Forbidden Quest Page #2

What kind of person

do you think I am?

But if you insist.

Wet genitals...

Genitals?

She holds a thick penis in her hand,

and puts it in her mouth.

It certainly is outrageous.

That's the purpose of these books.

It's not all that special.

Really?

The author's pen name is In Bong.

He's considered the best of his kind.

In Bong?

The whole city

waits for his latest creation.

The whole city?

Why haven't I heard of him?

You and he live in different worlds.

Like a bird in the sky

and a fish in the waters.

A bird shouldn't be ashamed

that it isn't aware of the fishes.

Go on.

And so, both Kim Mak-swe

and Hwang Eoh-geun

were flogged fifty times.

Don't you think their punishments

were rather light?

- Well, yes but in this case...

- I see.

Do what you see fit.

I heard you're an excellent writer

and calligrapher.

My lowly talent is not worth mention,

your Majesty.

Anyway, the Queen will be very happy.

Please cure them well.

I don't understand...

why you're doing this.

Don't worry, I Just liked you

from the beginning.

You're very masculine and energetic.

But why me?

We've Just met.

And I'm not energetic.

I like you, too.

A nation is not only made of men

of prominence.

Men who can copy paintings like you

are necessary.

Don't you think?

I can safely say that you will be

in great demand someday.

No, that will be very unlikely.

Now, please get some rest.

There's a wound here.

Can I ask you something?

Yes, if you must.

It's about what

the calligrapher said.

Is there some trouble again?

No, no, that's not it.

He said the writings of In Bong

are renowned.

What about it is so exceptional?

His name is not to be said in vain

under any circumstances.

It's a pseudonym anyway.

What makes it so great?

I've never thought about why.

It's a difficult question.

How can I explain this?

He knows the true flavour of it.

True flavour? What do you mean?

You're the greatest writer in Korea,

so how can you ask that?

Oh, come. Please explain.

Well, it's almost dreamlike.

Dreamlike?

It's like you're in a dream...

and seeing things in a dream.

Tasting things

you can only dream about.

That's the true flavour of it.

Oh boy, how could you have written

without knowing these things?

It's hot!

I heard you carried out the King's

order with dedication and diligence.

And you Joined forces with our enemy

who did that to your brother?

I did carry it out

but I was not the one...

Silence!

Memorial to the King

Genitals

Genitals...

The thick penis penetrated

the woman 's wet genitals.

These are the rules.

You are not to look at the Queen.

If she gives you a gift,

you are to Just bow in gratitude.

If you extend your hand...

Look, I know that much.

I asked you to come see me

so that I could thank you personally.

I was only doing what was my duty.

I heard your physical strength

played a big role this time.

I don't understand, my Lady.

With the gang of vagrants.

When you and your partner

were in danger,

I heard you let out

a thunderous roar.

Then you pounced on the criminal,

and he moved his arm like so,

and you flew like a frog

towards the wall.

Well, that was...

And you went dizzy

and fell in and out of consciousness.

Thank you.

What do you mean, my Lady?

Anyway, thank you.

I was stung by a bee as a child

and ever since I cannot stand bees.

I don't know what this is about,

but go on, tell me.

I wrote it on a whim, I mean,

for game.

Would you take a look at it?

What's it about?

It's an indecent book.

'Chu Wol Sek'.

'The Light of the Autumn Moon.'

- You already have a pen name?

- Well, I thought I'd need one.

Don't make fun of it.

A royal woman...

If it's no good...

Well, what do you think?

I knew it.

I was planning to burn it anyway.

Who would've thought

you of all people?

Come on now.

I said it was for sport.

This is what I think.

I think you should make this

a series of stories.

From the moment they meet,

until the deed is done.

Make it tantalizing.

You think it merits such a fuss?

Look.

I thought my trousers

were going to bust.

Did you get the treatment?

We could have met at my store.

Why do we have to meet here?

Looks like there's a problem.

You don't look too well.

No book either.

I was too arrogant and proud.

Arrogant?

I thought it would be easy,

but it wasn't at all.

So you didn't even try?

Let's see, I promised

the manuscript to the merchants on...

To make copies and get them ready,

I needed it by today.

Now I can't honour this deal.

It's going to become messy.

Those merchants can get nasty.

Oh sir, if only you could...

'Hukgok Bisa'?

You mean,

'Tale of the Dark Valley'?

I was Just trying it out.

Do you think it is inappropriate?

It's pretty explicit.

Isn't that the point?

Well, these books

tend to have sober titles.

But from the first page?

Wait, I guess I don't have

what it takes.

- Give that back to me.

- Sir, hold on.

Slap it here.

What is this?

Just do it

and stop asking questions.

Now we have an agreement.

Hwang, wait!

Hwang! Hold on!

So you haven't started

Chapter Two yet?

Well, it is what it is.

I was feeling under the weather.

And filial duties kept me busy.

And the maids mistakenly threw out

what's been written so far?

Yes, that's right.

So, what's the reaction

to Chapter One?

Well, I mean, it is your first time,

a little rough around the edges.

I see.

I understand.

Let's Just say it never happened.

I Just don't think

I can keep this up.

That darn temper of yours.

It is a huge sensation, okay?

Really, are you sure?

Look, this is your book.

See how it's all worn out?

And look at the last page.

Who wrote all that?

Those who read your prose

were inspired to write down

their thoughts and opinions here.

What do you call these messages?

In my ten years as a merchant,

this is a first.

Since the readers left messages...

how about calling it a message board?

A message board.

Sleep abandoned me

after I read your work.

How well you know the secrets

of a woman's heart.

It is strange.

This is my story.

I must meet the writer.

Did my lover confess to you?

Chu Wol Sek, the writer.

He is human trash.

I will never read his writing again.

I will only read your work.

In Bong's followers are all trash.

Die In Bong!

I eagerly await the next chapter!

You want to keep this?

Aren't those coloured glasses?

My eyes are fine.

These aren't for improving vision.

Writers usually wear these.

Writer...

How can you all

come in droves like this?

Sorry, good bye.

The writer only wants to work with us.

What can I do?

I'm sorry.

I'll see you later. Go on, go on.

Those tradesmen.

I've already circulated sixty copies,

and I'm still short.

Such a fuss over some clumsy work.

Well, it seems you've recovered

the cost of paper.

Well, that is...

Sir, your books are selling well.

But the uproar is, well...

In Bong has come out with a new book,

'Maiden Ok Ryung'.

Oh, I see.

I was wondering what that was.
