Thank you.

Can I stay the night?

You can, but you won't

be comfortable.

It doesn't matter as long as

I can get some shut-eye.

Would you like dinner?

No, but I'd like some drinks.

I heard that this hill's called Sorijae,

and this place is called Sorijae Tavern.

Did it get that name because of

your reputation as a singer?

Then, was there someone

who was here before you?

Yes, it got its name because of

the one who was here before me.

Then, was the person your teacher?

I didn't learn from him

but from his daughter.

Can you sing a piece that you learned from her?

I'm not good, but I'll play the drum.

I want to go with him.

The winds rest, the clouds rest,

and even the flock of geese

flying in the sky rest

when they pass over the snow-covered ridge.

But I won't rest until

I am with my love.

The Herding Boy and the Weaving Maiden

in the sky can see each other

once a year by crossing the Milky Way.

Where does my husband have to cross

so that he can't come to me?

When I die, I'll become a swallow

and visit where my love is.

I'll build a nest

in the eaves of the roof,

and at night, I'll see him

and tell him all that happened.

Did someone seduce him?

Will we never see

each other again?

How can I live in this world without him?

Alone I weep.

He sings great. Who is he?

Someone they invited for Mr. Yun's birthday.

Mr. Yun's not able to hire a master singer anymore,

so they call some traveling singer.

I'm going to head out to Gangjin tomorrow.

Choseon is going to sing

at the rice mill for its opening day.

Are you going to stay here

for a couple more days?

Yes.

It's not like I have places to go to.

Seeing the magistrate,

they all come out at once.

With a cudgel in their hand,

and the royal seal

that is as bright as the sun.

With the royal seal

that is as bright as the moon,

they come from four different gates!

The royal inspector is here!

The royal inspector has come!

As if the sky were falling

and the earth sinking

the people disperse like the waves.

The voice of Hsiang Yu or Zhang Fei

couldn't have been louder than theirs.

Everyone trembles under

the fury of the royal inspector.

The magistrates from different town

are busy hiding themselves.

Stamped and shattered under

their feet are food and dishes.

The drums are thrown and kicked about.

A gayageum's strings are snapped

and a lute is broken in half.

A gisaeng who lost her hairpin

has her hair all loose.

A pipe player who lost his

pipe plays with his fist.

A rifleman who lost his gun

shoots with his mouth.

They bang one another's heads

and bleed from their noses.

Some are writhing

on the ground, some crying,

and some running away

screaming they're in trouble.

The people in the village

have been talking about us.

So what? You're a widow,

and I'm a widower.

I'm afraid they might

come after us.

Who?

My parents and in-laws have

been watching me.

Why?

They think I disgraced the family.

Because you're having an affair

with a lowlife singer?

Is that what you think too?

If I did, would I be here with you?

Let's leave this village.

I'm a poor traveling singer,

but I'll make sure you won't go hungry.

Do you think your daughter

will like me? Songhwa, I mean.

She's not my real daughter.

What?

She's an orphan, but I've been taking care

of her to make a singer out of her.

That's right! You're doing great.

Push! Push!

Push! Good!

Push! That's good!

Oh, no... Try pushing.

Oh, no...

Was his name Yubong?

Yes. He stayed in this abandoned house

until he passed away.

And I learned how to sing

from Ms. Songhwa, his daughter.

What happened to his daughter?

After tending to her father's grave

for three years, she just left.

And you don't know where she went?

No. I wonder where she could've gone,

blind as she was.

What? She's blind?

Yes.

How did she become blind?

A rumor had it that

her father made her blind

to make her a better singer,

or to make sure

she'd stay by his side.

But what kind of parent

would make his child blind

just because he's lonely and

wants to keep his child with him?

Some said that to make

her into a good singer,

he decided to inflict

sorrow on her heart.

But how can you believe that?

Arvaflrang, seufvseufwang.

Arvaflrang, seufvseufwang.

Arariga natne, he-e-he.

Arariga natne, e-e-e.

Dongho, you try singing it alone.

Arariga natne, he-e-he.

Not like that, but arariga natne, he-e-he.

Arariga natne, e-e-e.

Not e-e-e, but he-e-he.

He-he-he.

You go and sit over there.

Songhwa, you try it.

Afvaflrang, seufvseufwang.

Ararkga name, he-e-he.

Hold it with your toes, put your

hand on it, and straighten your back.

Hold the drum stick, and

now try the jungmori rhythm.

Yes!

Sing louder.

I miss him...I miss him...

Why are you looking at the ground?

And twisting your body?

I miss him...I miss him...

I miss my husband in Hanyang.

Since we parted, I haven't

received a single letter.

Is he too busy studying

and taking care of his parents?

So your last name is Lee written

with characters "tree" and "son."

It means even when

you become sixty years old,

your parents will be

there to love you.

You're a great calligrapher.

Great at drawing, too.

A wonderful calligrapher.

Draw one for me, too.

Your name "min" means people.

It's about time people demand more respect.

So I drew a phoenix.

That's right.

Can you be quiet, please?

The character "ju" means pillar.

Humans or animals need

strong pillars in their hearts,

so I drew a pine as a pillar

with cranes on the tree.

Lee Min-ju is a great name.

Minju as in democracy.

I would like one, too.

I'm sorry. I have to go and

have a drink with an old friend of mine.

Hello, sir.

Songhwa, you're all grown-up.

When are you going

to be my daughter-in-law?

Don't you dare think

about taking my girl away!

Aren't you going to say

hi to your uncle?

- Hello.

- Drinks with some tofu, please.

All right.

So what brings you here?

I heard that Dongseong will

sing in a changgeuk performance.

I wanted the kids to hear

what good singing sounds like.

I went to hear him yesterday,

but he didn't sing.

They said he was sick.

So someone else sang the part.

Really?

How about letting me

take care of your kids?

What do you mean?

During the Japanese occupation,

people listened to Japanese songs.

Now that we're liberated,

they listen to western songs.

You won't be able to

make a living by singing.

But not if they learn

how to draw from me.

Cut it out. You think Japanese or western songs

will ever be as good as our pansori?

Soon, everyone will be listening

to pansori. You wait and see.

Dear Moon, do not rise tomorrow.
