Opening scene
In front of the Namwon governor's office, before the night is even deep, a clerk reads out Yi Mongnyong's name and delivers the verdict against Chunhyang. There has been no formal trial and no royal inspector has arrived. Yet who has written this conclusion in advance? Chunhyang senses the style of the verdict is not solely Byeon Hakdo's, and the prison guards whisper that a hand more impatient than the governor's is pushing things along. This night she must face not only the test of love's fidelity but the machinery that writes verdicts before trials begin.
