The King's Warden

Set against the backdrop of 15th-century Joseon, "The King's Warden" unfolds in a secluded mountain village struggling under the weight of poverty and hardship.

Driven by a dream to uplift his community from despair, Heung-do takes a bold step by submitting a petition to the royal court, seeking permission to host such a noble exile.

Unbeknownst to Heung-do and the villagers, the nobleman destined to arrive is not just any exile but the fallen monarch himself—the young and deposed King Danjong.

The villagers find themselves at the crossroads of loyalty, survival, and the daunting responsibilities of safeguarding a royal secret.

Heung-do must navigate political intrigue and personal dilemmas while striving to protect the king and fulfill his promise of prosperity to his people.
