Saimdang: Memoir of Colors (Saimdang: Light's Diary / Saimdang, Bitui Ilgi / 사임당 빛의 일기)

Episode 4

I've only written on the ground before so my handwriting is terrible.

To say that you are studying on the bare ground without brush or paper.

Hold on one moment.

Here, take it.

Such a precious thing! Is it okay if you give it to me?

Since you are attempting to learn, although you have tough financial means,

what better reason is there?

Go on.

Th-Thank you, Young Master. Thank you very much.

What were you doing here so late at night?

Mrs. Dam said—

Dam? Did she give you a letter about our marriage?

Is that what it is? Did Saimdang tell you to tell me in advance?

Well, such a response wouldn't have been sent through you.

I heard you reciting the poem as I was running an errand, and without my even knowing I...

Yi Gyeom.

Under the guardian tree...

You want to meet in the Hour of the Tiger (between 3am - 5am)?

That's strange.

Why isn't he coming?

What are you doing here, Young Mistress?

I'm waiting for someone.

What is all this?

I'm going to go to Woon Pyeong Temple.

Why is he not coming?

Shall I help you carry it? I'm also on my way up there to collect some deodeok roots.

Really?

Let's go then.

Is it not heavy? Shall we carry it together?

It's not heavy.

We can carry it together.

No. It's all right.

This is the Goryeo paper made in Woon Pyeong Temple.

Except for here, the others are only called Goryeo paper in name only.

Those are all of low quality.

They say there's a secret to making Goryeo paper,

but my father can make it easily even without that.

Oh my, thank you!

Min Chi Hyung Town head of Pyeong Chang

It's not heavy?

It's alright.

You see this red peony, right?

They say this color comes out of this bug.

Yeonji color. (meaning "rouge") I named it!

Since it's the same color as this Yeonji bug.

Yeonji color?

The ribbon is quite fine.

Did you draw it yourself?

I didn't draw it.

You must have received it from your beloved.

Young Mistress, next time you make the crimson color, I'll go with you.

I also made yellow paint out of gardenia seeds once.

Really?

I also like to paint with the colors I made myself.

Do you know that red color comes from the roots of stoneweeds?

Shall I make that for you later?

Okay, but what's your name?

Seok Soon. I'm Seok Soon.

Seok Soon. Let's go Seok Soon.

Yes.

Woon Pyeong Temple

Let's give him a drink. - Oh right, give me a drink!

Bring some more alcohol.

The alcohol tastes so good.

Who's that? What are you... Hey!

These dirty things! Making me lose appetite for alcohol!

How dare you put those dirty hands on the feast table!

I'm going to cut those wrists right off...

Sir!

Sir, how can you consider getting such lowly blood on your precious blade?

I will take them and teach them correctly.

Please withdraw your anger.

Please do so. You'll get your blade dirty for nothing.

I'm tired. Alright.

Yes. Fine.

Even if I took all of these and sold them,

it probably wouldn't add up to the cost of this one blade.

Just a minute. What's this?

That's... - Miss!

The likes of this painting...

It's the painting I painted. - Miss, please...

Ae Cha Ha Min Sang Cheon Whi...

Gi Myo Chook Gaek Sim Dan Jeol...?

How sad, my poor people...

Those who were thrown out in the year of Gi Myo (1519) ...

My heart is broken for them...?

Aigoo, Sir! Sir! Aigoo, Sir.

That child...

Please let her live! She's so young and she doesn't know any better.

Gi Myo Chook Gaek? How dare you!

How dare you talk about those rebels from the year of Gi Myo?

Whose request did you receive that you do this kind of thing?

She's a child that can't speak.

Where did you pick up this kind of thing?

We were wrong. Please spare us just once.

We've sinned. Please just spare our lives this once.

You bastards!

You can't!

How dare you lowly bastards!

Let go... You bastard...

If you take one step,

the blade won't forgive you.

You can't!

What should we do?

Do you want to make it like it never happened?

Do you have an idea?

I have an intellectual plan.

And you have the backing.

Yes, that's right, when I go back (to the Capital),

I will speak well to my father, His Excellency Prime Minister, on your behalf.

Please help me to escape this situation.

Remember this moment really well!

This is the moment that will change your life!

If we let even one of these people live, we will become murderers!

If we annihilate them,

His Excellency, Prime Minister won't forget your efforts.

Attack!

Oh my! Hurry!

Get them!

Giddyup!

Ah! My lady!

Isn't it Woon Pyeong Temple? - Yes, it is!

What's going on there?

Hey, it's true! I heard there are some people who saw that in person!

In Woon Pyeong Temple?

It was total chaos! Even at the market place, you could see the fire far, far away from the temple.

The fire was set ablaze!

Young Master! Young Master, why are you here?

Didn't you go with our young lady to Woon Pyeong Temple?

Woon Pyeong Temple?

Aigoo, Miss Saimdang... Our Miss Saimdang...

The young lady went to Woon Pyeong Temple!

What should I do? Young Lady!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Oh Man Won Team @ Viki

My Lady! My Lady! - No.

No... no...

Young Master!

Young Master!

Saimdang! Saimdang!

What happened to you? Open your eyes!

What happened to you?

Young Lady!

Lady!

Aigoo! Young lady! What should I do?

Child! Child! Child!

Hurry up and go get the doctor.

Our neighborhood doctor, Doctor Jang left the day before yesterday to go to Mount Geumgang to get medicinal herbs. What do we do?

What about Doctor Kim from Yoo Hwang Valley?

They say that he's gone senile in his old age.

You are saying there's no other option?

I'll go bring Doctor Jang back.

Child! Child!

Young Master! - Move aside! I'm in a hurry.

Hurry up and go to Lady Saimdang.

I got hurt as well.

I'm in pain, too.

Take this to buy yourself some medicine.

Young Master!

Don't your eyes see me at all?

You left me in the middle of the mountain, and

are you saying it doesn't matter even if wolves feed on me?

That's why I'm saying you should apply medicine!

For your help, I'll pay you back when I come back. Move!

Hey, give us bowls of soup and rice and give us extra broth.

Why are you so slow? We've been asking for more drinks! - Alright!

We need to leave soon!

Hey!

Where have you been all this time that you came back so late?

Start by doing the dishes!

More booze here! - Ah, yes.

Saimdang!

Saimdang.

Saimdang...

Aigoo, so nice.

Hyungnim, let's have a drink together. - You should come in.

I'm going to stay here, drinking. Here, take this shot!

Hyung Min, come over here.

Are you going to pass on this heavenly Samhap? (a dish of pork, sour kimchi and fermented skate) Come on!

There's someone who is alive.

Find the owner of this ribbon.

We have to find her and make sure to kill her.

Yes.

What is it?

Oh my god! Mom!

Oh, please, sir!

Why is the young master from Heon Won Estate not coming yet?

I know what you mean.

This won't do. I'll go to Yoo Hwang Valley at least.

Soon Yi, you watch over the lady well, understand?

Yes.

I heard a huge number of people died at Woon Pyeong Sa.

Yes. I heard it was because of a drawing.

A drawing? - Yup.

Nope, I heard it was because of a poem. - A poem?

Aigoo, there's no way that people died because of a drawing or a poem.

Hey, this guy. It depends on the poem.

Ah, it makes me sad. My pitiable subjects.

They even lost all the right ways given by Heaven.

Those who were ousted in the year of Gi Myo, oh, my heart is broken for them.
