However, while this is obviously a show about art, it is equally a show about sex. It uses its cross-dressing premise as a starting point to pose provocative questions about gender and sexuality, and unlike many other shows, it consistently refuses to default to safe, easy choices. It suggests that there is more than one way to read a painting or a relationship, and that societally sanctioned views that champion heterosexual male privilege will miss a great deal of meaning. Like Shin Yun Bok’s paintings, this is a daring, sexy show that is quite happy to reveal more about its world than its inhabitants may want to see.

I give it a 9, because overall the story, casting, directing, and rewatch value are very good.
A story about genius crossdressing painter in Joseon era, it highlights the arts, especially paintings and makes it one of the most artistic Korean drama. Not only that, the cross-dressing story also create problems to hero's journey to find love and soulmate. This drama will taught us that love is not as simple as people think. Love is complicated question.
As a sageuk, this drama delivers compelling story with enough politics but not make it as boring as in any sageuk. The characters feel and think like human being. The villains are interesting and the leads really adorable.
There's also some comic relief injected throughout the drama. But the drama itself won't be this great without outstanding performance from Moon Geun Young as Shin Yun Bok and Park Shin Yang as Kim Hong Do. As a duo, they're really amazing and adorable.
Overall, it's a very good historical drama that not focused on politics but more on the arts, especially paintings.

What was good:
- The male lead (Kim Hong Do) suprised me... he looks kind of like any old "ahjussi", but in the end he was very charismatic and he depicted the character's ambivalent feelings well.
- There are many female-pretends-to-be-a-man instances in Korean dramas that are quite ridiculous, but this time the female lead (Moon Geun Young) could be mistaken for a young boy. It brought additional realism to the series.
- The romantic story arch is very slow and mostly only hinted at. Although I love dramas bursting with romance it was refreshing to still understand the characters feelings without much even going on between them (almost none of the old drama clichés).
- It was interesting to see Korean art. The series was very similar to "Goddess of fire" in that there was much attention to detail and you actually felt that the characters were painting these pictures right before your eyes.
What was not so good:
- The female lead (Moon Geun Young) is a very good actress, but I had just watched "Goddess of fire" before watching this and I was struck by the similarities of the female characters she depicted. Of course similarities in storyline would also make you feel that, but still I felt she could've have done more with her character. Still keep in mind she is one of the better drama actors, so I have higher standards for her.
- Besides the romantic story arch I was not very interested in the story. A lot of scenes were boring (although necessary) backroom discussions among nobles trying to one-up each other. This is most likely why I didn't give the series a 9.

…. A drama that portrays a love that is free of boundaries of age, gender and sex. This is about a pure love between souls. I've never seen this idea in my long record of drama watching, especially not in Saeguks. I will write about this more in this review.There was a discussion at the past about this drama, as it won an award for being the first Korean drama that the "best couple" award was for two women.
I decided to write a review about this amazing and impactful drama. I am not proud of my past reviews, as I think my English lacks a lot and I think I can't convey everything I want, and I'll focus mainly on few characters and relationships over other ideas, but I'll try very hard on this one, as this drama holds a special meaning to me.
* This review contains spoilers. but I will try to make it as less as I can. *
* I won't write a summary of the plot as I guess people can read It, and because I think this review will get long anyway so please forgive me.
There are almost no bad points in this drama. I will go and explain each good point I saw important to mention.
Music- I can't say the OST was the best I've heard, but the music was beautifully fitted in the scenes and dialogs. There is a use of traditional Korean music instruments which fits the historical period. I can say I would love to hear the instrumental tracks again.
Characters and relationships:
The main and the strong point of this show is without a doubt, the characters and their relationships.
Shin Yoon Bok- Moon Geun Young is my favorite actress and that is for a reason. Her acting is flawless and virtuosic. Each of her characters is realistic and human. I like that she's never "black" or "white" but a human that lacks a lot, but also has a lot. In this drama, it's no different. SYB is a girl that dresses as a man to hide her true identity and live, so that her past won't be revealed, And MGY does this perfectly. I've never seen a gender-bender like this. She acts and behaves like a guy from the very beginning until the very end. She's not "a woman in a man's cloths", but actually behaves as one. This could have been because she was forced into this, but on the other hand, she always saw herself like one. I'm not sure if this is kind of a message of the writers for questioning gender and sexuality issues, but I do believe there's something in it. I like every moment she was on screen; I could feel her love and passion for painting. As a person that paints and loves art, I was truly mesmerized by the beautiful paintings. She was very devoted, but at the same time also selfish. She was brave and daring.
Kim Hong Do- KHD is a famous painter in Joseon who arrives to the capital to solve a problem that arises in the royal painters' academy. He meets SYB there and becomes her teacher and guider. As a painter, he manages to "catch" the feeling of what he draws. If it was an animal or the enjoyment of the people. I loved how his character was so charismatic, how he was silly and serious at the same time, how he managed to understand things as a painter and as a human. how much he loved SYB. Of course, Park Shin Yang did a great job portraying each and each trait of this amazing teacher, and he delivers emotions so well, I was sometimes surprised how this is only an acting.
Now I have to write about their amazing relationship. Without a doubt, KHD loved SYB so much from the beginning. As a pupil, he understood her potential and couldn’t give up on her. As they got to know each other, they became friends. They painted together, travelled the city, learned from each other. I've never seen such a deep relationship on screen as I saw as those two had. He cared so much for her, he sacrificed himself for her so many times Even if it was his own life or his hand (=his life). All that, without realizing she's actually a woman, and the women he was searching for his whole life. Even after he found out about her, there wasn't a "big dramatic realization" as in other dramas, but it was naturally ok. I loved so much how they showed their natural and realistic dialogs, their understanding without words. It was amazing. This is exactly why I said that this drama was about love between souls. Even though KHD thought she was a man and questioned himself with his sexual attraction and age issues, he loved her so dearly and did so much for her. He honestly loved her soul. I was also impressed by the camera work- the close ups of the eyes and hands- they deliver a poetic sexual tension between them, so you couldn’t miss how much they fell in love for each other romantically also.
Another character, Jeong Hyang- The beautiful Gisaeng that falls in love with SYB. They both were artists. SYB fell in love for her from the beginning. "even though" she was a woman. And I would also dare to say there was definitely erotism between them, especially when JH played the Gayageum and SYB painted. Their bond was a deep bond also. As they shared the love and professionalism for their art, they understood each other's souls with poetry.
SYB in my opinion, loved them both at the same time. But at the end, I think SYB was romantically in love with her teacher, Jeong Hyang was a very important existence for her. She was attracted to her beauty and art, but also attracted to her soul. Even after JH found out SYB was a girl, they still loved each other. I think SYB always saw JH as a mirror to what she could have been if she could be a "real women", And JH was her ultimate muse. That's why I thought she was confused until the end, but was also a very confused as a character. She was forced to act as a boy, so fell in love with a gisaeng (or was attracted to her but too innocent to realize the difference), and at the same time, we can’t deny her feelings toward her teacher, her savior, her "person", as he always sacrificed himself, she admired him and respected his drawings, he comforted her so many times. And you could feel and see their deep feelings for each other in the looks. She cared for him and bought things for him as she always though of him. Until the vey end though, she was doubting her identity, she stayed in a man's cloths, but drew a portrait of herself as a woman.
The beautify of this show, is that the Gisaeng and the teacher, both loved SYB as who she was, no matter of her gender or age, and she loved them for the same reason.
I can't put into words how exciting were the moments of her and KDH were, my heart was pounding each time they stared at each other and talked.
I loved how the message of the show was delivered- love is between two souls, and it doesn’t matter what form they take.
I wonder also if it was a message for a transgender character. But I won't dig too deep into it, as I didn't see anything that was said about it.
The other characters, as much loved or as much hated, I preferred not to talk about in this review, (They weren’t as layered as the others I mentioned)
As I said before, the cinematography was amazing. They really went down into details with the close ups to convey the feelings, the beautiful paintings; how they showed each line and line. Wonderfully done. The flashbacks of the past were entwined in the episodes, and not as the "prologue" as in most Saeguks. The moment SYB imagines her parents while listening to the Gayageum's playing…was so beautiful and poetic.
Apparently, all the paintings in this show and the people were real people, so I found it so interesting, original and amazing how the writers made up a story for each episode and how they related each of the painting to the other and the general plot. It was amazing. And another strong point of the drama.
I was always telling myself "wow, this is so anarchistic of the drama to draw a painting like this". but it seems it was in real life! It made me think, what if people in other counties were way ahead of their time but weren't recognized because they weren't from "the west"? I was surprised to know that the painter's painting of the Gisaeng and the lives of the common people, which in the modern art history of the west were only from the 19's century, were already from the 18's in Korea!
There were only few bad points that made me give this drama a 9 and not a 10, those are very little comparing to the profound good things of the drama.
+ I felt there were some flaws in the writing of the political background-I felt many things were "just there" instead of actually explaining them; in the palace, from the royal family, there were only the king and his grandmother. They didn't say anything about the queen or the crown prince. Where were they all the time?
+ The other characters were sometimes one dimensioned, it was ok, as this drama's focus was on the 2 main characters, their relationship and the art, but I thought that they could have explain a bit more. Many people said this drama was slow but I can't agree at all, as I felt everything was necessary. It was to show development in the relationships, to develop the political background or their artistry way. Everything was in the right pace and with a meaning.
+ The one thing I cannot agree with, and that’s the reason I can't get over this drama and get it out of my head (and heart), is the ending. After I saw it and thought about it a lot, I became able to understand YSB's choice and "why she did it". I understand, but I can't agree with it. Usually, I'm fine with open ending or not exactly good ones, but in this one. It makes me so sad that the writes didn’t put an additional scene to make it a "bitter-sweet" end. Instead they chose to end this drama in a sad ending. So, if you plan to watch this drama, be aware and prepared.
This drama definitely worth the watch though, and I definitely don't regret that I watched it and learned so much about Korea's history and artists. I will definitely recommend this drama even for people who don't like romantically sad endings, but I want you to be prepared to have this heartbreak at the end.
9/10

It captivated me from the start. It's such a beautiful story and a very deep journey for the main characters and they take us with them until the end.
I really enjoyed watching this one.
Obviously it hits you hard on the feels, you might get sad, angry, cry, laugh, cringe and also feel the lovely moments they show us on screen. But in the end it's so worth to watch!
i felt a bit sad when i finished watching this, i wanted more for the main characters and i was also a bit taken aback with how they wrapped the story BUT i still loved it very much and it made sense the way they did it and why it happened. (even tho i'm still sad to think about it, this drama is still one of my absolute favs :D).
The story is great, the music really helps to take you there, the costumes and the set are superb, for those who enjoy dramas in another era and time will like this show for sure :D
It's slow on advancing the story line and to show how the characters evolve but i actually liked that slow progression, the slow burn of how it all connected at the end, the journey, the struggle of it all.
The actors in it were great, good acting, great chemistry and it had it's cute and funny moments too.
Well if you are not a fan of dramas with a story set on another time and era your rewatch value might be zero and you will only watch this once if you get curious enough. But for me and all other drama fans, this show its quite unique and when my heart misses it dearly, i will for sure come back to watch it again :D

Amazing, Simply Amazing
This I think is one of my favorites. It taught me so much about who the Royal Painters were and the process they went through to learn how to paint as a Master; as well as how they learned to draw outside of a one dimensional sphere. It gave me a whole new respect as to how exceptionally talented they were.Most of these reviews seem to be from younger viewers so I will explain something. This drama is not about cross-dressing or being gay. Those who think so are approaching this situation entirely from a physical understanding. This isn’t about sex. The FL did not love the Kisaeng in a sexual manner. This is why she looked and acted so uncomfortable every time Jeong-Hyang tried to undress or approached Shin in a sexual manner. She was in love with her in more of a fantasy way and also because they identified with each other on an artistic level; as well as an unspoken communication best explained as “misery loves company”. If you recall, she was not approachable in a physical manner. Young people, please understand that it is possible to love someone without having sexual thoughts about them. You will be very blessed in your lifetime if you are ever able to have a love for someone without expecting something in return. Yun loved Jeong just for the sake of loving.
Strictly speaking she wasn’t a cross dresser. Don’t apply new world thinking to old. She wasn’t trying to be something she wasn’t, in that truly, for her, dressing and acting like a man was all about survival, it had no sexual connotation whatsoever. Please refer to when the ML defends her to the King in the last episode. If she could not be a painter what else could she have done for a living besides being a slave or Kisaeng? Choices for women were not many back then. Remember when her stepfather said she lived to paint?
This was an exceptional drama that really shows you how repressed women were during the Joseon period. And it shows you from both perspectives; from a Kisaeng who also had no choice, and a Royal Painter, who had no Freedom either. Both ends of the social spectrum but equal results.
I found the interaction between ML and FL very believable. He wasn’t so much older than her, maybe 10 years or so and they shared everything in common that was important in their lives. They made sacrifices for each other…..they tried to protect each other……Love was a natural result. In the end though, it appears she decided that being a painter was more important than Love. Hard choices, well done theatrically.

This was surprisingly very bold considering it was a TV Show. Comparing this to the movie of the same material, this had a more daring story despite lacking the nudity that the movie had. The elements of the women/women relationship were done with reverence and respect. It was very adult and frank. When Yun Bok was revealed to be a woman to Jeong Hyang, the love remained. Likewise with Hong Do, although the roles in this circumstance were switched. Painter of The Wind was able to do so many things but the key details of the complexity of both relationships was captured magnificently, allowing for such a strong core plot to carry the show forward. In addition to the core, Painter Of The Wind was able to fully develop the world of Artistry and Dohwaseo, showing the history of the society and their important place within the world of Joseon. I found myself truly invested in the competitions and the stakes that were at hand, so much that my heart was racing rapidly during the final competition between Hong Do and Yun Bok. Where the story faltered a little. It really didn’t explain the link between King Jeongjo’s search for Prince Sado’s portrait and the death of Yun Bok’s father in a clear manner. At least not a way that I fully accepted without no question. The political nature of that conspiracy was a little lost to my ignorant ears. The performances were excellent throughout the cast. Moon Geun-young had earned the Daesang for the SBS Awards and Best Actress for Baeksang Arts Awards, and while I perhaps need to look at the other candidates for those awards, she earned it with her leading role as the man-dressed female painter. Her counterpart, Park Shin-yang, had more comedic elements than serious ones in his character, the famed artist, Kim Hong-Do. She had to contend with the dramatic love-stories, the tragic past aspects of her character and the light cheerful nature that her character possessed, making it all come off like a complex singular person rather than a mix-match of emotions. She and Moon Chae-won, a ginseng, had magnificent chemistry on screen, more than plenty of male/women pairings have, enough to win Best Couple. A magnificent achievement. It made Moon Chae-won a rising star in the Korean television world which led to breakout roles in the next several years. And of course, the reliable Bae Soo-bin was great as the King who brought honour to his discarded father.
What else could I say? This is an immense period piece. For what it may lack of a historic value that Dong Yi provided in the two years later, this was still able to tell a magnificent, heartfelt story.

"Unique Drama!" "Moon Geun Young best female to male crossdresser ever!"
I have watched this drama when I was younger back in 2009. Though not understanding everything in the story, I was able to see that it was a great drama. Through the years, I often find myself watching clips from the drama (especially with that beautiful soundtrack) and reading up on it to understand more on the story. 2021, I decided a rewatch is needed for me to see if this drama holds up and for me to completely understand the story while watching as a grown up.The drama really does hold up. but first, I completely understand why not a lot of people might like this drama. If you're someone who watches dramas for handsome "oppas", this drama is not for you. There are no oppas here, closest we get is the son of one of the villains (he's not exactly the best character either) or if you count Moon Geun Young's handsome manly disguise then that could be your oppa. Second, if you watch historical dramas for action and swordfighting, this is not your show. This drama focuses more on painting and we have a lot of gayageum (Korean instrument) music too but not a lot of swordfighting. There is a female assasin often feautured when there are action scenes, but there's not really a lot of them in this drama (female assassin is a minor character). Also the drama can be confusing to some if the historical context is not known. I suggest people read up on Crown Prince Sado (to understand the dilemma of the King in this drama) or even King Sukjong (a previous King who had issues with Queens and concubines, he eventually made a law that no concubine can be Queen, this helps viewers understand why the King's stepgrandmother is so young).
Now here are the reasons why this drama does hold up. I don't know about the others but I think the plot is really tightly written. The storytelling is consistent, we really get through the dilemmas and experiences of young artist Shin Yun Bok (a woman who has to disguise herself as a man to become an artist in a world that doesn't accept women to be among those). I especially like how well a story they made that somehow involves the real life paintings of the real life painters the two main characters are based on. The many paintings of this drama really helped me get to know more about Korean paintings and artworks. (I prefer Shin Yun Bok's paintings a lot more than Kim Hong Do's due to the vivid colors and depiction of beautiful women).
The unique relationships! Oh the relationships in this drama! Main character Shin Yun Bok has three potential love interests. None of them typical and all can be considered taboo. First is Shin Young Bok (her foster brother) whose potential romantic interest in her is seen as taboo since society sees them as siblings (plus people think she's a man). Yun Bok doesn't really love him romatically the way he does, but she truly values him as a sibling and is really appreciative of everything he sacrificed for her. Second is Jeong Hyang whose relationship with her is taboo since she's a gisaeng (belonging to someone else) plus knowing the truth that Yun Bok is a woman, they can't be together in historical times. Their love is mutually romantic, most people watching this drama are drawn to this relationship the most since it's about two young women who are both similar yet different yet somehow found love and solace on one another. Third is her teacher Kim Hong Do whose eventual romantic relationship with her is taboo since the world sees her as a man, and even as a woman they are really taboo since he's her teacher and he's very much older than her (plus he knew her since she was a child). Unlike some people who watch this drama, I think Yun Bok very much loves her teacher romantically as she loves Jeong Hyang romantically. She loves Jeong Hyang as a woman who can relate to another woman, she loves Hong Do as a woman who wants to be loved by a man. Thus for the uniquely beautiful relationship this drama portrays plus my love for the storytelling as mentioned in the previous paragraph I am giving this drama's storytelling a solid 10.
For acting, I am giving a 9.5. Moon Geun Young's acting in this drama is so fantastic, she completely sold me on her acting as a woman disguising to be a man, no other actress comes close. She truly deserves her daesang and her baeksang award from this drama. Plus the way she emotes, she's so good! It is this drama that made her one of my most favorite actresses (even if I haven't seen most of her other works except My Little Bride and some clips of Autumn in my Heart, and Love Me Not movie). Park Shin Yang is also really great but I feel like the way he speaks does not fit historical dramas sometimes, he's still great in this show. Two other fantastic actors here are Ryu Seung Ryong and Bae Soo Bin, the former being so good and scary as one of the villains Kim Jo Nyun the latter being so good and charismatic as King Jeong Jo (I was really amazed with Bae Soo Bin here, my image of him before this drama was the very feminine Sayong of Jumong). Moon Chae Won as the gisaeng Jeong Hyang is so beautiful, she also acts really good and cries prettily (there are some imperfections on her acting but given that she's a rookie here, i'm gonna forgive her). Plus she really has fantastic chemistry with Moon Geun Young (they really deserve their best couple award), her talent of having really great romantic chemistry with her partners which we can already see in this drama has brought her success on her later dramas as a lead actress (ex: Princess's Man, Innocent Man, Flower of Evil). Thus my 9.5 rating for the acting in this drama.
The music in this drama is superb. Both "Still thinking of You" and "Two Lovers under the Moonlight" are two of my favorite soundtracks from Korean dramas ever, they are so good. I also really love the songs "Flower Tears" and especially "Line of Sight", the lyrics really depict the feelings of the characters of the drama. A perfect 10.
Rewatch value is only 7.5. While the whole drama is really great, some scenes (especially scenes of older men plotting might be boring to some viewers). The great parts are really rewatchable though. My favorites are Yunbok/Jeonghyang scenes, Yunbok dressing up as woman scenes, Hongdo whenever he almost finds out Yunbok as a woman, plus episode 10 where the part where Hong Do uses Yunbok's bra (which he was confused what it was for) to clean himself is so funny.
All in all I give this drama a 9.5. Kudos to the whole cast plus director Jang Tae Yoo. I'm very much excited for Hong Chun Gi, another painting drama by this director coming later 2021 starring Kim Yoo Jung (child Shin Yun Bok here).

The finale episode is a BIG mess of 'lets hurry up & finish,' thus leaving you with a question mark on why did I watch this for 19 episodes and the end is a messy,rushed and does not flow with the carefully woven pace & story in all the other episodes.
Why watch: If you like-appreciate art history this movie will entertain and offer another glimpse into Korean art & form. Just don't be mad when you see ep20 - just reminisce the art drawing & discussions by masters on the form.

Incentrato sulla vita del giovane pittore Shin Yoon Bok (pittore realmente esistito), circondato da sempre da un'aura di mistero.
Basato sul Romanzo Best-Seller storico di Lee Jung Myung.
(vorrei imparare il coreano solo per leggermi questo libro)
Consigliato!

I think 20 episode is too long for this, i skipped a lot of scenes toward the end for it feels dragging already. If you wish to watch a more interesting take on this certain timeline in Joseon history, better watch YiSan. Both dramas have something to do with the arts (painting) and the mystery of the death of Prince Sado.

Obligée de cacher sa féminité pour avoir le droit de peindre...
J’en suis à ma 4è vision et je l’aime plus à chaque fois, je remarque plus de délicatesse et de finesse dans la réalisation à chaque fois, plus d’intelligence et de délicate ambiguïté dans le scénario à chaque fois !Oui, parce que même s’il y a quelques scènes classiques du genre, passages obligés des dramas « fille en garçon » (quand le supposé garçon doit s’habiller en fille sous les yeux interloqués de son professeur)mais ça n’a rien de burlesque, ou de romantique dans le genre « romance »car le jeune adolescent n’a jamais l’air « fille déguisée » ni sa façon de parler, ni son langage corporel, rien ne laisse penser qu’il y a déguisement, d’ailleurs ce n’en est pas un, c’est un mode de vie imposé depuis sa toute petite enfance, son père ayant senti qu’elle pourrait lui apporter la gloire, mais pas en fille !
Il y a donc la transformation évidente de l’héroïne, mais il y a en filigrane dans tout le drama une subtile allusion à la fluidité des sentiments et des genres car la relation de Yoon Bok et de la gisaeng (merveilleuse Moon Chae Won ! ) s’intensifie peu à peu, ainsi d’ailleurs que celle de Yoon Bok et son maître(excellent Park Shin Yang) déjà fort troublé par le jeune garçon avant de savoir la vérité, ce qui d’ailleurs ne change rien, de concret entre eux, car leur lien essentiel est la peinture, et les scènes où ils peignent ensemble sont magnifiques, ainsi d’ailleurs que celles où la gisaeng joue du gayageum pour lui.
En arrivant au bout de ce préambule, vous allez dire, que c’est un drama ennuyeux, il ne s’y passe rien ! Mais que nenni !
Nos deux héros vont, en plus de leur travail de peintre pour le Roi, se changer en enquêteurs, puis découvrir peu à peu le passé secret de Yoon Bok, affronter la haine des envieux, et surtout la froide cruauté de la Loi qui interdit aux femme d’être différentes ! Il y a beaucoup d’émotion, parfois de l’humour et de l’ironie dans les dialogues entre Hong Do et les peintres officiels qui le haïssent ! Il y a le suspens d’un concours qui opposera maître et élève ! Non, parole, vous ne vous ennuierez pas !
Le drama s’ouvre sur l’image de fin, donc il n’y a pas mystère : la fin n’est pas gaie, sans pour autant être tragique.
De plus la bande son est absolument magnifique, avec de nombreux morceaux de gayageum, de très belles chansons, qui n’entravent jamais l’histoire.
L’interprétation est plus que bonne, excellente. Les duels verbaux tout en sous-entendus vinaigrés entre Bae So Bin (le Roi ) et Lim Ji Eun (la Reine Mère)sont un régal, d’ailleurs les échanges verbaux en général sont très bien écrits, alliant le langage populaire et le langage de cour et son hypocrisie…
C’est vrai qu’il y a 20 épisodes, et qu’ils dépassent souvent l’heure, mais c’est vraiment pas un défaut, et de plus au point de vue historique, il est proche de la réalité, Hong Do ayant été réellement un peintre célèbre, Yoon Bok aussi, mais on n’a jamais trop su si c’était réellement une femme déguisée ou un homme, car le peintre a disparu sans qu’on sache exactement ce qu’il/elle était devenu(e).
Le Roi Yeong Jo a réellement passé son règne à vouloir rendre justice à son père le prince Sado et il est considéré comme le modèle confucianiste de l’amour filial. La forteresse et la ville de Suwon furent créés par lui pour y venir et y rester proche du tombeau de son père.
