▶Synopsis
Born to a family of established court painters, seven-year-old Yun-jeong is a young girl gifted at painting. However, the pressure is on her brother to carry on the proud family tradition, as women aren’t allowed to become professional painters, is destroying her life. While her brother trains to take his place in the court, Yun-jeong helps him out by secretly painting for him. Her life is turned upside down when her brother kills himself. In order to preserve the family honour, she is forced to take her brother’s name and lives as a man.
