but so generous, too!
Woonpyeongsa. Paper.
Drifters.
And Saimdang.
Huh?
They said that they made paper at Woonpyeongsa, too.
Woonpyeongsa?
Oh, you mean that old temple you visited last time?
The one that burned down 20 years ago due to a huge fire?
All of the drifters who had lived there lost their lives.
Saimdang forsook her brush and has been living as an ordinary woman since then.
But now, she has gathered drifters and is making paper with them.
- Thank you for the meal. - Goodbye!
You've warped the wood underneath you
because you've been sitting there and sighing for so long.
I did? Where?
Where has the wood warped, exactly?
You haven't moved an inch all day
so it's obvious that it probably did!
Oh, you sure have a way with words, ma'am.
Oh, whatever! Hurry up and leave, already!
You're taking up precious space!
I still have a few spoonfuls left, and a lot of meat, too.
Oh my.
And how long are you going to take to eat those spoonfuls?
Do I need to feed you myself?
Oh my, you sure are impatient. I'll eat it myself.
Ugh, how frustrating! Leave, already!
I'm sure my wife won't stand for this.
If she finds out that I came back again, oh man. What should I do?
Oh man.
Oh my.
What are you doing?
What kind of person is your wife?
Tell me!
Oh my, why are you acting like this?
Is the owner of this place here?
Who are you?
We brought the paper that he ordered from us. Where is he?
I'm the owner. Who did you receive an order from?
The person I saw when I came here last time.
He ordered 5,000 sheets of colored paper from us.
- What? - That's right!
He told us to bring 5,000 sheets of colored paper within five days!
Where's the contract, then?
Here.
Here it is.
This wasn't made with me. This has nothing to do with me.
- But... - What's going on, my lady?
What's going on?
Stop causing a scene at someone's place of business and leave.
Wait, please!
Here, please take a look at this.
This is colored paper we've been making for the past five days
without a wink of sleep.
These colors are different than what you have, aren't they?
I told you, I'm busy! Get out!
Please, compare these colors to the ones you have!
Which ones look better to you?
What are you trying to pull, here?
Please, take a good look at these, just once!
- Please! - Yes, please!
Which one of these two seem to be of better quality to you?
We've made 5,000 sheets of colored paper of this quality.
And within five days, too!
Yes, within five days!
Doesn't this store sell the best quality colored paper in all of Hanyang?
Shouldn't you buy our paper then, since it's clearly superior to yours?
Oh, whatever!
I have important guests coming soon, so we're crazy busy as it is.
Leave at once. Leave!
Wait, what are we supposed to do with all this paper, then?
Please, check the quality of our paper!
- Please, just once more! - Stop it!
- I told you to leave! - Please!
- Get them out of here! - Please, just once!
- Leave! - Please!
- Get out!
What is this?
That woman lied to us to get free labor out of us!
Exactly!
What are you looking at?
Why are you getting mad?
Damn it all. How dare she toy with us?
- Hyang. - Yes?
We can't go back home like this.
What are we supposed to do then, when he won't buy our paper?
This is a promise that I made to dozens of people.
The fate of their lives rests in that paper.
And our lives do, too!
If we return like this, the scary boss won't just let it slide!
That's why we can't lose hope now.
Everyone said that you just have to make it to Hanyang.
If the store won't take it, we'll have to sell it ourselves.
Let's go.
What?
Unload these, Hyang. All right.
Colored paper for sale! Colored paper!
This paper was dried by the breeze under the sunlight
and dipped in dye several times!
- What is she doing? - Come and look!
Colored paper for sale!
- As beautiful as a blushing bride! - Thank you!
Please take a look!
Please, come look!
Colored paper for sale! The color is quite beautiful!
It's quite different from other colored paper.
Yes, please take a look!
We have colored paper for sale! Come and look!
See the colors? We have blue paper, too.
Be sure to get rid of them before the ambassador gets here.
Yes.
Colored paper for sale! We have red, blue, purple!
So many colors! Come take a look!
What's going on?
Who gave you permission to sell paper here, huh?

[Saimdang: Light's Diary]
Hurry and get a brush and some ink.
Saimdang has taken a brush in her hand.
What is going on?
The sole survivor of that incident is that woman.
You may end up getting hurt at this rate.
We'll have to wait and see who ends up getting hurt.
I won't ever let go of you again.
It's my turn to live for your sake now.
- You insolent boy! - All right.
- Saying it that way will be fun. - Sounds more natural.
- Once more. - How about "You insolent boy!"
[Sneaks]
[Gently, gently]
[Handsome]
Why are you saying "Come here"? It should be, "Approach."
- Is it okay if I fall first? - Yeah, that will look good.
- You can fall-- - Why you...
Move out of my way!
[Phew] [Exhausted]
