This moving biographical pictures details the life and work of Jang Seung-up, "Ohwon," (Choi Min-sik), a troubled, Korean artist. Nineteenth century Korean society suffered from a blight of poverty and political upheaval. Ohwon emerged from that chaos with the help of a benefactor who pulled him from a street gang and provided copious support and opportunity for developing his talent. Despite Ohwon's newfound freedom and resources, he struggled to break free from his background and the grip of alcoholism. This epic film emotionally portrays this genius's life, as well as deftly presents glimpse into a tumultuous Korea on the brink of revolution.
