I guess it's the concept of reading and writing and connecting what you say to lines on paper. Learning how to be literate is hard when you have no foundation and you yourself might have had romanisation from foundations in English to learn hangul. I can't even imagine how I learnt how to read and write when I was young, when surely everything must've looked like scribbles.
I really like the art and the poetic feel this has to it.
But I was surprised when he told her she would get a hang of the writing in a few weeks/month?? Is hanja that hard to master? Because it took me just a few hours to learn how to write and read hanguls; modern korean is like the easiest writing ever. But since during that period they used hanja too, I guess it's understandable.
