Overall, I really enjoyed this drama. The ending was a little unsatisfactory, but they really had to get Hyewon out of town without Danwon leaving, because they really never ran off together and I guess they had to make SOME nod to actual history. ;D
I suppose it would have been too much for the producers to be able to have Yun and Jung-hyang end up together. There was no reason not to do it.

hehe, why do you think fans called the producers "cowards"! They did not dare to do what most think is the right combo. ;D And so, the sageuk has ended, for this board. hehe. Btw, what's the verdict on the 2nd fanfic? I'm most tempted to put up the links but somewhat reluctant.

Go ahead, put up the links, they certainly are germane. Why don't you put up a separate thread in this forum called "the story continued" ... or similar.
I have not had a chance to get into the second one, I've been pressed for time after my lost weekend (could not get on line all last weekend) and now am just trying to catch up with what I promised to do, much less what I WANT to do. LOL. I'll read it as soon as I can, because the first one was fabulous.

Ok, since I'm given the go ahead. ;D There are another 3 English fanfics (besides my own) I'll want to throw up too but I'll ask the authors for permission first.
One is a direct translation from the orginal fanfic which was in Chinese, I only did a bit of cleaning up to make the sentences flow more smoothly.
One is rather short and to the point. The third is incomplete (4 chapters), the author did not continue, but it's interesting.

Well, thanks griffin! I for one would certainly appreciate if you are able to post those. Your "continuation" thread will be a nice little resource here.

I must have missed something. It is not really clear to me the reason that Hyewon left town.

I just finished watching Painter of the Wind. Overall I loved the drama and the focus on painting. The relationship between Hye Won and the gisaeng was very touching.
The ending, though, I really didn't like. Hye Won could have stayed with either one of the two who loved her. There was nothing stopping her in either case. The writers, evidently, were just determined to have an unhappy ending, with everyone "yearning" for a lost love. When they could have had their love, just for the asking.

Hi Elaine. Well, if Hyewon were to stay in Hanseong, she risked exposure and death if the Queen Dowager get her hands on her. Jeongjo would not be able to save her if this happened; he would deny all knowledge that he ever knew Shin Yun-bok was a woman. Thus, since she had committed a capital crime, there is only one sentence for her. Hi Chuck, the ending we see in the sageuk was perhaps not the original intention. The script of the last two eps were changed by the producer (the author was feeling harassed, I think due to the tight schedule and there was rumor about some disagreement with the producer) so no one knew what exactly was the conclusion. But in any case, it left behind a raging debate and a split camp. ;D Hong-do and Yun-bok! Jeong-hyang and Yun-bok! In any case, it's not possible for Hong-do to end up with Yun-bok. In history, Danwon Kim Hong-do is one of Jeongjo's favored artists. He continued to paint for the King till Jeongjo's death in 1880. I didn't think theirs was the stronger bond either. It's the YB + JH tie that's glimmering brightly.

I'm not sure if anyone knows about this but there was some discussion on JH's escape somewhere, I forgot where.
In the novel, to buy time for JH's escape, YB put on female clothing to fool KJN. She did this by speaking to him from behind the door (at night). He saw the shadow (YB didn't allow him to enter the room, fobbing him off with some excuse) and thought it's JH.

Bo yess, you are right...this could be the possible reason...but we can create some endings acccording to the story... maybe master went to the king and asked him to protect Hyewon from the background and later he took her as a woman from a distant location to her house as wife:) and she painted the portrait of Dan Won secretly at home while nursing their baby:)

I think just she did not know what Dan Won succeeded with the evidence , after this the widow could not do anything...in the last scenes Yun bok fell in love with the master she wanted just to save him by escaping...and she began to feel as woman clearly

You know very interesting things...could you write me the data of the English edition of the novel? or maybe is it somewhere on the internet for reading? I am very keen of reading it... thank you:)
