During one of the intimate scenes in Chunhyang the governor's son likens his new wife to a "grand bell" and himself a "hammer" which will "hit the bell 28 times". I thought this was very humorous line in the movie even knowing that there are considerable nuances in the culture and language that we simply lose through the translation. I am curious to know the literal meaning of what was said. I also would like to know if anyone else is as curious as I am.
