Chi-hwa-seon orChwi-hwa-seon (also known asPainted Fire,Strokes of Fire orDrunk on Women and Poetry) is a 2002 South Koreandrama film directed byIm Kwon-taek aboutJang Seung-eop (commonly known by his pen name, Owon), a nineteenth-century Koreanpainter who changed the direction of Korean art.

It begins with the Korean artist being suspicious of a Japanese art-lover who values his work. The story then goes back to his early years. Beginning as a vagabond with a talent for drawing, he has a talent for imitating other people's art, but is urged to go on and develop a style of his own. This process is painful and he often behaves very badly, getting drunk and being hostile to those who care about him and try to help him.

These events are set against the struggle for reform withinKorea, caught betweenChina and Japan (annexed by Japan in 1910, outside the film's time-frame).
