[Saimdang: Light's Diary]
It's a genuine An Gyeon piece that has shown up after 500 years.
I want you to write the research paper.
The period doesn't match.
I will ask you, Seo Ji Yoon.
Can you say, without a doubt, that this is An Gyeon's work?
I do not really know.
I'll stomp on you nice and hard so that you can't work in this field again.
You've been fired as a researcher and instructor.
Siesta Di Luna?
Shopping during a conference?
That's not it.
The Crazy Korean Woman.
I had no choice but to terminate her contract.
I was wrong.
[Saimdang: Light's Diary]
[Episode 2]
It went from 680 million won to 940 million won?
Use up to 2 billion won.
I completely pushed out Seo Ji Yoon.
She won't be able to work in the arts at all.
The same applies for that kid, Han Sang Hyun.
I took care of all the issues concerning “Mount Geumgang.”
Did you?
Of course. I'm handling the foreign academics as well.
The Youtube video was a bit problematic.
I took care of it by saying those people had inferiority issues.
There were those questions raised by Han Sang Hyun.
It seems some foreign scholars are talking.
Don't worry about a thing.
You should put on a massive display of “Mount Geumgang” at the gallery.
"You did a good job."
Ah, yes.
Is that what you thought I'd say?
On a small scale, this will involve Sun Gallery.
On a larger scale, it will be a project that our group works on together.
The media is watching.
Even the smallest disturbance can cause a lot of noise.
So, how is it that things got tied up so quietly?
Because of you, Dean Min?
The group's PR team was put to work.
They have marked down media and all portal sites.
I hear that they were both students of yours.
Is that best you can do at handling your students?
I apologize.
If you're going to stay in that spot and continue being careless
you can continue doing so.
Thank you for your time.
Hey, I almost dropped it.
Who do you think you're honking at?
You have to move so I can go.
- I can't go because of you. - Did you pay for this road?
What an ignorant person.
Ignorant?
Who are you calling ignorant, lady!
I'm sorry, ma'am. Please move for us.
Hurry up and move.
I can't move.
Are you crazy?
I am crazy. You want to see how crazy I am?
- What are you doing? - You jerks. See how you like it.
- I need to go quickly. - You people are jerks.
You treat people like crap.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Move it. I said move!
Eun Soo.
This is just a temporary place for our family, so--
Which one is my room?
How about this one?
Let's organize our stuff first, okay?
Mother.
Good job.
Not quite yet.
But all that's left is to make money.
Okay, okay.
All right, then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right.
You take a good company and ruin it within moments.
You even moved “Mount Geumgang”?
Stop talking about things that won't even make money for us.
You lowly man.
Low?
This lowly person here
is the one who dressed you in those designer goods from head to toe.
I even got you this gallery. What's with you?
Be quiet.
I'm going to get a loan of 50 billion won with “Mount Geumgang” as collateral.
Sign the documents.
Who decided that?
It's my decision.
What do you have to do if a tiger drags you away?
You just need to stay alert.
That's right.
No matter where you are, you'll find a way to live if you're alert.
You got it?
Oh my goodness.
What... what is this?
It's a book in Hanmun.
“Mount Geumgang”?
That's right. “Mount Geumgang.”
Oh, our Eun Soo is even good at reading Hanmun.
- Mother, one moment. - Yes, sure.
Hey, Eun Soo is good at reading Hanmun too.
Should we get him a teacher?
Unless there's proof that his "Mount Geumgang" is a fake
there's no answer to this fight.
Is it truly an authentic piece?
It is very strange. It needs to be researched again.
Are you that bad at understanding the situation?
Don't you know who I am?
Oh... Mother, I'll be out for a moment.
Where are you going in the middle of a move?
Can you call Ko Hye Jung from the conservation science lab?
Sure.
- Ji Yoon. - Oh, Hye Jung.
- I thought you were moving. - It's urgent. Hurry.
Oh my. What is it?
Oh, it looks hundreds of years old.
What is this stain?
It looks like wine, possibly.
I found it in a house in Bologna.
Bologna? You mean in Italy?
Last time during the conference.
First, I need to get rid of the dust.
Then I need to regulate the humidity for the dry parts.
I need to stabilize the stained parts and repair the weathered parts.
It's going to take some time.
Please do it for me as soon as you can.
Give me the restored pages as you do it.
It's in such a bad state.
There's not a lot of parts that I can decipher.
"Mount Geumgang."
"Mount Geumgang"?
It can't be? An Gyeon?
Is it about that An Gyeon's "Mount Geumgang"?
If this happens to be about An Gyeon's "Mount Geumgang"
there could be clues to the real "Mount Geumgang."
There could be clear evidence that Professor Min's painting is a fake.
If you can find that evidence, you could clear your name and go back.
You could ruin Professor Min.
For now
this could be my only hope.
I'll do whatever I can to restore it as fast as I can.
Oh! Please give that to me.
- No, it's okay. - Just give that to me.
It's all right.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Mother, do you know him?
No, he must live here.
- Let's go inside. - Yes.
It's been a hard day.
I was busy with the move today. Tomorrow, I'll cook you a proper meal.
Okay.
Goodness, what is that loud thumping?
This is so tiring.
Why are there so many stairs?
Be quiet. Mother is sleeping.
I have big news.
"Mount Geumgang" is mentioned right from the beginning.
"Oh Moon Ji An Gyeon 'Mount Geumgang'."
"Yoo Hwi Bi Jae Huh Man Ja."
"I heard a rumor that Heonwonjang had An Gyeon's 'Mount Geumgang'."
"My curiosity got the better of me."
[Gangneun Heonwonjang] Be careful, Lady.
Oh my. Oh no.
[Saimdang] An Gyeon's "Mount Geumgang" is in there?
Gosh, Lady!
Lady!
["Mount Geumgang" by An Gyeon]
A village is only as beautiful as the people are good.
If one does not live where people are good, where will he learn wisdom?
The master said a wise man will not be destitute for long.
Happiness cannot last long either.
Do not be a foolish person.
A wise man will overcome the fool.
[Aunt Lee]
Destitute for long?
Destitute...
I don't really know.
Destitute for long?
Destitute...
[Lee Gyeom] You rascal!
You rascal! There you go again!
- Aunt! - What am I to do with you?
Get over here now.
Aunt, I'm sorry.
Get over here.
I'm sorry.
I'm in a rush.
Catch that scoundrel. Catch him!
Oh, oh! Look at him.
That young master is the grandson of the king's commander.
His father is the son who was born from the commander and a gisaeng.
He lived with his father as a wanderer until he was nine years old.
His father died and he was alone. They felt sorry for him.
They took him in from Heonwonjang.
He never studies like they tell him to.
He's always drawing useless things.
You could search all eight cities of Joseon and not find such a troublemaker.
Lady! Oh no.
Oh, Lady. Oh dear.
Lady!
Lady, Lady. Where are you going?
An Gyeon's painting is in there.
I must see it for myself.
You cannot go. I will never allow it.
There is no such thing as never.
Oh, oh. Please, Lady.
You just came back from suffering in Hanyang. Why are you doing this?
If you cause trouble again, people will insult your father.
That's why I should not get caught.
No, you can't!
If you must go, you’ll have to step on me.
Oh dear! Oh, oh...
It just won't do, will it?
What in the world? What if someone sees you?
Put it on right now. Your mother will kill me!
I can't get over it because my skirt is in the way.
Why would you go over the fence at all?
A fence is there so you don't go over it.
Once I go over, throw it over.
Lady, please be careful.
Throw it over.
Here.
Here!
What is that you're wearing?
That wouldn't happen to be a new trend in fashion here, would it?
Give it to me.
Is it your skirt?
Give it to me.
What? I can't hear you very well.
I asked you to give it back.
I am someone's precious daughter. You are going too far with your teasing.
I do not think you have the right to say that after jumping over my fence.
Give me back my skirt.
It came in with the wind.
It came in over the fence, so does it not belong to me now?
Let me see.
It's a bit too bright for my older aunt.
Should I try it on?
What is this?
They look as if they will come to life and move.
The only person who can draw this well is the lady in that household.
She likely wanted to come in because--
That's right.
She wished to see An Gyeon's "Mount Geumgang."
[Gangneun Ojukheon: Saimdang's home] "Dae Mok Bang Rong Jae Dae..."
"Sae Hae Mok Bang Rong Jae Dae Man Won Joo."
"Saek Tu Son Dang Wol Hyang Jeon Rong Sup Poong."
[Shin Myung Hwa: Saimdang's father] "Ji Pyeong Gong Jang Sook"
"Gyo Tae Sok Jeon Woo."
"Ji Pyeong Gong Jang Sook Gyo Tae Sok Jeon Woo."
People in this world...
loved the red violet flower.
They grow in the field.
Who knew?
Even in a desolate field, beautiful flowers will bloom.
Therefore...
Therefore?
Interpret it.
The flowers are giving off scent in the field and village and through moonlight.
Past the young nobleman in a remote land. A refined old man in a rural land.
Who wrote that poem?
It was written by a Goryeo poet.
It is Jung Seub Myung's "Dianthus Flowers."
People in the world cannot see their own talents.
That is what the poem is about.
Then what are you so distracted by?
I want to go to Mount Geumgang.
I was not sleeping. I wasn't.
It is unfair that I cannot go because I am a girl.
All right. Let's go again.
"Sae Hae Mok Bang Rong Jae Dae Man Won Joo."
"Dan Woo Mok... Jae Dae Man Joo."
- Hey. - Oh my!
Why are you so startled?
You look like you got caught stealing.
What do you mean stealing?
Father.
Yes.
Are you all right?
Stand up.
Thank... thank you.
He smiled.
He smiled at me.
My lord.
Yes, what is it?
The young master from Heonwonjang would like to see you.
Young master from Heonwonjang?
What does he want with me?
All right. Take him to my room.
Yes, my lord.
All right. We'll stop here for today.
Don't forget to do your readings.
- Yes. - Okay.
Hey, hey. hey. Why do you think he's here?
Who is he here to see?
I heard that he's very handsome. Should we hide and look at him?
Yes.
Why is he here?
Why did he come here at all?
Does he know my father?
Is he here to tell on me about jumping over the fence?
Gosh, I don't know.
He was ridiculously tall. How petty of him.
This is tea brewed with water from a hansong tree.
It tastes very good.
The tea is very high quality as well.
I have something just as high quality: a piece of art by An Gyeon.
I wanted to say hello, so I walked over this way.
I hope I am not being too rude.
Meeting without planning and by fate is also a scholar's luck.
Now you have looked favorably upon me
I feel as my faults are lessened by half.
Take a look at this picture and please let go of the rest of my faults.
They say that looking at a good painting
is like unfolding your own mind.
Being able to look at this great work and clearing our minds
is another benefit of being a scholar.
However, from what I have heard...
there is someone in this household with an eye for art.
Well, uh... well...
Is someone out there?
Yes.
Go and tell my second daughter to come.
Lady!
Wow!
I see the bend and curves.
The angles and turns, spreading apart.
It is as if I am in the mountains.
It is like the art of Kwak Hee.
It is the similar but different use of the Joon Beob technique.
An Gyeon truly is the greatest artist. I am sure of that.
It was definitely not a color here.
How nice would it be if I could keep "Mount Geumgang"
and look for a long time?
I would be able to find those colors.
What then?
Which mountain are you going to go to this time?
You've made me travel through back, front, and side mountains.
We've been to all the mountains in the north.
I'm getting so tired now.
Every night, the cold breeze comes in.
My body aches so much.
Gosh, my stomach.
Oh, ouch.
If you just mix something, won't you find the right color?
If you mix just anything, the picture will turn out...
Oh?
What brings you all the way here?
I think you should use the second green one.
And the seventh yellow one.
What?
What is so hard to understand?
Let me take a look.
Looks like you'll get some white in there.
Isn't that similar?
It is.
This is the color.
Oh? My notebook.
"Poong Dae Wa Pyun Guh. Geum Kyu So Yeom Rae."
The wind carries the flower petals.
The birds steal a glance at white flower blossoms.
My name is Gyeom, Lee Gyeom.
If someone gives you something, I should get something in return.
What is your name?
Saimdang. It is Saimdang.
Oh my! What is this?
Oh wow.
So, the two main characters in the book are Saimdang and Lee Gyeom.
This is a portrait of...
Saimdang?
Hey.
You know...
she kind of looks like you.
Ji Yoon, aren't you going to school?
- Mother, I'll be out. - Okay.
Mother, hello.
- When did you come over? - Last night.
- What are you two doing? - Yes, we'll be going.
What the heck.
[Saimdang's Chochungdo]
Saimdang.
Lee Gyeom.
What happened?
We had a problem, a big one.
Don't tell me like that.
Tell me clearly what happened.
I got kicked out of my house overnight.
The house and bank accounts are all in your name so I can't touch them.
How could you be so irresponsible?
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
That's it?
Is that something you can even say to me?
Manager Im caused a huge issue and then went underground.
There was black money in our investment. It was the Russian mafia.
What?
There's a warrant out for me and the other employees.
So...
Hey, Ji Yoon!
Ji Yoon! Ji Yoon.
- Ji Yoon, Ji Yoon! - Let go.
Don't get emotional.
How can I be reasonable right now?
What am I supposed to do?
I'm in a ridiculous neighborhood with Mother and Eun Soo.
Even my professor position...
Let's talk inside.
Let go!
Breaking news.
There was an earthquake that measured at 4.9 in the area.
The weather headquarters reported that at 2:07 p.m. today
an earthquake occurred 100 kilometers south at sea measuring 4.9.
Of all the earthquakes in the area this year
this was the biggest earthquake so far.
Why is it so foggy?
Drive slowly and carefully.
10 people are missing.
Two people have died and 75 are injured.
Hey, Ji Yoon.
Eun Soo's mom. Open your eyes!
Ji Yoon, Ji Yoon!
Mother!
Are you okay, Lady?
Mother?
Are you all right?
Where am I?
You were so sick for days.
Are you hallucinating?
Hello, Young Master.
Are you here, Lady?
Hello! Hello.
Lady!
Lady, did you travel safely?
It must have been hard to come here.
Mom.
Oh, Yang Hee.
How long has it been?
Grandma!
Oh, are my babies here?
You've all grown so much.
Come on in. Come in.
Come in. Let's go.
It must have been hard to come all this way.
Go on in and rest.
Mom, she has been a little strange.
She has been very sick. Maybe she's not recovered yet.
Oh yeah.
When we were coming here, there was a really handsome scholar.
He was staring at the lady like this.
What? What does he look like?
Oh, he has really dark eyebrows.
I don't know. He's just very good-looking.
All right. Be quiet.
He looks like a scholar, but not.
- I told you to stop. - His nose was like this...
Black bamboo trees?
Ojukheon?
You said she doesn't have a wound or internal bleeding.
Does it make any sense that she's not waking up?
We took a CT and MRI, but found nothing.
All we can do is wait.
Ji Yoon. Ji Yoon!
She must rest.
You have to do something. How can I just wait?
- Ji Yoon. - Calm down.
- Ji Yoon, open your eyes. - You can't do this.
Eun Soo's mom. Eun Soo's mom!
Ji Gok Ga Do?
That's An Gyeon's pen name.
"Mount Geumgang."
An Gyeon's "Mount Geumgang."
Ji Yoon. Ji Yoon!
Ji Yoon, open your eyes. Ji Yoon!
Over here. Over here!
Mother.
I brought you the flower that you like.
It's a Dianthus flower.
Ji Yoon! Open your eyes.
Ji Yoon!
Over here.
Eun Soo's mom.
Ji Yoon. Ji Yoon.
Honey. Ji Yoon, are you okay?
Are you awake? Do you know where you are?
Doctor! Wait here.
Excuse me. She's awake. Get a doctor!
Doctor, Doctor!
Hey, Ji Yoon. Ji Yoon!
Are you a doctor? Didn't you hear them tell you to rest?
Why are you insisting on being discharged?
You wouldn't understand if I told you.
You should admit yourself into a hospital near home.
Yes, Hye Jung.
Why weren't you picking up? I have big news.
Saimdang...
By any chance, does she mention the day she moved from Ojukheon?
Oh?
That day was the anniversary of her father's death.
How did you know? I just restored that part.
This is crazy.
What is it?
On the wall...
"Mount Geumgang."
That's right. It's there directly in the beginning.
Are you a fortune-teller?
Let's talk in person. I'll go there now.
Ji Yoon. Hey, Ji Yoon.
Taxi!
The museum?
I have to go see Hye Jung right now.
What?
I think I can find evidence that Professor Min's painting is fake.
You nearly died in an accident that involved 100 people.
Didn't you hear them say to rest in case of internal bleeding?
We have to go our separate ways. I have to go.
You've done enough.
If you're sick, sleep. If you're hurt, rest.
Why is that painting important right now?
It could be our lifeline.
What are you thinking lately?
I don't know what you're thinking at all.
Did you ever know? You've never known.
You've never tried to know ever since we got married.
Do you know what I've endured to get where I was?
You don't know.
You would never know.
Do you know?
Do you know what I'm feeling?
You threw away your wife and child, so what right do you have to say that?
Hey, that's because I'm...
We're in trouble, President. Manager Im committed suicide.
- You need to come to Mirae Hospital. - Okay.
What? What is it?
Sorry. I need to go first.
- Mister. Please hurry. - Honey.
Mother!
Taxi.
Please hurry. Hurry.
Come on in.
Hey, why is your face so pale?
There's no blood in your face.
- I'll tell you later. - Okay. Sit.
- Is this it? - Yes, it is.
Let me see.
"Dang Boo Ji Kil Oh Hyang Buk Pyung Chul."
That's about the death anniversary.
"Mount Geumgang."
Ji Gok Ga Do Jae.
I'm certain it is "Mount Geumgang."
I know.
I know up to this point.
There is so much Hanja that I don't know.
"Bi Hee Jo."
Hey, we need an expert on this.
In order to translate a book, it takes years and several experts.
Isn't there anyone who could help?
I'm completely cast out now.
If I tell people I have Saimdang's diary, they'll treat me like I'm crazy.
I suppose so. Gosh, seriously.
We need someone who can translate Hanmun.
This is frustrating.
Senior, just this once please.
Try asking Professor Hong at Yeon University.
I'm going to get going.
Please, just this once.
Sorry.
You want help translating this?
Yes.
I'm very busy with my paper due date coming up.
Can't you help me with this one part here?
Ji Yoon.
I heard you left school.
You got fired from all the other lecturing jobs too.
Yes.
I know Min Jung Hak very well.
You probably feel very wronged.
But that man is very stubborn.
From what I've seen of him...
he is determined to cast you out of this world.
You'll probably have a hard time even getting hired in a rural town.
Master says...
- In Sa Ji Uh Do. - Sa Ji Uh Do.
Yi Chi Ak Eui Ak Shik Ja, Mi Jok Yuh Eui Yah.
"Though one wants to be a scholar"
"if you are ashamed of lowly food or clothing"
"there is nothing more to discuss."
This is the first Annal of Confucius.
Mother.
When did you get here?
What are you doing?
That young man has a town school.
They say even a slug has the talent of crawling.
- I'm going to see Eun Soo. - Okay.
It means what matters is your heart.
We'll end class for now. See you next week.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
This isn't much, but it's for you to eat.
What is it? Wow, thank you.
Teacher Han. Here.
Thank you.
- Read it. - What?
Read it.
What is it?
"Dang Boo Ji Ki Il. Oh Hyang Book Pyung Chon."
"Go Hyang Jo Ro. On Hee Hong Ryang Bi Go."
Next line.
"Do Bok Pyung Chong Do. Boo Hwa Gyo Soo."
"Hwa Yeo Pyung Ki Yoo Hwa Shi Jeol Sa."
"Mo Ji Woon Jung Sa Ja Sang Ji. Ja Na Gan Chi."
When did you learn Hanmun?
Bu Saeng Ha Shi Na Go Mo Go Ssi.
What?
Since I was born and my mother raised me.
I learned these things before the alphabet.
I learned about four character teaching when I was five.
When I was older, they made me memorize my family's genealogy.
There are families like mine. Didn't you know?
Can you translate it?
Can you do it on the spot?
Of course.
"I went to North Pyeongchon to get my belongings to move."
"I took Seon, Hyul, and Wool."
I was on my last trip to Gangneun in order to move to Hanyang.
There was a storm last month, so the bridge broke.
The uncomfortable mountain path was said to have become rougher.
I was very worried.
Perhaps the heavens had helped me; the path was very even.
I cleaned up everything so that there are no stones.
[Im Gguk Jung] You worked hard.
Sir, who is that lady?
Why must we move all the stones every time she walks here?
- She's pretty. - What?
She's a person whom a person whom I respect loves.
- Respect? - You, sir?
That's right.
Wow! Who could this amazing man be?
A person whom our Gguk Jung respects?
Be quiet, would you?
Go.
Just go down.
I wonder what he's up to.
[Lee Gyeom of Uiseong County]
It's such a beautiful drawing.
To think that it will be erased soon is very unfortunate.
Is there any flower that does not die?
Pardon?
Nothing in this world lasts forever.
The way you speak is so very eloquent, brother.
I am not your brother.
What are you looking at? Huh?
There's an order in this place too.
You should get going now.
My drawing is not finished yet.
Bok Soon, you're all grown up, aren't you?
You better get out while I'm still being now about it.
You ugly thing.
You should stay in line.
Oh, my lord.
[Lee Hoo: Lee Gyeom's Nephew]
It's time to leave this place too.
Brother!
Who is that?
What is that? What is he doing?
Why? Why is he doing that?
Get off of him! Hey!
Hey!
What is it? What?
Terrible wench.
- You awful wench! - Watch out.
Hey!
Brother.
Let go, let go.
Brother.
Don't leave.
- Don't follow me. - Wait.
Don't follow me.
What are you up to right now?
Spying on me?
- It was Aunt... - Go back home.
Our family is upset that I have been recklessly spending their wealth.
You should go fix that.
Where are you going?
Uncle. Uncle!
Gosh.
[1540 - Gangneun North Pyeongchon]
Lady.
What is it?
Lord of Heonwonjang is back.
It seems like he's married.
He hasn't returned for over 20 years.
Why does it have to be the day that the lady returns?
Saimdang must never hear about it.
Why would I do such a thing?
After the marriage and until she had young master Seon
I heard that she did not speak or eat properly for three years.
Make certain that people do not speak.
- Do you understand? - Yes.
You acted as if you would not last a few days with stomach cancer.
Did you already pass away?
You're very old too, Father.
Much time has passed.
Neither my knees nor my shoulders are in great shape.
Goodness, time is not medicine.
It is poison.
You should come inside if you're here. What are you doing?
She is still the same.
Yes, I am coming.
This is the person who is to be your wife.
It is the horoscope data of Kim Pan Seok's daughter.
Even if I marry her, I will not sleep in the same room.
Are you going to force me into the room with her?
They say even mountains change in 10 years.
It's been 20 years.
You wandered around all those years.
Still, I raised you into a man since you are connected to the royal family.
Why are you wasting your life?
I will not allow it any longer.
See this marriage through.
If you are going to leave again...
I will die right here in front of you.
Oh, my legs hurt.
You've done that so often. It no longer has any effect on me.
Why you... you scoundrel.
I'll be going if you're done.
You scoundrel!
Aunt.
You know better than anyone.
This will not change anything.
Then what will change if you act this way?
From what I hear...
Shin's household's daughter has had many children.
Why can't you accept it yet?
What will change?
Why don't you tell me?
Should I open a coffin and go inside?
Or will you stand up at your wedding?
You make the choice.
----
[Saimdang: Light's Diary]
It's a seal.
Saimdang and Lee Gyeom were in love.
About the man to become Gyeom's father-in-law...
He is someone who wanted stability for the nation and fought for it.
I will have to write a poem.
Our sad and pitiful citizens.
This Kim Yo Chuk Gaek...
Are you referring to the poor people in need?
Kim Yo Chuk Gaek.
He did not commit treason!
It's the picture I drew.
We have to run.
Saimdang. Open your eyes!
Do you not see me, Young Master?
Someone is alive.
You must find that person and kill them.
I heard many people were killed there.
They say it's over a poem.
Find everyone who has that poem!
Recover it.
How is it that a poem given by the king has managed to leak out?
If you insist on this marriage, your daughter will be in danger.
Lee Gyeom will be as well.
I will marry someone else.
Marriage? Who is getting married?
Saimdang, no!
Saimdang!
