Boy, for all the editorial sturm und drang this article has been through, it sure is ''short''. --[[User:Gary D|Gary D]] 10:41, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Jossi and other followers, I know you do not like it that the article gives a description of the four techniques but they are documented, relevant facts and should hence go into the article according to [[NPOV]] guidelines. I really think that this is important information that will help outsiders to understand what this is all about. [[User:Andries|Andries]] 11:59, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
== Chunhyang ==
== Synopsis: ==
Two lovers, Mongryong and Chunhyang, the son of a nobleman Governor and the daughter of a former courtesan, marry in secret. Ordered to Seoul to finish his education as a public servant, Mongryoung leaves his bride behind but promises he will return. A new governor is appointed to the province and soon becomes attracted to Chunyang making advances. Upholding her love for Mongryoung, Chunhyang suffers imprisonment and torture in her commitment to her husband. Her only hope to be saved from death is the promise Mongryong made to return.
In addition to the Romeo and Juliet-esque tale, Chunhyang sheds light on the realities of ancient Korea. Chunyang explores the harsh differences in living between the yangban(nobles by birthright) and non-yangban and the realities of morally corrupt officials and yes-men functionaries.
Chunhyang is told through, Pansori, a traditional Korean form of storytelling that seeks to narrate through song.
