Plot
In 1766, Kang Su-hang, a painter and senior member of Dohwaseo, the Academy of Painting, was found killed after being secretly commissioned by the son of the crown prince who would later become King Jungjo (1752-1800, the 22nd King of the Joseon Dynasty). The commission was to paint a portrait of the crown prince. Seo Jing, another member of Dohwaseo, was found dead while investigating the death of Kang Su-hang. In addition, Seo Jing’s wife was murdered and his daughter went missing. Ten years later, Kim Hong-do, a senior member of Dohwaseo, discovers Shin Yun-bok, a new student. Hong-do discovers great talent in Yun-bok and tries to protect the student from conspiracies that surround him. King Jungjo also discovers Yun-bok’s enormous talent. Kim Hong-do and Shin Yun-bok serve as the eyes of the king, depicting the true reality of the common people. However, powerful palace officials conspire to get rid of the two painters, and soon afterwards, they are kicked out of Dohwaseo. Then, the king secretly orders the pair to find the portrait of his father painted by Kang Su-hang ten years prior. Kim Hong-do and Shin Yun-bok are successful in recovering the portrait, overcoming hurdles and dangerous traps set up by enemies. The recovery of the painting also helps reveal the secret behind the death of Seo Jing, who is actually Shin Yun-bok’s father. In the process, Kim Hong-do realizes that he is truly in love with Shin Yun-bok. However, he tries to leave him because he knows that the affair would be an impossible one. But to everyone's surprise, the truth is revealed. Shin Yun-bok is actually a woman. She had disguised herself as a man to enter Dohwaseo, an institution limited only to males, in order to uncover the truth about her father’s death.
Notes
- "The Painter of Wind" is based on the fictional historical novel "The Painter of the Wind" by Jung-myeong Kee.
- The novel examines the life of 18th century painter Yun-bok Shin. Although highly regarded for his erotic & satrical paintings, there are few documents relating to the painter's life in the present day. Jung-myeong Kee's novel then presents the hypothetical question, "What if Yun-bok Shin was actually a girl dressed in men's clothes?"
- Actress Moon Geun-Young fractured her nose on Oct 9, 2008 while filming a scene for "The Painter of Wind". Co-star Park Shin-Yang accidentally hit Geun-yeong with his elbow while shooting an argument scene. Filming for the show halted for one week while Geun-yeong recovered.
- Other titles based on the same story:
- A Portrait of a Beauty (2008)

In Hungary , we are some who become Corea fans, first through DongYi and Ji Jin Hee, and now through the painters!
I follow these 2 Corean actors till every films and series...
I also would like to read the novel, and we looked after any information about the real painters...the series is fantastic, true intellectual joy, it reminds me to some Shakespeare drama..Great to discover Corea and its cultural heritage, thanks to all who contributed. Perfect work!
Personally, this charecter formed by Park Shin Yang, gave me lot of examole to follow in life!:I

This movie made me cried a lot, though it was really thoughtful and impressive on the beginning till the end. A really sad ending, Yunbok had to leave Hong do but I still want to them to be together just like Hong do promised he will be with her till his death...... TT_TT

I really didnt watch the film ,but i watched the drama that carries the same title . This particular drama has made me interested in the korean tv ,i owe this drama alot because since i watched it i have become a constant fan of the korean tv and it made me love love everything about korea , its culture .traditions , nature even its language .Before that korean language was a puzzle to me with its characters and the circles which are used in abundance in words writing . Now after studying this difficult language ,i am proud to say that i know the consonant and vowel korean letters and why are circles used so much .I have known the rule that each word should begin with a consonant and if the word begins with a vowel the vowel should be preceded by the consonant ng which is silent in the initial position . I am now capable of reading and writing some words but with a bit of difficulty .Thanks a lot to the korean tv ,it doesnt offer us amusement only , but it offers us education of all kinds . Special thanks to the drama Painter of the Wind which enhanced me to discover the treasures of culture in the korean tv

I have watched a lot of Korean TV films but "the painter of the wind " gave me the most impression. Not only the content but also the movie stars' ( M.G Yeung , P.S.Yang , M.C.Won ) performance made it better than any film I've seen. Besides , the music as well as the art of photography contribute so much to the success .
In breif , I love it so that I want to buy the novel in English to read .
