Notes
- “A Portrait of a Beauty” is based on the 2007 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?”
- Other titles based on the same story:
- The Painter of Wind (SBS / 2008)
