Also, if you didn't understand the Nongae reference, it's a little piece of history:

In 1593, the Japanese were finally successful in their invasion of Suyeong fortress after the failure of their first that launched the Japanese invasion of Korea (1592-1598). To celebrate the victory, soldiers forced all kisaengs, female entertainers, to join them at the Chokseongnu Pavilion on a cliff which overlooked the Nam River. Nongae was called to entertain the victorious Japanese generals alongside other kisaengs. She led the general, Keyamura Rokusuke to the cliff where she embraced him, held fast her fingers with rings that locked her around him and cast herself along with the general into the river, killing them both.
