왕과 사는 남자
1457 Joseon, a story untold by history.
In a remote mountain village of 15th-century Joseon, humble headman Heung-do hears a rumor that any village hosting an exiled nobleman will be blessed with abundance and fortune. Hoping to bring prosperity to his impoverished community, he eagerly submits a petition to host one—unaware that his guest is none other than the fallen monarch, deposed boy-king Danjong.

Based on real events from Joseon history, this tells us the story of the enthusiastic efforts of village chief Um-Heung Do (Yoo Hae-jin) to improve the lot of his citizenry. When a hunting expedition goes quite bizarrely wrong for him, he finds himself in a neighbouring town where the people are doing rather better. Why? Well that’s because a previously high-ranking official from the government had been exiled…
