01:43
Thank you.
02:09
Can I stay the night?
02:11
Yes, but it's not a pleasant room.
02:15
That's all right, it's just one night.
02:18
How about dinner?
02:20
I just need some rice wine.
02:25
I heard that this road is called 'the road of song'
02:28
and this inn is called 'the inn of song'.
02:32
Is that because of your song?
02:39
Or were there anyone before?
02:44
Yes, there was someone and named after him.
02:51
Did you learn from him?
02:55
Not directly but I learned from his daughter.
03:01
Then let me hear you I will play my drum.
03:18
I should go, I should go To my love
03:39
Climb over winds, climb over clouds
03:58
Even the flock of wild geese over the blue sky
04:07
stop and cross over the uphill, where I shall go after my love.
04:25
The Vega star in the sky, even the Milky Way is blocked,
04:34
is visible once a year. So where is my love?
04:47
Are the rivers blocked? Why can't he come?
05:01
Should I kill myself and become a swallow?
05:10
Fly to my love's house and build a nest there during the day
05:19
I see her at midnight and we can make love
05:38
Did he perhaps fall for another girl
05:48
and will stay with her forever?
05:56
What shall I do How shall I live without him?
06:05
I weep I only cry all alone
06:15
That was great. Who's that?
06:20
A singer was invited to Mr. Yoon's birthday party.
06:24
It seems Mr. Yoon is too poor now to afford a master singer
06:29
but just called a street singer.
07:39
I have to go to Kangjin tomorrow.
07:42
Chosun will sing at the rice mill opening ceremony, right?
07:45
Yes, and you'll be staying here a few more days?
07:51
Yes, I am.
07:53
I don't have any plans, yet.
08:00
Everyone came to see the agent
08:05
With a six-sided club,
08:07
and with a golden badge, looking like the moon
08:08
With a moon-lit badge, looking like the sun
08:11
From everywhere,
08:15
this is a federal agent this is a federal agent!
08:27
Here comes the federal agent!
08:34
His roar scared all the people.
08:38
And a crowd of hundreds scattered apart like the waves
08:43
Like a lion's roar or like an angry tiger!
08:50
Who won't tremble by the frost of summer, especially the district lords?
08:54
With servants running off everywhere, what a scene it was!
08:59
Food is all over the ground. Plates and bowls are shattered to pieces.
09:03
Drums have broken apart, making sounds as it rolls away
09:09
Strings of violin have snapped, and the flute is broken in half
09:12
The gisaeng loses her hair pin, replacing it with chopsticks
09:14
The musician lost his horn and blows into his fists instead
09:20
Soldiers lose their rifles and shoot with their mouths
09:23
They crash into each other ending up bleeding all over
09:26
Some fall down and wail All and sundry scramble around
09:36
The whole town is in chaos Hey, you government servants!
11:33
The rumor spread through the town.
11:38
So what? We're a widow and a widower in love.
11:41
No, I'm afraid of being insulted.
11:46
Insulted?
11:47
Both my parents-in-law and my own parents don't approve.
11:50
Why not?
11:52
They think it's a shame to the family.
11:56
Is it because I'm a lowly singer?
12:02
Is that what you think as well?
12:02
If I did, why would I be with you now?
12:09
Well, we can always leave here.
12:11
I may be a poor singer, but I can take care of you.
12:18
Will Songhwa accept me? Your daughter, I mean.
12:24
Does it matter? She isn't my real daughter anyway.
12:27
What?
12:29
She lost her parents and I'm raising her as a pansori singer.
13:04
That's a good girl. Hang in there.
13:25
One more time, right.
13:29
Push! That's a good girl.
13:34
Push! You're doing great.
13:40
This isn't good. Hang in there and keep pushing.
13:53
Oh, Good heavens.
14:50
Was the singer's name, Yubong?
14:54
Yes, he stayed in this empty house,
14:59
he sang in this house until his death.
15:03
I learned pansori from Songhwa, his daughter.
15:07
What happened to Songhwa?
15:11
After mourning her father's death for 3 years, she left.
15:16
You don't know where she went?
15:18
No, I am worried about her because she's blind.
15:26
What? So the woman was blind?
15:31
Yes.
15:35
How did she lose her sight?
15:40
Well, some people say her father made her blind
15:43
to make her sing better.
15:46
Some say he did that so she could not leave him.
16:16
But others say that no father in this world
16:22
would make his daughter blind to make her stay behind.
16:27
He did it to inflict great sorrow into her heart
16:31
so that she could sing well.
16:35
But can you believe any of this?
16:45
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang
16:49
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang
16:52
There's Arari, he e eh
16:56
There's Arari, he e eh
17:01
Dongho, sing alone. There's Arari, he e eh
17:06
There's Arari, he e eh
17:10
Not he-he-he, but There's Arari, he e eh
17:16
There's Arari, he e eh
17:19
Not eh-eh-eh but he-e-he.
17:22
He-e-he
17:24
Get out!
17:27
Songhwa, you try.
17:29
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang There's Arari, he e eh
17:54
Put your toes under the drum. Hands on the drum and your back straight.
17:59
Hold onto your drumstick. Let's try the "jungmori" part once more.
18:03
Okay.
18:04
Sing louder.
18:15
I miss him, I miss him
18:23
What's on the floor? Don't look down. Don't sway like that! Again!
18:30
I miss him, I miss him! I long to see my love in Hanyang
18:47
After he left me I haven't seen him for so long.
19:04
Is it because he is busy for studying and taking care of his family?
19:20
So your family name is Lee, which means plum tree with tree and son.
19:27
That means the son will stay with his parents well
19:30
even after he's 60 years old.
19:32
Wow, great handwriting. Your drawing is outstanding.
19:38
You're a master calligrapher! I'd like to get one, too.
19:47
Min means people for the people People need to be respected,
19:54
So draw a phoenix
19:55
Yes, that's right.
19:59
Will you be quiet over there? Be quiet.
20:04
The character "ju" for pillar.
20:06
Both man and animal need pillar in the heart.
20:11
So I used pine tree and sat a crane on it.
20:15
Lee Min-ju? What a nice name.
20:22
Can you draw one for me?
20:25
I have to go see my old friend and go out for a drink.
20:40
Hello?
20:41
Wow, Songhwa! You're a grown up lady now!
20:46
Want to be my daughter-in-law?
20:47
Hey, don't you think of taking my daughter away.
20:50
Hey, aren't you going to say hello to your uncle?
20:53
- Hello? - Rice wine and some tofu, please.
20:56
Yes, sir.
20:59
So, what brought you here?
21:02
I heard Lee Dongseong is starring in the pansori opera.
21:06
I wanted them to hear the song.
21:10
I went to the show yesterday
21:11
but Lee was absent because he was sick.
21:13
Someone else replaced him.
21:15
Is that so?
21:20
Instead of teaching them yourself, why don't you let me take them on?
21:25
What do you mean?
21:27
During the Japanese occupation, Japanese songs were popular.
21:29
Now after independence, western music is all the rage.
21:33
Learning Korean folk music won't help make a living.
21:37
If they learn how to draw, at least they won't starve.
21:41
Be quiet! Western and Japanese songs will never beat pansori.
21:47
Just wait and see! Pansori will conquer the world.
22:47
Moon, moon, oh, bright moon, please stay high in the sky
23:00
I hope tomorrow never comes
23:04
so we can stay together and never grow old
23:18
This is love, my love Oh, my love
23:29
Punish the gisaeng for disobeying the lord. Beat her up!
23:39
The first stroke!
23:41
Being punished, I must say something
23:56
How do you expect my devotion for my love to change so easily?
24:12
It's just brutal
24:28
Let's go.
24:34
Hey, Yubong!
24:39
Are you running off somewhere?
24:48
- Good evening. - Any available rooms for drinks?
24:49
Ladies, Mr. Lee is here. Show him the way in.
25:02
Mr. Lee, you have such a big nose!
25:06
Let's see how big you really are.
25:10
Don't even try me or you won't survive.
25:13
We'll see about that.
25:15
She is completely into him!
25:18
All the girls are mad about the leading role.
25:22
That's not true. I prefer a quiet man like him.
25:30
But does that man ever talk?
25:34
Yubong, have you left Seoul forever?
25:39
Master gave us orders before he passed away.
25:44
He wanted us to cancel the expulsion and bring you back
25:47
5 years after Chuwol's death.
25:50
The teacher was quite cruel. After ruining pupil's career
25:54
he had forgiven you right before he died.
25:57
Let's not talk about it.
26:02
Who's Chuwol?
26:05
She was our master's favorite lady.
26:08
Were the mister and the woman having an affair?
26:14
And she died?
26:16
She killed herself. It's been more than five years ago.
26:18
Oh my!
26:19
It was Chuwol who went after you. Not the other way around.
26:24
Drop it!
26:26
I'm just sorry to see your talent being wasted.
26:28
You lost your opportunity and wandering here and there.
26:32
I can take care of myself so everybody just shut up!
26:38
You haven't changed at all.
26:40
We're just worried about you! Why are you getting mad?
26:44
I didn't ask for your help. Mind your business!
26:47
Your singing is horrible! How can you go on stage like that?
26:50
How dare you say that!
26:52
You think you're special just because you're standing on stage?
26:57
Guys, calm down. Yubong is drunk.
27:00
He's a drunken bastard.
27:01
How can you say that to your old friend?
27:03
Friend? Since when were we friends?
27:07
You just pretend to care. Didn't think I'd notice?
27:13
A drunken bastard?
27:14
I'm glad you brought it up. I may be a wandering bastard
27:21
but I'm not a bit scared of you! Just wait and see!
27:25
We're not scared of you, either!
27:27
What? You bastard!
27:30
What's wrong with you?
27:31
Please stop this.
27:33
It's late. You guys go ahead.
27:37
I will stay a little more with Yubong.
27:40
- I don't know what we're doing. - Let's go!
27:45
Sit down, please.
27:50
See you again!
27:51
Your problem is your ego.
27:57
Well, that's what's keeping me sane.
28:01
Here, let's drink.
28:03
He shouldn't drink anymore.
28:05
Who asked for your advice?
28:08
I will drink whenever I want. Shut up!
28:11
Wow, you're finally talking. What a hot mouth!
28:14
Shut your mouth and just pour me a drink!
28:16
Yes, sir.
28:17
Why don't you come to Seoul with me?
28:23
If I go all you will lose your job.
28:30
Then come and prove it.
28:34
What an ass you are. What makes you so confident?
28:39
Things have changed, you know. You should think before you talk.
28:43
You were the teacher's apple but now it's me.
28:47
Oh really? I'm very sorry for not recognizing you.
28:53
Pour the master singer a drink.
28:59
Here, have a drink.
29:01
Have a drink, sir.
29:07
Enough.
29:10
Hey, stop acting so haughty and just try to sing well.
29:16
What, you jerk?
29:24
You may go if you want to.
29:35
Doseung. Let's go to my inn and drink.
29:49
Goodbye.
31:20
Love, love, love, my love You missed a beat.
31:27
Come here and play with me Love, love, love, my love
31:35
This is love, you're my love
31:43
Again, you should sing the chorus.
31:49
Love, love, love This is my love
31:53
This is love, my love No matter what, you're my love
32:06
What are you going to eat now? Is that a sour plum?
32:15
Now that you're having Lee, the junior, eat something
32:19
Songhwa. Who is Lee, the junior?
32:25
It means she's having Lee's baby. She's pregnant.
32:33
What are you going to eat now? Is that a sour plum?
32:42
Now that you're having Lee, the junior, eat something
32:46
No, I don't want any
32:51
Then what do you want to eat?
32:55
What a dumpiness melon. Do you want this sweet melon?
33:04
No, no. I don't want any
33:09
Oh, my love
33:13
How about grapes? Or cherries?
33:18
Or some candy?
33:22
Oh, my love
33:26
Go over there so I can see your back
33:31
Come over here so I can see your face
33:35
Walk in small steps Let me see you walking
33:40
Smile widely so I can see inside your mouth
33:44
Oh, you're my love
33:48
- She's good. - Really good.
33:51
She is really good!
33:55
She has a good voice and a nice face!
34:00
Would you like me to be your first man?
34:03
Maybe I can sell my field
34:06
or sell my mountain.
34:10
Hey, come pour me a drink.
34:13
Yes, go pour him a drink.
34:21
But she is too young for that.
34:25
Quiet! She must do as she's told.
34:28
Baby, pour him a drink.
34:29
Do as you're told. Pour him a drink.
34:40
How clumsy!
34:46
As punishment for spilling, you must take a drink.
34:52
I can't drink.
34:53
You can't go home today before you drink.
34:59
You should at least accept the drink.
35:06
Just pretend to drink.
35:09
Now!
35:12
Good!
35:16
Good, good!
35:19
Hey! She's still a child. You are being too mean.
35:23
What, you fool?
35:25
If you had taught her to be polite, this wouldn't have happened.
35:29
I only teach her how to sing not to drink!
35:32
What? Who do you think you are talking back like that?
35:39
Just because I sing it doesn't mean I'm low in stature.
35:42
Who do you think you are talking to?
35:45
Yubong, apologize to them.
35:47
I did nothing wrong!
35:48
How dare you! Though times have changed,
35:53
you're still a clown. Don't you dare!
35:56
Don't you ever think of coming here again to sing.
35:59
You son of a bitch!
36:01
Hey, who called that bastard of a singer?
36:05
What a real bastard he is!
36:40
Stupid, who taught you to pour drinks?
36:43
You know she didn't have a choice.
36:45
I am not talking to you!
36:49
How could you be so foolish?
37:00
That man is not a father to us.
37:02
What do you mean?
37:03
How could he beat you like that?
37:06
It was my fault. He's only very upset.
37:10
It wasn't your fault at all.
37:16
How much longer are you going to live like this?
37:20
Even though we can sing, our future remains bleak.
37:23
How long are you going to follow him around?
37:29
But I still like singing.
37:32
Singing makes me happy and forget about everything.
37:36
But he's spending all the money you earn on drinks.
37:41
He must be in great pain. Have pity on Dad.
37:48
He is not our dad. He's nothing.
37:51
Dongho, don't say such things.
37:54
He did his best to raise and teach us.
38:33
Oh, my love Are you really leaving me?
38:42
How can you do that to me?
38:52
When are you coming back? Just tell me when
39:00
Will you come back when mountains become plains?
39:18
Will you come back
39:25
when spring comes and flowers bloom?
39:37
Will you come back
39:41
when a pebble becomes a boulder?
39:47
He can't even play the drums properly.
39:55
Like a dragon that follows the clouds
40:04
And the winds follow the tiger
40:12
My love has gone I follow my love
40:31
My love is also worried
40:41
Get out of my way! Get out!
40:42
Chunhyang, don't you cry
40:45
You idiot! You're a horrible player!
40:50
If you listen to me,
40:52
you might think this medicine is a panacea.
40:55
Which will cure all kinds of disease.
41:00
But it's not true.
41:02
This medicine is good for only one illness.
41:06
So what is the medicine good for?
41:24
Eat this!
41:37
Listen to me.
41:39
The sound of drum should be in harmony with a song.
41:45
If you just play the drum anytime it's nothing.
41:50
You're just beating the cowhide.
41:54
When a car runs,
41:58
the road should be in good condition.
42:01
Your drum and chorus should help pave the path for her singing.
42:09
Like there are four seasons in a year
42:14
this drum has four ways of expressing the dynamics and tones.
42:21
How many times did I tell you!
42:26
When you play "jungmori",
42:30
you push, add, cut and undo. Got it?
42:40
Let's get some sleep!
42:42
Also when you add the chorus
42:47
When the song slows down from breathing and the singing is lagging,
42:53
you use the chorus to perk up the song.
42:58
When the song gets sad, weaken the drum beats
43:03
and add some sad chorus.
43:07
When the song is loud and strong, play the drum loudly.
43:12
Do you understand?
43:17
Enough is enough!
43:21
If there are a thousand different beats in "Chunhyangga",
43:32
you have to play it
43:35
a million times until the drum becomes a part of you. Okay?
43:41
Let me get some sleep! I'm sick of your drunken voice!
43:47
I'm sick and tired of following you around!
43:52
Why are you acting so proud about your stupid singing?
43:57
- What? - Why don't you just quit?
44:00
Okay, then I quit! I don't want your cheap money!
44:05
Good idea! I was thinking of hiring a violinist instead!
44:10
Pack and leave now!
44:12
And pay back the money you took in advance!
44:24
We can't live a few hundred years so let's live in harmony
44:47
Mungyeongsaejae is such a climb Its curves make me cry
45:07
A life of wandering singer let's resolve my sorrow
45:29
Like stars in the fine sky
45:39
there're so many worries in my heart
45:49
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
46:09
It's gone, my love is all gone with flocks of wild geese
46:28
Oh, wild goose, let me ask you please tell me where I should go
46:46
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
47:02
My precious lovely daughter, learn to sing and become a master
47:17
My brother, I will follow your drum beats on my life's path of singing
47:31
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
47:44
Let's enjoy the night Enjoy until the moon rises and falls
47:57
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
48:10
Are you hot or cold?
48:14
Come into my arms. Place your head on my arms.
48:24
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
48:36
The sun in the west sky doesn't want to set
48:43
My love leaving me does not wish to do so
48:50
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
49:02
A boat in the boundless sea. Row on, row on your way
49:15
Ari Arirang, Suri Surirang there's Arari, he-e-he
49:51
Honey, I am sorry I didn't see you coming
49:59
It's my fault Come here Come here, honey
50:07
Hello, my wife Do you know where this money came from?
50:19
Money with the power of life and death, and with honor and wealth
50:27
We can live and die for the money
50:35
Money can come and go, come and go
50:43
Where have you been? Look at the money
50:51
Money? Let me see the money Where did you get it?
51:04
Did you borrow it in daily installments? Or monthly?
51:51
It's true a life of a singer is worth less than that of a prostitute nowadays.
51:56
Let's go!
51:58
Dongho, get your drum. Dongho, get your drum! Good.
52:09
Shut up!
52:54
Even if smoking will shorten my life,
53:00
I'd rather live a shorter life smoking.
53:03
Who could resist such a good thing?
53:20
I heard your daughter is a great singer!
53:24
She has talent. I ran out of skills to teach her.
53:30
So I came to learn from your husband.
53:35
Have some tea before it gets cold.
53:37
Thank you.
54:11
I heard you were back home. Sorry for visiting so late.
54:17
Here.
54:21
We are friends. You didn't have to do this.
54:26
It's not much. Use it for your medicine.
54:30
Thank you. Medicine can be damn expensive.
54:36
30 years of selling drinks leaves one penniless.
54:41
And 30 years of singing has left me with only this.
54:46
I am not any better.
54:49
So, what would you like to sing?
54:54
I didn't learn 'the song of prison'.
54:57
I am not good at that myself.
55:01
Just tell me how our master taught it.
55:03
Our master's 'song of prison' is something,
55:08
But I can't sing like him.
55:20
Only half awake, Chunhyang
55:30
Only half awake, Chunhyang
55:39
She hears sounds of ghosts everywhere
55:48
She hears sounds of ghosts everywhere
55:59
Master told me I need to emphasize 'heard'
56:03
to make the following word "ghost" sound smoothly.
56:09
Hears
56:12
Hears sounds of ghosts everywhere
56:22
Throughout the night, Bukbuk Haunted goblin, whitwhit
56:39
Throughout the night, Bukbuk Haunted goblin, whitwhit
56:56
A baby ghost, and a male ghost,
57:08
and a female ghost paired in twos and threes
57:39
For this part, don't use the vocal cord. Sing in falsetto with your nose and head.
57:51
Now, try again with your chin down.
58:14
Good, well done.
58:17
There was a master singer named Song Heungrok.
58:21
He was really good at making ghost-like sounds.
58:24
When he sang this song at night,
58:26
winds would blow suddenly and put out the candles.
58:31
Another ghost is crying
58:40
With her hair down and blood all over her body,
58:57
she comes with a sword in one hand
59:06
She comes up to Chunhyang
59:12
and says "Chunhyang, don't be afraid"
59:23
I am none other than
59:33
Cheongdo, who lived in Namwon with you
59:44
When you reach the high tones, sing with more energy.
59:49
If you sing so weakly like that, it is just a complaint song.
59:54
And why did you twist up your body like that?
59:58
Because she doesn't have enough energy.
60:01
What?
60:02
When she lives on porridge, how can she sing with power?
60:06
Shut up! You don't know anything!
60:11
Try it again from "I am none other than"
60:16
I am none other than
60:25
Cheongdo, who lived in Namwon with you
60:27
It's hard to make a living by singing.
60:30
You'd be better quit before you fall into sickness.
60:34
Singing won't get you rice or food.
60:36
What?
60:38
You idiot! A singer does not sing for money!
60:43
If one is able to achieve the best possible sound,
60:46
it's better than wealth and fame! That's the true nature of pansori!
60:50
Don't you dare talk to me like that!
60:54
I was just saying the truth!
60:55
What? Don't talk to your father like that!
60:57
Damn it, don't you touch me!
61:00
What did you say? Ungrateful son!
61:02
Damn bastard! You bastard!
61:06
I'm going to quit being a clown. Damn it!
61:16
Dongho!
61:20
Dongho!
61:23
Dongho, please don't do this.
61:25
You should leave, too! That's the only way you'll live.
61:30
Dongho!
61:34
Dongho!
62:29
Hey, welcome!
62:31
Did you get the order ready?
62:33
Not all of it. We are out of mushrooms.
62:38
- Can I use your phone? - Sure.
62:40
How short are you?
62:42
About 6 kilograms.
62:49
Operator, Seoul number 22 and 0236 please.
62:54
Oh, how was your trip to the 'inn of song'?
62:58
Fine.
63:08
Sir, it's me.
63:11
I've got everything ready but we're 6kg short of mushroom.
63:17
Yes, sir.
63:48
Sir, is there a bus to Osu instead of the train?
64:12
Excuse me.
64:15
I heard that a blind singer named Songhwa lived here.
64:18
Yes, she did until 3 years ago.
64:20
Do you know where she is now?
64:22
No.
64:23
Does anyone else know her whereabouts?
64:25
I don't think so. I am the most senior here.
64:32
Excuse me.
64:35
How do you know her?
64:40
She said she had a brother.
64:42
She used to sit on the porch and wait for him
65:07
Yes, she stayed here for a couple of months.
65:11
Where could she be now?
65:13
I don't know. She was a wanderer.
65:17
Wasn't she with a man?
65:19
What man would live with a blind woman?
65:23
Because of her good singing
65:25
and pretty face, men would play a bit only to leave her.
66:27
Excuse me, ma'am.
66:30
Do you know a bar called Cheonilok? It's been around for 10 years.
66:35
Oh, over there but the place has been closed for a long time.
66:41
It's me, sir.
66:43
Hey, your kid has pneumonia and your wife is in panic.
66:46
Your kid has been hospitalized so she took some advance.
66:52
Thank you. I will be there as soon as I get your medicine.
66:56
Just wrap things up as soon as possible.
67:00
You worked hard enough to find your sister.
67:03
Maybe it's time for you to forget her.
67:07
I understand what you mean. Talk to you again.
67:54
Uncle!
67:58
Who's this?
67:59
I am Dongho my father's drummer.
68:04
Oh, you must be Yubong's son.
68:14
I left because I was fed up with poverty
68:20
and I hated my father so much.
68:24
But after all I missed them so much.
68:30
I understand.
68:33
I was looking for them for years but only heard dad's gone.
68:39
And I couldn't find Songhwa at all.
68:44
After you left, Songhwa stopped eating and singing altogether.
68:53
Your father was very worried about her.
69:49
Songhwa, he's not coming back. Let's go home.
69:55
When we cut the gourd open,
70:04
I wish some rice is in it
70:26
I am sorry but my voice got hoarse.
70:31
I will let my daughter sing.
70:36
Songhwa, come here.
70:43
Come!
70:54
Play them the 'song of prison'.
71:04
Come on!
71:09
What is she doing?
71:11
Is she mute?
71:13
Songhwa!
71:16
Who called them?
71:19
Hey, the owner!
71:24
Yubong, my friend.
71:27
I heard that you've got humiliated at a ladies' gathering.
71:31
Don't even mention it. I was never so ashamed in my life.
71:35
Didn't I tell you to send her to me
71:38
so she can learn how to draw?
71:40
Don't add fuel to the fire.
71:43
I will do anything to make her sing again!
71:47
You stubborn old man!
71:49
Yes, that's me. I'm nothing but stubborn.
71:52
- Glasses, please. - Yes, sir.
71:56
Well, well. You got older, man.
72:00
And yourself? You smell like an old man.
72:05
Don't worry. I can still make women pleasant.
72:07
You're still bluffing.
72:09
No, I'm not. I know an oriental quack.
72:14
And he put the penis of a sea bear in my medicine.
72:19
Every night and morning, I just can't help myself!
72:25
Do you want to try some medicine?
72:27
You know I don't need that.
72:37
I heard that if you put too much aconite in medicine,
72:41
it will make you blind. I wonder if it's true.
72:46
I think I've heard about it.
72:48
Why? Do you want to go blind?
73:53
I'm better now. Do I still have to take it?
73:57
This is for your health. Drink up.
75:07
What's wrong?
75:08
I can't see.
75:10
You can't?
75:12
Yes, it's been few days.
75:15
Maybe it's because you're too weak. Take my arm.
75:45
Is there a temple nearby?
75:47
There's Baekryun Temple over there.
75:53
Did the sun come up?
75:55
We have heavy morning fog.
77:08
Has the sun gone down?
77:12
Not yet.
77:16
Has the sky turned red?
77:20
The sky is dyed in red.
77:24
I feel the wind.
77:26
Yes, a cold wind.
77:32
Soon, the moon will rise.
77:38
Most likely.
77:41
And the stars, too
77:47
Will I never be able to see the sky, moon and stars?
77:58
Have I gone blind?
78:07
I feel cold.
78:09
Okay, I will make your bed.
78:15
Father?
78:19
I want to sing again. I want to learn 'Shimchungka.'
78:28
Take a look at Shimcheong
78:36
She only wears old dresses to go outside
78:49
Just a humble hood and an old white dress
79:08
She just walks by like a dumped lady
79:19
with her empty rice bowl
79:37
Shimcheong begs from door to door to feed her blind father.
79:43
So don't sing this phrase without any emotion.
79:46
Think as if you're Shimchung try again with more despair!
79:53
I can see the flowers here and there
80:01
So it must be spring!
80:07
Even though spring is here, life is sad
80:19
I used to be a young man but I am an old man now
80:32
My youth has left me so helplessly
80:41
Since spring comes every year, why should I be pleased?
80:53
Spring, you can just come and go
81:00
If you go, summer will come And everything will turn green
81:10
It's been like this forever When summer goes and fall comes,
81:20
it's also obvious The wind is loud in every season
81:34
The red autumn colors keep its integrity
81:46
When winter comes after autumn, cold wind comes with winter
81:54
White snow will cover all the mountains in the land
82:12
Everything will match my grey hair
82:18
Spring comes every year yet my youth will
82:31
never come back after it's gone
82:38
Oh, my friend Say if we live a hundred years,
82:51
there is only 40 years left after we subtract
82:58
all the years of sleeping, sick, and worry
83:24
I heard the house owner died in the war.
83:28
There are still some kitchen utensils and blankets.
83:38
This is a perfect place to practice singing.
83:45
What shall we eat?
83:49
There are around 20 houses nearby.
83:55
We won't starve to death.
84:20
Here is some porridge.
84:39
To sing 'Seopyeonje', you need to feel the deep resentment
84:46
like having your heart cut out.
84:50
Your voice is pretty but it lacks sorrow.
84:54
A person's sorrow comes from
84:57
sadness that piles up little by little in your heart in your lifetime.
85:05
Life is piling up the sorrow. And piling up the sorrow becomes life.
85:14
You've lost your parents and now you're blind.
85:21
Your sadness should be 20 times deeper than others.
85:25
So why can't you make such sad sound yet?
85:27
I heard that it became a rich year
85:33
after I sacrificed myself as an offering
85:44
What if I offer myself as an offering?
85:54
Like a shrimp on dry land... a shrimp on dry land
86:05
Crying won't make you sing better.
86:08
Getting hoarse will create your voice.
86:14
No high tones from tomorrow.
86:18
Just use low and medium tones. And give your vocal cords a rest.
86:23
Like a jumping shrimp on dry land... Like a jumping shrimp on dry land
86:33
Like a jumping shrimp on dry land... Like a jumping shrimp on dry land
87:01
How many times did I tell you
87:06
that screaming won't help you to make your voice?
87:11
When you don't have enough energy, your throat will get hurt.
87:16
Here's some chicken.
87:20
I've sung for it. Come eat with me.
87:29
Eat this and get better to sing.
87:33
What a bastard! Look at this!
87:37
If these aren't chicken feathers, do they belong to a duck?
87:41
You son of bitch! You bastard.
87:45
How dare you take my brood hen?
87:50
Sir, sir, it was me! I ate the hen!
87:58
You bastard!
88:00
You, I will kill you if you ever show up again!
88:06
You son of bitch!
88:18
Wow, he really has quite a voice. Did you hear that?
88:23
The part when Mr. Shim gets angry with the sailors,
88:25
it should sound just like him, okay?
88:29
I heard that it became a rich year
88:35
after I sacrificed myself as an offering
88:45
What if I offer myself as an offering?
88:55
Like a jumping shrimp on dry land. Like the wild waterfalls of Yeosan.
89:05
He beats his chest and jumps up and down in anger
89:23
I can now feel sorrow in your voice.
89:36
Songhwa.
89:39
Yes?
89:42
I was the one
89:54
who made you go blind.
90:02
You knew it, didn't you?
90:12
So do you forgive me as well?
90:31
If you hated me, your voice might have a resentment,
90:42
But I couldn't find any trace of hate in your voice.
90:54
From now, you should try not
91:00
to be buried in your sorrow. But go beyond it.
91:17
We say 'Dongpyonje' song is clear and heavy,
91:23
while 'Seopyeonje' songs are sad and more attached.
91:29
But if you go beyond the sorrow, there is no difference.
91:37
You will have reached new heights.
91:48
I think it was 5 or 6 years ago.
91:55
I heard Yubong and his daughter
91:57
lived at the 'hill of song' and went there.
92:04
But I was only met with a woman named Sewol.
92:11
She told me Yubong was dead
92:15
and Songhwa left the place 2 days ago.
92:27
The boat is at the sea
92:49
I never heard from them since.
92:53
Then a few years later,
92:57
while I was passing by an inn at Boseong,
93:04
I heard a very familiar voice.
93:28
Let's see.
93:29
I already ate so just some soju and sliced pork please.
93:36
Ma'am isn't the singer a blind?
93:47
The white seagulls go up to the hill
94:15
My name is Songhwa.
94:18
Isn't your father Yubong?
94:23
How do you know him?
94:27
Are you Uncle Naksan who used to draw?
94:33
So you remember me? It's been more than 10 years.
94:43
Your voice has matured greatly.
94:50
I still have a long way to go before I can please my father.
94:55
How did he want you to sound?
94:59
He told me not to get buried in my sorrow
95:02
and to go beyond it.
95:10
Well, Yubong really wanted a lot from you.
95:16
I'm sure he took that greedy part with him to the other world.
95:23
You haven't changed a bit.
95:27
I am old now.
95:31
How's your paintings?
95:35
No one wants my painting I can barely live.
95:43
Draw one for me.
95:46
You can't even see. What's the use?
95:52
I can see through my heart.
96:05
'Song' for pine tree. I put two cranes on the pine tree.
96:11
Cranes live for 1,000 years.
96:15
I wish you a very long life.
96:18
I also drew the sun so that you can have a bright future.
96:28
'Hwa' for flower. Flowers attract butterflies.
96:34
Every creature on earth should be in pair.
96:40
Wishing you to meet a good man
96:42
and have children, I drew butterflies.
98:08
When are you paying me back?
98:11
It's been more than ten days.
98:13
I borrowed it from my wife's family.
98:16
I might get in trouble.
98:19
If you don't pay me back, I'm not leaving.
98:26
Can I have something to drink?
98:28
The rice wine is a few days old so it won't be good.
98:31
How about some soju?
98:33
Soju is fine.
98:35
Can I also have something to eat for dinner?
98:38
Is it your first visit to the town?
98:40
Yes, I need a place to stay the night.
98:44
No one stays over these days so it might be unpleasant.
98:49
Don't worry about that.
98:52
I heard you have a singer here.
98:56
Yes, I do.
98:58
Can I ask for a song?
99:01
You've heard of her?
99:03
Yes.
99:06
Well, she doesn't sing lately I have to ask her.
99:20
What do you say? Someone wants to hear you singing.
100:21
I traveled all over the southern states to hear great songs.
100:26
If you sing for me, I could stay up and listen all night.
100:34
I am not that good. My voice would only sound vulgar.
100:38
I came all the way to hear you singing so please do not turn me down.
100:48
It's been a long time since I've played so I won't be much good.
100:57
To let her father see again,
101:00
Shimcheong sold herself to sailors for 300 sacks of rice
101:04
Just as she set off to sea
101:08
Drums go duridungduridung dung dung
101:16
Young lady, it's time to jump into the water now
101:27
When Shimcheong heard this, she went to the bow of the ship
101:33
Oh, my father, I am going to die now
101:44
I wish you can get your sight back and see the world
101:51
And forget about your undutiful daughter
102:02
I do not want to die
102:05
I'm all alone Who can I rely on?
102:16
I see the ocean is so deep and vast
102:27
And reaches up to the sky
102:30
The huge wave hits the bow of the ship
102:40
The sea rolls and laps against the side of the ship
102:50
Look at Shimcheong's walk she is stumbling here and there
102:54
She goes to the bow of the ship and thinks once again
102:57
Maybe my devotion to my father is not enough
103:00
She covers herself with her skirt and closes her eyes
103:05
And runs tumbling down to the end of the bow
103:11
Then she jumps into the sea like a wild goose
103:22
Splash! Then an apricot blossom
103:45
trails after the wind and waves And the bright moon falls into the sea
104:06
When Queen Shim heard of her blind father's story,
104:14
she came down to him with her bare feet.
104:22
Oh, my father!
104:28
When he heard his daughter's voice, his blind eyes popped open wide
104:31
What are you talking about? Who's calling me 'father"?
104:42
I have no son, no daughter
104:51
My only daughter has drowned
104:55
Drowned in the ocean 3 years ago Who called me father?
105:05
Father, haven't you been able to regain your vision yet?
105:14
Father, please open your eyes and see me
107:11
Is that the brother you've waited for so long?
107:18
Yes, when my voice met his drum beats,
107:25
I knew it was my brother right away.
107:29
He played the drum just like my father.
107:33
I knew there was something about him.
107:37
After waiting for him so long,
107:43
why did you act like strangers to the very end?
107:49
Maybe we didn't want to remember our wounds.
107:53
How deep was the sorrow that cannot be resolved?
107:57
Only to let him drift away again?
108:03
We've resolved our sorrows last night.
108:08
How?
108:11
With my song and his drum.
108:16
I could tell that your singing was much different than before.
108:28
I listened all night through.
108:32
When your song and his drum met,
108:37
