The King’s Warden

In 15th-century Joseon, "The King's Warden" unfolds in a remote mountain village where humble headman Heung Do strives for his impoverished community's prosperity. A rumor suggests that hosting an exiled nobleman can bring immense fortune, prompting Heung Do to eagerly petition for a guest. Unaware of the profound implications, he soon finds himself responsible for the deposed boy King Danjong, the fallen monarch. As an improbable bond slowly forms between the dethroned ruler and his dedicated keeper, their once-quiet village is inexorably drawn into the treacherous undercurrents of royal intrigue. This compelling narrative explores how loyalty and survival collide when personal destinies intertwine with the perilous world of political power in ancient Joseon.
