Chunhyang (2000)

Cho Seung-woo: Mongryong Lee

Quotes 

• Mongyong Lee : "Like the sun and the moon, my love will never change."

• Mongyong Lee : Chunhyang, take this mirror. My love is as pure as the mirror's reflection. Cherish it and think of me when you use it.

  Chunhyang Sung : Take this, my husband. My unchangeable love is the same as the color of jade. Think of me when you see it.

• Mongyong Lee : Bring me the Book of 1000 Characters.

  Pangja : Why read a beginner's book to study for your test?

  Mongyong Lee : Because each character has profound meaning.

• Mongyong Lee : Go see how far the sun has fallen.

  Pangja : It hasn't set yet, master.

  Mongyong Lee : Why is it moving so slowly today?

  Pangja : It seemed to run so fast yesterday, but today it must have a boil in its foot.

• Mongyong Lee : A painting of the famous Minister Kang. Did you draw this too?

  Chunhyang Sung : You're making me blush, Master Lee.

  Mongyong Lee : While fishing with no bait, he waits forever to meet King Moon, and later fulfills his dream. While avoiding a disrupt world and becoming a hermit, it's an ambitious life that understands patience. Your wish to meet a good husband is shown in the painting.

• Mongyong Lee : Chunhyang, come here. The night is late. Let's sleep.

  Chunhyang Sung : I don't want to.

  Mongyong Lee : Listen to me and come here. They say for a married couple, ever-lasting happiness depends on the first night.

  Chunhyang Sung : But if you grab the wife's hand, they say it's bad luck.

• Pangja : She cursed me in words I didn't understand. And told me to repeat them to you.

  Mongyong Lee : What words?

  Pangja : She said, 'The wild geese desires flowers... ' or was it the other way.

  Mongyong Lee : Really? They're not insults, but a proverb with deep meaning. Like the wild geese desire the sea, the crabs their holes, and a butterfly's flower, she wants me to come to her.

• Chunhyang Sung : Although a lotus blossoms from clay, it's clean and enchanting, and its scent travels for miles.

  Mongyong Lee : The farther a lotus scent travels, the fresher and purer. Your scent fills my room, and intoxicates me. Instead of the lotus, you're the best flower, Chunhyang.

• Mongyong Lee : Our enemy is not a person, the enemy is the class that divides us.

• Mongyong Lee : Adoring a pretty woman is natural. But don't you think what you did to Chunhyang was too harsh?

  Gov. Byun Hakdo : Class has a definite order. A daughter of a courtesan becomes one naturally. She didn't disobey just me, but she disgraced the law, and committed treason.

  Mongyong Lee : It wasn't injustice... it was her will to be a human being.
