Set in fifteenth-century Joseon, Chang Hang-jun’s absorbing period drama begins with a piece of folk wisdom and a poor man’s hope. Heung-do, the headman of a remote mountain village, hears that hosting an exiled nobleman will bring prosperity, so he petitions to take one in, never guessing his guest will be Danjong, the deposed boy-king, removed from the throne and dangerous to be near. An unlikely, touching bond forms between the fallen monarch and the humble man assigned to guard him, even as the village is drawn into the lethal currents of royal intrigue. Beloved stars Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon lead a first-rate cast that includes Yoo Ji-tae, Jeon Mi-do, and Ahn Jae-hong.
