It is called [Walja Taryeong]. ¡°Walja¡¯ means a scamp. It is said that a noted singer of Junggoje, Jeong-Geun Kim, was good at it, but the music is not handed down now. In 1991, a novel, [Gyewoosa] was proved to be the original copy of [Musugi Taryeong]. A hero, Mu-Suk Kim is a prodigal and son of a rich man in Seoul. A heroine, Euiyang is a gisaeng who is selected in Pyeongyang and then, devoted to the Royal Court. Mu-Suk is bewitched by Euiyang at a glance and he takes her out of the gisaeng register, and they live together. Euiyang is quite good at household, but Mu-suk still leads a fast life. Euiyang conspires with Mu-suk¡¯s wife, servant Makdeok, Daejeon Byeolgam (a government post) Cheol-Gab Kim, Seondal (a government post) Kim of Dabanggol, and Pyeongyang Gyeongjuin (a government post) to lead Mu-Suk into financial difficulties so Mu-suk reforms himself, which is the story of [Gyewoosa].
Based on the historic realities that urban entertainment was clear in Seoul after the 18th century, [Musugi Taryeong] satires behaviors of prodigals who were parasites in the society. It intends to remind the rich common people who newly appeared of a sense of proportion. |
