Painter of the Wind: Episode 3

Painter of the Wind continues to impress, despite a few flaws here and there. I officially want to marry Moon Geun Young.

Falling down on the job

It’s been revealed belatedly that Moon Geun-young had a minor accident while filming her latest drama, Painter of the Wind, in which she fell down a well — thankfully without (serious) injury.

The incident occurred while filming the fifth episode, when the scene called for her character to act as though she’d injured her ankle and to fall down a well. Co-star Park Shin-yang’s character was to come to her rescue and carry her out on his back, but as they were filming, they had an outtake and readied to reshoot the scene. The actors were being lowered back into the 5-meter-deep well when the crew member managing the wire holding Moon missed the signal, sending Moon falling back down to the ground.

Moon fell about three meters down the well and landed mostly safely, but the fall resulted in injury to her heel and ankle, and — get this — the article points out that it was significant enough an injury that they rushed her to the hospital for an X-ray directly after filming was over. (So glad the accident didn’t mess with your schedule!)

Okay, at first I was a bit concerned reading the article, but then it finished up by saying how filming conditions were so tiring, how Park Shin-yang got tired running and carrying Moon and falling into water, and how the weather was OMG-so-unpleasant-too, and capped it off by saying the episode airs October 8. And then I felt like I was all worried for the sake of more publicity ploys. I feel so manipulated. Damn you, marketing!

Painter of the Wind: Episode 2

Y’know, Moon Chae Won is pretty hot, despite her lack of acting ability. And Moon Geun Young is so boyish here, I often forget that she’s a girl. So when the two get together, I almost forget that they’re actually two girls with some pretty crackling chemistry.

…Almost, but not quite. At last, Korea dips its hesitant toe into lesbianism! Muahahaha!

Take two: Painter of the Wind, Episode 1

[In addition to Dahee's recaps, reader heejae volunteered to share her initial thoughts on the drama Painter of the Wind, and I figure the more (opinions) the merrier. For another perspective and some more detailed thoughts on the drama, please take a look at what heejae has to say. Thanks! -javabeans]

This series got off to a great start. Subtleties are a big part of this series, and so is showing-not-telling; the audience is left to infer about many things often. I may talk about it in this re-cap as though it were the next coming of television or whatnot, but I don’t intend to make those kinds of statements ^^;

In this commentary I will:

  • Give commentaries/insights about this episode.
  • List pro’s and con’s for anyone who might be iffy as to whether or not they’re up to watching this series.
  • …as well as opinions/possible gushing *laughs*

Painter of the Wind: Episode 1

[When I asked for potential recappers of The Painter of Wind (or Painter of the Wind), I was lucky enough to get Dahee Fanel onboard for recaps, so I hope you'll all enjoy her write-ups! Another reader, heejae, will also be weighing in on her very insightful thoughts of the first episode in another post. Thanks Dahee and heejae! -javabeans]

I admit that I wasn’t really expecting much from Painter of the Wind, mostly because I’m not exactly a fan of either the PD or Park Shin Yang. But it turned out to be a lovely, enchanting surprise, and I am happier than I can say. Ahhh, sageuk. You make the cockles of my heart go all warm and gooey.

Especially when it’s a sageuk that plays around with the notion of gender! Oh, the possibilities…
