Painted Fire

Begins in the 1850s, when Kim Byung-moon saves the young Jang Seung-up from being beaten by a group of drifters. In return, Jang draws him a picture, and as Kim carefully examines the child's rough drawing, he notices the extraordinary potential of the young boy. Years later, Kim Byung-moon becomes JANG Seung-up's mentor and encourages him to pursue the life of an artist. Kim eventually gives Jang the pen name of Oh-won.
