You can watch it streaming on viikii: http://www.viikii.net/

But the subs for the ep 17 are ready too: http://bimbibap.com/2008/11/painter-of-the-wind-english-subtitles/

I also ship YB with KHD. I like Park Shin Yang to bits and I really like the way they portrayed teacher/pupil relationship. Gosh,I wish I had a teacher like that, sacrificing himself for me all the time. But I like the relationship with the courtesan too. I am not spoiling it for you but ep 18 got me really really worried.
