The Rebel
"The criminal impersonating a royal official is not taking money. Your Majesty, he is stealing the hearts and minds of your people." In the Joseon Dynasty, there existed a polarizing character who was a hero to the people but an adversary to the system. He identified as Hong Gil Dong. King Yeonsangun was of royal descent but was loathed by his subjects, whereas Hong Gil Dong was born a slave but managed to win the hearts of the commoners. The conflict between these two individuals illustrates the attributes required of a genuine leader. This television series depicts the life of Hong Gil Dong, who fought against the strong elites while surviving in a dangerous and totalitarian nation.
