How will I control that mouth of yours?
How can you speak before you know the situation?
She just started learning this instrument recently...
How is she playing the Young Shin Hwe Sang (Buddhist music)?
Is it alright to learn the music at such a fast pace?
I worry that
that child will learn to play only by technique
but not her heart.
I do not believe I can be the judge of that.
You should ask yourself,
since you have been listening to her play the Guhmongo
without letting us know you were there?
Now see here...!
You asked to see me, my Lady?
That is why you are here, is it not?
What can I do for you?
You said you would give me your life?
Did you not tell me
that if that low-class *** commits another crime
that you would give me your life?
Has Jin Yi got herself into trouble again?
I suppose she has.
Do you suppose she has or do you know she has?
If it wasn't for her, Eun Ho would not be so confused and troubled.
Do you have any proof?
How dare you! How dare you ask me for proof?
If there is no proof, I cannot punish her.
Didn't I just say that my son was confused and troubled?
Does that mean that we are responsible
for returning your son's troubled mind back to normal?
How dare you talk back to me?
Do you intend to insult a noblewoman who is superior to you?
Insult you? How can that be?
As you said, we courtesans are inferior.
And what is being inferior?
It is our fate as inferior beings to work in order to survive.
A courtesan's work is to improve her talents.
And although it may be audacious to say,
but that work is just as hard as a scholar learning the classics.
Each hour is precious to the courtesan.
Do you dare to teach a superior?
Jin Yi is one of the most talented girls in our gyobang.
That means
she is focusing all of her efforts in mastering her artistic techniques.
Thus there is little chance she is doing something else.
If you have no other questions,
I will take my leave now.
The most important step to painting your face is to apply the toner.
Apply it to your face gently and wait for it to be absorbed.
Add water to the white foundation, and apply it to your face.
Once that is done,
use the cloth ball to tidy up.
That is all for the foundation.
Once the foundation is finished,
take the charcoal stick and draw in your eyebrows like crescent moons.
And finally, use the brush to complete your face painting.
You have hands of clay!
What has happened to your eyebrows? They look like caterpillars!
Why are you bare-faced?
I'm asking you why you have not applied any face paint!
Sum-Sum.
Jin Yi, she...
What?
She's still thinking of that young master, don't you think?
She's lost all her focus since she heard about us raising her hair.
Don't you think?
Whatever.
You've applied... face paint?
You look lovely.
You didn't know that before?
So, you might be raising your hair?
That's right.
Are you happy?
Do you even have to ask?
If he gives a large sum of money for raising my hair, I'll be rich.
Why wouldn't I be happy?
You think you're talented, and you're lovely,
so you don't need to learn how to paint your face?
That is not it, Vice Mistress.
If it's not that, then apply your paint!
Apply it to your best ability and come to my quarters.
- Do you understand? - Yes.
Why are all your works so poor in quality and workmanship?
It is nearing the day of Her Majesty the Queen's birthday.
I asked you to produce a finer piece of work
so that I may offer it as a tribute to the Queen!
Forgive me, my Lord.
Show me another one. Another one!
This is it. I want this one.
The quality is good enough.
Who made this?
I did.
I knew it.
Myung-Bo, your workmanship has always been the best.
This is worthy to be presented to Her Majesty.
You must not do so, my Lord!
If it were me, my Lord,
I would have broken that vase before any of the others.
What?
Not only that but I would have the maker of the vase executed.
You audacious girl! Who are you to...!
Bu-Young, what is this you are doing?
How dare you speak before his lordship?
Please forgive us, Lord Byuk ***-Soo.
I am to blame for not teaching my subordinates properly.
What are you standing there for?
Beg forgiveness for your offense this instant!
I cannot do that.
You stupid girl! Do you know who this is?
He is Lord Byuk ***-Soo!
His expertise in the fine arts is paramount in Korea, no the world!
Then...
why is it that he cannot see the evil intentions hidden in the vase?
The evil intentions in the vase?
That is so, my Lord.
What is your reasoning?
You must have a reason.
Will you step away with me?
I will tell you my reason.
If you offer this vase to Her Majesty the Queen,
you will suffer great humiliation.
Although there are many flowers,
